A Lost Vision
BY B. M. ANGEL
l ew are living now who remem
ber that a frame house one stood
near the road between the Indian
mound and the old bridge over
the Tennessee river. Once, at the
age of til teen, 1 w in Franklin
and that day a gang was wrecking
that house. Starting home afoot
on East Main street, 1 could see
the wreckers and hear the slam
of timbers as they were thrown
down. About thirty yards ahead
of me was a girl, or young woman,
who stopped until I caught up. She
then said, "I see men working
yonder ; 1 wish you would go with
me until we pass them." I re
member answering, "Yes Maam."
Evidently she was embarrassed
vision for so short a time vanished
and left me sad for the loss and
glad to be relieved ot a load I
was unable to carry. The entire
episode transpired within fifteen
minutes.
She passed, and of her name J
and race left not a token at M
trace save a memory and a fancy
that will not down. Her fortune
or misfortune in life is written in
the book of fate which I am not
permitted to read. Did she grow
old? Never. After three score and
ten years she is still sixteen wail
ing for me to. come and go with
her, and her final "Thank you" is
still as fresh and comforting as a
greeting on Christmas morning

was about sixteen, medium tall,
to go alone, lest she be exposed lately past. Nothing in all the

not "make the tirade." But the youth when first he opens his
girl answered my trivialities with eyes on all the glamorous world '
graciousness, sympathy and polite
ness as though my words were
about him and his soul responds to
the enchantment of a beautiful

taking care of me more than I was
of her.
We passed the men demolishing
the house, crossed .the bridge and

ADVERTISING . ... . om faulty
I find more fault with a great
deal of the advertising that is being
done than with the movies. Much
of it, when it isn't an effort to be
'smart" is pure silliness.
No advertising is as good as
plain, unvarnished statements of
the truth about the advertised prod
uct and this is important the
price. But when I see advertise
ments which make extravagant and
unwarranted claims I wonder if the
advertiser thinks he is really fool
ing anybody.
It would be a good idea, it seems
to me, to introduce into "the early
grades of the public schools some
sort of education in advertising. 'In
this practical world, nothing is
more important than to know real
values and how to determine them.
It could easily be impressed upon
the minds of children that certain
types of advertising are only traps
for the ignorant, and thai goods of
quality are never offered for less
than they are worth.

THIS NEW YEAR OF 1935
New Years have a way of roll
ing around with remarkable reg
ularity; we toil through the year
till it is gone. Its disappointments,
successes, losses, gains are all now
things of the past.
We should not treaure unpleas
ant memories. To do so is to in
vite sleepless nights, headaches and
weakened nerves for the struggle
of tomorrow which is sure to ar
rive. We have no right to the past;
it is not ours any more as it once
was. All that belongs to us now
is the future. The business man
will have little time for the untried
experiment; his years of experience
have brought him many valuable
treasures to which he will cling
with all his might
His best medicines will remain in
his cabinets within easy reach. He
must fight unerringly in his battle
for human life and health against
the forces of quackery, fraud and
heartless commercialism.
I am, of course, interested in the
career of the honest family doctor.
He is, in a sense, the guardian of
the life and health of his commun
ity. From a nation-wide acquain
tance with family doctors, I have
learned that they are SAFE MEN,

AMERICA ..... ttai teajdo
Every little while I rediscover
America, and realize again what a
wondrful country it is.
The other day I dropped into a
New York sporting goods store,
and ran into two people I knew.
One was buying heavy woolen
socks and cap, to take along to a
ski-ing party in the New Hamp
shire mountains. The other was
about to start for Florida, and was
getting a new bathing suit.
That same evening I met two
other friends. One has a news
paper job in Paris and comes home
once a year for a vacation. The
other is an English journalist who
had just got back from a three
months tour of the United States.
"I'm going to tell England that
America is the happiest, most pros
perous country' in the world," said
the latter: while the man from
Paris painted a word-picture of the
war-terror of the people of France
that was little less than shocking.

Two things surprised me. One was
the enthusiasm for Shakespeare's

ignorance that Shakespeare had
been "anything, but an actor, writ

When I told them for every per
son who had ever seen one of
Shakespeare's plays on the stage
there were probably thousands who
had read and re-read them still for
their literary quality, many of my
hearers were amazed.

literature rests on the firmest of
foundations. His writings were the

METROPOLIS .... simple life
The average American thinks of
New York as a city of gay fri
volity. That is because he sees
and hears of only the part of it
that is staged for the entertain
ment of visitors from out of town.
In the Winter I "hole up" in one
of the old parts of New York
where everybody knows each other
and most of us live simply, in an
cinet houses, and take life easily.
One of my neighbors, nearly 80,
lives still in the house in which he
was born.
