THINKING ON FOOT.
Many a parent of a boy—and
even more parents, of girls--says,
“My child will never be a preacher
lior a lawyer nor a professional pol
itician nor yet an actor —why should
he learn to speak in public?” Many
a boy—and girl—offers that as ex
cuse for failure to improve the
school term time for cultivating the
art of declamation and oratory.
Many aboy in college years ago took
advantage of every excuse and when
there wus none made one to evade
the rule which required that once a
month he should “declaim" and
about so often take part, as a mem
ber of the appointed team, in the
stated debates. Now he is almost
every week or every month called
upon to make remarks to groups or
larger audiences and he feels at ease
—or flings away the oportunity with
its responsibility, because he can
not talk while on his feet facing a
crowd. This is a day of much talk;
there is always a great deal of talk
ing—after the initial thinking is
done and while it is being project
ed—before enterprises, particularly
of a community and civic nature are
set going.
Practically all the civic movements
are carried forward by the cooper
ative planning—and talking—of or
ganizations which must have presid
ing officers and must have speaking,
formal or informal. The boards of
directors of corporations have a deal
of talking—business talking; the
chambers of commerce and the
boards of trade must have speakers
for every tweeting, speakers who
have something,, to say, clearly, logi
cally, effectively said; the day is one,
of luncheon clubs which are doing,
groundwork for m\ich of. ,the pro r
greys an<? , yiese roust have speakers
from among their number. It is nev
er well for the talking to be con
tiered by a handful of professional
men or professional talkers. The
luncheon clubs have developed in
the past few years many effective
talkers—men who a little while ago
could not “speak in public from the
stage” even of a luncheon room—
•who can upon occasion without spe
cial preparation get up and. say
things to thq point, think rapidly
and clearly, in the presence of a
crowd, and put over an idea or a
suggestion with fair ease and good
effect—but" for many th<-s achieve

LEVIATHAN AN ELEPHANT.
It is a fact freely admitted by all
shipping interests that the only merit
of a super-ship of the Leviathan class
is its value as a publicity magnet.
Indeed, it is questioned by some con
servative lines whether its advertising
value is sufficient recompense for the
severe financial losses its operation
entails.
Evidence has been introduced be
fore a congressional committee to
show the net trip losses of the Le
viathan in the past year have been
approximately $79,000. This would
ordinarily be a remarkable record, in
view of the fact that the vessel did
not go into service until July 4 and
made only eight round trips, were it
not also true that examination shows
no evidence of charges for deprecia
tion and insurance, for repairs of
damage suffered in the grounding of
the ship in New York harbor last
fall, or for care of the ship whilse
she had been laid up in recent
months. Doubtless, an accurate ap
praisal of the cost of maintenance
with those items included will dis
close that the losses incurred by the
board in keeping the vessel in opera
tion are about as large as those suf
fered by private lines with similar
3hips on their hands.
There is no’question that the Levia
than and other ships of her bulk are
economic weights. If the Leviathan
:an be proved to have a considerable
advertising value, its maintenance in
service may be justified. However,
■as a simple economic proposition un
influenced by other considerations,
the. ships which make money for an£
line are those of medium size which
afford every necessary comfort found
in larger ships and extend every rea
sonable, service.

Time To Look Facts in the Face
Two outstanding difdosuros that comes as a result of
the recent naval maneuvers ; nd which should command seri
ous thought from the American people are, first, that the
Panama Canal cannot withstand assault; and, second, the
statement of Rear Admiral Plunkett, Commandant of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, that if our battle fleet were ordered
to the Philippines it would be able to get there but that it
could not operate or get back home again unless some friendly
nation sold to this government enough fuel to enable the
ships to move.
This statement, the Admiral explained, is not a theory,
but a condition demonstrated by events leading up to the
battle of Manila when only the fact that a British coal-laden
ship was purchased saved the day for Uncle Sam.
There is something wrong somewhere when this coun
try must depend upon the friendship of any foreign nation
for its naval operation. Friendship between nations hangs
on a thread even thinner than that which binds the indi
vidual relationship. It is always taut and ready to snap.
Indeed recent exhibitions demonstrating that the stern grim
power behind the call of the dollar made a blind man see that
even noblesse oblige is no more existant.
This background throws into bold relief our situation
in reference to American merchant marine. If we must
look forward to future wars then the demand for a power
ful merchant marine is imperative to our safety. If on the
other hand we may look forward to the elimination of war
then our prosperity and development will be measured largely
by our position on the seas.
It is a peculiar fact that America can find the money
to finance other nations which in turn use our money to
develop their shipping power, but that when it comes to the
production of money for the development of American ships
upon the sea the purse strings are pulled tight.
In the light of present events the words of Admiral
Benson uttered when he was in charge of the United States
Shipping Board are almost prophetic. Benson said that
putting the American flag back upon the seas was depend
ent on the understanding of the farmer. His programme
of enlightenment was rudely shattered, and in the whirligig
of political scramble which followed his retirement, the
spades were stuck deep v into the ground which formed the
foundation of American peace and safety. Perhaps it is
not yet too late to save ourselves maritime extinction.

“Ami now are there any questions?” asked the presiding officer

Which is one way of conducting a political meeting.

THE PROVING GROUND
Roughly speaking, people when
subjected to temptation fall into
three cla.-res: Those who are dis
tressed and humiliated that a wrong
thought has presented itself; those
who make no attempt to repulse
temptation and yield whenever cir
cumstances will permit; and those
who look with serenity on tempta
tions and regard them merely as
things to resist—as opportunities to
show stsrength and to develop
strength.
A fine old philosopher who lived
two thousand years ago tells us that
we should welcome temptation—
that it is a testing of ourselves.
It is encouraging to us if we can
regard our temptations as tests and
not as humiliating thoughts or evil
opportunities. Everyone has tempta
tions. A difference between the
moral man and the immoral man is
that the immoral man yields to his
temptations and the moral man does
not. We can no more prevent the ap
proach of temptations than we can
keep buzzards from flying over our
house or rats from approaching the
premises. But we do not need to let
the buzzards nest on our roofs, nor
do we need to entertain the rats.
There is a reason for temptation.
It is not a hit-and-miss matter due
to whims or analytical investiga
tion of a Supreme Power. The run
ning of the universe is a business
too stupendous for a mortal to com
prehend. Probably the Director Gen
eral of the universe needs a lot of
high grade slouls to help Him out.
Undoubtedly he has difficulty in
getting enough of the kind that can
measure up. The only way He can
find out whether those in this world
can qualify is by testing.
The point is that when tempta
tions ort ests are presented they
should be regarded as school exami
nations, and our objective should be
to get a one hundred per cent mark.
We should show a real under
standing of conditions and be better
able to meet a situation if, when a
temptation presents itself we should
smile knowingly and say, “Here is a
test.” And if it should be a big temp
tation, “Here is a supreme test.”
The main thing is to stand the
test.—Wickes Wamboldt.

Chewing Gam Aids Digestion
P.y C. Houston Goudiss
National Authority on Nutrition
Publisher of The Forecast—America's Leading Food Magazine
Everyone knows we are given to eating more than we
actually need, but when the table is heaped with good
food, “what’s a feller to c!o?”
Things are so tempting, and so palatable! Why not
enjoy them?
But many a heavy meal which is hugely enjoyed
during the process of eating is far from enjoyable dur
ing the process of digestion!
Then it is that chewing gum comes to the rescue.
Dr. W. A. Evans, former commissioner of health in
Chicago, says in his book, “How to Keep Well”:
“To chew gum after a meal aids digestion. Most
people do not chew their food long enough to mix
saliva with it thoroughly. The chewing of gum adds
some saliva to the stomach contents. It is of more
service in stimulating the stomach muscle. It is espe
cially serviceable in helping the stomach to empty its
contents. If one has overeaten and the stomach is
heavy something is gained by chewing gum for half an
hour, beginning two hours after eating.” And it also
helps to keep the teeth clean.
Chicle, the base of chewing gum, is the milky juice
which is secreted by the inner bark of a tropical tree
. Bleeding
known as the Achras Sapota.
Only during the rainy season are the trees “bled.”
After being refined and sterilized, the chicle Is mixed with sugar and
flavoring and moulded into the familiar form which has become so
popular.

taking one small strand at a time. ’ By
morning the gray hair disappears; Af
ter another application or two, its
natural color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you ap
pear years younger.

three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body’s urinous
waste, begin drinking water. \lsp get
