Two Minutes of Optimism
By HERMAN J. STICI1
Ttiflc
-.j, coUBSE a man must havo some educntlon," a well-known business mnn
0 said to me not lon'f "K0' ',mlt Bho,1'd JU180 thnt after a mnn bns been
, tc(j from our common schools he's got n foundation ns strong as any you
find nmouR otir so-called 'big business men assuming, of course, that ho
tWinnts reading, studying and keeping up with the times. After that wo don't
much about college training or 'degrees' as his ability to THINK. 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.

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

For Perspiring Hands
To the Editor of Ifomcit's rage:
Dear Madam I am a ilnllv reader
of your column and havo seen that you
havo given others good advice, I mi'
annoyed by perspiring hands. Would
you kindly recommend n remedy ngnln'il
thlB-
It Is very difficult to Mml a lasting
remedy for this trouble. Bathing th
hands In violet nmmotiln nftcr "m
time they aro washed often makes them
drier, and alcohol also help, 'J m
give only tcmnornrv relief, but If uou
regularly, they will stop the perspli-
ing ior a umc, lit least.

Is no reward attached to this. Desert

ugrce that it sound sort of nice. "It"
comes In a jar. Ono rubs it into the

soften the hands, removing all traces
of any chapped condition, but it n'sn
