TOR many years, my hobby as

find people who were happy with
their lot

in poor houses; working in slums, in
stock yards, in skyscrapers, in lovely
gardens and in desert shacks of the
West
The sparkle in their eyes, their en-
thusiasm for their tasks, their pride IN
their families, their plans for years to
come - all these were sure signs that
the pursuit of happiness had been
successful.

10 WARN and cheer college
graduates:
James Warner Bellah, success
full novelist, says that when he
was kicked out of college in his
freshman year he got an execu-
tive Job at $50 week and all ex-
penses, in a business he knew
practically nothing about.
Later he went back to college
and graduated. The job he landed
when he finally emerged, di-
ploma in hand, was in an ad-
vertising agency. Salary, SIS a
week. At that point he began to
question the value of a college
education, but now that he has
really made good in life as a
writer, he has decided that it was
worth while. M.

ROBBED OF CASH
Is Taken Home in Semi Con-
scious Condition After
Mystery Attack.

Apparently beaten and robbed,
Francis Gaskell. 81, was carried semi
conscious into his mothers home at
s7o7 Georgia avenue NV. by a cab
driver early today and put to bed
without being able to tell what had
happened to him.
L don't now-dont bother me-"
Mrs. Daisy Gaskell said her son
moaned when she tried to question
him. He appeared dazed from a cash
on his head and apparently was in
jured internally. A physician ordered
that he NOT be disturbed, even by po-
lice
The injured mans automobile. his
billfold containing an unknown
amount of money, his topcoat and hat
were missing, Mrs. Gaskell said.
She said the cab driver who carried
him into her home before dawn today
left-after collecting 80 cents from
her-before she had a chance to ask
him how and where he had found her
son.
He apparently had come to her
home instead of his own home at 1918
Newton street NV. because his wife
worked at night and he knew no one
would be there to help him, Mrs. Gas
kell said.
Mr.. Gaskell is employed in the
stockroom of an automobile company
in the $500 block of Sherman avenue
NV, his mother said, and worked
until 8 o'clock last night. She believed
he had been assaulted on leaving
work, driven to some point in nearby
Virginia or Maryland, robbed and
tossed out of his car. From his num-
blings, she believed he had walked 4
miles and been picked up by the taxi
that brought him home from some
where near washington Airport.
