MAN'S SEVEN MISTAKES Alan's imperfections lead him to make many mistakes in life, and the pointing out of these frailties has engaged the attention of philosophers and reformers in all ages. A recent writer on .-rates what he considers to be the seven greatest mistakes of man, as follows: 1. The delusion that Individual advancement is made by clashing oth era down. 2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected. . 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it. ? 4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences in order that important things may be accomplished. 5. Neglecting development and refinement of the tnind by not acquiring the habit of reading. 6. Attempting to compel other per sons to believe and llye as we do. 7. The failure to establish the habit of saving money. This appear to be a pretty fair .diagnosis of what is the matter with us, and everyone might profitably check up on' himself In the' light of these suggestions. THE TRAGEDY OF EXCESSIVE TAXATION If anyone wishes to know why industry is finding it difficult to go a head these days, he can find' one potent reason in the gigantic tax burden. The American Federation of , Investors recently made a study of 160 representative large corpora-; Hons, involved in every leading line of business. The tota assets of these companies amounted to nearly $42,,000,000.000. Their capital has been fit r? WW 4 Vl /wl Ku t? 1 OA AAA iiw hioiu^i uj u,ii'u.uuv oiiui cii'muci a, moat of them small investors with less than 100 shares of stock. Thelt total number cf employes was 3,17i. 000 In 1937. In that year, the compales pat J their common stockholders an aver age of $1.45 per share. And their tax bill amounted to $2.0? for each share of common stock outstanding?close to double as much as was received by the companies" owners. Putting it another way, these 150 typical large corporations paid taxes amounting to $291 for each common shareholjer, and $514 per employe. Those cold figures tell a tragic story. Excessive taxation is depriving investors of revenue that would flow intc the stream of commerce, creating purchasing power and business opportunities. It is depriving a legion of workers of productive Jobs. It is an ever-growing barrier in the road of progress. GAINING ON DEATH During the first six month of this year. 3,670 automcbilc *<aths were prevented in this country! That Is based on a comparison of motor vehicle deaths in the first half of 1938 as against the same period It 1937. The decline in fatalities that began last November carried tlvrou gh encouragingly into July. So far so good. But, as the National Safety Council points out. "Tbtr is no time to quit tn our fight fosafety. This Is Just the beginning." We've won a partial victory.

There will be no time for standing still anJ praising past achievements In safety. until December 31 has passed, and the figures are all In. A saving of 3,670 lives is a magnlf icent thing. And It shows that traiflc accidents, can be sharply reduced. During the first, half of this yeat there was more and better organized community and state safety woru than ever before. We are learning what courteous, "fixless" law enforcement can do. And we are alsc '.earning the excellent results that ollow better traffic engineering ami scientific- traffic control.

The Menace of Autocracy By RAYMOND PITCAIRN The world, as this Is written, gazes shocked and amazed at new and dramatic evidences of the dangers Inherent In autocratic rule. That humanity should be shocked la natural. But that it should be surprised is less understandable. For mora than a century and a half It has seen, In the great American epic, that where the people rule- where the portunity are "free us? hare attained high standards of Bring and liberty and For many centuries it has known that where the reins ef power are graepud in the hands ef one?or a few?the Individual Is sppresssd, religion suffers, freedom languishes, and the people are sacrificed en gross altars of hatred and These are natural outgrowths of the soils In which the two contrasting Ideas of government?Democracy and Autocracy?are nourished. The first, Democracy, Is founded ea PsKh; the second, modern Autocracy. Trow out af D so pair. The Int leaks with confidence to the Rut ore; the ascend, with apprehension at the Past. The first seeks te govern through reason and progress; the second, through blind acceptance and rsgrssslin. The first bases Its strength en the freedom of the people; the second, on tho- thlekneae of the chains that shaekle them. There are other differences. One, modern Autocracy, glorifies that oold abstraction, the State; the other, Democracy, that warm rfeahty, the family. One glorifies the barracks, the other the iMMBw; one, terrorism, the other, tolerance; one. the weapons and conquests >f war, the other the tools and achlevementaof peace. One breeds hunger and desperation, the other, comfort and confidence. HshoTthe*yrtnelpto^d*(uTsrnmsal*by thoP?p|?

She sat on a chair with 1 knees drawn up, peering in * tently into the glass, turning her | face front side to side and uttering little gasping cries of dismay from time to time. At firBt glance you wondered whether she was child or woman, with her rich, touseled, glinting hair, her slender childish form, But if you had once glimpsed the shimmering pools in her eyes, sensed the quiet hurt behind their sparkling gaiety, you knew she was a woman in whom the child had never died. "Six o'clock, seven o'clock, eight o'clock," Peter chanted outside her door. "Gaby, <ars you up? If you aren't up I'll be late for the concert, I shan't be able to play. If I don't play we go to the poorhouse." Then he rushed Into the room and seised her while she squealed in protest. T was looking for wrinkles,"" she complained. "1 have got lots of wrinkles." "Bosh!" he said, ruffling her hair and kissing her. "If you have got wrinkles I can't see none." "Oh." sht cried, "It's very sad "Oh, Peep*, I hav Indeed. I (urn got wrinkles.

"Either or?" he echoed lifting hit head from the plats. "Darling, either the black one 01 the white one." *T think 'either' Is more dignt fled," he told her.

When the last chord had been played, he bowed grace- 1 fully to the storm of applause, then v turned and approached Peter and ( offered him his ohtthrust hand. Oaby, standing on the sidewalk 1 after the ooncert, sensed a tremendous compulsion that bade her go back. "Where Is Peter?" -she said turning to Christine, "I'm going to i look for him." , But onco In the corridors behind J stage sho wandered aimlessly until a she stood before a door she did not * remember. She knocked. "Come in," a voice bade her. And she opened BBoouoMjSj e t I minions of icrrinkle*/" ? the door to look straight into the face of Miguel del Vayo, not five feet, from her. .
