ONCE-OVERS

Say Something Besides 81"
and "Me"
Don't talk too much about
yourself among strangers.
Don't be too anxious to in
form them of your accomplish
ments.
Don't inject yourself too
much into general conversation.
Don't direct conversation so
that it gives you opportunities
to relate some of your personal
experiences.
Every person has taken part
in unusual occurrences at some
time.
Your experiences of this sort
may be of little Importance
compared with those others
might recall if so inclined.
Paying little attention to
others who are talking and en-
Enthusiastically following their
statements with something
about yourself is unpopular.
At times you wonder why
men you meet seem to care so
little for you.
You do not understand why
they display so little interest
and do not care to continue
the acquaintance.
Perhaps you are tiresome,
talk too much and attribute too
much Importance to your own
opinions.
Those who must advertise
themselves have little to COM
mend them.
Actions of those who meet
such people warrant this deci-
sion.
If you have some good quail
ties let others tell about them.

in the main, are particles of
water and particles of dust.
AS KendreW points out in his
valuable work on climate, the
water particles are the more
effective obstacle. They are
usually visible as cloud, and no
instruments are necessary to
tell us that clouds intercept the
suns heat. Even the finest
film of cirrus cloud which is
hardly visible has great effect,
and often the sky is covered
with masses of cloud which
have a thickness of several
miles. The passage of every
cloud across the sun, especially
on bright summer day, causes
a sensible fall in the air tenn
perature.
Cause Low Temperature
Dust particles, and even salts
in crystalline form, chiefly
thrown up from the earth's sur
face. greatly impede the solar
rays, causing a corresponding
lowering of the temperature.
These particles may be blown
up from the earth by winds
or flung into the air by vol
canoes, or even condensed in
the air above salt water areas,
the sea spray drying into fine
salt. The heavier particles are
suspended nearer the earth's
surface; and the greatest
amount of dust particles is
found above arid lands and
wind-swept deserts. Smoke, too,
as we'll as water and dust
particles, carries many solid i'm
purities, especially over large
cities and extensive grass lands
which have been burnt over.

I would much rather have an
unfaithful husband than a
mean, stingy one. And I'd pre-
fer a good-natured wanton any
day to a greedy, grouchy wife.
For I do believe that warm
hearted sinners do much less
harm ip the world than snooty
saints.
That philandering husband,
for instance. I admit he's a
renegade when he deserts his
home. But does he, after all,
harm the home as much as the
old meanie who sits around
and makes it a hell on earth?
Who's the greater enemy OF
society-the man who's happy

who isn't happy any placer
What's The Use
And the Bad Girl-mind you,
I'm not endorsing bad girls,
nor do I harbor any sentimen-

like to remind certain femmes
that Sour Sanctity is as far re-
moved from real goodness as
Dashing Depravity. For, what's
the use of virtue if all it seems
to buy you is a pain in the
neck? ..f..
The great thing in life is
not to live safely, smugly, sane

Editor, Times:
I realize that you are doing
your very best in helping and
relieving the veterans of a
great sufferance. Being a vet
eran in great need 1 don't
think the United States should
do any thing reckless as our
Secretary of the Treasury says
we cannot have our certificates
cashed. I would like to offer
a suggestion that I feel will
help the veterans, also the
Treasury. Instead of giving the
veterans a great amount of
cash so the outside sharks
and pearl divers will reap the
greatest benefit, give the vet
erans 4 or So of his certificate
monthly for a period of one
year, or to the amount the
Treasury at this time can
stand. This allows the Treas
ury to accumulate the sum, and
also would prevent the veteran
from doing anything foolish
with his money, and would pro-
vide ample food for his family.

Another View of the
Soldiers Bonus

Editor, Times:
May I take this opportunity
to express my thanks, along
with others, for the stand that
"our paper The Times" has
taken on the Insurance Ger
tificates" known generally as
''The Bonus?
We have heard so many
stories up to date, including Mr..
Owen Young's. as to the plans
best adaptable to our needs.
Let me say to you, that were
it possible, and if you do not
think me too optimistic, might
I, as a lone veteran, make a
suggestion to you for aid in
outlining a plan Of procedure
for future loans, as well as
those previously loaned to vet
erans?
When, in 1945, the policies
become due and payable, we
will receive full value. provid-
ing, of course, that we have
not got a so-called "loan" on

four per cent interest charges
on our "own money"
Why should a grateful"
United States take this interest
away from those that are
forced by circumstances to bor-
row what is rightfully theirs?
Why should the poor fel-

pay his debts to the business

extent of a half loss of his en-

cases, he can never recover

Mrs. Solomon Says
My Daughter, hear now the
Commandments For the Fat.
For, she that would be sylph-
like and sigheth after slender

Thou shalt not look upon the
spaghetti when it is red. neither
upon the potato when it is
white. For she that eateth
thereof breaketh the first law
Of girth-control.
Thou shalt not rejoice with
revelers, neither consort with
merry-makerS; for laughter and
a light heart are sweet to the
spirit but fatal to the figure.
And NO woman can hope to be
both happy and hip-leSs.
Thou shalt not glorify the
palate, but shall spend all the
days of thy life in the counting
Of thy calories and the meaSur-
ing of thy vitamins. And the
scraping of sauces and whipped
cream from off thy food shall
make bitter thy bridge lunch
cons.
Thou shalt not take comfort
in thy bed, neither in thy
dreams. For to toss upon the
pillow maketh the insomnia a
perfect thirty-six; but to lie
peacefully amid the feathers
after 10 o'clock is to court obe-
Thou shalt not be CHEER

Editor, Times:
I should worry about the
Eighteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution. AS
it exists, it bothers me not nor
does it excite me in the least,
because I'm not ambitious.
Neither may, can, or will its
repeal influence me or annoy

PRAIRIE DOCS
ARE REAL AID
TO BIOLOGIST

According to E. M. Carter Of
Austin, Texas, New Mexico School
OF Mines graduate. prairie dogs
are an infallible guide to the lo-
cation Of underground water
courses. leaving such plain signs
that they may be read even
from an airpiane.
Small colonies OF prairie dogs
indicate the existence OF under
ground rivulets and the size and
extent of the colonies increase
as the underground stream in
creases, Carter says.
Mr.. Carter says he has made
numerous tests Of the prairie
dog theory and has dug wells in
a territory where water has been
Indicated BY prairie dog towns
and has always found it even
though in some cases the shafts
have been dug to a depth OF over
249 feet to get results.

tricts, southwest Of town. appears
to be opening up early in the

working its lease with q crew o.

samples and has just installed o

making preliminary preparations
to open up their leases.
The Ole Mining company, which

were shut down last fan because
of the low price OF silver and
lead and the added expense Of
winter operations. are expected to
resume operations this spring but
the company has not yet made
definite announcement as to when
work win be started again.
Shortly after the shutdown last
fall, superintendent Jack pugaE
said that It was the plan Of his
company to repoen the mines this
spring.
