Strapped to a boom, he was in a position directly over them. Mary and Tom were caught in an almost-perfect1- prison of steel mortar mesh.

Among his clients, f i f t e e n c o m m i t t e d s u i c i d e , t w e n t y went 1 n t o bankruptcy, and an exc e p t i o n a l l y l a r g e number were not vable to pay even a portion of their indebtedness though they had avoided the sheriff's summons. 'This case is typical of experiences which, crossed the path of almost ev^ry i>er«on during the past ; three years. Jn every ciise, however, the sorrow or trouble ps not due1 to the loss of money. Suffering of one kind or another comes to every one. ,;.•••"• ,• " It has been interesting to study,, the reactions of different persons who went through these experiences. .Some, rather old-fashioned in their thinking, actually believfd .tlvat the calamity which came to tlrem was sent as a punishnjent fpr a "Wrong they had com-' mitted." Othepsj who h£d accnstbme<l„ thems^lv^s to live in a w<yld p'f "inakebelieve," reacted in a negative way, denying the* reality of the experience Itself. This attitude gave rise, to what our psychologists call a "wishworld,", the serious dangers of which are frequently emphasized In current periodicals, Still others accepted the storm which struck them with an attitude of self pity and inactive Acquiescence; and stoically met the problem, but to no apparent purpose. The president of one of „ our. western universities writes, "The most disturb-' ing fact of the tifhe is the number of Americans who are falling victim to a defeatist mood, assuming that all progress has come to an end." Another group of . people, not accepting this conclusion as the verdict of history, began to look 'beyond the present moment, and far above the clouds which accompanied the storm. , They frankly, sought the purpose of the whirlwind. They refused fo-accept what appeared to be the yerdiet of fate; and determined to arise and go forward. Refusing to be like "dumb driven cattle" they became "heroes in the strife." A violin string serves no ptfrpose until it Is stretched, almost to a breaking point. It sings when the bow passes over it. On the rack of pain and suffering many a person has been stretched almost to a breaking point. Where this experience served & higher purpose, blessings hitherto. unknown have been the reward.

SAFE FALL DRIVING REQUIRES PLENTY OF TIRE TRACTION It won't be long until most car owners are making preparations for winter driving. Cooler weather in the offr ing and soon blustery snowy day? will be here. * - One of the most important things to check a£ this season is the condition of the tires, in the opinion of Walter Freund, local" dealer for The Goodyear.Tire & Rubber Co. "Tires that have been worn smooth during the summer are a real menace when winter corties," Mr. Freund declared. "If ever--maximum grip on tires is neded, it is when streets are wet and slippery. Inability to stop on a slippery street endangers not enly the car and its driver but innocent bystanders as well. "A series of tests has shown that smooth tires skid 77 per cent farther than do the newv Goodyear Gr-3 All- Weathers, with their wider, flatter tread, and gripping traction in the center of the tread where it belongs. New tires of other makes slide for 1-1 to 10 per cent farther than the new Goodyears. "The new G-3 carries a differen arrangement of the husky, - sha'rpedged blocks whereby it is possible to place 16 per cent more of them in the center of the tread than formerly- These blocks provide maximum safety against skidding. Car owners owe it to themselves as well as others to have this insurance against accidents." trouble money V , ^ •v R*pio Natr\. POOR.
