Bad habits, once they are acquired,
stick closer to you, year by year: and
when at last it Is desired to shake them
off, they still adhere. A man is careless
Of his debts, he doesn't pay his bills on
time, although he knows the merchant
dime. Perhaps he has the coin on hand
to pay all bills when they are due, to
pay for hat and tie and shoe. But he's
acquired the habit vain of making
every merchant wait: he gives his
creditors pain, and they denounce him
as skate. So he builds up punk re-
nown, he's lost his grip, he cuts no ice;
there is no merchant in the town who
wants his trade, at any price. The
stand-off habit grows apace, like any
other sort Of guile. until fellow has no
place among the delegates worth while.
Another man is prompt to pay his
monthly bills when they appear; he
settles for the bales of hay, and for the
case of Volstead beer. He sends the
useful picayunes to Baker Jinks and
Clothier Jones; he pays the grocer for
his prunes, he pays the butcher for his
bones. He could not soundly sleep at
night if he owed money here and there;
he takes keen and sane delight in
paying bills, In being square. So he
builds up splendid fame, unmarried by
stand-off type of sins: and merchant
princes bless his name, and only wish
that he we're twins. Perhaps there
comes fateful day when he is broke,
and needs some coal: and he hears smil-
ing dealers say, BUY what you want,
you need no roll" This sort of habit
closer grows, It rides the owner till he's
old; and he who has 1t always knows
it is an asset, good as gold.

Forget It.

It sounds silly when q person tells
you to forget something which pains
you, doesn't itP Yet we have certain
amount Of control In our hands when
it comes to memory. We do lot OF
forgetting when we don't want to; why
shouldn't we make q business Of forget
ting distressing and oiScourag1ng
thingsp
Memories are like birds. When We
want to keep them, we can cage them
like canaries and have them sing sweet
songs to us. II they are as ugly as
crows and keep caw-cawing ct us, we
can give them the air where they
belong.
Perhaps you've been sypped out Of
some little Joy which looks big when
close to the eye. Naturally, you tend to
brood over this like hen over a set
Of eggs. Like the hen, you hatch out
lot of ugly ducklings in the shape Of
ever 90 many more sad feelings.
Maybe you've been cut out OF the
attentions of some boy friend who now
seems as much out of your life and as
desirable as the Prince of Wales. If he
were the only man in the whole U. 8. A..
you'd have a right to be grumpy, but
you know there are others.
A tilt of this sort is some Jolt. After
the crash, all of our machinery rattleS
as though we were coming apart. we've
been hit In our pride, which Is more
sensitive than the solar plexus that the
doctors talk about. It was worse than
the removal of a pair Of cranky tonsils.
Just here Is where the forgotten comes
In. You can put out Of your mind the
fact that you were dished out Of so
much happiness, and start with clean
slate. You can put the forgotten on the
map the way you pour bucket Of water
on q camp FIRE. You can use that part
Of your brain market oblivion"
When straight forgetting seems too
difficult and you can't bounce the blue
memory which will hang on, you can
drive out one idea with another-the
memory Of one face by the living image
of another. Think Of something or
somebody else. Let one nail drive out
another ia the board and AL the hole
which the first one leaves.
A clever cat In the house can drive
away all the mice, so that you can put
the old mouse trap away and save the
cheese. In the same way, . good, brisk
thought will relieve your young mind OF
all these little gnawing memories.
mental mouser Is probably the thing
you need TO make you happy.

II there are perspiration marks, touch

polish coats the marks. leaving them
white. It does not do anything but
whiten them, however.
The perspiration has already ruined
the gloss of the gloves wherever 1t has
left its marks, so no harm is done there.
But this Shows why the shoe polish
should not be applied to places other

Of the gloves themselves will be restored

Original Explanation, Ac- cepted By Coroner's Jury, Was That Defend
 Murdered Mother and ant Shot Man Who Had Child-1nsurance Cited.

sebring, Fla, April 4 tP}-William R. Carver, former Philadelphia real estate man, was held in jail here for questioning today in the axe. killings of his wife, and -year-old' con, which a coroner's jury had blamed on negro yard boy, whom Carver shot to death.
 Mrs. Carver and her boy were killed in the Carver home here We'd nesday. The coroner's jury said the negro, Ben Whitehead. had killed them and that Whitehead's death at Carver's hands was justihable homi- eide.
 Insurance Policy Cited
 Carver was arrested late yesterday after officers learned that he was beneficiary in a s10,00O insurance policy of Mrs. Carver, taken out last December. States Attorney Grady Burton ordered the arrest.
 Sheriff Oscar Wolff said stains re- sembling blood had been found on a pair of Carver's golf trousers. He also said that an examination of the body of Whitehead failed to dis close any blood other than what ap- peared to have come from his own wounds.
 Testimony at the coroner's inquest said the Carver's were enjoying their regular seista when Mrs. Carver was awakened by a noise in her room. She cried out when she saw the negro at her dressing table, filling his pockets with her jewelry. Carver, it was testified, was in an adjoining room and rushed to his wife just in time to see the negro fell her with an axe. While he picked up his pis- tol, the coroner was told, the negro killed the child with the axe. Carver fired four shots into the negro, re- loading his gun and fired twice more.
 Questioning Delayed
 Questioning of Carver was de- layed until today when the states at torney and sheriff again could get together, it was announced.
 Officers quoted Carver as saying en route to the jail that it looked as if they are trying to railroad me by placing my word against that of a negro" but the officials would not comment on the statement.
