WANT TO BE HAPPY?
PLAY BALL AND SAW WOOD

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March IT,
DR.. George l.. Walton, the neurologist,
lectured yesterday afternoon at the
Harvard Medical school on how to
live through a life of happiness rather
than one of fret and fears He said
the present time was a less emotional
period than that of fifty years ago,
citing as an example the prevalence
OF fainting then, but that there was
still much nervousness. If there were
less of argument. swearing and fret
ting, and more Willingness to listen
to criticism in a sane manner there
would be few cases of nervous pros
tration. he said.
Three rules for happiness laid down
by the doctor were. Don't harbor a
crouch, Don't live in the past and
Don't play the martyr" His favored
rules for a life of almost unalloyed
bliss are: Play ball get busy and
