YOUR LEISURE HOURS
• -
T IKE a machine, you only rust
uihltff you are idle. Kest is neces
sary. Idleness IS not. 1
Ideas come oftenest in your leisure
hours. By making use of these hours,
not only -for rest and recreation, but
for thought, you may make them the
most valuable part of your life. This
Is particularly true of men who are
Employed upon tasks which require
more attention than inventiveness.
^here Is much tedious work to be
done In the world. Odce the motions
are learned there is nothing to do but
■follow them. Day after day It Is the
aome thing over again, till the mlad
becomes numb and the heart sick with
sheer weariness.
If you' have this kind of a job, you
will have to do most of your thinking
In your hours of leisure. It Is* then
that your brain, relieved of the strain
of constant attention to a humdrum
job, will be at Its best.
It la then that you will have time to
read—to think, to consider the future
and what you feena to do la It.
Even the dullest duties can be done
better by a thoughtful mao than by
But if ft

begin to get more light on It.
Lucky Is ihe man whose job U a
constant incentive to thought. The
engineer, the palnjer, the writer, can
think as l\e works, and his mind grows
with each day’s task well done.
But such places in life are few.
Most of us must do the dally grind ns
cheerfully as we can, and when the
whistle blows or Sunday* morning
dawns, think how we are going Xo get
a better Job.
Recreation, exercise, both are nec
essary. Play Is as useful as work.
But nowadays every man has more
leisure than he needs for play. If he
employs It Intelligently it may become
more Important than all his working
hours.
Be systematic about th® use of your
leisure. Read in it. study In it, think
In it. And it Is more than likely that
the habit of thought you thus develop
wlP carry you out of the rut to the
threshold of fortune.

to escape arrest, he jled to the
Temple of Minerva. The crowd,
lihrlng to violate the sanctity of
thfc temple, walled up the ea-

of starvation In the very place
where lie had been guilty of
treachery. It later became a

. Judge Thomas M.'Cotrer of the Rnj
corder’s court of,Detroit. Mich., oct^
Ing on suggestion of the American Le
gion, fins successfully put into opera
tion a probation plan, which has In
stilled In the minds of many former
service men 4 high regard for the au
thority of the law.
The System was guggested In 1319,
following discharge from military serv
ice of many thonaands of men, of
whom some were forced to appear In
police court on minor charges of mis
demeanors. Under the plan inaugu
rated many of thfese men were spared
the stigma of a prison sentence due
to a far-sighted policy Instigated by
Judge Cotter.
Only tTie word of the man himself,
with a promise to be a better citizen,
and the word from some American Le
gion official Is necessary to save the
man from sentence. The plan works
remarkably well, according to the re-
