Is not egg How impo:tant are you, in this gigantic system by which humanity is earning its living? Conceit is proverbial. But only a very small fraction of us exaggerate our importance. Most of us actually underestimate our importance. Prob ably this is because we return from vacation or an illness, to find things going ahead just as if we hadn’t been away. ._. The fact that you can be replaced does not lessen your importance when you are “on the job.” Thousands of men can run an airplane. However, this doesn’t detract: from the importance of the pilot on any given trip. Ask the passengers taking their first flight. A discouraged young man, in an agony of self-pity, writes a letter bewailing his “trivial function in life.” He sees and hears of other men doing “big things.” He compares with his own work as a tool maker in a machine shop, and decides that he doesn’t amount to much. Young man, you are wrong. Men toiled for thousands of years to harness the electric- ity that drives the motor operating your lathes. Others toiled for thousands of years to find the processes of making the steel and iron with which you turn out your finished products. Your work is the culmination of the efforts of these vast armies of men of the past.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts “Here’s a letter that’s been here ’most a hundred years,” said Mr. Stamps, the fairy Postmaster in the hickory tree postoffice. “The more I look at it the less I ean read it, and the less I can read it the less I want to look at it.” He handed it over to Nancy and Nick who looked at it with their magical glasses. “Why it’s written in Chinése!” declared Nick. “Then what’s to be done?” asked Mr. Stamps in a despairing voice. “Why I couldn’t even read a lau dry check from a Chinese lagndry, to save my life.” Nancy looked again, “It!s to Mr. Tinkle T. Thingaling,” she said. “Why, that’s, the fairy landlord!” cried Nick. “Who can be writing to him from China?” - “And at this time of year, too!” added Mr. Stamps. “Surely nobody is house hunting now. The snow's not off the ground yet and won't be for weeks ’n’: weeks. Some of the wood folk are still in south, but most of them are in Dreamland, And I don’t know of anybody who's gone to China.” “We'll take it to Mr. Tingaling at once,” said Nick. “There is no use in guessing any longer.” So off went the Twins to the fairy landlord’s house in Whispering For- est and knocked on his front door. Mr. Tingaling was out chopping wood, but he heard them. “Well, for goodness sake!” he cried joyfully. “Look who's here! What! A letter! From China! I'll have to read it.” But Nancy and Nick him with their magical glasses, The said: “Dear Mr. Tingaling: I wood like to live in another house.
