MEN OF MAGIC.

T. INDIANS Of olden times liked TO
watch the working Of wonders.
Medicine men were the nagicians.
i Thsy told the people that they had
strange powers; and many persons
believed them.
Among the Chippewa Indians there
were men who could pick up hot stones
and sticks burning all over without
seeming to be hurt.
In North Dakota Indians were in
vited TO lodge to watch fire wonders.
A large bonfire was built and was al
Then Q man, with bare feet, would step
among the hot Goals, pick them up and
throw them around. The people who
watched would dodge the shower and
RIM out Of the place.
Many medicine men knew how to
handle poison snakes without being
seem to swallow, long arrows. More
than one man injured his throat while
forcing down the arrow or drawing 1t
out again.
A Sioux medicine man used to be
called "CherTy-in-the-Mouth. At any
time Of the year he was able to pun
from his mouth what looked like q
fresh. ripe cherry. This man had found
some way to preserve the cherry, per-
hapS by putting 1t in the white
mans "frewater." The rest Of the
tribe did not know how he did it; and
they would watch with wonder when he
pulled cherry from his mouth on q
Winters day.
A favorite trick was to pretend to
bring rain for crops. BY magic words
and prayers. the medicine men said
in this case was to keep up the prayers
until rain came. Days or weeks might
pass; but there was bound to be rain.

NOTICE how eagerly the man scans
the fish arranged on ice in the
fishman's window, mentally tasting
the joy 1t would have been to catch this
or that hnny fellow and bring him
home to be cooked. Remember, too. his
pride in the string Of baby catfish or
sunperch. perhaps no larger than very
small hand, but caught after . days
sunburn on the banks Of some sub
urban lake or brook. and you will
know that the personal selection or the
catching of the fish is all that is need
ed to give man a revenous appetite for
it. Somehow there's romance about fish
night, when father brings home the
fish.
Reminded of how thrilling 1t is to
catch even the littlest catfish, he Is

find all the nesta In the neiehborhood
and plan how to rob them. He system
atically searched through every tree IN
the Old Orchard and all the bushes
along the old stone wall. When no
found q nest he plotted to rob 1t IN
such a way as not to be caught at 1t,
and in many cases he succeeded. Now
diately there was great outcry that
brought all the birds in the neighbor-
hood to drive him away and more than
once sharp bills made him wish he had
been more careful.
He got the eggs Of Welcome Robin
and the latter and Mrs. Robin had to
begin all over again. He spent lot
of time trying to md the nest Of Mrs.
Grouse over In the Green Forest. for he
knew that in that nest he might find
as many as . dosen eggs bigger than
any he would md elsewhere, enough
for two or three meals. But that time
smart for him. although he often saw
for food and tried to follow her back
to the nest.
But never did he forget Creaker and
Mrs. Creaker and every day from .
hiding place he watched the great nest
of Plunger the Osprey until he knew
the habits Of Plunger and Mrs. Plunger.
He was plotting to climb up when one
of them was or fishing, for he had dis
covered that the one sitting on the eggs
couldn't see over the edge Of the nest
because Of its great size and 1t might
be possible for him to climb to 1t un-

the Grackle built, as you know. in the
foundations Of the larger nest, He
would wait until the eggs of the
Creakers had Matched and then when
both were OF in search Of food for the
babies he would climb up there and get
them.

THERE was no doubt that Creaker
the Grackle and Mrs. Creaker
were building a nest IN the
J j I. foundations of the great nest Of
Plunger the Osprey. Chatterer
The Red Squirrel had seen them build
ing there. There was no longer any
doubt about 1t. Among the sticks OF
the lower part Of that great nest they
had found . place just big enough to
contain their own nest and they were
gust finishing it when Chatterer dis
covered it.
Now chatterer had set his heart on
dining on the eggs Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Creaker or. If he didn't get chance
to steal them, on the babies that would
hatch from them. He knew that once
those eggs had Matched those hungry
fast growing babies would demand 50
much food that both parents would
often be obliged to be away at the same
time hunting for 1t. So he had hoped
to flnd that nest IN pine tree as usual.
There would be chance Of slipping in
unseen and getting the dinner he
wanted. Here 1t was another matter
altogether. The truth is Chatterer was
afraid to climb to that nest. He was
afraid Of Plunger and Mrs Plunser.

CODES FOR OUR INDUSTRIES

A very novel step in our indus
trial history has Just been taken, in
the governments request that en-
ployers whose industries have not
yet formulated any code of working
hours and wages, should assent to
such an agreement for the rest of
the year, or until a code for their
trade is agreed upon. To many of
the older people it seems a strange
and radical step to have to come
under such agreements. They have
cherished the traditional independ-
ence of American business, and they
hate to give up any part of it.
But if this plan works as its orig
inators hope, it should lead to the
employment of a great many people
who are now idle. The purchasing
power of the country would be so
enormously increased, that all our
industries might be operating at
normal speed within three months.
Business people who are making
no money, or who perhaps are OPP
Grating at loss, ask how they can
be expected to advance wages, or
cut down their working week so that
the labor cost of their product or
service will be less? Perhaps some
of them can't. But in the main sue
cess in this life comes to people
who show faith and courage, and il
business generally does manifest
that spirit, we are going to see a
superb revival in a very short time.
The improvement already achieved
has exceeded all expectations. The
great number of concerns that have
advanced wages since President
appealed for such action
has already been a splendid demon
stration of this faith.
Probably many of these concerns
are not yet making any money. But
they are willing to make some sac
rifices to cooperate with the gen
eral plan. The country honors them.
and it has faith that this spirit of
united action is soon going to pro-
duce industrial improvement that
will astonish the world.

PRIDE In OUR WORK

One of the characteristics of a
successful community. is the pride
which people feel in the goods pro-
duced in that community. A farm
ing region, for instance. always
takes pride in the fine cattle or veg
etables or other product that it
turns out. A good factory town is
proud of the fine merchandise pro-
duced in its shops. A good retail
center is proud of its fine stores.
How shall that pride be developed?
Principally by deserving it. If the
farmers generally are keen to get
out the best kind of goods in their
line, if the bosses and workpeople
in the shops are anxious to produce
high standard goods, if the workers
in the stores are eager to render the
best service, there is force of home
town pride that will make itself felt,
and such a community's good repu-
tation will spread.
Milford chronicle., 1933-08-04
THE MAIN TENET OF SAFETY

Safety on the highways is princi-
pally an attitude of mind.
Better cars and roads won't at
tain it. Indeed, they tend toward
the opposite result. 1t has long been
the experience that when a stretch
of poor road is converted into a
broad, straight, smooth highway the
number of accidents increase-be-
cause motorists overestimate the
safety factor. They lose the sense
of caution that a poor road natural
ly creates-and the death and injury
rate booms.
The same thing is true of automo-
biles. The manufacturers give us
cars with better brakes, surer steer
ing, more perfectly balanced bod
ies-and we abuse them to the point
where the automobile accident rate
breaks all records.
The safety attitude" isn't par
ticularly difficult one to develop. 1t
is simply to drive as we'd like the
car approaching us to drive. Don't
cut corners, nor pass on curves or
hills, nor drive on the wrong side of
the road, nor fight for the right-of-
way, nor drive so fast you cannot
stop in the assured clear distance
ahead. Almost every accident,
minor or severe. occurs because
someone violates these simple rules.
Possibly a better phrase for safe
driving would be courteous driv-
ing. Discourtesy on the highway
is always the friend of accidents.
If you'll make up your mind to drive
the way you think the other fellow
should drive, the accident rate will
be due for a severe beating in the
future. O."

LIVING BY PHILOSOPHY

Not many people make life inter-
esting by philosophy now. 1t is
considered easier to buy your fun.
So people pay theatres, dance halls.
the sporting clubs, ETC., to provide
diversions for them.
In simpler times, people used to
find enjoyments without paying for
them, which can be called living by
philosophy. They sat on the porch
es on summer evenings instead of
burning up the roads, and they
found pleasure in observing the
ways of nature and her creatures:
Or they hied themselves to the cor
ner grocery where they exchanged
nuggets of wisdom with their neigh
bors. They lived a contempiative
life, coversing, reading, and observ-
ing. They were just as happy as
we are.
Modern life will not revert to that
idea, but it should not wholly for
get how to live by philosophy. 1t
helps out when the pay envelope
falls short.

THE INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY
DRIVE

The government is starting a
drive for industrial recovery, which
in its methods and spirit is much
like the drives for public co-opera-
tiOn carried on through the World
War. If the country can recover
that World War spirit, that enthus-
iasm and high endeavor and devo-
tion to the common good, there is
nothing too big for it to accomplish.
President Roosevelt has sounded a
bugle call for the war against un-
employment, and it is up to us all
to help to the limit of our abilities.
When it was proposed during the
World War to raise the enormous
amounts needed for war loans, many
financial wise men shook their
heads. They were sure it couldn't
be done. But it was done, and
great deal more was raised than
most people believed possible.
1t is hoped now to bring out the
same spirit of enthusiasm and to
carry the movement on to success
by many of the same methods. 1t is
believed that in this spirit a large
part of the people now idle can be
put to work in a short time. The
millions recently unemployed who
already have been given work are a
suggestion that the thing can be
done.
If the shorter working weeks to
be provided in many industries in
crease labor costs too much, en-
ployers will feel they can not go on
with the plan.> 1t is-up to every en-
ploye in any industry under the
proposed codes, to work with ener-
gy and enthusiasm, so as to help
employers get out the product at
such a price that there will be at
least no losses in the process. And
all should reflect that business is
not solid and strong until it returns
at least a reasonable return to its
owners.
With a long strong pull by the
whole nation, we can get what is
left of this depression under ground
within a short time.
1t is up to the working people, as
we'll as the employers, to make the
plan work successfully.
