And some- times the words are used to convey the idea that a reward had been paid for turning over a crim- inal to the law. Along there in the middle ages when people were rough and “killers” were abroad, “blood money” meant the money actually paid for shed- ding blood. Sometimes it meant money paid to a man for bringing another‘s death, or the slayer himself might pay it to his victim’s nearest rel- atives to save himself from their vengeance. In the old days the amount of blood money varied with the crime. Unfortunately, there is some evidence that killers for a price have not yet been vanished from the earth. But they ought to be, and maybe they will be. “Blood money” in the old or the new acceptance of the term, has no place in the language. the superior court Mr. Chaplin, w court, but was rej neys.

WHEN TO WORRY | “Man is a creature of sorrow. He is born in | tears and never smiles before his fortieth day.” So wrote the philosopher Pliny, and pessimists |in every age before and since have found their ways of declaring life a value of tears and a valley of sadness. A Much that is idle and silly has been written of laughter. Those who forever preach of laughing |away sorrow and giggling in the face of catas- 'trophe will find their most proficient students in \kindergartens, where children laugh with little | cause and in mad houses where the inmates need no cause for laughter. But, between the two theories of life—morbid pessimism and inane optimism—lies a middle path |that the most of folks will find it best to follow. Worry is the implacable foe of laughter. No one denies the value of laughter, but many deny its possibility at some times. Worry too often conquers laughter. Divide your worries into two parts. There are those misfortunes which thought and a full ap- preciation bought by worry will remedy and there ‘are others that no amount of remorse or re- gret will alter. . The man who worries because his pay envelope holds not enough for the comfort of his family, may, if he keeps his worry within due bounds, increase his salary and the happiness fo his brood. Laughter then will follow and‘be good. But to grieve forever more for the dead—dead mortals or dead hopes—is simply to shut the door fast on heaven-sent laughter and to make of life a true value of tears and a valley of distress: Believe neither the one nor the other; the wail ‘chuckle and grin of the constitutional, optimist. joy and the other sorrow. es Lucky a certain Chicago policeman isn’t bald.
