skeptics to theAeontrary. the .ys-
TEN works at night as well as in
the daytime.
Those who depend on sunshine
exclusively for heating water get
along comfortably as long as nine
months a year without spending
a cent. although succession of
cool, cloudy days occasionally
may cause postponement of wash
day or of ones hot bath.
Many hoaseholders, who want
steaming stream from the faucet
at all times. have gas or electric
heaters or furnace coils working
in conjunction with sunshine. On
sunny DAYS the sun does the work,
and on cloudy one5 artificial heat
take its place.
Research Done On II
An exhaustive study of solar
heating systems has been made
by F. A. Brooks, associate agri-
cultural engineer at the Univer-
sity of California experiment sta.
ton here.
Tracing the solar heater back
to the days when a farmer mere.
ly dashed an iron tank on his roof,
Professor Brooks has analysed
various methods of getting the
most heat out of the SUMS rays.
AS the most practical heater, he
selects zigzag arrangement of
iron pipe enclosed in a flat, in
sulated box with a glass cover and
placed on a slanting roof. This is
called an "absorber."
BY a process known as thermo-
siphoning, the heated water flows
from the exposed pipes to stor-
age tank which ordinarily is
placed in the attic. Cold water
replaces it and is in turn heated
and stored. The tank is well in
sulated, so it supplies hot water
through the night until the sun
gets to work the next day.
Automatic System Devised
AZ development by the Cali
fornia engineer is a tandem
solar-eleetrie heater which is en-
tirely automatic, the electricity
going on whenever the suns rays
are too weak to maintain the hot
water supply.
with such combination" he
says, ''the housewife will never
be bothered by lukewarm water,
yet viii save heating expense
when the sun shines"
Any handyman can build his
own solar heater, or one may be
purchased ready-made. Profess
sor Brooks warns. however, that
beyond sending a booklet of in
structions he cannot enter into
correspondence with builders re-
garding their problems.
One solar heater is at the ST.

the hottest region on earth.

This process of seeing the men,
tai picture is very swift and is so
familiar to most people that they
do not recognize it, Just as hey
do not notice their own breathing.
Some see these pictures very
plainly. others see them vaguely,
but everyone holds a mental pic
ture of what ne is going to do,
before ne does it,
Now let Us see how we would
apply this, in turning away from
failure toward success. One who
is convinced that he is a failure
and who wants to apply this law
of using positive pictures will first
do well to study his own mental
images for a few days. He should
stand off at one side and watch
his mind work / feel sure he will
find that the mind has been look
ing at many pictures of failure. A
little honest self-study will show
him that this is true.
In turning away from failure
toward success. here is the rule
to follow: BE SURE TO SEE
YOURSELF AS SURE TO sue
CEED.
1t is a good plan to cut out that
rule and paste it over your mir
ror, or in some other spot where
you will see 1t often. To change

failure into success, the first step
is to get into the habit of seeing
yourself doing what you want to
do and doing it with the attitude
of one who is sure Of succeeding.
You must get that kind of a pic
ture into the mind, a picture
which is so packed full of con-
fidence and enthusiasm that you
are positive you are bound to win.
Take this rule of seeing your
self as sure to succeed and apply
it in everything that you do. Sup
pose you are running up flight
of stairs, then see yourself as
sure to get to the top. Or, let us
suppose you are cleaning out the
sink, then form that perfect pic
ture of yourself doing a perfect
job of sink cleaning.
Keep making these mental pic
lures Of yourself as being sure of
succeeding and then keep those
pictures right in the front part of
your mind where you are aware
of them all of the time.
First you must build up the
right kind of picture as applied
to the small things of life. You
can not expect to start with the
big job-you must start right
where you are now, with the little
job that lies close at hand.
Take that sta tement SEE
YOURSELF AS SURE TO Sue
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-16

'NOU do most of your thinking
in pictures in words.
Moreover. strong mental pictures
arc followed by the same actions
you saw yourself doing, when
you were visualizing those pic
lures.
Those who understand this i'm
portant law Of using pictures to
suggest the actions desired, have
found one of the greatest of all
laws controlling human behavior
and may apply it in practical
way with much benefit. It is
called the law of the positive
image.
In using this law in practical
way, you build up a positive pic
ture in which you see yourself
doing that thing which you want
to do.
Let me give you an example of
the way you might use the law of
the positive image in everyday
life. Let us imagine you want to
let the dog out Of the front door.
What takes place in your mind is
that you see yourself walking up
TO the door, opening it, letting the
dog out and closing it. First you
hold the image or picture and this
causes you to make the right
physical movements to act out
that picture, exactly as you visu-
allied it.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-16

CEED and build it into your daily
life. Use it many times each hour
and every hour of the working
day. Keep on using it and watch
the momentum which it will
create. Finally you will have ere
ated such a momentum of success
that it will push you forward into
the big success of which you have
dreamed. Furthermore, when that
big success comes, you will face
it confidently, for you will have
formed the habit of seeing your
self as being sure to succeed.
Take that rule and apply it and
watch it work for you.

Sometimes Man Forfeits Love For Woman's
Career But Not Always!

- REGORY LORD, the painter
" is known all the world over
for his portraits of beautiful wo-
men and gallant men. But in
Washington where he usually
tolls and spins, his art is by no
means his sole claim to eminence.
For in the national capital, in the
cool and lofty spaciuusness of his
studio, he occasionally gives a
party. And these parties of Lordys
which, like their host, are gener-
ally a little mad, have long been
the rage.
Imagine his feelings, therefore,
when, during the course of one
particularly bright and hilarious
evening, he happened to glance
across the crowded studio and
saw young stephen Trevor with a
mighty frown between his brows.
1t was the steadiness of the frown
that especially nettled Lordy as
he made his way clumsily around
the group of dancers. Conse-
quently, the slap on the back with
which he greeted the young man
was not altogether friendly.
"Lordy," complained the young
man bitterly, IF I had hands as
heavy as yours I'd keep them in
my pockets"
Steve" said Lordy, slapping
him again, SIS there anything
wrong?
Wrong" repeated the young
man. Certainly not. Why should
there be-"
"A few moments ago." said
Lordy very gently, you looked
as though you were about to be
stricken with g serious Illness"
Well" said the young man, lis
that very surprising?"
Lordys head bent forward.
And why" he asked omin-
ously, why should you wish to be
stricken at one Of my parties?"
The young man made a COM
prehensive gesture that included
the whole studio generally.
"All that-bunk," he explained.
Lordy's beard quivered indig-
nantly.
The trouble with you very
earnest young career men in the
State Department" he began.
And listen" said the young
career man from the State De-
partment.
The radio was grooming soul
fully:
Darling, Pm lonesome
Since you toent aiooy;
There's no one to loue me
In just the same tody -.
We'll" said Lordy grimly.
Terrible" said the young man.
"Slush! All this romantic bus
mess. A waste of time"
The young man drew in his
breath.
Il think I'll be going" he said.
But Lordy's huge bulk sud-
denly barred the way.
NO" he said quickly. I've
just had an idea. There'n be a
girl along here in a moment or
two 1 want you to meet!
But"
Now listen" said Lordy. This
girl may be young and she may
be pretty-but she's different.
She's got very serious mind,
Steve, just like your own"
HIM" said Stephen doubt
tully.
The fact is" continued Lordy,
she's an architect. And that's all
she thinks about-her career. She
never looks at man twice"
Stephen was interested in spite
If himself.
And her name?" he enquired.
Crawford. said Lordy. "Daph-
ne Crawford"
BE careful, Lordy," said a
voice behind them. I've arrived" 3"
Lordy spun round.
THE girl herself" he began.
The girl bubbled over with
laughter.
My dear" said Lordy gravely,
I've just discovered your SOUL
mate"
Miss Crawford's eyes widened a
little
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-16

The doctor sank into his own
chair.
"The facts of the matter" he
said, "are these. In case of this
kind-or in any sort of case, for
that matter-the doctor or the
surgeon does what he can, and
then has to sit back and wait for
the patient to do his share. A CO.
operative arrangement, you un-
derstand. Well, that's the trouble
mere. I've done what | canal
most all / can do, in fact. But
that young woman's making not
the slightest effort to back me up.
I tell you frankly, it's my firm
belief that she doesn't care
whether she gets well or not"
But that's absurd" said Lordy
quickly. Why, she has every
thing to live for. Her careers just
beginning to widen out and"
The doctor turned suddenly to
a small pile of papers on his desk.
Something l want to ask you,"
he said curtly. He drew out a
slip of paper, glanced at it, and
turned to Lordy again. Who's
this Steve she keeps talking
about ?"
'Steve?" said Lordy "Steve?"
Then he remembered. "Oh yes.
Why-a friend of hers. They
The doctor seemed disappointed.
Friend ?" he repeated.
That's all, said Lordy.
The doctor was thoughtful for
a moment.
Better send for him." said the
doctor. It's a chance. anyhow.
Although"
But he's in London" said
Lordy
"Oh, said DR.. Forsyth YEARLY
There came a knock ON the
door and a nurse entered.
"a Mr.. Trevor to see you, doc
tor. He"
"Oh, tell him"
Steve" said Lordy. That's his
name-Trevor."
DR. Forsyth swung around
again
Send hlm in at once" he di-
rected
Stephen hurried into the room.
He nodded briefly to Lordy.
Hello. Lordy.' His voice
sounded strangely tired and ex-
pressionless. And his eyes
He turned at once to DR. Forsyth.
How is she, DOCTOR"
There was the merest hint of a
smile lowering around the doc
tors lips
Pretty bad" he SAID frankly.
The young man WINGED a little.
Can | see herr"
The doctor seemed to consider
for a moment.
You want to see her" he said
Why"
well" said Stephen.
You love herr"
Stephen nodded
Want to marry herr"
DO l want to?" demanded Ste
phen. why doctor. /"
DR.. Forsyth turned and pressed
a button on his desk
I'm going to let you see her, "
he said, ION one condition"
The door opened and the nurse
appeared again. The doctor turned
his head.
Just one moment" he said.
1.-The condition ?" asked Ste
phen.
That you tell her exactly what
you've just been telling me-" said
the doctor.
Stephen hesitated.
But"
IF you tell her that" continued
the doctor, She'll be out of here
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-16

"I'll take it. That is, of course
if you think it's the best thing
to do"
Daphne nodded at once.
"An things considered" she
said definitely, II do"
"Then that" said Stephen
cody, more or less settles mat
ters."
70 STEPHEN went to London.
= while Daphne remained in
Washington.
And in the twelve months that
followed, only two communica-
tons passed between them. The
first, which crossed the Atlantic
about midway through the year,
was a cable travelling west.

And Daphne's reply, although
it was in the less expensive form
of letter, was equally econom-
ical in it's careful choice of words.
There followed another long
period of unbroken silence during
the next five or six months. Then
the newspapers suddenly appeared
with a further item of news con-
cerning Daphne.

more than a week later that
DR.. Henry Forsyth was pacing

phen held her very close, bent his
head forward a little-and kissed
her.
EXACTLY one minute later,
Daphne was sitting on the
settee again, while Stephen was
on his knees before her. gathering
up the cigarettes.
We'll" he said as he got to his
feet-and his gaiety seemed just
a little forced II suppose we
might as well try these cigarettes
after all"
He held them out TO her, and
her fingers, as she took one, were
not quite steady. For little while
they smoked in silence. Then:
THAT kiss" said Daphne slowly,

afraid"
Stephen nodded.
I'm afraid it has," he admit
ted. I'm sorry
Let me be quite honest" said
Daphne. Il may not have asked
you to kiss me in so many words.
But l wanted you to and-and l
was very glad you did-at the
time. But now .

said shortly, there's only one
reasonable thing we can door,

Daphne looked up at him.

probably die"
Stephen hesitated no longer.
AS the door closed DR.. Forsyth
looked across at Lordy anc
grinned. And you said he was
friend!" he chuckled.
THE NURSE closed the door
very quietly.
For a time Stephen stood star
ing down at Daphne's dark head
lying amid the snowy whiteness
of the pillow. Then, his eyes still
on her face, he shifted chair
and sat down. AS ne did so, the
chair creaked family and Daphne
opened her eyes.
"Steve :" The voice seemed
very far away.
He grinned little self-con-
sciously.
Daphne" he said
She was frowning.
II told them not to send for
you, she whispered.
But they didn't" Stephen
whispered back. Il read about it
in the papers and-and so
came"
She was smiling again.
That was kind of you . ="
"No-not kind. Selfish. | had

about you, Dahpne."
But why?" she whispered. Il

Stephen took deep breath.
MY dear" he said simply. II
love you"
She stared up at him for mo-
ment, a little wide-eyed-a little
incredulous. Then she smiled
again.
But"
"Oh, I've been such a fool.
Daphne. I've always loved you--
right from that first night at
Lordy's. Only l didn't realize it
until-when 1 kissed you. And
then"
But you went away" she whis-
pered.
Only because you wanted me
to. Your work you remem-
Der? And | knew it was no good
my waiting-or anything"
Because | wanted you to go?"
she repeated But Il thought
you wanted to go yourself"
Just for a moment, Stephen
seemed not to understand. But
then his face suddenly lit up.
oh, my DEAR" he said breath
lessly, you mean"
Daphne closed her eyes.
I've always loved you too,'
she whispered, And l didn't
realize it either-until that night
you Kissed me.
That night" she went on.
Weren't we silly, Steve? Try
ing to run away from things, l
mean. So calmly-and so coldly.
Just as if we could :"
But your work ?" said Stephen.
"Oh, I've been a fool, too,' she
said slowly. I've had whole
year-the most successful year
I've ever had, Steve. But the lone
liest and the most empty-because
I've had no one to share it with"
Stephen sat forward a little.
And if l asked you to marry
me now?" he began.
Daphne rolled her head around
on the pillow.
I'm waiting" she said softly.
