Life's Hurdles
By L. E. Bisch

Man is largely master of his own
destiny.
Therefore he can set ont to choose
for himself the plans on which be
wishes to live!
One can live tramp-like existence,
no ambition, no plan Of work, no CO.
herence Of thought, no worry over to-
morrow.
What would be living on a low
plane?
Then one can live on the plane Of
the averagel
Average means to be snug, COM
plaeent, content.
The average is glad he's living and
he's thankful for what he's got.
The average does not bother to in
quire whether he could better himself
il he tried.
The average pays the premiums on
a small life and disability insurance
and feels that then his duty is ended.
The average thinks its wrong to be
hoping and wishing for better things.
But why not live on a plane Of life
above the average?
Why not seek life that is inspir-
ing and uplifting?
Why not keep company with the
few and exceptional who have vision,
who are dissatisfied with their lot,
and who are forever planning and
working to make things better for
themselves as well as for all man
kind?
No life is smooth and easy all the
time.
All life has hazards.
Everybody has ups and downs.
You're bound to be down in the
mouth" at least part Of the time no
matter at which level you may live.
Then why not live on the highest
level you can?
Why not make life a thrilling ad-
venture?
Why not make your life varied and
rich in experience?
You can II you will!
You have only to choose and work
harder and better than the next man !!
Life at tho top is rare and piquant.
At the top your panorama is far
flung.
At the top you possess tremendous
advantages over those at the lower
levels
Then why not try for itl

Long Distance Shining
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

Yet such long distance shining ear
ries on down through helpless sub
ordinates with a. real q cruelty % 70
suits from individual inhumanity.
There is an old saying that much
less meat would BE- eaten II the in-
dividud had to kill the animal be
ate.
Few people would think Of killing
. lamb, though they eat lamb chops,
thus from distance causing the thing
they would shrink from doing thcm-
selves to be done.
In lynching no one person Is com.
hitting the act, but each individual is
removed by q diffusion of response
bility. If the individual were aione
he would hesitate in extremes, Of
cruelty, but the feeling that he Is not
alone in doing the deed spurs him on
to the inhuman.
Tender-hearted women who CRY over
a poodle dog that trips over q carpet
will wear furs that were obtained by
the most ferine tortures TO far-away
animals. and feathers procured only
by heartless cruelty to distant birds.
Those who commit the actual deeils
of cruelty Justify themselves as mere
cogs In the machine, by saying as long
as the demand lasts il they do not do
them someone else will.
A person is responsible for his per-
sonal acts and also to certain ex-t
tent for his long-distance SHINING.

In a Southern city recently garbage
collectors have found 4 number of
live kittens wrapped in the paper they
were taking to the incinerating plant.
At the plant when an employee was
about to throw a bundle of wrapper
paper into the crematory he felt q
movement and found q live kitten in
one bundle.
Few people in America are 80 lost
TO human kindness as to throw .
trusting, soft-furred kitten into a
blazing fire. None of the women who
put the kittens in the paper would
have thought of throwing them into
the fire themselves.
They were put in the paper, they
disappeared, and that was the last
seen of them. Because they went
through several hands. the women did
not feel full responsibility for the
act.

Most Of the inhumanities and cruel
ties that occur in modern life may be
traced to long-distance SHINING.
When a board of directors of big
corporation decides upon a policy mat
will grind down employees to less than
a living wage or puts children to
work at a time when it stunts both
body and mind, no one man feels Who'll
ly responsible. Also they are so far

Undue Exposure
By Royal S. Copeland,


4 few weeks ago I took a drive
with a successful doctor, a longtime
friend OF mine. 1t happened to be one
OF the first cold days at the beginning
Of winter.
Ny doctor friend growled: well,
wen be hearing now about the health
fuiness of cold, snappy weather! Most
folks no to the idea that such wealth
er is good for us and that we thrive
in consequence Of it"
He went on with his TRADE against
the "idiotic popular ideas" "Show
me a temperature chart with one day
of zero weather Immediately follow
ing another zero day, and I'll show
you q marked fall in the health Of the
community" Such was the verdict Of
my friend. ---..-
What can we do to prevent such
results?" / asked.
Have everybody dress according to
the thermometer, guard against ex-
posure-indoors and out-and never
so 10 bed with cold feet. That is the
remedy" be replied.
One reason I dread the coal famine
is because the houses go cold. II is
just as easy TO get a terrible cold
indoors as out in the weather. To
get chilled, whether in your own par
lor or on the street, is not good for
you, and one place of exposure is just
as bad as the other.
Lots Of persons, women particular
ly, have naturally cold feet-that is,
they feel cold to the touch. But l
do not refer TO coldness Of this degree.
Whei / speak Of cold feet mean
the uncomfortable or painful chilli
ness which follows exposure to con-
tinued low temperature.
You must use your head On all
such matters. Don't 20 to extremes.
Guard against the very dangerous ex-
IRENE of extremely cold weather. Ny
friends long experience has taught
him a thing which everybody should
know.
Indoor workers who spend but a
little while each day in the cold out
of-doors should have heavy overcoats
or wraps, and other means Of protec-
tion against that terrible chilling
which cuts 20 the bone. II may seem
unnecessary to take precautions
against q few minutes or an hour Of
cold air. On the contrary it is very
foolish not 20 do it.
Please don't 30 TO the other extreme
and get no fresh air at all. That is
even worse than the chilling. You
need the oxygen just os much as in
tho sumner-Ihore indeed. But in
getting fresh air, day or night. keep
the body, the feet and the hands
warm. Then you will avoid illness.

Here we are treading upon sacred
ground. Mr.. Wayne B. Wheeler, gen.
eral counsel Of the Anti-Saloon
League, is a veritahle watchdog Of
prohibition enforcement. He watches
everything that goes on.
When a bootlegger is sent to Jail
he makes a statement to encourage
the official who sent the bootlegger to
jail. When someone suggests that the
yolstead law is a failure he makes a
statement denouncing the unfortunate
one who made the statement, produces
figures to prove that the statement is
false and suggests-more or less indi-
rectly-that the maker Of the state
ment is in the employ of or in sympa-
thy with the liquor interests or the
criminal world.
Well, as long as we have taken tho
first plunge and encroached upon this
sacred ground, let's jump on it with
both feet.
The laws of the United States are
not dependent for their enforcement
upon private individuals, no matter
by whom they are employed or how
much money they receive for their eff
forts. Mr.. Wheeler gets a salary from
nm organization which is deeply in
terested in the enforce m n t
Of the eighteenth amendment. The
violation OF other amendments does
not interest him so much.
The volstead law is being violated
upon every side. This is wrong. Ev-
cry law should be obeyed and 1t IS
the duty of public officials to enforce
every Law. That is why we elect and
appoint and pay public officials.
Sometimes, however, the wide
spread violation Of law assumes the
nature Of a silent revolution against
the existence of the law. II then be-
comes the duty of the government to
give the utmost serious thought to the
situation. to decide whether it is wiser
to enforce the law at all hazards and
with ruthless disregard of the conse-
auences or whether it is wiser to modi-
fy or repeal or change the law.
In the former event it may
eventually become necessary to call
upon the army and the navy to en-
force the law, to shoot those who dis
obey it and to stamp out individual
rebellion with an iron heel, be the cost
what it may.
In the latter event, clear, painstak-
ing and unbiased thought is necessary.

Something to Think About

A referendum may be desirable. a

and non-drinking nations might sven
help.

Mr.. Wayne B. Wheeler does not help.
His approval or condemnation of pub
lie officials does not help. IL there is
sufficient merit in absolute prohibition
to enable 1t to survive the onslaughs
against 1t, Mr.. Wheelers flood OF
statements and criticisms and attacks
merely postpones the day of prohibi-
TONS victory.
Temperance in all personal habits
is legitimate subject for churches to
preach. Their field is the pulpit, edu-
cational systems and personal contact
with their believers.
Prohibition Is q political and eco
nomic question. 1t involves so many
people who do not belong to any
church that no church has the right to
coerce them. 1t is matter for all the
people to settle, through their organ
lied government. Propagandists, for
both sides, should be compelled to keep
their hands off.
The writer will make an honest con-
fcssion; he has a horror of all forms
of prohibition because they are tyran'
nical. He loves freedom and fears
that tyranny menaces 1t. He has an
equal horror Of the saloon, Of de-
bauchery in liquor and Of those brew
ers and distillers who. through poll
tics, fattened upon the public appetite.
He does not know how to provide
an innocent glass of beer. or wine for
those who want il, without opening
the flood-gates OF excess and dishon-
orable revenue. He thinks that this is
a problem worth studying because he
thinks that glass of beer or wine is
better for those who want il, than a
glass of ice water.
But, in the study OF this problem,
be does not believe that any church or
creed should take a hand. Neither
should any brewer or distiller. Above
all, be believes that people like Anti
Saloon Anderson and Mr.. Wayne b.
Wheeler, who ascribe criminal or sell
fish motives TO all who differ with
them and who abuse and harass pub
lie officials, should be suppressed.
There are good people on both sides
Of this question.
