YOU CAN BE HUMBLE.
BY EDWARD WHITLEY

Almost instinctively we feel a
dislike for the proud, naughty
man. The strutting, egotistical
Mussolini won few friends in the
United States. The man who is
always talking about himself,
about what he has done or is go
ing to do is not our friend. We
don't like a man who can never
begin a sentence without saying
@P'. No matter how much ability
an individual may have, we do
not want to hear him always
talking about himself. And us
ually we discovered that the men
who do the most Dragging have
the least to boast about.
just as we want men to be
humble rather than boastful, so
Jesus Christ, our God, wants
men to be humble in their rela-
tions with Him. BY describing
two men at prayer-the Pharisee
and the publican-christ brings
home to us His meaning. The
proud man, the Pharisee, said in
his prayer: 20 God, / give You
thanks that am not as the rest
of men are, extortioners, unjust
adulterers, as is this other man"
The other man, the Publican, said
in prayer, not with any false
Uriah Heep humility, but with
the humility that is the recogni-
ton of the truth of our owr
weakness, 20 God, be merciful tc
me sinner" And Jesus Christ

of Medicine from 1902 to 1916,
serving as professor of clinical
surgery from 1925 until two
years ago.
He has served on the staffs of

His son, DR.. William B. Harris,
and his wife were among the
guests at the banquet.
DIR. Harris is a brother of C. F..
Harris of Quaker City route, and
has number of nephews and
nieces here.
A cartoon feature with line
drawing of DR.. Harris and pic
tured highlights in his life, was
published in the Sunday Colum-
bus Dispatch. These were the
captions:
Ike Harris was born in a log
cabin on Tuckahoe Ridge in
Noble county AS lad he
plowed the fields with yoke of
oxen to which he ascribes some
of his ruggedness q. Young Har-
ris had such a great admiration
for his old family physician who
carpd for tho ciolx i, all lyiydc ,f
weather and at any hour of the
day or night, that he decided to
go to Startling Medical College in
Columbus His greatest hob

IN 1hundreds, but thousands
can say I live because DR.. Har-
ris passed this way Judge
Reynolds said More than 10
professional men gathered for
the golden anniversary celebra-
ton of service at the hospital of
DR.. Harris.
The 75-year-old surgeons med
ical work started at st. Francis
thospital in April, 1898, two years
before he graduated from Star
ling Medical college.
Among other prominent speak
ers was DR.. Howard l.. Bevis,
president of Ohio State Univer-
sity. Everyone arose applauding
when DR.. Charles A. Doan, dean
of the College of Medicine, Ohio
State University, the POSTMASTER,
called on DIR. Harris, whom he
termed "a one-man institution of
medical service.
Smiles We're on the faces of the
Sisters and those at the banquet
table as DR.. Harris in his quaint
and Wldely-knoWn manner said
xhe didn't know what to say.
y Waving his hand toward the
ladies in white, grouped on the
stage, DIR. Harris said he couldn't
have done much without sthe
help these sisters gave me- And
without his wife he wouldn't
have been worth darn.
He met his wife during his in
terneship. She was Anne Oliver,
a sign language instructor at the
Ohio State School for the Deaf.
Following their marriage, DR..
Harris became we'll known as the
doctor on the bicycle. He made
the rounds of his house calls with
the little black satchel hanging
on the handlebars. Later he de-
voted his entire time to surgery.
From 1915 until 1916, when he
retired, Dr. Harris was chief of
staff at st. Francis. On retire
ment, he became the hospitals
medical director.

WISE or
OTHERWISE
By d. o. BOND

The may who says there is no
God is no worse than the man
who acts there is no God
Whose rewardeth evil for good,
evil shall not depart from his
house.
Not what we gain but what we
give measures the worth of the
life we live.
He who lives only to benefit
himself confers on the world a
benefit when he dies.
A wise man isn't as certain of
anything as a fool is of every
thing.
The man who at 0.thought he
could save the world, at 40 wishes
he could save part of his salary.
People often begrudge others
what they cannot enjoy them
selves.
What counts is not the number
of hours you put in, but how
much you put in the hours.
No man can learn to read with
profit that which he cannct read

courage to be truly humble. If
we are unhappy and discontent-

not humble enough to admit we

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Veterans Administrators today
reminded World War III veterans
that the deadline for liberal re-
instatement of lapsed CT insur-
anee is July 81.
Until the deadline, veterans
may reinstate lapsed insurance

physical examination. Under the
liberal provisions now in effect,
veteran generally needs only to
certify that his health is as good
as it was on the date of lapse and
pay two monthly premiums to re-
instate term insurance, or all
back premiums with interest on
permanent types of insurance.
Eligible veterans now have un-
til June 80, 1949 to submit appli-
cations for vehicles at govern
expense under the "autos for
amputees" program, Veterans
Administration branch office in
, Columbus pointed out today.
The June 80, 1948 deadline was
extended a year in the closing
days of the 80th Congress.
The law provides an automo-
bile or other conveyance at a
cost not to exceed $1,000 for any
World War II veteran who lost,
| or lost the use of, one or both
legs at or above the ankle as the
result OF service-connected in
| juries.
The average age of World War
| II women veterans is slightly
higher than that of their male
felloW-veterans, Veterans Ad-
ministration branch office in
Columbus reported today.
! The feminine average is an
even 80 years while the average
age of the men is % years and
| 9R months.
| Under the present liberal pol
icy, a veteran may reinstate laps
led insurance without necessarily
| taking physical examination.
He generally needs only to certi-
fly that his health is as good as it
was on the date of lapse and pay
two monthly premiums to rein
state term insurance, or all pre-
miums in arrears, with interest,
on permanent types of insurance.
Veterans are urged to reinstate
their insurance in advance Of the
deadline, as the final day is on
Saturday, a non-working day for
VA offices. However, some VA
offices will remain open on July
81. as an additional accommoda-
ton to veterans.
Improved techniq1es in the
care of mentally-iE veterans are
enabling Veterans Administra-
ton, for the first time in many
years, to discharge as many pa
tients as it admits to its neuro-
psychiatric hospitals.
Generally, admissions and re-
quests for care exceed the NUM-
Der of patients discharged.
However, during a recent ten
month period 1850 more neuro-
psychiatric patients were dis
charged from VA hospitals than
were admitted. During this per-
iod, total Of 51,210 patients was
admitted for care and 52,270 dis
charged as improved or cured.

He Says Will Stop

BY the Asseeiotsd Press

BETCHWORTH, England, July
22.-Britain's Freddie Mills says he
has a new secret punch which will
stop Light-heavyweight Champion
Gus Lesnevich in their title bout in
London Monday night.
Mills did not show this new
weapon at his workout today and
says he hasn't employed it on spar
ring partners.
"If I showed 1t, 1t would no longer
be secret" he said. I've been work
ing on 1t in my bedroom. tn be
ready for Gus Monday night"
The 29-year-old British and Eu-
ropean 175-pound champion has
been training for several weeks at
the Barlow Now, a country inn To-
Gated in Surrey Hills.
I'm feeling 100 per cent better
than when fought Lesnevich two
year ago. Mills said. "I'm surprised
I did as well as did that night"
The. referee stopped that one in
the tenth round. awarding the fight
to LeSnevich.
Freddie said he figured he would
have an age advantage over the 81
year-old American.
Mills is expected to weigh in at
,173. Lesnevich may have to pare
down to make the 175-pound limit.

Tennis and Golf
Vastly Different,
Vines Declares
ey The Associoted Press

FORT WORTH, July 22.-Ells-
worth Vines, who has been in
both big-time tennis and golf,
says an athletes reactions for
the two sports certainly are diff
ferent.
Before important matches at
Forest Hills or Wimbledon" says
the man who was in this game as
a star for Is years, winning the
American professional title his
last season-1939-"I got so tied
up that I used to lose my break
fast. But once on the court,
nothing bothered me. After the
first stroke the ice was broken.
I felt healthy as a horse. At the
end I was physically tired but
mentally in high spirits"
But for golf, the big Califor-
nian went on, he is completely
cool and collected at the first tee.
BY the time I stroke the last
few holes" he declares, "the ten
sion builds up and if Jack Demp-
sey punched me in the pit of the
stomach, couldn't feel any more
miserable. When the round is
over, 1 am not physically tired
but mentally exhausted and let
down"
Whereas in tennis every days
a new day, in medal play golf
there is a carry-over, the mis-
takes are still on the board and
one goes to bed worrying about
tomorrow.

Hursey Dieted
Into TopShope

A special diet curbing sweets and
eliminating starches and fats from
his hot weather schedule will enable
Smuggy Hursey to weigh in at
around 155 pounds for his all-im-
portant 10-round return boxing bout
with Tommy Bell at Griffith Sta
dium Monday night.
The local middleweight, who scaled
. 1872 pounds for his recent battle
with Cecil Hudson here and who
has had trouble making 160 pounds
for the past year, is stronger and
better conditioned than at any time
previously in his career, he said
today.
Trainer Larry Amadee beamed
proudly yesterday when Hursey
weighed in at 1856 pounds following
his daily workout at the Liberty
A. c., and declared that the new
diet is working wonders with
Smuggy.
Bell reported here today He was
to join Hursey in daily public drills
at the Liberty Athletic Clubs gym
nasium today through Saturday
when he goes into the ring at 1:30
pm. and Smuggy at 3.
Tommy floored and won unani-
NOUS decision over the local middle
weight after Hursey had swept
through 13 successive undefeated
bouts here last September %. and
remained an S-5 choice as interest
continued to boom in Monday
nights meeting today.

billiard, Hurdles Failure, May Surprise in Sprint;
Amazing EweN Is Ace in Hole for u. S. Relay

racing. Ray Porter remarked that
billiard had been "slow off his
marks of late" Usually he has a
lead on his competitors at the first
hurdle, which gives him relaxation
and prevents the tendency to
strain and press.
We all feel that billiard belongs in
the hurdle race. but his great speed
also may surprise in the 100 meters.
Had Dillard qualified in the hurdles
we would have had the greatest trio
of hurdlers ever to represent the
United States in the Olympics.
When you consider that Forrest
Towns, our 1886 Olympic champion,
won by yards in 14.2 seconds after
doing 14.l in the semif1nals for a
world and Olympic record, we should
improve our '36 score without the
fumbling billiard!
Bill Porter, Craig Dixon and Clyde
Scott, who finished in that order in
1879, gave fair warning to all comers
that a new Olympic record may be
CoCobiAoiiCu nG dlIy tAlhC. Any ollC
of this trio clicks over all 10 hurdles.
In 1886 Fritz Pollard, jr., from the
University of North Dakota, hit
three hurdles, including the last one,
to lose second place to D. o. Find
ley of Great Britain.
Hurdle Sweep Reasonable.
So, barring accidents, it is not un-
reasonable to hope for a clean sweep
in the high hurdles while lending
billiard to the sprinters. / would say
our men will finish one-two, at least.
Just as confusing as the failure of
billiard to make our hurdle team
was the astounding performance of
Antique" Barney Ewell to clean up
all the fastest humans" from the
West, East and South. At 81 years
a sprinter is supposed to be we'll
on his way, a coach or settled bond
broker, but Barney sticks to his
5prints.
There was no fluke about his vic
tory. He won by good two feet
over Mel Patton in the world record

A schoolboy at Lancaster High in
Pennsylvania in 1896 with a 100

mature enough for Berlin. For the
IL ensuing years-war and all
Ewell has been one of the most re-
markably consistent sprinters of all
time. Twice he won the 100, 220 and
broad jump in the IC4A while
student at Penn State. But Just
when most men are skidding little

equals the world record in doing it.,
Ewell An Ace In Hole.
In case anything happens to one
OF our relay men las it did in Berlin
when Harold Smallwood was
stricken with appendicitis) Ewell
can spin off a whale Of 440. Sew
eral years ago in Philadelphia I saw
Barney run the anchor leg for his
relay team. 1t was three-laps to-
the-quarter board track and start
ing dozen yards behind he had to
run all around his competitors up
and down the banks and with a final
surge he passed the last man ahead
of him to win by a step. Ewen's
time was announced at 40 seconds
fat for the quarter, but he actu-
ally ran a good $50 yards.
I look for Patton or Ewell to beat

The best the great Jesse Owens
could do at Berlin in 1886 was 10.2

The same in the final at 1913. After
all, it is whom you beat; time takes
care of itself and Barney beat 'em
all Saturday. He is just beginning
to get in shape at 81. We hope to
have Barney for the Evening Star
