Your youngest son Is perhaps at this very moment riding on a poker with great delight, not at all regret Ing that It fa not a gold one and much less wishing It an Arabian horse, which he would not know how to manage.

Indi vidual or collective, is not able to fo eus upon more than one thing at a time. The queer thing Is that this huAun mind prefers to focus upon the spectacular rather than upon the lasting. Back In 1866 a lonely Moravian monk discovered the laws of heredity which now stand as the bedrock of the life sciences. No one In 1866 cared to take a look at this discovery, for every one was arguing about some Incidental gossip which grew out of Darwin's "Origin of Species," pub lished In 1859. By 1900 they were tired of the Incidental and rather spectacular gossiping about Darwin. This gave the scientists a chance to ra'bTê' very des I How Lady Mary would have enjoyed a Jig-saw puzzle!

A dear young Hoosler friend sent me the following original verse: GRANDMOTHERS Whene'er I think of grandmothers, 1 think of cherished things; Of creamy delicate old lace, And dear remembered dreams _ 1 think of modest mignonette Dew-drenched at new day's dawn: Of perfumed sweetpea s pastel tints; Of shade upon a lawn. 1 think of Artemisia gray. Like filagree of silver hair, Of Ups that speak of troubled hearts Love's words of wisdom rare; Of fragile Dresden china In A corner cupboard old. Of Eden hours of new-wed love. Too sacred to be told: Of shaded lights on autumn night. And sound of summer rain; Of new born baby's Ups against Mv breast that stings with pain; Of work worn hands, that yet are soft That minister with loving care; Of love that makes e'en drudgery A shining halo wear Oh precious, priceless grandmothers!

Here we are today wrangling about economic questions. Specifically, about dollars and taxes. Such thing« are incidental and more or less spec tacular. We will, of course, keep on with such subjects until some one finds a way to focus our attention on unemployment. The man who suc ceeds in focusing the public attention on this point will be calling us back to something fundamental. There are those who seem to think that dis covery Is soon to be made.—Wash ington Star. Really Big Tiling The great thing In the world Is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect JOY TO BE HAD IN "WORD BOOK n Eighteenth-Century Idea This Modern Age Will Find Worth While. Our language Is a superb Inherit ance, blessed with richer variety of expression and implicit with a more ranging music than mosi other living tongues. It has pith, color and en ergy. Its flexibility and scope are enormous—ns might be expected from a tongue dowered out of the precision and beauty of Greek, the rolling vowel music ot Latin, the northenv'ktrains of Jell. Angle and Suxon. 'Surely, as heirs to this be quesi and ns living contributors to It, we should not be content without ex ploring It To do so would be like emulating the beggar, who, coming Into a fortune, was satisfied with « few worn counters when the gold coin of the realm vas his for the seeking. In a century now long forgotten men and women were accustomed to keep what they described as '•com monplace books''—notebooks Id which one entered any quotations of prose or verse \vhich seemed apposite, wise or endowed with beauty and. felicity of expression. It was a happy Idea Any who desire to discover what «f fect It had upon the mind of flo age might do well to explore a bit Into Eighteenth century letters. A word boob, wherein one Jots down any unfamiliar word be meet« with In the reading of good hooka, together with Its verified meaning, will go far to rescue him frbm pres ent afflictions that beset ofir lan guage as If is written. Only one who bus tried this expedient knows the fun It offers, the renewed sense of vitality In thought, the sharper edge given Ideat and. simultaneously, the rapid growth of discriminative taste In reading.—Boston Globe.
