for him to receive the liberal educa-
tion of the high school and college.
Recently a woman who is en-
ployed in one of the government DE
partmepts asked the present writer
for advice. She had finished a high
school course some years ago but
had not gone to college because she
was needed at home to manage the
affairs of the household Later she
had accepted a positior3 jim the Civil
Service. Her friends are practically
all college women and II Is now
matter of extreme concern to her
that she has never had any college
training. 49,
Her Problem. :.
"She has saved up enough money
to take her through a four years
course. but nothing more. Her
health is not up to the average and
occasionally she has periods of iii
health. which makes inFoads on her
savings. Ought she to give up her
position and attend college for
four years In order to satisfy her
craving?
THE advice given to her was
that, in view of the, condition of
her health, she was not justified
in expending her savings on four
years of college life. 1t was pos
sible for her to receive q college
education in an evening school
without the necessity of giving up
Eher means of earning living. Be-
cause she was not in robust health
| and because she would come to her
classes at the close OF a days work
in the office, she must not dream
of completing a four years col

told. She had seen much of life.

FLYING HOSPITALS
ARE BELIEVED TO BE
POSSIBLE BY SPECIALISTS

LONDON, Dec. 19.-U. n. So
Hospitals established in airships in
high and germ-free attitudes are quite
possible, according to prominent nerve
specialists attending n convention
here.
American doctors have long been
interested in such a possibility Of cur
ing nervous patients by sending them
for trips in an airplane. A specialist
here said flying is hardly safe enough
at this time to make it suitable as a
cure for patients whose particular dis
ability is due to nervous disorder,
however.
Il frequently prescribe motoring for
nerve patients" said the doctor, "but
generally short runs of forty TO fifty
miles. do not think people suffering
from nerves would wish to fly at the
present time"
"Flying Hospital
The doctor pointed out, however,
that to prescribe flying for tubercular
patients and others suffering from
diseases accompanied by malnutrition
was altogether a different matter.
He vas of the opinion that airship
hospitals were a practicable possibility
of the near future.
Patients would probably be taken
up to a height not exceeding 5000 to
10000 feet at first, and in the first
case for a few hours only, a period
which might gradually be extended TO
twenty-four hours.
we have not yet, however said
the doctor, very much information
as to what the effect of resting for a
considerable time at a very high alti-
ture may be on the human organism.
Sunbaths
1t seems certain, however, that So
1ourn in the germ-free air will, by in
creastng ~oxygenation, improve and
purify the blood, and the modern
school of medicine is tending more
and more to recognize a given disease
as a local effect of unsatisfactory |
blood.

THEATRICAL MEN TO
ACT AGAINST C0UGHERS

NEW YORK, Dec. ID. y. ST.
IF you must cough in the theatre, do
It at the box office" is the reaction Of
local theatrical managers to news
from Paris that producers there have
started an anti-coughing crusade.
Local producers are following the
example of a Jersey City minister, who
is said to begin his sermon each Sun
day morning by saying that if persons
in his audience must cough, they
should at least wait until the collection
plate is passed and then cough UP as
hard as they please.
The cough in the theatre usually
comes at the most dramatic point in
the play, producers say.
Local authorities agree with Paris
specialists hat about Is per cent Of
the theatre coughs are inexcusable.
They say a moments concentration
when the FIRST coughing urge is felt
will generally stifle it.

success or failure in certain lives.
/ do not want to be understood
as ignoring the many other quail
fications necessary in life, but |
do want to emphasize the impor-
lance and value to every one. no
matter in what station in life, of
dependability and what it will
mean to them. One who is de-
pendable cannot be deceitful,
dishonest, dissipated or disloyal..
The blessings our Creator has
showered upon us have given us
a fine object lesson in depend
ability. We depend upon the
seasons in their regular order.
We depend upon the fundamental
laws of reproduction. We know
we can do so without question.
When we realize fully what a
reputation for dependability
means in our lives, if we are
worth while we will profit by the
knowledge and enjoy the advan-
tages resulting from dependable
ity of character.
The farmer who markets his
products and establishes a repu-
tation for dependability gets his
immediate reward in having Gus
toners who depend upon him and
will not buy of any one else. The
merchant who sells seed and fer
tilizer and never misrepresents
his goods, builds up a trade that
cannot be taken away from him.
If we want to build for the fu-
ture, no other quality will contri-
butte more to our success and hap
piness than dependability.

noise differed; the boarders hnd-
died together in the parlor as the
man above came down on the
floor with thump, thnn1p, that
fairly shook the house.

was opened BY the new boarder.

Dependability


His friends need have little fear
for the future success of the
young man starting out in life if
he is equipped with one very es-
sentlal qualification. Without it,
no matter how thorough his other
equipment, his future success is
uncertain. That qualification is
Dependability.
It matters not whether he is
the lowliest employee or the Chief
Executive of a great nation. with
out a reputation for dependability
he is seriously handicapped. If
he is an employee and has con.
WINGED his employer that he can
be depended upon without ques-
ton, it stands to reason that he
will have consideration and ad-
vancement. 1t Is good business
on the part Of his employer to ad-
vance him.
When he advances to the point
where he wants to launch out in
business for himself and needs
capital, with q reputation for de-
Probability that is unquestioned
he will have no trouble in secur-
ing it. There is always capital
seeking investment where those
using it can be depended on to
meet their obligations. 1t is not
always the lack Of available cap
ital for investment that makes it
unable for 50 many people to f.
nance their business under
takings. The trouble with many
ID that they have failed to estab-
fish reputation Tor unqueStloned
dependability.
When broader fields open to
men with reputation for depend
ability. and large amounts or cap
ital are necessary. capital will
flow in If the master mind and
controlling personality can be de-
pended upon.
The value of dependability is
not confined to financial opera
tons. It's worth is exemplified
in the home. in the school, in
church and in political life. No
matter in what direction we turn,
we want to know that those we
come in contact with, and have
to depend on. are dependable.
Sharp practices and deception
may serve for a time, but the
time will be short. and when un-
masked those found out are ever
after regarded with suspicion.
The young man starting out in
life with an established reputa-
ton for dependability is far more
secure than the young man who
is well supplied with money. but
without dependability or charac-
ter.
/ could recite unlimited in
stances showing what a reputa-
ton for dependability has done
