EVERYBODY K N O W S W H E R E W E LIVE

V O U KNOW where you live. Your close neighbors a n d

f r iends know. But, actually, how many people are there In this

county who could drive directly to your home—or who could direct a s t r anger » he could find you? Fre-quently here In a newspaper office someone eays It Is not necessary to put a n address on their ad, and they a d d : "Everyone knows where we live."

The next day a f t e r the ad ap-pears several people will come In to find out how to locate the m a n who "advert ised two cows." All of us a re so well acquainted with our own premises t ha t It does not oc-cur to us that the re are hundreds of o ther people wo never heard of us . . or who have but a vague Idea of where we are located.

Somet imes people In business get the Idea tha t "everybody knows me." They are mis taken. Probab-ly Henry Ford Is about as well known as any Industrialist In this country , but even In the dull per-iods and off seasons Mr. Ford keeps his name before the public. He knows It Is good business . . . In fac t , very necessary. Numerous o ther examples might be cited.

I t Is t rue t ha t sometimes small business places are located nea r large well advert ised business places In the hope of picking off some of the cus tomers tha t the o ther concerns have a t t rac ted to t ha t location or tha t town through advert is ing. I t remains a fact tha t adver t i s ing is a proven method of ge t t ing Informat ion to people re-ga rd ing something they want , someth ing they need, or something which they should know about.

Everybody does N O T know where you live, wha t you have to sell, or any one of a dozen other par t icu la rs which they must know before they buy. The most success-ful business m e n In the country know this . . . and advertise. — Clinton County Republican-News.

W H E N YOUTH W I N S P R I Z E S

V O U N O P E O P L E get a big thrill when they read how some quite

young person has won some high honor or leading business position. T h e y read of fantous musicians h a r d l y more than 21 years old, of a u t h o r s or a r t i s t s who have achiev ed brill iant successes when scarce-ly more than that . The youngs ters look a t their own limited Jobs, and sigh to th ink t ha t for them no such quick success seems possible.

T h e y of ten feel like t ry ing out s o m e grea t adven turous stunt , t ha t shal l daxzle the world and br ing success In a day, a s it came to Col. Lindbergh for Instance, when he performed his grea t flying fea t ac ross the Atlantic.

W h e n young people win some big prize, it a lmost always comes a s the result of extremely thor -ough work. T h a t was t rue of Col. Lindbergh, who w a s so scientific In h i s s tudy of aviation that no de-tail In the management of an air-plane escaped his watchfu l eye.

If you could s tudy the career of the successful young musician or au tho r , it would usually be found t h a t this young person spent pro-longed and wea ry hou r s liT'develop-ing his t a l e n t when his compan-ions were idling or playing. A high pr ice Is almost always paid fo r such successee.

Success comes r a the r slow In bus iness and politics, because it t a k e s such m a t u r e Judgment to hand le organizat ions and organize h u m a n ef for t . The youngster has no end of br ight Ideas, but he m a y fali to realize the objections t h a t m a k e those brill iant conceptions unworkable . Some older m a n will have to tell him f r o m long and pa in fu l experience, t ha t his p lans somehow r u n up against some popular habi t or whim which is ex-t remely diff icul t to overcome. Suc-cess a t an early age is usually due to exceptionally hard and thorough work .

IT CAN B E DONE

•\X7HAT A R E the essentials fo r success in l i fe? Several such

essent ia ls might be mentioned, such as hard work, intelligent s tudy of modern conditions, power to please people, ability to see op-portunit ies .

Much might be said also about the necessity of having fa i th In one's own ability to do things. The re are countless people of In-telligence and capacity who a re living In obscurc positions, and who have never been able t5 ac-complish much. They had excep-tional powers, but they always lacked f a i t h in their own ability. If some opportuni ty came to them to accomplish some large resul t , they Just laid down and said "It can ' t be done". The people who have done impor tant things have had as their motto, " I t can be done".

L E A R N I N G E V E R Y DAT

T ' O M A K E a success on a Job, or in any kind of business, people

mus t expect to be constantly learn-ing. If they have a "know it all" spirit, and think a f t e r a shor t t ime t ha t they know all about a Job or business, they a r e likely to be fail-ures. Of course there a r e rout ine and mechanical Jobs where a per-son can learn the whole th ing in a shor t t ime.

I t Is di f f icul t on any Job requir-ing Insight and intelligence. The more they learn, the more they feel they don't know the whole thing, and have to keep on learn-ing. Such folks become very valu-able. If they work for aomebody else, the boss prizes the i r know-ledge. If they a re in business fo r themselves, people look to them for advice and pay well for their ser-vice.

Crawford Urges People Safeguard Their Liberties

American System Has Not Failed

"The form of government unde r which we have In years prospered as a people and a s a Nation, was so designed as to provide the mechanism for throwing off the yoke of any adminis t ra t ion o r all admin i s t ra t ions which move in a direct ion of abuses and usurpa-tions. the u l t imate a im of which Is despotism," declared Congressman Fred L. Crawford of the eighth district in an addres s at Lowell Rota ry Club on Wednesday noon of this week. Continuing, Mr. Crawford said:

"Any development which oper-a tes against the voluntary action of our people in utilizing such mechanism, s t r ikes a t the very hea r t of democracy. If permi t ted to continue for a n extended time, must necessarily lead to a t rans-format ion or total des t ruct ion of our form of government and In-st i tut ions fo r which we have fought and which we have main-tained for more than 160 years .

"This mechanism to which I re-fe r consists of a privilege g ran ted to the people to go to the polls every two years and without co-erclan or pressure elect the en t i re membership of the House of Rep-resentat ives. every 4 years elect a Pres ident and once every six years completely change the member-ship of the Senate . Our method of revolt is to come through the bal-lot box.

"No man can dig deep Into the price that was paid In the creat ion of our Consti tution and not real-ize our whole system of govern-ment was crea ted to listen to the hear tbea t s of human i ty in Its most lowly surroundings. Compare the economic and social s ta tus of our people with those of o ther lands. Review the march of the world's a r m y of uplif t and then notice our position. Democracy and our sys-tem of government has not failed.

"We know full well tb^re a re those who would literally destroy God-fear ing America—and I claim we are still God-fearing. W e know the re are those who would reduce popular government to a shamtSles. Loose law making , rules a n d regu-lat ions tha t Impinge on the liber-ties of the poor man. the average man and all citizens, are but fu r -rows thrown up to catch the sub-versive weeds and this t les tha t breed revolutions and despotism and take away f rom the people their l iberty and f reedom.

"If the people are to hold their duly chosen representat ives re-sponsible, t hen they should insist t ha t every member of the House

and Senate live up to the responsi-bilities of the office. The House and Senate should control the amount of appropriat ions, m a k e the alloca-tions and determine the amount of revenue necessary to meet the obligation incurred. Under no con-sideration should those powers be delegated to the Chief Executive because under the provisions of the Consti tution the House and Senate members a re responsible."

Congressman Crawford was In-troduced by Lee E. Lampkln, pro-gram cha i rman fo r the day. Secre-tary F. F .

Electric Fence Gaining in Usage

Electr ic fence is covering ground at a shocking ra te in Michigan. If a pre l iminary survey by members of the agr icul tura l engineer ing de-pa r tmen t a t Michigan Sta te Col-lege Is an Indication.

One m a n u f a c t u r e r alone sold nearly 5.000 electric fence Installa-tions in 1937 in the s tate .

With this new type enclosure that faci l i ta tes use of pas tu re tha t otherwise might go to waste or be used inefficiently. D. G. Eblnger , rura l electrif ication specialist at the college, sees several precau-tions which f a r m e r s can utilize.

Weeds, brush or o ther green growth touching the electrified wire can cause shor t cirucuits Mowing or removing this growth once or twice a season is recom-mended.

Many have used old pieces of inner tube or rubber hose for in-sula t ing the wire. Wea the r con-ditions cause this rubber to check and crack. W h e n wa te r enters , more short cirucuits result . Porce-lain Insulators should be used, says Eblnger .

In confining stock fo r the f : r s t t ime within an electric fence the ad jacen t green growth should not be too enticing. Gentle t ra in ing to give the livestock respect fo r the wire is best. A few gentle n ips on the nose a re needed fo r an imals to learn the lesson of the charged wire. Extremely dry wea the r may mean tha t an increased voltage Is necessary, or a two wire circuit.

Marihuana it- more commonly known in th i s section by the name of hemp, and many persons have been surprised in learning tha t the hemp on their f a rms and yards was nothing more nor less than

: mar ihuana . I t is the smoking of jthe green leaf of this plant tha t | workd destruction to its users as it ' • tea ls away the brain and makes ] killers in many cases of persons l who a re foolish enough to use it. Knowing this no one but a fool would smoke it.

When recent ar t ic les were pub-lished on this dangerous plant, a few persons contended that to say so much about it would result in young people recognizing this weed and "give it a try". The Har t fo rd Day Spring fully expressed our sent iments in the following para-graphs clipped from i ts editorial columns:

"Penona l ly , this wr i te r be-lieves tha t publicity—the more pitiless the better—will go fa r to abolish mar ihuana . A vicious t r a f f i c of that sort thrives upon secrecy, and its t r a f f i cke r s fea r the spotlight. Tha t is the view of Michigan police chiefs who re-leased the mar ihuana informa-tion. Incidentally, they. too. have been criticized by citizene who believe tha t news of such mat-ters should be suppressed.

"The one deserved crit icism is tha t exposure of the na ture and danger of m a r i h u a n a w a s delay-ed too long. Fac t s gathered by the police indicate that many a boy and girl has fallen victim to the "dope" cigaret te habit who might have been saved had the public been enlightened through publicity when the vicious " rack-et" f i rs t began to rear Its ugly head.

"Noth ing is gained by suppres-sing news of a conscienceless t r a f f i c tha t operates under cover and ensna res the Innocent and the uninformed."

Speaking fu r t he r on this sub-ject a Ledger reader wri tes :

"The use of this horrible drug weed must be stopped for It p rompts the users to commit un-speakable atrocit ies while under its deadly Influence. Some of the most ghast ly suicides, murders , robberies and hold-ups have been perpet ra ted by people who have been crazed by the use of this plant as a narcotic.

"The exterminat ion of a plant which is being used with such re-sults to the Individual victim, the home and the public in general must be carr ied on swiftly and re-lentlessly by the off icers of our country and the men and women of each and every community . But the pursuit must be carried on with utmost honesty and I rank-ness. The absolute t ru th about this plant referred to as mar ihuana must be iven the citizens who are to help in its exterminat ion."

Gloves are one of the most im-portant fashion accessories this season becausc they are chosen to match bags and shoes. And since the bags and shoes of 1938 are often gay and colorful the glovca perforce follow suit.

Keep your gloves immacuiato with frequent washings. Of coutse you must be sure that the mateiiai is washable before you attempt to clean them in soap and water, but gloves that are stamped "wash-able" by the manufacturer can bo kept fresh and soft with careful washing. Most washable gloves should be washed on the hands. Use lukewarm water and a mild soap to make a heavy suds. Rub J the badly soiled spots with a soft i brush. Peel off from the hands. ; turning gloves inside-out to wash the inside. Then rinse through two clear waters the same temper-ature as the soapy water, always squeezing instead of wringing to force out the water.

Roll up in a bath towel to re-move excess water. Knead to work out moisture. Take out of towel, straighten out fingers and blow In-to glove. Pin by the wrists on a line in a warm, shady and airy place to dry.

Lucy M. Maltby has written a cook book "It's Fun to Cook" that will help many a mother to solve the vacation problem for 'teen age daughters. The book is written in story form and any girl who reads

, it will feel the urge to try the recipes. Practical suggestions and warnings scattered throughout the text forestall mistakes on the part of Inexperienced cooks. While Miss Maltby wrote the book primarily for young girls, a bride will find the book "an ever present help."

There Is nothing childish about the contents which covers a wide range of subjects from recipes and menus to Calories and diets. Illus-trations and diagrams add much to the Interest and value of the subject matter. The whole thing is very usable and worthwhile. A mother can feel perfectly oafe In turning her daughter loose in the kitchen if "It's Fun to Cook" is part of the equipment.

She is the second woman to hold office as minister in our country. In Sweden the working women help with the money, earning by knit-ting and doing several of the other home arts and industries. Wealth-ier women take an interest in the schools, the commission on home work, the cooperatives and the pol-itical life of the country.

DUODENAL ULCERS

Mr. L. S. desires to know (1) proper diet for duodenal ulcer, (2) length of time he must remain on this diet and (3) whether smoking is harmful.

What foods may be considered appropriate and beneficial while the ulcer is in an active state will, doubtless, be listed by the patient's physician with due regard for his individual case. After healing of the lesion has taken place, the diet will consist of the softer foods, cooked vegetables, fruits and easily digested meats and cereals. The patient with "stomach trouble" would do well to take his dally ration In six, rather than In the usual three or four meals.

It Is difficult to set any limit as to the period when the modified ulcer diet may be discarded. In-deed, If the patient resolved to re-main upon It for the rest of his life, he might well avoid recur-rences of his trouble and, because of the relatively wide range of foods which can safely be per-mitted. he would run no risk of malnutrition.

Milk is an excellent food for the ulcer patient and a taste for It should be cultivated. Some physi-cians Instruct their cases to set their alarm clocks for some hour during the night and to take a glass of milk at that time, thus avoiding an accumulation of acid in the stomach during the longer period without food.

The pain of an active ulcer may be f« icved almost Immediately if food I? taken and a snack in time may prevent a month or more of seriouti illness. Apparently, food not only neutralizes and dilutes the acid in the stomach but also protects the stomach lining.

During active treatment of an ulcer, smoking is usually forbid-den. After three or four months, if the x-ray indicates satisfactory healing, the doctor may again per-mit indulgence in tobacco provid-ed it is not carried to excess. But there can be no question that total abstinence fom the weed Is advisable for the stomach suffer-er, indeed, it is for all of us.

Mr. L. S. may bo reminded that avoidance of mental stress is quite as important as avoidance of irri-tating foods and tobacco. The over-scrupulous, over-meticulous in-dividual is most susceptible to the disease. Occasional vacations, the introduction of slight variations In one's work or environment, the cultivation of hobbies and the ad-herence to a philosophy which councils against worry or fear all constitute good therapy for the ulcer sufferer.

IT HAS been a natural evolution from the form of trial employed

by the Romans whereby a man ••vas tried before a judge and a body of judices. In its present form, the jury consists of the minimum amount allowed by law—12. There could be as high as 20.x By the Constitution of the United States all criminal cases have a right to trial by jury; also all civil suits where the money in question amounts to $20 or more.

Ledger Entries COST OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS

A UTOMOBILE accidents a r e costing about 40.000 lives an-

nually now, with 1,000,000 people more or less Injured. The property damage is estimated at around $800,000,000 yearly. When you add hospital care, doctors' and nurses' bills, and lost time, the total cost has been estimated at $1,200,000,000. It is doubtful If this figure would cover the financial losses to the people which come through the death of many victims.

All these figures of course look only at the money side of these de-plorable tragedies. The sorrow that comes Into the lives of the families stricken by fatal accident is some-thing that can not be measured In any terms of money. The 40.000 families who are thus afflicted each year will carry all their lives the burden of personal loss, for which no money can compensate.

Automobile accidents have some-thing to do with the sufferings of many people from poverty and dis-tress. When the family's breadwin-ner or homekeeper or the child Is killed or laid up with Injuries, the average family has to draw on Its savings to pay the accident and other bills. Probably many families who have been on.relief had sav-ings on which they could have drawn, had It not been for the losses and expense caused by traf-fic accidents.

If the American people want to produce universal welfare, they should Ineist that measures be ta-ken that will adequately deal with these misfortunes. Our people can not afford Indefinitely to go on suffering losses of a bullion or more yearly, because cars get smashed up and their occupants Injured. Human sympathy, the de-sire to avoid bringing sorrow and pain Into anybody's life, should be enough to persuade people to drive carefully and avoid acci-dents.

The money losses must also be considered, as examples of the needless errors by which so many people spoil their chances for pro-gress and prosperity.

HUMAN experience in mnnj cases seems to consist n an endless struggle foi

emancipation from various fornu of oppression, physical or finan-cial, moral or social. Is this,not because freedom is too often sought only for the furtherance of worldly pursuits and the indul-gence of fleshly comforts? Not that physical well-being Is repre-hensible, for "sufficiency in all things" (II Coronthlana 9:8) is desirable as a result of under-standing God's loving care for His creation.

But dependence upon material means and humanly evolved sys-tems for welfare and happiness, instead of dependence upon the spiritual completeness of man in God's Image, constitutes bondage. On page 251 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip-tures" Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Inharmonious beliefs, which rob Mind, calling it matter, and deify their own notions. Imprison them-selves in what they create." The question is therefore one of free-dom fer something rather than merely freedom from something. Freedom for what? Freedom for gain of the highest order, by means of an Intelligent under-standing of God, or divine Prin-c iple

Surely the following verse, the import of which Is reiterated throughout the Scriptural narra-tive of the children of Israel, furnishes the secret of their de-liverance: "And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus salth the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me" (Exodus 8:1) . The purpose of freedom Is that one may serve God.

What, then, Is the significance of the words, " that they may serve me"? To determine this aright it is first of all necessary to understand the nature of Deity and man's relationship to Him.

Freedom from whatever Is false and discordant Is to be won by continual resort to the fact of man's perfection as God's Image, and by ordering one's dally llfr

accordingly. "The admission to one's self that man Is God's own likeness sets man free to master the infinite Idea" (Science and Health, p. 90).

The nature of this "infinite idea" is best discerned in the character and career of Christ Jesus. His understanding of God gave him dominion over supply, so-called laws of health, gravita-tion, and so on. His understand-ing freed him from every sugges-tion of lack and from the mesi.ier-Ism of death and the grave, and also enabled him to free others. In the wilderness he resisted the temptation to Indulge personal .'.e-sires and material power; for he knew and demonstrated that one Is assured of freedom In propor-tion to his meek obedience to the demands of God, revealed in Christian Science as divine Prin-ciple.

Just as the planets are not free to follow an erratic course through space, but manifest beau-ty and' harmony each In Its own orbit, so man reflects the harmony of being through fulfilling the purposes of divine Principle. Just as an attempt to open a locked drawer with the wrong key Is un-successful, so any self-willed ef-fort on the part of a human being to consummate something not in line with Principle necessarily In-duces failure and frustration, since it constitutes disobedience.

Nevertheless, divine Principle is still available in whatever circum-stances one may find himself, whether apparently of his own or another 's procuring. Sang the Psalmist (139:8) , "If I ascend up Into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed In bell, behold, thou art there." An obedient, recep-tive mental attitude brings one's thoughts and one's aTfalrs under the beneficent control of God's harmonious and dynamic law and thus opens the way to freedom.

However one Is situated one can at once begin to think Intelli-gently, truly, and lovingly by re-flecting God, perfect Mind, and there are few conditions where one Is not In some measure free to exercise the qualities of grati-tude, kindness, honesty, wisdom, and Justice, which characterize the t rue man. . . . —The OAris* Hon firTicj Monitor.

A thing so horrible . . . so unthinkable . . . can't happen to you!

Thus you reason and perish the thought f rom your mind. But

mothers and fathers are told nearly every day, "Your child was kill-

you or anyone else If you and every one else obey traff ic laws and

regulations. Merely expressing your Intentions of driving carefully

Is not enough. You've got to learn the laws If you don't know them.

You've got to think . . . you've got to keep your mind alert . . .

you've got to keep your ears and eyes open to avoid disaster. Above

all . . . you've got to drive carefully!

OW don't start bewitching ^ me." warned Jerry Wood. "I

don't believe in love at first sight, you know."

Chloc Carter's eyes, blue as the Florida sky, twinkled understand-ingly and her generous young mouth smiled.

"Neither do I," she agreed. But she liked the twisting charm of his smile, the mischievous gleam in his grey eyes and his smooth black hair.

"And marriage," proclaimed Jer-ry loftily, "is the grave of ambi-tion."

"Don't I know i t?" questioned Chloc, whose dancing feet had car-ried her into a recent Broadway success and who was now resting up for an even greater role in Holly-wood. "Brilliant young playwright and dancer dub marriage a men-ace," she headlined. And grinned.

All this happened the first time they m e t

They began with a spin down Biscayne Bay in a sea sled. And during the days that followed they tried the autoglro, surf-bathing, and splashing and sun loafing at the hotel pool.

And then Chloe's mother, discov ering Jerry, delivered warnings and admonitions. And the newspa-pers began publishing reports about the lovely Miss Chloe Carter and the brilliant Mr. Jerome Wood and speculating as to a possible love affair between them.

Mr. Jerome Wood stayed away from Chloe all the next day.

The following morning the papers proclaimed: "Mr. Wood and I are great friends," says Miss Carter, "but I shall never marry. I have my career to think of."

Mr. Jerome Wood drew a deep breath of relief and made all pos-sible haste to resume friendly re lations with Chloe. The jolly times were resumed.

One night they danced for a long time. And then they wandered out through the hotel gardens and sat in the moonlight. Quite suddenly and unexpectedly they were in each other's arms.

After long minutes of silence, "I guess,", mused Chloe glumly, "this vacation has made me forget things a little."

"Yes," agreed Jer ry quickly, "that 's it, of course. It 's the cli mate, doggone it. I'll hit it oft for the Anglers' club tomorrow. I'll get one of those six hundred pound fish you hear about and have it mounted. You can take it to Hollywood with you—to remind you of another big fish."

Chloe and Jessie Carter went to Hollywood and Chloe began dancing In earnest with Noel Fane who was to be her partner in her first pic ture. The newspapers woke up and remarked that the glorious Miss Carter seemed more interested in Mr. Fane than seemed necessary for the success of the picture and the studio pubUcity department took sentimental pictures of Chloe and Noel and spread them everywhere.

The Florida newspapers published a photograph of Mr. Jerome Wood and a Miss Suzan Selden on some body's yacht And Jerry was smil ing.

One night Chloe's telephone rang. She reached for it listlessly. "Hel lo," she moaned.

"Hello." said Jerry. "Oh," gasped Chloe. "Did you get

that fish?" "No fish," lamented Jerry. "Just

chowder parties and tournaments and drinks. Chloe—there isn't much propinquity about a telephone."

"Why. no," agreed Chloe, aston ished. "There i s n ' t "

"Suppose I come out and talk it over."

"Oh," cried Chloe. "do!" He came by plane. "What about

this Noel Fane?" he demanded ab-ruptly. "Chloe. teU me."

Chloe's laughter was lightly tinged with scorn. "Newspaper stories." she scoffed. "You know how they are ."

"Do I ? " cried Jerry. "Chloe, did you see that grinning one of Suzann and m e ? "

"Yes." nodded Chloe, with a bright little Ught in the blue of her eyes. "I saw i t "

"That 's what 1 thought" said Jer-ry. Chloe, honey, I don't believe in love at first sight, and marriage Is the grave of ambition, and I've got to do a new play and when I do a play I 'm impossible. I growl and snap at people. Sometimes I shout. But somehow right now I can't think of anything but you. I can't write a single word!"

"I know," nodded Chloe. "I 've vowed I'd never marry but I 'm mad about you, Jer ry . So what?"

"So we'll get married," decided Jer ry suddenly. "I'll shut myself in a cave when I write and only come out when I smile. Chloe. what do you say?"

"Yes," murmured Chloe happily, "even if I have to make you my career!"

Michigan Mirror By GENE ALLEMAN

Michigan Press Association

Apprec ia t ing the Grea tness of Michigan

"Modern Michigan" are two words with power.

They portray a word picture of the first impression received by thousands of outstate visitors.

The uniform newness of state highways, to take one example, is in sharp contrast with the obsolete condition of much of the roadways in eastern states. It is a consistent pleasure to drive your car in Mich-igan.

Michigan citiee are young for the most part. It is difficult to find an old building in Detroit because of the city's rapid growth. Flint, the industrial boom town, is astonish-ingly new. and as you might expect the schools ara among the finest in the state.

Michigan population expanded 32 per cent in the 1020-1930 decade, and that means thousands of new homes, new stores, new churches. Compared with most other mid-west states. Michigan merits the word "Modern".

Diversified Second impressions of Michigan

follow a more extended travel throughout the state.

If a poll could be taken to ascer-tain the "second impressions" of our tourist millions. It is likely that the result would be another two-word picture: "Diversified Mich-igan".

In agriculture otlr diversified crops are well known.. In southern counties you will find the conven-tional fields of corn, wheat, and oats. Then you come to the beet sugar belt, huge orchards of frui t trees, acres of beans and berries, and long endless rows of onions and mint. Dairying heads the list In production income. Michigan but-ter may not be well advertised, but it is unexcelled any place in the Mid-West.

Because of its varied agriculture, Michigan rarely has a farm de-pression.

Industries The upper peninsula for years

has depended on the mining of copper and iron. Even today its lumber industry is important.

Mining of salt Is a prominent in-dustry* at Manistee.

Salt brine, an unusual natural resource, is pumped out of the ground at Midland by the Dow Chemical Company to sustain a booming modern city amid rather desolate surroundings.

Mount Pleasant and Gladwin have been made prosperous Ini re-cent years because of oil and gas.

And if you don't mind the soot and smoke, you can buy Michigan coal!

For natural resources, Michigan offers copper, iron, salt, oil, gas and coal. Surely this merits the description "diversified."

Recreation Michigan offers diversified rec-

reation. If you prefer mountains, you can

see them on the shores of Lake Superior.

If you want deep sea fishing, you dan derive at the thrills right a t Traverse City or Petoskey. A few weeks ago Jake Galinsky of

Petoskey landed a 32-pound Macki-naw trout on deep trolling tackle off Good Hart . The 32-poundor equals last season's fish taken by Dave Ramsby and Ralph Meyers.

If you want sand beaches for bathing. Michigan offers literally hundreds of miles of the finest beaches in the nation.

If you want lakes, the state possesses 5,000 of 'em—all sizes and shapes.

If you enjoy sail boating, cruis-ing. surf riding or any of the sports of the sea shore, Michigan has provided endless variety.

More fishing licenses are issued In the state than In any other state. Our hunting fame is familiar to all.

Scenic Straits

Several weeks ago we were crossing the Straits of Mackinaw in a speed boat, bound for Mack-inaw City.

In the speed boat were two elderly couples, both from Kalama-zoo. They had never seen the Straits before, although they had lived in Michigan for many years. One man enthused "Last winter my wife and I spent several weeks at Bermuda. We paid $22 a day, American plan, at a hotel. Other charges were proportionately high. At the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island we enjoyed a better time, and spent less to get i t Except possibly for the color of the sea at Bermuda, Mackinac Island offers the equal of scenery and climate, and the surprising thing to me Is that all this has been here, all the time, right in Michigan and wo didn't appreciate it."

For smart sophisticated atmo-sphere, including night club enter-tainment, Stewart Wood fill's Grand Hotel Is "tops" in Michigan resort country. Contrasting with Ber-muda's $22 a day rate, the Grand Hotel begins at $7 (American plan).

Truly, Mackinac Island Is a world of its own, set amid a rare setting between the two penin-sulas of Michigan.

Lakes and Streams

For the thousands who enjoy fly casting for trout in a picturesque, pine tree banked stream or who prefer to troll for stealheads, wall eyes and bass, or use an old-fashioned pole for bluegllls and perch. Michigan has hundreds of streams and Inland lakes that are kept carefully stocked by the state conservation department.

The recreation Industry Is sec-ond in Michigan.

Again, it offers diversified ap-peals to fit the purse, taste and the moment's mood.

Michigan Is the only state where Industry and recreation are equal-ly Important. The world's largest Industrial plant Is located on the River Rouge in Wayne County. Our tourist income exceeds Cali-fornia or Florida.

Truly, It Is an air-conditioned vacation land, producing a stimu-lating and healthful climate that contributes to Industrial efficiency In winter and to outdoor enjoyment In summer.

Dodging the Drops The two men had escaped from

an asylum and had managed to steal a plane from a nearby airport. Up in the plane at fifteen thousand feet one of the men grew fidgety.

"I think I'm going to jump out of the plane." he told his com-panion. "I feel I can't stand it here any longer."

"Better take a parachute with you," advised the other.

"What do I want with a para-chute?"

The other wagged a finger. "Don't be silly," he cautioned. "Can't you see it's raining?"—Tit-

Bits Magazine.

Sportswoman Jones' wife had been unusually

silent during the concert, but it was obvious something was puzzling her.

"By the way." she said, when a piece came to an end, "what's that book the conductor keeps looking at?"

"That's the score of the over-ture," he replied.

"Oh," she exclaimed, "who's win-ning?"

weight boxer walked into the artist 's studio.

"Say," he said, "I'd like you to paint a full-length picture of me on canvas."

Emisfaries of Japan seeking credit In this country and In Great Britain definitely have been cold shouldered. Credits were sought ostensibly for the develop-ment of industry In Manchukuo. rather t h j n for war purposes.

At least one member of th? Cabinet has fought to discover what the President's attitude would be In case a Cabinet mem-ber started to build an organiza-tion preparatory to entering the Presidential preference primaries two years from now. What he found out, If anything, remains a secret.

Officials privately say that so long as the United States refuses to expand its immigrant quotas from dictator nations, the results of t h e refugee conference at Evian, France. Initiated by this country, probably will amount to little else than a wordy Indict-ment of nations whose policies toward racial minorities created the problem.

A maker of safety belts for air-plane passengers predicts that they will be standard equipment on many new cars within the next five years. Theory Is that the belts will keep motorists from sailing through the top or windshield. In event of collisions. How about safety belts on armchairs to keep careless drivers at home—and not sailing along the highways Invit-ing collisions?

Indirect night lighting by the use of powerful reflectors. Intro-duced for the f i r s t time In Michigan, Is apparently effective in reducing accidents. The first check on the effectiveness of the US-16 reflector Installation be-tween Lansing and Detroit showed this week a 79 per cent reduction In night accidents covering the three-month period In which the "lights" have been In operation.

Two horses were tagged with parking tickets In Beckley, W. Va., because their owners failed to drop any nickels In the parking meter when they left their mounts outside of the court house. The owners refused to pay parking fines for their steeds, arguing that they were not subject to parking meter laws. We've heard of fines for parking too near a plug but this Is the first time we've heard of a plug being fined for parking.

Winter may seem a long time off but already we have word that winter driving Is going to be safer. A correspondent writes us regard-ing a new gadget, attachable to tires, which will make driving, even on glassy streets, a pleasure. Furthermore, he assures us, it will be possible for the motorist to seek out a frozen river and make figure eights on the ice without skidding. We wouldn't want to try-any figure S's. Staying on the road In winter Is all we ask.

Headlight glare should be no headache to wearers of a new type of shatter-proof driving glasses In-troduced lately.

When a car approaches, the wear-er simply tilts his head slightly downward and the shaded portion of the glass Intercepts the glare. After passing he raises his head to a normal position and watches the road through the clear glass at the bottom. Specifically designed for night driving, the principle of these glasses Is so simple that we wonder why they did not appear sooner.

CHEAT

A firm of match manufacturers sent a man with authority to hand a pound note to any person who introduced to him a box of their matches.

When he reached Aberdeen, says London Tit-Bits Magazine, ho en-tered the smoke-room of a restau-rant, and. approaching a stranger, said: "Could you oblige me with a match?" I

"Certainly," said the Scot, as he handed the traveler a box of the firm's matches.

"Thank you." said the traveler. "1 see you use our matches. My firm authorizes me to hand a pound note to every man 1 meet who pro-duces one of their boxes—so here's your pound."

"As the traveler turned to leave, the Aberdonian shouted after him: "Hey! Stop! You're awa' wi' my matches!"

She

lovely-evening in her

woman was very in an ivory satin emerald pendants

ears, her dark hair pointing low on her forehead in a pronounced wid-ow's peak.

The man was older. Iron-gray hair freezing to white, but with a young, full mouth and a glint in his woman loving eyes that death alone could dim.

He sat, legs comfortably crossed, in one of the big leather chairs.

The woman paced the heavy Ori-ental rug. snapping, matches brit-tlely in her long, slim fingers. Her evening gown clung, swaying softly at her ankles as she moved.

"He's a nice boy. Lois." Another match snapped in the

woman's fingers. "A darn nice kid," repeated the

man. "And I'll wager he makes you a better husband than I did."

"Please. Conrad, not so loud!"

The woman paused in her pacing. Her lovely brow was wrinkled anx-iously.

The man slapped his leg delight-edly.

"Surely he knows you've been married before?"

The woman threw the splintered matches into the hungry logs.

"Of course. But he never wanted to know who it was. Said that if he ever found out . . . "

"I know." broke in the man. "II he over found out he'd strangle him with his bare hands."

He felt appraisingly at his straight-columned throat.

"Much as I like to please my guests, being strangled doesn't fit into tonight's mood. Some other time, perhaps."

The woman sat down with a quick movement, hunched over and stared into the fire. Her hands twitched in her lap.

"The same Conrad." she half-mur-mured.

"Come now." pleaded the man. patting one of her hands, "you've always looked at life out of such serious eyes. Lois."

He touched his white-glazed shirt with a light gesture.

"Look at me!" "Precisely what made me look at

life seriously." she replied. "The more I looked at you, the more se-riously life looked back at me."

The man assumed a mock hurt expression.

It 's your own money. Your alimony which lapsed and which was to ter-minate only In the event of your remarrying. I'll tell you—since you're so modest—we'll toss for i t!"

She looked up into his eyes. They were still glinting but more mildly.

"Very well, but there's a trick in it some place."

"You think I'm terribly hard-hearted, don't you?"

"It 's not a case of a hard heart or a soft one. but rather its ab-sence."

He smiled, apparently satisfied.

Teh-Inch Fish of Brazil Held Most Bloodthirsty

When one's mind turns to man-eaters, we naturally think of Hons, tigers, or perhaps the great white shark. We would be unlikely to con-sider fish from eight to ten inches long in this deadly category. How-ever, we do not live In the great Amazon valley of equatorial Bra-zil, where the rivers and streams fairly teem with the most blood-thirsty variety of fish known in any part of the world, writes Arthur IL Fisher In Nature magazine. This is a true man-eater, and at the first sign of blood attacks with an amas-Ing frenzy.

This piscatorial bulldog is the pi-ranha, which abounds in large schools in most of the streams of the Amazon valley. It rarely ex-ceeds ten Inches In length, but what It lacks in size Is made up in sav-agery and numbers, for these schools will attack any warm-blood-ed creature, whether It be a child, a man or a full-grown bullock. Many a poor unfortunate native, caught unawares by these creatures, has been reduced to a skeleton, and those who read Theodore Roose-velt's book. "Through the Brazilian Wilderness." wllj recall that one of

She turned on him fiercely. "You're just angling to have me

say I never loved anyone but you! Why you want to bo the motive for every woman to break up her life, I don't know!"

"Not every woman." The man spoke with such quiet

dignity and seriousness that Lois, married though she had been to him, looked quickly, (was it al-most hopefully?) into his gray eyes. But they wore glinting back, as they always would. She flung herself nway disgustedly.

"Let's join the others." "But I want to discuss that young

cub of yours," he put .in. "I think he's got something. Of course all young Inventors rave and bubble over, but that little gadget with all the wheels Intrigues me. Yes, the lad seems somehow to smattor of real talent. What do you think?"

The woman turned to him. The flre glowed on her face. Her

earrings swung sparkling. "I think you have another little

scheme up your sleeve. And what it is, only his Satanic majesty knows. Please, Conrad—I had no idea when the Millers insisted on dragging me to a magnificent house-party, that I was heading for my former home. And now, let's not discuss Tommy—lot's join the oth-ers."

She started to leave but he pulled her back gently.

A couple was passing so she went submissively.

It would never do to be seen being pulled Into a room by Conrad Dickey.

"You must outgrow this stubborn-ness," Conrad said. "I have no desire to talk about you"—Lois' Ivory cheeks stung under her quick flush—"I want to Inquire Into the career of that inventing husband of yours."

"There's nothing to Inquire Into as yet," she retorted. "Tommy's

lated by these flsh.

The piranha derives Its name from two Tupl Indian words, pira, meaning fish, and anha, meaning tooth. It is well named, for the mouth is equipped with a double row of sharp, sharklike teeth so ar-ranged that the undershot jaw ren-ders them capable of cutting oft a human finger at a single bite.

In the tributaries of the Amazon it is never safe to dangle your hand In the water, for without warning you may lose one or more digits. This very thing happened to the di-rector of the Goeldi museum at Para some years ago, and while I was personally making motion pic-tures of those fish in the Amazon country a native assistant lost most of his thumb while transferring one to an aquarium I had constructed for the purposes of photography.

What Lightning Is Lightning is the spark or flash

caused by the equalization of the po-tential or electric pressure between the clouds or between a cloud and the earth. The same principle, only on a very minor scale, may bo ob-served when one's flnger comes close to a spark plug on a running gas engine, notes a writer In Hoard's Dairyman. Why and how the clouds become charged will not be discussed hero, but we do know that the dlfloronce In electrical pressure between the clouds and the earth Is tremendous, millions of volts at times. We also know that the charge on the cloud, positive perhaps, attracts to it, on the ground below, an opposite or nega-tive charge. If these two opposite charges approach each other close-ly enough they will come together by moans of what we call a light-ning flash. If trees, buildings, chimneys or any other objects are higher than the surrounding ground it is only natural that the lightning will strike them because they are

Scenic Week-end Trips at Low Cost-No. 5 : :e up your mind to take a week-

cnu vacation at one of the many beauty spots in Michigan. Here are suggested three delightful places, at least one of which is not so far from your home, and may be reached by car at little expense.

To calculate the cost of the gasoline and oil you will use, just follow instruc-ti ns given below the map a tdght*

South Haven and Environ#—No. 1 Long popular af a summer play-

ground, this lake shore retort d ty ia now oven more the choice of the week-end vaca-t ion i s t since a large state park has been opened in the near-by dunes. Good fish-ing is found in the inland lakes and streams of Van Buren and Allegan counties near Ban-gor and Allegan. See road map for best route.

Arenac County—No. 2 An appropriate and beautiful place to

stop for a week-end is this picturesque county where Mich. 26 joins U.S. 23 at

the city of Stand-I ish, with its splen-did tourist camps, hotels, and restau-rants. Many fine resorts are located on the near-by shores of Lake Huron, and the Rifle and Au Gres rivers are popular

with trout fishermen.

Livingston County—No. 3 As a mecca for summer visitors, this

area offers many advantages for a week-end outing. The towns of Howell end Brighton are but a few miles from some fifty fine lakes, many of which are well stocked with fish, and where swim-ming and boating are popular sports. The Deerfield Township deer herd is the only one in southern Michigan. Take U.S. 16.
