ON OUR WAV The automobile may be responsible for it. We have come to blame the automobile fo r a lot ot things. This time we are talking about the eternal hurry th a t has crept into present day life. Somehow nobody ever seems to be ready for anything now. You gulp your coffee in the. morning and rush to the office. In the midst of the struggle the noon hour arrives and you grab your b a t and fly out to lunch. They arc waiting for you when you get back to work, and glower a t you because you are a few minutes late. You rush to the bank to find the doors slammed in your face. You hasten to a store t o . find the last clerk leaving with a curt “We close a t noon on Wednesdays.” Everywhere people are rushed to death in the ef­ fo rt to close for the half holiday. You get your September magazines about the fifth of August. They s ta rt shooting firecrackers three weeks before the Fourth of July, Yesterday we saw a sign, “Orders The daily .press carried a small taken fo r Christmas trees now,” and announcement of. the death of Dr. if you haven’t placed the order for .Menard while devoted columns to the your thanksgiving turkey you prob-!rehash of the search for evidence ably won’t get ope.

In tho end, a fte r 15 years pf exposure to the .rays that he had used to trea t the cancers of others, Dr. Menard himself died of the disease. Dr, Manard lost all his fingers, ope after the other, and a t last bis right eye. The disease spread to every part of the body, but in spite of the agony he suf­ fered he carried, on his studies. In spite of his handicaps he insisted on being wheeled into a hospital room to supervise the treatment of patients when his assistant was absent. . . ... - . - - ... ■ .... • in>T..,W.i lng in the *tad*nt, more could be cainad by that student, and meat ether#, by haring four years in the smaller college, whore individual at- te&Moa is possible.. The great fault found by many in the modem university is that many hundred# of students are admitted that are not prepared fo r university work such as is given in this day. The average university is making it almost impossible fo r the smaller institution to exist. Numbers of btu- denta play a fa r too important part in the strife between educational in­ stitutions. Education should be made a# easy as possible to obtain that all could benefit, but the universities are not following that plan. er a t 13 the other day, , Children of eight and !ten t have dancing parties and dress like adults. Push ’em along. Get them 'through school and into college as quickly as you can. But, after all, .what is the hurry? Now, to go back to the automobile. Did ‘'.you ever watch a string of cars held a t a railroad crossing? Hear the impatient honk of the klaxon, the calls of the drivers. Can't wait a a minute. The other day a girl driv­ ing a Cadillac filled with children chased us two" blocks before we de­ cided to slow up a b it and let her pass. F ifty feet after she had gone by the refreshment stand and stop­ ped. We all do it. We can’t wait a second a t a railroad crossing so we get h it and spend six weeks in a hos­ pital o r they lay us away with hands . folded upon pur breast. People don’t have lingering illnesses any more; they just drop dead on the .street. Hurry, hurry, hurry! No time to en­ joy life. No time to be sociable. Hpnkt Honk!

They simply cannot avoid gloom and pessimism. To them there is always charm in melancholy, and they seem to think it is folly to try to be happy. They chain themselves to past sorrows that should long ago have been buried and forgotten. Some men can enjoy life 6nly while whipping them­ selves into a fine frenzy of despair. They depict nothing but .evil days ahead. The automobile, buying on the installment plan and the waste of time are ruining the coming genera­ tion. They picture the dissolution of Europe and the utter collapse of the already cankered civilization of the Old World. "They have been doing this now for ten long years.. They picture the present situation in Europe as a complete failure, death by' starvation of the professional classes and the sUrVival of a reduced population' composed of peasants. They .see nothing but race suicide. Still, in spite of nil this, the scarr­ ed old world do move, always toward better things and higher ideals.

Namely,, th a t the fundamental need of this world is kindness, Everyone is thirsting fo r understanding, fo r sympathy, for the re­ freshing touch of a kindly heart* The yearning may be covered up by a show of cleverness, sophistry or synicism, but sooner or later, as Amiel so beautifully describes it, “just when one has succeeded in deadening feeling by work or amusement, all of sudden the heart, solitary captive that it is, sends a cry from its prison depths, a cry Which shakes to its foundations the whole surrounding edi­ fice,” . " . I t is the cry for sympathy and kindness. Those who a re ju st kindly have, their place in the world. The other eVening I was reading again the story of those turbulent times of Charles I, in England, As the Ring Was led out to his death, a private soldier standing near the door said in pity, “Cod bless you, Sir.” An officer knocked him down, No matter how. black the crimes of the condemned man, nor how jUBfc the decree, that private soldier showed a kindness of nature in the face of popular disapproval that raised him high above the ruck of his surroundings.. I have often wondered what his name was; Men of the kindly heart have included some of the greatest names of history. . - Leonardo da Vinci; the universal genius of Italy, was in the habit of buying caged bird# to hare the pleasure of giving them their freedom. Pythagoras, the noble-minded Creek teacher, is said to have one day purchased from fishermen the fish in their nets in order to have the joy of freeing them/ Companionship for the unfortunate, however, humble, is the mark of a superior soul* „ Kindness is the core of character; I t is the power of the Golden Rule applied to the every day. When Lincolns mother was dying in Her frontier cabin she put her hand on little Aba'i head and told him always to “he kind to hi* father and sister.” ’ . 1 There is more than an accidental relationship between the character of the greatest man of our age and the fact that “being kind” was the only request of hi# dying mother. \ REST Beet is in no way related to lazi­ ness, One cannot be .said to rest unless weary. Rest is the antidote for intensive action; it is our best reconstructive, and, like most val­ uables, should be earned to be en- Joyed. There is no equal for rest in the restoration of tired nerves or fag­ ging energies. Medicines are poor substitutes for rest, if indeed they are substitutes a t all. '.Often have recalled the prescription of the meek and lowly Nazarene, when he beheld the tempest raging and said, “Peace;, be still.” When the nerves are taxed to the uttermost, sleep impossible, the mind, urged beyond its capability, totters on its thron v* then rest—rest—unless rest is secureu dis­ aster is imminent. The well-ordered man will not permit anything to dis­ turb his rest hour. In these hurry-skurry days we seem to forget th^t rest is an es­ sential to human life and happiness. We forget tha t a 1worn-out mind is even worse than a worn-out body, as we swing in our swivel-chairs and order a “bromo” for the headache. What rebels we are, turning night into, day and day into default! We ignore the law of rest and wonder why we do not feel well. Some very ignoran t,. unthinking people seek stimulants when tired. This puts off the crisis for a time, but not for long. No break-down comes without warning in time. We 3hould heed the call of rest,- even though it, is only a whisper. To evade it is to hear a t some critical time the shout of outraged Nature “Fool, take thy penalty fully earned!” Miss Donna Burn# spent the last week-end visitjfn gvrith Mips Irma Creswell in Dayton. Mr, and Mrs. Walter Miller of Lancaster City, Pa., and Miss Claire Winter of Holtwood, Par,, are spend iftg th i week a t tha home o f M!r. and Mrs. Cantor AfcelPrMfii.
