Life is funny! It slips up on
us when we least expect 1t and
in ways we least expect: All
worry in the world won't
change things.
Maybe you always have
worried about your husband
or son or daughter having an
automobile accident and
then you run into q tree.
Perhaps all your life you've
worried over your tendency to-
ward arthritis and, when the
arthritis has failed to develop
You fall down and break
your hip.
Or maybe you have been
sailing along over a period of
months or years with every
thing going right-you're
happy. well adjusted, have no
worries-so then you begin to
worry because nothing has
gone wrong. worry about
things you expect viii happen.
But they seldom happen.
See the point? I hope you've
arrived at the same conclusion
I have: worry Is unrewarding.

Plenty Of them can tell you
how their marriage was de-

Go alone to parties and ar

Better still, get into organi-

are innumerable places where

All this may sound like

Churchill, has learned a thing
or two about medicine from his
Industrious patient, relates Capt.
Harry Grattidge. former COM
Imodore of the Cunard Line, in
his autobiography Captain of
the Queens.
"One night I asked him what
he did to keep the Prime Min
lister on a proper diet, as it was
known that Sir Winston loved
good food and plenty of it.

not accept the relatives as a
substitute, but she remembered
her love for her husband and
promptly returned to him.
We cannot. of course, hold
that her husband is worthy Of
his mother-in-law's regard. but
1t certainly seems high time she
dropped her hostility. Constance
evidently is made unhappy and
difficult to live with because she
is torn by the conflict between
husband and mother, feeling
greatly in need OF both.

SET Records in
October Squirt

After a quiet Septemer, Wash

to a new all-time record for
october. william N. Cradlin,
clearing house manager, dis
closed today.
October clearingS rose to
$607, 1859 from $517,563, 673
in the previous month and were
II per cent above $546,291. 1872
in October last year.
Ten months clearings also set
new record of $5,607, zoo, $50,
with an increase of per cent
from $5,339.972,420 in the same
1855 period.
Rejecting rapid growth of the
National Capital, the latest

marks of ten years ago and
around six times levels of 20
years ago.
In 1916, October clearings
amounted to $297 $4,000, while
ten months volume was $2,575,-
290,770. In 1886, October clear
ings totaled $103.532,241, while
