MIAMIAN SUICIDES
IN RESTAURANT

Entering a local rest
aurant at 1915 o'clock Thurs
day, Tony Soldo held one of the
proprietors, Bob Asanovich, at bay
with a pistol for two full minutes,
and then placed the gun to his
own right temple and fired, killing
himself instantly. Solodo, a Slav-
oman, who arrived in the district
about two months ago from Calf
ornia was suffering from a chronic
affliction, it is said, and at the time
of the tragedy, apparently was
temporarily deranged. AsanoVich,
whom he threatened with the gun,
stated that Soldo had been a regu-
lar patron of his restaurant and
that there had been no friction be-
tween them. Deceased was about
80 years old and has a brother
somewhere in California.

The Harmless" Remark.

Have you ever had sample of the
kind of harmless remark l mean?
We're always hearing them. Very
often they come from very special
friend whose mind turns to harm
less" remarks.
It's the sort of remark you can't
openly get mad at. You can't rage
at the speaker-can't, in fact. ac-
cuse her of having said anything real
ly disa greea ble-only it leaves its
sting. and it is very dangerous form
Of conversation for the girl who is
anxious to make and keep good friends.
Let us take Muriel. who is blue
eyed, smart and rather cool. Her best
friend recently married Dan. She's
ideally happy.
Muriel listened to Ethel's happy raw
ings over the one and only Dan until
it occurred to her that the best friend
needed little taking down
She spoke gently one day: MY dear
| do think it's too amusing listening
to Dan. He absolutely does nothing

have. Dan has an original viewpoint

have called friendly criticism. calcu-

husba nds.
Of course. Ethel took it all in. OF

a slight scene with Dan-which
only made 1t harder for him to COM

up AS a great big insult"
But somewhere. down underneath.
| if Muriel were to tell herself the
truth, she'd admit that the remark
hadn't been made in the very friend
liest spirit-that it was intended to
leave Just the faintest pinprick of
annoyance in Ethel's mind.
So there are lots of us who, in per-
haps the mildest mood. make little
harmless" remarks which hurt those
who hear us.
What point can there he in our
bringing to the attention of some
happy girl that her man isn't Just
as perfect as he might he?
What excuse can we have fer the
playful criticism which conCeals the
tiniest dig a the man she adoreS?
We are safe in this form of cruelty.
We can always take refuge in the
statement that we had no intention
of being taken so seriously But we
know. deep within ourselves. that we
! are not speaking from the friendliest
motives
If we would hold the friends we
love we must be careful to avoid that
little cutting playful remark, so
1armless-yet so often productive of
harmful results.

Clues to Character
by J. O. ARERNETHY.
The Snooper.

In our travels up and down this
world we often meet 'snOoper." We
refer to the chap who has a naturally
prying. inquisitive disposition. He is
self-appointed guardian of everyhodys s
business.
This individual is consumed with
curiosity. He listens at key holes, he
cocks his ears when you and some
one else are talking in subdued tones.
If he has an idea that the converse
ton is not meant for him he will
strain every nerve to pick it up. If
he gets the drift of what you are talk
ing about he has no compuctions
about drawing on his imagination to
piece out the conversation.
This type cannot concentrate on
any one thing. His mind refuses to
function along that line. He lives and
has his being in trying to see, to hear
everything that is going on around
him. whether it is intended he should
or not.
The man with a long thin nose
pointed at the tip. is snoOper, a
busybody. a buttinsky. He often is a
scandal mOnger. and you should not
trust him with your secrets. Give him
half a chance and he will make no
homes Of asking YOU about your pri-
vate affairs.
