The creed of our modern materialism seems to be: "Every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost." The spirit of business frankly affirms that if you do not beat the other fellow, he will •beat you. Men struggle to attain a fortune, but it cannot be said that they vicariously suffer for that purpose. Those who themselves took the blame for grave mistakes of another were not outwitted in the struggle for material success, but were voted failures. The old individualism emphasized the justice of the survival of the fittest The weak must go to the wall in order that the strong may survive. The American Beauty rose is an illustration of the process of individualism of the past decade. All the buds are cut so thiat the strength of the plant may be expressed in a single rose. The reaction against this spirit is at present very pronounced. The demand is for a fair and unbiased opportunity for every person in the great life struggle, but vicarious living is competition is evidenced in the world of social values. Those who have endeavored seriously to climb tbe social ladder, and have socially failed in life, know all too well the tragedy of this experience. iV Vicarious living is found only in the' realms of the affections. A man may have so great a love for his Work that he is unconscious of physical needs like hunger or sleep. Often a scientist in research so completely substitutes his passion for truth for his own physical needs that it can be truly said: _ "He his work an expression of Vicarious living." . The highest demonstration of vicarious living is found not in pur- • Wit of truth or in efforts tq realize A personal ambition, but in the simple sacrificial love of a mother for far child. Self and substance are laid upon the altar of that child's life; and no Biere word nor magic fancy can debauch the power of that lpve, nor error check its steady flow. The Spirit of motherhood asks for nothing and gives all. The safety, security, and progress of her child is the sublime stronghold of every true mother's heart. If not at the time, then in after years, children come to understand the meaning of vicarious living when they remember tee deeds of a mother i deeds lighted with the spirit of a life lost in the life of her child: and found again in the orderly on-going of a better life. Love in the realms of the physical demands; love in the realms of the spiritual gives to the Uttermost. We find the color of vicarious living deep in the glow of a mother's heart.

ELOCUARS LAKE about Ohio and contiguous territory The indians called the buckeye "hetuck," meaning, the eye of the buck, because of the striking resemblance of the seed both in color, shape and appearance to the eye of the buck. The other derivation was brought out at the opening of the first court in the Northwest Territory on September 2, 1788, when a rather imposing procession marched to Campus Martius Hall at Marietta.

Towards the end of the century, the increasing need for gasoline brought new processes for recovering that product, and kerosene gradually declined, in importance. • © Western Newspaper Union. day, Aug. 13.

Why Insects Walk Upside Down The feet of an insect that can walk upside down--the fly, for instance-- are slightly sticky. The end of a fly's foot is also made very slightly hollow, so that it will cling to anything it touches by air pressure, like circular pieces of hollowed rubber. A fly is very light in weight, so that the slight trace of stickiness together with the air pressure on its tiny feet, makes it very easy for the creature to walk upside down on the ceiling. Why Eyes Need Care All persons who suffer from eye trouble are, by no means, going blind. But other kinds of eye trouble can be very serious if neglected. Eye trouble may be caused by a defect in the structure of the eye, specialists tell us, or by a disease, of the eye or some other part of the body. Or by a deficiency in the diet, or fay improper use of the eyes.

It does not appear to be caused by distaste for music, because the animal usually sits close to the performer instead of running away.

SELF-TIMERS You can take a picture of th# family plenic and be in it yourself by using a self timsr. spot yon will occupy or you may toe among those missing when the . prints are returned. When the lens aperture Is set at the proper opening with the correct shutter speed, the same as if you were going to snap the picture yourself, set the self timer for the length of time It would take you to get to your place in the group. Slip the self timer over the button at the end of the cable release and press the little release lever on the timer. It starts buzzing away, you rejoin the group and then--click--it has taken the picture and you're in it. You can purchase a self timer attachment from almost any store that sells photographic supplies. They are not expensive and last a lifetime. Some cameras have self timers incorporated in the shutter co®» struction, so if you have this type ol camera and have never used the sell timer you have missed a lot of furi and picture taking opportunities. v John van-Guilder tHB question 1* often asked, "Is there any way that I can take a [snapshot of my friends and include j myself in the picture?" | There certainly is a way and a ialtnple one.
