LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CAR
TON CONTJNIIEn

Sometimes I think, Sgd, that WON
ems minds are much cleverer than
mems. They have to educate them
or rather cultivate them because, of
course, we have always had the mus
cular strength and they got their
own only by quicker thinking and
cleverer planning.
q confess / was much surprised
when Ruth said to me that Leslie
would not worry very much if she
did not have to give up the boy. l
always thought it would hurt her be-
syond everything to know of my pee
cadillos even though swear to you
] have been as straight as string
since our marriage.
q, Ruth however insisted that the
hest plan Of all was to make clean
breast of it. She made a somewhat
ambiguous remark when she said
this, that have been very curious
about.
VI She said, II have been having a
good deal of experience lately with
trying to keep things from other
people that are perfectly innocent in
themselves, because of being afraid
that the other person would be hurt.
1t seems to me, Jack, that when two
people are married or even friends,
il you canHot be truthful and per-
fectly straightforward and sincere
with each other you had better break
up altogether"
Do you suppose, Sgd, by any posi-
bility that Letlie is concerned in
that six thousand dollars? Really,
I'm rather ashamed of that question,
but all the while it keeps nagging
me. OF course, I knew positively
that even if Leslie did have six thou
sands dollars she did not want me
to know about, it would be nothing
derogatory to her. But cannot un-
derstand why Leslie should have six
thousand dollars she did not want
me- tos know about.
"a have explained II to myself this
way: probably she ld her father
for more; money sstkais she gave me

If LINCOLN HAD OWNED A RADIO

Abraham Lincoln boy and young man studied far
into the night by the Pickering light from fireplace doing
problems in arithmetic with chalk shovel Much of his
wisdom and future greatness originated there by the log fire
We sometimes wonder how much studying Lincoln would
have done at night if he had owned radio SET Being
time amusng himself with concerts coming mysteriousy
through the night
Radio in moderation is not waste of time It provides
the entertainment necessary for relaxation in which the
brains batteries recharge themselves All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy. But not dull all play and no
work.
Many hundreds of thousands of radio bugs devote the
entire evening to their receiving sets losing needed
sleep They enjoy it, but gets them nowhere Some of
their radio time could be protaby devoted to studying how
to become fitted to hold better and responsible Job
The answer in the majority of cases. of course that if
their spare time weren't monopozed by RADIO they'd be
wasting it some other way.
The writer pleads guilty to being of the people in
cned to radio to thereby wasting valuable
time that could protaby be used for reimbursement
But radio not alone in this matter. Back of it all is
fundamental law: Extremes meet and the best of things
can be carried to extremes.
Economy is virtue Carried to extremes to stinginess
1t vice. Liberaity is commendabe but developed to it's
logical conclusion makes spendthrft Wise the man
who works hard, foolish the who works too hard
Sharp dealing and cunning carried to extremes easily can
become dishonesty.
So it goes You like polite people, but there is such
thing as being annoying courteous Fine sentiments are
commentaries extreme tendency this way becomes sick
enng We're not that it is possible to be too good
though James Whitcomb Riley brilliantly described
certain man as a fellow without single redeeming vice.
Common is in moderation, sticking to the middle of
the road, carrying nothing to extremes
