VZOU are maulted to the earth? Come up with smiling face.
 l It's nothing against you to fall
 down flat, but to lie there-that's s
 disgrace.
 The harder you're thrown the higher

 blackened eye.
 II isn't the fact that you're licked that
 counts, but how did you fight and
 why.
 Man born of woman was built to walk upright. At the same time it was under stood he might sometimes fall or get knocked down. His skeleton was care fully covered for the jolt.
 Therefore the cushion.
 It is no disgrace to fall down on your cushion nor even to get knocked down by some other man or adverse fate. The disgrace consists in staying down and taking the count.
 Get up!
 Get up with smiling face and go at it again. It is the fellow who comes up smiling and goes down smiling who fin- ally finds himeslf and delivers his knock out blow
 Courage born of adversity counts. Many man has been licked who would not stay licked. If you do not know when you are whipped one else will ever find 1t out.
 If diversity will not make man of you nothing else will.

 Fate could not keep him down.
 Get up! Don't be ashamed of your black eye. Get up smiling and go at It again Fight and never say die.
 Do not stop to brush the dirt off your Nsclothes. Wade in. Know the joy of bat ting; feel the consciousness of master ship. There's a spark of the divine in you that will help you in the fight.

 A scientist explains how the spectro- scope detects the approach of stormy con- ditions. "'rhe nearer the approach Of rain the more pronounced do the lines on the yellow band become" he said. '9f tts yellow band Is quite distinct and free from any lines one may be assured that ths weather will be fine, at least for some hours to come. There Is one fixed dark line always present in the yellow part of the spectrum, but one soon becomes famil- far with this and ignores it.
 The reason that lines appear on ths yellow band Is that when thee is ryater vapor between the spectroscope and the sunlight the moisture cuts out and ab- sorbs part of the yellow band. leaving ons or one black lines in it's place These black lines are caused by the absence of color, and their extent and clearness may determine the severity of the rainstorni and how soon 1t Is likely to come
 When using the instrument one must always look in the direction .he wind is blowing from. as it will of course 10 from that point of the compass that water vapor will come.
