of Orville Wright is that the armoring

German chemists have invented a
drug, according to their claims, which
will prevent hunger from causing head
aches or inconvenience. There are
plenty of existing drugs which have
the same effect and permanently. 1t is
not likely that the expert chemist has
improved on these. AS for the rest,
militarism has drugged the people al

Advice is something that somebody
who has been through a thing that you
are just starting into gives you along
with a pain. 1t (the advice), is free,
and worth it. AS a rule, old people
give young people advice and young
people don't take it. Most of the adj
vice in the world is about choosing a
career and getting married, and both
of these are usually dismal failures.
Once in a while you meet a person
who never gives advice and neve takes
any. Stick to him. He is a rare in
dividual.

The story of the captured U-boat
commander who betrayed four other
U-boats when he feared for his own life
on the British boat they might tor
pedo is quite probable. The style Of
fighting which creeps upon an enemy

from danger is not the type from
which one may expect high-minded
loyalty and heroic self-abnegation.
