1t was a motorcycle this time
and they got the goods on me
and three other fellows, I
thought I'd let you know I'm
sure sorry but 1t amt no
use"
Is there something familiar
about Jimmy's cry?
Have you said something like
that yourself when you have
fallen once more for your Be-
setting Sin?
Have you, too, moaned-"what's
the use of trying when you've
got a thing like that inside your"
Yes, suppose you have.
That's why my answer to jim
my's letter is going to go for all
of us
Listen Jimmy
If you want to come clear out
OF this tangle there is one truth
which you must lay hold of with
all your might
YOU ARE NOT BAD,
You are not haunted by some
vicious monster. You are not in
the grip of some evil power over
which you have no control. You
may have done bad things, fool
ish and cruel things, but you,
yourself, are not bad.
YOU ARE GOOD. And YOU
love decency. You love courage
and honesty and square shooting.
Never mind what other people
say about you. That's the REAL
you and you know 1t.

ing a thing If you're made that
way"
That's what you have said in
the past when temptation came.
And because you said it, the
temptation got you-but you are
going to say something different
when temptation comes next
time, you're going to say
"Well, here's a chance to steal
again-but after all, don't have
TO steal just because there 9
a chance. Other people have
chances to steal. But that doesn't
make them steal. And it needn't
make me steal either. really
don't want to steal, deep inside
me. I'm bright enough to get
along without stealing. But
somehow, l have always had the
silly bunch that / HAD to steal
that / was thief. But now
that I look the matter straight
in the face ] see that 1 don't
have to steal any more than any
one else. And by golly, I'm not
going to steal.''
Those are simple words, jim.
They do not sound like powerful
words. But if you will say
them AND REALLY BELIEVE
THEM, they will be like chain
armor to protect you from evil.
IF YOU'LL BELIEVE IN
YOUR OWN GOODNESS AND
STAND UP FOR 1T NO EVIL
CAN GET THROUGH TO YOU.
And you ARE good, Jim. Good
all through.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
When Love Is Over

A MAN falls in love painfully.
"A slowly. almost inch by inch
but he falls OUT Of love with
a swift and sudden jolt.
A woman falls in love as easily
as she would sink into a beautiful
dream, but falls out of love only
after a long and desperate strug-
gle to hang onto her Illusions,
and keep her eyes shut.
Falling out of love Is as pain.
full as coming out from under the
anaesthetic after an operation. It
Is like heSring the alarm clock in
the middle Of a pleasant dream.
Or like coming to the end of a
fascinating novel, and closing the
book.
1t would not be so unbearable II
every love-affair could be broken
off with a violent quarrel. But
most of them are not broken
off,; they just sag in the middle
and come apart from their own
weight.
A woman could relinquish a
love affair far more cheerfully
and effectively, If only she could
end 1t with a dramatic scene and
grande finale. But nine times
out of ten a man sneaks out
through the wings before the
drama is over.
When woman discovers that
love Is dead, she likes to give 1t
beautiful burial service with
flowers and sad music. But a
man scarcely stops to fling a
shoVelful of earth on It's grave,
and then rushes off in search of
consola tion--or new l0ve-to
make him forget it!
A woman keeps the ashes of
her dead loves carefully laid away
In the lavender of memory to
sweeten her old age. But a man s
dead loves are so dead that he
wouldn't recognize them il you
dug them up and introduced them
to him.
Some men can break off a love
affair so gently and gracefully
that woman feels almost flat
tered; but most of them are so
impatient. once they get that
tired feeling" that they snatch
up the nearest cleaver and CHOP
it off.
Breaking off a really beautiful
love affair Is like having tooth
extracted. You do not feel the
pain until the cocaine of anger,
jealousy or relief wears off-and
then you suddenly realize that

Neither John Early nor any of his

ments that have been circulated to the
effect that the Early family intends
to offer armed opposition to the au-
thorities."
To Use All Legal Methods.
"we are all peaceful. law-abiding
citizens, and | myself am an officer
of the law" Mr. Early stated. I'VE
only intend to do the right thing. We
fought for our country-four of us
but we don't intend to use warlike
methods to keep my brother from the
hands of the Federal agents. We sim

law will allow.
Then if we win, all right; If we lose

cause the leper is quarantined in the

that would endanger anybody, the
brother stated.

While in one of the big cities of the
South the doctor drove all about town

The brother also took occasion to
comment vigorously on the incarcera-

He asserted that the quarters are in

vicious attack on the municipal own
ership and operation of city transit.
Altho the report comes out for a two
cert boost in fares, no mention is
made of the underpaid and overwork-
ed subway workers who have struck
a number of times the last few years
for higher pay.
The payment of a $4,000 fee to
Smith was severely criticized in a
statement issued by former Mayor
John F. Hylan, who declared that it
is criminal waste of public funds
to pay an "expert" from the west or
any other place $4,000 to make a
report on the transit situation in an
intent to put over an increased fare.
Berry comes out frankly for an
increased fare" he declared. "On the
other hand Untermyer's plan is lay
ing the foundation for an increased
fare by an application to the federal
courts" Hylan continued:
"This is all in keeping with the in
crease in car fare by the Smith Public
Service Commission in Buffalo, AL
bany, Cohoes, Rensselaer, and Water
vile. Increased fares in those cities
were put over while the newspapers
were filled with the Lindbergh recep-
ton.
every other office during this re-
ception was abandoned except the
office of the Smith Public Service
Commission, which found it necessary
to work at that time to decide a case
for increased car fare that had been
before the commissioners for five
months"
