in which we had been talking.

and there are some things you have /
said to my friend here, that must be

"Indeed!" She drew herself up in
an attitude of antagonism, land what
right have you to interfere, Miss
Mitchell ?"
"Just this, that the things of which
you have just accused SalIle have
| been absolutely without foundation.
That you do not know your husband;
/ that Sallie is as blameless for his
/ firtations as the strangest girl whom
he passes"
And how do yoE happen to know
SO much about him ?" she demanded.
Because l know your husband,
Mrs. Fisher. He sought amusement
with me before he forced his atfec-
lions upon Sallie. 1t would be the
same with any girl who had the
slightest acquaintance with Warren
Fisher. He has reached the age in
life where-at the swish of a skirt
rifed at facing the future without
last wild fling at Youth and it's as
thrilling adventure. Often when men
reach a susceptible forty, they feel
that if they can get the attention and
interest of young girl, that old age
is not an imminent condition. 1t S
usually no hard matter to find some
girl too, who'll believe them in their
beautiful love making. A man with
the experience of your husband, for
instance, can say things so beautiful
, ly, so personally, so different from
Z the compliments the boys our own

make you believe that you are unap-
preciated, that "she paused for words
to express her exact meaning, that

complished wonders Oh, I know,

Every good housekeeper realizes
the necessity of a Spring houseclean-
ing and a general cleanup week but
very few Of Us realize the necessity
of a mental housekeeping.
When housekeeping time comes
around we are astonished at the
amount of dirt and trash we have ac-
cumulated during the year. We Won
der where it all comes from. Every
year we religiOusly clean house with
every intention of throwing away all
the useless things. And every year
we just as religiously tuck it all away
again, thinking we may find use for it..
And it is the same way with our
minds. There's nothing remarkable
about the average persons mind, but
if it is given fair treatment it ought
to be as serviceable at fifty as it is at
twenty-five. 1t ought to furnish plen-
ty of space and an enthusiastic well
come for new ideas and fresh dreams.
And it will-if the space isn't taken
up with useless things until it re-
sembles the municipal dumping
grounds.
Probably you would never guess,
hearing US talk, how much rubbish
we have hidden away in the odd corn
ers of our mind. Broken ideas, old
memories, silly sentimentality-all
just about as useful in our modern
existence as the hideous souvenirs we
insist upon keeping in our homes.
We all know that there isn't any
space in a home for useless things,
but how many of us give a second
thought to the useless things we have
stored in our minds? Ideas we have

long outgrown, fragments of things
never understood, which we have al
ways intended to study, gossip we
never should have listened to, conceit,
envy, fancied Sights, hurt feelings,
scraps of this-scraps of that.
Just as we clutter up our home
with broken china, so do we clutter up
our mind and spoil our lives with
mental rubbish Every day we prom
Use Wen do away with it; yet, as the
year ends, we still lug it with US, al
ways a little more weary, discouraged
disconnected, weak and stupid be-
cause of the needless load.
This is the cleanup season of the
year. Yards are being raked clean of
everything that has accumulated dur
ing the winter months. Everything
from the attic to the cellar is being
cleared out.
Suppose for a change, we all start
the season out by cleaning out the
mental attic. Let's throw open the
windows and poke into those dark
corners. We have been crowding out
new thoughts and shutting off new
growth by an accumulation of trash
Let's start over again. Remember,
the living space of your mind is just
like the living space of your house. If
you fill it with unserviceable things
you can't fill it with things of service
and help to serve others. If you spend
your time sorting over and arranging
the mental junk you should have dis
carded years ago, you'll have no time
to SORT over and arrange new treas
ure.

easy, but you'll find, once you have
started, that It is more difficult than
housekeeping the home-and more
important. II you study it out little
YOU may find that much of your So
called bad luck and despair are
spriaging from some smouldering,
hidden refuse which should have been
cleared out years ago, and which is
communicating and killing the good
thing of your mind. Examine your
collection of Ideas, notions, prejudices
and opinions and see if some cf them
aren't d little shop worn. See if you
can't throw some Of hem away and
make room for new and brighter
ideas.

light that we now see, started on It's
way across that mighty expanse Of
space, sixteen hundred years ago,
travelling with the velocity of electTi-
city.
Betelguese is 240 million miles in
diameter. Let US compare this vol
TINE by some objects nearer our com
prehension: multiply our Earth by
one million and get somewhere near
the size Of our Sun, then multiply the
size of our Sun, by seventeen million
and get something near the size Of
this giant. If placed in the centre Of
what is now our sun, it would cover
all space, from there nearly TO the
orbit of Mars.
Such dimensions are beyond the
grasp of the unframed minde, there
fore we have endeavored by COMPARE
son, to give you pen picture Of this
mighty orb.
And yet there are some who will
read this, and many who viii not, that
I will imagine themselves TO be quite

But thanks to the brave souls that

Those are Our neighboring planets,
and though separated by millions and
billions of miles from US, and each

to other objects in the heavens, we

their own light, the same as our sun

Reds Villifcation

 False Death Report

By International Labor News Service.
 Chicago Jan. H.-There was an error in the story recently carried by International Labor News Service rela- tive to the Workers (Communist) party canifesto of villi6cation and abuse on the death of Samuel Com pers. Friday, December 19, was in correctly given at the date of issuance of the manifesto
 As a matter of fact the manifesto appeared in the Daily Worker on Fri day, December F, and was SO written by the Thicago correspondent.
 MT. ,ers died early in the morniEs Saturday, December 13, but the LSinmunists, evidently antici- pating his death, had their manifesto prepared ahead of time and blazoned 1t upon the receipt of a false report that he had died in Mexico.
 The manifesto was actually printed on Thursday, December II, as the Daily Worker goes to press at about 5 or o'clock on the afternoon pre- ceding the date of issue. In other words, it is always dated the day fol- lowing that on which it is printed

HEDRICK TAKES HOLD AS HEAD OF AZ. OFL.
 BUILDING TRADES
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Jan. 17-George F. Hedrick, new president of the Building Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, Is now hard at work in his office in the A. F. of L. building here. Mrl Hedrick took charge January l.
 MT. Hedrick has been member of organized labor for many years. Born in Buffalo, N.

LABOR SHOULD
 CELEBRATE BIRTH
 OF BEN FRANKLIN
He that hath a trade hath an estate"

"He that hath a trade hath an estate'
 January Y is the anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin. One of the last appeals made to Samuel Com pers as president of the American Fed eration of Labor was for his assistance in bringing about general observance by labor of this anniversary.
 In 1924 MT. Gompers wrote a tribute to Franklin which. was engraved on a handsome tablet and which has been shippd from city to city since that time.
 Here is the last tribute of Samuel Gompers to Ben Franklin
 Benjamin Franklin, a printer, a worker, man of the people and be- lieving in the people, has left to us a heritage rich in percept and inspira- ton.
 "He is presented to us most ire quently as an exponent of thrift, but he was much more than that. His fame rests upon a more secure and more appealing ground. He was a Sl0dl oOl Soul OI lllN PSOPiS, SiSot spokesman for the people, great idealist speaking for them the thoughts they could not put in words or gain the opportunity to pronounce.
 Benjamin Franklin was one of the great and noble figures in the Amer ican struggle for independence. He was qualified and proficient in the workshop, but he could stand with dig nifty and assurance before thrones, voicing the aspirations of democracy. He had the versatility that comes with knowledge, the confidence that is be- gotten of righteous cause, the hu- mility and humanity that is never ab- sent from him who feels deeply for the cause of his fellow men.
 "The wage earners honor Benjamin Franklin, the patriot, the worker, the philosopher, the great libertarian and humanitarian figure, who stands per haps as much as any other the embodi- ment of the America of his time"
