Pet Superstitions of
Famous Auto Wizards"

If your friends poke fun at the rab-
bits foot you carry. and your dislike
for broken mirrors and black cats,
do not feel abashed. Your pet SUPER
stitions are as nothing compared
with those of the men who risk their
lives as drivers in automobile races.
In all the sport world they are the
most superstitious. according to Al
fred Dayton of the New York Sun.
Hardly one of them but has his pet
ritual. or talisman.
Barney Oldfield's cigar is possibly
the best known lucky piece in this
domain, and there are other cases
without number. Johnny Harmon,
for example. always wears black
shirt when driving. Joe Russo
swears by red helmet. Eddie Pullen
hung baby shoes on his front springs:
Pete de Paola fastened them to his
steering wheel. Ora Haley "was
strong for green cars. He never
finished out of the money in one.
Dom Herr, another old-timer, sal
ways went on the track with a wom-
ans stocking tied around his neck"

Payment of Debt
Should Give Joy
No Other Thought Worthy,
Especially in These
Trying Days.

There is an attitude toward the
payment of bills which ii is well for
the person paying them to preserve.
1t is that of thankfulness. Many per-
sons have just the reverse attitude.
They feel depressed when they see
the money going from their own
purse into that Of another. They
center their attention on the reduc-
ton of their funds. 1t depresses
them TO note the hole tina. is made
by the outgoing dollars and cents.
Let us turn from this point of
view the other side of the picture.
The person has the opportunity to
be glad that he. or she. has the funds
with which to pay an Indebtedness.
Surely this Is cause for rejoicing. 1t
may be that the bill is of long stand
ing and haunted the person owing t
with the fear that it may be still
longer before funds will be present
to settle the account. And then the
chance comes to pay the bill!
The burden Of sleepless nights
and restless daytime thoughts Is
stilled. The bill is paid. What If
the money is gone? 1t is a matter
for praise that one had it and could
do the long wished for thing, settle
in full. The value was received pre-
vlously. The thing for which the bill
was made has been of service or
enjoyment.
Not 10 be able to pay. was the one
disturbing feature. Now that is off
the mind. The problem is solved.
The burden is lifted. The money Is
paid. There would seem to be an
overpowering balance in favor of be-
ing glad. 1t may have taxed the pres
ent funds to pay the bill, and a GER
tain curtailment of living costs may
necessarily result for period. Even
so. the bill is paid. This phase should
ring in ones ears, for it is something
worth while that has been accom-
plished.
Besides the personal feeling of
gladness for the release of burden,
other features there are which are
beneficial. The money paid has in
creased the prosperity of the recipi-
ent. The person paid can now have
the chance to reimburse someone to
whom he, or she, Is indebted. The
money is not only put in circulation,
but in proper circulation. A virtu-
Gus circle results from the payment
Of bills for value received, in con-
trast to the vicious circle which
comes from bills unpaid. There
seems to be everything In favor of
having the feeling of gladness up
permost when a bill is paid.

How to rid any boy or girl Of sluggishness
or constipation and build big appetite.
The trouble with children who will
not eat is usual stasis. The symp-
toms are tongue that's always
coated, bad breath, poor color, dull
eyes that are often a bilious yellow.
No appetite, no ambition-even for
play. Hard to get to sleep, hard to
wake in the morning.
There's an absolute remedy for
this condition. 1t gives listless
youngsters the appetite and ener-
gies of a young animal! They eat!
They gain! They keep well!
It's not the stomach, but the
bowel condition that keeps children
from eating. But the trouble Is in
the lower bowel-the colon. Cali
fornia syrup of figs is the only
medicine" that is needed to stimu-
late the colon muscles. The very
next day, your child is eating bet
ter and feeling better. Keep on with
the syrup Of figs few days and
you will see amazing Improvement
in appetite, color, weight and spirits.

Why Children Need
a Liquid Laxative

The temporary relief children get
from some synthetic, habit-forming
cathartic may cause bowel strain,
and even set-up irritation in the
kidneys. A properly prepared liquid
laxative brings perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to give the child ga double
dose" day or two later.
Can constipation be corrected in
children2 "Yesp' say medical men.
"YesP say many mothers who have
followed this sensible medical advice:
l. Select a good liquid laxative. 2.
Give the dose you find suited to the
system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose
until the bowels are moving regularly

that is widely used for children) is
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The
mild laxative action of this excellent
preparation is the best form of help
for children-and grown-ups, too.

VERA FLETCHER"
This was the letter which Mr.. Thorne
had held for Rankin. He had half
OWNED the identity of the woman
claiming it, from the postmaster's
statement to her that 1t was mailed
from Gladwyne; that was one reason
he did not attempt to detain her pre-
cipitous flight. For Gladwyne was the
home Of the lawyer who was being
indicted into Mu Beta Sigma as an
honorary member on the night of Jor-
dams murder. He had settled there
with his bride after his marriage five
years before. All that Rankin could
recall about them was that Mrs.
Fletcher was twenty years his Junior

just encountered-and lacked any So

- "Oh. well enough" replied
Sonia, without enthusiasm.
1t was evening, but the snowy path
through the woods was easy to follow.

with a crisp crunching.

"Noise, people dancing /.
I've liked it all as well as you. Sonia.
But lately I've wanted something more.

Sonia walked with a light, quick
grace She wore a white sports suit
topped by red cap and tassel. She
was very quiet-Sonia the sparkling,
the much-sought-after the most popu-

Sonia said maybe there would. Her
tone was listless. She had too gra-
cious nature to be disagreeable, but
Joel felt hurt at her unresponsiveness.
He moved away, and they went on.
A rabbit darted across their path. An
owl deep in the woods gave faint,

mine confidence in public officials" "
The announced purpose of the Minute
Men is clean government"
Kegley yesterday demanded of the
city attorneys Office a complaint and
warrant for the district attorney, which
were refused. He said today he would
seek other means of bringing Fits to
answer.
