Mental attitudes are as varied as there are people. The Maine man is not the first who has dug his own grave. Others have done the same thing, all of which goes to show that you can never tell what quirk wiil manifest itself. If it is not in accordance with your way of looking at things, don’t become too critical, because your viewpoint about something else may | appear queer to others, However, probably the motive that prompts a man to dig his grave is to try to convince others that he does not fear death. In that regard, Dr. Samuel Johnson declared that the lower one’s mentality | the less fear he has of dying, and that a man of extensive knowledge has a horror of death, when that subject oceurs to him, because he is more capable of appreciating what annihilation means. Johnson, even a few months before he died, mourned that the thought of dying was a “dreadful thing,” but death treated him kindly, as it has everybody else, who was not in pain, with a small percentage of exceptions. Throughout his life during his adult rs, Johnson had a horror of death, yet four days before he died he be- came resigned to leaving this world. He was conscious up to a few minutes before he passed away, and one of the last things he said was that the God who gave him life on earth would take care of him after he left for the Great Beyond, Socrates maintained that everything has its opposite, and that death, as the op- posite of life, should not be fraught with fear. If Plato’s account of Socrates’ drink- ing hemlock is true, Socrates had no more fear of dying than he had of living. Death to him was the coming of sweet sleep after a life filled with ups and downs. The wife, who snatches her husband’s pay-check, can hardly expect the old fel- low to continue to say it with flowers and candy. ONUS ON COSTA RICA a The recent flare-up between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, which led the former country; to’ ‘invoke the 1947 Treaty, of Rio de’ Janeiro, has been. someWhat clarified by a report issued by a preliminary com- mission of the organization of American States. In its report, the Commission blamed both sides in the dispute, but, according to the Associated Press, laid heavier em- phasis on Costa Rica’s part. The govern- ment of that country was accused of giv- ing “material and oral aid” to the Carib- bean Legion which has the avowed pur- pose of overthrowing some governments, including the Nicarauguan regime. At present a five-men international military commission is visiting the two countries to see that they refrain from “all kinds of hostile acts.”” Apparently, the fighting has died down but five or six othex nations are hoping that the adven- turous Carribbean Legion will be curbed because they fear it might try to start trouble in their areas. In connection with the squabbles that upset the Republics in this hemisphere, south of the United States, the main in- terest of the United States is the establish- ment and maintenance of peace. It is futile for the present to expect anything like popular self-government to function in most of the areas and the best that can be expected is that little democracies will evolve during the future years, It’s | something worth humor, ust as easw to fill your mind with while as with rancid EMPLOYMENT TO DECLINE During the war years, there was much apprehension lest the transition to peace- time production would be accompanied by an extraordinary number of unemploy- ed. Consequently, legislation was passed designed to cushion the return of veter- ans into civilian life. The prediction that the nation should have 60,000,000 employed workers was considered somewhat far-fetched, but the figures show that employment reached an all-time peak of more than 63,000,000 in July. While some adjustment is expected to take place in 1949, with fewer jobs than in 1948, the total of employed persons is expected to be close around the 60,000,000 \ mark, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL: DERAILED (P) Wireph THE SEABOARD AIR LINE’‘S ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL, northbound from Florida, was wrecked at Milford, Va., when 10 cars of the 17-car all-Pullman train derailed. Twenty-three persons, including Mrs. Paul Whiteman, wife of the famed orchestra leader, were sent to a Fredericksburg, Va., hospital. All but nine, however, were released later in the-dav and doc tors said none of those still hospitalized was in a serious con- dition. Cause of the derailment has not been determined. ‘ARRIVES AT COURT oto MALLARD WIDOW srmeny (P) Wirept oto.

A HELICOPTER IN NIGHT FLIGHT THE U. S. NAVY HELICOPTER HO3S1 is ready to take off at Washington on a night flight—and what a sight to see! The tips of the whirling rotor are equipped with lights which give this grotesque appearance as the “copter” ascends. The broad, nearly vertical light path is made by the exhaust. The ship is based at the Naval Air Test center at Patuxent, Md ! one. | I mean, any signs that. . : Chapter 18 | “FAVE you still got the stuff you took off DeFoe?” I asked Bierman. “Certainly we have,” he came right back. “And I'm asking it.

I simply shrugged. “Could be yes, and could be no,” I said. “So i'd still like to take a look at the stuff. And you can watch me look at it, of course.” He didn’t answer. He put out a hand and flip; up the switch of his inter-office com-box, “Bring in the st found on that Frenchman, DeFoe,” he told the other end. I grinned when he snapped off, and leaned back in his chair. Then, while we both twaited. I added, “By the way, amy report on the time Cardeur slid put of it all?” Bierman nodded. “About nine o'clock last night,” he said. Then, with just the ghost of a grin, “At that time you were where?” I took it for the rib it was and grinned back at him, I “Bull's eye!” [ said. “And eon nig back at hi “You really don't, Barnes?” he gave me the compliment off his| asked slowly. left hand. “When you don’t know something, Usually it’s a good one.” “Like this time, huh?” I grinned. | Bierman’s shoes. “Like this time,” he nodded. “DeFoe had been searched.
