of business instinct. It is not

not even enough to secure a

essential to know how to mar

and to reap the golden reward
of inventive genius and bust

Eli Whitney was born on a
farm in the township of West

1858. The crude skill of his
father as mechanic reappeared
in young Eli in a form approx

with tools. he showed even as a

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

7 Owe certainly defies analysis!
~ Poems, stories, novels,
dramas have been written about
love since the very beginning
of civilization. History has been
made and upset because of love.
Love has activated music, paint
ings. sculptures.
Love has made people happy
as we'll as abjectly miserable.
It can undermine the strong
est men. 1t has reformed Crimi,
nails. 1t has softened the hard
est hearts.
But love, whatever it may be
or in whatever way it may at
feet one, is as necessary and
indispensable to the spiritual
side of a human being, to his
soul. as are food, drink and
fresh air.
Love is manifest everywhere.
1t always was and always will
be. We can't do without it.
The individual who tries to do
without love does so at his own
peril.
We often say: Love is blind"
What do we mean by that?
We probably mean that when
a person is in love he or she
is unable to perceive any faults
in the beloved Object. Or. If
the faults are recognized, they
are lightly passed over and do
not influance the lover to any
appreciable degree.
That's correct. Of course! The
beloved is always over-idealized,
placed on a pedestal, worShipped.
In true love, reason flies out
of the window. Love is an
abandon of the spirit that
ScornS consequences.
Love is hope. Love is full Of
anxious fears.
Love can make us angels as
we'll as devils. Love can eXalt
us as well as debaSe us. Love
can bring out the best. Love can
beget the worst.
Love is a desire for ownership,
companionship. Love is humil-
ity. Love Is conceit.
Equality has no place In love.
Love is sacrifice.
Love can stimulate. Love may
paralyze.
Love cannot be concealed.
Yes, love is all of these things
and whole lot more! Nothing
is so contradictory as love.
Because love is what it is
so uncertain-love confuSes us
all. AS Shakespeare wrote, "Oh,
how this spring of love resent
bleth the uncertain glory of an
April day."
Yet the expression of love is
an absolute necessity! It is no
exaggeration to state that with
out love even health cannot pre-
vail,

were not so fearless, If it were
less contradictory. il it were
more calculating what do you
suppose would become Of the

NOBODY will deny that the
~ HOME is the worlds great
est institution.
To some men it is a hotel, to
some a hospital. to some an
asylum. and to some reforma-
tory. And if those aren't in
stitutions," what ARE they?
Lots Of society men are
merely transient guests in
their homes. dropping in only
to eat. sleep, shave, and change
from their tweeds or their golf
knickers into their evening
clothes. Occasionally they meet
their wives who have just
returned from Florida and are
packing up for Paris.
Other men regard "home"
as a rest cure or a Sanitarium,
where they can go to be nursed.
when they are too ill or tagged
out to go anywhere else, and
can linger until they get back
on their feet and can get OUT
again.
In such, a home it is merely
a matter of treading softly,
muffling the bells, suppreSsing
the children, and listening to
symptoms" until the Good
Provider can get back to the
office" and begin again to
slave for the things that make
the wife and family happy"
Then, there is the Home Re
formatory, which a man enters
all unsuspectingly, when he is
under the anaeSthetic of love,
and, where he wakes up after
the honeymoon, to discover that

he INDUCES in free speech or
unwittingly breaks a rule"
Or. it may be the wife who
is being uplifted and remodeled.
Some men and women are born
reformers, and, when they find
that they can't run the rest
of the world. they take it out
on the hapleSs creature they
married. and thus vindicate
themselves.

STAY OF FRAUD
TERM is DENIED
Defunct Rubber Firm Head
Must Serve Term.

Legal efforts of S. Homer FEEDER
man, former treasurer of the de-
funct Steinbrener Rubber Company
of Noblesvcille, to obtain a stay Of
his three-year Leavenworth peni-
Tertiary sentence for using the mails
to defraud, failed today.
Federal Judge Robert c. Baltzen
denied his clemency petition, which
was filed after Federman lost an ap-
peal from the local federal court in
the United States circuit court Of
appeals, and failed to get his case
before the supreme court.
Attorneys indicated that Baltzell's
denial of the petition also will be
appealed. Federman offered to pay
1900 to the receiver for the COM
pany if the sentence service was
withheld.
The company crashed after 1t
was alleged 100000 in bad checks
had been distributed. The Hunt
ington County State bank and the
First National bank of Noblesville
failed as a result of the rubber COM
pany crash.
Presidents of these institutions
were convicted in federal court in
December, 1923 along with FEEDER
man, but their sentences were sus-
pended.
