RADIANT LIVING
D0 YOU TALK moo MUCHg
BY REV. G. M. GRIFFErH
Pastor Methodist church, ceciiton. Md.

Have you met certain people who
are continuously talking? You
have often observed that although
they talk a lot, they say very
little.
But have you ever noticed that
a silent man sometimes by his very
silence speaks volumes? Although
his lips remain firmly closed, you
are deeply impressed by his mas
terful command over himself.
Knowing the difficult and perhaps
desperate situation which he may
be in. you admire his quiet poise
Somehow you feel that he has at
his command great reserves of
power, strength and ability.
This was the impression that
PLATE must have gotten when, ang-
rily demanding Jesus to defend
Himself against false charges, he
'marveled" that Jesus answered
nothing" In the silence of Jesus,
PLATE realized that he was face to
face with no ordinary man, but a
man who was in absolute control o.
himself.
Victories are not won by the
multitude of words, but by the
power of self discipline. As the
Proyerb has it: ''He that rpleth his
tongue is greater than he that
taketh a city,"
1t is this ability to remain, when
in a difficult situation, not only
poised in body, but poised as well
in speech. which gives you the
bearing of mastery. 1t declares
aloud the fact that you are in con
troll of the situation. In a tight
situation, the fewer words you use,
the greater weight they will have.
Perhaps in the multitude of your
words you betray your weakness
and lose your battles. Every use
less word you speak is an opening
presented to the enemy, inviting
attack.
If you. would live radiantly, if
you would live happily, if you
would live successfully, you must
become poised in speech.
Happy is the man who can keep
himself from talking too much!

East Coast Fuel Oil
Problem Desperate,
Refiners Told
STANDARD of New jersey
President Appeals
For Supplies
b. tie Associated Press.

6S lFt ASSOCidted FreSS.
TULSA, Okla, Feb. 25.-The
problem of supplying fuel for the
East Coast apparently remained one
of the oil industry's biggest worries
today.
Diversion and loss of tankers up
set the fine balance between sup
ply and demand that the industry
had maintained during peacetime.
One of the first appeals to Mid
Continent and Texas refiners for
fuel oil came from w. S. Parish,
president of the Standard Oil Co.
OF New Jersey. Mr.. Parish wired
refiners:
I'VE are in desperate need of
kerosene, range oil, No. 2 heating
oil and bunker C., or No. 6 fuel
oil. Will appreciate any help you
can offer"
Another proposal also is being
studied to aid the East Coast sup
ply situation. From Houston, Harry
C. Wiess, chairman of the Trans
portation Committee of district g.
Office of the Petroleum Co-ordina-
tor, said he had named two sub
committees to study the transporta-
tion problem.
Results of the committees study,
- it was said, may involve such un-
usual measures as moving some ex-
isting pipe lines for use elsewhere,
or the conversion of gasoline to oil
for emergency movement"
In the field, competitions con-
tinued below last year. The Oil
and Gas Journal listed 367 for the
week, compared with the same
number for the previous week, and
461 a year ago.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Seventy-
eight per cent of the members of the
National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
ton favor q Federal retail sales tax,

sumner, and would be in lieu of man
ufacturers and retailers excise taxes

vocate the Federal retail sales tax at

law Of 1912.
