ON PUTTING THINGS OFF
There Are Times When Waiting q
Little While Helps Whole
Lot.

Demonstration never got anybody
anywhere, but" said Mr.. Gratebar,
there are times when putting things
off bit helps a lot, as, for instance,
in the matter Of answering certain
letters.
Il get once in while a letter that
is cross, i'll tempered, sarcastic or that
maybe sets up some proposition that
the writer himself would have known
wouldn't hold water if he had stopped
to think about it.
"Now, my natural inclination would
be to answer that letter right away.
l could shoot his proposition full of
holes easily and make it look foolish
His sarcasm l could answer much
more bitingly. But what l do now
in my somewhat ripper years IS to smile
and say to myself:
What's the USE?
What / do now before answering
such letter is to wait day, to sleep
on it.
There's habit that it would be
worth any mans while to cultivate.
Sleeping on 1t will iron the wrinkles
out OF any sort of trouble, solve for us
any problem; it soothes and clarifies.
1t brings back our courage and our
sense of humor. And then, in the
morning, when I come to answer that
letter / answer it in a spirit that
makes not an enemy. but a friend.
This sort of putting things off I
don't call procrastination it is just
waiting a little to give all hard feel
ing time for evaporation"

SURE CURE FOR INSOMNIA
Eat Pint OF Peanuts and Drink Three
Glasses of Milk Before
Retiring.

Recently friend who had heard
that sometimes suffer from insom-
MIA told me of a sure cure. EAT a
pint of peanuts and drink two or
three glasses Of milk before going to
bed" said he, land I'll warrant you'll
be asleep within half an hour" / did
as he suggested, and now for the bene-
fit of others who may be afflicted with
insomnia I feel it my duty to report
what happened, so far as 1 am able to
recall the details.
First, let me say my friend was
right. did go to sleep very soon after
my retirement. Then a friend with
his head under his arm came along and
asked me If I wanted to buy his feet.
was negotiating with him when the
dragon on which 1 was riding slipped
out of his skin and left me floating in
midair. While I was considering how
l should get down, a bull with two
heads peered over the edge of the wall
and said he would haul me I'D if I
would first climb up and rig a windlass
for him. So as I was sliding down the
mountainside the brakeman came in.
and asked him when the train would
reach my station.
I'VE passed your station over 400
years ago." he said, calmly, folding the
train up and slipping it into his vest
pocket.
At this juncture the clown bounded
into the ring and pulled the centerpole
out of the ground, lifting the tent and
all the people in it up, up, while stood
ON the earth below watching, myself
go out of sight among the clouds above.
Then I awoke, and found I had been
asleep almost ten minutes.-H. B.

Ocean Scenes Give Viola Dana
"Sea-Legs"

"Sea-legs", declared Viola
Dana, who appears at the No
gales Theatre today in the
Metro All-Star Series Picture
Picture Breakers Ahead" I'm
not the only one. Everybody
in the cast has them, but the
bow-legged ones have them the
worst!"
Miss Dana, who weighs only
"a pounds, was tossed about
like a feather on the deck of a
big sailing vessel, use d in
Breakers Ahead" The vessel
which had been obtained by
Metro under special permit of
the Federal authorities, cruised
for three days off the Golden
Gate at San Francisco. During
the entire voyage the weather
was bad and the seas choppy.
Hardened mariners aboard
the ship admitted that "she was
rolling some" and Miss Dana
protested that it was even
worse than that, but she stuck
to the ship. Tossed and buffet
ed about, the little star bravely
enacted her thrilling scenes
while the cameranan, with his
camera dashed to the deck,
ground away. If the scenes are
not extremely realistic it is no
fault of Viola Dana's for they
were only too real for her. Her
success in acquiring sea-legs
had helped her keep her foot
ing.
However, it was only when
she struck dry land again that
the Metro star noticed anything
out of the ordinary. Then, the
sidewalks seemed to be coming
up to meet her. Her friends
gazed at her inastonishment as
she walked, and then Viola told
them that she had acquired sea
legs while doing water stuff
for Breakers Ahead"

Practice Handwriting.

For years business people have de-
pended on the typewriting machine
for their letters, and have neglected
their handwriting. The dearth of ma
chimes is now being generally felt, es-
pecially in commercial houses, and
once more it has become necessary to
be able to write clearly and legibly.
For the first time the other day the
head of a big business firm took the
trouble to get specimens Of the hand
writing of his staff of female clerks.
There were scarcely six who could
write a really good hand. ''People
won't take the time to read bust
ness letter unless it is legibly written"
was his querulous comment.

Gigantic German Thrust in West

Advertised Offensive.

Washington. Jan. "a gigantic
German thrust on the west 'front.'
possibly their greatest assault during

War Baker declares in his weekly mil.
itary review just issued.
In the great battle the Germans, Mr..
Baker said, may be counted upon to
strain every fiber of their remaining
strength in an endeavor to make their
plans succeed"
Explains Delay.
The delay in the assault, predicted
weeks ago by the German press and
Allied war chiefs, has been due to the
time necessary for concentration Of
large troop masses, adequate artillery
and ample reserves of munitions" Mr..
Baker said.
He counsels the American people
