Hear Plea To Make
Arr,iStice Legal Holiday

Eve thought. that we were fight
ing for certain principles, but the
people in some communities appar-
entity want to forget those things.
Our fellows want public sentiment
behind the day, so that people will
go back to those events of five
years ago-and not forget"
This was one of the statements
made by James l.. BOYLE of Water
vile. department adjutant of the
American Legion. at hearing be-
fore the committee on legal affairs
Thursday afternoon on the bill
making Armistice Day a legal holi-
dav in Maine.
The bill had many friends and no
opponents.
In fact. when the former service
men, representatives of the Legion
and Veterans of Foreign Wars,
were asked to express their sent-
ments by a rising vote. at the con-
clusion of the numerous speeches,
they were joined by attorneys who
were in the Senate chamber on
other business, by other spectators
and reporters.
The case for the proponents was
conducted by Perley II. Ford of
Sanford. department commander of
the American Legion. and the
speakers included Adjutant Bowie.

merchants throughout the state
are in favor of tho proper obser
vance of Armistice Day and they
are behind the soldiers of the
World War in their efforts to make
it legal holiday.
William S. Linnell of Portland

WHY FAIL?

Failing is a slow process. There is nothing sudden about
it like the collapse of a pin pricked balloon. OH no, 1t Is more
like the worm eaten core of perhaps the choicest looking apple.
Failure isn't one absolute fact, one special knife thrust IN
your side that opens the exhaust. Like the msldlous worm
failure creeps slowly. There is a lot inside OF it and a lot
back of it.
What is failure? Let's look at it.
Failure is fear; fear is always destructive. Failure Is a
letting down of ones pride and determination; that IS a
weakening of ones will. Failure is the rust OF indifference;
rust destroys. Failure is the spelling OF ones personality
with envy; envy poisons. Finally, failure is the price we all
paw when we don't keep our hearts in the right place ana
the blood in our veins red and beating.
Are you running away from the battle? Is your head
weary? Are your spirits dropping? Are you sitting down on
the jobY Is your attitude toward life and your work e4-
pressed bv an Indifferent shrug of the shoulders? Are your
ewes green, or blue and true? Whatever the trouble may be
don't forget that your heart is as good as the best but 1t
needs blood. air and sunshine to stimulate it; your mind Is as
keen as your partners but it needs enthusiasm 10 quicken IT,
One doesnt become a failure in one day, two days o. a

MAKING OVER" IS PART
OF GOOD DRESSING

Dressing well is not nearly so
much a matter of money as it is of
knowing how, and the knack of
making over one seasons clothes for
another is n of the chief assets.
This season the styles are peculiar
ly well adapted to the making over
process because they allow for three
distinct silhouettes. the long, straight
line of the past several seasons. of
extreme simplicity, the draperies and
the full-skirted models with much
trimming.
There are a few i~nexorable rules
TO follow in regard TO making over.
Never undertake to make over ma
terials that thorough cleaning. press
ing and turning do not make look
like new. A successful made over
never looks a made over. On the
other hand, it is amazing what can
be done with seemingly impossible
materials.
Always determine upon a model
that requires as little extra expense
as possible. 1t rarely pays TO buy
much that is new to go with what
is old, although there are exceptions
to this rule. Also choose a model
for reproduction that involves as
little cutting up of the original as
possible. Yet keep in mind the fact
that you can dare to be original with
used material when with new YOU
would hesitate TO experiment.
