Sam Jones of Hobbs, N. M., sends in his re
newal and sends along the following bit of
philosophy he picked up somewhere:
LIFE
The certainty that life cannot be long, and
the probability that it will be shorter than na-
ture allows, ought to awaken every man to the
active prosecution of whatever he is desirous to
perform. It Is true that no diligence can insure
success. Death may intercept the swiftest ca-
reer. But he who is cut off in the execution
of an honest undertaking has at least the honor
of falling In his rank and has fought the battle
though he missed the victory.

some of them mav be called up

Married men who are not

draftees come from the third
rank.

A new hat usually gives a
woman enough courage to tell
her husband how much it cost.
Would a man be justified in
shooting his wife because she
wore curlers at the breakfast
table? There are more than
1,000,000 books in the Harvard
Law School Library, but not
one of them even considers that
question.
The reason is that the answer
is so obviously "No." There
simply is not enough room for
argument. A question can be-
come a legal issue only if it is
close.
For example, suppose the
husband claims that the shoot-
ing was accidental (I didn't
know the gun was loaded), or
that he fired iri self-defense
("She hit me first with a roll-
ing pin"l. Then there are, in-
deed, legal i-sues- issues close
enough for the lawyers to really
argue about.
fs this due to a sheer love of
hairsplitting on the part of law-
yers? Not at all. f.aw is like
that because life is like that.
Anyone who ha watched a 1.it-
tie League baseball game knows
thaf ft is the close one< which
start the squabbles and test the
mettle of the umpire.
And the world of law is,
largely, a world of close ones.
It is a world where if* and may-
hen abound, and yesses and noes
are few and far between. The
law, willy-nilly must provide
answers to questions like these:
At w'h.at point does "indif-
ference" shade into "mental cru-
elty?"
How much wear arid tear is
"reasonable?"
How fast ?s "with all delib-
erate speed?"
When does a man cros- the
line between "high" and
; "drunk ?"
No wonder one harassed
judge said that deciding such
questions is like deciding "when
a young lady get- to be an old
maid."
