Joe refuses to be broken up. In fact, he appears to be shatter-proof. At least he's impervious to the attack launched by pretenders to the heavyweight throne. It is true that some of them had no attack, others were paralyzed by fright and the rest relied on a divine providence to protect them from the black scourge. But that wasn't Joe's fault -he fought them as they came, drawing no line and refusing no bouts. you are 15c. 6319 The Brown Bomber's last two fights clearly indicate his standing in heavyweight ranks.

Ten Years Later. But now, 10 years married, with the thirties beginning to slide by, with Ed taking everything quietly for granted, and only articulate when dinner isn't satisfactory or little Ned sleeps too late in the mornings-now comes a_ pause. And somehow the wife and mother knows that it is a dangerous pause, and that something must be done about it or it may have lasting and serious results. ‘Floyd' leaves the house at eightthirty,'? writes a Kansas wife. "I go to the door with him and kiss him good-by. Then I get the two boys off for school, and turn back into my quiet house for morning dust, planning of meals. At noon I have a cup of soup or malted milk and a sandwich, and afterward lie down and rest for awhile. Then perhaps shopping, a movie, a club meeting, a hospital call. "At five, I am occupied in the kitchen, with the table to set. Floyd is home, and there is quiet talk of what he did all day and what I did, not either interesting or important to either hearer, and then we settle down to evening paper and radio, or, on rare occasions, have guests for dinner and bridge-very poor bridge all 'round, with nobody sure of the scoring-or Floyd goes out and I am alone.

Not illness, not trouble, not money worry, but just insufferable dullness. Life for Betty goes on without excitement, without thrill. The kitchen routine proceeds placidly; the children go to school; Ed comes home and has his dinner and goes out to his lodge meeting. Betty helps the boy and girl with homework, turns on the radio, yawns, mends a sweater and then decides to go to bed. Sometimes this even flow of uneventful days frightens an _ intelligent woman. Earthquake, flood or fire might horrify her, but at least they would find her active, adequate, swept off her feet in the sudden new demand. But monotony scares her. She remembers other days, eager joyous days of girlhood, dances, laughter, the glory of her engagement and marriage, the fun of showing off the new house, of telling her friends that she and Ed were expecting a baby. The baby's coming, too, was an occasion never to be forgotten; the flurry of getting him started; the happy, wearying absorption in his needs, and the needs of the second baby.

It is a correspondence with elements that are supernatural. Call this thing whatever you like-Karma, Yogi, mental healing, the infinite, Oneness-it means that you recognize some influence higher than a merely earthly influence, and your values in life are formed on something higher than a_ purely earthly scale. Most of us call this imponderable, infinite, intangible but very real presence, God. We don't attempt to analyze Him, work Him out on charts and graphs; we merely go into that stillness called prayer now and then, and await with perfect confidence a renewal of life within us; a new sense of potentiality, trust, and above all delight and eagerness in the outwardly dull routine of every day. The Happiest People. The happiest persons in this bewildered world, in fact the only happy ones, are those who have found this secret for themselves, and revel in that unbounded glory of living which the orientals call "bliss." You can live in three rooms in a crowded tenement, and possess it. You can be the wealthiest woman in the world and miss it completely. Yet it's open enough to find, and it costs nothing. Ask, and you shall receive it, and to repeat, it costs you nothing. It can be yours. Once this is achieved, a thousand interests and indeed fevers possess you. You want to live forever, so that you may have time to read a thousand books; accomplish a thousand prison reforms and live to see them work; establish a Spanish class at 25 cents a lesson and watch it grow until you are besieged with class and radio engagements; plan a garden, and glory in its beauty; build a backyard grill and entertain the boys and their friends there; find an old country place and move into it, and have chickens and a cow; raise fine-bred Persian kittens; gather a circle of their friends about your boys and be sure that the group in which they grow to young manhood is a safe group; study beekeeping, astronomy, bookbinding; put up fancy preserves and sell them. Or, under state supervision, take three or four small children to board. The state pays much more than they cost and the work of building little citizens is a valuable one. Or go. into politics, by the simple process of attending a meeting or two, accepting a position on some committee, and contributing your mite toward a better and wiser administration of your local affairs.
