Benjamin Franklin's Advice
Passy, November 10, 1779
I received my dear friend’s two let¬
ters, one for Wednesday and one for
Saturday. This is again Wednesday.
I do not deserve one for today, be¬
cause I have not answered the former.
But, indolent as I am, and averse to
writing, the fear of having if no do more
of your pleasing epistles, I not
contribute to the correspondence,
obliges me to take up my pen . . .
I am charmed with your description
of Paradise, and with your plans of
living there; and I approve much of
your conclusion, that, in the mean¬
time, we should draw all the good we
can from this world. In my opinion,
we might all draw more good from it
than we do and suffer less evil if we
would take care not to give too much
for whistles. For to me it seems that
most of the unhappy people we meet
with are become so by neglect of that
caution. mean? You love

stories, and will excuse my telling one
of myself. child old,
When I was a seven years
my friends, on a holiday, filled my
pocket with coppers. I went directly
to a shop where they sold toys for
children; and being charmed with the
sound of a ivhistle that I met by the
way in the hands of another boy, I
voluntarily offered and gave all my
money for one. I then came home, and
went whistling all over the house,
much pleased with my whistle, but
disturbing all the family. My brothers
and sisters and cousins understanding
the bargain I had made, told me I had
given four times as much for it as it
was worth; put me in mind what
good things I might have bought with
the lest of the money; and laughed cried at
me so much for my folly, that I
with vexation; and the reflection gave
me more chagrin than the whistle
gave me pleasure.
was
use to me, the impression continuing
in my mind; so that often, when I was
tempted to buy some unnecessary give
thing, I said to myself, Don’t too
much for the whistle; and I saved my
money. into the world,
As I grew up, came
and observed the actions of men, I
thought I met with many, very many,
who gave too much for the whistle.
When I saw one too ambitious of
court favour, his repose, his liberty,
his virtue, and perhaps his friends,
to attain it, I have said to myself,
This man gives too much for his
whistle.
When I saw another fond of popu¬
larity, constantly employing himself
in political bustles, neglecting his own
affairs, and ruining indeed, them by that
neglect, He pays said I, too
much for his whistle.
If I knew a miser, who gave up
every kind of comforable living, all
the pleasure of doing good to others,
all the esteem of his fellow-citizens,
and the joys of benevolent friendship
for the sake of accumulating wealth,
Poor man, said I, you pay too much
for your whistle. . . .
In short, I conceive that great part
of the miseries of mankind are
brought upon them by the false esti¬
mates they have made of the value of
things, and by their giving too much
for their whistle. —From Letter to

DRUNKS CAN’T SUE ........................
Three men were killed about two
years ago in an automobile-truck
crash near Wilmington, Del. The
driver of the car, according to post¬
mortem tests, was ruled to have been
under the influence of alcohol to such
an extent as to be liable criminally.
A similar ruling was made as to one
of the passengers and the second pas¬
senger was judged to have been under
the influence of alcohol, though not
perhaps to such a great extent as the
other two.
Survivors of the two passengers
brought suit for $109,000 and the case
was tried in United States District
Court. Judge Caleb R. Layton III in
a 17-page opinion held that intoxi¬
cated passengers of an automobile
driver who is under the influence of
alcohol cannot recover damages grow¬
ing out of an accident.
Noting that the driver of the car
and his two passengers had all been
drinking heavily before the crash,
Judge Layton said that “it is no less
the duty of the passenger, where he
has the opportunity to do so, than of
the driver, to learn of the danger and
avoid it if possible ... To permit
these two passengers to recover here
would be tt miscarriage of justice . . .
they were guilty of assumption of
risk or contributory negligence, it
does not matter which.”
In the minds of many laymen, at
least, the person who gets drunk and
drives an automotive vehicle has auto¬
matically served notice that he does
not care what harm or damage he may
do. It is interesting to find a judge
extending that idea to take in drunk¬
en passengers of a drunken driver.
What learned limbs of the law may
think about such a case is beyond us,
but it does, at least, emphasize at
something like its proper gravity the
offense of being drunk in a powerful
machine.— Commercial Appeal.
on a street corner
rying watching large crowds of people hur¬
toward their various destina¬
tions, one sometimes wonders at the
peculiarities of gait among so many
people.
Often one notices a woman whose
painful hobble is a dead giveaway
that her shoes are too small. Some
will limp; some will take a flatfoot¬
ed stride that says, just as plain as
a chore painted signboard, that walking is
a accomplished only on “killing”
feet.
According to Dr. Henri L. Du Vries,
writing in the Illinois Medical Journal,
80 per cent of the shoes we wear are
the wrong size and endanger creation
of “pathologic alterations of the foot."
He claims 80 per cent of Americans
suffer from painful feet, mostly be¬
cause they persist in wearing shoes
“having a forepart with little resem¬
blance to the size and shape of the
feet on which the shoes are worn.”
Pointed Toes
It is presumed his reference is to
the pointed toes now considered high
fashion among women and until re¬
cently by style-conscious males.
Few people seem to realize that the
foot is one of the most complex as¬
semblies of bones in any body joint
mid that, in reality, is one of the most
ingeniously and constructed mechanisms
quite unlike the foot of any other
animal. For all its adaptability, it
probably is subjected to more abuse
than any other part of the body.
Not only do we clothe it with gear
which punishes rather than fits, but
we allow ourselves to gain weight and
thus work an intolerable hardship on
our feet and legs as inconsiderately
as we load down the work of our
heart and vascular systems.
