AGED WOMAN KILLED BY AUTO Mrs. Rebecca Payne, age 75 years, was run down Monday evening at Seventh street and New Jersey avenue and killed. She and her son of 661 Winona avenue were crossing the street at that point, her son being a little ahead of his mother, when the car driven by Harold L. Simpson, 801 Garfield avenue, swooped down on the aged victim, striking her with great force, throwing her way up in the air and killing her instantly. The rear wheel of the car ran over one of the feet of the son, but not hurting him but slightly. Mrs. Payne's home was in Ottawa, but she had been living here for more than a year, having a son and daughter and daughter-in-law living here. The remains were taken to Ottawa for interment. The driver, Simpson, was released on $1,000 bond. His trial will come up next week, charged with careless driving. MRS. ANDREWS AT REST. The funeral of Mrs. Anna Andrews was held at Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Monday, February 26th. Quite a number attended. Resolutions were read from the choir and Newcomers' Club and B. Y. P. U. The Senior choir sang, and Pastor Bronson gave a consoling sermon. She was an energetic member of this church and left a husband, three children, a sister, a mother and many friends, who miss her and grieve for her. FIRST A. M. Will B. MME. SADYE COCH Lyric Soprano Assisted by Fat Resitol at First SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 LEWIS SCHOOL Conferred Honor on Living and Unveiled the Picture of Prof. J. J. Lewis. The P.-T. A. of Lewis school met to pay homage to the worthy character for whom the school was named and surpirsed him by unveiling his enlarged picture, the work of Mr. O. J. Brooks, an expert artist. The work was decided by all to be a masterpiece of art and surpassed the expectations of all. Mrs. Clara Ross, the president of Lewis circle, presided and the following program was rendered: Flag drill, historical cantata, and presentation speech of Prof. Lewis' picture, ending with a splendid poem written by Mrs. Matthews, so fitting for the occasion, delivered by a pupil of Mrs. Guest, the teacher of Lewis school, who demonstrated through the children her untiring efforts. Mr. Scruggs and Mr. Canon, expupils of Prof. Lewis, gave reminiscences of school days and praised their ex-instructor hirsly. The artist, O. J. Brooks; Mr. Fulbright, president of Forum; Mrs. Dwiggins, president of Federated P.T. A.; Mr. White and others each paid great tribute to Prof. Lewis and complimented step taken by the patrons of Lewis school in placing the picture of this worthy Christian educator and gentleman upon the wall, as they felt it would serve as an incentive to the youth. Prof. Lewis, vice-principal of Sumner high and oldest teacher in the city in point of service, made the speech of his life, fairly swaying the audience with his eloquence. Out of the deep recesses of his heart came words of real appreciation and he impressed all greatly when he said: "If I am all you have said I am and I have no reason to doubt, as I have tried to live the life, then if all you say is true, I have not lived my life in vain." Mrs. Lewis was present and joined her husband in thanking the friends. The success of the meeting and good accomplished was complete and highly beneficial. Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Freelain, the competent, splendid leaders of Lewis circle. Mrs. Freelain gave a history of school work and reported nine years attendance, missing only three meetings. These two ladies and co-workers deserve the highest commendation for the splendid service and worthy steps taken. The only regret was that the illness of Prof. Neely prevented him from being present. A two-course lunch was served all at conclusion of the program. Mrs. Irene Jefferson, 411 Oakland avenue, has been confined to the house, with illness. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, CAGO, SPEAKER A. M.

WIFE MURDERER ON GEORGIA AVENUE WILLIAM LEWIS KILLS WIFE IN ALTERCATION—SHE DIES AT DOUGLASS HOSPITAL Willie Lewis, colored, 60 years old, shot and killed his wife, Mollie Lewis, late Wednesday, following an altercation between the two. The shooting occurred in the yard back of their home, 707 Georgia avenue. Lewis fled. The woman died in Douglass hospital. A CALL MEETING. There will be a call meeting of the League, Friday evening. Matters of interest will be considered; among them will be further action on the matter of the community house, brutal treatment of persons arrested by police officers, together with a statement from a gentleman who aspires to be assessor for the city. A good attendance is desired and expected, as there are other matters also which are demanding immediate attention. Gentlemen and brothers in the struggle, read and observe what is being done and performed daily, in order that our community may be kept in good shape as a "going concern." And then look for and try to find out how much we are doing in the premises. I am inclined to think that—if we would make such a survey—we would become decidedly more interested and would willingly give time and attention to matters which we now are grossly neglecting. I. F. BRADLEY, President. A WASHINGTON TEA PARTY. The Willing and Ready to Do Club gave a Washington tea party February 22 at the residence of Mrs. Moss, 337 Sanford avenue. The guests were highly entertained with a patriotic program, consisting of music and papers on Washington, after which a delicious lunch was served. Hot tea with lemon, cherry pie and salted peanuts. As there were many visitors present, the president, Mrs. B. Falls, extended an invitation for new members. Mrs. L. Williams was so pleased with the nature of the club she gladly accepted and became a members. Many others promised to cast their lot later. There were twenty-one present. Mrs. Wood, 712 New Jersey avenue, is ill. Her friends will be pleased to see her out. ADVOCATE PICTURE MEMORY TROPHY AWARDED ATTUCKS SCHOOL The picture memory contest prize was awarded Attucks sixth grade by Miss Lillian Bohl, supervisor of art, in the presence of members of the Federation of P.-T. A. Prof. Neely was unable to be present, but this grade in his group scored the highest in the contest and received $10, which will be used in purchasing picture for the school. Miss Bohl will assist in selecting the picture and, will present the buttons, a design of her own selection, to the winners of contest when the picture is placed in the school. An artist suggested to the school to place members of their own race on the walls and mentioned Cryspus Attucks, whose willing blood first dyed the crimson stripes of that banner which is the type of victory o'er field and flood.

Phone Fifield 3568J. RESULTS GUARANTEED 224 THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER FE AND FORK IN CH 27th A MAN OF WORTH. February 28th, 1924. Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a word to the Crafts of the York Masons of Kansas and its jurisdiction. There have been three grand masters of this jurisdiction to my knowing before Rev. J. A. Broadnax, the present grand master, became grand master, and when he became grand master the jurisdiction only included Kansas and since he became grand master he has extended the jurisdiction so that it now includes Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota and Minnesota. Rev. J. A. Broadnax is one of the best grand masters that is in the United States. He is up on Masonry in every way. There is not a man in the United States who understands the history of Masonry as he does. He is fair in all his dealings with the Crafts, truthful and honest in every way and a man like him ought to be the leader of the York Masons of this jurisdiction until he is called by the Most Exalted Grand Master of the Universe to come up into the Grand Lodge above. When he became grand master there was not any money in the grand treasury to pay any of the widows upon the death of their husbands and today the grand lodge is able to pay off all widows at once and wait for others to die. The national grand lodge is expected to meet here in October and I was just wondering that if the Great Head of the Universe were to call Grand Master J. A. Broadnax from labor to refreshment, who would be able in every respect to take his place and lead the Craft to success as he has done and is still doing, and I don't know one who is able to take his place. I know that there are many who would like to have his place as grand master for self aggrandizement but not for the benefit of the Craft. If there ever was a time when the hearts of humanity are made glad it is when persons divided by time and tide are again thrown together in a cause common in interest to them. When occasion causes hearts to blend together for mutual aggrandizement and when the hand of one is clasped in the embrace of the other, kindred feelings are inexpressible, a balm of Gilead like oil upon troubled waters soothes the ravishes of time and the bleakness of surroundings. Dr. N. S. Jenkins, D. D. N. G. M. Rev. M. W. Dickerson, G. J. Mrs. C. E. Brooks, wife of Rev. Brooks, is one of the new additions to the Junior choir of First A. M. E. church. Mrs. Brooks has a soprano voice. --- Number 28 J. O. MIDNIGHT BASKING IN THE SUNNY CLIMES OF FLORIDA Visits Beautiful Winter Home of Mr. Herndon Orlando, Florida, Feb. 28.—I am trying to take an inventory of myself today to find out just where I am and I am sure that you will pray while I do this that I may not find myself at the stepping off place, and if I should then there will be one more big funeral in this country, and when I go in I am not coming out any more, but will remain in heaven the rest of my days. Just as I came through Atlanta, or Savannah, Ga., returning from Atlanta, the Rev. Dr. L. P. Pinckney of Augusta stepped on the chariot and rode into glory. He was away from home visiting a church, and death called for him and would not allow him to return to the dear ones at home, but had to go right on to the Great Beyond. I am not able to tell you much about it, except, that he was one of the leading preachers in Georgia and was at the first session of the National Baptist Convention in Los Angeles, California. I had a great big time in Atlanta among friends, but it is hard to tell just where I did stop, but I was there just the same and all the people knew that I was there. I was supposed to stop at Morehouse college, with all the educated people, but listen until I tell you that the room was so near up to heaven that I only made it up there one night. High kicking and high climbing are two things I must not do much of now for it will start the bugs to bugging, and I am to keep them down. I had the pleasure of seeing the Rev. Dr. D. W. Cannon every day while I was there and all his talk was Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress in Cleveland, and he is getting ready for it. He declares that it is going to be one of the greatest meetings ever held in the country and I believe that he knows what he is talking about, and everywhere I go I hear young people and others talking about getting ready to go to the Congress in Cleveland, and they are asking for their stopping place, and some of our people have moved there and they are going to receive their friends when they homoligate. The experts are getting in trim, and you will hear more about reaching the young people, reaching the unreached and doing good. They are trying to beat the devil to the young minds, and I hope that there will be nothing but success. Dr. Cannon has his whole life in this matter and he is going to make a home run. Let us all help to make it all that it should be and a little more. The future of America depends on the young people of today, and the next future will depend on their children, and on and on the world goes. What part are you playing? I told you in that other letter that I was in company with men of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Men who are aspiring for themselves and for others. It is a church of inspiration and aspiration, and they are getting ready for a general conference to be held in Louisville, Ky. I am of the opinion that the men who will be fortunate enough to get put up will declare it to be the greatest general conference in the history of the church. Dr. John A. Gregg of Wilberforce—in fact the president of Wilberforce University—will walk to the tune of a bishop and I am of the opinion that he will be followed by Dr. A. A. J. Wilson of Wilmington, N. C., and I think it is high time that North Carolina had some recognition along that line. Dr. Wilson is one of the strongest and best men in the church. He has not made much fuss about it, but he is a scholar, a thinker and a leader of men. By work he has (Continued on Page 4.) : 7 So Reeve watt $2h nye Oe eS ae eT ee + ce attaias eee ~~ “stag pat ends! hte marta dt Pty he ha Paaed er Sint hd ne ae sh de gy FE Sn oe doe cote aay don weet tee Oy tna Spent hth oy adie AE a EERE PDR: Ce GE Ae Oe aes dak aie A Rai tees Coa oc Mates eek TT cin ei eel ota Did Re ed seed a le eis SPER ANG? eats Fis SGN Ty iit A So athe Mes are ee hs ala SA ae A Ge PT a Sy Care ce he RS md Sy TO SETS tc TC ah RNR PRL RNS SPOR AD.

CONSOLATION. Emphasizing his abhorrence for class favoritism or class persecution, President Coolidge, while addressing the National Republican Club, at its Lincoln’s Birthday session in New York, gave utterance to a creed as lofty as the Alps and as firm as Gibraltar. He pointedly announced ‘his personal disdain for any activity which aimed to crush by name rather than by character, and, on the other hand, he eschewed any inclination to protect the name when the char- acter was of ill repute. Such a ereed is good enough for any ‘American, wherever he may be and whatever he may represent. But to America’s colored populace, the renewed announcement by President Coolidge of these principles of jus- tice and equality has come as a timely consolation. It will stimulate their patriotism and strengthen their constancy to the great national com- monwealth. It will awaken strong counter currents of thought, which will invade the illusioned minds of those who are the victims of mob psychology. And to those who would maliciously persist in disseminating principles of inequality to America’s citizenry, simply because of race dis- tinctions, it will serve as a recol- lection that Right and Justice are destined to prevail in the end. The consolation is a satisfying one, and the inferences which it creates are as plain as the midday sun. Upon them do we build our hopes; for, like Pzesident Coolidge, we too believe that “He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep,” and we know that “Our Redeemer Liv- eth.” + Rev. C. M. Tanner, D. D., pastor of Greater Bethel A. M. E. church of Chicago and one of the connec- tion’s great preachers and financiers, is a candidate for bishop at the coming General Conference in May at Louisville, Ky. Dr. Tanner is well qualified for the bench and if elected will add strength and dignity to the office, He has put over in Chicago one of the biggest things for the church that has ever been accom- plished by any man of the church or probably any other churchman. H. R. Baranco of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a prominent layman of the A, M. E. church, is seeking the office of secretary of the Sabbath School Union, located at Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Baranco has been hon- ored by his conference as a lay dele- gate to the General Conference and says he is coming to Louisville ir May with a large number of sup- porters from all over the connectior for the office. He is Grand Patron of Eureka Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star of the state of Louisi- ana and is recognized as one of the leading laymen of his state. ROOMS FOR RENT.

The world is better because Christ has established His church here.” It was a good sermon. At 8 p. m. Rev. Ross, our state missionary, preached to a large con- gregation. After Miss C. Payne played a voluntary and the Junior choir sang, Rev. Ross led the con- gregation in a hymn, and took for his text, “Faith, what it is, and what it does,” and gave references from Matt. 15:28; Heb. 11:16, and Mark 11:16. He preached a wonder- ful sermon, which caused the Holy Spirit to be manifested. At its close, Pastor Bronson extended the invita- tion and three joined. He also praised the missionary’s sermon. Dr. Ross, in an after talk, said there are 131 Baptist churches in Kansas and 3,900,000 in the National Bap- tist Convention. The financial budget for Kansas is $10,000; for Kansas City, Kansas, $3,000, and for Metro- politan church it is $300.

Russian Chemist Makes Strong Wire From Salt A wonderful discovery has been made by a Russian sclentist, who cltims to have found a method of mak- Ing wire stronger than steel out of common rock salt, His discovery Is the result of a serles of extraordinary experiments in the mutability of metals by structural chemistry. The scientist found that by submit- ting the rock salt to high heat pres- sure before the elementary crystals be- gan to decay he arrested the decay by changing the structural arrangement of the atoms and molecules, and this change increased the durability ond ductility of the substance 300 times, says London Tit-Bits, He is continu- ing his experiments with other metal substances. If this discovery can be applied to metals {t will revolutionize the world. It will mean, amongst’ other things, trains capable of running at 200 miles an hour and turbine steamers that could reach Australia In ten days. Greater Minds in Future The science of psychology (the study of the mind), which has devel- oped greatly in recent years, will rev- -olutionize the methods of education ‘within fifty years so that the great brain power now latent In most mod- erng will be brought out and utilized by our clilldren, predicts Prof. Henry P, Shearman of Miam! university, Ox- ford, 0. “In most men,” safd Professor Shear- man, “there Ie reserves of energy sel- dom, if ever, drawn on, In rare cases —a catastrophe, an unexpected re- sponsibility or the impact of a great fdea—sets off these latent powers and some man rises to heights of ac- complishments he never before dreamed possible. “Within the next fifty years the ef- fects of the new psychology will have made Itself so definitely felt that our whole system of education will have changed.”—Detrolt News. No Chance for the Bandits An armored motor car, in which an imaginary paymaster and two imag- tary assistants were passengers, was peppered with .45-caliber bullets at Otsego and Lorraine streets, Brooklyn, the other afternoon. Several police- men were In the vicinlty, but none made a move, for the three bandits who fired at the car were imaginary, too. ‘The shooting was arranged as a test for an armored motor car designed for use in transporting large sums of money from banks to business houses. ‘The bullets had no effect, even the glass windows being bullet proof. ‘The car Is equipped with two tanks, containing tear gas and sneezing gas, If bandits should force the chauffeur to stop they would be gassed as they approached the car, Time to Move A woman with a very bad cold at- tended a dinner and, although she had @ poor appetite on this occasion, she was pressed to have some food. “Oh, dol” they said for the tenth time. “I couldn't, she replied. “I couldn't possibly eat any more.” They continued to press her to eat this dish and that, and at last she ‘said: “Oh, very well; if I bust, I bust.” Lobster Discards Its Shell Ouite Freauently Few living creatures hsive such strik- ing habits ns the lobster. It begins to molt or discard its outgrown clothes “the second day after batching, and continues to do so with increasing fre- quency until it has ceased to grow at all. ‘When the old shell becomes too small @ new skin begins to grow underneath it. When this growth nears completion the lobster becomes a “shedder,” ready to cast off not only its old shell, but even the lining of its esophagus, stom- ach and Intestines, Restless and uneasy as the molt ap- proaches, there comes a break where the tall Joins the shell. The lobster then turns over on its side, bends itself at the shape of a “V,” with the break at the apex. Pressure Is applied, and gradually the rear end of the old shell breaks loose from the one be- neath. Step by step the process of liberating the Imprisoned body from Its out-grown armor sweeps forward. until finally the claws are withdrawn through the narrow openings, Pres- ently, with a mighty effort, the lob- ster emerges from Its coat of mail, casts off the Mnings of its digestive tract and steps out, full-panoplied in a soft new shell—Geographic Maga- zine, Owners of Coffee Rooms Thrown Into the Sea ‘ Coffee came first out of Arabla and Abyssinia, according to the best infor mation available. The first reference to It in Mterature was made by Avicen- ba, a Mohammedan physician, who died In 1037. “It fortifies the members,” he wrote; “It cleanses the skin and dries up the humidities that are under it and gives an excellent smell to all the body.” ‘The “kaveh kanes” of Mecca were the first coffee houses. Kair Bey, the governor, discovered that those who met In the coffee houses discussed poll- tics and religion, sometimes critically. So he ordered the kaveh kanes closed. ‘The sultan at Cairo disapproved of the governor's indiscreet zeal and had him executed. . But {n Constantinople, where plots against the oppressive government were hatched over the coffee, the pub- lie houses were closed and reopening meant that the proprietor was sewed In a sack and thrown into the Bos- porus—Detroit News, 9 Lone Hike on Siilts ‘The people of the department of Landres, in France, mostly farmers and shepherds, spend the greater part of their Ives on stilts, owing to the dampness of the soll and continuous floods. Naturally they become experts In their use. ‘The stilts are strapped below the knees, the fect being fas- teved in a kind of stirrup raised five feet trom the ground. A pole, which the stilt walker carries in place of the ordinary walking stick, serves as 2 rest, the user propping himself against it when halting, The women of the district are as skillful as the men in the use of stilts, and a courting couple striding off to thelr trysting place on stilts is a common sight. A famous stilt walker of the district, Silvain Dornon, a baker, walked on stilts from Paris to Moscow, a distance of 1,580 mulles, in 58 days, Good Intentions ~- Some boys were playing football as a lady drove by in a high-powered car. ‘The ball fell In the road and she care- fully drove around it, so as to avold running over it, slowing down as she did so.

Reverdy C. Ransom, who is about to make a home run, and Dr. George B. Young of Texas is getting ready for the race, and he is one more good man, and will add much to the bench when placed thereon. He will have Texas behind him, and should win. When the delegates are writing names on their ballots, I would have them place thereon the name of Dr. W. H. Thomas of Denver, who is indeed a worthy and good man. He is one of the ripest scholars of the age, and a leader of men. But then I am not to talk about all the scholars and able men in the A. M. E. church this week, for I have some other things to say to you. I have been to Jacksonville, Fla., to St. Augustine, Fla., and P. O. Box 725, St. Augustine, is where I will be getting my mail all of the month of March which will be here when you read this letter. It comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion, is what the people say about it, and it is a month that takes away many people with the T. B. I had the pleasure of going to my headquarters and was accompanied by Dr. Robert J. Brown and Df. L. G. Jordan. The night was spent in the home of Dr. H. Y. Tooks, and all of Florida is with him in putting over Dr. R. A. Grant of Jacksonville, the able scholar and leader. I shall have more to tell you about Dr. Grant in one of my other letters. In company with Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst and Dr. S. S. Morris, I left Jacksonville at noon Tuesday for this place, and we used that fast train on the Seaboard Air Line, and it is some get there train, believe me, honey. Reaching town, found the Rev. Dr. H. K. Hill awaiting my arrival in his automobile car carriage, and toted me to his home, assuring me it was a pleasure to have me stop with him during my stay in town. I am here attending the South Florida conference, presided over by that leader of men, and he who has accomplished so much for the race and his church, Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, Maryland. He has made almost a new African Methodist Episcopal church in Florida, and the men are not like they used to be, instead of having each other by the throat as was once the case in Florida, under Bishop Hurst, they walk hand in hand singing, "Behold how good it is for brethren to dwell together in unity," and that is exactly what they are doing. Florida has been turned into just one happy family, so far as African Methodists are concerned and Bishop John Hurst and Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst represent the father and mother. They are the parents, and they are honored and loved by all, except here and there will rise up some fellow who thinks he should be on the throne, but he soon fades away, for the men are determined to succeed. Just think of it, this conference has gone about six hundred dollars over the previous year, and they are singing the song of victory. They will march into the general conference with about sixty sons of Allen, and the daughters will go along to keep their company, and they are going to make the world know they live and that they are doing business in Florida. I am sure you have heard about Rev. H. S. Sims of Texas. He is determined to make a chase for the financial secretaryship, and being an African Methodist, it is his rights to do this. You see there is one thing about the church, every minister has something to aspire for, and that is also an inspiration to the youth. You can start from sexton and work up to bishop, if you will just keep in touch with God and let Him use you. I was just thinking about the men who have made it, and are still making it. I have in mind right now, the Rev. S. J. Johnson, D. D., of San Antonio, Texas, who is to succeed Dr. B. F. Watson as secretary of the Church Extension Society. Think of his starting point and see where he is now. FLYING CHAP Scorn is the antidote for Easy street never escape I have been out to the summer home, and I mean the Florida summer of the Herndons, and it is a peach, believe me. I am sure you know Mr. Herndon, for he is from Atlanta, and has been well blessed with the Lord's goods. He was thrifty and knew how to save, and now he has a fine modern home way out in the country, at a place known as Lane's Park, and it should be Park Beautiful. Dr. George Cleveland Hall is spending his summer down here right now, and basking in the Florida sunshine. He has been sick and is just here getting back his health, eating fruit, fishing and doing many other things that will take business and the sick off of his mind. I went out there to consult him about the bugs which are biting and wanting me to consign my body to the worms, but Dr. Hall just listened to what they say and informs them that they are lying and he will meet them on the cross road. He is a wonderful man and I don't mind telling you all this. But here I am about to write too much. I will not be able to tell you about the young whale which Dr. Hall pulled in the other day. He is just some fellow when it comes to catching fish. He is the best in the Herndon family, and I wish you could hear him crow on his wonderfulness in fishing. I have a letter stating that the Race Congress will be held in Wilmington the last few days in April and the first few days in May. This is a meeting that should be attended by us all, and this is the year that we should get together to look after our own racial interest. We must not be fooled by politicians, and then we must be able to make a clean, clear front. I will tell you more about it later. J. O. MIDNIGHT. KING AND QUEEN CONTEST The "King and Queen Contest" between the men and women of Trinity A. M. E. church, at the corner of Fourth street and Stewart avenue, is waxing warm right through here. The women of the church hold the distinction and honor of never being beaten, but the men at this time are leading and they argue the question, there is a first time and every thing and this is the first time for the men when the tape is crossed for the men to lead. AGENTS WANTED-Three good colored agents wanted. Apply between 5 p. m. and 8 p. m., 1810 North 5th street, (Branson Barber Shop.) FLYING CHAFF Scorn is the antidote for insult. Easy street never escapes taxation. An expert is sometimes riding for a fall. A dollar goes a long way when it has to. Words are merely the echoes of thought. The sea horse is fast going out of existence. One minute today is worth an hour tomorrow. In a crisis, philosophy can become desperation. A grafter by any other name would still be a thief. Isn't it plitiful to make indignation one's life-work? Many a man leads the simple life—behind the bars. Few dreams are pleasant, but nearly all are foolish. Agree with people once in a while and surprise them. One taste of success is better than a mouthful of defeat. There are always enough mysteries to spur curiosity. Sharp tongues are apt to be more dangerous than useful. A man is seldom in undue haste to take up an overdue note. Science has one joy. Its field of discovery is interminable. Sometimes an officeholder has more of a pull than a dentist. All the romance some children get is the names given them. After hesitating a man often finds that it is too late to act. We like our friends to be perfectly frank—about themselves. You will never find cause for gratitude if you cause none. Many a man loses out in trying to take a short cut to success. Beware of the widow who acts as though she were glad of it. Many a man's conscience is more elastic than his suspenders. Even stupidity that poses as dignity is sometimes admirable. The demand for sincerity is far in excess of the visible supply. Some people get excited even when they are talking about nothing. The first steps for divorce are sometimes taken at a dancing school. Men can be so polite that you don't dare to slap them on the back. Lots of people who want to be forgiven don't want to be forgotten. A thoroughbred dog rarely shows it when he is among other dogs. To lighten a man's burden may require as much tact as good will. A good crop of wild oats will grow where weeds wouldn't even sprout. Matrimony is a paying institution—for ministers and divorce lawyers. Better not pry into all the mysteries. Some of them are horrors. The way of the transgressor may be hard, but it is never lonesome. Few men are afraid of the devil. It is themselves they are afraid of. The average American citizen is willing to die for his country—in office. If a woman's "No" means "Yes" what does her "I don't know" mean? But the more a man knows the less he has to say about his knowledge. By L. F. Van Zelm © Western Newspaper USA Dr. M. D. S.
