damned Lives

healthy idea goes askew in the deep,
hidden currents of the spirit. Then,
as the drive of experience comes
along, the forces jam. THE ONE
EXPERIENCE THAT WENT AS.
KEW JAMS ALL THE REST.
Often it starts in childhood, and
when wreckage occurs in adult life,
the original mishap has been forgotten.
1t takes an expert then to search the
jam and dislodge the one obstructive
element that is damming up the life.
That is what happened to Myrd.
When Myra was n child she had an
older sister who was much prettier
and more charming than she was. Be
ing only a little girl, Myra was nat
urally often overlooked in favor of her
sister. No one thought Myra noticed
Or minded. But Myra minded ter
ribly. She minded so much that the
hurt Of it went into the very roots OF
her childish heart and started tan
gle of jealousy and suspicion. That
tangle has never been dissolved. 1t
has lodged there and all her life has
damned against it. 1t will always
generate trouble for her until some
wise hand finds and removes it.
Have you a jam in YOUR life:
What's causing it? Some old hurt
Some hidden greed or cOnceitT Envy
or fear?

Yes or No?

1. Can black bears swim?
2. The word "lemur" comes from
the Latin word for ghost. Was
there any reason for giving such
a name to IN animal?
3. Do birds often soar in cloudy
weather?
4. Is anything known of the cause
of the high rate of corrosion in the
metals involved in the distillation OF
petroleum?
Answers to these questions may be
found:
1. Yes. Black bears can swim and
often take refuge in lakes or streams
during forest fires.
.. Yes, The lemur received its
name, meaning ghost, because Of its
enormous eyes and its habit of going
about at night.
H. 3. No. If the sun is obscurcd the
rising current of warm air which lifts
a soaring bird stops and the birds
have to Zap their wings.
4. Yes. At high temperatures the
sulphur released from the crude oil
causes rapid rate Of corrosion, or
breaking down Of the salt so often
present causes the formation of other
corrosive substances.

Meditations of
a Wife
By Helen Rowland

We Humans.
Tkree-duarters Of the time a man
spends with his wife, he's asleep
and the rest. he is only half awake.
Alas. Il the average man in his
loyemaking would only display hair
the dclicacy, the tact and the savoir
faire of the average bootlegger!
The perfect lover is one who pos
scsses that irresistible blend of profess
sional skill and amateur enthusiasm
which carries you off your feet but,
WHERE will you find one like that,
nowadays!
It's hard to stay ci1ums with
married woman; either her husband
doesn't like you, and spoils it all
or he DOES like you, and she spells
it all.
Cynicism is the smoked glass
through which a bachelor looks at
all women, in order TO avoid being
dazzled by any one Of them.
A woman tanners heart will run
into any mold you hke-but, alas.
it will never keep it's shape for more
than a day or two.
In the movies, man never cuts
himself while shaving, a woman can
pack for a trip TO Europe in twenty
seconds, everybody gets the right
number the moment he picks up the
telephone, and no matter how many
times she may be rescued from drown-
ing. a girls hair never comes out OF
curl. Isn't life wonderful!
1t is Just as foolish to forswear
romance and love because they so
seldom last, as it is TO forswear
flowers because they are bound to
fade.
The average man goes through life
with one hand stretched out to catch
the woman who is leading him a
chase and the other stretched back
to ward off the woman who is trying
| to catch him.
Platonic fricndship-Love, without
| benefit of kisses.

this harmless mixture works.
The result, after the mixture is
washed off the face, is infinitely

trifling-less than three cenets per

The Rhyming
Optimist
Sometimes.
By Aline Michaelis

Dull days, dull ways, life is a hum
drum thing; trimming with labor the
long years go, youth and its joys take
wing. Striving daily after mans sim
pie needs, here is no place for the val
liant soul doing earth's shining deeds.
Toiling ever, so do the drab years
pass; little of time for the glow of
stars deep in the still lakes glass.
Still we strangely find in a twilight
hour, something of fragrance that how
ers still over youths dropping flower.
Still through pale dawns the simmer
of romance crccps, stirring the beauty
we thought had died, waking the past
that sleeps. So through dull days pa
ticntly on we plod, warmed by the
flame of life we sense under the cheer
less clod For We, strangely, live for
life's songs and rhymes that, by the
grace of the flying years, come to our
souls sometimes.

save her baby, which she was protect

Thetcalf was in the middle of the
circle which the mother made by
swimming around and around and
Tipping her flukes at the marauder.
Such a Splashing you never saw!
They were coming nearer to us
now and we were on our toes with
excitement.
"Ohw gasped Bobby, II hope it
doesn't get the baby"

brighten a whale So" l exclaimed.
"She's driving it off," shouted the
sailor. Look It's coming our way!'
With huge leap out of the water
that mother whale pounced on the
creature she was fighting and then
made straight toward our ship.

We stood by the rail hoping that
the cantain would steer his ship
nearer to the whale so that we could
get a good look at it. But that wasn't
necessary, for the whale was coming
right towards us.
Suddenly it veered its straight
course and circled around and we
could see The great splashes which the
huge fish was making with its flukes.
Just then a sailor came up TO see
the whale, too. He stood by and
could see by his face that he was
puzzled. In moment he said:
THAT whales acting funny"
I looked at him in surprise and
thought how wonderful it would be
to be able to tell whether or not a
whale was acting in a peculiar man
ner or not. l thought how nice it
would be to be on such familiar terms
with whales that you could tell
whether they were just out for quiet
swim or if something unusual was
happening.
