Young, ore of t! > doctors. ‘As to his mental vigor,” the ph -ician adds, “tt is simply prodigious.”) The bruia is a kind of automatic switchboard, enormously complex, that determines what muscies and glands will be stirred to action by the cifferoxt sigh, sounds, smells and other im- ioue that are made upon it through the id so it contains various “sensory” and * + veas—a zl center” at the back,| through «hich impre.-‘ons from the eyes must come, f the: are to affect one’s conduct; an “guditor, centr” at each side, connected with the ears; a cenier for smell, buried under the sur- face of the brain behind the nose, and a whole series of sensations of touch from the different parts of the body. These last lie just behind the Fissure of Rolando, which slopes downward and forward from the top of the head; and right in front of them are the “mtor centers,” through which the currents go that move legs and feet, arms, hands, fingers and tongue to orderly and useful action. If we suppose that a current going through one series of nerve cells and fibers feels a little dif- ferent from a current going through any other (and there are thousands of millions of them), we can describe a thought as the kind of complex feeling that one has when a nervous current is traveling along any -particular combination of paths, whether a person is really acting or only rehearsing an act. Thus thought and action are intimately con- nected, and it is possible to understand how a blood clot, or “thrombus,” in the brain can some- times interfere more or less with both until it is absorbed or a new pathway is found for nervous currents going to the old destination. The smaller the clot and the further it is along the path to- ward a muscle, the less it is likely to interfere with thought. | Curiously enough, the right arm and leg are Controlled mainly from the left side of the brain, and vice versa. And there is a place, well past the central switchboards, where fibers to arm and leg come so close together that a very slight trouble can affect them both, while doing little or no injury +) the brain as a whole. EUROPE HOLDS BACK Europe says it is waiting for America to sign the peace treaty. Eurcne is holding back too much. Eurene should yo ahead and show America the :.:. Tl: trans-Atlantic diplomats seem un- able to 2¢r. - on who hols the reins. France «3 the principal creator of friction. France \ uis to delay the world’s affairs while Nearly $.0 Gerrans are brought to trial for war crimes. If 300, why not 9,000, or 90,000? The purpcese of tryin, guilty Germans was originally to rm: ka w.r gui personal for those at the top. Then, ‘i.> -varn would be heeded in future wars. there can’t be 900 top Germans. Thir ving to name 900 top Americans. The purpose © ‘he trials ild be lost if the bar were overcr’ feudants. People would lose interes follow the intricacies of so many act Sympathy might go to the Germans. France, too, is blocking the way to peace with Russia. There i: a widespread desire in Great Britain te face the Russian situation, as it really is. Thai is to say, the British are saying the prin- cipal thing is to get food out of Russia for starv- ing Europ. France says the principal thing is to overth™ow the Bolsheviki. After that, Europe can feed itself. America, in all probability, will soon be a party to the peace treaty. Unless before then, Europe shows more’ vision than it has done in the past months, cid world diplomats will have to fall back upon American leadership in international af- fairs. It will not be advantageous to America, however, to have this leadership forced upon her. The United States would be in the position of an umpire, who can please only one side. Yet. if Fn rope cannot keep the world spinning, America must try her hand. Otherwise, we may all slide NEVER TOO OLD Thé other day a young fellow strolled into the government land office at Madera, Cal. He had come from O’Neals, 25 miles distant, that morn- ing, and intended to return that afternoon. He applied for 160 acres of land as additional to a homestead entry perfected 13 years ago. “The land I’ve got,” he explained, “isn’t enough to keep me busy. There’s need for more food, and I’m going to do my bit toward producing it.” He gave his name: { James Smith. Your age?” inquired the land office man. “I was 103 my last birthday,” the applicant re- plied. There you are! A young fellow—only 103— ‘so young in ambition and so imbued with the work idea that he’s willing and anxious to tackle a brand | new homestead entry when past the century| mark. Anyone who knows aught about home- | steading lands knows what a tremendous job this young fellow is facing. *But nobody knows it bet-| ter than he. ' Honestly, now, doesn’t it make you feel like taking off your hat to Jim Smith of O’Neals? | | Now that the American workmen have an- ‘nounced their intention of using the ballot as a weapon, they need expect no sympathy from the Reds. | Dr. S. E. Taylor insists that missionaries could do more than armies to pacify Mexico. Well, they could if they didn’t get interested in oil. Je en oe + } WITH THE EDITORS | H pee da ' AN EXTRAORDNARY DISMISSAL The country can feel nothing but amusement at} the manner of Mr. Lansing’s virtual ejectment from office and at the reasons assigned by the} Mr. Wilson's first letter to Mr. Lansing is harsh’ to the point almost of brutality. The stated cause. for removing the secretary of state is, in the light of the information the President has seen fit to vouchsafe, frankly puerile. The President accuses Mr. Lansing of attempt-! ing to usurp the functions of the chief executive. | But usurpation is conceivable only in one who. plans to retain the power he has usurped. If Mr.| Lansing had shown himself of overweening am-; bition before this, or if Mr. Lansing were cherish-| ing ambitions in connection with the approaching | Presidential campaign, we could understand the charge of usurpation. But Mr. Lansing’s weak. ness in office has been just the opposite. He has! not been sufficiently assertive. He has been what) most men would call loyal under trying circum-| stances. And he has never been remotely thought ; of as cherishing Presidential ambitions. He is’ almost the last figure in Washington to be sus: pected of wanting to play the mayor of the palace. | More puzzling still is the specific charge made, by Mr. Wilson that Mr. Lansing took it on himself: to call cabinet meetings during Mr. Wilson’ ‘ill-| ness. But has the President just discovered the fact? We have been repeatedly assured by those surrounding the President during his illness, by | | ,an opponent like Senator Fall, and most recently | re) iby one of his physicians, that Mr. Wilson at all “ itimes has been in perfect mental condition and} ‘in touch with what was going on in the land. If; this is so, is it at all conceivable that Mr. Wilson | never stopped to inquire how the business of the | country was being carried on during his illness?! , Was he ‘ignorant of cabinet meetings at which | ‘coal strikes and Mexican complications were dis- cussed? Who, if not his cabinet appointees an presumably his trusted advisers, were to carry! on in an emergency? The indignation at a sudden discovery implied in Mr. Wilson’s letter is incom-; prehensible. | As a matter of fact, there is an essential con-| tradiction in the reasons advanced by Mr. Wilson! foy ridding himself so abruptly of Mr. Lansing. | On the one hand the President discovers suddenly | that Mr. Lansing is a usurper. On the other hand| Mr. Wilson declares that ever since Paris he has felt Mr. Lansing to be out of sympathy with him-| self. So once more the question arises why it|Prescribed By Physicians For} never occurred to the President during his long} illness to ask himself what a man utterly out of sympathy with the Presidential mind, but holding! the responsible position of secretary of state, might be doing all this time. Why the sudden discovery and the sudden resentment? ne \ We could understand a straightforward state-| ment by the President that he disapproved of Mr. Lansing’s conduct of the office of secretary 0! state, or specifically that he disapproved of Mr. P Lansing’s note to Mexico in the Jenkins affair, and | so felt co: cannot understand the charge of usurpation, against a man who, instead of trying to snatch to have loyally tried to do his part} in keeping the ship running while the captain lay AT THE THEATRE President for so summary a course.
