DON’T BLAME ‘UNLUCKY STAR’—WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS

Bad Luck Usually Result of Lack of Real Ambition and Work Toward Better Things. By Martha Lee “A man will remain a ragpicker as long as he has only the vision of the ragpicker.” A philosopher said this. There’s truth in it, for few of us are lifted beyond our dreams.

Almost always our expectations have opened the way to the point where we now stand. We may not like our achievement but it is the result of thoughts and desires, sometimes unconsciously held. However the faculty to dream and plan and expect was not given to mock us, though we are tempted to think so when things go wrong. The mental attitude of expectation, the desire (unconscious prayer) is what nature answers. She takes it for granted that we desire what we are headed for, believe in, expect. The person to whom success seems making a bee line, is really steering towards it himself by his confident, dreaming expectations. As valuable as any wonderful invention or discovery—as important as conquering the air, is this twentieth century realization that FRANCE LOOSENS SPENDING More Money Allowed to Embassies for Entertainment. Bn United Prcst PARIS, May 13. Although France is still watching her centimes to save the franc, ambassadors and ministers in foreign capitals liave been instructed to take the lid off entertainments. French embassys and legations will again become the gay places they were before the franc took its disastrous tumbles. Four million francs ($160,000), are allowed by a decree just published by the government, for the cost of parties and balls in foreign capitals. The French embassy in Washington is allowed 230,000 francs ($9,200) to make its receptions gayer, but evidently the government in Paris thinks Washington parties are cheap, for the decree allows the embassy In Rome to spend 350,000 francs ($14,000) and the French representative at the Vatican an additional 120,000 francs ($4,800). London will have 250,000 francs ($10,000) more to spend on socially representing the French government and Moscow’s reborn society will probably be glad to learn that 150,000 francs ($6,000) is drawn for entertainment there. The balance of the amount is distributed among embassies in South America and Asia.

SCANDAL IN COURTS ATTRACTS Sociologist Declares Visitors Not Interested in Justice. Bn United Pres* EUGENE, Ore., May 13.—Our courtrooms are not visited by spectators for the purpose of seeing justice done to their fellow-men, In the opinion of John H. Mueller, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Oregon, but because they want to be thrilled with scandal. Prof. Mueller declared society would be much better offTf It eliminate the great amount of publicity given to divorce and annulment suits and criminal cases. He pointed out the English parliament recently enacted a law prohibiting the publication of testimony in divorce trials, by newspapers. Syndicated Gossip “Publicity of this type is nothing more than ‘syndicated gossip,’ ” I Prof. Mueller explained. The Jogical solution, according to Prof Mueller, is to reconstruct the courts and secure scientific regulation according to the merits of the case, as is now done in the juvenile court. Domestic and juvenile courts are private and informal, he said. The case is brought up and advice given or correction made. Visitors are not permitted and they would be able to hear little even if they were. This is the procedure, according to Prof. Mueller, that should be adopted in divorce courts.

our mental attitude, our desires, ambitions are vastly important in our progress. Believes in Bad Luck Dear Martha Lee: I wonder what you could eay to a person who all his life has had bad luck and now has nothing. Money, position, friends, yes, and even his wife, who ran away with another man, have been taken. He is my brother. He has come to stay with me and his thoughts are terrible—of making away with himself and so on. My husband is anything but crazy about having him here. He was always inclined to melancholy and pessimism and my mother used to worry about him terribly. Ho says there is no use trying and that he was just bom unlucky. His feeling this way is a terrible burden to me. J’ll appreciate it if you can suggest anything I can do. MRS. MAE McC. There's no use denying you have a Job on your hands because the man’s mental attitude seems deepseated, but if you could succeed in convincing him that his own thoughts—and not “bad luck’’ are largely responsible, you’ll help him. His pessimism may have driven his wife away. It’s certain, anyway, that the belief in the sure coming of misfortune makes for those very results and creates a mental atmosphere that other folks avoid. If you can shake his faith in outside “jinxes” and get him into a line of more wholesome thinking, you are doing about all you can do. Being Bachelor? Dear Martha Lee: I am a young man. 1 9 years old. lam considered good looking and have personality. I do not care to have dates with girls of my acquaintance because they all seem to flapperish and care for nothing. What would be the best policy for a man of my nature—to become a bachelor or start seriously hunting for the right girl? UNDECIDED. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to wait a while before deciding this important question of bachelorhood? I don't believe that at 19 you are in a fair position to judge the feminine mind—even of flappers. There are so many things of more importance for you to think of right now, dear young Mr. Undecided. Tour future, your profession and the like, would better be decided first, don’t you think? Give Them Up? Dear Martha Lee: 2am a girl 20 years old and engaged to a fellow that I have been going with for a year and a half. Now he runs around with two fellows that for his own sake I think he should not go with. I have told him he either had to give them up or me. Please advise me what you think of this. BLACK EYES. If the man is high spirited, your ultimatum would have the opposite effect to what you want it to. Even if he did not care for the young men, he might resent your attitude sufficiently to cling to them. You are pitting your judgment against his about his friends. If you are absolutely certain- that you are justified in this, try to help him see this, but do not take such an extreme attitude.

MAY DEADLIEST MONTH FOR INDIANA TRAFFIC Eleven Killed in Indianapolis Just Year Ago; Club President Warns Drivers and Gives Safety Hints.

“The deadliest month of the year for Hoosiers is the beautiful month of May according to records in the office of the Police Accident Prevention Bureau. The records show that eleven persons were killed In Indianapolis last year in May, eight adults and three children. “Every motorist should strive to reduce the number of accidents this year*” says Duane Dungan, president of the Hoosier Motor Club. “May brings out thousands of new drivers and thousands of new and old cars manned by inexperienced and careless drivers. "May starts the touring season and brings to the state many motorists who are unfamiliar with our laws and our streets. “Arm signals should be given for every operation of the car. The legal rate of speed should be tempered, always, by the condition of the road and the traffic it carries. Curves must be taken cautiously and brakes applied within reason. When children are near slow down. “Rules for safe driving are known to every motorist, but it seems that constant reiteration is necessary. Safety lessons are preached daily in newspapers and every accident carries its moral. “It is possible that there may be some unavoidable accidents, but at least 99 per cent of all accidents

If every motorist would anticipate danger at street intersections, at curves and blind corners and he prepared for any emergency, accidents could be reduced to the few which happen from roadbed dangers and mechanical flaws In the automobile.”

annual drive for laborers to do farm work In western States is under way and several Hoosiers probably will be sent West to fill positions. "As long as we can keep everyone at work we have a satisfied community,” declared Bert Robinson, special agent. Service Is Free “A great many employers do not realize that we offer a free service to both employe and employer and are anxious to serve the public. Often we have applicants who are down and out because of some financial failure and are too proud to take charity. / “We get them places and they soon are on their feet again,” said Robinson.
