"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.

Late
Once Too Often
Such has been the cause of many fail
ures whose stories constitute life's out
, standing tragedies. Many of them no
doubt relied too strongly on the person
al element.
Why take a chance? One of our
alarm clocks represents a small invest
ment and may be worth a fortune.

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.
