Average Person Getting Too Little From Life

8. Do you mark time instead of
marching?
9. Do you ask too little of religion,
of morals, of marriage. or of any other
factors or facts of life?
SLOT down on sheet of paper three
squares" Doctor Cadman recommends
further. "Let the first stand for emo
lions, the second for brain force, the
third for will power. Then trace your
actions, mental and moral. Which of
these squares will contain the largest
number of motivations for these &C.
lions? There is but one answer, that
representing emotions. Far too many
of these are random outbreaks of feel
ing, unrestricted impulses, lunches
that do rot hunch."

Reach Man Through Ego,
Says Expert on Matter

The adage that 'the way to
mans heart is through his stomach"
is old and honored, but it is not ex-
actly true, protests Elinor Bailey
Ward, adviser to girls il Smart Set
Magazine.
Before we have a man to cook for
we must reach him through his ego.
Ego is not conceit. A small boys
ego is shown in his boasts of his
physical prowess, of how his dad can
beat up all other dads, of how his
mother can bake the best pies, and
so on.
Ego carries over from the snail
boy into the man.. 1t changes its cut
ward expression, but it is the salue
ego. You must encourage it in him.
Wasn't it wonderful that he was So
rapidly promoted! Isn't he kind td
take care of his invalid mother! You
90 wish he'd explain baseball to you.
Dear girls, there are a thousand
ways of feeding this ego. Sympathize
with him, and, if you can, let him
help you. He likes that.

Although a successful motion pic

only recently that Arthur Ripley
made his first motor trip into the

to the work of that board. There
was no opposition from any of the
witnesses testifying.
In commenting on this bill. Mr..
Der1ckson explained the necessity
for a uniform law in the fruit and
vegetable industry. At the present
time, p States have laws of various
kinds. which are intended to provide
some form of regulation. The law in
each State varies from those of the
other States and while the fact that
Il States have already adopted some
regulation, indicates the wide inter-
est in bill of this kind. The prob
lem would be much better solved by
a uniform regulation which would
apply to all of the States in the
Union. Mr.. Derickson also cited the
fact that the agricultural products
OF the State of Delaware were dis
tributed in the towns and cities of
Fl different States during the year
1928, and that the city of New York
receives its food supply from an
average distance Of 1900 miles. TT
can readily be seen that when pro-
ducers and shippers distribute their
products over such a wide territory,
1t is necessary thai some uniform
regulation be provided in order that
they may be assured of the same
protection regardless of in what
State their products are sold.
Mr.. Newton and Mr.. Derickson
consulter Senator Townsend, Sena-
tor Hastings and Congressman
Houston in regard to this bill. All
of them indicated their approval, !

before the committee in support of

Oats may be easily terminated in
