Take a Dare

AOAO - O"AO
Rather than withstand some
jibes and comments do you
often do something that you
know you should not do?
Many of the things which
bring sorrow, regret and loss of
money, friends and regulations
are the result of daring to do,
rather than not to do, things
that involve a sort of risk.
You have as little judgment
and self-control as a kid-you
won't take a dare.
Why not stand up and re-
fuse absolutely, and stick it
out. when you know what the
crowd wants you to do is inju-
rious to health, happiness, con-
tentment?
You cooperate with a person
who advises you to throw dis
Cretion to the winds thereby

Killed by Grief
Over Emmet

She lived, however - a
tragic figure; and finally
married an admirer after
frankly telling him that her
heart was buried in the
grave with Emmet. Soon
she died. Washington Irving
in a sketch told the story in
part in "The Broken Heart;
and Tom Moore wrote one
of his most moving poems
about her:
"She is far from the land
where her young hero
sleeps,
And lovers are around her,
signing:
But coldly she turns from
their gaze, and weeps,
For her heart in his grave
is lying"
A powerful drama could
be written around the story
of these two bright and ar
dent young spirits
Curran had had another
reason for his fury with his
daughter. His wife, an at
tractive woman, had become
infatuated with a minister Of
the Gospel, and had fled with
him. That had made him
particularly careful to guard
her daughter; and the love
affair had been carried on
under his roof, in his pres
ence, and without his knowl-
edge. His life was a sad
one; which may be the rea-
son that he was one of the
greatest wits Of his day. He
smiled to keep back the
tears.
Thus, there are stories in
stones-like that in the
churchyard of st. Paul's-if
one only knows them.
The Washington times., 1932-06-22

Curran, the daughter of the
great Irish orator and
lawyer whose defenses of po-
litical prisoners are in
cluded among the greatest
orations in the English
language. I have in my
possession a letter from
Robert G.. Ingersoll, declar-
ing Curran to have been the
greatest orator produced by
the British Isles. 1t is an
astonishing thing that with
such material in this story
for a novel or a play there
has been nothing of the sort
worth mentioning-if, in the
nature of a play, there has
been anything at all.
Curran lived near Dublin
at his home called the
Priory, where he constantly
entertained the choicest
spirits of the time. He was
the most brilliant conversa-
tionalist in England, or Ire
land, one of those who scin-
tillated at the dinner table
of Lord Holland in London.
The young men of promise
sat at his feet, as at the feet
of a master. Thus, when
Robert Emmet, son of an
old family, began making
frequent appearances at the
PriOry no one suspected that
the magnet which drew him
was not the genius of the
father, but the charm and
beauty Of the daughter.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

Our forefathers had no such
idea. They were quite willing
to be happy whenever occasion
afforded the opportunity, but
they didn't bank on it. They
didn't permit it to be a deter
mining factor in shaping their
program.
UNHAPPY.
THEY BELIEVED THAT UN-
HAPPINESS WAS AS NOR
NAL A PART OF LIFE AS
HAPPINESS AND AS NECES-
SARY FOR GROWTH.
THEY PREPARED THEM
SELVES TO BE UNHAPPY.
THEY FELT THAT THE
GREAT TEST OF MANS
CHARACTER LAY IN HIS RE-
ACTION TO UNHAPPINESS.
THEY FELT THAT A REAL
MAN LIVED AS SIREN
UOUSLY, AS ENTHUSIAST
ICALLY AND AS ABUN-
DANTLY WHEN HE WAS UN-
HAPPY AS WHEN HE WAS
HAPPY
AND THEY HAD NO USE
WHATSOEVER FOR CRY BA-
BIES AND CUTTERS.
And I think they had the
dope. Happiness is delight.

ture people demand happiness
in order to live richly. any
more than they should demand

sachet?
st. Paul's Words
Often I think of something
which that stiff-necked, two
fisted old fighting Christian,
st. Paul, once said. History
does not record that he was
ever a very gleeful person; but
he certainly wanted to have
his own way, and for many
years he saw to it that he did.
If ever a man was bent on
having his own grim concep-
ton of happiness, it was st.
Paul; yet he was fated to en-
dure agonizing years of dis
appointment and disaster. But
he stood steadfast as a great
rock through it all, putting his
personal prejudice and pleas
ure aside with proud contempt,
as a warrior lays aside the
silken trappings of his idle,
foolish days.
And down the years come
his words, a ringing challenge
to those feeble souls who are
not able to dispense with hap
pineSs.

SPAKE AS A CHILD. I UNDER
STOOD AS A CHILD. I
THOUGHT AS A CHILD; BUT
WHEN 7 BECAME A MAN I

Happiness was childish
thing to st. Paul; a lovely
but not a necessary thing. A
man could do without it. A
man had to do without it if he
accepted the full challenge of
existence. took all the risks,
made all the experiments a
man must make. And a man
could bear Ito see through a

Between trying to keep up

THAT pal who believed the
last word in wrestling hip
podrome had been spoken
must visit Goldie Ahearn'S
Boiling Field screams and be con-
vinced that he only knew the half
of it.
Gentlemen, Mr.. Ahearn's employees
from the Bowser stable of tumblers.
mutterers and grimacers are the final
word in noise, nonsense and acting.
When you have seen the best stunts
produced by Jack Curley's covey of
beeves, you merely have witnessed
where the Bowser flock begins.
A packed Boiling Field hangar last
night saw the unfolding of another
BowSer show, an extravaganza in
mirth, misery and muttering. From
the first act on the FIVE lent card,
featuring that aged gentleman of mat
dumb, Joe Vargo, and Danny Winters,
until the final one in which Don
George pushed the face belonging to
Marvin Westenberg into the mat to
call it night, the cash customers
argued, laughed and threatened, final
ly to scram out into the evening air
with all of the exuberance which fol-
lows night at the circus.
What these boys are doing on the
mat down there in Anacostia is
new game entirely. 1t isn't wres-
tling nor is it anything else. It's
well, it's something you should not
miss, because it may take on like
midget golf and there you would
be away behind on a popular fad
in an age when a day behind means
you're out at the plate.
For instance, it was IS years ago
when a wrestler doffed his black mask,
and your humble pal gazed into the
noble Greecian features OF none other
than Joe Vargo, then one OF the
masked marvels Of the masked day of
wrestling Today the boys mask all
they know of wrestling. However, 1t

But the Bool knows his stuff. He

a few flying tackles from Clivio and
then ducked out of the ring to get an
other pair of rasslin' breeches when the

White Sox Trying
Sully as Receiver

CHICAGO, April 10 P).-Young
~ Bill Sullivan, son of old Bill
Sullivan, who was a star catcher 25
years ago, is Manager Lew Fonseca's
latest Chicago White Sox backstop
experiment.
The elder Sullivan caught for the
Sox when they won the world cham
pionship In 1906.
The younger Sullivan, who is
studying law at Notre Dame week
days and playing with the Sox Sat-
urdays and Sundays, played part Of
last season at third base. He hit
WELL but during his short service,
managed to make more errors than
any third baseman In the American
League.
Fonseca has decided to drill him
in the art of catching, and hopes
he will prove more of a success than
Smead Jolley. Jolley worked as q
catcher during the training season,
but abandoned the experiment and
returned to the outfield.
