Age Necessary to Give
Proverbs Full Flavor

Among the best known old say
ings are those dealing with sour
grapes, looking the gift horse in
the mouth, the prophet honored
elsewhere than at home, haste and
waste, honesty and policy. One
might say, indeed, that there are
no such things as new proverbs
since, like wine, they are in need
of age to make them worth while.
The very definition Of a proverb /:
"a short, sententious phrase, long
current in common Speech" shows
that age is necessary to produce
the lasting flavor"
In Sterne's Sentimental Jour-
ney" occurs one of the most beau
tiful phrases In the English lam
guage, "God tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb" But it was not
original with Sterne nor does the
Bible have it. The phrase was picked
up by a writer, George Herbert,
about 1910 and was cleaned by him
from a Sixteenth century proverb
Of the French, who, in turn got 1t
still farther back from some Latin
writer. The Latins, again, may
have brought it down from Turkish
or oriental sources, as these are
rich in ancient proverbs.
Every old nation has a wealth OF
proverbial sayings, one Spanish au.

give a great deal of attention to
brake adjustment. tire initiation and
proper fabrication.
1t may seem strange that the aver
age American higl way should be
more dangerous than the speedway.
yet. this is the fact. due largely to
thoughtlessnes3 of many otherwise
normal people.
On the race track we know what
our competitors are going to do under
most circumstances or emergencies.
But who can tell on the highway
whether or not the driver in front of
you is going to swerve out at you
just as you are passing him? This
sort of thing is done times without
number. in order to avoid holes. an
animal. hat. or what rot.
1t is all right if the scene is
country road and the next car is fifty
or more feet back, but thoughtless
or incompetent drivers do it in con-
gested traffic, When cars are running
two and three abreast They have
no consideration for anyone else on
the road. And the result is acct
dents
They turn corners without giving
proper signals to those behind. They
turn corners too fast in ninety cases
out of every hundred And when
stopped by the traffic lights. they
itch to make quick getaway. 1t is
this latter practice which causes a
large number of minor accidents and
some serious ones.

Malay Quick to Resent
Hurt to Personal Pride

Personal pride and the emotion Of
love are the most frequent causes
of murders in the Philippines,
leading strangers to conclude that
life is lightly held and murder Is
committed over mere trivialties.
The current police calendar would
confirm that opinion. Over love, an
intermediate schoolgirl stabbed her
classmate, another girl, to death
with 46 wounds-veritably cutting
her body to pieces, and the juvenile
murderess seemed scarcely per-
turbed when arrested, confessing
all. Over personal pride peasant
slew q household, four persons,
man, wife, and their two children,
with his bolo. Given to drinking,
he was making a drunkard's bolster
GUS Roadway past the house. The
man, thinking to shame him, scold-
ed him from the window overlook
ing the street, and called him "un
borrachin," common drunkard.
Less than five minutes later he had
wiped out the family. A Malay is
never to be safely insulted in the
presence or hearing of third parties.
