The highways were strangely l dear of these ding*rout characters that partlcoUr afternoon thaae major offenders were playing In extra good luck on that particular

day.

But the Inspectors did business Just the mme.

IMAGINATION TN ALL that has to do w.th masterful effort and extraordinary achievement. there must first b** in the mind of the prospective operator, an Imaginative activity. In order to write a hook or a play It la necessary In the beginning f th* work of either, to set our Imagination to work, going carefully step by step over the plots and charac erm, and picturing them to the limit of our ability -as they appear when they make their obeisance to the public, for whose entertainment they have been produced. This same principle applies to every form of labor, whether by the hand or the brain, the man or woman possessing the greater power of Imagination having a decided advantage over those who constantly have to be told what to do and guided at every turning point. The artist first visions his picture before he mixes his colors and takes up his brushes; the architect sees !n bis mind the outward form and proportions of o building or a bridge, prior to making the preliminary sketches, and so It goes at tbe start of everything created. Without Imaginative activity the world would soon retrograde. Cities would become unsightly, there would be no music or art, no schools or colleges—nothing to give Inspiretl00 to the young and urge them on to surpass their riders. The force of will, unless It Is supported by Imagination, rarely accomplishes anything shore the ordinary— never pens a poem that will go down the ages, never chisels a statue whose "race and charm excite enduring adoration. n~.«c writes a song that million* of people love to sing over and over again long after the hand that wrote It Is turned to uBri, The Pyramids, tho
