It ts in combating the effect of this an- tagonism that your real friends are of greatest value. Their confidence in you will create a sort of a pro- |tective atmosphere about you; will help you forget the slurs and at- tacks of petty humans. I remember one Instance, when the confidence of my friends help- ed me immensely in winning a |race. I had entered the quarter. jmile contest at Lafayette, Penn., jon the Schuylkill river. At that time, of course, I had developed enough poise and assurance to car- ry me thru public contests. I was no longer bothered by a haunting \fear of vague bogies, but one ts never sure of the outcome of a race.

Doctor Jordan appealed to the courts In the matter and the trial of the case which followed, in the Superior Court, produced evidence of a character that caused Judge Walter M. French to award a decision to Doctor Jordan, restoring to him his leense. Judge French stated in his decision: The court cannot find In this case that any credulous or fanovant persons have been deceived.
