Lies Hurdle
BY L. E. Bisch

One thing we all possess in com
mon-in equal amounts-is Time!
Twenty.four hours a day serve rich
and poor alike!
Yet how often people deplore
their lack Of time! II have no
time IF only had the time
why haven't / more timc!" Don't
these wailings sound familiar?
Strange to say, the more Time a
person has the more likely he is to
complain of the lack Of it. Con-
trarywise, the buster a man is the
more Time does he seem to have at
his disposal.
Well-it is not so strange after
all when you come to think Of it.
Whenever you have more of
thing than you need the tendency is
to become spendthrift. You under
value it, you lose respect for it.
You waste it!
Again, whenever you come into
possession of something for nothing
when you don't work for it-you
also tend to become profilgate in
your attitude.
Now everybody inherits as his
rightful due all the Time there is.
Furthermore, he doesn't work for 1t.
In consequence he's likely to believe
that Time is the cheapest commod-
ity on the market.
That's why he squandcrs Time.
That's why he loses Time! That's
why he soon finds he hasn't enough
Time to 20 around.
The man who works for time is
the. one who respects it, never
wastes it, and has plenty Of it!
That's the busy man! That's
the man who is busy because he
knows how to use time. It's not
what you earn, it's what you spend
that counts! That's how the busy
may figures about Time!
Plan your Time, divide your
Time, conserve your Time.
Don't be too early for your ap-
pointments. That wastes Time the
same as when you are too late.
Give plenty of Time to every
tbing-try to give just the right
amount. Don't be too generous nor
too niggardly.
/ once heard Of an insurance
agent who, through his own efforts
and in spare time, acquired liber-
al education. While waiting for
prospects to interview him he al
ways studied q little--from the
books he carried around in his
pockets.
Everybody can make time if he
wants to! Nobody ought ever cry :
IF only ! had more Time!"

Country Before Party

A Iowa farmer, 81 years old tells us he has voted
~ in every presidential election since 1856, and that
he has invariably voted for the Republican candi-
date, beginning with John C. Fremont, who headed the
first ticket of the Republican party
In so marking his eighteen presidential ballots, he
has made the fallacious assumption that the Republican
candidate for President is invariably superior to the
Democratic candidate others like him have made the
equally gross of supposng that the Democrat is
invariably the best
The voter who holds mid course between these
extremes who examines candidates of all parties with
open mind is loyal to the responsibilities of his
citizenship He is in danger of subordnatng national
to party allegiance.

A young man from Connecticut
writes me in great distress, "Will
you kindly explain to me-" he says,
why I am tortured with hairs
growing in my neck, so that I have
to dig them out, thus causing PIN
pies and bleeding"
Ingrowing hairs, as they are
called, are among the common trou-
bles OF young manhood. Not only
do they involve the neck, but also
the hairy portions, of the face may
be affected.
There are two causative factors
close shaving and rubbing by the
collar. If you, have tendency to
ingrowing of the hairs, the neck
should not be shaved. The hair may
closely clipped, but that is all.
The next suggestion is to wear
a well-fitting collar. 1t is not nee
essary to have it unduly large, but
it should be fitted in such way
that its edge does not rub and dig
into the flesh. Too high a collar
may hurt the back of the neck and
irritate the front Of the neck, too.
Some men find it necessary to
have collars of different heights, al
ternating them by days. In this
way the continued irritation of one
line of the neck is avoided.
II your skin Is sensitive it will do
you harm to wear collars until their
edges are frayed and rough. Those
damage the tissues and prepare the
way for infection.
Some skins are easily infected.
The common germs, found in dirt
everywhere, may get into n scratch
or wound and cause quite a gather
ing Of pus. For this reason the
shirt and collar must be changed
often and the skin Of the neck fire..
quently scrubbed with soap and
water.
After a hair Is turned in, the spot
should not be tempered with,
squeezed, pricked, or cut. Leave it
alone until the the inflammation
has subsided, or until a cap Of puss

utilized the more their strength In
ereases.
This also applies to SKIN with the
body or the hands. Likewise agility
of mind increases with practice.
The more you use a typewriter
the greater your skill becomes. The
typewriter and piano may decrease
in value as they are used, but your
skill and ability will increase.
The principle of Laissez Faire, of
letting things alone, may apply to
the decreasers, but never to the in
creasers.
If you let your mind alone it
deteriorates and you become an
ignoramus. If you let your body
alone your muscles weaken and
your health breaks down. IL you
let your capacity for friendship ana
unselfish action alone they decrease
and you become a recluse.
The important things of life lie
in the class of the increasers.
They are the producers.
They are the final source of
mans power over his environment.
They can replace the decreasers
when they are worn out.
They are the part of life that
should be given first consideration.

Mental Retreat
ey "The Spectator"

Samuel johnson once advised:
SLet a man contrive TO have as
many retreats for his mind as he
can, as many things to which it can
fly from itself
The present, the real, the every
day easily tarnish. They get dull,
stale and uninteresting.
They pail unless some way for
the mind to escape from them is
devised.
~Ennui has made more gamblers
than svarice, is a saying of the
French.
Closely allied to our struggle to
find ourselves is our struggle to lose
ourselves.
This is attempted in legitimate
and ilIegitimate ways. The choice
of retreat for the mind is an i'm
portant consideration.
Love is a retreat. 1t offers a
chance TO forget yourself in an af-
lection for another.
Many people actually welcomed
the war with a sigh Of relief. 1t
broke the dull, dead monotony and
gave something big enough TO en-
gage all their attention.
Beauty offers a retreat. The
love and appreciation Of art, music,
poetry and the changing panorama
Of natures art gallery opens way
Of escape. Most men need to spend
more time with poems, songs, sun
sets and stars.
Politics is often used as Q re-
treat. The thick Of the fight, the
arguments, the uncertainty, can alb.
sorb all a mans attention and take
his mind away from himself.
Hobbies-gof, butterflies, carpen.
try, horses, rare volumes, gardening
or aviation-are also retreats.
Books, detective stories, mystery
stories, novels or serious volumes,
are retreats where you live for
time outside Of yourself
Puzzles and games likewise abb
serb your find and attention.
Working night and day with some
big ambition ahead in which you
sink everything in an effort Of real
ization, is a retreat. Work is often
one Of the best retreats. Josh Bill
lings once said: Il never knew
a man troubled with melancholy who
had lots TO do and did it,
Pioneering, yenturing into the I'M
known, whether in science or in the
exploration Of strange lands, is q
retreat.
So are dreams, the imagining Of a
longed for future.
II your mind is oppressed by the
present, if il seems TO be grinding
itself to pieces on the wheel Of rou-
tine, il needs to get away from it.

You need 70 provide for it more

FIGURES OF SPEECH
"Squaring the Circle"

the precise ratio between the dinm.
eter Of a circle and its circumfer-
ence.
It is well known, Of course, that
that ratio is very close to three
and one seventies, but it is impos-
sblc to calculate it exactly. It
is given sometimes as 3.14150. but
the number has been extended by
mathematicians to very many more
decimal places than that.
