morrow in their hands, and in their
hearts, and the destiny of hearts, of
homes, and of nations.

/ come across the "brooding"

II seems that greater and
greater number of heroes Of fic-
ton. particularly, if they are
born in Germany, Austria or
Russia. brood on life" They
generally wind up by commit
ting suicide or brooding over a
whisky bottle at a bar.
Why do not the heroines Of
novels brood on life"? 1t seems
TO me that brooding is more Of
a feminine job than a males, as.
for instance. hens brood" or
"she raised a brood Of children. :"
Maybe women have a fine habit
of just living life instead Of
"brooding" on it.
Anyhow, sonny. if you are
reading a novel in which the
hero, so-called, begins to brood
on life. chuck it for The Three

URIC JOHNSTON has, for a

That organization, like the
National Association of Manu-

influence among American busi-

into segnents and fragments Of
motive, purpose and objectives
during the u years of the New

When the principal customer

attitudes which increase as

Actually, all that Green agreed

What then becomes of the
