The Presence.

at the hour a tender, loving young
mother had usually come with good
night kisses and caresses for the stur.

come again. A dry sob checked the
little Boys throat when this other un.
known Presence settled down in the
ROOM.
If followed the Boy, now grown
larger, into the barn-like room Of the
Dormitory where he studied alone. Il
travelled with him to the Great City.
For awhile Love and Dreams seem

bilious and thrust Love from him.
Then Success and Fame came ,te
him, and for brief periods he did not
see the Thing which ever followed, ane
then he would find it on the arm of the
overstuffed chair at his club, and al
ways in the crowd of the street, anc
ever by his lonely bed.
Old Age arrived and now It was al
his side for almost all Of his waking
moments.
And when the old man was about tt

One Bigotry Is
Like Another

The other day a friend of The Her
AIDS sent in clipping containing an
open letter to Henry Ford, rebuking
him for his shameful anti-Jewish
campaign.
1t was so vigorous a rebuke of the
prejudice on which that campaign is
based, and so mordant condemna-
tion of those capable of conducting
such a campaign, that it pretty near
ly got printed in The Herald.
But more careful reading of this
open letter showed that in the very
act of rebuking anti-Semitis bigotry
the author showed himself to be con-
sumed by anti Catholic bigotry so all
pervading that he couldn't even keep
his own bigotry out Of an attack on
another mans bigotry.
So of course, as one type of hate
breeding bigotry is no better than an
other, that open letter didn't and won't
get published in The Herald. It is
| fair to add that when his attention
| was called to the character Of the let
ter, the friend who sent it in without
careful reading apologized for send
| ing it and, though he is Jew ano
there was much in the letter that
sounded we'll to Jews. condemned its
spirit as roundly as The Herald could
This open letter, attackin" one kline
| of bigotry while it rocked with kline
| just as evil, simply goes to show
again that man is a queer creature

l doubt whether there's one able and

of thrift. Most Of the old sports in

little drawbacks. But by being pre-

Therereally is great deal of fun in

With Brains, Sir.

A scientist who has done indepen-
dent work that has won him. name
here and abroad, says that the secret
of success is thinking. He says that
out of the hundreds Of men he has
trained in the last 80 years, he can
count on the fingers of one hand, those
who have done any original work, and
the reason is that the rest were not
willing to think.
That sounds like the answer of
Joshua Reynolds when he was asked
with what he mixed his paints: with
brains, sir"
That is the whole story. Many peo-

ever is handy" has an ominous and
sinister connotation. To one reader
it suggests ga rolling pin, a pan OF
dishwater or a flatiron." But there
are many other effective instruments.
The hatpin is among those whose use
in battle is familiar to the female
of the species, more deadly than the
male. Usually tongue-lashing is
more dreaded than any other form OF
castigation. If the wife is armed with
an adequate vocabulary of scorn, in
vective and contumely, she requires no
other weapon.

suggestion for other cases. Perhaps
indigestion has contributed to the de-
, plorable condition, in which case the
remedy is simple. Mrs. Housewife

The Cruelty Of
Hasty Judgment

You can get prompt agreement
out of almost anybody when you say,
as so many do: II never would vote
to hang a man on circumstantial evil
dence"
But every day many of US vote to
rob man or woman Of his good name
on the flimsiest Of circumstantial evil
dence-or even on no evidence at all
but only on rumor: that malignant,
impalpable, irresponsible devil that
does so much. cruel harm in this
world.
We vote to condemn on circumstan-
tial evidence when we make hasty
judgments based on appearance, which
are so notoriously deceitful that we
ought all to be careful about basing
judgments upon them.
Two little stories, both illustrating
the cruelty of hasty Judgment on .ap-
pearances and without knowledge,
come to hand in one day. One of them
a traveller, returning from trans
Atlantic trip, writes in the New York
Telegraph.
One day passenger who had won
considerable unpopularity by his
bumptiousness was meddling with one
OF the hfebuoys on a promenade deck
The deck sailor approached him and
said politely: "Please keep your
hands off that red can that is attach
ed to the buoy. 1t is a safety device
tc guide any passenger who may have
fallen overheard"
The passenger answered surlily:
eyes, | know all about that I had
those things around my neck in the
Dardanelles. Besides, who are you to
butt in and get So important? Where
are the stripes on your jacket like all
the other stewards and sailors have on
their coats? What did you do in the,
war, anyhow"
The sailor came to attention and
said: "Oh, well, I didn't do SO very
much, but keep my decorations in my
pocket. | am not going around show
ing off," Then he turned on his
heels and walked away
Later the traveller, talking with the
library steward, told him of the Incl
dent and asked about the deck sailor.
Says the traveller:
The steward smiled, and unlocking
bookcase again, he took down bulky
volume called "A Merchant Fleet at
War; and turning to page II, he
pointed to a paragraph and asked me
to read it. / read how one George
Parry, in conjunction with another
steward, saved over one hundred lives
in the sinking of the Lusitania. Parry
showed extraordinary bravery and had
the bronze medal for gallantry pinned
on his breast at Buckingham palace by
King George. When I finished the
paragraph, the library steward re-
marked quietly:
Parry was the deck sailor who was
just sat on by that nasty passenger
upstairs"
The other incident, which is report
ed by the Columbus Dispatch, tells its
own story and points its own moral so
vividly that we let it speak for itself
A young woman in the balcony sof a |
Columbus theater kept talking to the
man who accompanied her, as the pic
ture on the screen progressed. Each

CAUSE or DAMAGE TO ROADS
PernieIous Practice Of Overlooking
Small Trucks With Marrow Tires
10 Responsible

With the rapid increase In the num-
Der OF motortrucks operated over our
highways, It has been found that
many Of what are called improved"
roads have failed to Withstand the adj
dltional traffic imposed by the new
form Of local freight transport. This
has given rise to new problems Of
road construction and maintenance,
and in some states has led to the en-
actment Of laws prohibiting the use
Of the large capacity truck, on the
assumption that 1t is the heavy truck
that does most Of the damage to the
road. The first result of this legisla
ton has been to encourage the PERM
clous practice of overlooking, under
which trucks designed to carry safe
~ limited weight are forced to car
~ large additional load. The tires
Of the various sizes of truck are made
Of sufficient width to prevent their
breaking or cutting the road surface
when loaded to their proper full ca
pacity, but when an overload Is add.
ed the tire width Is necessarily too
narrow, and the danger of injury to
the road becomes manifest. The tire
width required for certain loads has
been carefully worked out after many
years experience, and most states
have laws fixing the weight that is
borne by an inch Of tire width. In all
standard types of truck the width Of
tire corresponds to the load that can
be safely carried, and truck manu-
facturers warn their customers against
carrying greater weight than that for
which each size OF truck is designed.
The enactment of a law prohibiting
the use Of large capacity trucks leaves
the same tonnage of freight to be
moved. and with the heavy truck
barred resort must be had to the
smaller sizes. This means In many
cases less economical and efficient
service, and prompts the manufactur.
err or merchant to try TO make up for
loss In load capacity by increasing the
size Of the load. With this additional
load the gross weight on the tire ex-
ceeds the factor of safety, and there
by increases the danger OF breaking
the road surface. 1t is self-evident
that a truck designed to carry two
tons with corresponding width Of tires,

"The greatest progress in American

when II carries ton or so more of load
than its tires were intended for.
A striking example of the relation
Of overlooking to impact is given in
the preliminary report of the United
States bureau Of public roads, in
which II Is stated that three-ton
truck, with q load Of five tons, run
ming at speed Of 10 miles per hour
over a two-ineh rut, had an impact Of
slightly over IL tons, while a 5k-ton
truck with load of 5h tons, under
the same conditions had an impact Of
only ~ tons. The fact that the over
loaded truck had heavier "unsprung"
weight, that is, weight not sustained
BY springs, accounted to some extent
for Its greater impact, but there can
be no question that the overlooking
was a material factor In causing THE
greatly Increased wheel pressure ON
the road.
Against this danger truck owners
are constantly being warned by truck
manufacturers, who strongly advise
that no truck should be made TO carry
greater load than the weight de-
