THE ANGEL OF WAITING

Life can play foul jokes on people some times.
In a large middlewestern city there was a grocer, who worked
very hard and saved his money religtously so that his old age would
be provided for.
saved too hard to have very much fun, but he was looking forward
to the day when he could retire Then he would have his fun. He
would have money and leisure, and he would make up for the years
of hard work.
Well, he finally retred-money in the bank, an assured income,
a nice home, everything he needed. NOW" he told his friends,
Il am going to enjoy life"
And just "a hours after he had retired he dropped dead.
If a novelist put that in a book we wouldn't believe it. We
would say that things don't really happen that way, and we would
accuse the novelist Of straining too hard for an irOnic effect.
But life takes queer twists that are not permitted to good fiction.
It all happened, precisely as it is described here; and all we can do is
admit that there are times when wisdom and prudence are horribly
COMPOUNDED.
AS a matter of fact, this sort of thing happens fairly often-in a
little different way. Not many people who have prepared for a care
free and leisurely old age die just IS they begin to taste their reward,
of course; but they get cheated out of their dues, just the same. They
find that leisure, after a lifetime of hard work, is boredom. They find
that they have forgotten how to play. They find that the empty hours
are depressing because they do not know what to do with them. They
find themselves feeling that they have been put upon the shelf, and
they grow 10 years Older in u months.
Perhaps We aren't meant to be too cautious. Deferring ones
happiness to the end, when one will have time and the means to take
it, is risky. For most of US that gilded tomorrow will never dawn.
If we don't get our happiness along the way we shall never get 1t at all
That is a lesson worth learning. The real JOY of living is not
something that an be banked and drawn on at some future date. 1t
has to be taken from day to day. 1t is compounded usually of many
little experiences. The haze of an autumn afternoon over a flaming
woodland; the confding smile OF a child, nesting in ones arms for a
fairy tale; the smell of a clear wind as one trudges along a beach by
blue water; the sudden revelation of tenderness in the eyes of a loved
one; the brief, vanishing strain of a bit of music-of such things is a
satisfying life fabricated. You must get them as you go along, Or you
will miss them enttrely-Standard, Excelsior Springs, Missouri

LET THE HAM BE THICKER
CFrom the Helena independently

(FrOm III Helena independently
The other day a Helena store advertised the very best
smoked ham on the market for 25a cents per pound if the
buyer purchased a whole ham. 1t is ham from Montana hogs.
fed on barley and alfalfa, picked in a brine with plenty of
sugar in il. then smoked with real smoke from hickory shavings
and sawdust. Think of ham for 25@ cents per pound when only
a few years ago consumers were paying rs cents per pound for
center cuts of sliced ham. BY buying a whole ham the house
wife saves a lot of money and every scrap of a real ham can
be used on the table in some way or another.
This brings to mind an idea fostered by Congressman
Cyrenus Cole of Iowa who asserts that bigger and thicker slices
of ham will mean the return of prosperity to the live stock
growers of the country. His idea deserves the same attention
as the "eat more lamb campaign 1t is far from a foolish
suggestion.
If everyone, says the Congressman, would only slice his
ham thicker, much more ham would be consumed-and the
grower of pigs would find an increased demand for his pro
duct. We hope the railroad dining car superintendents will be
enrolled as charter members in Congressman Coles thicker
slices" society Then the hotels should follow and not cut ham
with a safety razor until it resembles a little piece of dried up
Clipped beef when it is served with eggs.
We are for it, but not solely for the harassed pig raiser
and the meat packers. For, as a matter of fact, ham ought to
be sliced thick anyway. Few housewives realize that ham, to
be succulent and delicious as nature intended, must be cut thick
and the restaurant and dining car cooks who know this could
be counted on the fingers of one hand. But it should. A thin
slice of ham is an abomination; a thick and juicy one is some
thing for epicures to dream about. Now that ham is cheap, let's
kick up a row for thicker slices.

TARIFF DISCOVERIES

General conditions more and more warrant a public YER
dict that our Government went crazy when it adopted the pres
ent tariff law" we read in a Detroit News Qnd) editorial And
notice this in the New York Wond|Telegram Qnd):
1.-The six million unemployed are discovering that the tariff
which killed foreign trade closed the factories in which they
were making a living two years age.
"The merchants are discovering that a tariff which helps
cause unemployment leaves customers without money to buy
the merchants wares.
1.-THE manufacturers are discovering that a tariff which frees
foreign retaiations closes the market abroad which took their
surplus production and made their profit.
1.-THE bankers are discovering that the tariff which prevents
foreign nations from selling to us impoverishes those nations to
the point where they may be unable to pay their debt to us.
"Al these discoveries were made a long time ago by the
economists and experts in international trade.
AFTER a year Of costly experience, business leaders and con
seryatiVe politicians are now joining in the demand for down
ward revision"

TRIPLES

Comparatively few automobile accidents are caused by
criminal recklessness or fragrant errors on the part of the driver.
Most Of them are caused by little mistakes-by allowing
attention to stray from what you are doing; by forgetting to
slow up, or neglecting to look both ways at a busy intersection;
by being in just a little more of a hurry to get somewhere than
the occasion really demands; by becoming irritated or impatient
at the actions of another driver.
These are the kinds of things which drivers are doing all
the time. In most cases, nothing happens. But sooner or later
the right combination of circumstances arises, so that just a
few seconds attention, or just a little too much speed in the
wrong place, put you into the path of another machine.
The careful driver controls himself as well as his car. He
refuses to allow scenery, conversation, a wrecked car by the
roadside or the person in the back seat to distract his attention
from the road. He governs his speed according to traffic,
weather, and highway conditions, curbing his Impotence to get
there, or his irritation at the poor driving of the man ahead.
He is actually safer under the most dangerous traffic, weather
or highway conditions than is the inattentive or irriated driver
under the safest driving conditions-Exchange.

Just about the biggest Washington news of the decade"
Thus the ScrippslHoward press views the new development
in the United States Supreme Court"-the shift of a majority of
the Court to the liberal" side.
Washington correspondents also are deeply imprest by the
change, and editors all over the country are talking about it.
The recent decisions reveal Enthusiastically a tendency of the pro-
foundest significance to the nation" says the Hartford Courant,
and the Ashevnle Citizen adds that cit would not be easy to
exaggerate the significance of the change"
Through the comment runs a strong note of pleased surprise
that the stout, erect. white-bearded Chief Justice Hughes, who
was bitterly attacked as "a hidebound conservative at the time
of his appointment, is proving himself a stalwart among the
liberals"
To cap the climax, the Court on the last day of the term
renders another fvetofour decision in which the liberals"
uphold the freedom of the press by declaring unconstitutional
a Minnesota law under which a socalled scandal sheet" had
been supprest.
Previously, the same fve-Hughes, Holmes, Brandeis, Stone,
and Roberts-had upheld in the Indiana chain-storetax case the
right of the State to impose such a tax. The conservative"
minority in both these cases included Van Devanter. McReynolds,
Sutherland and Butler.
Thus that slender, ninety-yearold man who was hailed years
ago as a great liberal in Jurisprudence, Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, whose hair, long mustache, and bushy eyebrows have
all turned white is no longer alone in his interpretations of the
law. Once the Supreme Courts lone dissenter, he has been

should last several years without
need of refining. But because so
many drivers are stepping on the
foot brake when it is really I'M
necessar- they are finding it a
little more costly to keep their
brakes in condition that should
be the case. The ability to stop
quickly should not b an invita-
ton to drive faster than condi-
tionS warrant.
Instances also have been re-
ported recently where engines
have been damaged through over
heating simply because some of
the newer cooling systems are
so efficient that the car owner
is tempted to overlook the little
detail of adding water to the ra-
diator
Plans for Servicing
Thousands of drivers have tried
to follow regular plans # ser
vicing their cars but have found
that it has been a problem to
carry out their ideas in this re-
Spect. Now, however. with the
new cars requiring less attention
it is possible to put an important
portion of the original plan into
practice.
BY revising their methods of
driving motorists will discover ex-
cellent opportunities for Taking
advantage of the new features of
the new cars. To drive along at
top speed when it is obvious that
the car must be halted at the
next intersection is as WdSteful
as it is illogical
Why not remember that it is
quite all right to run along at q
moderate speed where the brakes
will not have to be used to the
fullest extent. knowing hat as
a result of increased accelera1ion
and higher speed it will be DOS
sible to make up for any lost
time later?
How many car owners, for in
stance, realize that because their
cars accelerate SO much faster at
the flash of the green light that
they are making time gains in
traffic and do not have to drive
so fast and stop SO suddenly?
A changed attitude is demanded
of this years group of car buyers.
For example, while the bodies on
cars are tremendously improved
and are able to Withstand road
shocks to far better advantage
without developing squeaks and
rattles, nevertheless it must be re-
membered that acceleration and
sudden deceleration present new
types Of strain. These alone are
capable of producing annoying
body noises
Whether the new characteristics
Of the new cars will be an advan-
tage or a disadvantage, therefore,
depends entirely on how they are
used, suggesting that car owners
overlook no opportunity to famil-
iarize themselves with their new
possessions before putting them to
the fullest use.
