Her questions baffle me!
And it's been going on since-well,

She asked; why can't see God %

She turned her gaze aloft;
Then-"Why can't we fly high--like
birds ~
And-"Are clouds hard-or soft?"
I've answered why's, and where's.

And tried hard to be truthful;
But it's so difficult sometimes.
When waiting ears are youthful.
And now she's raised her trusting

And pauses in her play:

may bring financial failure and obscur-
ity 1t doesn't matter. You'll be Just as
important one way as the other pro-
vided only that you do not lose your
capacity to lioe.
A famous novelist who has run the
gamut from breadline to hundreds of
thousands year and back again to a
bare living says that he got most out of
life when his income was very small
and the circle of his intimates ex-
tremely limited. 1t was then that he
lived most keenly, wildly and with
least outside conflict to disturb his
inner life. 1t was then that he was, in
his own opinion, most important as a
human being.
To possess this genuine importance
you have only to recognize and enjoy
it. The only way you can lose it is to
try to get to some unimportant place
too quickly, like the dead man on West
Fortieth Street, and lose your ability
tolive while your attention is distracted
from your present surroundings.
A convict whom | interviewed in a
Texas penitentiary said that his worst
punishment was becoming a number
instead of human being. When that
happened he felt that he had lost all
his importance. He was definitely
planning suicide. gave him new
point of view. l showed him that his
importance was not dependent upon
what other people thought about him.
| reminded him of the man known to
millions Of story readers as o. Henry,
who first discovered his remarkable
capacity for living - and writing -
after prison gates had shut him from
the esteem of his former associates.
talked with the same prisoner month
later. He had begun to live again, was
taking a correspondence course in mine
engineering. The newimportance which
he had begun to feel was real; no
amount of social snubbing could take
it away from him.
Too much material success, wealth
or public life involves serious sacri-
flee of the successful PERSONS intrinsic
Importance. The more life you can ex-
tract from a limited environment, the
more important you ewithin yourself.

LOWELL THOMAS is many men
in one, "a kind of grown-up
quintuplets.
Five evenings a week he is a
radio commentator.
Once week he sits up all night
to make a news reel.
He has flown around the world
in an aeroplane - one of the FIRST
few men to do it - and toured
India with the Duke of Windsor
when he was Prince of Wales.
He attends all important con-
ventions and lectures in various
cities.
He writes at least one book a
year.
Lowell Thomas has been in,
and written about, the farthest
corners of the earth; yet he has
happy domestic life and an al
most passionate devotion to his
home. He never loses an oppor-
tunity to tell the world that he
thinks Dutchess County, New
York, where he lives, is the most
beautiful spot on earth. This
summer he moved the old church
which he attends to the crest of
Quaker Hill, from which its grace
full spire can be seen far down

was lying on his back in West
Fortieth Street, near the curb.
An overcoat had been flung
hastily over him - all you could
see was pair of nicely blacked
shoes and neat, gray sox, sticking out
from beneath the improvised covering
of death. The shoes and sox were
pathetic, they showed so much care
and thoughtfulness about appearance.
And who cared about that now? A
couple of cops stood guarding the body,
waiting for an ambulance, Goking and
laughing). Crowds streamed by on the
sidewalk, cars in the street. Nobody
paid any attention to the dead man.
"The guy was trying to get some
where too quick" one of the policemen
explained to me. wasn't the drivers
fault. l seen him dodge in front of the
bus and | made grab forhim. Darn near
got killed myself trying to save him."
| didn't doubt it. What struck me
was the relative Importance of the
traffic victim before and after that
mysterious spark called life had been
snufed out. Alive, an officer had risked
his life to save this stranger. Dead, this
same cop chatted indiferently with a
friend, too bored to cast glance at the
body. The thing that mattered had
gone. The humanness, the thoughts
and feelings, the ability to move and
talk. Life was gone and with it the
mans importance to his fellow humans.
He never had been headliner, this
man who was now dead. Perhaps no
more than half dozen persons in the
world had been concerned individually
with his affairs. Yet while he lived he
had been important to everybody.
Nine persons out of every ten would
have taken chances to pull him out of
danger, the tenth would have wished
afterwards that he had done so. He
had been important and now his i'm
portance was gone forever.
1t is we'll to realize that your real
Importance is in the present, not the
future. Your real Importance does not
consist of possessions, authority over
others, headlines in the newspapers,
listings in "Who's Who" The future

RECENTLY a book thief who
had robbed university libraries
and the shelves of public Libraries
was discovered in Philadelphia
with a quarter of a million dollars
worth of his loot. This racket,
which is the terror of book COL
lectors and book lovers all over
the world, has been steadily in
creasing during the past twenty
five years, but it is an old game.
When G. K. Chesterton was a.
young man he was an artist be-
fore he became a writer. His
father asked G. K. to design a
bookplate for him. Once G. K.
reproduced it for me, as shown
above.
ScIENcE is always finding out
something new about the mental
and physical effects of color.
The most recent place to be af-
fected by new color discoveries
is the operating room. Doctors
have learned that the glare of a
white operating room and the
brilliant lights blur the sight of
the surgeon. Therefore several of
the operating rooms in the Doc
tors Hospital, in New York, are
finished in color. One is in soft
shades of green - walls, floor,
ceiling, towels.
Twenty-Five years or more ago
the British army learned some
thing else about the effect of
color on human beings. They
found that on long marches regi-
ments in red uniforms became
fatigued more quickly than those
in grey or green. A line of brightly
uniformed men tired the eyes of
those walking behind. That is one
reason why olive drab has be-
come the color for fighting armies
all over the world.
FANNIE Hurst, who has more
under her hat than most people,
startled the Democratic Conven-
tion last summer by appearing in
a glass hat. This winter she has
the headgear of a nun "a broad
white band across her forehead
and white bands down the side of
her face.

Welfare Council
Is Organized
at Richland

Paul Engretson, district welfare
organizer, has helped start a well
fare council in Richland, and a fine
program of work has been lined up.
The committee in charge of this
work is headed by Mrs. r. r. Mc1n-
tosh as chairman, the other men,
bers being Mrs. Meredith, Mrs. Mel
son, Mrs. Sloan, Mrs. Erickson, Mrs.
RIea and VIM. RAIDER. Two special
programs are being worked on at
this time and it is hoped others
may be available later.
A canning project is to be started
by the welfare council, to be in
charge of two specially trained wo-
men of the community, and equip
ment consists of three pressure
cookers, of $50 quart capacity, in
which either tin cans or glass jars
may be used. This is a W.P.A. pro-
feet, and the W.P.A. are to train
and take care of the salaries.
This canning equipment is avail
able for all in the community, but
appointments must be made.

Business Women
Honor Senior
Girls at Tea

The Business & Professional Wo-
men were hostesses at a tea honor
ing the Senior girls Sunday after
noon, May %, at the home of Mrs.
l.. II. Raymond. The decorations
on the tea table featured the class
colors, red roses and white lilies-of-
the-valley. Mrs. E. S. Mcdonald and
Mrs. Julia Hemenway poured.
The program consisted of the fol-
lowing: piano solo by Dorothy ALI
son; trumpet tsolo by Ruth Bein-
hard, accompanied by Irma Wag-
goner; two vocal solos by Mrs. Har-
ry Love, accompanied by Mrs. Nc
Donald; a song by the Business
Girls trio, composed Of Verdella
Mueller, Lois and Olive Brue. To
top it off, a most realistic travel
talk was given by Mrs. w. w.
Strong of Seattle, who is visiting
her sister, Mrs. Hemenway. Mrs.
Strong told of her trip to London
last summer when the then-King
Edward was at the height of his
popularity. Her descriptions of the
Royal Family whom she saw on
several occasions, of Windsor Park
and Windsor Castle, Westminster
Abbey and various other places Of
universal interest, created a very at
tentive audience. Her talk was
greatly enjoyed by everyone present.
On Monday evening the Business
Girls held their annual picnic at
the city park. This closes the years
business and no more meetings will
be held until fall.
