GODS
MOTHERS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

YOU can't believe in mother much
And not believe in God,
For there is something In her touch,
Yes, even of her rod,
That makes a mother seem to me
An agent of Divinity.
80 much a mother can forgive
So often has the need,
So much like God she has to live
She seems a living creed.
Though man may preach some creed
of his,
Her creed she lives, her creed she is.
Men preach forgiveness, yet they hate,
But mothers day by day
Leave open every door and gate,
Inviting feet that stray
To come returning-f1rst to greet,
And last your shining to repeat
The Good Book tells us God is love;
Well, so is mother, too.
Believing in some God above
Is not so hard to do,
With mothers here to prove the worth
OF heavens love with love on earth.

WHEN I WAS
TWENTY.ONE
BY JOSEPH KAYE
At twenty-one Scott Fitzgerald wrote

At twenty-one Scott Fitzgerald wrote
the book that brought him fame.
CAT TWENTY-ONE I was in an
1 4 officers training camp and while
there started on a novel. I would be-
gin work on it every Saturday after
noon at one and work like mad until
midnight. Then I would work at it
from six Sunday morning until six
Sunday night, when l had to report
back to barracks.
when l finished the novel 1t was
rejected. A year later it was pub
lished under the title Of This Side of
Paradise.-SCOTT FITZGERALD"
TODAY-At the age Of thirty-one,
when others are just starting out to
make their way, Fitzgerald is already
a famous author, commanding both the
attention of the public and substan-
tial checks from the publishers.
When "This Side Of Paradise" was
published 1t became the leading novel
Of the time almost Immediately, and
the future of the young writer was
assured.
1t might be no eXaggeration to say
that Fitzgerald started the "fapper"
literature that inundated this country
up to year or two ago

spinach or drink milk. They wanted
bread, syrup and black coffee. But

IN GIDAS-EARED" is an expression
1Vl which has come to us from an
old Greek myth.
Midas, King Of Phrygia, was ap-
pointed judge in musical contest be-
tween Apollo and Pan. King Midas
decided in favor of Pan whereupon
Apollo in contempt gave Midas a pair
Of ass ears. Midas then tried to hide
his ears in his cap, but his barber
who used to cut his hair discovered
them. The servant was so ticl!ed with
the "joke'' which he dared not tell
that he dug a hole in the ground to
relieve himself of the secret and whis
pered into the hole, king Midas has
ass ears" and then filled 1t up. A
reed, however, grew there which be-
trayed the secret by it's whispers.
The term "Midas-eared" has come to
mean without discrimination or judg-
ment.-Anna S. Turnquist.

Saws Tournament Golf
Becoming Too Popular

Some golfers point out that there
is such a thing as tournament golf be-
coming too popular, writes 81. G.. Sal
singer in the Detroit News.
They point to the crowds OF 1900
that packed around Bobby Jones on
his last round in the United States
open at Scioto, and the $4,000 that
damned the fairways when Jones and
George Won Elm fought it out for the
United States amateur title at Baltus-
rol.
The severe mental strain caused by
the unwieldy mob takes too much
from actors In this golf drama.
Jones has the heavier load to carry.
He Is always taxed more than his OPP
ponent, for Jones is the magnet. He
knows it and feels constantly that 1t
is up to him to deliver. It is next to
impossible for him to keep from over
pressing.
That Jones won at Scioto in the
face of conditions was remarkable
that he lost at Baltusrol was not sur
prising.
You will probably say that It must
have been as tough for Won Elm as 1t
was for Jones, but that was not the
case. Jones had the mob at his heels
for FIVE days before he me- Won Elm.
He was already worn out by the time
he teed off against Won Elm. The
challenger was fresh. No crowd had
pressed him through five days of com
petition.

Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys n

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys In their efforts
to expel 1t from the blood. They be-.
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains In the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours. tongue is coated, and
when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full Of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these Irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous waste,
get, four ounces Of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful
In a glass Of water before breakfast
for a few days, and your kidneys may
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in the system
SO they no longer i~rritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.

Why do people fear to have a black
cat cross their path? That Is a super
stition that goes back to the ancient
days when the cat was worshiped In
Egypt. In fact many of our supersti-
lions go back thousands of years to
the dawn Of history. The swastika as
an emblem of good luck enjoyed q
great popularity within recent years,
but this design is as old as mankind.
1t was a religious symbol In both the
Orient and among the Mayas and In
cas- of Central and South America.
Finding the horseshoe is lucky for three
reasons Gall Of them based upon super
s%tition, ~however). Anything in the
shape Of a crescent has always been
regarded as something to bring luck;
since early times iron has been a good
luck metal and English mythology has
always held the horse to be a lucky
animal. So a combination of the three
makes the horseshoe an emblem Of
good luck.
But not all superstitions are based
upon blind, unreasoning belief. Some
Of them have a very common-sense
foundation, ever though we are more
inclined to think of the superstition
than Of the common-sense foundation.
a mirror while dressing and then spill
ing the salt at breakfast, you'd prob
ably think that it was going to be an
unlucky day for you, wouldn't you?
And you'd probably be right, for those
two acts might indicate that your
nerve were a bit shaky, and If you
weren't quite up to form mentally,
you might easily make other blunders.
Opening an umbrella in the house and
walking under a ladder IRE unlucky,
aren't they? Certainly, for if you open
the umbrella you may knock some
bric-a-brac off the table or pictures
from the wall and If you walk under a
ladder 1t might be Just at the moment
when the painter dropped his bucket
or some other workman dropped a
hammer. Either would be unlucky for
you, all right. But the main thing
about the umbrella and the ladder is
that If you do these things you prob
ably will be doing them absent
mindedly. And absent-mindedly you
might walk directly in front Of a
street car or automobile or step into
a deep hole.
Gamblers believe that the person
who lends money to a fellow-player
during the game will be unlucky and
the borrower win be lucky. They're
perfectly right for it's a matter Of SIM
Pile economics. The lender has de-
creased his available capital and the
borrower is playing on borrowed
money with consequent increase Of his
chances to make It produce more.
So some of the "why-do-they-do-its"
are easy enough to answer. They do
it because, quite aside from the super
stition connected with 1t, it's a perfect
ly logical and natural thing to do.

There is one government protective
