The flag, suspended from the level
of the eighth floor, reaches down to
the third. 1t would make good hcfty

PLAYING FOR SAFETY.
Very frequently the young busi.

between playing for safety-which
means that he relegates himself

which make business the aiiurins

Here the unmarried man has,

mendous pull. II he takes tho
risks and fails, he has only himself
to think Of. The married man,
provided he has any proper sense
Of responsibility, tends to shiver
on the brink. and often precious
