PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 12. 1929. RY EW MOWF "The Safe ofPokhttn The Long Silence. Contradictions. Playing the Game. My greatest ambition, at the age of seventy-six, is to be fair, polite, and as little of a nuisance as possi ble to others, to meet my just obli gations to the world, and get out of it with as little annoyance to others as possible. ... I long to oblige my children by being as little trou ble to them as they have been to me, and I have good children. I have a vague ambition to imitate Lycurgus in one respect When he was old and useless, he left a kind and intelligent word to his acquaint ances, and went on a journey. He was never seen again. I have a vague ambition to spend my last and worst day in a distant place. An occasional friendly letter to my children, and then the long silence. ... If my final attendants are honestly able to write to my chil dren I was reasonably patient, and In possession of my faculties, I would consider that an achieve ment; old men not themselves have always been distressing to me. I have long observed that every thing is contradicted. As wise a man as I know will make a state ment to me and another equally wise declares there is nothing in it, and my informant a fool. Anatole France once wrote: "Every false idea is dangerous. Dreamers are thought to be harmless. It is a mistake; they do a great deal of harm. Apparently the most inoffen sive are really Injurious: they tend to make one disgusted with reality." . . . This I thought excellent . On the same page, six lines below the statement quoted, Anatole France wrote: "To know is nothing at all; to imagine is everything. Nothing exists except that which is imagined." ... A direct contradic tion by a wise man. Which state ment does he believe? Probably the first since it is sensible, while the other is foolish. . . . Why does this author contradict himself? Because he is a writer. Having exhausted his own side, he writes pot boilers on the other. . . .Wri ters do this. Sherwood Anderson another author, owns two news papers in the South. In the elec tion one of them supported Mr. Hoover for President, and the other Mr. Smith. Big business Is like big baseball;, players are mainly country town men who have climbed into fast company solely on merit. ... I was once talking of baseball to an old player, who had been given a chance in fast company, and fail ed. He did not exhibit the slight est bitterness because he was com pelled to quit the game, and en gage in law. "In order to be ac cepted in the big leagues," he said, "a man must have everything; I hadn't it" ... In business, as in baseball, the game is played in the country as well as in the big towns and the same rules hold good; most applause and profit for those able to best hit the ball, fiield and display the most intelligence. The stars in the big town are constant ly dropping out because of age; recruits must be had from the country, and always the recruits are selected strictly on accom plishment . . . Any young man who understands the game of base ball and its rules understands the conditions governing success in life. If he fails to play the game as well as he might, let him take his medicine with as good grace as possible. IONE. MRS.

Thin Figure Aided By Careful Choice of Dress The reducing diet and the clothes with slenderizing lines are all passe, according to the dictates of fash ion. With curves mminc hnlr tYia slender women are beginning to take up the burden so eratefullv laid down by their plump sisters, ana me question now is how to be come "pleasingly plump." The real answer, of course, is to eat sufficient quantities of the right Kinas 01 roods. But it takes time to gain weinht. and in the time a little care in selection of clothing will help to give the ap pearance of a rounded form, ac cording to the home economics de partment specialists at Oregon State college. In the first place it is necessary to have plehty of fullness in the clothing, but at the same time hav ing the dresses fit the figure close ly, as clothing which is too loose emphasizes the thinness of the fig ure. Flares are also kind to the slender figure, but straight lines are to be avoided. Accenting the out side lines of the figure, the should ers, sleeves, or hips, with decoration and using lines which go around the figure Instead of up and down are other ways of disguising the "bean pole" look.
