ATTRACTIVE ROAD MARKERS. With continued agitation in many sections against disfiguring advertising signs on public high- ways, there is likely to come about a suggestion that even the essential road signs be made more attractive than they have been in the past. Automobile clubs have busied themselves In recent years placing accurate and neat markers along the main travelled thoroughfares of the country. These signs have been an improvement over the old wood- en signposts, which were too fre- quently allowed to drop into unpie- taresque dilapidation. But there is still room for aslingie. Jrogru. A traveler in ofie of the less im- portant national forests last year was impressed by the attractiveness of the Forest Service signs. They were small, yet clearly lettered for easy reading. In' addition to the neat lettering, every sign bore the diminutive picture of an evergreen tree symbol of the forest service. Those signs detracted as little as possible from the beauty of the foi, ead irre ghee Yet they were aited States ....... { pleasing to the eye.

THIS CRAZY WORLD. Becoming a cynic is as easy as rolling down a hill. All you have to do is to shut your eyes tight to one set of facts and open them wide to another set. Magnify the evil about you énd minimize the good: focus your eyes on the faults and foibles of your neigfikbors; brood often and long on the wrongs done society, not forgetting to regard as hypocrites the great souls who suf- fered in order to make our rugged way a little smoother; imply ulte- rior motives to the poor deluded folks who say they believe in their fellows, and do not fail to exercise yourself daily with the hammer, fit emblem of the chromic knocker. Pursue such a course for weeks and months and you will become an ac- complished cynic, a proficient mis- anthrope, a pessimist of a purple hue. Fully as easy as the road to cy- nicism is the way leading to that "Fool's Paradise" where 'a Polly- anna optimism supplies the rarefied alr and provides the cloudless skies. To shut out jhe drab and sordid facts of life, to ignore the designs and devices of wicked men, to re- fuse to see peril in organized evil is to be "forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air," and to jeopardize the hard-won achieve. ments in the long fight for freedom and justice, the two extremes the ardent optimist or the morbid cynic, mbst of us prefer to act on the conclusions of the latter, though we would rather "winter" with the former. As medicine, optimism is 'the more palatable™ to the taste; cynicism is a masty jose, but more likely to pro ous. a To look the world squarely ia the face, seeing things as they are and taking into account both good and ovil is not easy. Only a few are willing to pay the pride of the men- tal and moral discipline necessary to "see life steadily and see fit whole." No portion of the world is wholly good or wholly bad. Ev- erywhere society is an admixture with right dominant in some poi tions and wrong enthroned in others. To admit this condition is {not to accept it as inevitable or un- changea A "spotty" world Is not a saf§ world, and each genmera- tion is flung a challenge to rid soci- ety of the plague spots which threa- ten its destruction.

By James W. Barton, M.D, REAL HEART SYMPTOMS. It is surprising to find so many indi- [Ji viduals who imagine they have heart |} trouble, Despite the assurance to the con- trary on the part of their family phy- sician, or even a heart specialist, they [J nurse the idea that something is really wrong with their heart, | They feel sure of it because there are times when the heart beats ver) violently, when it seems to "palpitateh as it is called. At other times it will |i beat very rapidly, and seem to slip a |]}i beat. Then there are others who seem |} to faint occasionally, and nothing can persuade them that it is not the heart that is the cause of those fainting Still others have a giddy feeling at times, and the heart is likewise blamed for this. Now what about this palpitation? Most of it is due to indigestion or to nervousness, and the heart itself is just reflecting what is happening "inside. The heart itself is not affected 'except in the rapidity of the beats.. The faint- ing has nothing to do with the heart | J} usually, but is due to emotional dis- [JH turbance, or just physical weakness. The giddiness is due to some liver or ear disturbance, and likewise has noth- ing to do with the heart. A heart spec- {Hi} ialist of high standing puts this matter |} of heart diseases into very simple lan- guage. He states that if you can do the ordinary work of your home, can climb stairs at an ordinary pace; can [Ji walk at a fair rate of speed down the street, without "getting out of breath," then you should not worry about your heart, even if it is polly diseased. So try to remember that one point, and if your. heart seems a bit unsteady at times, you actually faint, or have giddi- ness, don't worry about it; because these things aré mot important from {Hii the heart standpoint. The big question is "Do you get out of breath on slight exertion?" If you don't, then forget about your heart.
