THOSE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
Don't Make Them Unless You Expect to
Stand Pat"

1t is now the time of year when those
who have strayed from the straight
and narrow during the past twelve
months are busy framing resolutions to
govern their conduct during the ensuing
year. For the most part, these reso-
buttons will be made in perfect good
faith, and, as usual, broken before the
end of January.
Just when the custom of making New
Years resolutions was inaugurated is
obscure, but it would seem to be Gus
