THESE DAYS

WHENEVER I see BIZ JEFF
W ferS, feel my feet firm on
the soil of America. 1t is a Curl
Gus sensation, this hypnotism Of
solidity. Some men are of granite
and the ups-and-downs OF life
make no impress upon them.
For instance, when the Ameri-
can Irish Historical Society pre-
sented Bill letters with medal
for his distinguished services, he
asked TO share II posthumously
with his father. Bills father
had never risen above the posi-
ton Of day laborer on the rail-
road Of which his son is now the
president-but TO a man of Bits
solidity of character, that i'm
migrant day laborer was the
author Of any advantages Bill
may today possess.
No man is self made. He is
family made; he is the product
Of the love and character Of a
man and a woman, a husband
and a wife. a father and mother.
And so Bill Jeffers could say
of men like his father-men of
the soil and of clean living,
often in poverty but never IN
dependence:
"a. they built h o m e s--not
houses--homes, and these homes,
the backbone of American sta
bility, were their seriously ac-
cepted responsibility and they
carried that responsibility man.
fully through life.
WT'HEY built churches and
Il they revered religion
and they practiced 1t. They
battled whole heartedly on poll
teal questions hut with an eye
always on the good of America.
They came here because they
believed in America and, once
planted here, they kept the
faith"
II was such men who built
our country from the Mayflower
to this day and they built well
and firmly because they built
into the soil. They let down
deep and strong roots. They
were unlike the mystical eX-
ponents of the trial and error
method who bring TO us FAM
taStic confuSions. But let Bill
letters speak Of them:
These national problems; ar
tifcially expanded and compli-
Gated, discourage a common
sense attack on the cause. They
encourage the trial and error
method. Now this method may
prove useful tO inventors and I'm
research laboratories. IL won't
work on railroad. An error
may wreck n train. And this
trial and error method, II per-
sisted In. may wreck the Ameri-
can nation.

British government was prepar-

the islands in which we have
been granted air and naval

The outright cession Of these

There Is a good deal of social
and moral anarchy going about
just now, but there has always
been a lot of it--so what? We
have no proof women are TO
blame. There may be wee bit

Answer to Question No. 1

Decidedly. When you reach
a decisive. aggressive attitude,
you will find your posture is
erect. your chin is up and your
chest out. Your whole body as
sumes a vigorous posture with
out you having noticed il. Now
reverse the process. When you
feel blue and lacking in self
confidence throw off that hang
dog look. tighten your muscles
and clench your fists. sit up or
stand UP and take a few vigor-
Gus steps. You will be surprised
how 1t increases your determi-
