AS a Man Thinketh

In rejecting on the good life one
is impressed at first by the variety
Of conceptions thereof. So variable
Is human nature that this variety
in desire and aim is inevitable. The
world of humanity is made interest
ing by this ariety. The riches OF
all are increased: all are gamers by
a diversity Of traits and pursuits,
abilities and conceptions. Uniform
ity as virtue has its limits. A
liberal society makes for the en-
richment of all by the tolerance IL
shows for individuality.
After all. despite this diversity.
there is a great area of uniformity
in mankind 1t matters little
whether it be philosophers In their
ivory towers, or farmers at the
polling bootheS, or factory workers
in their union halls. there is ulti-
mate agreement that the life they
desire, the life which they esteem
as tn good life. has at least three
characteristics: freedom, abun.
dance, justice.
Which three desires-or, il you
please, demands - admirably COM
bine material and spiritual values:
two-thirds spiritual, one-third mate
rial which Is as II should be. We
will examine these In our next
issue.

Every person has his own idea OF
the good life. Every person desires
for himself what he conceiveS 10 be
the good life-for himself and for
those dear TO him. This conception
depends on the individuality of the
man. Ii is the key 10 his character.
II involves two elements: being
and having. And these two ele-
ments are so related that they are
inseparable. What one has and
desires 10 have shows pretty we'll
what one is. And whatever per-
son actually is. regardless of all
appearances, reveals itself in what
he possesses and desires 10 pos
sesS.
So the good life, in each ones
conception, consists in being some
thing in having something and, let
US add, in doing something. For all
life issues in doing. A life with
out action, action directed toward
chosen attachments and achieve
ments. is no life, but only exist
ence A fuller richer being and a
more abundant having Is the aim
of every child of Adam and Eve.
And name Eve because OF the
snake-and-apple story. For 1t all

have-in the Garden of Eden long,
long ago.

man at her right. She let their
names rattle in her head, knowing
she could never remember them,
and because she was puzzled over
this odd reception, she just leaned
back and smiled and waited.
Coffee was placed before her. a
strong, bitter brew in a demi-tasse
cup. In spite of its unfamiliar and
unpleasant taste, Mallor.' was glad
to drink it. 1t gave her something
to do while she tried to determine
why all the extra guests were sit
ting in on the interview. Her stay
in the capital city had been too
short to teach her that friends of
friends joined any party that
looked interesting and became a
part OF the conviviality.
While she slipped her caustically
strong coffee. Mallory found herself
grateful to Prism for having in
sisted on the black velvet dress.
Manuelita wore a lightweight wool
dress, just right for the semi-tropi-
cal afternoon, with a smart black
hat back Of her towering pompa-
dour, Mexican silver jewelry and a
silver fox scarf. Her face, beneath
its heavy powder, was that olive
tint so luminous that it sometimes
seems more pale than the skin of
a blonde. Her lips, deeply scarlet,
heightened the paleness. Her eyes
were something not easy to de-
scribe: it would be as useless as
trying to describe the beauty of
the sun. And her voice was like a
deep-toned bell.
Manuelita, begrudged Mallory,
was quite a gal. She was asking
questions of the singer now, trans
lating those of the Mexican report
ers into English, receiving Nal
lory's answers, putting those back
into swift Spanish. Mallory knew
now why the Mexican girl was
along Latham and Roberts could
have handled the TRANSACTIONS, but
theirs would have been hating.
Naturally, Manuelitas Spanish was
not hating. Nor was her English;
it fairly winged from her mouth.
The questions were not the in

were taking an examination, one

slangy remark amused her. She

seemed the Mexican reporters
hoped to disconcert her. They pur-
posely were sporting their own
knowledge, using 1t to hint. to the
great Mallory Baker that she need
not get on any high horse with
them.
There was one redeeming feature
to the situation, the man at NAL
lory's right. even though she had
had no time for him. She took time
now. The smile she gave him was
loaded with sweetness. Intention

He smiled back. More coffee ?"

she accepted delighted him. Il am

Child's Sight Defects

II is a common experience for
an oculist to have such a child
brought to him and on asking it
to read the letters on a test chart,

have the child exclaim: 81 don't

ing blind or is partially blind
merely near-sighted.
Poor vision in the old, or mid
die aged, however. never has this
kind of approach. The middle aged
man knows his vision is failing be-
cause he has a standard of an &C
tive life with good vision to COM
pare it by. Of course in the mid
die aged not one case in a thou
sand is due to anything but the
natural loss of elasticity of the
lens-presbyopia - which glasses
Sill remedy.
But that one in a thousandth
case may be cataract or glaucoma.
Glaucoma is an increase in the
pressure inside the eyeball. If not
relieved the pressure may destroy
the optic nerve. This can be pre-
vented in over 900 of cases if it
u discovered early enough
Glaucoma practically always at
lacks both eyes and usually strikes
people over 40. Glaucoma some
times causes pain in the eyes, but
rarely. Those who have pain from
their glaucoma are lucky BECAUSE
it takes them to the oculist. Most
have slight indications Of failing
vision. Do you have to change your
glasses regularly? Do you have
slight dimming vision? Do your
eyes or head ache after pro-
longed stay in the dark? Do you
see halos around street lights ?
These things do not necessarily
mean glaucoma, but they may.
II you go to your oculist regu-
larly after forty he will test the
pressure of your eyeballs as part
Of a routine examination and this
warns you in time.
The danger to the middle-aged
person with failing vision is that
he is likely to try some fool pro-
cedure that avoids treatment by
an oculist. l have a letter from
someone who wanted to know if
killing a chicken and putting the
warm entrails on the eye would
cure cataract.
