A WOMAN OBSESSED
BY CAROLYN BEECHER

What has gone before.-Bruce Con-
ways wealthy father cuts him off because
of his elopement with Muriel Danger
field before finishing college. Muriel
proves to be not only poor housewife
but intensely jealous and unsympathetic
with the fun-loving nature of her hus-
band. She endeavors to prevent rec
onciliation with his father because of her
jealousy and insults his friends. After
the death of their infant she becomes
even more exacting. Bruce makes prog
ress in his work and his father and Mu-
rieI's younger sister, June, visit them.
Muriel is cold to both. Bruce, while
walking late one evening, rescues
drowning woman and takes her to her
home in a none too reputable section,
and decides to say nothing about it to his
wife. Later he meets the girl, Lulu
Hammond, and talks with her. Mural
is so moody Bruce persuades her to go
to her home for a change, and Bruce
takes dinner with his friends, the Ma
sons.-Now go on with the story.

ON BEING LATE
By DR.. Frank Crane

BY DIR. FRANK crane
There are some people who are usually late
and think it is a joke.
1t IS not.
1t is an insult.
The other day William F. Hoppe and
young Jake Schaefer were to play a match
game of billiards for the championship OF
the world. The game was to be played in the
grand ballroom of the Hotel Pennsylvania in
New York and had been scheduled to start
promptly at o'clock.
But at that hour" says the press report,
''there were only couple of hundred specta-
tors present, with the crowd filtering slowly
in. 1t was deemed advisable not to start
until most of the crowd had been seated. SO
for more than twenty minutes Hoppe and
Schaeffer who had arrived on time, were
compelled to sit twiddling their thumbs. 1t
was terrific strain which showed plainly on
the faces of both men as they were called
finally to the table. Schaeffer was pale as a
sheet and Hopes cheeks were flushed as
they seldom have been before"
Whether you think a game of billiards Is
worth while or not, at least you must recog
nize that here were two men facing one OF
the big crises of their lives, who were in
jured and annoyed by the negligence and in
difference of lot of lazy people who were
not on time.
Being late usually goes with selfshness of
the ingrained and unconscious kind.
When we make an engagement to meet
man at 8 p. m. and we do not arrive until
3:15 it is usually because we have not imagi-
nation enough to realize his irritation during
those fifteen minutes.
When we come into the theater or lecture
room after all others are seated and the per-
Torrance has commenced, we are thinking
only of ourselves and taking no consideration
of those whom we annoy.
We are deficient in capacity to put our
selves in the place of others, which is the
very foundation of decency.
Many of US do not care much whether we
are moral or not, but almost everybody wants
to be agreeable as far as possible; that is,
he wants others to think well of him. And
one of the surest ways to be universally de-
tested is to acquire the reputation of keeping
everybody waiting.
If there is human being who likes to
wait have never CHANGED to meet him.
But there are few of us that have not been
kept waiting at one time or another; few
indeed who can parallel the experience of
Louis XIV, lie Grand Monarche,' who came
down the steps of Versailles Palace one day
to take a ride and saw the carriage drive up
just he came to the curbstone
"Ah!" ''e said drawing on his gloves, Il
almost had to wait"

AS TO FIXED IDEAS
BV II. Addington Bruce

40 much has been said and written about
the harm done by fixed ideas that the
~ general tendency not unnatUrally is to
think of all fixed ideas as hurtful The fact
is that there are good fixed ideas as we'll as
bad ones.
And unquestionably the greatest need of our
time is to bring large numbers of people un-
der the influence of good fixed ideas
Certainly if it i, u bad thing to be subject
to a fixed idea which impels man, let us
say, to pass his days in idleness because of a
false belief that he is afflicted with some dire
disease, it obviously is a good thing to be I'M
PEELED by fixed idea of another sort to
earnest, creative activity. Nor can it be
doubted that the more firmly such fixed idea
takes possession of the mind the better will
be the result both to the individual and to
society.
All around us are living illustrations of the
truth of this. Consider as typical instance
the case of Wilfred Grenfell.
Today DR. Grenfell S famous the world
over by reason of his self-sacrifclng labors
for the lonely folk of Labrador. His name
will go down in history as that of one of the
truly great altruists of the twentieth century
and all because he gave himself whole
heartedly to the dominance of splendid liked
idea
That idea first presented itself to him wheni
as a young physician, he one evening CHANGED
TO attend a religious meeting in London:
Dwight L. Moody was the speaker at that
meeting, and his theme the happiness men
might win by serving God through good
works for their feldw-men.
DR.. Greenfield did not merely acquiesce, and
then, after the meeting, turn his attention to
other things and forget all about Moody's
words He pondered them as he walked nome,
and in the days that followed he often thought
of them.
In other words he adopted precisely the
course by which men too often make ready
their minds for possession by bad fixed ideas.
Only in this case the preparation was for &C
ceptance of q good idea which had as its
product, first, the establishing of medical
mission to the fishermen of the North Sea,
and later, the founding of the Labrador mis-
sion for which Dr. Grenfell will always be re-
membered.
AS with him so with thousands OF other
men and women who have benefited the world
through activities to which they were spurred
by good fixed ideas. And i. is noteworthy
that when good ideas do become fixed in the
mind there is not only a great determination
to serve and to achieve, but an actual hel3A->
ening of the ability to serve and achieve
Good fixed ideas, that is to say, increase
human energy as truly as bad fixed ideas &C
crease it. Everybody knows how the health
suffers when bad ideas are dominant. Heath,
vigor, power, all are enhanced by good fixed
ideas.
Which OF itself should be sufficient reason
for acceptance by everybody of good fixed
ideas. And anybody can both possess and be
possessed by good fixed ideas if he will but
open his mind to them as DR.. Grenfell did.
OF this, more another day.

the only consular salaries provided by law.
For the most part the United States, like
other nations, started by appointing unpaid
consuls from among American merchants re-
siding abroad, or, if they were sent from
home, by permitting them to enter business
as means of insuring support.

@. Should Easter lily bulbs be kept over
for another year?-C. f. T.
A. 1t is never advisable to hold Easter lily
bulbs over for another year of house culture.
They may be planted in the garden, but for
forcing fresh, vigorous bulbs should be Sc
cured each year.
O. Why are theater passes called annie
Oakeys?"-J. w.

gia can do so and ought to do so without
further legislative delays.
While at least three-fourths of the prob
lem of reforestation, according to Secretary
Wallace of the national department OF agri-
culture, is one of protection against fire,
there are other essential measures Of conser-
Walton. Among these are: 1.-The extern
sion of public ownership of forest land. At
present the national forest reserves have
77.6 million acres of forest-growing land;
State reserves and purchases, IL million
600 acres. The Secretary thinks that the
public holdings of TIMBER growing lands
ought to be increased to about 1870 100000
acres. 2.-Adjustment of taxation on forest
lands in accordance with the longtime ma
ture of the crop. Taxation heretofore has
commonly placed premium on the rapid
cutting of standing timber and a penalty on
its replacement" Other aids recommended
by the national authorities are: artificial
eighty-one million acres will be necessary;
systematic commercial timber growing by
private owners, chiefly through natural re-
education OF land owners in
timber growing; and extended governmental
research into timber production and utiliza-
ton. 1t is the right, and may become the
duty of government to regulate, within rea-
sonable limits, the cutting of timber of pri-
vately owned lands and to require that they
be kept in a reproductive condition. First, |
however, "they are entitled to insurance
against fire and to certainty of sensible and
uniform taxation" Enlightened self-interest
then may be depended upon to persuade in
telligent forest owners to apply the principles
and practices of conservation to their hold
ings.
On the basis of these recommendations,
which represent the best of practical judg-
ment combined with scientific knowledge and |
regard for the common veal, Georgia should |
work out adequate policy of forest pro-
lection. Special attention should be given |
to fires and to taxation as constituting the
problems on which depend he prevention of /
enormous wastes and the encouragement of
timber growing. Municipal forests, the value |
of which was recognized in Europe long ago, |
are becoming continually more. appreciated |
and more important in America. No Geor-
gia town or city of consequence should fail |
to provide itself with such an asset Nor
should any community of the State, urban or
rural, be without active membership in the
Georgia Forestry Association. These inter-
ests, involving as they do the broadest pros
perity Of the people, both now and in years
far ahead, lay rightful and urgent claim to
legislative action and to the support of good
citizens ALL

DISILLUSIONMENT
BY BERTON BRALEY

~ ON, in the worlds confusions,
Strive ever to retain
- Your golden-hued illusions,
Don't let their glamor wane;
Though life be harsh and drastic
Don't let the glamour wane;
Stay blithe, enthusiastic,
But-keep your fingers crossed!
Don't let your trust grow dim in
The well-known human race,
Believe in men and women
AS creatures full of grace;
Don't be a sour dyspeptic
Who thinks the worlds frost,
Refuse to be a skeptic,
But--keep our fingers crossed!
Thus when grim fate denies you
The dreams you may have had,
1t will not much surprise you /
And you won't feel so bad;
Through every cataclysm
BY which you may be tossed.
Retain your optimism,
But-keep your fingers crossed!
