DO Your Best and End
Will Take Care of Itself

There's a bit of impressive sem
timent in this homely thought of
Abe Lincoln's:
eff I were to try to read, much
less answer, all the attacks made
on me, this shop might as well
be closed for any other business.
I do the very best know how-the
very best I can; and mean to
keep doing so until the end. If
the end brings me out all right,
what is said against me won't
amount to anything. If the end
brings me out wrong, 10 angels
swearing I was right would make
no difference"

was small. They had four rooms
then; when little sister came it
was six rooms, then modest sub
urban home with trees; then big
ger home Of late years things have
been easier for them all; mother,
father, Gran, two sons, two daugh-
tiers. Just typical American
home, but perhaps an unusually hap
py one.
Sees Sailor Leave Home.
Now Paul was going away. His
unmarried uncle happened to be
there when he left. The free and
happy bachelor saw the mothers
white, smiling face; heard the notes
in the fathers voice. He witnessed
the heroic efforts of both sisters to
pretend that this was all merely ex-
citing and normal; he saw the ten
year-old brother shyly lowering
about Paul; Paul in his blue uni
form. He'd been out to the south
seas once, as the decoration over
his young heart testified; he was
going out again. Was he going to
come home safe again?
Of course he was, they all said
gallantly. His room was to be left
untouched; his gun and fishing rod
and camera, all the souvenirs of his
happy boyhood would wait for him
to come back. The adoring airedale
would wait, too. His sisters, with
last embraces, promised to write;
little brother disappeared with the
dog, they fled up to the attic without
any good-bys. Dad would take Paul
to the station; Nom had her last
kiss.
It was the darkest hour of that
family's life. And yet, when Paups
uncle, so free, so untrammeled by
family ties, walked away from the
house with me, he seemed to have
little to say. And when he did speak
it was of Paul's father, his brother,
and what he said might surprise
some of the younger bachelors of
today, who feel pretty sure that they
never want to marry.
"Dick and Mary and the kids
God knows how I envy them," he
said. "They have everything. Even
today. Even today"
Bachelors Enjoy Luxuries.
Bachelors, with rare exceptions,
grow in, not out. They profess loud
ly that they enjoy their freedom;
they fit themselves up delightful
apartments, if they can afford the
luxury; they have ten invitations
to the married mans one. No house
keeping troubles for them; hotels
and clubs take care of all that. No
anxious vigils at the lying-in hos
pital, no wakeful nights when Junior
has a croupy cough; no hurrying
home because dinner is early when
Grandma is there; no discussion of
schools. The bachelor uncle sees
the children only when they are well
and clean and good.
But all the time he's growing in.
not out. He isn't expanding into
new heights of thoughtfulness and
self-denial as his brother-in-law is.
He isn't growing kinder, wiser, more
beloved all the time. He is getting
fussy, particular, tiresome, vain
and lonely, lonely, lonely. For GIN
rummy, even taken in large doses,
is no substitute for the imperative
demands of small girl of five, con-
fidently mounting to her fathers
knee, and even the smartest house
party lacks the warmth of a quite
humble silver wedding celebration
with all its memories.

The state police were giving ex-

Upon returning from the driving

Sam replied promptly: "Fo' BIZ

THAT married men live
longer than bachelors do
= is the statement of DR.. j.
V. Deporte of the New York state
health department. Incidentally
this statement is causing con-
siderable discussion and arous-
ing wide interest. One blithe
commentator upon it is a friend
of mine, Frank Crowninshield,
member of one of Americas
proudest old families, club man,
socialite, writer, editor, lectur-
er, bridge authority. Mr.. Crown
inshield observes that it isn't a
longer life that is desirable, but
a more enjoyable life; he asserts
that the average bachelor would
rather drink hemlock outright
than subscribe to DR.. Deporte's
prescription for longevity; home
life, regularity, abstention from
alcohol, wifely supervision, care
of his health.
He also suggests that married
women would be the first to object
to the elimination of bachelors; in
the social order they are of immense
value at dances, dinners, house par
ties, giving hope to the unmarried,
listening to wifely tales of husbands
frailties.
Seriously, any statistics compar-
ing the wed to the unwed state seem
to me rather foolish. A bachelor
may be an abstemious, sport-loving,
out-of-door healthy type of man
whose health is perfect and whose
chances of long life are good. A
husband may be a badly fed, har-
assed, burdened creature who early
wears himself out with work and
worry. DR.. Deporte is quoted as
saying that his figures are taken
from the death rates from accidents,
alcoholism, homicide, pneumonia,
tuberculosis and the so-called social
diseases.
Married Men Drink Heavily.
But many a husband drinks, too.
In fact, I would venture to claim that
in many salary-groups of men and
women, especially those lowest in
the income-tax scale, it is the mar
ried man who drinks most heavily.
In such groups there are few
bachelors, and many children. But
tuberculosis, alcoholism and pneu-
nionia by no means spare these
groups. These evils flourish among
the crowded homes of the poor. AS
for accidents, they spare no type
nor class. The reeling drunkard
slips unharmed between crashing
cars and trucks; the weary bewil-
dered little factory worker going
quietly home is struck down.
And yet, when all this is admitted,
there do remain many good reasons
why married men should have bet
ter chance at long life than their
bachelor brethren. Thousands of
homes may be bad, but millions are
good. Millions of married men go
home to a wifely welcome, hot
well-cooked dinner, the love of chill
dren, the normal, vital interests of
a husband and father. Love is
the very essence of life, and many
a man otherwise poor is rich in
it. If beside him as he goes through
life is a woman whose deepest con-
Germ is for his health, his safety,
his comfort, he is not lone indi-
yidual. He is Incorporated into the
very fabric of living; his mate, his
son, his daughter, his home and
garden, work and friends are all so
many threads to keep him young
and interested, busy and satisfied.
A few months ago one boy, home
on leave, went off to rejoin the
armed forces. He was the first
born; his parents had had to work
hard to take care of him when he

HOW GOOD ARE PASSENGER CAR

1t may be long time before all civilians get syn

few who do get them you will want this information:
Synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars are good
tires, and will give you satisfactory service if you take
care of them
You should not think of synthetic rubber tires I'M
proved tires but emergency tires And remember that
they have not yet had time to prove what they do
1t is beside the point to theorize how they would
react to the phenomenally high speeds of prewar days.
Every patriotic American knows that tire teads all
tire teads out faster at high Speeds and drives
at today recommended speed of 35 miles an hour.
As time goes on, we will learn about the effects
of undernfaton of rough roads, and of other abuses

portionately more harm to synthetic rubber tires.
Meanwhile, oil tires are rotioned to you in trust

As experience teaches us more and more about syn

you. Meantime, play safe Be careful!
If you use synthetic rubber tubes be sure they are
properly installed They should be put into the tire then

never be mounted on rusty rims.
