ATRWAlewas THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1924 HAVE YOU GOOD JUDGMENT? By Albert Apple Good judgment is the most fundamental thing in life, claims a speaker addressing Union College students. That’s putting it a bit broadly. But good judgment un- |doubtedly is the most important function of the brain. _ | Success depends largely on it. So does happiness—which jis possible only by wise selection of a mate, friends, personal actions and mental attitude toward life. < i Good judgment is to considerable extent inborn in all women. Men usually have to acquire it. ' And it can be-acquired—by broad education, open-mind- edness, determination to learn both sides of the question thoroughly, and by a sense of values based on contrast. The speaker tells the college students that in school they should get the ability to reject the wrong and select the right instinctively. Unfortunately, it cannot be done instinctively. a Snap judgment is rarely good judgment. Deliberate thinking—reasoning—is necessary. The fallacy of most “intelligence tests” is that they are based on ability to think fast rather than to think “straight.” The best thinking is slow thinking. Genius is not an ex- ception—it. is one-sided, rarely has good judgment. Children often wonder why they have to go to school and learn so many things that they’ll never use directly in later life. The answer is that the purpose is to develop the power to ‘recognize, understand, analyize and value. That is the goal, rather than filling a brain with dates and facts like pouring gasoline into a motor car. i The old-timers educated to impart facts. The new way is to impart the power to reason and utilize, with recognition that to know where to find any desired knowledge when needed is better than to be able to pronounce all the words in the dictionary, rattle off all the dates in history, or recite the classics by heart. Mathematics, for instance, may not be put to much use, To the same end they have held | ENTERTAINING COMPANY. mn notte See, RNR eT Oc sem, z tured articles it is inconceivable that stagnation could be awn the gale of Matoy cate dang either general or prolonged.

The man who puts his faith in America for “the long pull” e:n endure passing fluctuations with equanimity and confdence. America has a golden future so much greater than onportunities which have confronted nations in the past as to be befond comparison. Whether it shall be grasped deperds on American business men—and upon every Amer- ican. Be an American—boost for America! NEW ORDER NOT DESIRABLE The doctrine. of the “new economic order” is being preached far and wide these days, but it is doubtful if any two of the persons who are engaged in the propaganda of radicalicm can agree on what they mean by the “new order.” There never has been a time in the history of the world yher conditions were ideal, and it is doubtful if that time There are undesirable conditions to be over- hut experience shows that enduring progress comes rongh ev ion, not revolution. Teachers of communism prate a great deal about the fi wll come to the common people through adop- their creed, but they are careful to avoid mention rer will eome benef that which is the one great country in which the j shevist system is in control. The results do not speak 1} for it. There are morals in economics, and any system that in- cludes the confiscation, or appropriation without compen- sation, of the property of others is so opposed to a sense of right that it cannot be entertained by persons who have the least spark of honesty in their makeup. Mankind has made a great progress in the last century, and there is reason to believe that greater achievements lie just ahead. They will not come about by destroying what has already been built and substituting an uncertain and vague thing called the “new order.” COSTLY The three big political parties will spend 10 million dol- lars this year in electing a president, experts estimate, There’s no way of figuring the cost of time and energy expended in arguments among voters and in the individual’s search for the right candidate to vote for. Ten million dollars, a lot of money. But it’s our cheapest form of education. The average voter wouldn’t know any- thing about politics, and not much more about economics if we didn’t have the situation thrown into the spotlight every four years, and made interesting by its element of contest. MURDERS Selecting at random 146 American murders, Metropoli- tan Life Insurance Company followed men up and found oniv one execution. In 22 cases, the assailants committed suicide. Out of 146, there were only 69 indictments. Thirty- two other cases were so-called “justifiable homicides’—such as self-defense. Thirty-five were sentenced to do time in penitentiaries. In a third of the cases, assailants still are at large. The police rounded up two-thirds, a good record—far better than can be claimed for the judicial system. TYPEWRITERS About 250,000 American-made typewriters a year are being sold to foreign countries. Not many when you con- sider the population of the outside world and their average inferior writing machines. Ours is the first country in which penmanship has be- come a lost art. We have a mechanical nation—and, so far, our civilization is nine-tenths mechanics. The artistic and spiritual and intellectual will come later. Right now Amer- ica is solving the problem of making a living easily. Once solved, our best brains will turn to so-called “higher pur- suits.” CRIMINALS Dealing with crooks is apt to make any man cynical’ about human nature. An official of a big bonding company expresses his opinion that women are more honest than men because they are more susceptible to fear. This official may have liver trouble. Fear doesn’t keep people honest. choice. Ninety-nine out of 100 would be honest even if there were no punishing laws for the wayward. Criminal laws are, made for a very small minority. , __ The race is over for Washington, but the race for Wash- i 7 Fngton isn’t, : They are honest by; pearance of a normal downward movement in prices. The people, however, it is need- less to say, will not be deceived. They are fully aware that when Governor Bryan slashes gasoline it is a public service, but when the big companies slash gasoline it is an insidious attack on the gener- al interest. To be sure, it is a bit hard on Mr. Bryan. He cannot stand up and say, “See what I compelled the | oil companies to do.” No states- man can; boast of encouraging con- spiracy. Perhaps the most extraordinary | case-of “static” would be the fail- ure of millions of radio patrons to; catch the slightest sound of Sen- ator Brookhart denouncing the re- \inflation of the farmer. But that must be because the senator is still engaged in round- ing up all the details of this con- spiracy connected with high-priced wheat and low-y d gasoline. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON THE MAGIC ANCHOR Davy Jones sent for his anchor and gave it to Nick. “Use it like a lasso,” he explained. “A lasso wouldn't be a bit of use in the sea any more than an anchor would be in a desert. Just hang it over your sea-horse’s neck and when you see Tweekanose, let out the rope and throw it. him.” “But—” said Nancy and Nick and jthe Sand Man and Captain Penny- winkle all together, “But—” “But what?” Davy Jones to know. “Why is everybody looking so queer ’n everything?” “Because,” explained Nick, “our sea-horses aren’t much bigger than ) pollywogs and the anchor is as big as a wash-tub.” “Why, so it is!” declared Davy Jones. “But what of it? Look at you two children, I bet you anything that you used to be as big as real children.” “We are real children,” declared Nancy. “The reason we are little enough to ride on sea-horses is that we can make ourselves any size at {all as long as we have our magic shoes along.” “Yo, ho, ho, and # bottle of rum!” roared Davy Jones. “Well this an- chor is magic, too. I wouldn't have it if it wasn’t. Just watch!” And he said: “Ink, wink, Now ponder and think, Down under the water, It's right you should shrink.” And instantly the magic shrank until it was small enough for a watch charm. Davy Jones picked it up and hand- ed it to Nick. “Here you are,” he said. “If this doesn’t do the work and catch that rascal, Tweekanose, I’m very much mistaken.” “But how can we get it you?” asked Nick. “Chickens always come roost,” said Davy Jones. it into the ocgan any time, any place and it will come right back.” The Twins and the Sand Man and Captain Pennywinkle thanked Davy Jones and bade him good-bye. Then they started again to look for Tweekanose on the bottom of the ocean, One good thing they did. It just happened that they passed the magic mill that ground out the salt that made the ocean bitter, You know! The one the dwarf lost overboard off a boat and that has been grinding out salt ever since?

New York, Oct. 16—Aviators fly- ing over New York henceforth will have a view of the biggest machine in the world. Every street from Central Park to Bowling Green will have~ one-way traffic. It is planned to synchron- ize movements of traffic so that automobiles and trucks on all east and west streets will move at the same time. When that traffic stops movement starts on all north and south streets. Mercantile losses in New York City due to traffic delays total more than half a billion a year, some ex- perts placing the loss at $1,260,000 a day. To eliminate this estimated loss ‘every street from 59th street to Bowling Green has been made a one- way traffic street.

FABLES ON HEALTH PARENTS: WATCH YOUR STEP capped for, when he faces the reali- ties of life and no longer has his parents behind him, he finds that there are definite realities to face.
