I 5 1 ON THINKING GLAD. Never mind a change of scene— Try a change of thinking. What if things seem sordid, mean, What's the use of blinking? Life's not always storm and cloud, Somewhere stars are shining, Try to think your Joys out loud, Silence all repining. By degrees, by thinking light, Thinking glad and sweetly, Tou'll escape the stress of night. Worry gone completely. Get the habit looking for Sunbeams pirouetting, Tapping gaily at your door— Surest cure for fretting. Needn't fool yourself at all For there's no denying K'en above a prison wall Song birds are a-flylng. „v Wherefore harken to the aong, N«rer mind pie prison, And youH find your soul, ere lone, Unto freedom risen. ftftft. 38 &<%• &PZI'"" Svs: Monday is/w^ mks dancing party in their 'club -house.

JAPAN HAS EIYE ON THE PHILIPPINES Senator Predicts Speedy Invasion if United States Withdraws from islands. [United Press Leased Wire Service.] WASHINGTON, Jan. S —Should the Philippines be left to themselvps by the United States, they would bo speedily dominated by the .! ipnne«e, Senator Sterling of South I.Mkota pro phesied this afternoon in the Philip pine bill debate. "First," he said, "would come com mercial occupation. There would be colonization of Japanese agricultural ists and merchants, Japanese capital would pour in and Japanese ships would carry the commerce of the islands. "Perhaps it might be long before actual political conquest was attempt ed. But so rich a territory, and an opportunity of fine land for their growing population would not long b§ neglected." Senator Shafroth of Colorado, deny ing the prediction, pointed out there are only 3,000 Japanese in the islands now as against 60,000 Chinamen and many other foreigners. He said the tropical climate of the islands was not suitable for the Japanese. Senator Sherman or Illinois, joined the Sterling attack with the forecast that if independence were granted Aguinaldo soon would be a presiden tial candidate, "as are most members of this senate." iiifc tL ££$• V-.
