Peters, the coach, twisted on the
bench to take quick, inquisitive glance at TINS
shouting girl. Smiling briefly to himself he
turned his eyes back to the ice where lanky
youth in red jersey swept down into Visalia's
defense zone.
Frantically trying to clear shot at the cage,
the skater swerved, hesitated momentarily to
spoil a broad-shouldered defense mans timing,
and caught his opening. Bob Bakers lips
frightened In one fleeting glimpse Of the net he
knew, with the confidence born of experience,
that he could Just nick the net. The power OF
desperation went into his stick Then green
jerseyed body charged him from an angle and
into the sideboards he hurtled.
Next he was off the ring arguing madly with
the coach.

Haven't you got it straight yet that your only

The angry youth in red jersey was seething.

full into the disheveled center's face once more.
"On this club" he said grimly, I'VE shoot
goals at the opponents cage-not lefts to his
face When you get the simple fact into your
head that the ice is a rink and not fight ring,
come back and see me, HOBBY Baker!"
IA nth the last words the coach's dark eyes
w turned momentarily from the blond youth
at his side to the girl in the beret. Then they
went back to the ice, while Bob Bakers face,
flushed before, became brilliant sunset red.

ing it up with pretty gestures.
None of these things will cure
that madness in the blood
which we call worry. That
madness in the blood can only
be curbed by GOODNESS in the
brain.
A MAN CAN CHOOSE NOT
TO WORRY!
Consider your own anxious
self, May. You can say:
Yes, I'm filled with the
makings of fear. That's a
hangover from my savage days.
In just the same way, I'm
filled with the makings of muir
der and theft and other forms
of savage, stupid violence.
And there are definite rea-
sons for fear, just as definite
reasons for fear today as there
were $4,000 years ago.
BUT I HAVE SOMETHING
TODAY THAT PEOPLE
DIDN'T have $4,000 YEARS
AGO. I HAVE THE POWER
OF CHOICE IN ME; THE
POWER TO WEIGH AND
JUDGE EXPERIENCES, TO
DECIDE AND CONTROL MY
OWN ACTIONS.
Il can, and 1 should, realize
the dangers of modern life:
but I can also realize the ad-
Vantages and safeguards of
modern life.
FOR EVERY REASON
WHICH I HAVE TO BE
AFRAID. I HAVE ALSO A
REASON TO BE SURE; AND
I CAN DELIB ERA TELY
CHOOSE WHICH REASON I
WILL THINK ABOUT-THE
REASON FOR FEAR, OR THE
REASON FOR CONFIDENCE.
Fears Vague Things
For instance, every day I
worry frightfully lest my little
girl may not come safely home
from school. I have taken all
reasonable prec autionS, of
course, but still I worry. I think
of automobiles, kidnapers,
vicious strangers, fires-a thou
sand perils. Every day I think
of these things until I'm sick
with fear.
Does this daily spasm of ter
ror help me? To be perfectly
honest, it doesn't. 1t couldn't
possibly prevent an accident.
And it works me into such a
state that I'm snappy and mis-
erable for the rest of the day.
I've become a perfect nuisance
to my family through worrying.
"Yet I could stop it. I have
the power. Instead of choosing
to think about dreadful things,
I can think about delightful
things. Instead of thinking
how dangerous it is for my
little girl to live in this swift,
powerful age, I can think how
lucky it is.
st CAN DELIBERATELY RE-
FUSE TO LET UGLY, WEAK
ENING THOUGHTS ENTER
MY HEAD, JUST AS I WOULD
REFUSE TO LET VICIOUS,
FILTHY PEOPLE ENTER MY
DOOR.
For life is what we make it.
Life is as we choose to take it."
How does a civilized person
cure himself of worrying? That
is how.

It Is the Public
Who Make the Market

Some people have the i'm
preston that the stock mar
ket is a very vicious thing;
that men on the stock mar
ket, the brokers, are wholly
responsible for hysterical
buying and selling of stocks;
that we could dispense with
the market. Some therefore
found it hard to understand
what Mr.. Whitney meant
when he insisted that his
organization is merely a
market place where men
with stocks may sell, or
others, wishing stocks, may
buy.
He tried to explain that
there is nothing unnatural
in occasional rushes Of peo-
pie to dispose of their
stocks. In these days Of
wild rumors, human nature
is a bit apprehensive. Fear
moves men; and fear does
not always reason. This is
especially true when people
have lost confidence.
There would be neither
buying nor selling Of secu-
rites if only the brokers
were concerned; it is the
public who make the mar
ket. Some moron starts the
story that a bank is in
bad way, and there is a run
On the bank; some rumor is
set afloat and men rush to
the market to liquidate their
securities. That is called a
"bear raid - And great
many people assume that
Mr.. Whitney and "his
crowd - manipulate the
whole thing.

A Necessary Aid to
Legitimate Business.

The market is the best
barometer Of feeling among
the people regarding busi-
ness conditions. It also is a
necessary aid to legitimate
business. We are reminded
by Mr.. Whitney that the
closing of the market
"would freeze the security
for bank loans of between
$5,000,000,000 and $6,O00,-
100000" " There is more
common sense in a sagging
market now than there was
for the hysterical soaring
market of 1928 and 1929;
f or business conditions
should determine.
When a corporation or
industry that has paid good
dividends declares dividends
off it is not a proof of tur-
pitude for investors to sell
their stock; it is remarkable
when corporations tn t
never paid a dividend find
their stock soaring to 200.
That is the reason that the

DICHARD WHITNEY, of
~ the New York Stock Ex-
change, evidently was not in
the least embarrassed by the
fusillade Of senatorial ques-
tions fired at him this week
because he has nothing dis
reputable to conceal. Some
time ago it was reported that
Administration circles wished
an investigation of "short-
selling" with the idea that it
would reveal some dire po-
litical or international con-
spiracy Of the bears to ruin
the country and its business.
Then it was recalled by some
that our real trouble in
America began as a result of
the work of the bulls in 1928
and 1929; and it was decided
that this bull movement
ought to be investigated.
Thereupon interest was lost
for a time.
Then, the other day the
Administration forces in the
Senate, with the approval of
the President, according to
the press, was impressed with
"story" of a billion-dollar
pool which was intended to
smash the market. 1t was
intimated in some quarters
that European governments
were concerned - and that
seemed silly. But some Sena-
tor got a telegram telling all
about it. It appears that the
telegram was sent by a
gentleman intimately identi-
fled in a political way with
the President. And so Mr..
W hitney was summoned.
And thus far Mr.. Whitney
has been a boomerang.

and trying to dig 1t up again,
or to revive it with pulmotor.
She just can't let it ALONE!
And that is where she makes
her fatal mistake.
Once love is dead, it cannot
be resuscitated. But many an
expiring love would catch it's
breath and come back to life,
if a woman would only say
GOOD-BY mot au revoir) at
the psychological moment.
And then stick TO it!
The error of the average
female consists in hanging on
and waiting for love to die.
When that tired look begins
to creep into a mans eyes,
and that bored note into his
voice, it is time to go out of
his life, forever"-and STAY
out.
A love-affair that has been
broken off may sometimes be
patched up and revived. But
once love has been burnt out,
aSphyxiated or smothered, there
is nothing to do but order the

People Rushed to
The killing"

The stock market was a
market where people bought
and sold; but from no quar-
ter was so much done to in
toxicate the public mind and
lead it into the frenzy of
speculation as from the gov
ernmental quarter. The aver
age man with meager busl-
ness experience and little
business judgment is prone
to be suspicious of the
man who seeks to sell him
securities. So many Of the
average men have bought oil
wells and gold and copper
mines that all stock was
looked upon with suspicion.
But the average man
trusts his Government or
did.
And when in the midst Of
the frenzy of speculation he
found the leaders of the Ad-
ministration, the President,
the Secretary of the Treas
ury, the Secretary of Com
merce issuing frequent state
ments implying that every
thing was sound, he felt safe
in taking his money from the
savings bank and mortgaging
his home and his car to get
money to invest in securities
that had no corresponding
value behind them.
Even when the time came
that every one, not positively
drunk with hysteria, knew
there would have to be a
era sh, these encouraging
statements continued to come
in streams from public Off
cials in the highest places.

Worry was not only natural

Worry made man baricade

So worry became woven into

l929 is more interesting az

ket of days Of depression
and fear.
Here Is the
Story.
Mr.. Whitney thinks that
the general public was edu-
Gated into buying securities
by the Liberty Loan cam
paigns. There is nothing
wrong in that. The Liberty
Bonds were the best invest
ment in the world. The
campaigns did good work in
every sense. There was no
gamble to it. But the balIy-
hoo in 1928 and 1929 for
securities, at outrageous
heights, of businesses that
barely paid dividend, was
quite different. And that
campaign Of hysteria was
encouraged by leaders in
Government, too. And there
is the culpability.
Mr.. Whitney freely ad-
mits it.
In these questions and
answers we have placed a
heavy part of the respon-
sibility for the madness
which has wrought our ruin.
Q-The influence of peo-
pie having the attention
and confidence of the pub
lie boosting things, would
contribute as much as any
thing the brokers said,
would it not?
A-Unquestionably,
Of the President of
the United States should
in such a situation make
the boosting statements,
the Secretary of the Treas
ury also, and other great
leaders of public thought,
it would tend to carry that
thing on, would it not, just
as much as any broker say
ing it?
A-Yes, sir.
Q-About that time the
whole country had about
reached the conclusion that
poverty was about to be
abolished in our country
forever, had they not?
Ayes, sir. A new era
was with us.
Q-And great public men
were leading the country to
think along that line, were
they not?
A-Yes, sir.
Q-And the high-powered
salesman was being tre-
mendously aided by the
high-powered political agent
of prosperity, was he not?
Ayes, sir.
And there is the story on
which we have dwelt many
times in these columns.

DRASTIC PLAN FOR
FARM AID OFFERED
Subsidy and Crop Curb Are
Outstanding Provisions.

By Scripps-HowGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Second
of the two most amazing farm relief
proposals made to congress in recent
years was before the house agricul-
ture committee today, as it resumed
its inquiry into both plans.
This No. 2 bill, supported unani-
mously by organized agriculture
(the first time this has occurred)
and said by his agricultural adviser,
Henry Morganthau Jr, to fit exactly
into the farm relief program pro-
nounced by President Elect Roose-
welt in his Topeka speech, combines
a farm subsidy with a general tax
on the products of at least four
commodities, an unemployment hun
ger relief proposal, at least one more
tariff, and an acreage reduction
scheme.
1t is designed to curb production
of wheat, cotton, tobacco, and corn
as we'll as hogs; it provides a bounty
on the. domestic portion of the four
crops; and is intended to operate
only while farm prices are below the
levels of pre-war days.

BRITAIN PUTS PERSIA
FIGHT UP TO LEAGUE
Empire Defied in Dispute on
Oil Concession.

By United Press
GENEVA, Dec. 15.-Great Britain
has referred her dispute with
Persia over cancellation of the vast
Anglo Persian Oil Company'S con-
cession to the council of the League
of Nations.
The British foreign Office asked
that the matter be given earliest
consideration, ard it was considered
likely that the council will discuss
it Monday or Tuesday.
The dispute, which has led to
talk of war, may result in the
leagues sending a commission, sim.
liar to the Lytton Sino-Japanese
commission. to Teheran to exam
inc all aspects of the problem.
The Persian government Wednes-
day made it clear that it will stand
firmly on the cancellation and defy
Great Britain's demand for a
withdrawal.
