good American can help just now
by putting his respect for the law
strongly In evidence. For the law Is
the law. II 1t is a poor law. it should
be changed. But until it Is changed.
it should be obeyed-whether it re-
lates to the shooting of game birds or
to the use of liquor or to the speed
Of automobiles or to murder or TO
anarchy. Many people who would
hotly resent the charge that they are
anarchists take delight in evading the
laws and in making sport of the laws.
Every thinking man must realize
that this Twentieth century ciyiliza-
alton is too complex to be sane, safe
and sober. Medical philosophers are
unanimous in declaring that we Amer
leans live too hard and too fast; that
our rapid ways are harmful both to
the individual and to the race; that
we should slow up. We are, to use the
homely old phrase. burning the candle
at both ends. Men try to succeed In
business. to rule in politics. to be So
cial leaders-all at the same time.
To crowd dissimilar things together
has become a national characteristic.
Our avocations are often as wearing
as our vOcations; We play even harder
than we work. Thus to crowd two
! or more lives into one is to borrow
of nature. She is hard creditor and
she always exacts payment.
One cannot. Of course, indict a whole
people. There are still millions Of
sane. safe and sober people in Ameri-
ca. But a society that demands or
even countenances such reckiessness
Is In need of reformation. 1t would
be interesting-and startling-to know
how many men and women put them
selves in an early grave By going the
pace that kills.

,old saying. It's true, too. in a sense.
But in another sense it most certainly
isn't true. For there is something
new every time New Years day comes
around.
There are several things that are
new at New Years beside the New
Year. There's new chance. There's
new responsibility. There's a new
balance in the Bank of Time. There's
a new bank book. So. what will the
check stubs show at the end Of the
