The distinction bet^ efen, worry and fcaution is of fundamentalimportance in keeping • Rental poise and balance. What-are the things people ^orry about? For the most part they are the things that never happen; the circumstances which could arise; the uncertain elements which make up routine living; the things which, have happened to some one else. It would be an illuminating experience if all the readers of this article would make a list of the things "they have worried about during the last 4»ve years, then check the events which have really happened. We venture the guess that nine out Of ten items would regain unchecked. Fear causes worry. It poisons the psychic centers. It makes our horizons cloudy and hazy. Fear dims enr mental vision and anesthetizes nervous energy. Many children are afraid of the dark. Childish and silly, we say. Yet, aren't we all? The darkness of the future which has not yet arrived overwhelms us. Analyze fear when it first makes its attack. Stop manufacturing imaginary trouble. Fear is not intelligent. Cease being influenced by ghost stories. Be cautious, but shun, worry. Crises come into every life. Important situations demand definite decisions. Defeat and victory both depend upon our reserve purposes -and less centered upon life's perplexities. If we heed courageously each day, the future will not matter. If we are more concerned with what we can give to the future than what we can get out of the present, we shall avoid many pitfalls of worry. If we keep our mental balance, we Shall be able to meet issues clearly and properly evaluate future ^events. If we keep faith with ourselves by living courageously as we think of courage, we shall be using knowledge and not dissipating it. Don't make worry an "escape for reality;" make caution an effectual clement in each day's work.

POTPOURRI Causes of Earthqatkes Earthquakes are believed to result from a number of different causes, but the principal one is considered to be faulting or the slipping of one great body of rock upon another in the earth's crust or outer layer. The usual points of origin for such changes are estimated to be from 10 to 20 miles below the surface. Some result from violent explosions accompanying volcanic eruptions, others from the falling in of subterranean caverns, landslides and various slumpings on the outer faces of the continental platforms under the sea. Great earthquakes are most numerous in volcanic regions and particularly near the mountainous edges of continents, bordering on the ocean. The most rapid earthquake waves travel 300 miles a minute and they are usually a small fraction of an inch in width. Waves with an up and down motion of half an inch or of an inch to and fro, are destructive.

The Word "Starboard" The word "starboard" appears to have come down from the earliest Anglo-Saxons, who called that side of their Viking ships from which the steering oar protruded the "steorboard," which became corrupted to "starboard" or even the "sta'b'd" of the tar. Naturally enough, according to a writer in the Chicago Tribune, the opposite of the ship, which was brought in contact with the jetty or wharf when loading for fear of breaking the steor or rudder, became the lading board, laddebord, or larboard, later changed to port because of the danger of confusing larboard and starboard when hearing was difficult during a storm.

Meaning of Inferiority Complex By inferiority complex is meailt a group of feelings based on a sense of one's inferiority or inability to meet certain situations. An inferiority complex may show itself in many ways. A child may drive himself to success in another field in order to prove his superiority or he may show his inferiority complex by bullying smaller children. The best way to help the victim of such a complex is to aid him in achieving real success in line with his best talents and developing him into a person who is socially acceptable and who Bucklin and Stevens have completed the enlargement of their store, ind Ik • e npw one of the best arranged and lt umiest establishments in the county.
