Then he told the story of the rich
and foolish fanner, whose life had
moeeeded on three great mistakes—
■at he could live for and unto hlm-
mU alone, that he could feed his

■sslted time to enjoy what he pos

alone; he had said to his soul. "Thou

"HOW TO
H ERE are a few suggestions, on
sure-fire ways of losing friends.
*1. Be sloppy. Drop ashes on the
rugs of your friends and leave rings
from your dr Ink-
Ing glass on
their tables.
Break dishes,
and burn holes
in their sheets.
When you bor
row anything at
all, either forget
to return it at
all or send it back
damaged. It re-
D. Carnegie quires little ef
fort to dog-ear
leaves of a book, or to mark- the
puggs with a pencil. If the article
borrowed is clothing, it is a simple
matter to return it with a grease
stain or a ripped seam. Never be
punctual; always keep the other
fellow waiting for you. How could
you know that his time is of impor
tance to him.
"When yon stay overnight at a
friend’s honse, leave the bath
room In a mess of wet towels
and spilled powder. Yon can
manage to scatter powder on all
the articles of the dresser, too,
with very little effort. Send let
ters without sufficient postage,
and always mail your Christmas
cards on December 24th. The
ehances are you were Just as
busy on December 15th, but—
“2. Be over-solicitous. If a friend
has a cold, keep fussing around him
as If he were dying of pneumonia;
tell everyone how awful he looks
and how worried you are over him.
Force gifts on your friends until you
embarrass them; especially if you
cant afford it; give the impression
that you have to bribe your way into
their friendship. Run futile little
errands for them that they never
wanted done, until they are crushed
under a load of obligation.
"If you will follow the above,
plus yesterday’s suggestions. In
all probability within one year
you will not be bothered by hav
ing any friends at aU. If by
chance a few obstinate ones sen
timentally linger on, I can offer
a brief post-graduate course
guaranteed to produce results in
even the most aggravated cases.
This includes Interfering with
your friends' discipline of their
children, causing troubls be
tween husbands and wives, and
Involving them in your personal
fends, so that Jim can't invite
you and Toin to the same party,
or Nell has to be sure you never
find out that she still sees Har
riet! Just a little of this, and
yon will find yourself perma
nently blessed with solitude and
In possession of unbroken priv
acy for the rest of your life."

POPULARITY IMPORTANT TO CHILDREN
t
D OES your child bring friends
home from school with him? Is
he excited and happy as he speaks
of school activities and of the boys
and gi.L> in his class? Most chil
dren nowadays like to go to school,
but if your child is one of the few
who still fret and fuss about it, ask
yourself several searching questions
concerning him. Is he enjoying
maximum health? Are his eyes
ready for school tasks—he may be
six years old by the calendar and
still be a year or so behind In the
ability of his eyes to focus on the
printed page. Have you had his
hearing tested? Is he getting enough
. sleep? Is he happy at home and
unwonied about his relationship
with both parents? Is he jealous of
a brighter or more lovable brother
or sister?
Professional advice where neces
sary, extra love - and understanding
about home difficulties, these are
the general remedies for meeting the
problems implied by our questions.
But there’s another Important ques
tion to ask about your child in de
termining whether he needs help In
making a satisfactory adjustment to
school—Is he popular with other
children?
First, mothers should bear in
mind that it is often tragic for a
child to be different from other
children, even when this differ
ence is a trait his parents are
proud of. It is of particular im
portance that he be dressed very
• much as other children are. This
isn’t difficult today when maga
zines and stores present attrac
tive school wardrobes in several
price ranges, yet looking almost
identical. As a matter of fact,
the mother who is most likely to
make mistakes is the one with
too much money who can’t re
sist finery for her children. The
over-dressed child reacts either
with insufferable vanity, or if '
sensitive to the approval of oth
er children suffers from looking
different. /
>
A little pocket money is also im
portant to a child’s happiness within
the school group. He ought to be
able to Join the others for a soda
now and then without running home
first to ask for the money. If your
local movie has a Saturday Chil
dren’s show, your child will miss a
whole week’s chatter if he can t join
the others in discussing it.
Keep your child as free as pos
sible of special restrictions—if
the other boys ride their bikes to
school, don’t insist that Junior
leave his at home because you
are afraid the gang may wander
too far afield after school hours.
Investigate all possible dangers
to your children’s free movement
in your community. Then make
rules prohibiting the taking of
serious risks, but don’t tie them
down to a certain area just to
minimize the wear and tear on
your own nervous system.

Of course you can only go so far
In making children alike. A gifted,
creative child can never be pourea
into the common mold. He can suf
fer, though, from the disdain of ht->

One of the taxi fleets that tested the new
B.F. Goodrich Silver town before it was offered
for public sale was Yellow Cab, Louisville,
Ky. In addition, it was tested on police cars
and the B.F.Goodrich test fleet over millions
of miles in all kinds of weather under severest
conditions, and even at high speeds.
All these tests supported Mr. Ballantine’s find
ings that: ... their wider, flatter tread gives
our cabs better traction and surer, safer
stopping. The stronger cord body means fewer
interruptions and service stoppages. And in
