It is good to be temperate in all things at all times, now is the time for temperate speech. Let’s not degrade ourselves by immoderate campaigning. Let’s not let ourselves down. Here is a bit of very good advice from the pen of Mr. Shakespeare: This above all, to thine own self be true And it must follow as the day the night, Thou can’st not then be false to any man.”’ Adeline Merriam Conner Just Wonderin’ I Wonder as the orators Prepare their hectic flights of speech, If we shall catch their spirit too, And add our little screech. Convention sights and sounds will soon be of the past, the wild flights of oratory will “tremble away into silence,’ and there will be a brief respite before the campaigns begin in earnest. Then, if we can judge the future by the past, all restraint will be thrown aside apnd we shall really hear something. I wish the parents of Henry Wallace had named their young hopeful, Dick. Then we, the voters, could have alluded to the presidential candidates as Tom, Dick and Harry. That would have been delightfully familiar and might have satisfied any impulse we felt for name calling and vituperation. ‘ But why should we utter sizzling speech? These men who are foolish enough to strive mightily for a thankless job are just men—men who have been found Jigible for high office, that is they have, in the eyes “their followers, and we should give them all a modiof respect and careful attention. We are at liberty to criticize them, to differ with them quite earnestly, but we need not dégrade ourselves while so doing. This ic a time for placing a guard upon our lips and seeing to it that our tongues are not forked. There are certain things which we owe ourselves. Let’s not let ourselves down.

One of the most talked of mistakes is that made by Douglass Corrigan, ‘‘Wrong Way Corrigan.’’ Ten years ago this month he took off from the Long Beach Municipal airport for New York.

two dozen hens are wearing spectacles — which he bought from a mail-order house in Capitol City. Sam says it works (and big poultry raisers say so, too). The hens see each other through soft colored glasses, and instead of fighting and picking at each other, they go around placidly, gain weight, and lay more eggs. Makes me almost wish we could have rose-colored glasses for human beings, too.
