which leg went over which!
Just today, when I was vas
cillating over a difficult decision,
1 remembered the poor cent1pede
and decided 1 was behaving ex-
actly like him. Nor am the
only one. Everywhere in this
complex world are men and
women so perplexed by the
many problems they feel must
be solved that they have quite
lost the power to, act.
A business man l know who
had a nervous breakdown caused
by worry, described the feeling
of futility that overwhelmed him.
I'D go to the Office" he said,
"and I'd sit at my desk brooding
over my health and the merger
we hadn't quite decided about
and the question of sending our
oldest boy to boarding school to
stop him from becoming a moth
er's darling. Work was piling
up besides and since I dldn' t
know what to do first I didn't
do anything and pretty soon I
was incapable of making a deci-
sion or taking a STEP"
We all know how he felt. I
understood perfectly-it's that
dreadful sense of urgency and
confusion. 1t is paralyzing when
there are several things you feel
ought to be done now, this very
minute. The worst is that you
can get as worked up about the
unimportant as the important.

One afternoon not long ago
was swapping at those around
me. tormenting myself and send
ing my blood pressure up merely
because a godchild I hadn't seen
for months was coming to tea,
two books for next days radio
program remand unread, my
hair needed washing and I felt
I ought to see a friend in the
hospital.
What finally happened was
that I stopped thinking about all
my problems except the god
child. She came on schedule and
proved so adorable and refresh
ing that felt like new woman
when she left two hours later.
I telephoned the friend in the
hospital who said with relief,
MY, I'm glad you didn't come
today. Every one in the world was
here and I'm so tired I just want
to sleep Tor a week. How about
next Tuesday?"
The books that had promised
to be hard work turned out to
be fun, and I gave my hair a
good brushing after I read in
one of them that you oughtn't
to wash your hair so often any,
way.
I'm afraid this is an over
simplification of the perpleXitles
that plague us but at least it
proves that a human being can
do what a centipede apparently
cannot-figure out how to take
one step at time.
My friend Jean, a free-lance
writer, said it perfectly. After a
frightening time when she sold
nothing at all, she was suddenly
deluged with orders for three
articles, a series of television
programs and the revision of a
play.
How on earth," asked a
friend. harried for her, "are you
going to manage all that?"
Replied Jean serenely: "One
word at a time"
If only the distraught cent?
pede could have heard, under
stood and needed!

revoked, to invest in a company
that developed the Flamingo
Hotel and gambling resort in
Las Vegas, New. He later liqui-
dated that interest, it was said,

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Feb. 6.
Welfare agencies have little
difficulty in finding the perfect

supply, social workers were told

Miss Ann S. Stone, speaking
at the Eastern regional confer
ence of the Child Welfare League
of America, said nearly a million
couples try to adopt children
each year-and there are only
!; rs, 900 babies available.
This great demand enables
