PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT In out-iV'"- Uncommon Sense c By JOHN BLAKE . Service IROGIEIR - rare-Hel- This is one of the fine traits in human nature. It takes cover during the average run of events, but it comes out when there is a call for aid. In Carl Sandburgs fine biography of Lincoln he tells how In bis early life one of the greatest of men and of Presidents could never endure to see a hog In distress. The hogs would go down to- - the creek to drink, and become mired In the thick mud, which, had they not been helped, would soon have drawn them down to their deaths. Then the tall lanky prairie youth, driving past and observing them, would pull off his coat and sometimes the remainder of his attire, and by exerting his tremendous strength, pull the squealing porkers out on high land, ne smiled happily while they waddled away to safer footing. Little In that time did Lincoln, or anyone else, dream that before so many years he would be rescuing a great nation from destruction. Hamilton Field Air Base in California c? 1 rf Today there are many reasons for mutual helpfulness In the world. It Is a time to scrap selfishness and self seeking, and do all that can be done to keep going the movement which is to bring the world back to its feet. The vast majority of the people In America understand this. The concerted efforts that are being made to restore better conditions is the proof. There will be sacrifices and hardships. Abraham Lincoln in Indianapolis Tuning His Motors for Record Try VV.NU We are negligent of the needs and the difficulties of others only bep cause they All ly are brought to our att(rHl0n- You Can Whenever people clearly see and understand the troubles of their fellow creatures, they rarely fail to help them. I was In San Francisco within a week of the great fire that drove thousands of people from comfortable homes to seek shelter In tents beyond the fire zone. Working on a newspaper I had an ample opportunity to see how help was coming In from all sides, and to observe how the rich forgot their pride and, taking off their coats, labored twelve hours a day till all that had been dihen from their houses were supplied with shelter and food. h n Bell Syndicate - But where is the man in this wide country uho, uhde struggling himself, will not reach out a hand toward a neighbor uho is in a worse position than he? In the days of my youth there were men who could not afford laundry bills and who wore what were known as dickeys." Dickeys were shield shaped devices of linen or cotton which could be used to cover False up the triangular space which beFronts gins where the vest leaves off. But they weie not very satisfactory. They had a tendency to pull out at the corners, peimitting the public to view contemptuously the soiled while or whitish shirt underneath. They saved laundry bills for a while to be sure though In most cases It was the toll of the poor wives or mothers at home that they saved, but they were known throughout the town to be poor pretenses at respectability. And as soon as a man's financial condition Improved a little he abandoned them and went back to the old hard boiled standard. But the dickeys" supplied a lesson to some of the people In my old town which more than atoned for the embarrassment that they sometimes cost Their wearers discovered that sham was no good, that they might better have donned the old red flannel shirts which were worn by the railroad boys and truck drivers than to attempt to be something that they were not This Is not an argument In defense of the snappy dresser or of the boy who keeps hls mother at the washboard so she can save money to buy her offspring the evening suit he says he must own In order to keep up with the parade. It Is merely an effort to impress on my readers that while rags may not be "royal raiment when worn for virtues sake," It is better to stand for what yon are Instead of what you would like to be, or what heaven willing you mean to be when you get your chance. Be what you are, and dont be ashamed of It But dont use false fronts or pretenses. Even If they were not found out they would be bad for your character. And, believe me, they always will be found out probably at some time when the discovery will embarrass you almost beyond your power to stand up under It IF ear a bold front always. But be sure before you wear it that it is not m false one. BEVERLY HILLS. Well Xmas has passed. I was just thinking If there was some way to make the Xmas spirit continue during the other days of the year, would why we be the most happy and wonderful N- ation on Earth. Gosh if all of us that was able just feed and do things tor folks without would waiting till Xmas. I think we mean well, but we just sorter got in our heads that about one day a year pays our obligation off, then we swell up aud hide our Conscience till the next gift day. With all of our fact finding departments in our Government, and all our statistics gatherers, I believe you could increase generosity 100 to 1000 fold If there was some way of finding out just exactly the people that were in actual need, You could find those nearest to you who were tn want, and you would know they was In want, and you would know there was nothing they could do that would help themselves. I will bet you that every Community would be able to look after its own. Now your system would have to work two ways. If you are going to pry Into the business of the poor, to find that they actually needed help, you must pry Into the affairs of the others and see what they were doing to relieve their neighbors. You wouldent get much complaint If you knew that every dollar you gave reached a real case, and If you knew that your neighbors rich, well to do, and just ordinal y salaried ones, were all contributing exactly In a graded amount, say like income tax. A certain percent that must go to your unfortunate neighbors, and the quicker you can get them to working and off your list the better It Is tor you, then lack of employment would become everybodys business, instead of like It Is now just the business of the man who has lost his job. Well there Is a Government man, he is called C A. (Conscience Maby your Conscience says ,you should help your neighbors $1000 worth, but you cant hear It. Wrell this C A (Conscience Assistor) he hears what you should hear, but wont. He Is also In communication with your finances, so in that way he Is able to have the two act In harmony. In fact without the aid of you whatever. It shouldent be such a job to find who Is In need, and the degree that they are tn need, and It shouldent be hard to find out what the exact proportionate amount of help that each of us should give to relieve that distress. Its paid exactly like taxes. That stops us from just being a Santa Clause on Xmas. You wear whiskers and bring presents every day In the year. Instead of Just one day. People wouldent mind giving if they absolutely knew that every person In the U. S. was giving exactly In proportion to them, and that every dollar given was to go to some one who needed ft, and was not able to help themselves. Its an unemployment tax In a way, then If everybody can hustle around and cut down unemployment before next years contributions start, why the tax would be cut down In proportion. Now we are getting down toward the end and I got to start doing something about I.N.B.A.W W. Now statistics have proven t h a t we always h a v e a class of people that are looking for political or Government Jobs. Now we could let them Just tell em that they are not needed as politigo, cal and Govern ment job hunters any longer. They must take up something else. Then we put these (in need but Absolutely Wont Workers) In the P.L.F.G.J. (Perpetually Looking For Government Jobs) places, as they wont work. Why they are the very fellows to apply for these Jobs for they are not going to get em anyhow, (none of these others ever got any), so In that way they fill tn a vacancy In our scheme of life that seems to always exist, the (Perpetually Looking For Government Jobs). But I would like to see the whole system tried. You might call the scheme Conscience By Law, or If you wont be a Santa Claus, we will make one out of you. I dont believe any of us really know what our obligation Is to our fellow man. That should be established, as I say you cant go by Consciences for they vary too much. So find the needy, and tax us exactly our proportionate share to keep them, and you wont run up this tremendous national debt We pay as we go, and If Its done fair and equal like this you wont hear many kicks, and those wont be legitimate. 1VJJ.
