Jane AddamJ went once TO a bull
6ght In Spain. She saw five bulls
killed and az many horses. When her
friends expressed their surprise at her
Indifference 10 the bloody sport, she
said she had not thought much about
IL. Then she began to think. The
more she thought. the more her con-
science troubled her. She had been
contemplating engaging In some form
OF social work. Ii suddenly was i'm
pressed upon her that she had been
lulling her conscience to sleep by q
dream Of service that was remain
ing only a dream. that she was not
really In earnest. Ii was the memory
OF her attitude Of indifference to the
bull fight that acted as mirror
to her soul and stirred her to action,
says Our Dumb Animals. She re-
turned TO America. and the famous
Hull House Of Chicago came into be.
Ing. This is the only good thing we
ever heard as connected with a bull
fight, except when the tortured bull
got even with his tOrtuers.

RAINY TOMORROW

T. XPERTS are agreed that sooner
II or later there may be q slump In
financial matters, and that money will
be much harder to get than Il is now.
Salaries may fall. there may again be
much unemployment-in short. after q
lot of fair weather, rain may be looked
for.
Are you getting your umbrella and
overshoes, metaphorically speaking,
for the wet spell? - 81
In other words, are you laying aside
some Of the money you are getting to-
day for the time when you find it diff
cult TO make as much?
No woman in business or employ
ment OK any kind should spend her en-
tire income. Even with the best Of
luck there is likely to be q time when
money is badly needed, and when a
sum In the bank or properly invested
msy he really life saver.
A spell of Illness. An accident. a
sudden responsibility-these things
are apt to come TO any Of Us. to all Of
us. To meet them we need more than
the regular sum we make; we need a
reserve. And It is fatal mistake to
spend your entire income In the full
days, simply because you take IL FOR
granted that you will always 60 on

secure when your income grows larger
because you will continue to spend

1t il no use counting on II always
being FAIR AND WARMER for you
Make sure that some day It Will read

be right. Be prepared. And espe-
cially now, when the world Is In O
