COMMAND. That young brain
held the feeble body, the fright
ened spirit, in place. Nothing
to fight with but THOUGHT,
but with that he won out, over
death. And saved the others.
And you?
When your test comes as per-
haps it has come
When you're caught by some
storm of fate-trapped and
lost in a madness of need-and
your hearts going mad with
fear-what will you do?
THINK, DARN YOU-THINK!
Stop whimpering! Stop being
sorry for yourself! Stop count
ing up the horrors around you!!
Stop letting your feelings ride
you. FOR THEY'LL ONLY
RIDE YOU IN CIRCLES. Feel
ings cannot guide you, cannot
lead you out of a jam. There
is no SENSE in feelings
only SENSATION. They are
literally a whirling madness in
your blood-a spouting ecstasy
or agony from a score of
glands. You might as well en-
trust your destiny to a dose OF
hives or an attack Of giggles
as to your FEELINGS. Feel
ing cannot guide you, only
THOUGHT can guide you.
THINK, DARN YOU-THINK!
Think honestly and bfavely,
what got you into that jam.
Think sensibly and quietly
what you can do to get out OF
it. You can always do some
thing. Nearly always it will
be a very simple thing. Just
such simple, sensible things as
Bryan Untedit did-burning up
books, making the big children
to keep warm. Nothing very re-
markable about doing such
simple things, particularly when
you're craving a lot OF noisy,
dramatic. action. But drama
when you're in a jam, is US
bad as plunging heading into
a blizzard. Do the simple
things-the NEXT things-the
self-controlled things. Do enough
of such things and you'll get
out of any jam.

Inhumane" Treatment
of Rats Discussed
Editor, Times:

CuLLOT1 CUCSC'
Judging by the harsh criti-
cism of j. F. Oertel, he is not a
lover of our dumb friends. He
even begrudges the unfortunate
rats the food they eat. Every
thing is put into the world for
a purpose, rats as well as other
things. They are living, breath
ing, creatures of flesh and
blood, therefore have feeling.
He says rabbits run on broken
legs for days without suffering" ;"
How does he know they are not
suffering: he must be a vivisec-
zionist. They may be suffer
ing agonies, but each animal
has its own way of bearing
pain, and being dumb they can
not tell us.
A cat or dog will run and
hide when suffering pain: One
has also heard of humans put
ting themselves to torture when
trapped by an enemy. There
is no reason to put any animal
to extreme cruelty, be it rat,
or otherwise. NO. save my
sympathies for the dumb crea-
lures; they show more gratitude.
Myself, a sufferer of extreme
pain, at times unbearable, 1
have never received much SYM
pathy from So-called humans.

Good looks may not be more

surmountable obstacle as you
think. Some of the most un-
attractive men have been among
the most successful men.
Certainly the fact that a man
is homely is a slim excuse to
give for his failure to advance.
There are more important
things about a man than the
contour of his face or the
strength of his physique.
One of the important points
for success is clothes.
Suitable clothing, worn well,
the right neckwear and strict
attention to sartorial require

What would you do if you
were a little boy of 13 lost in a
blizzard, with 19 other little
lads?
Nothing outside your shelter
but a whirling horror of white
nothing inside but a creeping
tide of cold, a fire that failed,
screams that slowed to whim-
perings, Stiffened to death
A little boy of 13 alone for
the first time with death
What would you have done?
Screamed for your mother?
Shrieked with fear, as the others
had shrieked-at first? Or, mad
with fright, gone leaping into
the snow?
Bryan Untiedt did none of
these things. Wanted to do them
all. But Driver Carl had left
him in charge. So he stuck.
Kept moving. Made them fight
to keep warm. Ripped his
clothes, one by one, from his
skinny young body to wrap
around the little brother, whom
nothing could save. Today the
whole world knows the story
and calls Bryan a hero. But

that way.
