r DON'T know how it is with
a you but l am one OF those
good natured saps who will do
anything for anybody And of
course they let me do it.
So things go on and on with
me being Lady Bountiful and
them expecting me to be-until
some day wake up ard find
that I'm being imposed upon in
about $3.50 different ways. Where
upon I get all smoked up with
rage, resentment, surprise, hor-
ror and self pity
Which is absurd. For of course,
it's all my own fault.
NO ONE CAN IMPOSE ON Us
UNLESS WE LET THEM. AND
IT'S STRICTLY UP TO Us NOT
TO LET THEM.
It's as much to us to protect
our own interests as it is to wash
our teeth or pay our taxes or dis.

learning that lesson. We persist
in thinking that other people
should safeguard our happiness

That's q lovely way to think
and maybe people will act in that
high minded way in heaven-but
it's a cinch they won't on earth.
WHY should they? Haven't they
enough to do, protecting and de.

Don't let ridicule cause you to
drop something that you believe
might be beneficial to you.
Many men are today occupying
mental positions who might be fill
ing good ones if they had con-
trolled their pride.
Why let pride dictate the order
and course Of your life?
If it be necessary for you to DO
unimportant work for while,
have the courage to carry on.
If you have plan, worthwhile

others might say, il you must per-
sonally attend to minute details.
understandable by those who think
you ought to be above doing such
work.
The fear of what someone might
think has kept many a man from
success.
The thought that small men do
small things has checked many an
otherwise successful course.
II the goal Is something big,
coming from a start at the very
bottom, there should be no hest

But to remain in low position,
without the grit to brave scorn or
misunderstanding, is the thing that
means you are an individual of

as a happy love affair.
Never take your wrist watch.
your heart or your conscience to
a summer resort. The first will
get rusty; the second will get lost
stolen or Clipped, and the third
will get in your way.
The only way to tell woman's
age, these days, is by the location
of her vaccination mark-whether
it's on her arm, her calf, her
thigh or the sole of her foot.
The beautiful woman attracts a
man, the brilliant woman inter.

woman GETS him!

plain, insignificant little thing
with ready smile, an infectious
laugh and twinkle in her eye.
The Seven AGUES of Woman:
The boy fever; the marrying fever;
the clothes fever; the houseclean-
ing fever; the bridge fever; the
divorce fever, and the rejuvenat-
ing fever.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis z. Bisch-

OBSERVE your own reactions
" as regards taking the advice
of others.
is it not true that you are
rather weak in this respect?
At least the susceptible habit
of doing what others say, rather
than sticking to ones own judg.
ment, is true OF many persons,
II not. indeed, of the majority.
Many WIN, for example. take
the opinion of the inexpert in.
stead of that given by an expert.
Persons win employ a physician
for sick baby, for example, and
: then give the child some kind Of
a connection unbeknown to the
doctor, but upon the Recommended
ticn of a neighbor.
We pay for learning and scien-
tific knowledge and then we don't
bother our heads about it any
more. On the other hand, free
advice, false and unscientific, may
sIavishly be followed.
People who give us advice
usually mean well and that Is a
factor that is intriguing. We have
a natural tendency to respond to
kindness and courtesy and we
want to please those who try to
please us.
1T flatters us and tickles our
egoes when people are kind. 1t
makes US feel in some way i'm
portant to have others take an in
terest in our welfare.
Although advice may be prompt.
ed by the very best of motives.
that doesn't make it valuable nor
a sure guide to follow. We must
not be afraid of hurting other
peoples feelings by refraining
from or actually refusing to fol.
low their advice.
Weigh and consider carefully all
such tenders of good will when
the question of a vital problem
such as marriage, a job or health
is involved. You cannot get too
many angles on any problem. 1t
is best to weigh and consider
may sides.
However. although you should
bring all the knowledge possible
to bear on an important subject,
be most careful to separate knowl.
edge from opinion.
What people think and what
they know may be as wide apart
as the poles.
And, unfortunately, so many
fall into the habit of not being
able to differentiate between what
they know for a fact and what
they merely think Is a fact. that
even when they tell you. and sin.
eerely, that they are giving facts,
you can't be sure.
In other words, learn to dis
criminate between spurious advice
and genuine advice.
Be careful not to be gullihle
for no better reason than that
someone offers you something for
nothing or out Of the goodness
of his heart. Remember that the
very best of intentions may
prompt the very worst counsel.
OF course, we are all more or
less suggestible, and that also has
lot to do with this business of
doing what we are advised.
If somebody gives you one of
those proverbial Inside tips" on
the stock market it's about all
you can do not to call up the
broker and buy a few shares.
If somebody offers you drink

being afraid. lust off the boat"

not to believe simply because you
want to believe.

ONCE-OVERS
The Case of the "Old Maid

The Case OF the "Old Maid"
Too much sympathy is wasted
on the women who are commonly
known as "old maids"
To bachelors, so much sympathy
is not extended, because it is
believed that they might have
married had they desired matri-
mony.
Too many persons think that
the single woman of mature years
has never been courted or was
disappointed Is some love affair.
This is not necessarily true. for
many women remain unmarried
from choice.
Common practice dictates that
men do the proposing but when
a woman desires TO marry a GER
tain eligible man, she has many
ways to indicate her favor.
If he is not impressed by her
she will soon learn this fact with
out the personal chagrin which
might have occurred had she made
the personal advance too plain.
In their opportunities to marry,
women must consider whether
they would be happy and con-
tented in such a state in prefer.
ence to the way of their present
living.
This is the most important ques-
ton to be decided.

Sovkim0 Talking Studio IN
Lemiugyad Is Completed

THE sound picture has become a
real factor in Leningrad. At the
present time sound films are being
produced, under laboratory condi
tions, in small studio where the
work of inventing and designing
proper recording and projecting ap-
parata is proceeding simultane-
ously with the experimental study
of series of problems connected
with the production of this type Of
film.
However, even today, the capacity
of the studio engaged in the pro-
duction of sound films has become
too inadequate for more extensive
operations.
The Sovkino Film Studio in Len
ingrad has therefore decided to
build a special sound-proof depart
ment for the production of talking
films. The new studio will have a
capacity of 500 square meters.
The sound-film studio is located
apart from the rest of the studio in
the middle of the yard. 1t con-
sists of one building with only a
small annex containing the actors
dressing rooms.
The construction work is proceed
ing at full speed and the studio will
probably be completed by the end
of this month.
The completion of this studio will
serve as an important factor pro-
noting the development of the
Soviet sound-film industry.
Messrs. Mashkovitch and Okhot-
nikov, employed by the Belgoskino
white Russia Film CO.., have in
vented a new method of recording
and reproducing sounds. According
to their system no light is required
to make record, it being replaced
by electricity. Thanks to this new
system it is also possible to make
records with any speed without the
danger of overlapping vibrations.
Only the existence of pure sounds
and perfect apparata makes it pos
sible deliberately to distort the
sounds in accordance with this or
that cutting task. For this purpose
the "Belgoskino" laboratory has
produced special apparatus with
the aid of which the cutter is able
to impart to the sound any tone
and speed. This system makes 1T
possible to convey to sounds of a
definite and known character an en-
tirely new character and signifi-
canoe.
