bombs, the instrument of naval
warfare which, in the hands of
the United States navy, has re-
sulted in cutting down U-boat
sinkings by, more than half, will

features of the combined govern-
ment naval, military, agricultur-
al and industral exhibits to be
shown in a special building at the

sition here from September 21 to

Those Oklahomans. also, who

to distinguish between a major-,
general and a lieutenant-eobnel,
will learn how easy it is to iden-
tify any officer of the army or
navy by his sleeve, collar or
shoulder insignia. A complete
display of insignia and chevrons,
including the new wound and
service chevrons, will be shown.
, Not the least interesting of

and has many friends and it WhRt about the m.in who
dwarfs and stunts the human
soul possibly more than all
others. Who has not seen the
man, full of personal faults and
failings, but whom his neighbors
idolized because he was big-heart-
ed and generous? None deny his
failings nor fall to deprerate
them. It is simply that the great
curse of selfishness has ilim nat-
ed from his life, and this over-
shadows all else. Beside him the
little, narrow, selfish nature,
whatever itsotht r virtues maybe
assumes the proportion of a
dwarf.
Then t here is the matter of
charitableness. Who does not
know the man of harsh judg-
ment? Perhaps he has all the
negative virtues and many of the
positive one's, too. His personal
life may be faultless. But his
harsh judgments of his neighbors
obscure all these, and whereas
his virtues should inspire respect
and love, in reality they inspire
hatred and contempt. Contrast
him with the faulty, though
charitable man, and he, too,
suffers in comparison.
