If You're Going Spiritual
Here's Some Good TIPS
BY DAMON RUNYON

name of Bill to find out where
Bill had put some fishing tackle
belonging to him.
The alleged spiritualist was
big fellow with a fat stomach
and our old man said he was
surprised TO find at the seance
the widow of the departed Bill
and also the widows of several
other departeds, so he Judged
the SpiritualiSt was doing a
swell business.
Bills widow was the first TO
get in her order for communica-
ton with the spirit of the
departed and sure enough the
spiritualist raised a voice in "a
darkened room that he said was
Bills.
OUR old man was just about
" to break in and ask Bills
spirit about the fishing. tackle
when he heard the voice adj
dressing the widow and asking
her how she felt and if she still
loved him and our old man got
right up and said:
"See here, Abbie chat was
the widows name) you know
blame well that old Bill wouldn't
want to come within 50 miles of
any place where he thought
you'd be and If he did he wouldn't
care a whOOp how you felt.
"You- know that know he
hadn't spoken word to you I'm
three years prior TO joining the
departed and that he wouldn't
ask you II you still loved him
because he was onto you carry
ing on with that fellow that runs
the livery stable"
These remarks caused quite a
stir because all the ladies pres
ent knew they were true and
they began running out of the
place denouncing the spiritualist
fellow as a fake. although our
old man tried to stop them by
telling them that he made no
such charges but that he just
thought maybe the spiritualist
had got hold of the wrong spirit.
The next day a couple OF the
widows grown children came
around and thanked our old man
for rescuing their nav from the
clutches of the sDiritualist as il
seems she had been paying him
money to communicate with the
spirit of the departed Bill. but
they did not offer 10 pay the
doctors bill for patching up the
wounds the spiritualist inflicted
on our old man. who said he
would not have minded il he had
been able TO find out about the
fishing tackle.

New Traffic Answer

TRAFFIC ENGINEER d. GRANT MICKLE popped
i up with an interesting thought traffic last
week when he introduced the Common Council to the
phrase "semi-limited highway"
The idea was touched briefly during the discus
sion which led up to the prohibition of all left turns
from Grand River.
Mckle endorsed The left turn ban enthusiast
ticaly but pointed that his original recommended
ton for Grand River went one step further
establishing it "semi-mited access highway.
He explained he dissuaded from the plan by
the other members Of the mayors traffic committee
who took the more conservative viewpoint.
What is a semimted access highway?
Well Mickle explains that YOU take major traffic
artery and permanently block off all of the side streets
running into except at the important intersections
which are protected by traffic signals.
This permits greater speed with safety and allows
the motorst drive without being troubled with worries
that some vehicle will shoot out Unexpectedly from
side street.

RNI.AX BY EXERCISING


The text of today's Sermon" is
Relax by Exercising" A great
number of people today suffer con
iinually from nervous tension. EX-
ercise will aid materially in remedy
ing this condition. Exercise does
two important things: first, It en-
tourages relaxation and second. il
speeds up circulation and couse-
Iuently elimination. When nerv-
GUS tensions are relaxed the body
functions normally, provided, of
course that the individual is fee
from any other physical disorder.
A special interval for relaxation
after the days work is completed
will revive dropping spirits and
help us face the evenings program
with some anticipation. The office
worker or housewife will profit by
the addition of this period to her
daily schedule.
A twenty-minute period Of per-
feet relaxation after the hustle and
hurry of your everyday business
will virtually give you a new slant
on life-if you work at it. Most
people have a very difficult time re-
taxing, so give yourself every op-
portunity to do 1t right. Precede
the rest by a leisurely shower and
a set of exercises designed to
loosen the nervous tension which
has been gathering bit by bit since
you awoke this morning. Do not
wear binding garments or have your
hair up on curriers'.
4 All exercises taken to relieve
/ nervous tension should be per-
! formed In an effortless. manner.
Any good set Of stretching exercises
performed in lazy way will serve
the purpose. For the back muscles

ON THE JOB

The man who is on the job only when
he is wearing his overalls, or when he
is working at his desk, or standing BE-
hind the counter, will probably stay
there as long as he lives, although he
will be among the first to b. let out
, when business slows up. Industrial
! process S are movir g along so fast that
no man who wants to get ahead can
afford merely to plug along doing rou-
| tine things, allowing the job to get a.
head of him, instead of trying b kesr
ahead of the job.
The sound of the whistle isn't q sign
that he is to stop thinking about the
job. 1t is fact that the man who Is
on the job longest and hardest when
he is away from thu shop will ultima-
tely spend the least time in the shop
We're thinking now of the man who
will some day land inside the superin-
ndent's rail, while others wait out
side the gate. It's so easy to stocI
when the job gets hard and to find
a really legitimate excuse for chuck
ing it one that will be accepted
by our friends and be a comfort tc
ourselves.
Those who succeed get there princi-
pally because they hang on when Others
