A boy or girl can say mo" TO-

but yes today cannot be changed
to mo" tomorrow. Once the I'M
pulsive yes" (Which implies a prom
ise) is spoken the obligation is IRE
trievably given and may have a 1ar-
reaching effect.
Most of the trouble that comes into
the lives of people is by reason OF this
simple appearing fact. that they falled
to say mo" at the proper time. Think
of the time they waste, the money
they lose, the SORROW they experience,
often through a whole lifetime. simply
because they said yes and could not
change 1t to no
1t requires courage to say no. II
is so much easier to say yes and
take chances that it won't mean any
thing serious. The yes man is more
popular than the mo man" but ne

into more trouble. In the long run
the yes man" is not taken very seri-

for sincerity or strength, while the

HOW 1T STARTED

BY JEAN NEWTON.

Today this popular expression is
understood to he flgurative. When
we speak of rounding out a job rs
licking It into shape. we are not sus
pected of using our tongues In the
process. But at the time of its intro
duction TO our language 1t had quite
literal meaning.
We have II from an old legend that
was taken seriously by ancient
writers. that the cubs of Il bear are
born shapeless little masses of flesh
TO be nodded into the conventional
baby bear by the mother. who licks
them into shape with her tongue.
The fable seems to have come down
from ancient writer's all the way
through Shakespeare and Edmund
Burke. For In Henry VI we have:
"To disproportion me In every part.
Like to chaos, or an unlocked

Plane orced Down
On Way to Frisco

Buhl air sedan biplane Ell route from

ed to land shortly after $780, o'clock
this afternoon, according to a state
ment tonight by Miss Mildred Doran,
the naval air flying teacher of Flint,
Mich, who is registered at a Modesto
hotel.
Miss Doran when asked where the
plane landed, said, ooh, don't know.
I'm not familiar with the lay of the
country around here. Anyway, it is
somewhere within 100 miles of Mo-
desto." Whether it's north, south, east
or west she was unable to tell.
Miss Doran said that spark plug
began giving them trouble. John
Auggie Pedlar of Flint, Mich, pilot,
soon fixed the plug, she said, but when
he attempted to make a take-off a
wheel came off. AS it was getting dark
she said they decided to allow the
plane to remain in the field until Sat-
llrday when Pedlar will fly it to Mo-
desto where she will board it and fly
to San Francisco with him. 4 .a.sae
