his cringing soul of two things
and he spends his life trying to
escape them
He's afraid of YESTERDAY and
TODAY.
And he spends his life trying
to hide in TOMORROW.
He's afraid of reality and
he constantly seeks a hide-out
in DREAMS.
You know that man. You've
seen him thousands of times.
sometimes old. Sometimes rich
woman. Sometimes he's young
sometimes old. Sometimes rich
sometimes poor. It doesn't matter.
He's always obSeSSed by the same
terror always seeking the
same refuge. Yet chances are
you'd never rate him as a Turn
tail.
ADMIRE HIS SPIRIT
To the contrary, you'll admire
his daring spirit, his buoyant
optimism. How bravely he refuses
to be bound by past plumbers or
present griefs! How CALAMITY he
waves aside those miserieS which
blind us weaker mortals, to march
on, head up, to some new adven-
lures!
What healthy Spirit-living in
the future. You envy him. If
only you could be as courageous as
that-brave enough to rise above
your old sadness and humiliation,
laugh at the difficulties Of Today
and meet the challenge Of Tomor-
row triumphantly.
Don't fool yourself. That buoy
ant, boasting lad is neither brave
nor wise. He isn't rising above
anything-he'S just Scooting for
cover. Those memories and reali-
ties which he seems to toss so
CALAMITY aside are actually the
abiding terror of his life. He
doesn't dare remember Yesterday
he hasn't spunk enough to face
and tackle Today.
So he leaps ahead into the
dreams of Tomorrow-into those
comforting and convenient dreams
wherein there is neither competi-
ton nor criticism, pressure nor
penalty. And in those dreams he
finds a safe, snug hide-out for his
Sinking soul.
There are many kinds of cow
ards-all yellow. But the man
who hasn't the courage to look
back at his Past or tackle che

on living in the Future" is the
yellowest Of them all.

No one should neglect protection for
themselves and their families. The
newspapers are filled with hundreds
of accounts of sudden tragedies and
misfortunes. Floods, fires, epidemics
and violent storms take a startling
toll of human life and limb. Auto
mobile accidents, particularly, are
growing more frequent every month.
1t is unwise to gamble with fate,
when the next moment may bring
disaster.
The protection afforded you by this
straightforward policy is backed by
the huge resources of the North
American Accident Insurance Com
pany of Chicago, the largest and
oldest exclusive Health and Accident
Insurance Company in America. The
company has paid out over S2l ,000,-
900 in claims-it is under the direct
supervision of As State Insurance
Departments. Men and women who
are interested in this form Of protec-
ton are urged to write a letter or

REVIEW OF LOBBY
DECISION OPPOSED
Senate Committee Objects
to Appeals Court Ac-
ton at This Time.

The Senate Lobby Committee yes
terday sought to prevent an immedi-
ate review by the United States Court
of Appeals of the recent decision by
District Supreme Court Chief Justice
Alfred A. Wheat that he was without
Jurisdiction to enjoin the Senate or
any of its committees.
His ruling was made in the suit by
William Randolph Hearst to prevent
the committee and the Federal Com
munications Commission making use
of messages taken from the files of
the telegraph companies. The judge
dismissed the suit so far as the COM
mittee was concerned, but the litiga-
tion still is pending against the
commission.
Two weeks ago, Hearst asked the
higher court to consider special
appeal solely on the jurisdictional
question.
Yesterday, the committee filed its
objections to this procedure, arguing
that no serious injustice would result
from waiting until final adjudication
in the lower court before an appeal
is taken.
Champion Harris, committee coun-
sci, stressed that no court ever has
enjoined the Senate, and that such an
injunction would bring deluge of
writs which would "overwhelm both
houses of Congress"

LIBEL LAW GIVEN
BROADERVERS|ON
Institute Favors Restate-
ment Affecting Officials
at Closing Session.

Concluding four-day session at
the Mayfiower Hotel, the American
Law Institute yesterday proposed a
restatement of the law of torts. broad
ening the extension of privilege to
publications concerning persons in
public life.
The institutes restatement, pre-
pared by Fowler " Harper, profess
sor of law at the University of Texas,
provides that a defamatory or libel
Gus statement shall be privileged If
the facts are true, or where "the cir
cumstances are such as to induce a
correct or reasonable belief that facts
exist which affect sufficiently i'm
portant public interest"
This was interpreted as meaning
that newspapers could publish de-
famatory matter provided they hon.
estly believe it to be true, and if 1t
concerns a public officer or candidate
for public Office. This differs from
the old rule, effective in most States,
which requires that the facts must
be true.
The reStatement also broadened the
rule as to editorial comment and
criticism by granting privilege to
make defamatory criticism as to a
persons activities, which are Of pub
lie concern, provided it represents
the actual opinion Of the critic and
is not made solely for the purpose
of causing harm to another"
The sessions we're attended by more
than 75o of the most eminent judges,
lawyers and law teachers Of the
country.

Johnny Appleseed
Of Legend Really
Existed, Data ShOiU
Ry the Associated Press.

Ey Inc hSSOCldLcu EItoo.
CHICAGO, May e.-Johnny Apple
seeds followers claimed new evidence
tonight that the barefoot wanderer
really lived.
It was uncovered by the Johnny
Appleseed Memorial Commission Of
Fort Wayne, Ind, which has long
maintained Johnny was John Chap
man, who died there in 1845.
In stories and poetry, Johnny Ap-
pleseed is usually pictured as gentle
eccentric, garbed in coffee sack and
topping of his costume with a stew
pan for a hat. Some historians say
he wore a hat on top the stew pan,
carrying Swedenborgian books in it,
and from these religious tracts offer
ing the settlers new fresh from
heaven"
The errand on which he roamed
the wilderness was to plant his be-
loved apple seeds. At intervals in
recent years, controversies have fiared
up over whether, as his admirers
claim. Johnny Appleseed can be cred
tied with fathering most Of the Mid
western orchards.
The new evidence, said Secretary
Robert c. Harris of the Fort Wayne
Association, is an order, dated Au-
gust l. 1918. asking Martin Mason to
give Glenn Rice SO apple trees, and
Harris believes it was drawn up after
a sale, proving Johnny was not only
a wandering apple missionary. but
also dealer in apple trees.
