There is amusement for even our
reckless man, the gambler. He gets
the returns direct from the track

In Paris an American building is
being constructed on the plans sent
there by the radio.
A few weeks ago we Americans
heard the former King Edward
VIII make his farewell speech to
his people.
So you see that everyone can find
amusement from the radio. Those

The American Radio

The American Radio is really a
wonderful invention for the better
ment of the American people. 1t
provides amusement for every type
Of person in the United States.
On a rainy Saturday night the
farmer can sit back in his Norris
chair with his corncob pipe and
enjoy the national barn dance. How
he loves to pat his feet to that
rhythm. His opposite, the man
about town, can have just as much
fun, but not like that. He will no
doubt invite his friends over to dine
and dance. He may not be able to
hire a good orchestra for their
dancing but just the same he and
his friends dance to the music of
the best orchestras in the country.
Refined old grandma just loves
to listen to the opera on Saturday
afternoon, that is, If her young
grandson doesn't have the radio
blaring the latest jazz, or the Penn
Cornell football game.
On Sunday nights the whole fam
lily enjoys Eddie Cantor or Phil
Harris. On week nights around
five o'clock all Of the little children
love to listen to Little Orphan An
ME or the Singing Lady. Ardent
news fans occupy the chair beside
the radio several times each day.

Cheerful Cooperation

1t seems as though some boys
and girls do not know what cheer
full cooperation means or even if
they do, they certainly do not ap-
ply it in some cases. To cooperate
cheerfully you must be nice to
everyone. Do not be selfish or un-
kind, this only makes you have less
friends throughout life. After all,
who wants to be with someone that
is unkind and selfish? This kind
Of person only makes himself and
everyone else around him miser-
able. But it would be queer
world if everyone were alike. At
ter all, there is something nice
about everybody, even though it
takes us quite awhile to see it, in
some people.
There are some people who are
always wondering why they do
not have as many friends as some
other person. Perhaps if they
would stop to think. they would
learn the reason for their not hav-
ing very many friends. We all
know or at least we should know,
that unless we cooperate cheerfully
with othr peope we cannot be as
happy as we would otherwise.
Cheerful cooperation helps all Of
US to have more frien0s and a
much happier life.

result of a certain action. Their
life can never be anything but dull,
unhappy, and miserable.
But even the ones who do have
this creative faculty are unfortun-
ate in the respect that they are not
the master of this power. Imagin-
alton knows no limits, and if allow
ed to run unchecked in the mind
can cause a condition of great dis
turbance, and anxiety of thoughts.
Howevre, it is very difficult task
to control the imagination; its
benefits are slight, and after all,
very few people are happy who
have been able to control their
thoughts. Thought, unlike speech,
is not bound and restricted by con-
ventions, customs, and opinions,
and therefore should not be put un-
der any rigid control.
