Screaming. they leap astride the
plunging storm-and clench the
lightning in their fierce white
hands,
Their bright hair banners on the
wind-their cry is mingled with
the thunder's blast.
Far down the lanes of heaven

shouts, die down. at odin's

And, listening, l think of women.
] think of women as they really

bits of flesh--soft pampered
creatures, trained in petty ways
But women. as God meant them
-as they are at heart
Valkyries! Guardians Of life and
death!
Creatures He nodded to outride
His storms.
The world has not, for q long

women. Once it knew the truth
because once women lived the

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

The habit of lazy thinking is
something we must all guard
against. In this respect many of
US tend to deteriorate mentally
after we leave school.
This is because In our mod.
ern age Of wonders we have not
only labor.saving devices. but
thought-saving contrivances as
we'll.
For example, certain schools
give courses Of instruction in
q boiled-down. more or less sum-
mary fashion. Even supposedly
conservative universities now give
correspondence courses.
When there Is an earthquake
or any unusual happening con.
fronts the world. newspapers
aren't slow in giving all the data
is essential in grasping the situa.
ton and understanding it in its
entirety.
They even try their best with
"Eipstein's Theory of Relatively
Radio has put the finishing
touch on all the thought-savinE
devices thus far. It's so easy
to turn a knob. sit back com.
fortably to rest, and hear the
best Of everything with plenty
OF explanation to make 1t intel
Hsible.
Yes. not only are we becoming
mentally lazy, but I question
whether, by far and large. we
realize 1t.
WHAT'S the good of troubling to
90 to school and college when
everything Is handed out so neat
ly and compactly when needed?
What's the use of wasting and
clogging our brains with informa-
tion that may never be needed or
used?
On the surface such arguments
sound logical and convincing.
But are they really so?
Education doesn't mean a mere
accumulation of facts--it means
mental training. And no individual
most valuable exercise! Thought
saving devices are not, therefore,
q menace of and by themselves.
Only do they become a menace II
we are nnisled and mistake them
for what they are not.
IL we realize that all modern in
ventions that save us mental
trouble should be used primarily
for enjoyment purposes, then we
viii not 80 far affeld.
But IL we are led to believe that
aRAAu - aAAw al
and the use OF intelligence, then
they become . veritable bane to
civilization.
A good thing to keep your mind
active and alert Is to question
everything at least once.
How many Of us ever sit down
alone ana think things out for
ourselves?
How often do We mediate suf-
ficlently long to make up our
mind2
Rather do we not tend to think
the way some book or newspaper
thinks, or what some public
peaker proclainns, instead of
weighing and considering what
Is said and finally forming our
own individual judgment about it.
II you hear man or woman
expressing himself or herself
forcibly enough, are you not
. likely TO agree before getting off
alone and thinking It all out as
you should?
The trouble Il that America is
always on the go--is too active.
We hustle and push and shove
day in and day out and are in =
continuous state of activity ex.
cept when We sleep.
We do not allow sufficient tlnAa

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Say Good -By-Not An Revoir
Breaking off a love affair
would be . far less painful thing
II q man ever knew how to say
good.by gracefully. and a woman
ever knew when to say it.
But there is a lot more truth
than rlumor in that old joke about
q woman's long.drawn-out good
bys."
When it comes to the parting
Of the ways. after love, or even
after a mild filtration, the Cling
ing Vine develops an awful clutch.
A woman's first thought. after
a quarrel. is How can I get him

get away?"
All her good-bys are au re-.
voirs! And her farewell appear.

tain as were the famous PATHS.
Somehow, woman cannot &C.
cel finaiity. She cannot believe
that anything so beautiful and
vital as love can possibly die. She
keeps on going back and trying
to dig 1t up and perform an au-
topsy on it. or to bring 1t back
to life with a pulmotor. She just
can let it alone.
She will tell a man good by,
forever" tonight--and tomorrow
morning she will call him up, be-
for breakfast, to tell him that he
forgot his umbrella. Or to find
out If he's coming up to dinner.
Or Just to see If he's heartbroken
about it. Or to tell him "good;by,
forever" all over again.
She hangs onto a parting like
bulldog to an old shoe. And that
is where she makes her fatal
mistake.
If love Is dead, 1t cannot be
revived. But many a dying love
would come back TO life iF a
woman would only say GOOD.
