courtesy.

iS really at the heart OF the seeming dis
courtesy.
So there is the common mix-up be-
tween good and bad, which is found in
20 many activities and phases of life
and living.
Few things are wholly good, few en-
tirely bad; We all know this, but in COM
mon practice tend to forget it whenever
1t pleases us.
Let us never forget, however, that the
earnest young man who passes in such a
hurry. without looking to left or right, is
not sighting us in the least, but only
being tremendously busy.
Many workers today have swallowed
hook, line and sinker the idea that they
must make a good impression; part Of
this impression, they feel, comes from
looking busy.
Hence they walk briskly, when there is
no need for it.; they rush hither and yon,
when they might better have remained
at their desk; they shout orders, when
mild voice would have been heard
equally well, and sometimes they use a
quarrelsome tone when at heart they
are as meek as the old-fashioned child
A variant is the soft-hearted fellow
who fears his own soft-heartedness.
Commonly he assumes the gruff voice
in order to impress others with his se-
verify.
Often he gives all away by twinkle
in his eye which he cannot control.

Another factor to be reckoned with is
what might be called the middle -aged
freeze-up.
1t occurs at 40 years, or shortly before
or thereafter.
1t means that the pleasant illusions
OF youth are vanishing.
1t means that the individual has
found out at last that there is no Santa
Claus.
Instead Of rejoicing honestly at his
find, as little local girl did this Christ
mas, he begins to resent his wisdom.
He is ashamed of it and slightly afraid
Of it at the same time, and wonders II
others will note his sad discovery.
Instead of believing that they are
quite as capable OF self-discovery as
himself, he thinks that the only way to
prevent them from finding out his secret
is not to talk to them.
Hence We find everywhere the freezing
process which attacks the minds and
hearts of men long before there is any
physical decay whatsoever.
X
Can a man. by taking thought, over
come these natural processes?
One may believe that he can, If he
would, but that is where the difficulty
comes in.
1t is one thing to understand propo-
sition. and quite another to put it into
operation.
Many people understand very we'll
the sly and shrewd ways by which others
make profit out of other humans, but
that they could apply such ways in their
own dealings is utterly beyond them,
call 1t pride or whatever one chooses.
What they can do. however, is to apply
common sense to all situations, includ-
ing that of the hasty fellow who seems
to be sighting one, but who really re-
quires all his energies for the Job in
hand, and therefore actually hasn't
enough left even to say "how -dee-doo" as
he goes by.

Peace in Utilities.

The public utility picture underwent
significant change yesterday as the su-
preme Court ruled on two points of
law, which. for lack of clariflcation in
the past, had contributed materially to
friction between utility leaders and the
Administration.
First, the justices held in two deci-
sions that private power companies have
no legal standing to question the validity
Of loans and grants by the Public Works
Administration for construction of mu-
nicipally owned power plants. Litiga-
ton involving this question had been
pending In the courts for more than
three years. During that time dozens
Of suits have been filed throughout the
country for injunctions that have pre-
vented and delayed the completion Of
numerous power projects. The operators
Of the private power concerns had the
absolute right to avail themselves of any
legal remedies they thought they had,
but that does not alter the fact that
Illustration OF this important phase OF
the New Deal program for over three
years had much to do with the mutual
dislike that developed during the period
between the utilities men and the Admin
istration leaders.
The other ruling Of the court has
been interpreted as lending q measure
Of approval to the prudent investment"
theory Of valuing utilities for rate-making
purposes, advocated by President Roose-
velt. A majority Of the utilities leaders
have contended that the cost Of repro
duction should be the determining fac
tor in valuations for the purpose Of fix
ing rates. The decision by no means dis
earded this theory, but 1t did lend real

who look upon government and the

SURPRISING ODDS
ON Armstrong.
TO BEAT GARCIA.
BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Nov. % d.N.S0.
For a fighter who was hurt twice
on recent occasions, Henry Arm
strong today was set up as a sur
prisingly robust favorite in de-
tense Of his welterweight cham
pionship against Ceferino Garcia,
the hard-hitting, rugged and, as
far as anybody around here knows,
perfectly healthy Filipino.
The odds, as currently estab-
lished on the fraca Friday night,
were quoted as 8 to 5 on Arm
strong to emerge from the ring
under his own power. in one piece
and still clinging to the champion.
ship by virtue of a decision vic.
tory. The price is around IA to
that Garcia won't score q knock
out.
HOLDS WEIGHT EDGE
The betting is based almost en-
tirely on Armstrong; whirlwind at
tack, and takes no cognizance of
the fact that Garcia will hold q
weight edge Of around 10 pounds
and q punching margin even
greater-if he can land. Perhaps
the odds are in keeping with the
situation, but it would seem that
the price layers would be wiser If
they shortened up.
The point is, Ambers Is one Of
the weakest puncherS boxing has
had in its upper flights, but he
landed uppercuts at will and with
almost lasting results. Garcia Is
one of the hardest hitterS the ring
has seen for his poundage and
an uppercut is his main weapon.
