quire an exclusive monopoly for
so years to lay submarine cables
across the Atlantic from the
shores Of Newfoundland.
Field threw himself into the
enterprise and during the course
of his efforts to lay the cable
made 80 trips to England. The
first attempt, after three years
of preparation, was made on
August S, 1857, when the Ameri-
can ship Niagara sailed from
Valentia to meet in mid-ocean,
if possible, the British ship Aga
memnon. The breaking of the
cable on the Niagara 335 miles
from Valentia was a heart-break-
ing finish to the first attempt.
Field, a man of unbreakabie
resolution, was not to be dis
couraged by first failure. The
same two ships, the next year,
set out to meet each other,
which feat they accomplished
on June 25. After three unsuc-
ceSsful attempts, the two ends
of the cable were Spliced, and
the ships started off, paying out
the cable, one for Ireland, the
other for Newfoundland.
More than 200 miles of cable
had been successfully laid when
a break came, just 20 feet from
the stern of the Agamemnon.
The project was again aban-
doned, only to be resumed a
few weeks later. Success was
achieved, and for several weeks
messages between the two con-
tinentS were exchanged. But
finally on September l the cable
ceased to work. Gloom sue
ceeded elation. Great was our
diScouragement," says Field,
''and severe also were our strug,
giles to raise money for what
seemed to many people TO be
an insane venture"
So severe were the financial
hardships imposed upon Field
by these failures that he had to
deny his family many luxurieS.
One of the family exclaimed:
"Oh, if that old cable were only
at the bottom of the ocean!"-
to which Field replied: THAT
is just where I wish it to be-"
And then on the fifth attempt,
in midsummer, 1865, it was,
finally successfully pla,c ed.
From the United States Con.
gresS Field received a gold
medal and a note of thanks for
his monumental achievement,
Of incalculable benefit to man
kind.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Here's a sentence to chew
over: "HIS MIND NEVER
MASTERED HIS FEELINGS"
That sentence was written by
Prof. Walter B. Pitkin, Of Co
lumbia University, in an article
about woodrow Wilson in
which he shows the inner agony
of that strangely defeated life
Ia life defeated, not by out
ward circumstances, but by dis
order within the man himself.
woodrow Wilson had a great
mind, Splendidly trained. But
great as it was, that mind was
never able to control his turbu-
lent feelings. And his feelings
spoiled life for him.
It will help you a lot to think
about that distinction between
mind and feelings" and the
conflict that goes on forever
between those two departments
of your life. THOUGHT and
EMOTION, two czars squab-
bling for the one empire.
With emotion grabbing the
throne nine times out of ten.
And there's reason for that.
It is not easy to THINK.
Man hasn't been THINKING
very long. he still does it
clumsily, inadequately. But it
is easy to FEEL, for we've been
FEELING since life began.
Nine-tenthS Of our time is spent
in feeling. A scant one-tenth is
spent in thought. But one hon.
est thought is worth a million
feelings.
It isn't easy to tell the diff
ference between feeling and
thought. Many Of us don't
know that there is any
difference. We flatter ourselves
that we have strong ideas on
various subjects but very often
they're not ''ideas" at aIl-but
simply camouflaged emotion.
Prejudice isn't THOUGHT
suspicion and superstition
aren't THOUGHT. They are
FEELINGS-the various fruits
Of hate and fear.

EMOTIONS HAVE NOTHING

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

Everybody has a chance of
growing old these days. Three
score years and ten is no longer
considered the top-noth Of lon
gevity.
Medical science has made ire
mendous progress.
Twenty years have been added
to the life span during the last
century. The day will come when
to live to be one hundred will be
common.
We often fear old age because
we think we will become useless.
But that need not be.
Even if i'll, help is available
everywhere nowadays. And If
we only needed the laws of hy-
g1ene and health that science
teaches comparatively few per-
sons would become chronically
bedridden.
But as things stand now you
don't know but what you may be
one Of those who will become
very old.
Therefore get ready for old
age as early as possible.
Be moderate in all things!
Especially be moderate In
eating, drinking and the use of
tobacco.
Watch your health and get
q physical examination every
year or two.
Develop hobby. .
Take an interest In things
outside Of your immediate oc-
cupation.
Learn to love the great out
doors.
Exercise in the open air
every day.
Don't neglect amusements.
Try your best to like and
find comfort in books.
These few precepts will help
w ASep you a1erC, cOQCented
and vigorous throughout the
passage Of the years.
Free from passion, ripe in
Judgment, calm and serene.
your old age win be a veritable
blessing and truly a badge Of
honor.
Old age need not be useless,
either.
Plutarch learned Latin at
seventy. Cato took up Greek
at eighty. Dryden did not be-
gin his famous translation Of
the Iliad until he was sixty

time you THINK A THING
OUT instead Of FEELING TT
OUT you advance q little
further from the jungle.
That doesn't mean that
thoughts should eliminate feel
ings. Much that is finest in
life springs from noble emo
tions. But even the noblest
emotion will run amuck un"

PHYS a grand thing, but 1t

kind which have accrued from
the laying of cables on the
ocean floors for the transmits
sion Of messages from country
to country, from continent to
continent. The most mighty of
all such cable-lay1ng achieve
mentS was the laying of the
Atlantic cable. Field has been
called "the Columbus of modern
times who by his cable moored
the New World alongside the
Old"
Cyrus West Field, the eighth
child and seventh son Of David
Dudley Field, was born in
Stockbridge, Mass, on Novem-
ber 80, 1919. His father was
pastor of the village church,
and he lived in a narrow at
moSphere which afforded little
or no opportunity for the de-
velopment = of his talents.
Young Cyrus removed to NewG
York, where he was not too
proud to work as an errand-boy
in q store. Later he removed to
Lee, Mass, where he went
into business with his brother,
Matthew D. Field, a paper manu-
facturer. The partnership came
to an end with a dismal flnan-
cial failure.
Young Field set up in busi-
ness for himself, and by his
energy and business gifts, he
succeeded in amaSSing a fortune
Of $3.50, 900 in 13 years. At the
age Of "a, he was enabled to re-
tire from business with his for
tune made.
However, Field was an ex-
tremely energetic person, and
quickly entered upon a great
task which taxed all his efforts
for many years. After meeting
F. N. Osborne, the Canadian
scientist, who had already laid a
cable between Prince Edward
Island and New Brunswick, Field
conceived the grand idea of lay
ing a cable between Ireland and
Newfoundland. Putting his busi-
ness talents to work, Field soon
succeeded in enlisting a large
amount Of capital in the huge
project. Peter Cooper was made
president of the company,
named the New York, New
foundland and London Tele-
graph Company. The company
was supported chiefly by En-
glish capital The promoters
were sufficiently fortunate to aC-

Defense Of Liquor
From One Who Konws

Editor, Times:
The great and good gentle
man who wrote such an
eloquent and unbiased denun'
ciation of liquor and liquor
drinkers in The Times OF Octo-
ber II should be decorated for
original, thorough and sus-
tanned thinking by the Anti
Saloon League and kindred
bodies.
He describes in narrowing
terms the wrecks that liquor
builds. Perhaps the dear old
gentleman might suddenly no
tice the ''corpSes" that prohibi-
ton piles up so quickly and
effectively.
He admits that liquor doesn't
kill very fast; so, evidently, he
stands up for the noble ex-
pertinent" because it achieves
fatalities much quicker and
very seldom leaves its victims
helpless human hulkS.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Sander
son, people who drink exces-
sively are still as numerous, II
not more numerous, than be.
fore this wonderful era OF
prohibition, and the liquors
they imbibe are many, many
times more dangerous than the
stuff they could get before the
blessed period was uShered in
Also, Mr.. SanderSon, it seems
to me that it is perfectly all
right for you and your fellow
thinkers to abstain from the
fatal juice of the grape or the
corn, seeing as how it would
undoubtedly cause harmful ef-
fectS on your persons; but it
is presumptiousneSs to force
your views on SO per cent of
the population who can drink
with moderation and intelli-
gence. After all, at least 10O,-
100000 Of the population have
average intelligence, you know.
In the final analysis, Mr..
Sanderson, you will find an
imbiber of liquors many times
more human and useful as a
citizen than a self-righteouS
"blue nose," and a million
times more likely to fare well
with God, for shopping and
censoriouS people are an ahomi-
nation. GTNO.
