Steel common was one of the

is that some action on stabiliza'
ton of prices is nearer the truth.
This has been in the air for some
time, and an announcement to
this effect now would more than
make up for any further decline
in production the rest of the
month: Buying Of steel yesterday
came from well-informed quarters,

''The Great Northern railway

Ralph Budd, president, stated
this today in answer to a query
from the Pioneer-Press-Di Dispatch,

The railway will continue to
keep its property in the highest

During the last five-year period
the Great Northern railway had

the mythical Man from Mars would
be astonished by some of the modern
sights and customs of this planet.
The amazement of this mythical
visitor, however, would be as nothing compared
with the amazement of those who walked the
earth only a century ago.
In its external forms, its speed, its variety,
its stimulation, this is a vastly different world
than that our grandparents knew.
Some few peSsimistS yearn for the So-called
good old days, but most of us have little fault

fourscore years ago. 1t is a different world,
and most agree it is also better world than
that of grandparents.
This great change is of most Importance when
we consider personality health. 1t may affect
our bank account and our comforts profoundly
but the more significant effects are likely to be
found in its stamp upon human personalities
1t is this way
Personality is an index of the difficulties you
meet in adjusting yourself to your environment,
and the success or failure of this adaptation.
The world has changed, but human nature
has not. Unborn human nature today is the
same as it 20 centuries go; there are the
same basic desires and tendencies, but the
ternal world has changed so that many Of these
are now frustrated or must find indirect
expression.
. There is still some argument among psy-
DesS~
Unborn human tendencies are but psychologists
same as it was 20 centuries ago; there are the
these springs of action and conduct which must
be given a chance to express themselves, and
that If they do not find channels for direct or
even indirect expression there will be distortion,
perhaps even disease of the personality.
Much human striving, restlessness and un-
happiness undoubtedly is founded upon Unborn
tendencies which have been frustrated.
IN the easy-going old days when there
less competition, less hustle, less social slim
ulation than we live in today, 1t was un-
dOubtedly easier to live and to express these
Unborn drives than 1t is now.

maladiustment was conceivably a rare occur

Mile S,uin Fourth Time: Heated Sanot Games Are Carded Today
Snakes Were Not Rare
When Liquor Was Good

Here's a real fish story. Our cor
respondent at Richmond, Va, sends
in the following:
A Richmond fisherman brings in
this story after day at a nearby
pond. He had taken the necessary
lure for fish in q small minnow
bucket and some refreshments for
himself Sitting quietly on the bank
Of the pond, with his lines ready for
action and a pronged stick just to
hold his pole, he heard a slight noise
in the grass nearby and saw snake,
which he described as nearly
feet long, with large frog kicking
vigorously in its mouth.
The fisherman grabbed his pronged
stick, placed it behind the snakes
head and, catching hold of the frogs
legs, pulled 1t from its perilous posi-
ton and threw it into the water.
Then, as the thought struck him
that 1t was mean trick to play on
the snake, he thought to reimburse
it for its loss. Having nothing more
convenient than his refreshments he
poured some down the snakes throat.
The snake wiggled away rather
spryly and was soon forgotten by the
fisherman
In about half an hour, however,
something hit him in the back as he
sat watching his lines, and on the
second blow he turned around. There
right behind him was the same
snake. 1t had another frog in its
jaws.
