The Search for Happiness Pondering the peculiarities of human nature, a psychology professor at an eastern university advances 10 new command- ments with a view to helping the American people enjoy the current year. He believes their observance would help indi- - Niduals get “more zest out of life.” Here they are: “1—Keep rested. ‘ “2—Don’t be too ambitious. “3—Don’t fret about how little book-learning you have. “4—Don’t be too conscientious. “S3—Don’t fight against human nature. “6—Have a few troubles and a little pain. “7—Be your age. “8—Don’t let others or yourself bluff you into being timid. “9—Get into a job which you like doing. “10—Look to the future rather than the past.” As guides to an enjoyable life they may be all right, but, as often is the case, it is easier to postulate some of these things than to observe them. For example, commandments seven, eight and nine cover ideas which all of us would like to put into pracfice, but they represent things which are, in some cases, almost impossible to achieve because of the weaknesses of the flesh and the fact that this is a hard and uncompromising world. \ Some of them may be a little hard to interpret, such as the fourth and fifth. Would anyone sufficiently eminent to hold , @ chair in a university have the race yield to all of its instincts, no matter what they might be; dismiss all of its inhibitions as Hg outmoded, no matter what basis there is for them? s There may be some virtue in this proposed set of rules but they make a poor substitute for the original 10 commandments. \ Observance of the latter, out of date though they may » seem, would seem to offer a better chance for happiness, both 4 here and hereafter. ‘ Proof of the Comeback ‘ If business needs cheer other than that already visible on if the commercial horizon, it may be found in the manner in which ¢ Americans are not only buying new goods but paying their bills.

D. and Scenes | Behind the rying’ in Democrat Drive By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan, 15. — Roosevelt will make many more speeches this year and most of them will be “fight- ing speeches” after the manner of his address to congress. That address was the kickoff of the campaign and the president has decided that he will have to carry the ball and make the gains himself. There will be support from other New Deal orators to help equalize the pressure of constant Republican at- tack, but it will be of distinctly sec- ondary importance. F. R.’s friends speak of “a one-man campaign.” Secretary Ickes and probably Harry Hopkins will be among the other pleces of New Deal heavy artillery. They like to fight and they know how. There's a demand for a strong east- ern Irishman to “take care of” Al Smith and the Irish in New York and New England. x # % Speech F, R.’s Own Work “The ‘skipper’ wrote it himself,” in- sist the insiders. Usually_when such a speech as this address to congress is to be made, a half dozen important fellows in the administration throw their contribu- tions into a hopper and Dr. Raymond Moley talks it over with the president, mulls over the material, and makes a literary document on which the presi-' jdent reads copy and makes revisions. 'Then the group of “ghosts” eagerly awaits the final draft, to see how many of their precious paragraphs were left in as written. This time Moley’s job was almost | confined to a couple of commas. In- stead of writing the first draft, as usual, he merely looked it over. He may or may not have suggested that it didn’t exactly chime with his own hymns of New Deal-Big Business conciliation, which he long has been singing at Roosevelt's behest. Foreign Entanglements 5, 1936 Roosevelt had literally locked him- self in for nearly a week to bat out the document. Members of that small inner group, any one of whom can get in to see Roosevelt virtually at any time, found great difficulty in reach- ing him, One or two were permitted to sug- gest ideas, but the only authentic in- stance of a contributor seems to be that of Administrator Morris L.

Roosevelt seized on those paragraphs and made them the final words of his text. It was the second speech Roosevelt had written almost single-handed in recent weeks. The other was the one he made at the Georgia homecoming celebration. ee # It's Bare Knuckles Now The speech—and no New Dealer would have the nerve to deny Repub- lican insistence that it was a political address — was Roosevelt's answer to many months of pleading by his closest intimates and advisers that he “get out and fight that gang,” and give up all hope of conciliating his enemies in Wall Street and industry. Until quite recently he kept putting them off, insisting that he would get eround to it, but that the “timing” of his opening salvo was important. Let the “enemy” stick its neck out. and meanwhile start to fighting in its own camp, Roosevelt said, and there'd be plenty of time to start the coun- ter-offensive, Adverse results in the Literary Di- gest poll are believed to have spurred him on, but meanwhile some of his advisers privately had expressed belligerent, challenging position. en No Holds Barred The New Deal lieutenants accept the speech as an acknowledged signal for all hands to turn loose against the Liberty League, Wall Street, indus- trial, and Hearst opposition. You'll hear much of how Jefferson, Jackson, and Wilson fought the “spe- cial interests” and the forces of “en- trenched greed.” The effect of Roosevelt's change in tactics is not yet apparent. Most of his followers here are rather ecstatic about it, however, and insist Roosevelt has again proved himself the most brilliant political leader of | his time, And they're immensely relieved by what they consider the assurance that Roosevelt won't count on “smil- ing himself into re-election.” (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.) BIT OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN IS RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN Senator Foolzem was finishing his speech before the Coon Lake Women’s Club, “This year,” the Senator shouted, “I have decided to appeal only to the Most intelligent and most beautiful of my constituents for support. That is why I am asking the ladies of Coon Lake to give me their pledge of support,” He got them—100 per cent. Jimmy—But why do you keep on calling me Charlie? Didn't I tell you my name was Jimmy? Elsie—Of course, how stupid of me. But I keep on thinking this is Wed- nesday night. “Now,” said the school teacher, “give me a definition of space.” | Junior stood up flustered and red, “Space,” he began, “ls where there is but I have it in my head all right.” | Two somewhat intoxicated gentle- {men were standing near the water's edge when one lost his balance and fell in. “Help!

A couple of years ago a similar move was started to run the Missouri right into Devils Lake and we'd have a little inland ocean all our own. Funds were raised —Sheridan county dropping its mod- est donation of six hundred dollars in the collection plate —stenographers were hired, Pullman reservations to Washington, D. C., were made and delegations of plainsmen with stiff collars and shoes that pinched their feet invaded the world’s most beau- tiful capital city. But the delegations ran into a cul de sac, which is a twin-sister of an impasse, and when you run into either of these things, girls, you're up against something you can’t climb over, or crawl under or go around and the only thing to do is to get right out of the car and walk ie.

As pointed out, here re- cently, in one of the greatest hospitals in the country the injection or am- bulant treatment is now employed almost exclusively for hemorrhoids, and rarely 1s any type of operation done on such patients. In my judgment the orthodox surgical attack on hemorrhoids is an atroc- ity to which only an uninformed or misinformed individual will submit.

Some people claimed, which means the opposition press, that the engi- neers could have found a foundation if they’d put their backs into the work and dug deeper, and they also intimated that we could have landed the sixty-five million dollar plum if there hag been more voters in the state who craved a more abundant to the throne, 20 To relleve. 21 God of tove.
