M
Life's Problems
Are Discussed
*" By MRS. WILSOX WOODROW
Drink, the moralist will tell you. is
the cause of a great part of the
crime, evil and misery in the world:
and In the same category, although
probably in a lesser degree, he will
list envy, jealousy, hatred, covetous
ness and passion.
I am not certain, though, that the
greatest cause of evil and unhappl
ness, the arch-instrument of Satan,
is not just—friends.
Deliver me from my friends! That
has been the cry of all the ages,
since the day that Eliphaz, the Tern
anite, and Blldad, the Shuhite, and
Zophar, the Naamathite, set out to
visit Job in his affliction, and thereby
to furnish a Rarable upon the value
of friendship for all the years to
come.
"Miserable comforters are ye all!"
Job finally burst dut upon them,
Btung by their snug selfrighteousness,
and that is the way many of us have
felt under the tactless or malicious
thrusts of those who come to con
dole with us in our hours of sadness
and adversity.'
True friendship is one of the most
precious things in the world, and
like everything precious is very, very
rare. But what crimes are commit
ted in its sacred name.
I tve a letter from a young ma
tron In Brooklyn, which offers a fair
example:
"Dear Mrs. Woodrow: I am a
young married woman, whose hus
band is a traveling salesman, and
obliged to leave on a four or five
months' business trip every spring.
"My husband and I are very con
genial and we have the greatest faith
and confidence in each other; but

just previous to his leaving and dur
ing the time he is away, I get noth
ing but 'sympathy' from my friends.
They say they cannot understand
how I am able to remain so tranquil
during these long absences of his,
and jest to me continually about the
reputation of traveling salesmen.
"I work during the time that my
husband is away, and in the even
ings I study; but on Sunday, when I
am at leisure and would like to visit
among my friends, as I have been
accustomed to do with my husband,
I now prefer to stay at home because
I am upset and made miserable by
the things I hear.
"You see, I am too busy to re
member that I am lonely, or to im
agine things that my husband might
be doing, except when they stir me
up by their commiseration. I would
be perfectly happy if my friends
could only understand this and ac
cept the situation as I do.
M. F."
The first reply that suggests itself,
of course, is a paraphrase of the
motto which used to hang up in the
old Wild West saloons: "If whisky
interferes with your business, quit
your business!"
So it might be said: "If your
friends interfere with your happi
ness, either give up your happiness
or your friends —whichever you re
gard as the more valuable."
But that is perhaps not quite so
easy as it sounds. As I have already
said, a true friend is a rarity; one is
lucky If one can count three such in
a whole lifetime. Yet we all require
a certain amount of human compan
ionship, and lacking the genuine
article we are compelled to make the
imitation or near-friends do.
These are the ones who, by say
ing or doing the wrong thing make
our sorrows heavier to bear, and in
our joys invariably bring to light
the fly in the amber. Through their
intimate knowledge of our affairs or
situation, they can slip equally into
their condolences and congratula
tions a barbed arrow to wound and
harass.
Still, although one may not care|
to avoid or cease association with
these so-called friends, one may cul
tivate a philosophy which renders
their shafts harmless. No one can
make me mad by calling me a Hot
tentot, but if I were a Hottentot and
trying to conceal the fact I would
resentfully catch up the voicing of
any suspicion of the sort, no matter
how vaguely expressed.
So it is with M. F. Unless she
allows their suggestions of loneli
ness and their jokes about the
flirtatious tendencies of traveling
men to carry weight with her, why
should she be upset or miserable?
There arc certain metaphysical
schools, indeed, that claim we ac
tually bring out in those with
whom we associate the -very things
of which we secretly stand in
dread.
Let M. F., then, before she goes
among her friends, assure herself
of her absolute faith in her husband |

and her complete belief in his fidel
ity. When the friends find her indif
ferent to their "sympathy" ahd their
mocking they will very speedily
quit it.
Let her remember, too, that those
who carp most bitterly against suc
cess are the unsuccessful, that those
who deride the possibility of happy
marriage are the married.
In the calm security of her own
happy union, can she not afford to
pity these "sympathetic" friends and j
smile at their efforts, rather than to i
be stirred by them?
Hearing the
Food Cry
A woman living In the Kentucky
mountains told a social worker re
cently. "I hear there is r.n awful
feud going on somewhere. Is it
true?"
The fact that there is a war is only
just beginning to penetrate those
mountain fastnesses.
A woman in one of the rich agri
cultural districts of an eastern state
is still serving meat every day in
the week and white bread every
meal. Since the "lifty-fifty" order in
buying flour was issued, she was
heard to remark: "My pantry shelf
is getting loaded down with that
breakfast foodstuff that I have to
buy nowadays and the only way I
can get rid of it is to feed it to the
chickens."
The fact of war has not yet pene
trated her fastness.
There are still too many fastnesses
where the seriousness of the food
problem has not yet seemed to pene
trate. They are found in our big
cities and in our richest agricultural
valleys just as often as in the moun
tains of Kentucky.
The ignorance of the poor Ken
tucky woman is pitiful and for
givable, but the indifference o{ the
other woman is lamentable and un
pardonable. Unless the conservation
cry is heard and heeded by all wom
en, the food problem of America will
not be solved.

" Outwitting

(Copyright, 1918, by Pat Alva O'Brien.)

7; time. Just before
daylight, 1 came to
cross, and 1 swam
I it with everything 1 had on.
This swim, which proved to be the
first of a series that 1 was destined
to make, taught me several things.
In the first place, I had forgotten
to remove my wrist-watch. This
watch had been broken in my fall
from the air, but I had had it re
paired at Courtrai. In the leap from
the train the crystal had been broken
again, but it was still going and
would probably have been of great
service to me in my subsequent ad
ventures, but the swim across the
canal ruined it.
Then, too, I had not thought to
take my map out of my sock and the
water damaged that, too.
Thereafter, whenever I had any
swimming to do, I was careful to
take such matters into consideration,
and my usual practice was to make
a bundle of all the things that would
be damaged by water and tie it to
'my head. In this way I was able
to keep them dry.
Hides by Day; Travels at Night
It was now daylight and I knew
that it would be suicidal for me to
attempt to travel in the daytime.
My British uniform would have been
fatal to me. I decided to hide in
the daytime and travel only at night.
Not far from the canal I could see
a heavily-wooded piece of ground,
and I made my way there. By this
time I had discovered that my left
ankle had been strained in my leap
from the train, and when I got to the
woods I was glad to lie down and
rest. The wound in my mouth had
been opened, too, when I jumped,
and It would have been difficult for
me to have swallowed had not the
piece of bread, which was to serve
for my breakfast, got wet when I
swam the canal.
I found a safe hiding place in
which to spend the day and I tried
to dry some of my clothes, but slight
drizzling rainfall made that out of
the question. I knew that I ought
to sleep, as I planned to travel at
night, but sore as I was, caked with
mud and blood, my clothing soaked
through and my hunger not nearly
appeased, sleep was out of the ques
tion.
This seemed to me about the long
est day I had ever spent, but I was
still to learn how long a day can
really be and how much longer a
night.
When night came I dragged my
self together and headed northeast.
My clothing consisted of my Fly-

ing Corps uniform, two shirts, no
underwear, leather leggings, heavy
shoes, a good pair of wool socks and
a German cap. I had a wallet con
taining several hundred francs in
paper money and various other
papers. I also had a jackknife which
I had stolen one day from the prop
erty room at Courtrai, where all the
personal effects taken from prisoners
were kept. For a day or two 1 car
ried the knapsack, but as I had
nothing to carry in it I discarded it.
I traveled rapidly, considering my
difficulties, and swam a couple of
canals that night, covering in all
perhaps ten miles before daylight.
Then I located in some lbw bushes,
lying there all day in my wet clothes
and finishing my sausage for food.
That was the last of my rations.
That night I made perhaps the
same distance, but became very hun
gry and thirsty before the night was
over.
Lives on Raw Vegetables
For the next six days 1 figured
that I was in Germany, and I was
living on nothing but cabbage, sugar
beets and an occasional carrot, al
ways in raw state, just as I got them
out of the fields. The water I drank
was often very rank, as I had to get
it from canals and pools. One night
1 lay in a cabbage patch for an hour
lapping the dew from the leaves with
my tongue!
During this period I realized that
I must Tivoid meeting anyone at all
hazards. I was In the enemy's coun
try and my uniform would have been
a dead give-away. Anyone who cap
tured me or who gave information
from which my capture resulted
might have been sure of a hand
some reward.
X knew that it was necessary for
me to make progress as fast as pos
sible, but the main consideration was
to keep out of sight, even if it took
me a year to get to Holland, which
was my objective.
From my map I estimated that I
was about thirty-five miles from
Strassburg when I made my '.eap
from the train, and if I could travel
in a straight line I had perhaps one
hundred and fifty miles to travel.
As it was, however, I was compelled
to make my detours, and I figured
that two hundred and fifty miles
was nearer the extent of the journey
ahead of me.
In several parts of the country I
had to travel through forests of
young pine trees about twelve feet
high. They were very close together
and looked almost as if they had
been set out. They proved to be a
serious obstacle to me because X
could not see the stars through them
and I was relying upon the heavens
to guide me to freedom. lam not
much of an astronomer, but I know
the Pole Star when I see it. But
for it I wouldn't be here today!
I believe it rained every night andj
day while I was making my way
through Germany to Luxembourg.
My invariable program at this
stage of my journey was to travel
steadily all night until about 6 in
the morning, when I would com
mence to look around for a place l
wherein to hide during the day. Low
bushes or woods back from the road,
as far as possible from the traveled
pathway, usually served me for this
purpose. Having found such a spot,
I would drop down and try to sleep.

and that was usually soaked through!
either from the rain or from swim-1
ming.
The only sleep I got during those!
days was from exhaustion, and it
usually came to me toward dusk
when It was time for me to start
again.
It was a mighty fortunate thing
for me that I was not a smoker.
Somehow I have never used tobacco
in any form. I was now fully re
paid for whatever pleasure I had
foregone in the part as a result of
my habits In that particular, be
cause my sufferings would certain

I have met a very intelligent young
man who seems interested in me and
has asked permission to call at my
home. I consented, but am at a loss
to know how to entertain him In my
present circumstances, as mentioned
above - "
IDA G.
Don't be frightened about "entertain
ing" this young man. He probably
likes you for your sweetness, mod
esty and fine character. Don't make
any efforts to impress htm or strug
gle to find things to talk about. In
steady make a little study of him.
Find out what his interests are, what
work he is doing and see if he Isn't
lonely and at a loss, just as you are.
Try to give him friendship and un
derstanding and sympathy, and let
him talk to you. Probably he will en
joy expressing himself Just as much
if not more than he would enjoy hear
ing you express yourself. Men like to
talk about themselves —let him do It. 1
The Potatoes in the
Revolutionary War
During the Revolutionary war,
General Francis Marion was one of
the bravest fighters on the American
side. He and his soldiers lived in the
thick forests of South Carolina.
The story is told that one day an
English general sent a young soldier
out to find General Marion and de
liver to him a message. The mes
senger found the general and his
men about to eat their supper and he
was asked to join them.
When the plates were passed, they
proved to be huge chips cut from a
large tree near the eampfire. The
English soldier locked these
strange plates and began to wonder
what the food would be.
Soon a soldier appeared with some
smoking-liot potatoes taken from
the ashes of the eampfire. The
English ribldier thought he had never
eaten anything more dclicidus than
those baked potatoes and a little
later as they all sat around watch
ing the plates burn in the glowing
fire. General Marion said to the En
glishman. "You now see what we
Americans have to eat here in the
woods. But just as long as we have
potatoes, so long will we continue to
fight for our country."
American soldiers are now fight
ing by the side of the English sol
diers. In modern warfare, there is
no need to eat from wooden chips.
But there is need for plenty of nour
ishing food for the soldiers. The po
tato crops of Europe are diminished
and it is not practicable to ship so
bulky and perishable a food from
America.
The answer to this is that Amer
ica must eat more potatoes and send
that much more wheat to the boys
at the front. One good-sized baked
potato will equal in nourishment a
slice and three-quarters of wheat
bread. No patriotic American will
hesitate to put into constant prac
tice this litle service for his coun-
