WISE WORDS

Good order is the foundation
Of all good things.
An intelligent man judges the
present by the past.
He is now at rest: and praise
and blame fall on his ears alike.
Policemen are soldiers who
act alone: soldiers are police
men who act in unison.
The man who makes no mis-
takes does not usually make
anything.
All great alterations in hui
man affairs are produced by
compromise.
Be no ones boon companion.
You will have less pleasure
and less pain.
The world is full Of pots
calling the kettles black.
The concessions Of the weak
are the concessions Of fear.

for packing thought close and

A Weapon Against Dope
Every State Should Enact Uniform Narcotic Law

The New York Legislature deserves unsnte credit for
acting the Uniform Narcotic Law proposed by the Federal
Government for application to every State.
It hoped that New York would be the first to adopt it.
+ That honor goes to Nevada.
However, New Yorks prompt action encouraging to all
who believe in further strengthening the forces aligned against
the narcotic evil and will furnish excellent example to the

and so she's dreaming still!
But now, as I said before,
she's getting mad. For, in
spite of these years and years
and YEARS of beautiful, un-
selfish, devoted-almost conse-
crated-planning. nothing has
come right. Indeed, she's be-
ginning to think that some
malignant Fate has deliber-
ately planned to make every
thing come wrong.
A college course? The folks
had laughed at the very idea!
No use telling them that the
world was losing its Greatest
Woman Writer of All Time,
just because they selfishly re-
fused to put another mortgage
on the ranch. What did they
care about writing? How could
they understand the crucifix-
ion of her sensitive soul, as
she watched the thwarted
years go limping by?
Why, they didn't even care
enough to let her have a little
peace at home! Acted just as
if she was any ordinary girl,
with no higher goal than get
ting dates with new Boy
Friends. Expected her to
wash dishes. Interrupted her
with the silliest worries.
So that's why Betty Ann
isn't the Worlds Greatest
Writer at forty. And accord
ing to her, it's Everybody
Else's Fault. But, actually
it's only her own!
Nothing and no one on
earth could have prevented
Betty Ann from being a writer
if she had the talent and
could stand the drill. College
educations are almost as rare
among real writer's as green
pearls. And Uninterrupted
Peace Just Isn't.

THERE were several columns OF
Il advertisements OF furnished
apartments for rent in the Sunday
newspaper
Eve and Dick had decided TO rent
a furnished place because Dick was
only temporarily located in Lake
City The main offices of the tom
pany he worked for were in Chi
cago. but Dick had been in Lake
City for more than a year superin-
tending the construction of a the
alter combined with huge office
building.
The theater was to open in March,
but il would be June before every
thing would be completed. Dick
hoped his next job also would be in
Lake City. Eve refused even to con-
slider the possibility that he might
be sent elsewhere.
The first apartment they visited
was impressive. Eve glanced about
the reception room and approved its
furnishings Even when she had
learned how high the rent was she
still wanted TO live there.
But Dick would not listen TO her
argument that she could pay part of
the rent. NO" he said. we're 60

To ANNAPOLIS

ANNAPOLIS, June 10.-With
the closing of the Naval Academy
and st. Johns College for the
summer Annapolis is making It's
annual metamorphosis into a
shopping center for summer col
onists.
While the Academy has not
shut its doors, there are only a
few midshipmen there. The plebe
class is going through its initia-
ton to Navy ways and the upper
classmen are being given training
in flying.
The streets of the ancient city
are frequented by women wearing
their beach pajamas and bathers
still clad in their swimming suits.
This city is the focal point for
colonists and vacationists visiting
the numerous resorts on the
banks of the Severn, South and
North rivers and this part of the
Chesapeake Bay.
