Success is never attained by staying awake at night, but
by staying awake in the daytime.
SPEND AND DESTROY
And now comes the proposal from an automobile manu-
facturer for the government to spend $100,000,000 buying
up and scrapping 1,000,000 old automobiles, on the theory
that the automobile industry employs one out of every seven
persons, directly or indirectly.
The idea is no different than paying farmers for not rais-
ing crops, plowing under cotton, destroying young pigs, buy-
ing surplus farm crops, ete. But it’s pretty hard for the old-
er school who were taught to save and produce, to get used
to the new idea of spend and destroy.
Where, then, is the fault? Why did last year’s automobile
death toll reach an alltime high in excess of 40,000? The
answer is plain. We talk about safety—but a great many of
\ us aren’t willing to do the things that create safety. It’s easy
| to pan the other fellow—and at the same time to excuse
worse faults in ourselves. We condemn recklessness—and
then go out and drive at high speeds. We argue convincing-
ly that courtesy in driving is vital-—and then hog the right-
of-way. We have nothing but condemnation for the drunk-
en driver—and then we go to a party, drink all evening, and
drive home.
Yes, we can have safety—when we really want it. It’s
squarely up to us all.
It was one of those superb afternoons in spring when na-
ture seems to be doing her best to make everything beautiful
and peaceful. The sun was still well above the horizon and
its warmth was caressing. A plot of grass in my garden had
been sprinkled and several robins were hopping about. If I
were a poet, I could have composed some pretty verse.
Close observation, however, revealed that the robins were
not dancing about for their own amusement. They were
looking for worms, and any worm that was so unwary as to
stick! its head above the ground was quickly seized and de-
voured.
Lurking in the shrubbery was our cat and when one of
the robins was busy with a worm, the cat stole up on it. If I
had not interfered, the robin would have been the cat’s sup-
per, just as the worm had been the robin’s supper.
This kind of warfare goes on in nature at all hours. There
is really little peace, despite the poets.
WE CAN HAVE SAFETY
We'll get highway safety—when we want it!
When nine out of ten persons want safety, we'll be on our
way to having safety. It will work out this way:
The nine will turn to the educator, the engineer and the
enforcer—the personalities behind the three E's of safety
and say this: ‘We want this problem solved. We're willing
to pay the price and we're willing to cooperate in the fullest
measure.’
We have all the essentials of safety at hand.

having been a major factor in bringing on and maintaining
the current business collapse. The Senate Finance Commit-

This committee has a wealth of sound, dispassionate evid-
ence on its side—but, unfortunately, that doesn’t necessarily
count in politics.
The only thing that can sway the ultimate decision is the
public's attitude. A wise, informed people who let it be
known that they have had enough political manhandling of
their jobs and savings, will see its wishes made into law. A

with anxious eyes.

STORY
‘‘Some come-
down,’ added Alice,
between chuckles.
“The mighty has fallen,” quoth |
Belle, sedately, with a solemn face.
Patty spoke impatiently: ‘Come |
on girls, give me the news.”
“You tell her,” the girls chor-
used, as they pushed Belle forward.
Controlling her amusement, Belle
told the story of Connie Benson's
peeve against Stanley Hargrave,
known as the “Worm” to his class-
mates.
“It all started with the Worm.”
You know ever since he refused the
last invitation to our prom, Connie
has taken a decided interest in him.
She thought it was because he was
poor that he isolated himself from
all social activities.
“The Worm seemed more ap-
proachable than ever before, so
Connie really lets herself out. He
reciprocates by handing her the
‘story’ of his life. And such a
tale it is—full of sorrow and trouble
and privations. And—Connie falls
for it! But the best is yet to come.
He dropped his notebook in his ab-
sorption, and the papers flew all
over the campus; Connie helped
him pick them up, and right on top
there was one headed, ‘Plot for One-
Act Play.” Underneath were writ-
ten out the very incidents that the
Worm had told her. He had been
stringing her all along.”
The “Talesman,” a small paper
written and edited by the coeds, be-
gan to display a marked preference
for pictures and drawings of worms.
Then a series appeared dealing with
the life of ‘Little Stephen, the Or-
phan Worm.”
Connie brought ‘Little Stephen”
through high school and sent him
to college. Then the real fun be-
gan. Every incident she could re-
member that concerned Stanley was
put into print. His hermit-like hab-
its; his avoidance of all sports, and,
even his addiction to gray ties were
mentioned.
The paper went to press Saturday
and was ready for distribution Tues-
day at noon.
There, in the center of the mid-
dle page, was a drawing of Connie,
gazing with hate and aversion in
her eyes at ‘Little Stephen,” who
was almost submerged in a pool of
tears. Copious drops were oozing
from his saddened eyes. And the
text—a masterpiece of sarcasm and
ridicule.
“Gee, Connie, this is a knock-
out!” exclaimed a crowd of boys
as they gathered around the trium-
phant miss.
“Ho—play with fire, you know—"
she sang out wisely.
Suddenly there was a disturbance
at the edge of the circle. The crowd
disappeared as if by magic. Fac-
ing Connie was the Worm himself.
Evidently he had ‘‘turned,’” for,
striding swiftly up to the girl, he
grasped her forearm and, without
a word, piloted her toward the
near-by forest. Ccennie was speech-
less.
“Now, young lady, the time has
come for a reckoning.” A very de-
termined young man faced a sud-
denly timorous girl in the leafy
shadows of the trees.
“I'll admit I played a mean trick
on you when you tried to be nice
to me. But I didn't trust you—I
thought you were merely having
fun with me. You see, I was in-
jured in the war, so that prevents
me from joining in any sports. Oh,
I know you didn’t know.
“I didn’t mind your kidding me
through the medium of ‘Little Ste-
phen’; on the contrary, I enjoyed
it. But I did mind the last chap-
ter.”
Connie was bewildered—what was
he getting at?
“Did you really mean that you
hate me as much as you looked in
the picture?” It burst from him sud-
denly. “I couldn’t stand it if you
did; I know I have no right to
speak to you this way, but—"’
Connie stopped him with a gentle
hand; her eyes were very tender.
“You mustn't speak that way;
who has a better right? I have a
perfect devil of a temper (for which
I am grossly ashamed), and I'll ad-
mit that I felt terribly humiliated
at your treatment. But I am terri-
bly sorry I allowed my temper to
carry me so far. I hope you will
forgive me—and I really don’t hate
you.”
This last was murmured softly,
yet Stanley heard it. His thin face
lit up amazingly, and he moved a
step nearer.
“When I am through school and
my health improves, do you think I
might ask a certain young lady a
certain question?”
The “certain young lady” glanced
up shyly and put one small hand in
his. Then, with a brave little smile,
she spoke:
“I think that the ‘certain young
lady’ will be very glad to answer
any questions you may ask—Stan- |
ley.”

Numerous Names for the
Friendly Black Cherry
The wild black cherry has quite a
preciated by the farmer and the
Among the names for
this tree, observes a writer in the
Chicago Tribune, is cabinet cherry,
which tells how valuable the wood
of the tree is in making furniture.
Then there is the intriguing name of
rum cherry.
The wild cherry tree is a familiar _|
figure in the woods. It is apt to
give you the impression of being a
rather unconventional tree com-
pared to the dignified manner as-
sumed by the oaks. It isn’t par-
ticularly discriminating about
where it grows. Then, too, it is
unconventional in contour. The
trunk is apt to be crooked and hhe
foliage is thin and drooping.
The happy-go-lucky cherry tree,
growing most anywhere in the
woods, along the fences or wherever
it may take seed, looks much like a
character that has tried hard to be
correct in every detail. But appar-
ently it has been too much trouble
to be precise and stand formal and
reserved like an oak.
Although the useful wild hlack
cherry tree may not impress you as
you look over the landscape and see
it in comparison to the stately elms
and the big oaks, it really joins the
elite among trees when you consid-
er its wood. It is close grained,
takes a fine polish and has been
used much to imitate mahogany and
for making furniture. But its use-
fulness doesn’t end there by any
means. The bark of this rugged old
species is used in medicine since it
contains an ingredient of tonic prop-
erties.
Indian Chief Powhatan
Scared by the English
The Indian Chief Powhatan was
the father of Pocahontas, and his
original name was Wahinsonacock,
notes a writer in the Indianapolis
News. He was one of the most pow-
erful sachems connected with the
early history of the United States.
His rule covered most of the terri-
tory now embraced within the states
of Maryland and Virginia. He had
residences in different parts of hi}
country and changed his abode
different seasons of the year.
the time of his first acquaintance
with the English in 1607 he was
about sixty years of age.
He was tall and well-proportioned,
capable of enduring great fatigue.
He showed his friendliness to the
English by sending them much
needed articles of food. However,
the conduct of the English was so
ill-advised and often so unjust that
they were continually in trouble
with him. Two or three times he
planned war against the English,
but without result. At one time an
accident occurred which had a great
effect on him. Some of his men
had obtained powder from the Eng-
lish and were experimenting with it
when a powerful explosion took
place, killing several. This so great-
ly increased Powhatan’s reverence
for the English, or fear of them,
that he sought peace and sent to the
colony nearly half his crop of corn.
On the death of Powhatan, at an
advanced age, his brother, Opechan-
canough, succeeded to the throne,
in accordance with the custom by
which a brother took precedence
over a son as heir of the kingdom.
Circus Giants Die Young
There are two kinds of tall men.
The first kind is a normal individual
who is tall because of inherited fac-
tors received from tall parents or
more remote ancestors. The second
kind includes those whose normal
pattern would be of medium height,
but who, because of some upset of
the glandular system, develops very
long legs and other bone abnormal-
ities. The tallest men are included
in the second type, which is well
known to the public as the circus
giant. Record of seven men whose
height ranged from 7 feet 6 inches
to 8 feet 7 inches were secured and
it was found their average age at
death was thirty-four years. The
oldest lived to forty-five and the
youngest to twenty-nine years. The
mortality data of 20,000 men rang-
ing from 6 feet 2 inches to 7 feet 1
inch obtained from records were
examined and it was found that the
tall men had a practically normal
mortality for their age.
The Base for Paint
Paint generally is composed of a
base, a vehicle and a drier. The
base is the chief ingredient of the
paint, and may be one or a com-
bination of several different com-
pounds, such as white lead, zine
lead, zinc white, red lead, iron ox-
ide, and others. When the desired
color is not obtained by the use of
bases, additional coloring pigments,
such as chrome green, Prussian
blue and the like, may be incorpo-
rated. The vehicle is the liquid por-
tion of the paint, which gives it its
covering quality; the commonest is
linsced oil.
