IS HAPPINESS If you want to be happy, you must learn how to busy yourself with unimportant things. This bit of advice compR from A. Edward Newton in a recent book, "This Dook Col lecting Game." Mr. Newton explains that by following it himself he has found happiness, and he cities instances of others who have done likewise. There was, for instanco, a clergyman who got interested in studying the natural his tory of his parish. He spent hours daily watching the birds, bats, frogs, squirrels, fishes and insects of the nearby coun tryside, and lived an exceedingly happy life. To be sure, he neglected his pastoral duties very badly, forgot to get mar-; thai portion of a turkeys anatomy . .. , . ji .1. mentioneo, ried and took no interest in the things that were going on ' in the world-4,ut, after all, he was happy. A philosophy I ZTZrX S like that hardly fits our American temper. From the day tn, chjmpn gawifars. Wait Ha thc first Pilgrim father stepped ashore on slippery, surf- sen "d johnny farreil. dig di. , , ,1 c 1 1. 1 , . , wots. The local enthuaiasta greatly splashed Plymouth Rock we have had scant use for any-,njoy,d th Khibition and aay thing but hard work, and plenty of it. Whether our own they win 0 glad when they git ancestors came from England or from Lithuania, we havejr,ch nouah ';he ;"ddl" t0 all been imbued with the American idea of "service" an ai joison socked a guy in the idea prevalent years before the luncheon clubs took it up. rd;unMll7ldn7Jn,,o; Probably that is one reason why so many foreign visitors those birda who are always gonna have gone home to report that "Americans do not seem ;'fno a eorrect lmiut",n happy they are too restless." It is largely true. We are born and bred to a tradition that says that an American's Th w.;,w5i ."J! , , , - wars lost yestlddy have been first duty is to find a job that will take every ounce or nu f0Und. They probiy got sore 'cause energy and ability. In the old days this was necessary.

The early settlers had to conquer ;per, Now betcna Cai blows a continent, and it was a tremendous job. They did it ihisseif and buys 'em one. of those and most of them never even had time to wonder whether they were as happy as they might have been. The pioneer days are over now, and we have more leisure. We can de vote ourselves to unimportant things if we want to and no body will be harmed. Yet there is small chance that any very great number of us will do it. For the old tradition still is strong and rightly so. We have left the old, physi cal frontier behind us only to reach new one. We have taken the puzzling, incomprehensible industrial age; which burst upon tho world with the invention of the steam en gine, and have undertaken to develop it to its logical conclu sion: Wc are still pioneering. So, probably, most of us will have to defer the business of devoting a lifetime to the search for happiness. It would be a fine thing to do but it just isn't in us. We are futed to bo hard workers. And it is our hope that out of this endless struggle and devotio.i to duty will flower, some day, a new era in which the chil dren of our children can hold fast to the happiness which we have not time to seek. o . i : : A sixth highway bridge in Douglas county has been' named after a pioneer woman Mrs. Esther Wells Smith and in this manner the county ' continues to pay dua Innor to those hardy women who by incessant toil and indomitable spirit aided their mates in carving homes out of a wilderness and carrying on essential activities, the while giving to posterity useful sons and daughters. Representing the progress of. industry and ma terial strength, these bridges are apt illustrations of the stout-hearted and hard-working women after whom they are named and whoso unremitting labors and devotion to duty contributed so greatly to the county's economic and so cial advancement, Mrs. Smith's accomplishment in operat ing a river ferry at Elkton for ten years after her hus band's death and rearing a family of children at the siune time is typical of the physical hardihood and maternal devo tion general among women of pioneer days. To honor ail such in the way that Mrs. Smith and five other ladies have been honored would require a great many more highway bridges than Douglas county now possesses and perhaps ever will possess. When a man i in d"ep rag, his actions are apt to move in decidedly unexpected and illogical directions..

ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW POEM FOR THE DAY By LOUIS ALUERT BANKS THE CALL A party of scientists will in nn effort to find a lust city of ot the unexplored Anqtmnn rivei, in central Brazil. The city, described by Indians, is said to hnve been unvisited by white men. kciics Dron;;lit out by Indians indicate that the city may hnve been founded by the ancient Phoenicians: the lonir nnd I dungerous trip of exploration and discovery will besin this win ter. The mere possibility of a Phoenician city in the Amazon country is sufficiently interesting; but even more important is the tact that the lirazilian country is still so rich a field for the explorer.
