Mrs. Coney, venerable and high
tly esteemed lady, died yesterday

Mr.. E. y. Stewart was among

FORTUNATE

Elizabeth Bruce a business
woman, was dissatisfied with the
lunches offered her by Boston
restaurants. On the theory that if
you want thing done satisfac-
torily, you have to do it yourself,
she started her own restaurant to
feed herself and other business
women.
That was 10 years ago. Now she
feed 1000 girls daily. A Boston
paper estimates her profits at $780,
900 a year.
Success seems to be waiting in so
many different and unexpected
places, it's a wonder SO few people
find it. The trick is to find a pub
lie want, then satisfy it.

dollars is equivalent to only about
$4,000 of pre-war income, due to
.shrunken buying power of the dol

than that in the old days.

You needn't worry about money.

The good old days beat modern
life, according to Oliver Fournier,
celebrating his eightieth birthday
in North Attleboro, Mass. He says
he'd rather have the old gray mare
and the cider served at barn dances
than the flivver and high-power
tleweter served at roadhou- $.
He belongs to the old generation
And each generatin thinks it's bet
ter than any before or any to come.
It's the Philosophical attitude. We
have to kid ourselves consider

The most effective rule for
preventing accidents is: Give
the car on your right the right

This is a rule easy to remem-
Der and easy to obey. Stand on
one Of the street corners of the
business section of Waycross for
thirty minutes and see for your
self how many near collisions
occure because of the confusion
in the minds of the drivers as to
which one has the right of way.
At the end of thirty minutes
you will be thoroughly convinced
that the general adoption of
