Now Before Senate
Eligibility of General Crosby Is Outstanding Issue

Senate is to pass upon the nominations of District
Commissioners made by President Hoover
the large District organizations urged the President
not to appoint former Army officer civilian comms
soner and thousands Of citizens who hold that opinion
vigorously carry their objections to the Senate the conrma
tion of Gen. Herbert B. Crosby may be so easy.
The Presidents prestige and power not to be unders
mated Nothing less than convincing evidence of inegbty
will induce the Senate to against General Crosby That
evidence to many is overwhelming
are other who do that view or who
seem to feel that is futile to fight the nomination
These citizens include those who that to strongly op
pose the Crosby selection would show lack of respect for
President and possibly indicate hostility to Armv or Navv
officers.

YOu Must Go Through a Door
By Elsie Robinson

IFE is like a big house.
- There are many rooms in
it. You grow by passing from
one room to another.
When you are tiny child you
live in the warm, sweet room of
babyhood. After while you be-
gin to grow restless. You want
to get out of that tiny room into
the next room, where you will be
a big boy or big girl of s. SO
presently your little feet slip IN
consciously across the threshold,
and you are in that next room.
And then, soon, you are cross
ing another threshold into ado
lescence-into maturity-and so
on and on into the many rooms
of your life. Rooms where you
are to live a little while and tnen
pass on.
You're remembering some Of
those rooms now, aren't you?
Those first few working years
they were a room all by them
selves, weren't they? You did a

Your college years. Those first,

before the babies came.

through which you've passed
when you were ready for the
next room.
Sometimes you could see the
door through which you passed.
That chance to go into busi-
resS with Jones. That was a
real door into new life. The
night Will asked you to marry
him, Rose. That was another
real door, marking off the old
life from the new. Graduation
from Hi-that was another
door, wasn't it, little partner?
Doors--so many doors. Pleasant
doors. And some that aren't so
pleasant. Some that are so mar
row and dark that we don't
realize they are doors at all.
Pain and loss failure
and humiliation struggle
and grief we can't realize
that these dark places are door

We hate them and try to avoid
them and struggle. bitterly,
when we find ourselves passing
through them. And, sometimes,
rather than endure them, we re-
fuse to pass on " and stay
in our old room that we should
have outgrown.
But, if we have the courage
to go on, we do find that they
are doors-doors that open into
the noblcsi rooms of all.
If you want life you must 60

DON'TCLUTTER.
YOUR MIND
nON'T clutter your mind with
~ all sorts of information that

nON'T clutter your mind with
~ all sorts Of information that
cannot possibly be of any value
to you.
Useless information clogs the
memory. Therefore, keep your
mind clear.
Remember that the mind is
like a storehouse. Like every
other store, it is bound to mold
a considerable quantity of wares
that are useless.
One cannot help entirely
piling up useless information in
the mind.
One should, however, try to
keep down such rubbish to the
lowest possible minimum.
Don't for instance. try to re-
member all the telephone num-
bers you hear.
Remember the important
ones, the ones you use frequent
ly, and let the rest go.
It may be a stunt to remem-
ber all the numbers you ever
hear. But what of it? What
use is it.
Don't try to fill your mind
with technical terms, unusual
names. or big words in order to
show off.
Don't attempt to memorize a
lot of uncorrelated dates in his
tory.
Don't fall into the habit of
remembering the names of per-
sons you are not likely to meet
again socially.
You cannot exercise the mind.
train it and improve it by un-
Serviceable thinking.
The mind should be used and
stimulated, but this can never
be done by weighing it down
with cumbersome, fruitlesS bal
last.
It's not what you store in the
mind so much as the way you
use it that counts.
Hundreds have scored signal
success with but meager knowl-
edge behind them.
They were, however, masters
Of the little they knew! What
they had was useful. They knew
how to apply it!
Therefore, try to make your
memory stock-on-hand as selec-
tive as you can.
Don't put away in your men
tai storehouse facts that will
stale.
Keep your mind shelves clear
and orderly.
Inspect what you have now
and again.
Don't add things that will
crowd or obscure real values.
Don't be like some college
graduates who have crammed
their minds so full that they
are choked with facts, but find
they don't know how to apply
them.
And a good memory, by the
way, is no sure indication that
the mind is of a high order.
AS a matter of fact, persons
possessing strong imagination
frequently have poor memory.
The desire or urge to fashion
ideas and images of ones own
runs rather counter to the mem
ory faculty which often is pho
tographic and takes in facts and
occurrences whole.

For and About Wives

For and About Wives
A S LONG as a man is in love
"A with a woman. he won't
argue with her; but when a
woman won't bother to argue
with man, her love is dead.
It's real love, if your young
husband. can get the same
thrill out of seeing you in a
new spring hat for which he
has Just received the bill, as he
did out of seeing you in the
ones your father paid for.
Of course, a woman should
have perfect faith in her hus-
band; but even the Scriptures
don't require that she should
go so far as to let him select
his own trained nurse.
The great advantage of being
married to one man is that all
the others feel that they can
come to your parties and pay
you all those devoted little at
tentionS-with perfect safety.
When a wife succeeds in con-
vincing her husband that stay.
ing at home evenings is a
duty, naturally, he ceases TO
regard it as privilege or pleas
ure.
The average mans notion of
an ideal wife is a sleight-of-
hand artist who can furnish a
Ritz-Carlton menu on a quick
lunch pocketbook.
Somehow, the public an
nouncement of his engagement
to marry always makes a man
look and feel as foolish and
self-conscious as though some
body had handed him a baby
to hold.
A man can survive a heated
quarrel with woman; but
what takes the heart out of
him is her desire to warm it
over, every day for a week af-
terward-like the Christmas
turkey.
Heat expands-and soon a
mans heart will be- expanding
so under the warm spring moon
that it will take half a dozen
women to fill it.
All roads lead to Rome
and all modern love-affairs to
the forbidden kiss.
