Gut Out the Alibis By UR. CHARLES 9TELZLE Executive Director, Good Neighbor League It’s easy enough to prove an “alibi” when the job should have been done— but alibis never get you anywhere— they’re generally framed up to prove that you “weren’t there.” When the. roll is called, they won’t ask you where you DIDN’T go, and what you DIDN’T do, but what did you “get across.” The difference between a rut and a grave is just six feet, but some of us don’t have to go the six foot limit to be counted among the dead onesi Most of us look for ruts^roads al ready traveled by others—so that the way will be smoother and easier. But the man who gets there first and wins the prize is he who blazes the way as a pioneer. One and one don’t make two—when you add things that aren’t alike. The belief that it does is responsible fox most of the trouble in the world to day. No one man ever exactly equaled any other man—we’re all diffex-ent in ability and character—but some people want to put us all in the same mold and treat us all alike and make us ail live in the same way. They don’t follow for individuality— and usually they want to keep the best of us in the same class with the worst of us. When you see the sign “out of order” it’s a challenge for somebody to get busy—not a certificate of ex emption. It means that something needs to be righted—not slighted. Sometimes it requires the whole force to straighten things out. And this is one of the times. It's usually in the little things that most men fall down—in the day by day tests of character. Whether you can get on with others and give credit to whom it belongs, and speak in an even tone when there’s provocation or shout in anger, and whether you are giving to others what you expect of them—an absolutely square deal— these are some of the things that show what kind of a man you are. If anyone tells you that there’s no need to become a better worker, a clearer thinker and a stronger citi zen, because some time soon there’s going to be a social revolution which will usher in the millenium, you can 1 make up your mind that he’s either a liar or a fool—fo mo matter what Trylon and Perisphere Dessert s By BETTY BARCLAY As modern as "The World of Tomorrow” Itself!

C.—A bill which would require fingerprinting of everyone in this country over 18 years of age by December 31, 1940, has been introduced in the Senate . by Senator Edwin C. Johnson. A 50 cent fingerprinting fee would be asessed and a fine of $25 established for inability to produce a fingerprint ed registration card on demand. WHY NOT? All European nations have excelled the United States in residential build ing during the last 10 years, accord ing to a WPA survey made public. If the United States raised the rate of residential housing to the level prevailing in some European coun tries, employment for at least 2,500, 000 additional workers would be pro vided, the report said. Great Pageant Will Be Staged at Kenilworth LONDON. — Kenilworth castle, which played a large role in the lives of the early kings of England and which was later used as a ro mantic setting for Sir Walter Scott’s novels, will review its history this summer in a great pageant.
