"One of the penalties of leadership is that a leader is best when people barely know that he exists, not so good when people obey and ac_ claim him, worse when they despise him. Fail to honor people, they fail to honor you. But of a good leader who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say -'We did this ourselves.'

Let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood, also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live, for it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For, in the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning, and is refreshed.-Kahlil Gibran.

The Bible speaks thus of the duties of friendship and brotherliness (from Deuteronomy): ..Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray; thou shalt in any case bring them back to thy brother . . . Thou shalt de_ liver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down.',

Katherine Tupper *"]"nlu, wife of General George Marshall, writes well, and thinks likewise. In one of her writings, she says: "To catch hold of a luscious weed and jerk it until it comes out of the ground, roots and all, gives one a very satisfied feeling of accomplishment. As I look at the piles of uprooted weeds, dying in the sun where they no longer could suck the life of the seedlings strug- gling for air, I wished that the evils of the human race could be dealt with as satisfactorily. But man is too complex to obliterate his frailties so easily. And the evil he does lives after him."

"Where you are is of no moment, but only what you are doing there. ft is not the place that ennobles you, but you the place; and this only by doing that which is great and noble."-Petrarch.

Billy Graham, thrilling evangelist, says: ,,W'e Americans need to get back to the old-fashioned idea of integrity; to be true to ideals."

Congressman Oscar Burleson, of Texas, told a grad-

uating class about the fellow who could never seem to hold a job. Said Burleson, "FIe spent his life looking for a boss as smart as he was." We offer this as the best graduating thought of the season.

Walter Davenport, ", a"rli.rq says that the last time he was in Washington a man in one of the bureaus told him the following: the head of his department had given him permission to get rid of a couple of tons of old papers, directives, documents, etc., accumulated over many years. But, said the boss, he'd have to be certain to make copies of everything before he threw it away-just in case. Ah, Washington ! What confusion is created in thv name !

This small town deale: ;J. so dumb after all. rn his store he displayed a large sign that read: ,'WE SELL HAARDWARE." A friend said to him, ,,Hasn't anyone called your attention to the spelling in that sign?', ,'Hundreds of people," said the deaier. "And almost all of them bought something before they mentioned the sign.', ***

Dionysius, the Tyrant, while eating with some Spartan soldiers, declared that the food was tasteless and insipid. He probably said that it was lousy. The Spartan chef replied that the reason it tasted so to him, was that the seasoning was wanting. "What seasoning?" asked the Tyrant. "Running, sweating, fatigue, hunger, and thirst: these are the ingredients with which we Spartans season ourfood'" * * ,<

The old country lumber dealer had finally succeeded in making a very slow customer pay his bill in full. It took some pressure, and the customer was real cross about it. He demanded that the lumber dealer write across the receipt that the bill was paid in full. The dealer wrote: "Bearer doesn't owe the undersigned a penny-and he ain't ever going to again."

Herbert Hoover's ro.J"r*.ol',-r"rio' on government cost matters, now being closed because its job is com_ pleted, says that the U.S.A. is extending assistance to more than TWO THOUSAND projects in 55 countries of the world. As a fine example of what goes on, the report mentions the fact that we are financing .,social psychology" in the Netherlands. Get it? Social psychology! Next time you look over your pay check, Junior, and notice the deductions, it will no doubt sweeten your bread and soften your pillow to remember that you are handing "the Amsterdam Dutch, and the Rotterdam Dutch, thi

Pottsdam Dutch, and all the other dam Dutch" (quoting the old song), cash to O"1"": their "social psychology."

Honest, Junior, how would you like to see a map of the mental meanderings of the giant brain that conceived that original method of wasting YOUR wages?

A lot of our money waste seems as silly as wearing two hats at the same time; and as phoney as a three-dollar bill' t<t<*

Well, the United Nations held its week-long birthday party at San Francisco, commemorating the fact that it started there ten years before. It was a complete rveek of speeches. And what a variety of speakers there were. There were speeches by patriots of the purest ray serene' high in their hopes that the UN might heal the wounds of the world, and make smiles shine on millions of faces now wet with tears.

There were speech""'uf ptitoJopn.rs, trying to discover from the musty tomes of the past some precedent in history that might point the way out of our difficulties. And there were speeches by gangsters who would, if it were within their power, tear down every brick and stone and stick from which San Francisco is built, and scorch the very earth where that city stands.

The head man of the gangsters ranted and raved in his hatred of America and all that it represents. Samson slew the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass and, using that very same weapon, this bristling spokesman for whole- sale murder, torture, rape, and human degredation of every sort, sought to lend a cloak of decency to a cause that knows none. And those whom he plastered with his insults sat there and gave him the studied respect with which a Kansas farmer treats a fast-moving cyclone' Why someone, some old-fashioned American, doesn't spit in his eye is something I have been trying to figure out for Years' must answer'

And I keep asking myself this question: was there in that assemblage which embraced a lot of mighty fine and patriotic men, anything resembling a statesman? We don't know. That question is ol.

And, listening to and reading the events of that U'N' conference, my heart was filled with the same regret I have felt so often in the past years and have mentioned often in this column, what a pity that there was no Patrick flenry, no Daniel Webster, none of the mighty orators of America's past, to rise in that assemblage and thrill the hearts and minds of Americans up to heaven itself, with patriotic utterances' For stirring, flaming, thrilling eloquence is entirely missing today in this land that needs it as never before.
