The world is made up of two class.
es Of people: lifters and leaners. The
lifters are builders, the trail blazers,
the fnitfators, the strong, the never
die sort; the others are just simply
the leaners. In greater or less de-
gree, every man and woman make up
into one of these classes. In greater
or less degree YOU are drifting one
way or the other. Think for a mo-
ment: where do you stand? The world
is turning over. It's hunting its pow
er of place and men must make up
its sphere. They must construct its
bed. How inspiring is a litter! Have
you ever stopped to consider that
every time you lift, you grow-strong-
er? And every time you lean-ever
SO unconsciously-yo grow weaker? ?
The entire world must be made strong
that it may lift up the weak. Your
place is probably right where you are
until some compelling power calls
and leads you to some other place.
Work out your plan. But first get, or
create a plan; for as you lead, others
are bound to follow. Example is in
fluence. Example is inspiration. And
inspiration is achievement-pictur

DRUNK; FINED 500
CoIlinsYille Man Arrested After
Running Into Tree in West End

Judge James T. Meskill imposed a
fine of 500 and costs this morning
upon E. T. Longan of Collinsville for
driving a motor vehicle while under
the influence of liquor. Longan fig
ured in a serious accident near the
Black Rock bridge late last night. in
which a large Paige car which he was
driving was smashed almost beyond
repair. The car was advancing at
rapid rate of speed when the driver,
losing control of the wheel, sWerveG
it into a tree. An additional fine Of
So was imposed for driving without
an operators license.
The police were notified last night
that a man under the influence of Ii
duor had just crashed into tree at
Black Rock. Officers Liebler and
Heslin went with the patrol to the
scene of the accident and found the
car badly damaged. Longan and
woman with whom he was riding
were in a nearby house. Both had
received a number of minor injuries
but neither was seriously hurt. When
questioned by officer Liebler he said
that the woman was driving the car
but later admitted that he was doing
the driving. He was unable to pro
duce a drivers license. He was very
drunk and was placed under arrest
on the two counts.
The accused admitted to the Judge
this morning that he was drunk, and
! that he had no operators license. He
| lost his license about year ago when
| he was arrested in Avon on a similar
charge. Since that time he has not
| driven a car until last night. He had
| sold the car few weeks ago to the
woman passenger and was showing
| her how to operate it, he said.
| This morning q man named Cor
| man Of Hartford reported to the po-
| lice that his auto had been ''side-
! swiped' last night near Plainville by
! the accused. Both stopned their cars
! and got out. He noticed then that
| Longan was drunk and advised the
| woman not to ride with him while in
| that condition. She replied that he
| was all right, and they continued on
: their way to New Britain.
/ In court this morning Longan bore
| many visible signs of the accident. his
face having been badly cut.

Past and Present at War.
This then, is our conception
OF the great struggle in which
we are engaged. The plot is
written plain upon every scene
and every act Of the supreme
tragedy. On the one hand stand
the peoples of the world-not
only the peoples actually en-
gagged, but many others also
who suffer under mastery but
cannot act; peoples of many
races and in every part OF the
world-the people OF stricken

none can profit but themselves,
and whose peoples are fuel in

which fear their people and yet

lives and fortunes as they will,

tunes of every people who fall

own. The past and the present
are in deadly grapple and the
peoples of the world are being
done TO death between them.
Only One Way Out.
There can be but one issue.
The settlement must be final.
There can be no compromise.
No halfway decision would be
tolerable. q. No halfway decision
IS conceivable. These are the
ends for which the associated
peoples of the world are fight

peace:
THE destruction Of every
arbitrary power anywhere that
can separately, secretly and
OF its single choice disturb the
peace Of the world: or, If it can
not be presently destroyed, at
the least its reduction to virtual
impotence.

Treating Heated Horses.

Do not bleed horses that have fallen
from sunstroke or heat exhaustion.
Apply ice or very cold water to the
head and spine. Give half an ounce Of
carbonate of ammonia in one pint Of
water as soon as the animal is able
to swallow freely. Repeat the dose
In one hour If the pulse has not be-
come slower. Showering the horse
with cold water from a hose is good
treatment and should be repeated until
the body temperature is reduced to
103 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t helps In
some cases to rub the legs briskly with
wisps of hay or straw.
After the horse has again become
able to eat readily, specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture advise that the following dose
of tonic be given In his feed for a
few days each morning and evening:
Sulphate of iron. one dram; gentian,
three drains; red cinchona bark, two
drains, mixed in the feed.
