Address changed as often as requesied. By Geoze MalthevMatagamoreavannotwainintmnator If you cannot feel yourself growing from day to day, it is time for you to reali ze that you are standing still. Quickened by this thought, many of us see our record as It actually is and are thereby inspired to go beyond it and make a growing affair of it instead of something to be satisfied with. I read a list of famous living men in a magazine the other day. Not one was younger than 60.

The oldest was nearly 90Senator Depew. And as I studied this list of names, I called to my mind that every one of these men had always been very activeevery one a tireless worker. Glory in a good record made. But having made onemove on to a better one! Keep beating and surpassing your own record. Find in personal ad vancement and development the secret of your desire to grow.

Never be content with any standard set for your reaching. Keep bet tering it by learning more and working harder. For standards change as we near them even as a wonderful scene changes and increases in beauty as we walk near to it. What is more thrilling than to test our possibilities to their limitand learn, as we gain here and there, that there really are no limits when son cere aspiration leads. Just as soon as you make one good record you want to start for a bigger one.

So that record making will become a habit, and record breaking a thrilling adventure! Learn each day new things to door to think about. Keep adding to the resources of your mind, giving it wider scope and opportunities. Let no achievement die upon your hands. Rather, make each one a breeder of achievements. And walk in daily confidence that you are a creative being worthy of the time in which you live.

Build records that will stand!

31. D. (Johns Hopkins 'University.) (CoPyright, 1921, by Dr. Leonard 11.. IlirshbesTI the drug evil to Commissioner Simon, and every 1day police officers and other officials come to the Commissioner to learn how the drug question is being handled in New York City.

There is a close relation between crime and drugs. It has been e3tablished that CO percent of all drug addicts have criminal records and many of those apprehended have confessed that the 'first crime they ever committed was in an effort to obtain funds to buy drugs. Let this be a warning to you. Don 't touch the stuffone indulgence invites another and soon you cannot do without it. The habit once formed is indeed hard to be cured of.

In bidding welcome to the new year tonight the world will not linger over its farewells to the old. Hope and expectancy for what is to come overshadow the past and so there will be a brief nod to 1921 and a broad gesture of welcome to the newcomer. The past twelvemonth has witnessed substantial progress toward the equilibrium that was upset by the war and its aftermath. The world is slowly sobering from its wild debauch but it still suffering from the pangs incident to its orgy. Stability is most readily disturbed and most difficult to restore, for the reason that many powerful interests find it to their advantage to keep things in upheaval and disorder.

Everyone is engaged in the pursuit of happiness and each one has his or her own idea concerning the manner in which it to be obtained. Two great and fundamental things are essential antecedents, however. Until employment is available for all who need work to earn their bread and until war and its imminent presence are removed there can be no widespread and unalloyed happiness. The trend of events, fortunately, seems to be toward the goal wherein the highest hope centers. For the first time in history the powerful nations of the earth have consented to discard some of their most menacing war material and civilization seems at last to have remhed the point at which it can resolve to abandon much of its barbaric inheritance.

If permanent good is to ensue as a result of the Washington parley the year 1921 will be a iadiant landmark in the history of civilization; if the parley fails there will be nothing in the years record to give it lasting remembrance. Looking forward manifold signs indicate that in the realm of material prosperity much may be anticipated. The tax burden is being lessended and inflation decreasing. Business entertains a stout conviction that by the coming of spring there will be im provement in the purchasing markets. Aid for the farmer, stability of foreign exchange, cheaper traisportation, cheaper fuel and cheaper housing are the pressing needs that must be supplied before the ship of industry will emerge from its troubled waters Lnd in the next twelvemonth there should develop a healthy improvement in each of these factors.

Meanwhile, let us turn to the ancient philosopher, Aurelius, Dnd take to heart his proverb, helpful no matter how adverse the circumstances of our lives may be, which runs, "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your To one and all THE NEWS JOURNAL extends cordial good wishes for A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

There may de no new disease under the sun, but there are new types and new causes of old maladies. The initiated cravings for heroin, opium, morphine, cocaine, whisky, gin, rum, and alcohol may not begin always in the old way, dut there appears to be more victims of such habits nowadays than formerly.

Dr. Carlton Simon, Druo Commissioner of New York City classifies the tempters and professional middlemen, who start women and criminals on the downward drug road to several groups. The two largest groups of "tempters" to drug mania are certain doctors who continue to use heroin, opium, morphine and fancy mixtures of the same, and young men and women who laughingly advise you to "try it once just to see what it does" and those who boast of their daring and are "willing to try anything once." Dr. Simon recently reported in the New York Times that he finds these causes to be the most common except the professional "druo propagandist." He is found in all sorts of places but recently he or she has been frequenting the White light districts. In restaurants, and dance places, from "ham and egg" joints to the most expensive lobster palaces, this agent is doing a profitable business.

Often he is found, at a tadle, and sometimes through introductions, sometimes through girls who are working for him, suggests to his Intended customer a midnight party somewhere, promising something unusual or "bohemian" in this party. A promise of some bootleg whiskey is often the bait; a place where sure tips on the races can be obtaiued is another glittering attraction offered! Sometimes when the booster feels it is safe he promises his new fourl friend a real "dope" party at which they will be merely witnesses, not touching the drug themselves. Then from the restaurant the party, with two or tjlree prospective and unsuspecting customers goes to a room somewhere in the vicinity. If the party is supposed to be "bohemian" the room may be in one of the congested corners of the city, and the new crowd is introduced to thcse ho have the stuff. They are treated to an exhibition of "hop" smoking and wa.c the effect.

Then the time is ripe to get them. They are asked to 'try it just to see what it is like" and often they do. Perhaps the effects are not as woiderful as they are anticipated to be, but generally on another night they allow themselves to be persuaded to try another pipe to see if the second may not go detter than the first and then the curious pleasure seeker is almost suraly dooked. Before he knows it drug-taking is a pleasure to him and then a necessity, and another drug addict is made. Over 300 cities in this country and Canada are sending their reports on (Dr.

Q.Is there anything that will take spots off one's finger-nail? A.A solution of acetic acid and rose water, one part of the former to sixteen parts of the latter, may be employed. Oxalic acid is perhaps more efficient for accomplishing this purpose, but its use is not desirable, owing to its poisonous qualities. A READER: Q.I am somewhat round shouldered. Do you approve of shoulder braces for correcting this deformity? Shoulder braces" are absolutely worthless contrivances, which not only do not take the place of the spinal muscles in holding the spine erect, but make their wearer stiff and ungainly in his motions. After growth i3 attained much can be done at least to partly overcome this deformity, the correction of which has been neglected during growth.

Development of the spinal muscles is also indicated, but will not accomplish as much as in the growing period. Join a gymnastic class and do the exercises especially helpful to this condition. The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic association is composed of a number of high schools in the state who engage in competitive sports. At the annual meeting of the body held in Altoona this week it was decided to permit boys who have not played with a professional team 'within the past year to represent their school as amateurs. Ahd so with one swoop a lad passes from the rank of a professional to that of an amateur because a few teachers and coaches decide that such a step is just and proper.

She liked other things too, Listen: When Miss Muffet visited the food show she ate seven different kinds of breakfast food and gathered ten pounds of sample packaqes. Then she stepped on the free weighing machine and found that her weight had increased ten per whereas, if she had eaten twice-as much breakfast food the gain would have been eleven per cent.

GRIEST HAS PETITION OF VOLSTEAD OPPONENTS young man, get the idea out of your head that matrimony is a vaca tion. Take it from us, it's a vocation We noticed in a paper yesterday where a fellow by the name of Snow married a girl by the name of Rain. If we had written that in society Item, we would have it, "Oh, Slush." .....1 Rhymes By Walt Mason When the French refusal to unite with England and the United States in a programme for reducing the number of submarines is followed by a statement from Mr. Balfour that he sees it the phantom of war the world may well question the sincerity of some diplomats who profess to be laboring for the preservation of Always conservative and guarded of speech the British statesman drops an utterance of grave significance.

It carries great weight in coming from the head of the British delegation and its effect will be to impair confidence in the work of the parley and to provoke fear at a time when every effort should be strained to banish it. Whatever feeling the other powers may entertain respecting the surprising position France has taken, it is seriously prejudicial to the success of the movement at Washington to air the sentiment publicly. It only serves to illustrate the panicky state of mind under which leaders of great governments are laboring. The nervous tension produced by the war remains to plague them. For the moment France's attitude lacks satisfadtory explanation but it is delirium to leap instantly to the conclusion that she has aggrtssive designs against England or any other power.

Yet she has said sufficient to excite fear and that fear will find its concrete analogy in a competitive submarine construction race that may hold disastrous possibilities. If such should be the ironical consequence of the Washington parley what might we not expect What boots it to scrap battleships if they are to be replaced by giant fleets of submersibles, or fighting air craft, the latter of which the conference has not and doubtless will not give consideration But let the conference delegates submit the deadlock to the public and it will be instantt, severed. It is hard to conceive, of France precipitating a blight upon the world such as a submarine construction programme would constitute. She appears to be suffering from mental derangement and defective vision and it is the imperative duty of her sister powers to administer restoratives before the plague spreads. THE END OF She was beautiful to look at, But his love for her is gone, He gave her a careless up and down-- She had galoshes on.

Washington, D. Dec. 30.The petition of the Pennsylvania division of the association against the prohibition amendment, which.calls for the repeal of the Volstead law, was received today by Congressman Griesto Lancaster. The petition contains the names of hundreds of residents of the state. Included on the list are a number of residents of this county.

While the Amateur Athletic Union, the supreme arbiter in sports, is doing all in its power to eliminate professionalism from high school and collegiate ranks, a bunch of Pennsylvania school teachers meet in Altoona and de( ide to the contrary. This act is Placing the stamp of approval upon professionalism. Many tads will now see the way clear to digress from the straight and narrow path in sports because they can "get back on the team the next Such legislation makes the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic association defeat the very ends which it was organized to serve.

The rising generation is doing too much of it with yeast, says Dr. THE CRIMINAL I mark the specialist in crime, as on his course he hops, and when he isn't serving time he's dodging gumshoe cops; and he can never reach a clime where the avenoer stops. He makes a killing now and then, and swipes some sucker's board; but never may, like other men, the wholesome joys afford, and soon or later In the pen he has his bed and board. For him there is no peace of mind, no rest at set of sun, and moral people and refined he evermore must shun, and if he hears a step behind his impulse is to run. His nerve forsakes him when he's old, his days are days of dread, the step that once was firm and bold is like a rabbit's tread, and shaking in the dark and cold, he wishes he were dead.
