Under the wide and spreading- sky there is room for much happiness. You don't need great wealth, and you don't need to fasten all your hopes for happiness on a short vaca tion. Whether you live in the city, with all its modern means of tempering- the climate to your needs, or in the country where the good earth responds so beauti fully to your touch there is much to do, pleasantly and happily. But there is art in enjoyment. You should dress properly for each occasion. You should have within easy reach the things that make hospitality inviting and gracious. You should have the means of refresh ing and beautifying your person and improving- your sense of well-being. You should be comfortable. It is not so hard to do all this.. It is not accomplished in one frenzied and expensive effort. Comforts should grow about your home, as flower and fruits blossom and ripen. Read the advertisements, and acquire the things you need from what you learn there. Fresh light sum mer wear. Foods and beverages that keep crisp and cool in modern refrigerators. Gas and electricity that cook and brighten without heating your rooms. Elec tric fans, perhaps. Soaps, cosmetics, and heaps of fresh towels for frequent showers. And read in the advertisements where to go and what to do in order to make Summer the golden season of your lTfe. Bowen, 440 Ace, "Changes Gears" For Olympic Try ERIE. Pa" Fleet-footed Pete Bowen Intends to "take the 1938 Olympics in. jBtr.de" a different stride, however, from the one which carried him to many victoria in the sprints and quarter-mile for the Uni versity of Pittsburgh. Pete, one of the nation's bet 440 men two years ago. Intends to make himself over into a long-distance runner between now and the time for trials for the Berlin games. Always a sprinter through a bright scholastic and collegiate career, he's grooming himself now for the mile run or its Olympic counterpart, the 1,500 meters. Bowen's change of heart (or cnange of pace) Ib Inspired largely by ad vancing age nthlete'a age, that is. "I'll be 29 years old when the next Olympics rolls around," he says, "and I want to be entered in the event where I'll hav0 the best chance of making that team." A taste of middle distance work while at Pitt gave Bowen the Idea he might "grow up" into a star at longer yardages. He once ran the 880 in 1 :53 flat in practice, only a l-lO-seconds off the world record. Bowen was national collegiate A.
