declared last night by Aaron Sapiro,
young Jewish attorney whose million

Sapiro told in detail of the events
leading up to the famous trial and
related incidents of the trial itself.
Car-Seiling Motive Denied.
Sapiro expressed the opinion that

charges regarding an alleged inter-

WHERE OPPORTUNITY
 BECKONS

Some people are forever com rlnininr that none of the big or little opportunities come their way. They hear of a neighbor who got a real bar gain in a used automobile and wonder why his chance had not been theirs. And when a friend shows them a bit of furniture or other article he has picked up at a fraction of it's real worth they again won- der why others are favored over them. Thus they carry on their lamentations throughout the whole catalog of human wants and possessions.
 Paradoxical though it may seem, these men and women who covet the opportunities of- fered to and grasped by others could often find the secret of the other fellows good fortune in the newspaper read by them both. That secret is the adver- Using columns of the paper. It is there that the golden oppor- tunities of the community are usually offered and found. The "want ad." page of any newspaper is the mecca for those who have bargains to of- fer and for those who wisely hunt for their "acre of dia- monds" at home.
 If the store with it's show win dows, glass cases, counters and open doors cannot do business without news paper advertis- ments, how can the seller and the buyer of the used article expect to "do business" with out advertising? The want ad, or classified advertisement col umn of the newspaper is the show window and counter fo1 the private citizen who has something to sell or wants to buy something the other citi- zen has.

 We honor the name of Colum- bus not merely because he proved his contention that the world was round, but because Columbus was undoubtedly one of the greatest men of that era.
 Columbus proved he was right in the face of tremendous opposition, stupendous rever- sals and unsparing ridicule. He displayed that which is rare in any age or man. namely, res olute purpose and skillful con- trol of opportunity. No other navigator of his time had his daring vision and his courage to hold it. He receives the prize of the worlds acclaim because he dared to do what others on- ly dared to think. He was a dreamer and also a man of act iona decidedly rare combin- ation. He set out on his memor- able voyage with a superstit- ious, mutineering crew. He was not lucky. His triumph was not a matter of chance. He was a man of one idea-that the earth was round and by sailing west one could reach the east. This revolutionary idea made him enemies everywhere. His rivals took his charts and secretly tried out his theories, but lost their nerve and came back to scoff at him. Columbus was ten years in finding somebody to gamble on his dreams. He was as real a scientist as that age produced. Also he was a prophet who earned the proph- cts usual reward of kicks and bruises. But he found a world and gave that world it's grand est motto: "On! Sail on."

 Perhaps everyone of us is more or less given to fits of ex- aggerated, uncontrolled emot- ions. This may be especially true of those whose employ ment exacts nervous drains. When these periods of depres- sion, or anger, or egotism be- come frequent the unfortunate victim is styled, in the common parlance, tempermental. And to be thought tempermental is to be thought a bit queer" or unbalanced, which is per haps the truth.
