OVER LIES HURDLES
Advantage of Being a Good Listener.
BY LOUIS E. BISCH
Copyright. 1925. Premier synd.. Inc.

. Timidity, you must remember,
often bottles up real worthwhile
ideas!
OF course, one can overdo listen
ing, as well as anything else.
There are hosts of people who
certainly are not worth listening to.
But even these boresome people
can be listened to to the end, at
least once. One can be courteous
in any case.
Professional men such as doctors
or lawyers or clergymen are usual
ly good listeners.
They have to be. Their work
demands it. They could not carry
on their personal contacts success
fully, they coud not enter into the
problems of other peoples lives
with understanding, if they did
not.
Business men often are good
listeners also.
But too frequently they make
snap judgments as to whether it is
worth their while to listen or not.
Let everyone practice listening!
1t pays!

Rejuvenated Pianos
Ohm HAYS HAMMOND, JR.,

r Ohm HAYS HAMMOND, JR., apparently aspires
to become the Stomach of music He has grated
into the piano device which produces the Sob
bing notes of the saxophone thus bringing the stadly
respectable old instrument into active competition with
jazz instruments generally.
The experiment will be worth listening to, once at
least 1t is difficult to teach old dog new tricks but
not impossible. With trap drums and saxophones radio
and Photographs the piano is having struggle to hold
its place in the modern home But if it can be made
one instrument orchestra of indefinite elasticity the

Freaks Of Nature

The herring gull has probably
made more trips across the ocean
than the best known globe trotter.
1t goes by the same route, too, be.
cause it follows the ocean liners
from one side of the Atlantic to the
other. The gullS have become so
used to feeding on refuse thrown
overheard that they show little fear
of the ships or the people on them.
The gull has also proved itself to
have more than the common intelli-
sence Of most birds. II it cannot
break a clam or musscl shell it
will carry it into the air and drop
it on a rock. If the first attempt
does not break the shell, it will
carry it up higher and drop it
again.

Books for the Blind

T OUIS BRAILLE, the blind French savant who in
vented the system of raised point printing en-
ablng the blind to read with their finger tips
was recently honored in Paris
His memory is to be perpetuated by permanent
organization which will carry the work of printing
Braille system books for the sightless.
Pericles said to the ancient Greeks that brave
deeds deserved acts and not words in their memory
The real memorial to a great man is the carrying
forward the work that made him great.
This tribute to the humble great man, who brought
so much sunshine to the sightless is finer homage
than any monument in marble could ever be-

THEOLDBUS By Reed Hsu.ti.

We've got red bus, and it creaks and it quivers,
1t grosns and it wabbles but say never mind!
We pile into it, and dad opens the throttle
And leaves all and worries behind.
On Saturday dad gives it quick overhaulng;
He tightens the bolts, cleans the carbon out-say.
The fairly jumps when it starts out Sunday,
As though it were glad to be out and away
We dash to the beaches, the mountains the desert;
Our grandma goes with us, and when get back
She's chockfu of smiles and she's bubblng with laughter
And oftentimcs makes what call the smart crack!
The old bus has bunons and chilblans, neuritis,
Has dandruff, and asthma but each Of knows
That when it is time for the bus to be moving
1t hestates? Never! 1t just up and goes
The others may have their swell and their coaches
don't knock those cars for they're all mighty good.
You think we'd exchange old boss for monster,
soft purring mammoth? You're darn right would

Many a beautiful, sunshiny day
has been spoiled for you because
you have a splitting headache. Your
ability to perform your daily task
may be impaired by a dull, nagging,
distracting ache in the forehead or
the back Of the neck.

Voices of the Dead

T N ENGLAND a broadcasting company in co-opera-
ton with photograph firm will send out through
the ether, the voices of prominent personages who
have been dead for years
Among them will be the voice of Theodore Roose-
welt.
This item is interesting but relatively unimportant
1t was not Roosevelt's voice that made him the
great man that he 1t his fighting spirit and
his aggressive idealism and his belief in democracy
If these could be transmitted through the ether
by radio the item would be important indeed

Bright Light Wives

NINA BASQUETTE, former Broadway dancing
m star, keeping house for her husband in the West
says:
"A man marries because he wants a wife, not be-
cause he wants dancer"
The young lady is right.
The dancer may attract but it is the wife that holds
A coquettish smile is complete flop when there is
nothing ready at mealtime.
1t isn't the initial attraction but the upkeep that
most young ladies of the chorus find hard

In the case Of a young man who
is living alone and who wants to
meet a nice girl you can under
stand il. He cannot possibly meet
a nice girl by remaining in his hall
bedroom, alone. 1t is the same with
the girl who is living alone. She
wants TO meet a nice boy and she
knows that she cannot meet him I'M
less she goes out.
They both go out to overcome
their linesomeness. This you can
understand because it is the working
Of the most primitive law Of nature.
When thls law does not function
properly, much unhappiness en-.
sues.
But-and here you have the con-
undFum 49, when, finally, the nice
boy and the nice girl meet, are they

The older folk are nearly as bad.
the development Of the home seems
to have become less and less i'm
portant in their eyes. They, too,
want TO 20 out. They can give no
intelligent explanation for this crav-
ing to 20 to crowded places. They
feel that they are missing something
By staying at home. They want
10 be in touch with other peO-
pie.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-09-22

We are naturally gregarious, we
human beings. We love. TO herd
together. We have within US the
same instinct which COWS and
geese and herring possess. We
want to be with the crowd and
want to feel around US the touch,
the comnotion ard the activities
Of others. We hate 10 be alone.
Despite the fact that we are en-
dowed, above all other animal
creatures, with the power TO think
along logical lines and to develop
our owa selves. we always feel the
Juggling of the crowd in our in
most soul. We want to get out and
mingle with the others.
With young people this feeling is
positively an obsession. Make the
home as attractive as possible, yet
the young folk want to go out. Point
out to them that the play which
the are going TO see is stupid, that
the picture which they want to see
is dreary or that the music which
is coming over the radio is better
than the music in the cabaret which
they are going to visit. 1t will
make no difference. They want to
go OUT.
And going out means to them
contact with life. They feel that
they cannot be abreast of the
times and cannot know what is
going On unless they can mingle
with their fellow creatures. This is
gregariousness. And biologists ap-
ply the word to ducks and sar-
dimes.
