COLUMBUS LETTER
(Bv ChaS. w. Rife

Recess date has been finally de-
termined by the members Of the
Ohio general assembly, but the final
adjournment date is as indefinite as
ever Both the house and senate
have agreed to recess from April 10
TO April 27 when they will reassem-
bic to handle the big issues of the
session. These will include the tax
alton problem, the budget for the
next two years, and several pet mea-
sures of members. Appointment of
a steering committee is expected, but
the desire to get on this committee,
which will have considerable power,
may delay the matter until about the
recess date. Not much has been
done as yet, but some mighty inter-
esting issues must be solved before
final adjournment, which may or
may not come before June l. OF
these of course the taxation bills are
the foremost.

scuttled down from the trees

Prof. Warren weaver, Of the
University Of Wisconsin, has
recently given many examples
of practical problems, from
which the three following are
chosen: .--.
What is the probability, in
an elimination tennis tourna-
ment involving 80 players, that

What Is the probability that

Theory is Reliable
The influence of the theory
of probability upon our lives

credited, because of its very
magnitude. Insurance concerns
are exceptionally stable, be-
cause the theory of probability
is so reliable when applied to
large numbers. The people Of

great significance. Ex-Presl-

The life insurance organiza-

great pride and satisfaction to
the country at large. They are
a stupendous force enlisted on

Kentuckian Pleads
For State Library
Editor, Times:

Editor, Times:
During our three years in the
executive mansion we have
felt the need of a library, and
it has suggested the idea Of es-
tablishing in the governors
mansion a permanent Ken
tuckyana library, not only for
the great pleasure of the future
occupants and their friends,
but to give lasting honor and
recognition to the host of Ken
lucky writer's who have since
the appearance of the famous
DR.. Walker diary been contrib
uting outstanding books on
many and varied subjects to
the literature of the world.
There are no funds or appro-
priation for this collection, but
our hope is that each living
Kentucky writer may share the
vision of what a collection Of
this character will mean to the
future of Kentucky, as a dis
tinctive memorial to it's gifted
writer's, and lend his coopera-
tion in carrying to completion
this idea by sending auto
graphed copies of his renditions
and helping to bring all this
other books Of Kentuckians
into this permanent Kentucky
library.
The most perplexing prob
lem now confronting us in
this undertaking is to find
through the cooperation Of
former Kentuckians the means
of securing the complete works
of some of the well-known Ken
tucky authors who are no
longer living.

Bigger Medicine Than Fear
Judge Ben Lindsey told me
this story:
He had to sentence a Bad
Man Bold, a 100 per cent
Tough Guy, who'd been raising
Cain for months. It had taken
the police weeks to catch him
and he'd threatened to bust any
Jail they put him in. Yet, after
conviction and a little talk with
the Judge, he hoped a train,
unescorted, and delivered him
self at the penitentiary, $50
miles away.
Sounds like Ripley. doesn't it?
Well, believe or not, that's what
happened? How? Why?
pride" said Judge Lindsey,
"I put it up to him. I told
him, nothing could keep him
from serving his stretch and he
knew he deserved to serve it.
And I intimated that I'd have
to send a heavy guard with him
BECAUSE HE WAS PROBA-
BLY, AFRAID TO FACE THE
MUSIC. That reused him! He
came back at me in a flash.
''Look here, Judge" says he.
''Do you suppose a guy like me
that has faced mobS and pulled
off the stunts I've pulled, is
afraid to go to prison. Then
you got another guess coming.
I never needed no bodyguard to
look after me when 7 was doing
my stuff and I don't need no
bodyguard now I'm not one
of those white-livered cutters.
If I've got to go to the pen I'll
go, AND I'LL GO ALONE!"
And he went.
PRIDE sent that man up
alone, to face the music. PRIDE
would have saved him from the
pen-if it had been used in
time. But we're only beginning
to see that pride is worth using
that it works infinitely bet
than punishment, than fear.

ONCE-OVERS
On Complaining Wives

~41 ~OAAAE
While some wives are re-
sponsible for the advancement
of their husbands, thousands
are responsible for the reverse
of advancement.
Complaining wives rob hus-
bands of the aggressive spirit.
Berating a husband because
he has not advanced to the ex-
tent of his friends and &C
quaintances is not the way to
spur a man on.
It is fallacy to think a
man can be shamed into doing
better.
Greater incentive Is what a
man needs and kindly express
sions of confidence in his abb
ity to progress.
There must be conviction
back of it, not merely selfish
desire.
If a man believes that his
wife is governed by purely sell
fish reasons in promoting his
ambitions he will not respond
as Fundamentally as he would
to more altruistic motives.
If a wife's wish for her hus-
bands success is that she may
have additional, unnecessary
things all the time, is not in
spring to him.
Married happiness is mutual
benefit when there is co-opera-
tion.
With one of the other
trying to gain selfish ends in
advance .1ent, complete family
happiness is impossible.
This is one of the reasons for
so much diScord in many
homes.
