Did Power Trust Aid in the
Defeat Of CramtOn?

The defeat Representative Cramton for denomination
his Michigan district attributed to causes
cIudng his prohibition stand and his legislative arrogance
but just much did the Power Trust aid in his elimination
from Congress?
January g. in speaking to the House upon his BILL later
passed by Congress purchase lands for park play
ground purposes along the Potomac River Great Falls
Camton ayed the power interests for opposing the measure
and incurred their enmity.
Mr. Cramton specifically named the Byllesby and insult
power groups seeking to gobbe up Great Falls and the
gorge of the Potomac River for commercial purposes and
destroy all Identification plans He the nation would
not tolerate egsatng away this rich heritage of natural
scenery adjacent to the Capital in favor of destructive power
development In concluding Mr. Cramton said:
"The Bylesby people demand that this park bill
be defeated unless pouOer Development is expressly
provided for. To It is astounding that selfish
priUate interest should lay doGUn uItinGtunr
the nation to Legislation intimately and i'm

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

To claim that deceiving one
self is the greatest crime un-
doubtedly sounds like an exag-
gerated statement.
Yet it is an undeniable and
indisputable fact.
Practically all of the failures
Of life, no matter what they
may be, can be traced back to
self-deception!
From criminal habits all the
way down to the comparatively
harmless pretenses of posing
for what one is not, in the last
analysis it will always be re-
vealed that the basic cause was
some convenient excuse.
The individual with delin-
quent tendencies invariably
thinks he is more clever than
the community and the police.
Unless he is distinctly patho-
logical he will tell you that his
course of behavior is juStifiable,
although at heart he knows bet
ter.
The boast he makes to you
he would not make to a beloved
one-his mother, for instance.
No, he dislikeS to deceive him
self with plausible anadynes of
self-deception
And so it is with the more
petty pretenses to which human
flesh seems to have fallen heir.
We make believe that we
have money, or social position
even that we are beautiful.
often, to be sure, we deceive
no one but ourselves.
But the point to be stressed
is not whether our self-lying
succeeds but whether by such
posing we iujure ourselves!
That we certainly do.
Deceiving yourself Swerves
you from truth, and truth is
the worlds greatest stabilizer.
Deceiving yourself makes you
lose your sense of values and
that invariably leads to further
disaster.
Deceiving yourself also is
likely to make you eowardly,
Suspicious, mistrustful.
