RIDICULE, BEFORE HIS
CHARACTER HAS "SET" AND
HE'LL BE A FALLEN CAKE
FOR LIFE.
Every day you meet charac-
ters that have fallen like that.
Characters that "fell'' in the
young years, under the nagglng
and meddling of some older
person of someone who
wouldn't give the youngsters
time to "set."
Never does pride fizz as furi-
ously, reach as widely, as in
the teens. Never does it fall
as flat, under a chilling draft.
Let Him Alone
Give the other fellow time to
rise-time to do his stuff.
Maybe you don't understand
what he's trying to do. Maybe
you don't approve Of the way
he's doing it. Maybe you think
he's stupid and clumsy and
slow. Never mind-GIVE HIM

I'm mad. I've spoiled a cake.
A gorgeous chocolate cake-one
of those trick affairs that you
must let bake, very slowly, for
40 minutes. During which time
you mustn't peek, lest you let
in a draft. If you let in that
draft while the cake is rising
before the bubbles have set
and hardened in the dough. zee.
the cake will fall.
Well-you know me. I couldn't
wait for 40 minutes. Had to
peek. There it was, rising beau
tifully-getting ready for its
big act. But that act will never
come off, now. For I let in a
draft. Chilled the bubbles
killed the fizz. And the cake
fell.
Disgusting-to do a thing like
that, just because you can't con-
troll your impatience and curios'
ity. Yet how often I've done 1t
to things more valuable than
cake.
HOW OFTEN I HAVE DONE

Pretty Much Alike
Cakes and characters-they're
pretty much alike.
Common enough ingredients
in both Of them.
Plain flour and butter, sugar
and eggs and flavoring in the
cake. ordinary sense and
decency and humor and initia-
tive in the character. Nothing
very remarkable about either
mess. Can't tell whether the
flour will make fine cake or
sloppy gravy. Can't tell whether
the character will end in a man
or a moron.
But there's something in both
of them.
Something in the makings Of
a cake.
Something in the making Of

then goes to attack the women who have taken up
business
They" he declares ptiful sight The Of enOg
raphe really believes that apart from earning their
wages they something in the world whereas all the

Jeering at the Student

AAS az kAAC OOuNCAV
You may not have a fun-lov-
ing manner and you have not
much use for the studious,
sedate sort of person.
You think he is trying to
show his imagined superiority.
You like the hail-fellow kind
and pride yourself on being
that sort.
You like to allude to what
you have attained in compari-
son with those who make much
pretention of mental accom-
plishmentS.
AS a surface thinker you may
be all right and have done
fairly well.
But if you are honest enough
to think a little deeper you
might be able to see that more
earnest study and concentration
would make for more success
than you will ever have.
Invariably the allow
thinker ridicules the slower
processes of the deep student.
Life seems too short to you
to spend so many years in
silent study.
But suppose the world was
composed entirely of surface
thinkers?
Men of your kind who go
through life the easiest way and
take a chance on being able
to put things over when the
time comes, would not get very
far in the world of science.
Your kind would not keep
enterprise, industry, develop
ment and expansion on the
up grade and in an ascending
scala.

Editor, Times:
Mr.. Ebert's letter of April 3
was the truth. If Mr.. Ulmer
wants to keep a dog, then take
it out in the country, away
from us human beings. The
city is not a place for dogs. I
wish the licenses on dogs were
$1OO. Then we. the working
class, who work at midnight
until z a. M, could get some
rest and sleep without the bow
vows. I'm not against dogs,
but I'm against having dogs in
the city. The country is the
place for dogs. I hope Robert
E. Ulmer will take a hint for
humanity's sake.
I Again say Mr.. Ebert is
right and Mr.. Ulmer is wrong.
What is any more disgusting
than to see dogs in a PERSONS
arms, where there should be a
child? Mr.. Ulmer said Mr..
Ebert damned the dogs. Well,
he can read this and he will
know that I double-damn them
if they are located in the city.
