BROADCASTING

The marvellous progress made by radio inventors
still holds the world spellbound. 1t is almost impossible
to conceive of the possibilities which still lie in this field
of science.
The rapid growth of the radio habit is evidenced in
the number of aerials strung over housetops in the cities
and even in the most remote suburban homes. In Phila-
delphia alone, the roofs of whole blocks of houses, street
after street, resemble barbed wire entanglements.
Another form of broadcasting which has been going
on since time immemorial, is by word Of mouth. 1t be-
hooves us all then to look over our own daily radio pro-
gramme and see what we as individuals are broadcasting.
Are we telling the world that Atlantic county is a wonder
full place to live in and to bring up our children in? Are
we letting the world know that our home town is growing
steadily and normally, and business conditions are much
better than in the average community throughout the
country; or are we knocking everybody and everything?
Are we broadcasting thoughts of health and happiness
sor are we going about telling everyone that our liver is
aclogged with carbide, and our town has a flat tire.
Why not broadcast cheerful things? Everyone of us
gan find something to be grateful for, and certainly our
friends and neighbors would much rather hear Of our
Xratitude than gloomy forebodings. If the programme
yer the wire is not TO our liking, we can switch the dial
md tune in on something better. Il is not always so easy,

THERE'S ALWAYS
OPPORTUNITY

The commonest cry of youth EN-
tering the world of affairs is fol
Opportunity" So many young men
excuse themselves for not getting
ahead on the ground that there is
no opportunity.
Wherever there is a job there
is opportunity. Major General R
H.. Allen, who became chief of in
family in the United States army
rose from the ranks of enlisted
men. And the army is not general
ly considered a place of great
opportunity for men who are not
officers.
It's not the lack of opportunity
it's not knowing what to do with
it that makes failure.

Speaking of radicals, the excited

hates the Eighteenth amendment
and won't obey it, and keeps liquor
in his cellar is also against the

HOW TO FORGET


Every one of us, at some time
has a deep sorrow to endure. We
lose loved ones by death or by vari
Gus other causes. But we must &C
on, if we are normal human beings
We have work and responsibilities
and must ''quit IS like men,
What helps us most to forget oui
troubles? Men, members of the
stronger SEX" are apt to turn tc
drink. Women either dash into
social pleasure or clean house
depending on their financial and
social status.
A disguised young man writes:
Dear Mrs. Lee: l have a prob
lem and l wish you would help
me out. I'm Fl, and quite popular
in town, but there's one thing l
lack. / have been going with a
certain girl for. the past few
years. I thought the world of her.
/ have even given up my career
just to marry her. We had the
date set, everything was smooth,
until her girl friend started to
drag her around, and, of course,
we have broken up.
"She's telling everyone that
I'm nothing but a drunkard. Well,
Mrs. Lee, | may be a drunkard.
That is about the only way a
fellow can ever forget. And fur
thermore | never want to go back,
so please, Mrs. Lee, advise me
the best way to forget without
drinking. | got so | can't, or never
will, be able to trust another
woman as long as l live. Yours,
DISGUSTED."
You are evidently making me an
exception to that last statement,
Disguised, and I'm honestly glad.
I've always found that good, hard
work was the best way to forget
an aching heart. | never tried
drink, but should imagine that after
the effects of the stuff wore OFF
one would feel worse than ever
physically and mentally. Why don't
you show the young woman that
far from being a drunkard, you're
a real she-man?' Take up that
career of yours that you neve,
should have given up for any
woman, and wiz right along. Write
me again, won't you, and tell me
how you get along.
