JOYS Of the Home Owner

The real estate people In tie big cities employ some
very clever men to write their advertisements. It is odd
that they never seem able to explain the real reasons
Why owning . home is worth all of the sacrifice that it
often involves.
The advertisements and statesmen talk Of economic
security and the like. They spend a lot Of time praisine
the nice neignborhoods that surround tl,.!r houses. They
labor hard to convince the prospective buyer that his

The genuine Joys Of the home -owner are little things
things that no man ever speaks about. because they
seem 50 trifling and unimportant. They are easily for

the things that make millions of men glad to meet mort

The Dismays Of Life

Life often brings defeat and dismay. Terrible things
happen in this world; terrible things and pathetic. heart
twisting things; yet when you learn about them by living
through then, rattle. than by reading about them, you
nearly always wind up with a faith. a hope. a confidence
that all the books in the world cannot down.
A l6-year-o.d San Francisco high school student, bril-
liant and studious beyond his years. shot himself to death
The other day because he had been depressed BY the
study of philosophy.
The lad hal studied the writings OF Philosophers from
Plato to Santayana, and had grown dependent. he SAID.

VIII Duran. points out that philosophy has been de-
fined as the ut Of b%cinddling oneself methodicaly.' And
while it is quite obvious that the age Of Is is rather early
tor the study Of the stupendous problems Of life and
death. the suicide Of this San Francisco %youngster would
seem to indicate the corrcctn,Ss OF that jibe.
Il is a noteworthy fact. when you stop TO think about it,
that the man WHO grows melancholy over the tutllty of
life is usually a man who has learned about life from
books rather than from experience.
There are me- books to point out lifcs tragedy. many
books to call attention to its mysteries. many books to in
sst thai there is no hope in this world or the next; but
life itself, when lived to the full. docs not often teach
that lesson or create that gloom.
For life docs something to counteract its lesson OF
tragedy. II experience Of the world teaches one that
failure and defeat are often the portion of men who de-
serve to succeed. it also brings. out OF that very failure
and defeat, a sense OF grandeur and nobility.
Behind the sorrows and disappointments Of the world
there lies a greatness and a ,nasnifccnce that are part Of
every mans heritage. They do not appear OH the surface
They lie concealed within tin human spirit, and the mis-
fortunes and suffcrings Of life only serve to bring them
out where VIC can see them.
Shakespcares tragedies tell hcart-rending stories. Yet
they do not Leave one imprc-cad with 1.-The utility Of life
Instead they convey a profound conviction that life is
splendid. beautiful. holy-a thing that can rise to great
heights as we'll as descend to great depths.
The study Of philosophy Is a poor way to learn about
lifc-cspccial!y for a l6-year-old. Life is a better teacher
To any man who experiences it to the full, it proves that
