gasoline is obtained. The process ex-
tracts gasoline from residue and oils
that did not give up any gasoline 1n-
der the old process. It is so cheap and
practicable, it Is asserted. as to place
the method directly In the hands OF

TIME.
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Old Father Time knows more than any
body.
He solves more problems than all the
brains in the world.
More hard knots are Embossed, more
tangled questions are answered, more
deadlocks are unfastened by Time than
by any other agency.
I'm the theological disputes that once
ragged in Christendom neither side routed
the other; Time routed them both by
showing that the whole subject did not
matter
After the contemporaries had had
their say. Time crowned Homer, Dante,
Wagner. Shakespeare, Whitman, Emer-
SON.
Almost any judgment can be appealed,
but from the decision OF Time there is
no appeal.
Do not force issue with your children.
Learn 60 wait. Be patient. Time will
bring things 10 pass that no immediate
power can accomplish.
Do not create crisis with your hus-
band your wife Wait See what Time
will do
Time has a thousand resources,
abounds in unexpected expedieuts.
Time brings a change in point of view,
IN temper, In state OF mind which no
contention can.
When YOU teach, make allowance for
Time. What the child cannot possibly
understand now, he can grasp easily a
year from now.
When YOU have a difficult business az
fair 10 settle give it Time put it away
and see how il will ferment sleep on it,
give it rs many days as you can IL will
often settle itself
II YOU would produce a story a play,
a book. or an essay. write it out then
lay il aside and LET il simmer. forget il a
while then take il out and write il over.
Time is the best critic the shrewdest
adviser the frankest friend.
II You are positive you want 20 marry
a certain person. let Time have his word.
Nowhere Is Times advice more needed.
Today we may be sure. but listen 70
few t0morrows
You are born and YOU will die whenever
fate decides: you have nothing TO do
with those fatal two things but in mar
rage, the third fatality, you have Time.
Take it.
Do not decide your beliefs and convic-
tons suddenly. Hang up the reasons 10
