“Few of us are able to do things just right,
every day. We are tempted to re-adjust Our
standard of excellence to meet competition or
changing business conditions. We admire the
man who sets his standard high and successful-
ly resists the temptation to lower it. Others
may adulterate their products and shake a few,
customers loose with the bait of a lower price,
but the man of high moral courage holds fast
to his ideals.” -
The first function of business is to perform a.
service at a profit. We.are not making head-
way unless business can be successful and con-
tribute to social progress at the same time.

residents were struck by the strange
coincidence connected'wlth the re;
port from Stamford of the wierd tale
of being‘doped and thrown from his
own Packard automobile 1by live
sailors he had befriended, told-by
George‘ Morley of ‘Boston. abs-other
of “Mike". Morley of Hartford. well
known 'boxer. The strange .thing
about the affair from a ‘Stratford
vieWpoint is that "who" Morley.
brother of the man now in Stam-
ior‘d hospital. was himself picked
up on Ferry boulevard, Siratford.
April 13. ill about the sa'me‘cohdi-
tion in which the Boston man was
found Wednesday by Dr. Ralph
White of New Canaan. -It'was not
until Saturday that the Boston man
recovered consciousness fully enough
to tell a. connected story of what had
happened to him.
"Mike" Morley, after being found
in broad daylight April 18 stretched
out at the side of Ferry boulevard
apparently suffering from the enects
of some strange drug, was taken to
Bridgepbrt hospital and remained
there for several days before he re-
covered sulhclently .to f be taken
back to his home in Hartford. He
was never ableto tell 'just what. had
happened to him. While his case
was at first thought to be one of col-
lapse from drugs or alcohol. Morley
on recovering consciousness could
remember nothing which would lend
credence to this conclusion. The
case was accordingly put'down as a
COIN-vac from sunstroke.

to their station. , .
- Morley says. he told the sailors
to get lilt0~hls .car and started up
the Boston Post road from New
York. After a short stop at Port
Chester. he says. he. allowed one or
the sailors to drive. as he felt ill-ed.
One of the strangers provided him
with a cigarette and after taking a.
few "drags” on‘the cigarette he says
hismemory failed him. His head
began towhirl and he sank into ud-
consciousness. « . . . . .
When picked up at the side of the

some kind of powerful narcotic. He
was minus his watch. a ring. and all

You remember the oificsrs were
chasing the three animals all over
the dirigible. ’
“'hilc this was going on. the di-
arigiblo had quietly glided into- its
hanger and was quickly being tied
up. An aviator was chasing Stub-
'by with a long-handled brush when
a man on the outside opened a door
:m the side of the dirigible just as
;Siullby was passing and quick as a.
git-ink he took advantage of it and
‘jumped out. much to the surprise
for the man who had opened it. Af-
‘tcr him came Button and Billy. and
when the chums' feet touched terra
firma again they lost no time in
leaving that. aviation field.
I‘Vllen they had found a pies.
quiet. safe place to rest and were
reviewing this last adventure. Billy
said. "Nu more dirigibles for me! I
never want even to see one again!"
, "Nor I!" said Stubby. ”I am one
mass of black and blue bruises from
hitting the furniture and door lambs
as I rolled from ‘onc end of that
long saloon to the other." "
"And I still feel sick from ham:-
ing with my head down so long
when that old dirigible traveled
upside down." declared Button.
After the chums llad rested and
had a bath in a nearby lake. they
lay down in a nice shady place to
plan what they would do next.
"I think the first thing I should
do." said Billy. "is to send a mes-
sage to Nannie that the three of us
are alive and well and are on our
Way to the old farm. and to ask
her. Billy Junior. Daisy and the
Twins to start for Chicago. where
we will meet them in Lincoln Park
as soon as we 'get there. It will
take them as long to come the short
distance from Fon.du Lac to Chi~
cago as it will take us to travel all
the way from New York State. as
they will have to 'travel slower.

sides, Nannie is not so young as she
was and cannot stand the hardships
of a. hurried trip. I don't believe
