with difference; 1t has new values TO
him and to every one else
The probabilities are that he is not
doing what he started out to do. AS
he grew his powers grew, his tastes
changed, his latent talents developed. he
took on various, changes and became an
other being. He was persevering all the
time. but nobody. not even himself, knew
that Outwardly he was a tickle

Few young men and women know
what their life work will be. The
schools may guide and friends advise,

will decide 1t will guide him through
the changes and bring him to his goal
at last--if he perseveres.

He had a purpose and intended TO see
1t through, In spite Of anything that
might happen.
Many fine men have started In one
business and ended in another The
fact that a boy does not find his niche
waiting for him at the college door
does not say that he Is failure. Far
from It, He may be, and probably is,
worth while to him. Give him a

Resting.

If you tire out too quickly, there Is
something the matter, and you should
see a doctor. You may need building
up. you may need something to clear or
stimulate the liver. you may need to
get back into the habit of quiet sleep,
YOU may need to diet, you may have
something wrong with your spine-there
are a thousand reasons why you can tire
out easily, without being Ill.
Without going into the reasons, let
me suggest some ways OF avoiding
fatigue which means avoiding the
strained. dragged out look that the face
has when the body is overtired. One
is to relax in a big chair, head back
and arms clasped behind the head or
the neck. This straightens the back
and lifts lot of muscles that need pull
ing up a bit. II you can put your feet
up on another chair, 1t relieves fatigue
even more quickly. In fact, sitting with
the feet up is one of the most restful

SINCLAIR CASE DELAYED
IN D. C. APPELLATE COURT
Tribunal Fails to Rule on Contempt
Charge, But Decision Is Ex-
pected in November.

No opinion was rendered yesterday by
the District Court of Appeals on the APP
peal of Harry F. Sinclair New York oil
magnate from his conviction of con-
tempt of the United States Senate in
refusing to answer questions concerning
the oil investigation. Sinclair is under
sentence of 3 months in the District Jail
and fine of $500 imposed by Justice
William Hitz following his conviction
more than year ago.
The appellate court resumed its Ses-
sions with Chief Justice Martin Dresid-
ing and Justice Robb and Van Orsdel.
No mention was made from the bench
about the Sinclair case, but 1t Is gen.
orally understood that no decision will
be forthcoming before the first Mon
day in November.
Chief Justice Martin did not sit in the
hearing of the Sinclair appeal because
close relative is employed by one of
the Sinclair companies. Justice Charles
S. Hatfield Of the United States Court
of Customs Appeals took the place of
the chief justice in that case and will
join with Justices Robb and Van Orsdel
in rendering the opinion of the court.

AS DOUBTFUL STATE
Conditions Alarm Hoover Support
ers, Representative Beck Tells
Coolidge.

Representative James A. Beck OF
Pennsylvania, former solicitor general
of the United States, who has just re-
turned from a trip through the Middle
West. said at the White House yester-
day that from his observations Illinois
might be considered at this time a
doubtful State. He explained that con-
ditions in that State have developed
which give reason for considerable
alarm on the part of the Hoover sup
porters. He added, however. that the
Republicans are endeavoring to
straighten out local difficulties and to
win the State for the Republican ticket.
He said that he did not consider Me-
braska as being doubtful and that the
claims being made by Democratic lead
ers regarding Gov. Smith carrying
Pennsylvania were ridiculous.
Senator Golf of West Virginia, an
other one of President Coolidge's callers
today, said that there is not the slight
est reason for any one to look upon
West Virginia as doubtful. He said that
the Republicans of his State are well
organized and that the State will give
its customary Republican plurality in
November. He added also that the Re-
publicans are very hopeful of defeat
ing Senator Nicely, Democrat, who is
being opposed by former Gov. Hatfield
