WHEN OFTIMISM IS NOT HELP (Pensacola Journal) Suicide has a tragic quality all its own, unlike that which attends any other form of death. Relatives and friends are not only left to mourn a departure from life; they are forced to think that life itself, through some misehance, had got so unendurably diffieult that the st?ongest of ail instincts, the instintet of self preservation, had been killed. » Robert E. Farley, former president of the New York state Rotary Club,’ was fouhd hanging from a rafter in his home the other day. And what gave his death a peculiarly tragic quality was the fact that only three weeks ago He had written, forthe Rotary Club. magazine,:a code for living. In it he included these rules; “Don’t worry—smile; laugh it off; serve with sactifice; do it now and have peace; relax—ease mind, nerves and mus- cles; do not get out of poise; get next to God and stay there; think of the things that make you happy and not of the thitigs that make you sad.” Tt was a code. He had it printed on cards and hung them where hé could see them: constantly. Afid somehow, when things went badly wrong, the code seems to have been a broken reed. There are | philosoplies that will carry a man through almost any despondency; this one, appar- ently, wasn’t of that kind. And one is moved to wonder if the code did not, perhaps, share a little too greatly in a very common American fault —the habit of persistently looking only on the bright side of things. Such admonitions as “laugh it off” and “think of the things that make you happy” are very fine wheén all one’s troubles are minor ones. But most of us aren’t lucky enough to have only that kind of trouble. Sooner or later we get badly bumped; and when we do we are apt to go under unless, we have learned how to look the very worst in the face without flinching. , We ate, or we try to be, a nation of optimists. It has made us a likeable and friendly people. But it has also left us valnerable to sudden shocks..

After several years of discussion a treaty was signed by Canada and the Unit- ed States looking to the preservation of Niagara Falls and a joint board recom- mended a $7,500,000 program for this pur- pose, after an investigation of conditions. The rate of erosion was found by the board to be not so great as was feared, be- ing very slight on the American side and ftom three to four feet a year on the Horse- shoe. Extensive protective works were recommended, however, in connection with which it is believed that considerable, ad- ditional water may be diverted for power purposes without affecting the scenic beauty. of the Falls. ‘. Much arixiety has been felt coneern- ing the possibility of a serious impairment of the gtandeur of this great natural spec- tacle, therefore the aetiéh of the to gov: ernments in providing for its preservation Will be approved by the people of both countries. A DESERVED HONOR Few Americans ever heard of Dr Charlies Guillaume, a French scientist, re- cently awarded a special medal by the British Physical Society for the discovery of three important metal alloys. Yet one of these, called platinite, is said to save nearly $5,000,000 annually in the manufac- ture of electric light bulbs. Another is elinvar, an improved alloy used in the manufacture of watch springs; while the third is invar, a nickel-steel pro- duct whith is practicaly free from expan- sich or contraction by change in tempera- ture, therefore of great value in the manu- facture of metal surveyor’s tapes, clock pendulums ond other articles requiring sta- bility of length. Scientists like Dr. Guillaume are la- boring constantly to adapt new forces and new materials to the service of mankind, and the advance of civilization is due large- ly te their skill. and patience. They ate entitled to all the rewards and honors which may be bestowed upon them, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SOOCCSOCOSOOSOSETES CLOVE TLE TELE UES SESE CEECCee Daily Cross-word Puzzle OO 00SO00 SHO CC ODEO COODDRORDEZOROEEOCOSOMIESCONSE acadss Solution of Yesterday's Puzzie : © 25.
