Consider the Convention-Widow,

And whilst she awaiteth the

she thinketh these things in her

Ho-hum! A convention is but

Does it pay to be good in the
face of such evidence?
That's a fair question and it de-
serves a square answer, which 1t
seldom gets. Usually we're put
off by sweet and soothing aSsur-
anceS that Virtue always tri-
umphs and the Villain is always
foiled in the end. But this simply
isn't true.
I've known countless WEAKNESSES
who died as they had lived, Tapped
in every luxury, surrounded by ad-
miring friends. And I've known
an equal number of saints who
received nothing but dirty deals
to their last breath.
So if you're going to test the
respective profit of vice and Wr-
tue by worldly standards, warn
you honestly. goodness will sell

people, inexperienced in life and

DOES IT PAY TO BE GOOD?

>vice and virtue, and that is not by
its outer returns but by its inner
reactions.
We do not live in our outer
returns, no matter how magnifi
cent they may seem. Fine auto
mobiles, big bankrolls, expensive
clothing and food, de luxe apart
ments and travel trips-allurine
as these may appear, they dc
not and cannot determine our
happiness, our pride and peace
At best they are only scenery
as removed from our real exist
ence and actual selves as the
landscape glimpsed from a Car
window.
We live inside ourselves, not
outside. We live in our inner
emotions, not in our outer pos
sessions. And the real test of
Goodness or Badness, as a prac'
tical life policy, is found in the
heart, not in the bankroll.
AND BY EVERY TEST OF
MIND AND SPIRIT, GOODNESS
PAYS, AND 1T IS THE ONLY
THING THAT DOES PAY.
No bad and ruthless man ever
had peace in his heart and pride
in his mind. and no good and
gentle man ever lacked them.
PEACE OF MIND
Virtue may prove a bad bet on
the Adding Machine, but it's the
biggest bargain in life, judged by
a psychiatriSt's chart.
Millions may buy you every
thing on earth but the one thing
that makes life worth living
for any man, rich or poor. smart
or clever-peace of mind.
Judged by such an audit,
Virtue isn't a drab duty-it is
the shrewdest investment and
loveliest luxury in our human
experience. 1t is a happy and
healthy habit which 10 intelli-
gent person would ignore. Skates

our merchant marine" Europe
was building great ships like the
Normandie and the Queen Mary
and we were doing nothing. We
were being crowded off the seas.
Our boats are beginning to hold
their own nicely, particularly in
the zone of mass" travel. Lower
rates and better accommodations
are having their effect at time
when the country is becoming
travel-minded.
But we have a long way to go
before we can do much Dragging
about it. Britain controls 81 per
cent of the transport space and
carries 81 per cent Of the passen-
gers. We control 8 per cent and
carry II per cent.
The last Congress put through
a ship subsidy bill by which the
Government assumes half the cost
of building new ships, which, Incl.

driven home by the exchange rate.
All Europe is Scrubbing and fur
bishing towns, cities and high
ways like an American housewife
getting ready to entertain the

Germany is having an unprece-
dented orgy Of cleanliness and or
der. Her order to housewives not
to hang their linen in public has
a figurative significance. Euro
pean countries play down their
animosities when foreigners are
looking on, wanting to make a
good showing in the eyes OF the
world.
That ought to be a counterfeit

alism Of postwar Europe. One
who tries to seem like a good

becoming one. An old-tlme bar
