IMPORTANCE
OF FAILURE
DIR. Louis E. Bisch.

IN the whole, we are much con-
" cerned in studying success
but are not so much interested In
studying failure.
Yet the why's and wherefores
of our failures are even more i'm
portant than those of our sue.
cesses.
For failure; even succession
of them, need not blight our lives,
And the reason is that failure al"
ways has remedy.
The renowned English essayfst,
Steele. said: Every man Is the
maker OF his own fortune"
In like measure every man Is
also the maker of his own failure.
But the fundamental causes
must be found If we would turn
failure into success.
Few people realize, for example,
the manifold conditions and re-
lationships which have a daily
draining effect on their thinking,
their working capacity and their
output.
Fewer still realize that when
they are losing their snap, when
their thinking becomes cloudy
and their output reduced, the
means of conquering their trou-
bles lies within themselves.
You can gait yourself for sue.
cess. You can also gait yoursen
for failure.
Our mental machinery is
mighty complicated, yet nova
days is fairly well understood.
Psychology-and practical, help
ful psychology at that-has made
tremendous strides In the past few
years.
We know now that everything
has q cause; that there is rea.
son for failure just as there is
reason for success. And we know
also that once the cause is found
the mind at once rights itself and
proceeds along successful lines OF
effort.
The whole tendency of the body
and mind is toward health and
efficiency anyway. Remove the
/. obstacles, the causes for failure
and everything goes well.
This sounds so simple, 1t is so
true, that one wonders why mod
ern psychology boasts so much
about 1t.
Ignorance certainly keeps many
an individual from achieving
superlative results, 1t Is a COM
mon cause. Yet there never was
a time when education played so
important n part as it does now
in preparing and fitting men and
women for their life's work. And
such educational help can be had
almost for the asking.
We know also that feelings of
inferiority keep many from reach
ing the goals they have set for
themselves. Too much coddlng
in childhood. too much dependence
upon the family, Is another cause
for failure. A confused state of
mind, not knowing what one
really wants to do. is still another.
Not keeping the body fit often
prevents even superior minds
from arriving at the highest
Yes, there are many probable
causes such as the above for
failure and you can readily apply
these possible causes to yourself
II YOU find yourself slipping.
Don't imagine that you are
the one big exception and that
what is true for others cannot
possibly refer to yourself. 1t Is
better to assume that you are
like others instead Of unlike them.
Apply the causes for their fail.
ures to yourself and the chances
are that you will find the explana-
ton for your own case.
But look for the cause. always

A HAPPY marriage is the gentle
"A aftergIow that follows the
hectic sunset OF romance.
A man never is sure Of a woman
until she is perfectly frank and
natural--but a woman never is
perfectly frank and natural until
she is perfectly indifferent.
A. man never can perceive just
why. when he smashes his wife's
faNorite bit of bric-a-brac in a mo-
ment of carelessness. he should be
expected to replace ii with a new
fur coat. But, alas, no man ever
did understand woman's way OF
reasoning"
A little vanity, conceit and self.
esteem are to a man what salt Is
to ham; they give him character
and pep. But nobody can stand
even ham picked in brine.
One mans love-making is so
much like anothers. these days,
that after a while you get so
that you can finish any given sem

one.

they lived happily apart ever

which the thing that was once an

look like visitation.
Many a man. whose only fear of
the future is that he may slip on
the Golden stair, need only worry
for fear he may get . cinder in

Hiccoughing Succumbs to
Psychology

Up in Tennessee a young woman, after tuffering
from hiccoughs for a period OF SO days, has been cured
by psychology, 1t is reported by physicians TO a Mem
phis hospital.
The victim had tried hundreds Of so-caned cures
without benefit. gradually wasting away until her
weight had become less than two-thirds OF what y
was at the beginning Of the unusual attack. She was
so weak she could not raise her hand, but could only
smile ard wait for the end.
And then the attending physicians. being iesper-
rate, gave her a sleeping potion and followed with o
dose CT medicine that caused the most distressing nau-
sea and pain when she awoke. As a matter OF TACT
she was so troubled that she forgot to hiccough-and
now she Is on the road 70 recovery.
All Of which reminds US Of the ancient yarn about
the doctor who knew little about the cure for most
diseases. but was a ~go-getter when It came to curing
fits If a patient appeared for treatment Of a bad case
Of measles. the good old doctor would promptly throw
him into fits, then cure this attack and permit nature
10 take its course.
There isn't so much difference between the old fits
treatment and the psychology cure, nfter I'll.

About Paved Beach Roads

Residents Of Hidalgo county are anxious 70 see
Cameron county pave roads to the beach, according
to an editorial appearing in The Mercedes News
The interest OF our neighbors to the west Is PROOF
OF the value or bring the gulf coast just as near to
the center Of population as possible by providing
pavement.
The News says:
Presidents Of Hidalgo county are watching with
interest the efforts Of Cameron county in getting their
highways paved to the coast. The Gulf beaches have
proved very popular with people from all over the
Valley this summer and the popularity will increase
as soon as the gaps in the pavement are closed.
Point Isabel and Boca Chica seem to be very jeal-
Gus rivals. and citizens OF both districts are bringing
pressure to bear on the commissioners court of that
county to have their respective roads the first TO be
paved. Residents OF Mercedes, favor the Boca Chica
road because the beach there Is more accessible. II
can be reached without the inconvenience Of a ferry.
Cameron county's road program should not only
include Boca Chica and Point Isabel. it should take
care Of Holly Beach. Although there is no bathing at
that place the fishermen prefer it over either Of the
other two and Valley fishermen are not in small
numbers"

But there were no lonely hearts
In The Wayside House that Satur-

His brown eyes held hers for q

Then he turned his head away,

Chatty saw that 1t was the girl he
had bought flowers for on Easter
Saturday. The girl who wouldn't

For q second Chatty felt a wave OF
jealousy sweep over her like chills

The other day. Jim Cummins. last survivor Of the
old Jesse James gang of bank robbers, train bandits
and cattle thieves, died in a little Missouri town. He
had reached the rip old age Of 81 years. and during
the last quarter century is said to have been a model
citizen. having the respect Of all with whom he came
in contact. But Jim Cummins died in the county
poorhouse. And this is about as convincing proof as
might be offered, We take it, to show that the bust
ness Of crime does not pay. Indeed, 1t is about the
poorest investment any young man can make.
