Oh, Lord, please give us all a sense of humor in these trying times! Help us to meet our daily trials smilinglyt For truly, a sense of humor is the front and rear bumper, the balloon tires, and likewise the shock absorbers on the motor car of life. Without it we must shake to pieces in times like these.

In times like these the oft-quoted words of Rudyard Kipling come to mind: "It ain't the individual, or the arrny as a whole, but the everlastin' teamwork, of every bloomin' soul."

And it was that same gifted Englishman who wrote this incomparable thing on cooperation: F or this is the law of the jungle, It's as old and as true as the sk5r, And the wolf that shall keep it wiu prosper, And the wolf that shall break it-must die; As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, The law runneth forward and back, That the strength of the pack, is the wolf, And the strength of the wolf, is the pack. rf**

And here is the glittering remark that Louis the Fifteenth, of F'rance, made about coffe+-and life. He said: "What would life be without coffee? But then, what is life, even with coffee?" Something of a cynic this Louis, eh?

The biggest change that has come to that awful thing called war, is the speed with which the news travels. Countless millions of Americans sit at home every night and listen to men in England tell of events in the war that happened within the hour. It was not always thus. Take the War oL l8l2 in this country. The biggest event of the war was the Battle of New Orleans, which took place

January 8, 1815. But the Peace of Ghent, which officially ended that war, had been signed on December 24, tBl4, two weeks before. News traveled slowly in t'hose days. tt*rl

And speaking of wars, April is the fatal month, so far as the United States is concerned. The Revolutionary War started April 19, 1775. The Civil War started April 12, 1861. The Spanish-American War started April 25, 1898. And the World War-the I'IRST one-America entered on April 6, t917. Historians will watch affairs of this nation in April with some small degree of superstition. ,Ft*

Ever read "Hiawatha Harrigan"? It goes like this, and you'll probably clip it: He killed the noble mudjokivis, Of the skin he made him mittens, Made them with the fur side inside, Made them with the skin side outside; Put the inside skinside outside; He, to get the cold side outside Put the warrn side fur side inside. That's why he put the fur side inside, Why he put the skin side outside, Why he turned them inside outside. No, I don't know the author.

And then, of course, ;";"";e young lady who said to the young s1411-"ps1't you love driving on a night like this?"--and there was the same young man who answered -"!gs, but I thought I'd wait till we got farther out of town.t'
