Sheer Necessity

1T is not exhibitionism, but sheer
Il necessity, which makes me pa
rade in print my most personal adj
ventures in finance, moral philoso-
ply and romance.
Pity the poor columnist who must
squander every day those reticenceS
by which proper men are nourlshed.

drawn into the devastating limelight.

Queer in the sense that he supplied

revolt against spinach served coldly
to furnish forth a few necessary
paragraphs.
For seven years I lived off that
child and paid him nothing in re-
turn. Almost I felt like one of the
many legendary Russian peasants
pursued by wolves.
In the stories of such bleak
tragedies the harassed man throws
out his wife and then his grand
mother from the sled in an effort
to appease the wolf pack.
Sometimes he does it the other
way round. But in the end the
wolves get every relative who hap
pens to be handy.

Why does radio have less volume

The National Radio institute says
that the fact that radio receiver
has greater volume in dry weather
than in wet weather indicates that
the aerial system is not completely
insulated. This may be due to faulty
insulators or to the fact that the
aerial or lead-in wire touches some
object. In either case, the radio
signals will be conducted directly
to the ground and will not pass
through the receiver. The aerial

Know They Are Mortal

COMEHOW it does not seem right
~ for great souls to disappear that
way. Having put them on a pedes-
tai, we expect them to remain; hav-
ing clothed them with impossible
attributes, we gather the impression
that they are different,
Just as we find it hard to picture
Columbus as a squalling, colicky
baby, we find it hard to picture him
as dying in chains; and just as we
find it hard to think of George
Washington as a happy, carefree
boy, we find it hard to think of him
as strangling to death with the
Group.
The great souls know better They
know that they are mortal, like the
rest of us, not only with respect to
death, but with respect to other
things.
They have been through the mill;
have had their hours Of ache, pain
and disappointment; have felt the
weakness that goes with common
clay. and understand perfectly well
that they are headed toward the
same mystery.
