Man'n chat a woman can "come
Sinter - ' back." This play, in three
acts, shows that a woman

path through the love of a good, hon

Madge Davis, a chorus girl, who is
rescued from a life of shame by the
love of a man who condones her past.
The story is said to be told in in
cisive style, with a rich vein of com
edy running throughout. The char
acters are ull drawn distinctively, and
each act has a sure punch.

Rayard Vciller, the author of "The
13th t'hair," is well known to thea
tergoers here as the author of "Within
the Law," which up to the present sea
son was unquestionably the most
popular and the most deservedly suc

written. It was the unanimous con

During tlw. past winter she applied
herself too closely to her studies with
the result that the strain told on
her vitality. She felt tired, run
down, nervous and had little or no
appetite.
When the summer vacation did
not seem to rest her as it should, her
father, who lives at 719 Nineteenth
street, Harrisburg, and who had
himself been greatly benefited by
Tanlac, decided that he would see If
it would build up his daughter's
health.
Miss Mildred started taking Tan
lac under his direction and the re
sult was far beyond his expectations
for the improvement in her condition
was immediately noticeable.
Miss Uhland says: "I never knew
that anything could act so quickly.
It seemed as though I began to feel
better right after the first dose. My
appetite came back and I was able
to enjoy my meals once more, 1 slept
better and my nerves grew stronger
every day. That tired feeling left me
and I am now ready for a hard win

GREAT SOULS
FEAR NOTHING
If You Fear Pain Too Much
You Reject Hap
piness
B.v Beatrice Fairfax
I walked a mile with Pleasure,
•She chattered all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,'.'
And ne'er a word said she;
Cut oh! the things I learned from
her
When Sorrow walked with me.
—Robert Browning Hamilton.
Aro you afraid to suiter? If you
fear pain too much to endyre it,
you refuse to pay the price of real
happiness. Sorrow and Joy have
this In common—they are intense,
ihe.v lift humanity out of dullness.
The very largest happiness takes In
tragedy itself. And the most fright
ful tragedy brings something akin
to joy in the sympathy with lite
w hieh is part ot pain.
When Keats wrote "Welcome Joy
and Welcome Sorrow!" he was ex
pressing the fact that the great souls
fear nothing.
For everything life gives us wo
have to pay. Think of the su
preme sacrifices motherhood de
mands. And yet what woman who
comes back from the gates of death
with her child in her arms feels that
the price is too much?
Sacrifice is the thread of melody
which runs through all of life. None
of us have everything. It is neces
sary to choose wisely—to have a
sense of values—-to know what you
are willing to give up in order that
other things may he added to you.
To dare splendidly is not to the blind
to the need of paying a heavy price
—it is to see the penalty and to
realize that the penalty is not too
great.
Life offers to each of us his de
sire. We have to be brave enough
to take it. If riches and case and
a social position mean much to a
man, do you suppose he could throw
them aside and go to look for a
lost continent? But if linding a
new world was a man's real desire,
do you suppose the knowledge that
ho must suffer hardships and face
death would deter him?
We all hope to- come safely out of
horrible undertakings. But only if
our desire to achieve is great are
we so completely brave that we
dare failure and destruction. And
if we greatly dare wo go straight
toward achievement even where we
seem to fail.
It is not easy to sacrifice peace
cf mind. It is not pleasant to take
tip a burden of uncertainty and ter
ror; but unless that is endurable wa
fail to possess the strength which
wins life's great prizes.
Sorrow brings strength and sym
pathy and understanding. The man
who can enclure sorrow has con
quered himself—the conquest of life
lies just ahead. Sorrow and suffer
ing are not too great a price to pay
for success.
Peace of mind is a glorious thing
—it means quiet, comfort, steady
nerves and rest. But only the man
who is ready to sacrifice his peace
of mind can hope to achieve greatly.
Growth always hurts. The very
unrest which drives man to the de
sire for growth lacerates him.
Ambition guts An ache of longing
into the heart.
But all sufferings can be endured
save only one. The loss of peace of
.mind and comfort and friends and
happiness are all endurable. There
is only one price that is too big to
pay for achievement—self respect.
The right to look yourself square in
the eye and call yourself a free man
or woman—the right to take your
place with honest men and women—
is the one thing to which you must
cling unless you can endure the un
endurable heart hunger of feeling
yourself an outcast and a weakling.
Selling your soul to the devil is
this—in its simplest terms: Falling
your own ideas of decency—giving
up your right to right itself.
If you want to achieve, yuo must
look the thing squarely in the face
and argue it out with yourself like
this: "It won't bo easy. Nothing
worth while ever is. I'll have to
fight and struggle every day and all
the time. I will bo driven when I
want to lie down and rest. I wi'.l
be tortured when I want to be quiet
and calm. I will havo to sacrifice
all my little desires. I will have to
go on when I am weary and hungry.
T will have"4o be misjudged. It won't
be easy. It, will mean sufferinng
. yes, it will mean all
that. But it is my biggest possi
bility. I must go nfter it."
When first the X-ray came into
use and the lead screens to protect
the hand of the operator had not
been invented a man over in Bos
ton entered on X-ray Research work.
He felt that here lay a great chance
to help humanity. The action of (he

He made himself strange padded

—no suffering was too great to pay
as price for the knowledge his soul
demanded and for the help to hu
manity his spirit felt driven to give.
He could never have endured the
personal fear that would have saved
his flesh at the cost of his work.
Extreme? Yes. But his indomitable
courage to suffer and sacrifice
brought him what he greatly de
sired. How much would you suffer
for your "heart's desire?" You get
what you want of life IP YOU

NAVY IS BEST .
PAYING SERVICE
Offers More Opporf unities
and Better Facilities That
Any Other Branch
The United States Navy offers
more opportunities to the enlisted
man and Rives better pay both for
active service and in retirement than
any other branch of the armed forces
of the government.
Starting at tlie very beginning it
is possible for a young man by work
and study to have continuous and
frequent advancement with increase
of pay. To his base pay there is al
ways extra pay for special duties
and with each enlistment his pay is
also incresaed. As an instance of
this, a young man enlisting in the
; navy receives now the folowing pay:
! Apprentce seamen, $32.60 a month;
seamen, • second class. $35.00 a
J month, and seamen, ?;;8.40 a month,
j From this post he may become a
petty officer receiving a present war
pay of s4l for third class, $46.50 for
second class and $52 for first class.
Rising to a chief petty officer, his
present war pay is front s6l to SX3.
depending on his class of skilled
work.
The next higher grade is that of
warrant officer, which is a life po
! sition, attainable only by promotion
i from enlisted grades. The pay of a
j warrant officer is $1,500 to $2,400 a
i year, depending upon length of serv
ice with beneiits of retirement at 6 4
| years of age on three-quarters pay
or at any time before 64 for disabil
ity incurred in line of duty. The
warrant officer's grade ,is composed
of boatswains, gunners, carpenters,
machinists, sailmakcrs, pharmacists
and pay'clerks.
Warrant officers have a still higher
step in that they are commissioned
as chief warrant officers in their va
rious grades, with rank of ensign,
after six years of service as boat
| swain, gunner, carpenter, machinist,
l pharmacist or pay clerk. After six
I years' service front date of conimis
j commission they receive the pay and
I alowances of a lieutenant Junior
I grade in the navy; and after twelve
I years' service iromdate of commis
| sion they receive the pay and allow
ances of a lieutenant in the navy.
The advancement which is open to
ambitious young men who enlist in
the navy is not limited to the grade
of warrant officer. There are several
avenues open for promotion to com
mission; for example:
A boatswain, gunner or machinist,
i or a chief boatswain, chief gunner
I or chief machinist, who has been in
| his grade four years and is under
thirty-five years of age, may enter
j the examination for appointment as
I ensign; this examination is held ev
] ery year, appointments being limited
jto twelve annually. A man who wins
' a commission in this manner is en
| titled to the same pay. privileges,
j honors and opportunities for further
j advancement as arc open for officers!
j who are graduates of the Naval i
Academy.
Pay clerks and chief pay clerks;
under 35 years of age may take the I
examination for appointment as as
sistant paymaster in the navy. This
examination is usually held each
year and is competitive.
The law provides for the appoint
ment each year of 100 enlisted men
to the Naval Academy, the require
ments being that the applicant must
pass a competitive examination, must
be under 20 years of age at the time
of appointment, and must have been
in the navy at least one year at date
of entrance of the Naval Academy.
Examinations for entrance to the
Naval Academy are conducted on
board all ships and stations wher
ever there are applicants. In order
to give young men a chance to pre
pare for this examination, classes
arc formed at all the training sta
tions (and on hoard ships), with spe
cial instructors, and the free use of
the necessary text hooks. The can- .
dldates who "have the highest stand- i
lng on the examination, and have j
successfully passed the physical ex
amination, enter the Naval Academy
on August 15 and are admitted on
I exactly the same term as midship
men who are nominated by members
| of Congress, and, upon graduation,
■ receive commissions in the navy.
Retiring l'roni tho service as chief

ho be called into active service he is
then paid in addition to his retainer,
the base pay c the regular navy for
active duty a- fon recruiting duty
ho will rccc: >2 a day or S6O a
month for siu .sicnee. The follow
ing schedule will show what a man
will receive after retirement into the
reserves. After four years of service
he will receive $62.50 a year if he
goes into the reserve force four
months after his discharge. If he
waits over that time his retainer will
be $5 0.
After eight years' service, the re
tainer is S9O If after four months of
| discharge, and $72 after that.
For twelve years' service $125
| y retainer if after four months
I of discharge and SIOO after that.
Reaching sixteen* years af active'
j service, a chief petty officer on going

t For instance, a chief petty officer
drawing a regular pay of $96 month
ly would receive $45 retainer and S6O

tal of $202.
If this man had retired after twen
jey years and was called back, he
could draw $65 retainer, $lO5 reg

Possible New Source
For Paper Pulp Found
Panama, R. P.—Those who are in
terested in possible new sources of
wood-pulp for the paper industry
might do well to investigate the balsa
tree of this and adjacent countries.
The plant is known botanically as
Ochroma Lagopus. It grows more
rapidly than almost any known tree
whose wood is valuable. In four
years' time one has grown to be thir
ty feet high, shading an area fifty
feet square, having a trunk ten
inches thick and several big branches
between four and six inches in diam
eter.
Altogether there is at least a cord
of solid wood in the tree. An aero
could contain seventy-live of these
trees.
Ralsa has several valuable quali
ties. It produces a brown-colored
cotton wool in great abundance, com
monly used for stuffing pillows and
mattresses. As the seeds are very
small—not so large as cabbage or
mustard seed—they do not have to
be removed from the fiber for this
purpose, thus giving it an advantage
over cotton. This fiber may yet bo
found capable of being spun and
woven. It has long and strong fibers
in the bast of the bark, ordinarily
used here to make ropes. This use
is so widespread as to have caused
some scarcity of the tree in regions
adjacent to settlements.
The wooil is white, extremely
straight-grained and easy to work,
and, while soft when green, it seems
to harden later. It looks like a fine
source of wood-pulp if it could bo
obtained in sufficient abundance.
Balsa wood is used by nati\/?s here
in place of leather on which to
sharpen knives and razors because of
the fineness and evenness of its grain.
The plant would probably grow in
Florida and the southernmost parts
of the United States. It has immense
quantities of fine seed inclosed in the
cotton—like fiber of big pods; the
wind easily distributes the seed and
makes it take up any new clearings
very rapidly. Some of the railway
dumps along the canal are covered
with balsa trees which have sprung

New Orleans May
Get Natural Gas
New Orleans, La. —It is possible
that half a dozen towns in Southern
Louisiana, which have been paying
Jl.lO per thousand for gas and $7 a
ton for coal, will have natural gas at
35 to 50 cents per thousand before
spring.
Moreover, analysis of this gas,
which comes from the wells of Terre
bonne district, shows that it carries
a hevay content of gasoline, nn<l oil
men in the Louisiana fields believe
this gasoline can be removed from
it without lessening its value for fuel
purposes.
W. B. McCormick, to whom the
discovery of two gas wells with a
combined flow of 180,000,000 cubic
feet a day is due, has asked from
the city of Now Orleans a franchise
for fifty years to cover the intro
duction and sale of natural gas, gaso
line and petroleum products.
