LISTEN WORLD!
You Can't Ran Away From Yourself
By Elsie Robinson

But that didn't disturb Eleanor.
She went right on looking for the
great, free souls who would be fine
enough to comprehend her comph-
Gated constitution, certain that
when she found them, all tiresome
tension would disappear and every
thing would be lovely.
SO for 43 years Eleanor has been
cruising around looking for the
perfect combination, the ideal for
mula-making experiments with
one person or environment after
another.
BUT NEVER, BY ANY
CHANCE, MAKING ANY Elk
PERIMENTS WITH HERSELF.
Today she is as far from sue
cess as she was the day she
started. And she never will find
peace or happiness until she sits
down and faces the fact that she,
herself, Is the cause of all her
misery.
There's the biggest lesson to be
learned in human life. Sometimes
l think it is the only lesson to be
learned-that we are put on earth
70 lCdEn ILIdt LGSOOH dIIO uO ObASA"
You, yourself, make your own
life.
You make it out Of the lusts Of
your flesh, the imaginings Of your
mind, the desires of your soul.
You make it out of your own fears
or hopes. conceit or humility, gen.
crosby or stinginess, stubbornness
or willingness.
You. yourself. are your only
problem in life.
When it comes right down to
brass tacks you have nothing to
fight but yourself. Countless
things may happen to you, but
it's up to you to determine what
influence they shall have upon
your life.
Think back to the misfortunes
which have befallen you, barring
unavoidable accidents and death.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

Why il It that people In gen.
eral are Indifferent to the prob
lens connected with insanity and
the housing Of the insane?
And why In it that when they
do take an interest, which is ex.
ceptional, that their attitude is
one of adherence, il not hos
tility?
Perhaps the notions that pe6ple
had about insanity away back in
the middle ages still cling.
And, indeed, we need not go
back as far as that. We have
only to recall the number of
viduals who were burned at
stake for witchcraft in order 10
drive home the point I have in
mind.
1t is sad fact that, despite
our advances in civilization. despite
our enlightenment in science, we
still-that is, many of US do
cling to unconscious resistance
against any form OF mental alb.
normality.
II we are loath to think about
the unfortunates whose minds
become deranged, we stu are
harboring ideas that these pa
tients are possessed Of the devil,
or of evil spirits, or whatnot. just
as they did in the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries.
And 1t is also a curious fact
that when abnormality of any
bodily organ, such as the heart,
or kidneys or lungs exists, people
are never hesitant about advertis-
ing 1t. But when such abnormal.
ity happens TO be mental they In
variably try to hide It,
Why should we, really, be
ashamed IL our own mind or the
mind of relative or friend func.
tons badly?
Is not the brain the most i'm
portant organ in the whole sys-
tenn?
Is 1t not the brain that receives
the most strain?
Why should not the brain give
way II other organs do?
And why should there be any
stigma attached to it?
Unless insanity be recognized
In more sensible terms than now
by the great majority Of the popu-
lation, adequate steps by States
and civil authorities viii not be
taken to house the insane prop
erly nor will 1t stop the increase
of the malady.
During 20 years insanity has in.
creased over 100 per cent. But
our hospital facilities have not In
creased in like proportion;
Our modern life is growing
more and more complex. We are
being subjected continually to
more and more mental stress and
worry.
insanity, therefore, will continue
to be a problem and propably a
more pressing problem as time
Specialists of the mind know
more about mental disorders OF
all kinds nowadays than they did,
say is or 25 years ago,
y 1t is astonishing how many,
even definitely insane persons are
cured each year-the figure Is
over SO per cent-and how many
also are improved sufficiently to
take their places again in the
horne and in the community.
But we must change our atti-
tude toward mental disorder.
We must recognize it sensibly,
for what 1t actually Is, not as
mysterious or uncanny- thing. but
as a disease like every other dis
ease that may possibly oe cured.
Early recognition Of approach
ing insanity is, however, Of the
highest Importance.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland


Woman-And the Other Woman
WITTY is the "other woman" in
w a mans life?
Why does man with a per-
fectly good wife slip from the
straight and narrow path in
search of diversion. adventure
or other women?
The girl of today is all be-
wildered about this thing. She,
hears the cracking of the wedding
vows all around her, and she

to make a permanent partnership

permanent" than a permanent
wave.
Marriage looks to her like
merely the little interval be-
tween the wedding and the di-
vorce, and eternal love" ap-
pears to last only from the first

The "other woman" has ceased
to be a joke and has become a
real problem. And it is just this
problem that is making cynics
and confirmed bachelorettes of
lot of otherwise wholesome young
women.
Why does a man think he
needs a change of heart. the mo.
ment one woman has become an
old story to him?
All! But that's where the
catch comes in! 1t isn't because
his wife has become an old
story to him, that he looks
around for a new diversion. It's
because HE has become an old
story to his WIFE.
When a man goes stepping, it is
not because he is looking for a
new face. It's because he's look.
ing for a brand new AUDIENCE.
He is looking for somebody to
whom he is a deep, dark fascinat-
ing mystery and a great Big
Wonderful Man!
Somebody, to whom his stories
are all new, and who will greet
them with a spontaneous laugh
instead of with a pallid smile or
a patient yawn.
Somebody who will applaud
when he says or does something

pressed with his magnificent wis.

terly advice" Somebody who
will relieve him of all ''inferiority
complex"
Somebody who will be thrilled
by his Zine" and dazzled by all
his little stunts. Somebody who
will be cheer leader, and help him

he can surprise and astonish ana

He says he is yearning for

evident that the superiority

through sheer logic of value,
double and treble in numbers

Anyone who studies these
remarkable cars can scarcely
fail to be struck by the fact
that two interesting and inn
portant things have happened.
The first is that they look
and act the part of their
great reputation and social
leadership more Enthusiastically
than eUer.
The second is that this social
and reputation value is ex-
pressed in a price value
readily recognizable as far

giving less but by steadily

TWENTY. EIGHTH ANNUAL PRESENTATION
Cadillac Presents
A Magnificent Line of
New Models

this last is the most brilliant
of all the examples which
have occurred, in that time,
Of the success of this Cadillac
principle.
All three lines possess fea.
lures which render them
unique-Syncro-Mesh Silent
Shift Transmission, Safety
Mechanical Four-Wh heel
Brakes, and non-shatterable
Security-Plate Glass in all
windows, doors and wind
shields.
All of them are beautiful in
design--even smarter and
swifter looking and acting
than they have been before:
All of them have surpassed
themselves in the rich dignity
and appointments Of the
newly designed Fisher and
Fleetwood bodies.
In these respects-quiet and
dignified but sumptuous in
appearance and equally sump-
tuous in riding ease--there
is nothing with which to COM
pare them.
Climaxing all this, these cars
are offered at prices which
render it unnecessary for
Cadillac to say more of the
cars than to extend a cordial
invitation to the public to
enjoy their inspection.
