ARE WE “ALIVE”? A man once told me a story °f great significance about MarK Twain, the well-known author I and story teller. It seems that Mark, at one time being very well-to-do, was often approached with different inventions and discoveries were supposed to be valuable s o such an extent that great sums of money could be made from their production. Os course some of them sounded good to Mr. Twain and he indulged to such an extent that he lost several dollars in what proved to be wordless propositions. Mark, one day as he was sitting on his porch, noticed a rather tired- and worn-looking man approaching his home. The man, after introducing himself, proceeded to explain a contraption which he carried in his hand, as an instrument which could be used to transmit the voice of one person to another some distance away, each being able to hear and to speak audibly to one-another. lie wanted Mr, Twain to give him the financial support necessary to

produce this mechanism, but Mark, having been “gyped” more than his share already, refused. The stranger was Alexander Graham Bell and the j implement was his invention, the telephone. All of you know the value of the telephone today. You can readi’.y see that Mark Twain passed uP the opportunity to gain for himself a very comfortable living and thus was loser another time. The moral—“Be alive! Be alert to recognize opportunity when it presents itself.” All of us at one time or another have chances to better our means, sometimes in a double or triplefold manner, but, we like Mark Twain pass uP the chance because we do not thoroughly ponder over the thing in question and recognize the value. So, we say, “Wake up and ‘Be aliye’.” LIST A BEE BE WHEN DRIVING The above may sound like, double talk, but a BEE CAN WRECK YOUR CAR. The sudden appearance of a bee or other winged insect in car s causes many accidents every summer. Typically, driver and Occupants are thrown into a panic. and needlessly, too, because the noise and vibration of the car bewilders the bee so much that his only motive during his frenzied flight is escape. Entomologists have, proved that bees are less likely to sting white in a moving car than at any other time. Being under a roof and whirled along in the car, they are intent only on “getting away from there.” Just roll down the windo\v a crack, ignore your little winged “hitch-hiker,” and he’ll blow out Without harming anyone. Mrs. G. C. Seiferth of Buffalo, who once embroidered uniforms for officers of the German army * during the reign of the Kaiser, now devotes her skill as a needle worker to making emblems and badges for American fraternal societies.

[UfWf I FRED W. BRAUN jl Some people feel that because they have the right of way at an interesetion they have a certain measure of safety. Strict adherence to the right of way rifle is sometimes very foolish. The interpretation of the right of way rule is, generally speaking, that the vehicle arriving first at an ordinary, unprotected intersection shall have the right to cross first, but that when two vehicles reach the crossing at the same time, the one on the left should give way to the one on the right. Most drivers know and oDserve this rule. Many abuse this privilege. They assume that the other driver will stop and let them? pass. Be careful lest you become a “statistic.” It’s Smart To Drive CarefullyAN OBJECT LESSON “Private business has been primarily responsible for every dollar of wealth that has been created in the United States and for every job that exists,” says the Mansfield, Ohio, News-Journal. Ignorance or deliberate disregard of that fact has been a prime cause of prolonged depression. Private business ha s been attaCKed and reviled and the result has been less earning s and fewer jobs.

LIFE INSURANCE IS SCREWY I “Life insurance is screwy. • writes an insurance authority. “You have to buy it when you don’t need it, because when you do need it, you can’t get it. It is designed to take care of the two major hazards of life; i.e., either you will not live long enough or you will live too long.” It’s easy to postpone buying life insurance—anyone can have a lo* more fun with money than paying premiums. But there’s no fun in waking uP some morning with the knowledge that it’s too late to obtain adequate insurance protection^—and to have to face a dependent old age.

MORE CONSIDERATION SUGGESTED FOR CAREERS IN MANUAL TRADES Youths would be wise to give mere consideration to manual ana mechanical occupations and less thought to the “white collar” jobs according to a report released today by J. Bradley Hanght, actirg director of the Indiana State Employment Service, covering the third annua] Occupational Outlook survey conducted among the personnel of the 40 state employment exchanges. lAmong the occupations suggested for consideration of those youths who can devotq from two to five more years preparing for a vocation are:- for boys) tool and die maker; machinist; aviation mechanic; mechanical engineer; tool designer; and chemist or chemical engineer; (for girls) stenographer; office machine operator; beauty culturist; trained nurse; dietician; and designer of clothes, textiles, or millinery. Mr. Haight’s report on the finnings of the survey is divided into tkree parts a s follows: (1) The Situation Facing ’39 High School Graduates; (2) Oportunities for 19 3 9 College Graduates; (3) Where May Future Opportunities Be,Found? Copies of the mimeofrapher available upon request at any of the state employment offices. Young women should study the effect of marriage upon job opportunities before they invest time and money to obtain training, one portion of the report stated. “A stenographer, for example, will find many positions closed to her, if, after marriage, she should fina it necessary to work in >rder to supplement her husband’s income. On the other hand, a trainea beauty operator, nurse, or dietician, is not likely to find marriage an obstacle to securing employment in her field.” Film s of all the pictures in which he has appeared have been presented to the film library of the New York Museum of Modem Art by Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. The collection contains 2,700,000 feet of filn£*and weighs 13 tons.
