Isa. 41: 10. HEROES , i: The name of Brown appears large in the headlines. Brown, we are led to believe won the game. A five-colum photo graph shows us Brown in the act of carrying the ball ovev.- But who is the unidentified youngster with the long logs who is one step ahead of Brown in the photograph? His name is Smith, and he isn't a hero. He doesn't count. : Brown carried the ball over the goal line five times, and all this fellow Smith had to do was to lope at his side and block tackles who had designs on Brown. He merely cleared the way and reduced Brown's duties to the simple business of trotting behind and clinging to the ball. ( Insignificant Smith! Glorious Brown! .-; Dispatches from the front inform us that the gallant Four Hundred and Twenty-first stormed the ridge and cleared out a nest that had threatened the line for weeks. Actually stormed the position, right up that steep hill ! ' Glorious achievement! ; ra ( Of course there were many batteries in the rear that bornbarded the ridge for an hour before the advance and laid jdowh'a creeping barrage' thatf'destrdyticl every living thing Cn the ridge and before it, but these batteries merely killed off the enemy and made the advance possible. That was all. ;. Two brothers get jobs and feed the family in order that a third may be relieved of obligation and may get an education. The public prints praise him. The third, thus favored, makes the most of his opportunity and achieves distinction. He is: the family hero the neighborhood hero.

' WHW MOTHERS G-&T GRAW cr rwiU.wm& . i : I PITY THE MISER I it The oddest news stories that ever get into tho papers, perhaps, axe those which tell about misers. , j- A new version of this old type of story appeared not long ago. when Chicago courts investigated the affairs of an aged ag picker who had just died. j. For a quarter of a century this man had gone about Chi cago's west side gathering rags and old bottles, lie was known to be a bit "near," and casual acquaintances guessed jthat he had laid away a good deal of money; but no one was prepared for what actually was discovered, jf This rag picker, who worked at the very bottom of the scale and lived in a one-room flat, had an estate worth more Ithan $1,000,000 not on paper, but in actual cash and government bonds. f .Stories of this kind aren't exactly rare; and they always ;set one musing about the peculiar way in which the human Wind can work occasionally. For they represent such a; complete mistaking of the means for the end, such a tho rough perversion of tho ordinary objectives of life. , . iAny man of ordinary intelligence knows perfectly well that money, by itself,- isn't worth anything. It is of value only becauso of the things it will buy. The man who has plenty of money can get u better life for himself and his family than the man who lacks it. He can havo leisure, pleasant surroundings, time for honest recreation, a chance to develop lu's spirit. 1 The man who piles up a fortune because he wants those things because he realizes that wealth is only a means to an end knows what he is doing. Hut what are we to think of the man who rolls up an enormous bank account but refuses to take advantage of it 4 the man who is rich but who persists in living under the handicap of poverty? A man like that is more to be pitied than the penniless .vagrant. He has failed to gliiupso tho real meaning of life. on0 of the best-looking wives I have over seen. She Is a dandy. I am get ting acquainted with my neighbors and learning to love them. . Three years ago, I ordered my clothes from a merchant-tailor two and three suite at a time. ' All my clothes wore good ones, I was always dressed up. But now, I haven't bought a suit of clothes In two years. I am mighty proud of my Bunday-go-to-meetlng clothes. When I dress up, I am dressed up, and I don't mean maybe. I like tho depression. Three years ago I was so busy and my wife was so busy that we didnt see much of each other, consequently we sort of lost Interest In each other. I never went homo to lunch. About twice a week I went home for din nor nt 6:30 o'clock. I never had time to go nnywhore with her. If I did go on a party, I could ncvor locate her and since there was always a "blonde" or a "red head" available I didn't worry much about It. My wife belonged to ail tho clubs In town. She even Joined the young mother's club. Wo didn't havo any children, but she was studying and between playing bridge and going to qlubs, she was never at homo.' Wo got stuck up, and high fain tin. Wo, even took down , tho old family bed and bought a sot of twin beds on tho Installment, plan. ' , , When I would como.homo at night. 1 If my wife was at homo, she; would already bo- In her bed and I would crawl In mine. If she camo In first, it was vice versa.-' ( j ..-";: ' We like tho depression, r Wo- have come down off our pedestal and are really living at my house now. The twin beds aro stored In the garage and the old family affair is being used. Wo are enjoying life. Instead of taking a hot water bottle to .bed theso cold nights, she sticks her heels In my back Just like eho did before Hoover was elected. . A I haven't been out on n party In 18 months. I havo lost my book of tele phone numbers. My wlfo has dropped all tho clubs. I believe wo aro falling In lovo all over again. I am pretty well 'satisfied with my wlfo. Think I will keep her, at least until she ltt forty and then If I feel llko I do now, I may trade her for two twenties. I am feeling bettor since tho de pression. I take more exorcise. I walk to town and a lot of folkn who usea to drive Cadillacs aro walking with me. I llko tho depression. My digestion Is better. I haven't been to sco a doctor In a year. I can eat anything I want to. I am getting .real honest-to-good- ness food. Three years ago, wo had a fillet mlguou onco a week, now we havo round steak and (lour gravy. Then wo had roast breast of guinea hen. now we are glad to get sow boHom with tho buttons on It. I like the deprrailon. The wnlnry has beon cut to where I can't afford to buy lettuce and spinach and par sley and wo can't afford to have sand wiches and frozen desserta unri all tho damfooltslmesa which has killed more good men than tho World war. I like tho depression. Three years ago, I never had tlmo to go to church. I played golf all day Sunday and be sides I was bo darned smart that there wasn't a preacher in West Texas who could toll mo anything. Now I am going to church regularly and U this depression keeps on, I'll bo going to prayer meeting before lotiR. I llko tho depression. lienry Ansley In Amarlllo Cllobo-Nows. Other Papers Say: i l.i ki: tiii; i!:rut:sstoN I llko tho depression. No more prosperity for mo. I have hnd more fun since the de pression started than I over had hi mv life; I had forgotten how to live, what It meant to havo rea. frlomU. what It was like to eat common every, day food. Pact Is, I was getting Jutit a littlo high-hat. Threo yoars ago. only ono man of tho Ncws-Olobo organisation could he out of town at a tlmo. Ho had to leave at the last minute and get back its noon as possible. Many times I have driven 100 miles to a banquet, sat through threo hours of bunk In order to make a li minute speech, then driven tho hx iuIUm back so as to be rtmdy for work the next morn ing. I llko tho depression. I have time to 'visit my friends, to make new oncw Two years no when 1 went to n neighboring town, I always stayed at a hotel. Now. I go home with my friends, stay all night and enjoy home-cooking. I haw even spent the weekend with some of the boys who havo been kind enough to lnvlle me. It's great to drop Into a store and feel that you can spend an hour or two or threo or a half day Just visit ing tutd not fool that you ar wasting valuable time. I llko the dt pre-.alou. I am getting acquainted with my neighbors. In the last six months I have becomo acquainted with folks who havo been living next door to me for three years. I am following the Biblical admonition, "Lovo your neighbors." Ono of my neighbors has Clark Wood : Says There's no money In writing books." says a man who writes them, although we thought they were al ways bound to sell. At all events. International Under standing has reached a point where It Is clear to Europe that we ought to cuut'cl her debts .and, to lis that tiuropo ought to disarm. Chats With : t Parents . , . MAdIO THINKING J By..AUce fhidson Vealo, , A 2-year-old i boy blows... mighty breaths at the sky to "blow-down the airplane," ho explains, or to "put out tne moon.'"' Ho blows at street lights for the same reason and at dogs to blow them away. The fact that his efforts never meet with the slightest success In no way disturbs him. He blows lustily and with overy evidence of being pleased with himself., It Is characteristic of all primitive thinking, whether among savages or among children, to believe In the pow. cr of wishes, tho omnipotence of thoughts, In the efficacy of an bb vlously Ineffectual act. Indeed, among certain primitive people when a man sickens and dies It is thought that his death Is caused by tho, magic or merely"by-theMfl wishes of aii enemy: " -J.l Ghllclrpu, itheh,- bcHevBi thot their wliihcs have pover. ' This belief ex plain-. the fact that they labor un,der an bnormous burden of guilt1 when some evil wish of theirs materializes. In a moment of race ono mav rtlsh someone dead."'

' ' ,1' r This J, of course', tho kind of thing too dreadful to admit even to oneself. One tries to wipe It out by being ex tra good. Much of tho guilty feeling which people carry all through life has' no other basis than this early belief In the magic .ofan "evil vitsh. . fyv : Health :! HAD lUiUAVIOIt AM) HKAl.TII . Tho problem of tho physical basis of bad behavior Involves tho age-old question or the Interrelation, of body and mind. , Wc havo accumulated a wealth of scientific material showing that phy sical disabilities may result from 1m proixir working of tho nervous sys tem, and as many scientific data demonstrating tho affect of physical disability on tile performances of the nervous system. . i , t It 'has been well established that malnutrition, anemia; chronic Infec tions, including tuberculosis, defec tive vision, bad hearing, wrong pos- turo, diseased tonsils, enlnritcd ade noids, and other obstructions of the respiratory tract may Influence Ad versely the behavior of tho child. Children suffering from these dis abilities may prove rebellious, irri table, uncooperative, listless, shy, day dreamers, incapable of concentration and of sustained attention. Tho ontlro list of undesirable be havior patterns can. to some extent at least, be traced to such physical disabilities as arc mentioned above. Oti tho other hand, most of the chil dren studied In behavior clinics are found to bo free of gross physical defects. Certain conditions, however, have been found extremely common, name, ly. the evidences or chronic fatigue, and what in adults would certainly bo described as hypcrthyrold anxloty 'stntes. Excessive fatigue Is commonly the result of bad environmental factors. It Is well rocognlsvd that the ner vous syutem of tho young person re quires disciplining. Tho tendency, of tho young is to react to stimuli and to stimulating situations with an ex cessive output of energy. Added rest, regular hours of sleep. quiet and proper ventilation of the bedroom may In many Instances suf fice to build up the youncsteri on er fly reserve, hnd thereby substantial. ly Improve his behavior. A gratifying prospect from tho pub. lie's ntaudiioliit Is that If the cam paign fund are "short" tho cam paign will bo.
