Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Remember when you were
about thirteen
And no one, in all the world,
understood you-'n' everyone
picked on YOU
And you wisht you was dead?
Then all those old meanies
would find you lying cold and
still, with a sad, sweet, forgiv-
ing smile on your face. AND
THEN MAYBE THEY'D BE
SORRY, BUT TT WOULD BE
TOO LATE!
Remember when you were
thirteen and felt like that?
Remember also (bet you won't
want to- how many times
you've felt like that since you
were thirteen? For, though
you're a big, grown-up girl or
boy now-thirty or forty or
fifty years old, instead Of thir-
teen-it's dollars to doughnuts
that you still have those wisht-
I-was-dead spells. Not as often,
perhaps when they do
come, the symptoms are iden-
tical.
Things have been going on
pretty well. You've been work
ing Misunderstanding youFSelf.
But all the time. you've been
accommodating a sort of rash in
side your soul. Then one day,
it gets too much for you-and
you bust loose into a regular
orgy Of Self-pity.
Sore at Everybody
You're mad at everyone.
You don't want to see anyone
ever again. You won't do your
regular chores. You refuse
dates. You can't eat. There's
only one thing that you wish
to do. YOU WANT TO SIT
DOWN AND BE SORRY FOR
YOURSELF. So you do that.
You stop trying to be polite or
helpful or self-controlled and
you apanQOn yourself 10 gODS
n gobs Of gloom.
You think what a great, no
BILE, generous, golden-hearted
Human you are and how nobody
appreciates you. You think Of
all the terrible things that have
happened to you and all the
dirt that's been done you. And
how you-wonderful You'll
never raised your hand against
a living soul. But now you've
had enough! You're through
You're never going to trust any
one again. You're going away
from everyone. Oh, yes, maybe
your body will have to stick
around at the same old address
but it will be only an Empty

No Dry Wells This Year

Shell for your spirit will be lar,
far away!
THEN MAYBE THEY'LL
MISS YOU!
A Great Soul
Then maybe they'll realize
what a Great Soul you were,
what a Wonderful Worker-and
they'll try to find somebody to
take your place. But they won't
be able to. Nobody'S made who
can take Your place. And they'll
realize at last what they've done
and be terribly sorry. BUT IL
WILL BE TOO LATE!
And all the time-while you're
thinking these things-what is
really happening? Are your
friends missing you? Is the
worlds work stopping because
you have jumped your job? Is
everyone convulsed with sorrow
and remorse because you have
removed yourself from circula-
ton? No, gentle reader, they
are not. No ones missing you.
They are, indeed, secretly re-
lieved that you've taken your
self and your crouch out OF the
picture. You're a Great Guy
when you're regular and they
love you-but you're a Pain in
the Neck when you start pitying
yourself. And as for the worlds
work, it's rolling on per usual
For, shocking as the fact may
seem, there are thousands Of
people who can take your place.
Why Do It?
That's the truth. And, when
you come out of your tantrum,
you'll acknowledge it. you'll
see quite plainly, that you've
hurt only yourself. Then why
do you throw these fits? You
try to say it's because you were
hurt, but you know that isn't
the. real reason. ACTUALLY,
YOU INDULGE IN SELF PITY
BECAUSE YOU WANT MORE
ATTENTION THAN YOU'RE
GETTING. You're tired, may
be-or lonesome-or just plain
ornery. You want to be cod
died. You want people to flock
around you and make a fuss
about you and kiss your tears
away. And they won't. So you
make a fuss over yourself. And
you get a Big Bang out of
thinking that you are the
worlds worst sufferer.

WHY. ...,s

Would Observe
Parents Day.
Editor, Times:

Editor, times:
May I suggest that Mothers
Day, celebrated the second Sun
day in May, and Fathers Day,
observed in June, be combined
to constitute Parents Day and
observed on Sunday, May 10?
It is true that by an act Of
Congress passed in 1912, the
American flag must be dis
played at half-mast on all Gov
eminent buildings on Mothers
Day. Despite this official
recognition the day has long
since lost it's original signifi-
canoe. Today Mothers Day
means little more than the &C.
casion for increased profit for
certain commercial interests.
If parents are to be honored,
why should it not be done in
a suitable way? Why not honor
both parents on one day in
recognition of their joint share
in home making and child rear
ing? The fathers contribution
to family life has too often
been considered merely a fl
nancial one. But with a bet
ter understanding of the i'm
portance of family relationships
has come a realization that
the father exerts a strong in
fluence on the lives of his chill
dren. A Parents Day would
foster in children a proper
recognition and appreciation of
love and devotion Of both
mothers and fathers.
I have no quarrel with the
fine sentiment that created a
Mothers Day, but I feel the
significance Of that day will
be immeasurably greater If

You are cynical, blame condi-

If you are well and your in
