I'll fv.a chance any day, on an uneducated man who enn TIllN'K rather thnn on 'rah-rah' product, whose thought works sluggish." This la the thought age. Time was when wo left our thinking, as we do the cobbling of our shoes and .. wklBg of our bans to others. That time is gone, gone for good, gone with our ghosts and hobgoblins, our II spirits Dni superstitions, our financial bugbears and spooky bogles. " People today know better. They have harnessed their gmy matter, they have set their rercbral wheels whirring, they no longer starve with bread In tholr mouths they THINK. More people than ever before are making their brains earn their lodging and Honswlvcs ttsed to potter, skimp and scold today tho domestic establish ment Is tun in terms of chemicals, calorics, economies, system nud puro food The soldier used to nwnlt tho word to chnrgc to kingdom come today he Is debating the pros and cons of a league to enforce peace. Sailors are pondering over sunken treasure and devices to rcmovo tho gold from sea water. Puddlers have risen abovo tho thrco-mcal-a-day level to thinking about microfarads and hotter electric blast furnaces. It Is only n few years since farmers eowed by the moon, reaped by the pace of God, lived and died in penury and want. The twentieth century agri culturist Is a pattern of Luther Burbank, who owns his runabout and a bank iccount, Is sclf-rospcctlng and respected. Most everybody's thinking the preacher and the listener, the schoolgirl tnil the schoolmarm, the merchant nn'd the manufacturer, the contractor and tfce laborer, tho executive and his stenographer from top to bottom, from side to side, throughout the length and breadth of humanity people are thinking thinking, not like the dentist who drilled away nt his patient's incisor while he himself grew dally more savage from n tingling molar hut thinking to better their condition, thinking to quit the rut, thinking to get out of the byways of life and get on to its highways. ' More peoplo aro thinking today, but people can think morn and still more of them can think. Tho most efficient mnn Is the man with an Idea ho thinks, he is the fittest, ind he l therefore, ordained to survive, which under modern conditions means to keep up, attain and enjoy. If you have little and you would have more THINK! and you may have much. P If you have much and you would hold what you have THINK! or you will soon have little. WHAT'S WHAT Tly IIKLKN DECIE DREAMLAND ADVENTURES "Bad Doctor Bat" By DADDY OltAlTEIl IV Tile Man In tho Cti GRAT BACK, tho rat, scurried through the cave as fast as ho could to Join Dr. Bat's party. Ho couldn't go as swiftly ns usual because Judgo Owl was hanging to his tall nnd being towed along behind. And hanging to Judge Owl's feathers was Teggy, nnd hanging to Peggy's dress was Billy. both of them made tiny, and both of them being helped along by the dr leif wings that Judgo Owl had fas. toned to their shoulders with pine needles. Gray Back trnvolod a long way, j-olng across broad hnllB and plunging through narrow passages. Finally ho came to a hugo chamber that looked llkj a ballroom. In the big room wore dozens nnd dozens of rnts and mice, all of them lilting ns still ns could bo nnd All cf them looking up toward tho celling. "Squeek-ek I Here wo aro nt Dr. Bat's party ! Now let go my tall !" squealed Gray Back. "Silence!" hissed n queer voice from away up among the dark shadows of the roof. "Silence! Our feast hasn't ici'e to sleep yet." Peggy nnd Billy couldn't understand that kind of talk. They had nover heard of a party feast going to sleep. "Huh!" grunted Judgo Owl. "Who dares toll me to keep silent when I want to speak?" Judgo Owl lluttered up toward the roof to see, and Peggy and Billy followed. They perched be side Judge Owl on one of tho Icicles. For a moment they couldn't see any thing In the dark shadows, and then of a audden Peggy became aware that he was looking directly Into a pair of bright cruel eyes. But to her amase ment, there was nobody below tho eyes The beady orbs appeared to bo hanging In the air. Billy's eyes looked farther than Ttggy'a ana he gavo a gasp of sur prise. "It Is hanging upside Idown from the roof," ho enld. "It is h mouse." "Huh I" grunted Judgo Owl. "It Is a batr "Of course It Is a bat," hissed the voice they had heard before. "It la Di. Bat, If you please. Who nro you, who have come to my party without being Invited?" Petgy and Billy wore taken aback at that. It made them feel uncomfort able to be told they hadn't been In vited to the party. But Judgo Owl wasn't token aback he didn't seem to care whother ho hnd been invited or not "Huh"' he chuckled. "I've been to bit partleB before. You'd better be po lite, or I'll havo a bat party of my own. Bats aren't bad to eat when one can't ret anything better." That seemed to take the sauclness out of Dr. Bat and he made hnste to put on tetter manners. "Oh. hello, Judge Owl," he hissed. "I didn't know you nt first. Of course you tan come to my party, but you must bo very qut so our fenst can go to sleep." "Huh!" grunted Jmlgo Owl. "What Is our feast a mouse or a frog or some thing?" Dr. Rat blinked his bright, cruel eyes and leaned over toward them. "No" he hissed "It's a bigger feast than that the biggest bat feast you vor heard of." At that moment a swift black figure darted through the air and came to a haitln front of Dr. Bat. "The feast Is fast asleep," hissed tho black flEUie, who proved to bo another bat 'Then come quickly," hissed Dr. Bat 1 mutt operate on him before he awak ens" Br Uat dropped from tho roof, Dreading hU rubber-like wings nnd Jartlng away.
