IN grow" said Elizabeth. "I'll
eat lot. You'll see."
Inside of three months she added
three inches to her stature - or so
the studio swears.
Elizabeth inherited her acting abil-
ity. Her mother is the former Sara
Sothern, American actress. But she
acquired her horsemanship the hard
way. She also paints, plays the piano.
As you can see from our cover,
14-year old Elizabeth likes animals.
Her collection includes fish, rabbits,
turtles, an owl, a chipmunk, ducks,
and even snakes and mice.

coveries in the course of the war, found
countless sources of unexpected strength
in organization, in techniques, in man.
power, in cooperation.
But not one of those discoveries is worth
more to the ordinary, individual American
than the grim, unexciting truth, found the
hard way by 100000 Americans under
arms: You can take more than you
think
take it that licks men and women without
number. People are timid, or jittery, or
they get begged down in indecision - for
fear of losing something they happen to
have. Something that may not be impor
tant at all.
/ ONCE knew a girl who worried herself
into nervous breakdown for fear of losing
piddling little job working for a twerp.
There was man in my home town who
took to drink because he was afraid the
bank would foreclose his mortgage So, of
course, it did,
Anybody who is old enough to vote will
remember the ninnies who jumped by
scores out of seventh-story windows in
1929 - because they suddenly had lost a
lot of money that had been easy for them
to make.
1t isn't that such people can't take it.
They can. But they don't even try, be-
cause they think they can't. Long ago
they made up their minds They put a
high price on what they owned; low
price on themselves.
And even people who have serious
things happen sometimes sell themselves
short for sheer ignorance of how much
they can take.
/ HAD a friend once, who was on the
driving end of bad automobile accident.
Years later he told me how near he had
come, in remorse and fancied disgrace, to
doing away with himself. II thought" he
said, 1T was going to be so much worse
than it was - that living on would be
worse than death"
There may once have been some excuse
for thinking like that. Not now.
The way of the world has shown us
in the last few years both at home and
abroad that no matter how bad things
are, you can always take more than you
think.

democracy was made by Benjamin
