Power of Momentum
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

By going too fast we sometimes
escape.
The automobile in the movie
thriller jumps the gap in the
broken bridge by the momentum of
its speed.
If it were travelling at a safe,
reasonable rate it would crash
through the gap.
In momentum there is power.
A fragile straw is shattered if you
throw it against piece of wood.
In the grip of a hurricane the mo-
mentum of its speed often stiffens
and drives a straw into a solid
board fence.
In every shaft-driven wheel there
is the dead point" 1t is the place
at which the shaft, the point where
it is attached to the wheel, and
the center of the wheel, are all in
line. If the wheel comes to stop
at this point it has to be turned be-
yond it before the engine can begin
to turn it.
At the dead point no amount Of
power from the shaft can turn the
wheel. In it's revolution only mo.
mentum can carry it past.
On thine cracking ice it is mo-
mentum that carries the skater over
in safety. The greater the momen.
tum the less the danger of breaking
through.
In all fields Of human activity
also is seen the power of momen-
tim

THE DREAMER By Reed Hse.ti.

GA DREAMER" the wide world will tell you;
n His hard, common gone TO smash;
He dreams, but he dreams Of those follies
Sans value in hard common cash."
The days of his youth expended
In building bright visions for those
Enveloped in fog Of misfortune
And weighted with workadsy woes.
A dreamer but ah, he has fashioned
Those thoughts that take hold Of the heart
That wipe away dread Of the future
And give 20 the failure a start
A dreamer, alb yes; in his dreamngs
He breaks down the locks and the bars
And walks in the highway Of glory;
He is trcadisy the path TO the stars.

SAN ANTONIO,
SEPT. 80, 1925

In business it is constantly recog-
nized.
When a big newspaper publisher
wants to start a paper in new
place he rarely begins an entirely
new sheet. Rather he buys an old
paper and makes it what he wants.
The name of an industrial con-
Germ is Of value because the mo-
mentum gained by the past policy
carries on in the minds of the peo-
pie.
The beginning always requires an
added effort. To start the ball roll
ing is the hard part.
In your work, doing the same
thing over and over gives you a
certain momentum that makes the
task easier as you go on. One who
has "grown old in the harness" is
able to do the work with half the
effort the beginner expends.
When you feel discouraged at
failure to gain proficiency or recos-
milton at once. remember it takes
time. to gain momentum.
The one whose skill or reputation
you envy nine times out of ten is
being helped by the power of mo-
mentum gained from years of prac-
tice.
Momentum is sort Of second
wind" which comes to give added
strength only to those who keep
working. -.

A correspondent in California
sends in a curious, and interesting
question. (which word in the Eng
lish language, he asks, do you
consider the best and most i'm
portant?'
1t is a curious question because
you wonder why n human mind
should ever waste its time in weigh
ing the relative value of words when
there are so many more important
things to do in the shortness of life.
1t is interesting because, as you
analyze it, so many thoughts crowd
into your mind.
No word is either better or more
important than another. The only
value in words lies in the thought
which they represent. Many thoughts
are vague. Many people use the
same words with different thoughts
in their mind.

The easy life in the Garden of Eden undoubtedly

Adam became ordinary mortal when he was expelled

The thought represented by the
word truth" is, perhaps, the great
est thought that the human mind
has thus far attained. 1t represents
all that there is Of human intelli-
gencc. 1t suggests desire for truth,
the love of truth, the search for
truth. This is an unselfish atti-
tude of the mind. And the mind is
all that we have to make us su-
perior to caterpillars.
The thought represented By the
word love" is, from this stand
point, an inferior thought. In its
principal application it expresses a
desire of the flesh which we share
with every COW and camel. In its
religious sense it is a selfish thought

courts will pronounce divorce In
favor of Mrs. Valentino on the usual
ground of grave insults"
The refusal of husband to live
with his wife is considered by the
Paris divorce mill as the gravest IN.
suit q man can offer to woman, ana
that is exactly what Rudy Valentino
specifically declares in a letter to his
wife,
The matter has been kept a strict
secret until now only because up to a
few days before Mrs. Valentino sailed
for New York there was still slight
hope that matters could be arranged.
VACATION NOT so BAD.
Having left hollywood in huff
the former Natachn Rambova re-
manned firm in her resolution for
one-year matrimonial vacation, just
two weeks too long. When she at last
relented, Valentino had himself de-
cided that the marital vacation was
not so bad after all and consequently
declined to resume his marital duties.
As soon as his letter was received
some three weeks ago Mrs. Valentino
decided to take her case to court.
Nothing can be done, however, until
Valentino himself is d:.l;, served with
summons, selects Paris domicile,
and verbally, or by refusing to appear
before magistrate, signifies his resO-
luton never again to share the domi-
Gle of his wife.
Confronting judge will take place
at the beginning of December. Valcn-
tino is scheduled to arrive here about
November %, only few days ahead
of the return of his wife who will
then take possession of her new apart
ment in Boulevard Courcelles where
she will reside permanently with the
Hudnuts.
NO MONEY CLAIMS.
No financial claims of any sort will
be contained in the divorce application
filed by Mrs. Valentino.
The case will be tried in Camera,
according to the usual procedure. Pres
ent plans include the personal appear
ance of Valentino before the judge,
together with his wife, and verbally
repeating his written decision to never
again resume marital life with his
wife.
This is the only formality required
by law to constitute formal case.
Should Valentino change his mind and
ignore the judges summons the de-
cree will be handed down against him
just the same, the only difference
being that the case will be pronounced
as undefended.
