Nothing annoys a man more than to have his wife introduce him to her friends in a manner as though she were saying to them: “Meet my big mistake.” There are so many laws that even a professional law-breaker occasionally, by accident, obeys one.

Were You Born in JULY? Because they are under the influence of the sun. Leo persons are apt to be fiery in temperaament, generous, open-handed. Love dominates those born in this period. Leo men and women both are quick to react emotionally. Although their dispositions are naturally sunny, they have very positive likes and dislikes. The flower of July is the larkspur and the birthstone, the ruby.

GENERAL PAWS LETTER TO HIS SON WRITTEN ON *D'DAY This letter from General Patton was written to his son on D-Day. It was mimeographed and sent to Miss Ruth Bozell, English teacher at Arsenal Technical High School by Mr. Robert A. Barrows, Philadelphia. It appeared in the Arsenal Cannon and is reprinted by The Indianapolis Herald because of its great interest. Dear George: At 0700 this morning the BBC announced that the German radio has just come out with an announcement of the landing of Allied paratroops and of large numbers of assault craft near shore. So that is it.

This group of unconquerable heroes whom I command are not in yet but we will be soon—l wish I was there now as it is a lovely sunny day for a battle, and I am fed up with just sitting. I have no immediate idea of being killed, but one can never tell and none of us can live forever; so if I should -go, don’t worry, but set yourself to do better than I have. BATTLES MAKE ALL MEN TIMID All men are timid on entering and fight whether it is the first fight or the last fight. All of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood. You will never do that because of your blood lines on both sides. I think I have told you the story of Marshall Touraine, who fought under Louis XIV. On the morning of one of his last battles —he had been fighting for forty years—he was mounting his horse when a young ADC who had just come from the court and had never missed a meal or heard a hostile shot, said: “M.de Touraine, it amazes me that a man of your supposed courage should permit his knees to tremble as he walks out to mount.” Touraine replied, “My lord duke, I admit that my knees do tremble, but should they know where I shall this day take them they would shake even more.” That is it. Your knees may shake, but they will always take you toward the enemy. Well, so much for that. TWO TYPES OF SUCCESSFUL SOLDIERS There are apparently two types of successful soldiers. Those who get on by being unobtrusive and those who get on by being obtrusive. I am of the latter type and seem to be rare and unpopular; but it is my method. One has to choose a system and stick to it. People who are not themselves are nobody. To be a successful soldier you must know history. Read it objectively—dates and even the minute details of tactics are useless. What you must know is how man reacts. Weapons change, but man who uses them changes not at all. To win battles you do not beat weapons—you beat the soul of man—of the enemy man.

WAR CALLS FOR RISKS To do that, you have to destroy his weapons, but that is only incidental. You must read biography and especially autobiography. If you will do it, you will find that war is simple. Decide what will hurt the enemy the must within the limits of your capabilities to harm him and then do it. TAKE CALCULATED RISKS. That is quite different from being rash. My personal belief is that that if you have a 50 per cent chance, take it because the superior fighting qualities of American soldiers led by me will surely give the extra 1 per cent necessary. In Sicily I decided as a result

of my information, observation, and a sixth sense that I have, that the enemy did not have another large scale attack in his system. I bet my shirt on that and I was right. You cannot make war safely, but no dead general has ever been criticized, so you have that way out always. BOWLING LEAGUE I thought I had married a husband As I gazed so proudly at my rings, But I found myself disillusioned And marriage—just one of those things, For he spends his time at the alleys. It makes me so mad I could fight. And though I complain It’s always in vain

When it’s bowling league that night.

Doing the best you can with the little opportunities that come along will get you further than idly wishing for the big chance that may never arrive.
