Recalling some of the other all time resolu‘tions, I find that all have been broken. That's what a guy gets” for being human, I guess. For example: I never did give up tobacco; an occasional beverage with alcoholic content often is directed with accuracy towards my mouth and on some occasions it’s more than an occasional beverage; at parties I find that the habit of being the first to arrive and the last to leave is strong; also at parties I usually manage to over-indulge in anything that's offered; over-indulgence in ' ftself. is sometimes excusable but when a man asks his hosts to pack him a lunch for next day, it makes a man feel bad the néxt day. i The list is rather long.

you get the more bad habits you seem to pick up. Yesterday, however, when everything looked brightest before the dawn. and darkest before noon, one thought served to give “me confidence. No resolutions were broken. A step in the right

backward never.” How was that accomplished? How can a man go into the-second .day of the New Year without

Here's How It Works

IT WORKS like this. Say I'm at a party] where everything points to the fact that it has all the earmarks of being a small blowout. You know darn well if you don't watch yourself it would be mighty easy to get messed up and possibly get home late and the rest that goes with a blowout. 3 Of 'coursé, everyone is having a good time. The hostess asks you if you want a glass of re-

freshments, ‘You try to decline. Then she asksiguys back home with their fam-

you to do your ever popular soft-shoe routine. (‘There's always someone in the crowd who hasn't seen it more than 15 times.) You try to decline. Get the idea? You have the same amount of fun, you feel the same the next day but without that] guilty feeling. : This year I've also resolved not fo put emphasis. on fun.” A man who is approaching 30 should start thinking about settling down in a little white cottage maybe, with some nice girl who: likes to do dishes maybe, with the thought for a little bundle from heaven maybe. Something for a bachelor to think about. -A man can’t have a whale of a time all of the time. That's why in 1940 I'm going to try to keep the ol’ slate clean. Like now, I'm going to try not- to sleep for a couple of hours. I'm going to try to read a good book on something good. Can't blame a man for trying. Never had it

Invited to Inauguration : . THE FIRST governor ever to be elected (all the others for nearly 50 years have been appointed by the President in Washington) is about to be inaugurated in linen-suited splendor at La Fortelaza, which is his palace, and this in a small way is something like signing the Declaration of Independence. : He invited me (and a thousand other people) down to observe the festivities in conneétion with this historic event; we parked: our overcoats and jumped at the chance Only ones who couldn't make it, poor frozen-edred fellows, are the .Congressmen in Washington: They all had to send their regrets on accoupt of the little matter of the 81st Congress starting back to work _ on Monday.

One other time I was in these parts but never got to sew ‘em. That was when the Army was seeing how rapidly it could send a flying machine around the world and I went along for the ride, That's exactly what I got: a ride. All I remember of the Caribbean was a hibiscus vine climbing up a post at the airport. Next stop was North Africa, which I didn’t see, either. All around the world it was that way. I flew] across India with only a glance from above at the; Taj Mahal and a quick sniff of Calcutta while we! gassed up. ; I flew across the Himalayas at night without seeing a mountain and all the way across China without ever seeing a Chinaman.
