A New York vocational guidance
expert advises people who are not
happy in their jobs to save their
money until they can make a
change. She might say, too, that If
people are not taking happiness out
IF their jobs they would do well to
see that they are putting into those
Jobs everything they have to give.
What you get out of your job in the
way of contentment depends upon
what you are willing to put into it
in a day to day effort.-Grove Pat
terson, in the Mobile Register.

been devoted since 1918 to the
prevention Of war had been
spent on the prevention of
automobile accidents there
might be some real accom-
plishments to point to. AS it
is, Americans are being killed
and manned on the streets
and highways of this country
at about the same rate at
which American soldiers fell
IN the war. One difference,
Of course, is that in war only
men were killed and wounded.
Automobiles do not respect
either age or sex. Women and
children, young and old, APP
pear in the casualty lists.
There are at least a dozen or
carnations in Chicago alone
which are earnestly engaged
IN seeking to prevent the
slaughters Of war. Relative
" little attention is paid to
the slaughters Of peace. This
is doubly curious in view of
the fact that the automobiles
Kill year in and year out at an
ever increasing pace while
wars occur relatively infre-
quently. Last year 10000
Americans were killed in mo-
tor accidents and thus far this
year more than 100 have
been killed in Cook county
alone. In ten years, at this
rate, 100000 American lives
will have been sacrificed, and
in 90 years 100000. That is
about a dozen times as many
Americans as were killed on
the battlefields Oh died of
wounds received in the blood
lest war which men have ever
engaged in.
These facts are not recited
with a view to minimizing the
horrors Of war OF encourag-
ing the military men to i'm
prove their techniques of
slaughter to keep pace with
civilian accomplishments in
this line, but rather to en-
phasize the fact that auto
mobile accidents in our day
constitute a major problem of
our society second to none in
humanitarian interest. If
wars continue despite the eff
forts Of those seeking to pre-
vent recourse to them, the
people of this country cannot
hold themselves exclusively
responsible. Engli S h m e n,
Frenchmen, Japanese IN d
Russians, and the rest of man.
kind must share the blame,
and we can hardly be held &C
countable for their acts. But
Americans have no parallel
excuse for failure to reduce
the automobile fatalities. IF
the motor deaths continue at
the present pace it is because
the American people haven't
the intelligence or the human
ity to stop them.

Storms in the Southern

LARGE GOLD STRIKE
REPORTEDIN SINALOA

An arabian Nights" tale
told by Manuel Llantada' OF
poverty stricken peon becom-
ing wealthy overnight, by
picking gold nuggets from
dry washes and Jumps OF
gold from mountain sides
with pocket knives.
Federal troops, according
TO Senior Llantada, have been
called to the scene to main
tain order but even the pres
ence of armed soldiers has
failed to stem the gold fever
which has swept, like an cpl
demic, throughout the state
of Sinaloa and MeXicans. IN
all ranks of life despite the
difficulties encountered in
reaching the region are
swarming into the gold area.
The town of Guadalupe de
los Reyes, before the gold
discovery was only a small
Mexican village with a few
stores that took care of the
needs of the regions poor in
habitants, is located 80 miles
east of the Southern Pacific
of the Mexico railroad at a
point about halfway between
Culiacan, capital city of ST.
naloa, and Mazatlan, the me-
tropolis of the state. The
gold field is located at the
foot and on the side of a hill
known as Gel Tamblor" and
is in a wild and desolate re-
gion difficult to reach
Until a few months ago
Llantada was a clerk in one
of the stores in the little vii
lage. A friend told him of
the discovery of a small pla-
Ger claim at Ell Tamblor, and
asked Llantada to look it
over. Llantada went with
him and as they walked up
an arroyo specks of gold
glittered in the sand. Several
small nuggets were found be-
fore they reached the end of
the arroyo, Llantada told a
group of friends.
Then started a frantic
hunt for the source of the
gold-the dream of every
proSpector to find the mother

MESSAGE OF EASTER
OURINNORTAL HOPE

Easter has become the
symbol of the bright side Of
life-the JOY, the good, the
light, the immortal hope of
humanity. 1t is ushered in
with the songs Of birds, the
renewed grasses, the green

spending JOY in the hearts
of men. 1t is a day long
looked for, eagerly expect
ed, halloWed by dreams and
visions. 1t is a day of new

the past take flight before
its radiance. Were we un-
happy yesterday? Today
that is forgotten. Easter is
the dawn of a JOY year. All
things are possible again.

Easter Lilies

Of all the flowers that
open in the spring none so
beautifully typifies the re-
ligious sentiment as the lily.
The Easter lily has become
the symbolic flower of the
resurrection of Christ. Once
it was known as the Persian
Beauty, but tradition tells us
that the flower turned from
yellow to white as the Virgin
pluck it and held it in her
hand. 1t is also known as
the Fleur de Marie, the
flower of Mary. Dante spoke
of the Easter lily as the lily
of the Arno. Tasso called it
the golden lily and Solomon
sang of the "lilies OF the
field" st. Joseph's staff
buddied and lilies bloomed
forth.

Joyous Spring

Easter is a universal pag-
cant, south of the equator as
we'll as north, and in the
southern hemisphere Easter
is a time of falling leaves, OF
harvested crops and of ap-
preaching winter. To those
who live on the neither side
of the world there is no ma
terial manifestation of re-
birth at Eastertime. To them
it is a time of spiritual re-
newal, a resurrection Of faith
sufficient that it overcomes
the frown of approaching
winter skies and eXaltS to
certainty the hope that even
winter ends and spring must
follow in the unending march
of the seasons.
