LISTEN WORLD!
WHAT'S YOUR ADAPTABILITY?
By Elsie Robinson

Ages of intense heat and intense
cold, continual wetness, perpetual
drought
Animals survived those changes
not by their great strength or by
their sharp wits. but by their
ability and willingness to adapt
themselves TO change.
The infinitely remote animal
ancestor from which man probably
came was tiny mammal hardly
bigger than a rat. 1t survived the
terrific ice age by growing hair
which would re el the cold. and by
modifying it's habits. The great
reptiles. who had lorded 1t over
the world before the ice cap came
down, did not survive. They had
both brains and Drawn. but they
couldn't change their ways. So
evolution went on and left them
behind.
No matter how important you
are, you are only one small cog in
the enormous mechanism Of life.
You will get nothing for your
self out of that mechanism unless
you adapt yourself to the other
cogs.
Whether you like it or not. your
fate Is enmeshed with the lives of
millions of other beings.
Their necessity is your necessity
their opportunity is your oppor-
tunity.
You cannot isolate yourself
you cannot strike out and make
separate destiny. You must
adapt yourself if you would hope
to survive.
All your brilliancy will not avail
you If you refuse to adapt.
Life hasn't set her stage for
any one mans profit. We are all
part of her great plan. Play in
with that plan and Life will give
you your chance. Refuse to change
or adjust and she will leave You
behind-to rot in your swamp as
the dinosaurs rotted.

ONCE OVERS

HOW about 1t old man, do you
H insist that your wife have
the meals on time and that she
be at home when you are there?
You, yourself, are not particular
about getting home at regular
time.
And you go out when you de
sire to do so.
Is this a fair arrangement?
At times the accusing fact
comes to you that you are not
doing right.
1t is easy to excuse yourself.
But it's quite another matter
when your wife presents excuses.
You think it is her duty, her
job, to be on time not only with
your meals but ready 10 spend
the evening with you at home at
any time YOU decide to stay at
home. ass
That she might have ether plans
you won't even consider.
How would you like it if. after
dinner, your wife should announce
to you that she was going out.
and then do so without further
explanation?
1t would cause A distuTba nee in
your home. wouldn't It?
But YOU have done this scores
Of times.

Ever since he was little lad.

When he graduated with the

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

"HEN springtime arrives there
w are few who do not feel a
stirring within. a desire to travel
and he on the go, or just to
wander in the open anywhere.
Wanderlust. a German expires.
sion to describe this urge to he on
the read, is an instructive desire
which we have inherited from
our primitive ancestors.
Normally, we check 1t, il such
1t must be. We realize that we
cannot desert our jobs. our fami-
lies and our responsibilities and
go off by ourselves without a
care to bother us.
But there are also those who
do not check the wanderlust urge.
Such are the 'ttramps," for in
stance.
And during the childhood years
it often happens that boy or
girl. especially boy. simply must
everything his parents may do to
stop him.
Often this running away from
home tendency is the forerunner--
the sign-post, really, of a begin
ming mental abnorma1ity,
Parents. therefore. should not
treat these causes too lightly.
To be on the safe side il is best
to take the child to a child guild
ance clinic or to a hospital where
the advice of mental specialists
may he secured.
II the wanderlust symptom
actually is part and parcel of q
developing abnormaiity. other
signs of popularity are manifest.
Such children are usually differ
ent from the average as regards
their emotional reactions in gen.
eral. They may be Indifferent,
hard to manage. without affec-
tion or cruel.
Children who are somewhat de-
fective mentally may show this
running away from home ten
: dency.
Occasionally it is met with in
very high-strung and nervous
children.
To be sure, not all instances
of wanderlust are abnormal and
OF serious nature.
A boy may become excited over
penny dreadful type of story
and want to go West and fight
Indians himself. Boys are some
times stirred to their very depths
by what they read.
They love to hear about bandits
and cowboys and battles and they
may be impelIed to initiate such
imaginative heroes.
On the other hand children
sometimes run away from home
because the father is too severe or
they are afraid of punishment.
All parents should take their
children into their confidence and
see to it that they are also taken
into the confidence of the chill.
dren.
It is astonishing what fancies
run in the minds o. our little
folks.
When it is found that their
thoughts are given to seeing the
world and living a free and ad-
venturous life, then play should
be arranged so that, to use the
current vernacular, they must
get the wanderlust off their
chests
Repressing, scolding and pun
ishing children of this type does
little, if any good.
1t is best to recognize the wan.
derlust urge in a boy and discuss
it with him rather than try to
make him believe that it Is a
wicked desire.
incidentally, boys camps and
hikes are excellent remedies for
this primitive impulse.

OF A WIFE

Divorce-.And Other Pastimes

Divorce-And Other Pastimes
DIVORCE is like war. Nobody
~ wants it, nobody approves of
it. but everybody is more or less
prepared for it these days.
A modern marriage may be full
of problems and surprises-but
you must admit that there are
very few dun moments in it.
A little coddling and flattery
won't hurt your husband. But
when you start picking up his
clothes. hunting for his shoes, and
waiting on him as though he were
a spoiled prima donna. you are just
running him for his next wife.
After a long bachelorhoOd spent
in making love to every woman,
man is sometimes glad to retire to
the shelter of matrimony. and en-
joy scrapping with one woman for
a change.
Whichever way you look at it,
it's hard life for a woman! When

than its work-level." says Henry
Ford True, Sir Henry-nor
higher than its love-level its brain
level and. above all. its WOMAN
level. A country's progress is meas
ured by it's ethics and its ideals.
Nowadays, when a man forgets
the morning kiss, his wife doesn't
suspect that his love is growing
cold; she merely wonders if he is
getting enough of the right
Vitamin.

MORE THAN 1900 SKATERS
At STANLEY QUARTER POND
Park Department EncounteFdns
Difficulties In Freezing Park VI
Willow Brook Plot.

More than 1900 skaters were on
the pond at Stanley Quarter park
last night. according to Park Super
intendent Clyde Ellingwood. About
goo more were on the wading pool
at Walnut Hin park.
1t may require a week Of freezing
weather to make Willow Brook park
suitable for skating, Mr.. Ellingwood
stated today. The sun yesterday
afternoon shining on the ice on Me-
mortal field had all the effects of an
early March thaw. and undid some
OF the work of the night before.
Park employees who spent Thurs
day night running water into tenn
porarily constructed pond. will be re-
quired to run several more inches Of
water on top of the now partially
frozen ice. II the water does not
take the frost out Of the ground. all
will be we'll. II the water, being
warmer than the frozen ground,
thaws the ground, the experiment
will be failure and must be tried
again. II cold weather continues
and the water freezes, within week
there will be some skating at the
park.
The board of park commissioners
will hold q regular meeting next
Tuesday evening.

SUGGESTS Open HOUSE

Sablotsky Proposes Visit
and Inspection by
Citizens

Councilman Samuel Sablotsky of
the Sixth Ward is considering rec

city building one or more nights a
year for inspection by the public.
his idea being to interest residents
of the city in the workings of the
several departments. Just as par
ents of school children mingle with
the teachers in associations which
have been successful in this city for
a number OF years, he would have
the officials and employees of the
city meet the public and discuss the
management of the affairs of the
municipality.

talking only the other day did not
know anything about the position Of
deputy town and city clerk. and
when brought him up and had him
shown what is done in the office. he
was greatly surprised" he said.
Although Councilman Sablotsky
has not decided on the steps to be
taken to further his idea. he believes
a campaign Of education through the
neWspa pers would arouse some inter-
est in the city government, and on
inspection nights the public would be
welcome to go through the city
building. visiting the various depart
ments and having explained the
routine. Tax Collector Bernadotte

would be pleased to show anyone
his office and answer all questions
pertaining to the work at any time.

1t was noted with satisfaction that
there had been nothing in the bull
letins of the past week to awaken
alarm.
For the first time since December

an operation for drainage Of the in
fected area of the chest. his name
did not appear on the evening bull

from the consultation bore out
statement in the official communica-
ton given medical journals that the
wound of the operation no longer
required surgical attention. The
evening bulletin said:
THE king had a quiet day and
there is no change to report in His
Majestys condition."

trary was said in the officia, bulle-
