That's what everyone is 60

unnecessarily to a rebuff that
may hurt your feelings. For
unless we all do our best, NOR

So don't complain about debts,

common to us all. Pay your bills.

the family health with an unceasing

Talk Courageously.
Even if the light of your life, the
dear tunlble-headed boy who was
struggling with homework and chat
tering Scout gossip a few years ago.
even if he's gone away from home
for a while, don't make a martyr of
yourself. Realize that a million 9TH
er mothers are suffering the same
helpless agonies. and that wars are
made by man. not God. and that
consequently we are responsible for
them. 1t is for us to work against
the next war. and all wars, rather
than to bewail the perfectly natural
result of u folly in supposing that
any war will ever end war. :
Every woman you meet in the next
few months is going to do one thing
or another to you. She is going to
depress you almost to the suicide
point or she is going to give you a
message, conscious or unconscious,
hope and courage. She is going
to retail for your benefit all the
changes and discomforts that have
gone on in her own intimate circle,
the expenses and taxes. her longing
for her absent boy, and the general
misery of the world. Or she is 60

A New National Loyalty Awakes.
There are going to be lots of things

do. If there is an awakening of new
national loyalty. a new unity of feel
ing among us all. it will be pure
gain. Whatever happens in Europe.

in the wal or whether some sudden
peace is patched up over there. we

MY trouble is that I am bored.
A fine colored girl has entire charge
of the downstairs region; Diantha
has cooked, served, busted, ordered,
budgeted for me for seven peaceful
years. The children's nurse runs
everything upstairs; Peter and Pam

course, but for baths. breakfasts,
suppers, and getting to and from
school they are with their adored
Yedda. Yedda was my nurse 30
years ago.
When Howard is here we dine
with friends. play bridge. take the
children to country club lunches on
Sunday, 60 to an occasional good
movie. We never quarrel. When
he is away I do much the same
thing, only with friends instead of
husband.
And I am so bored, bored, bored
all the time that it is becoming an
effort not to scream! I read of other
women, many younger than l. whose
lives are full of change, excitement,

No Answer.
No. l won't make my answer too
moral, Anna. for l shan't answer

ninety-nine out Of every hundred

The big drop from the Golden Age
to 1871 comes in the matter of color.
Those stars of the Golden Age
not only had unusual ability, but
they had a flare and a flame that
travelled around the world. They
caught and held the public eye. They
drew crowds that had no interest in
the sport they featured.

The most ~colorful champion we

may be a tri1e on the goofy side.
but he has caught the attention of
the country.
He can run like the wind and he
can run any distance. His main
qualities are speed and stamina.
What else can you ask for? Once
he started 10 move he was 20 lengths
better than anything in the Derby
field. Under the same conditions he
was able to pick up and add rs
lengths on King Cole in the Freak

chance that WhirlaWay may go on
to be the top horse of all time.
