COlOred Man and Es-
tranged Wife Exchange
accusations.

An alleged exchange Of threatening
letters-some of which contained dried
leaves and powders of various hues-
took William Stith, colored, and his
estranged wife, Evelyn, into Police Court
today.
Mrs. Stith was arrested on complaint
of her husband, who charged her with
threatening his life. He declared she
had been sending him "upsetting" let
ters for the last three or four years.
At the request Of Assistant United
States Attorney Roger Robb, Mrs. Stith
wrote several quotations from one of
the letters, and the two handwriting
specimens were compared by Judge John
P. Mcmahon. Although Mrs. Stith had
denied authorship of the letters. the
Judge decided they evidently were IN
the same style penn1anship as the quo
tations she had jotted down in court.
In denying she had written the let
ters, Mrs. Stith presented letter which,
she declared, had been sent to her by
her husband. 1t contained an under
takers advertisement, clipped from a
newspaper.
Judge McMahon continued the case
until November IT after it was brought
out that non-support case against
Stith Is pending In Juvenile Court.

WHEN OPTIMISM IS NOT HELP
fPensacola Joufnall


Suicide has tragic quality all its own,
unlike that which attends any other form
of death.
Relatives and friends are not only left
to mourn departure from life; they are
forced to think that life itself, through
some mischance, had got so unendurably
difficult that the strongest Of all instincts,
the instinct Of self preservation, had been
killed.
Robert E. Farley, former president of
the New York state Rotary Club, was
found hanging from rafter in his home
the other day. And what gave his death
peculiarly tragic quality was the fact
that only three weeks ago he had written,
for the Rotary Club magazine, code for
living.
In it he included these rules:
Don't worry-smile; laugh it off;
serve with sacrifice; do it now and have
peace; relax ease mind, nerves and mus
cles; do not get out Of poise; get next to
God and stay there; think of the things
that make you happy and not of the things
that make you sad"
It was code. He had it printed on
cards and hung them where he could see
them constantly. And somehow, when
things went badly wrong, the code seems
to have been broken reed. There are
philosophers that will carry man through
almost any dependency; this one, appar-
emily, wasn't of that kind.
And one is moved to wonder if the
code did not, perhaps, share little too
greatly In a very common American fault
the habit of persistently looking only
on the bright side of things.
Such admonitions as laugh it off, and
think Of the things that make you happy"
are very fine when all ones troubles are
minor ones. But most of us aren't lucky
enough to have only that kind Of trouble.
Sooner or later we get badly bumped; and
when we do we are apt to go under unless.
we have learned how to look the very worst
in the face without flinching.
We are, or we try to be, nation of
optimists. 1t has made US likeable and
friendly people But it has also left us
vulnerable to sudden shocks. The best
preparation for trouble is the readiness to
know the worst, to accept it, and to plug
along in spite of it-not laughing it off, but
grimly accepting it and making the best of
it.
