Money Is But a Means To An End living The queerest stories that ever get in the newspapers are the ones which appear every' now and then telling how some miser has died of starvation or malnutrition while hanging onto a hoard of cash that would have bought enough food for a regiment. Typical of these is a case that recently came to light in New York. r An aging spinster died in a hospital after having gone without food for four week.s. The medical examiner listed her death as "suicide by starvation." As far as could be learned, the poor old woman had been so obsessed by an unreasoning fear of destitution that, she had been unwilling to spend any money on food. But she had $5279 in the bank when she died! What agonies of fear, distrust, and anxiety preceded this climax of tragic folly we can only imagine. It must take tremendous tre-mendous pressure, long applied, to turn a mind upside down so that money becomes more valuable than the things it can buv when those things it can buy are the price of life itself. But the beginnings of a thing like that are easv enough to understand. You can see them all around you. Mot of us have a hint of them in our own lives. What is involved is simply a natural confusion about the primary object of living. Every man shares in it who is too busy at his bread-and-butter job to spare time for the fundamental joys of life. Whenever we get so busy making a living that we have no time left for the living itself, we are on the same melancholy melan-choly track that this deluded spinster followed a long way behind her. Whaps, but still on the same track. Forlife is more than a mere process of getting and spending. Its highest values are never found in the pay envelope en-velope or in the dividend coupon. . These things the bits of cash we are able to win from a frequently stubborn world are only means to an end. The end is the greater richness and fullness of living; the means are important only as they lead to it. Everyone is perfectly well aware of this, of course: but how often, how tragically often, do we get mixed up about it ! Who has not seen the busy citizen, ambitious, energetic, ind eager to "get ahead,'' denying himself time with his family, fam-ily, time for those unrenumerative moments of relaxation and meditation that help a man's spirit to expand, plugging along through youlh and middle age and then, sudden! v. dying before he had had a chance to turn his achievements into happiness ! The world, as Wordsworth-remarked, is too much with us. To make life mean what it should we have to withdraw from it now and then ; we have to get our happiness as we go along. If we put it off until some indefinite tomorrow when we may have time, jve run the risk of doing as this New York woman did starving with money in the bank.

The contest a,s to civic greatness great-ness was always acute, sometimes violent. I remember a song we home-to home-to wners used to sing as a reception recep-tion to the visiting baseball nines that used to come on Saturday Sat-urday afternons to play our "Giants." "Hi yi ki yiker, there's nothing like her. "Montezuma forever plays baseball. base-ball. "Never defeated, except when cheated. "Then by no team at all." Pretty sentiment, isn't it? Can you imagine anything more unsporting un-sporting and unsportsmanlike? Even as a kid I used to shudder shud-der at the frightfulness of the insult heaped upon our guests who, as far as I could see, were pretty decent human beings much the same as we thought we were. Even if they won the ball game, our crazy song was designed de-signed to rob them in advance of any glory. This little reminiscence is written writ-ten exactly four days before the election of all elections that I have even been interested in. The date of this writing is October 30. Thruout most of the 10 months just past I have been nauseated time and time again by the unfa un-fa ii;. unsportsmanlike, underhanded under-handed tactics that have been used by certain elements on both sides of the national political I have been reminded time and time again of the barbarous little lit-tle battle song quoted above. And I have determined that whether the candidate on whom I have pinned my faith and hope wins or whether he is snowed completely under, I'm going to be the best darn sport about it that it's possible to be. If I have to eat crow I'm going to pretend pre-tend it's quail on toast. Are you with me? SCIENCE From Berlin. Germany, comes the news that syninetic candy has reached the German market. mar-ket.

Bright Moments IN GREAT LIVES Baron John Campbell, the eminent em-inent British jurist and statesman, states-man, was one Sunday attending church at Warwick. Parliament had been recessed the day before. be-fore. During the course of his prayer, began the prayer for the high court of parliament, not knowing it had been recessed Lord Campbell stood up in his pew ar.d cried out: "There is no parliament sitting!" The clergyman was very much confused, con-fused, and not understanding what had been said, started the same prayer. "I tell you, sir," cried the chief justice in a loud voice, "there is no parliament sitting!"

"And that 'something else' was a man, of course." JUDITH was astonished. "How did you guess that?" "It wasn't much of a guess. How did you happen to make this momentous decision?" "He he didn't want to marry me." This startled Eden Harris for a moment, but when he had taken another look at Judith's face he seemed relieved. "I get it.

But by that time the hus band is likely to be making enough to support her." JUDITH sighed with relief. "You don't know how good it is to hear you say that."

Rarely fatal is more accurate. You're very young and as I think I've said before very pretty. pret-ty. Other men are going to fall in love with you. A great many, I should think, now that you've given Steve the gate and the field is open. It's hard for you to believe be-lieve now, but I think the chances are good that you'll run into someone you like better even than you liked Steve." VES, Judith agreed silently, it was hard to believe. So difficult, diffi-cult, in fact, that she did not believe be-lieve it at all. Steve was the man she had loved first, and now she felt sure that he would be the only one, always and forever. Perhaps Per-haps in time the hurt would quiet a little, and the wound heal. She would be like the soldier whose wound straightens him often, but whose memory does not recall the pain, the field of battle, or the swoon against the earth.

But you needn't worry about him. He'll be in his office tomorrow, as right as rain." As Judith opened the car door, Harris put out a restraining re-straining hand. "Not a word about whether you hope you'll see me again?" Judith laughed. "I was never one to look up the rules. But doesn't Emily Post require that the lady be silent on that subject?" "That may be. But there's nothing to prevent her showing it in her eyes." Judith widened her eyes. "Well, - what do they say?" she laughed. "I "cant tell. Those are enig matic eyes, Judith Howard.
