The HOUSE on LILAC STREET

The two youthful faces bright

tive'S manner inspired conf

Mike. frankie told his story, the
words tumbling out in a rush in
his anxiety to please. Fletcher
listened carefully, then called TO
one of the men
Sergeant, find out where these
boys live, and take them home"
He looked at them. Il may want
to ask you some more questions
later. If so. I'll let you know"
AS the boys went off. Lieuten-
ant Fletcher walked thoughtfully
toward the little group of men at
the waters edge.
The girls body was being
placed on a stretcher. The medi-
cal examiner came up to him.
whats the verdict, Doc?"
Fletcher asked.
IN have to make a further
examination, of course" was the
reply. ''but there's no doubt
about it. This girl was strangled."
How long would you say she's
been dead?"
Hard to tell exactly, but
should say since sometime yes
terday afternoon. I'll be able to
tell better later"
She must have lain here all
night. The ground under her is
quite dry. Looks to me as if she
was killed somewhere else and
brought here. There's no sign Of
a struggle"
"More than likely" the doctor
replied. ~I'l send you the par
ticulars as soon as can" He
hurried off.
With the removal of the BODY.
the onlookers had begun to dis
perSe. and quiet settled over the
park again.
Fletcher was the last to 60. He
stood deep in thought. Somehow,
what had happened here was out
of keeping with the sunlight and
the sparkling water.
Finally he too turned and
made for his car. AS he got in, he
glanced at the plainclotheSman
behind the wheel.
Well" he remarked. Missing

He placed on the seat beside

HIS son who had never been to
college worked with him and help
ed built up the business.
A long time ago, an itinerant
Carpenter told the world that 'As
man thinkith, so he is" Ii is as
true today as it was then. If we
have faith and courage and do our
work the best we know how, if We
are cheerful and friendly and give
good measure, we will pre- per
anG be happy and because we are
too busy to worry.
On the other hand, If we per-
NIT Ourselves to get all hoped up
and upset over situations over
which we have no control, if we
build up fears and prejudices and
spend our time thinking of all the
terrible things that may happen,
we usually bring on the troubles
we have anticipated. For the Car
penter also told US that The thing
we feared would come upon us"
You and l and our neighbor can
worry and talk this country into
a depression and it will be as
tough and Misunderstanding as We
visualize it. il we neglect doing
the things we are supposed to do
and spend our time spreading
fear and alarm. The best way to
avoid depression is to quit
thinking and talking about one.

There is an old story about d
man who lived by the side OF the
road and sold hot dogs. His hear
ing was poor so he had no radio.
He had trouble with his eyes. so
he did not read the newspapers.
But he sold mighty good hot dogs.
He was friendly and courteous
and gave his customers good SER
vice. He put up attractive signs on
the highway, telling now good his
hot dogs were. He put a modest adj
IN the local newspaper, telling
the same story and ran it every
day. He stood on the side of the
road cried to passing motorists:
Have hot dog, mister, they're
delicious" And people bought.
His business grew like a weed
More and more people bought his
hot dogs and because they were
pleased, told others. So he in
creased his bun and meat order.
Still the business grew until he
had to enlarge his stand. So MANY
customers came that he couldn't
take care of them by himself. so
he hired man to cook and Girl
to hop cars. Then he bought a fine
new stove. He was happy and
making money.
Then his son came home from
college Proud of his growing bus
mess and happy to haze his boy
home, the man said, Son. did
all this for you. it's a good little
business and it's growing, I'm
taking you in Is a partner and
when retire it will be all yours. -
But father" the son said.
Haven't YOU been listening TO
the radio? Don't you read the
newspapers? There's a big de-
preston on. The European situa-
ton is terrible. The domestic It.
uation is worse. Unemployment
is growing by leaps and bounds.
The state is broke and can't pay
its bills. Business is st9gnant. pro-
duction is falling off and the
country is going to pot"
Whereupon. the father thought,
We'll, my sons been to college.
He is educated and understands
these things. He LISTENS to the
radio and reads the newspapers
and he certainly ought to know
what he is talking about"
So the father Immediately be-
gan to curtail. He had ordered a
new counter and some more stools
but he called up the supply house
and cancelled the order Then he
cut down on his bun and meat or
der. He fired the cook and the
car hop and phoned the news
paper, telling them to stop his
advertising. He took down his
road signs and quit standing on
the highway inviting people to
sample his. hot dogs.
Sales fell off over night. De-
pressed, the old man became sur
ly, he ws.s discourteous. gave poor
service and was so chinchy with

toners hehad left began to COM
plain.
You're right, son." the old man
said gloomily, 1--WE certainly are
bang smack in the middle of the
worst depression I've ever exper-
fenced.
A mile or so down the road an
other chap opened hot cog stand.
He had good hot dogs, gave ex-
eellent service, was courteous and
attentive to customers and he did
a land office business. He was so
busy and making so much money
that he didn't have time to think
about the European situation or
the domestic situation or unem-
plovment. He hired the cook and
