Resentment and contentment are
natural enemies. They simply can
not get along together. One heart
cannot hold them both; for when one
enters the other must depart.
Resentment seldom redres e S
wrong. 1t is drag, a dead weight
hitched to the wheels of personal pro-
gress.
Biblical teaching condones right
eous anger, that wrath against un-
toward conduct or conditions which
eliminates in an effort to improve
them.
There is, however, general ten
dency among us to harbor an alto
gether different brand, one which can
not possibly claim the honor OF
scriptural sanction. This, the resent
ment which merely foments i'll will, is
the silliest of human frailties. And
the greediest. It feeds and feeds and
is never satisfied.
1t eats the sweetness of ones dis
position, creates crabbedness and be-
gets bitterness.
Vindictiveness usually goes with it,
hand in hand. Those who cherish one
are liable to coddle the other. Their
ruffled feelings seldom find the stroke
which soothes, and, lacking that in
ner grace which adjusts one to cir
cumstances they go about gathering
grouches, seeking opportunity to
square old scores, and spreading,
wherever they chance to be, spirit
ual cloud which sends the little gods

1901 employees OF P.
R.R. ARE STOCKHOLDERS
Stock Acquired Through Facilities
For Thrift And Saving Afforded
By The Company

A total of 1901 workers on the
Pennsylvania Railroad System have
thus far become stockholders in the
Company through the facilities for
thrift and saving afforded by the
Employees Provideat & Loan Associa-
ton, which was organized voluntari-
ly, by the workers for these purposes.
The stock owned by these employees
now amounts to 1866 shares, which
lis in addition to the holdings acquir-
ed by employees through other chan
nels.
An analysis Of the purchases
made through the Provident and
Loan Association has just been COM
pleted. It discloses some of the in
teresting facts regarding stock pur-
chased by Pennsylvania Railroad
workers.
The most popular "block" Of stock
is two shares, 1888 employees having
become shareholders to that extent.
The next most numerous group is
composed Of the purchasers Of one
share, numbering 992. There are 549
employees who have purchased five
share lots, and $50. who have pur-
purchased ten-share lots. There are
fourteen who have become owners of
blocks of 100 shares or larger.
The heaviest-single purchase yet
made through the Provident & Loan
Association is a block of 1872 shares,
having par value of $4,000. This
was bought a few days ago by an en-

Great Demand Noted For
Ne.u Automobile Fuel

Virtually all service stations Of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey in this district are now equipped
to supply STANDARD" Ethyl gas, the
new automobile fuel produced by the
Genera Motors Chemical Company,
TO give more pep to motors. Since
the fuel has been generally introduced
here an unusually great demand for
it is reported.
Ethyl gas is a mixture which is
said to make the present day gaso-
line even more efficient than the high
test gasoline used in aeroplanes and
racing automobiles.
Tests have shown that the fuel
knocks heard when an engine, heavi-
carboned, is under load or quickly
accelerated, are eliminated when
Ethyl gas is used. These knocks"
not only make a noisy motor but are
warning signals that damage is being
caused to the power plant. .,.
Before Ethyl gas was placed oh
the market it was thoroughly tested
by the combined resources of General
Motors Corporation. Following its
passing these gruelling experiences,
the new fuel was further tested by
the large oil companies Of the coun-
try. The fact that the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey is merchan-
dising it in this district is indicative
of the findings of the oil concerns.
The Ethyl fluid is automatically
mixed with gasoline at the time of
purchase and enters the tank of the
automobile as STANDARD" Ethyl gas,
q light wine colored liquid.

Meanderings Of A Mildly Militant Mind
. Resentment versus Contentment

of cheer scurrying into the distance
Who has not, at one time or an.
other seen the social atmosphere OF
merry group suddenly change from
one Of the light-hearted joyousness
to heaviness and restraint by the at.
titude Of just one rcsentful and vim.
dictive person?
One vitrolic sentence sped with un-
mistakable intent and practiced skill
and there races through the heart OF
each one present tiny shaft of flame
which sears and smarts.
Have you ever noticed how such
persons are everlastingly tabulatine
offenses, and working their inventive
genius overtime preparing spit-balls
for some unchastened offender?
1t may be that he who strikes
should be struck back. The "eye for
an eye and tooth for a tooth" policy
has a considerable following among
those who suppositionally adhere to a
radically different creed.
But, as matter of wisdom, no one
who values life should waste one
precious moment of it harboring a
useless resentment.
Those who disregard this truth are
piling up work for Nemesis, the
teacher who needs no assistants and
takes no holidays.
The blind goddess knows every
touch which tips the scale land the
heart which persistently clings to re-
sentiment must let the blessing Of
contentment go.

ploye Of the Eastern Region who paid
for it in full.
The records show, however, that,
in general, purchases on the Install
ment plan are about twice as popular
as cash payments 1880 shares out
Of the 1866 having been purchased
on partial payments, and 6,6s6 shares
bought outright. When stock is
bought on the partial payment plan;
the employee may, at his option, have
the monthly payments deducted from
the payroll and many are availing
themselves Of this opportunity for
systematic saving.
Other activities of the Association
are showing healthy progress. There
are sos members who are purchasing
increased pensions through the Asso-
citation which, at the retiring age, will
yield them additional income over
and above the pension received under
the Company's regulations.
Savings accounts have been opened
by 1873 members, and their tota3
deposits now exceed $4,O0O,O0O. IN
January alone $376,772 was placed in
the Savings accounts, and of this
nearly $4,000 was paid in through
the various station agents, who are
authorized to receive such deposits.
Seventy-nine members are purch-
asing homes through loans granted
by the Association, and these loans
now total $275,435. A typical letter
received from home-buyer says:
1--WE moved into our new home
on February 9Th and like it very
much as it is a beautiful place and
makes us feel that life is worth
while.
"Again / wish to express my
thanks and hearty appreciation to
your association for making such a
pleasant and enjoyable residence pos
sible, for without the aid you have
given me, it would have been out Of
the question"

l6S-Hour Nonstop Florida
Record By Studebaker Car
Light-Six Already Driven $4,000
Miles, Rolls Up New Record In
Seven-Day Run.

A remarkable seven-day, 168-hour
nonstop run Of 5,1O1 miles, just
completed at Tampa Fla, by a Stu.
debaker Light-Six touring car, is
causing widespread comment among
motorists.
Eighteen drivers handled the ca,
during the run. Taking out the time
required for changing drivers, the
Light-Six actually covered the 3,10l
miles in lat hours. Gasoline con.
sumption averaged 81 miles gallon
and more than 300 miles per quart Of
oil were obtained.
Running continuously day in anc
day out, and forced to idle down con-
stantly in congested traffic, the cars
radiator thirsted for only one add.
tional teacup Of water.
The original owner, Monroe Laz.
arus of the Tampa Daily Times
drove the Studebaker for Is months
on daily express schedule over his
newspaper route for $4,000 miles. He
averaged $500 miles a month in the
fifteen months. His records show an
average of 20 miles per gallon Of gas;
eight tires were in service for A. 1000
miles, and his total cost of operation,
including every expense, was less
than five cents mile.
After $4,000 miles on this g1uelling
road work, the Studebaker was taken
in by the Peninsula Motors Corpora
ton, Tampa, who ran it 1000 miles,
making a total of $4,000 miles the car
had been run. Then, without tuning
up, the traded-in Studebaker was
started off on the record-breaking
run.
No adjustments were necessary
during the test. The motor and car
were in excellent running condition at
the termination of the nonstop flight.
This record, it is said, has never be-
fore been approached in the South.

What 1t SAVES you
We build 10000 cars

We build in model
