Filling out a form required for purposes of record, he writes: “Father's name—Calvin Coolidge. “Father's occupation and address—Lawyer, No. 2 Masonic Building, Northampton, Mass.” Young John might have filled out that second line rather differently. Many a youth would have done so in hfis situa- tion. . But John probably realized, more than most of his fellows, the transient character of political place and glory, in this land of the free, and also something of the principle back of even the highest office-holding. = Mayors, Governors, Presidents come and go, and their place knows them no more. Calvin Coolidge, is for a few short years a powerful ruler, housed in a palace; but he knows, and his shrewd son knows,. that his real home is in ‘a little town in New England, and his permanent address is {@ room in an unimportant office building there, and his per- ‘manent occupation is that of a lawyer. = On such homely facts as these, applied to all political power in America and taken for granted by the people, are based American opportunity and freedom. :. “HORMONES” It used to be thought that people’s dispositions were waused by “humours” in the blood—mysterious substances, liquid or gaseous, which were mingled in certain proportions at their birth. “Modern” medical science has regarded it ‘as an absurd theory, definitely exploded. ‘But now science, going a step farther, makes the curious discovery that there are in the blood certain substances ‘called “hormones,” secreted by ductless glands, which play ia very important part in determining the disposition of the individual. Im fact, they seem to work exactRy as the old “humours” were supposed to work. So we find tihe American Association of Anatomists admitting that thle “humour” theory was not so absurd after all. The only really new development is that now scientists ‘know more definitely what causes the different dispositions, and have more hope of changing them for the better. So the old thinkers were “in the right church but merely , the wrong pew.” Science has the same sort of experience over and over again, in modern research. Accordingly it is gaining new respect for the ancients, and willingness to ex- amine again some of their discarded theories. Z HIGH SEAS PSYCHOLOGY Alcoholic psychology on the high seas is strange. A ‘ship’s doctor, writing in the London Medical Press and Cir- <cular, describes the habits of American passengers who travel on the Atlantic primarily to drink. Eastbound from the United States, as soon. as the dry limit is passed, “the general object seems to be the consump- *tion of the greatest number of drinks in the shortest time.” - Westbound, they reverse the process, starting the voyage - without any hectic imbibing, but ending it with a “final fill- :up” prior to entering the legally dry country. * _The doctor appears to feel that these concentrated peri- ods of drinking at one end of the voyage are worse for the health of passengers than would be moderate indulgence ‘throughout the trip. As ship’s doctor, and a conscientious ‘one, he wants to do something in the way of prevention. But the is powerless. : Perhaps seeing themselves as the doctor sees them might lo the obsessed drinkers some good. =| RECREATION “I don’t solve crossword puzzles and I don’t play golf. It dakes me an hour to solve a puzzle and four hours to play 8 game of golf. My employers pay me at the rate of $4 an ‘hour. My time is too valuable to waste.” So says a friend of ours. It sounds big. But it isn’t. ; Aman may be worth 20 cents or $20 an hour. But few femployers buy part of a man’s time. It is all bought with tacit understanding that certain hours shall be spent in work ‘and the remaining in putting mind and body in condition to go that work. ; Our friend owes it to his employer, if not himself, to srecreate his mind and body. 3 TORNADO Another tornado — fortunately a baby one this time — fawept across Illinois and Ohio the other day, close on the ‘heels of the monster that brought such calamity on the na- @ion a few weeks ago. j ...

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. ne CIVIC PRIDE IS PATRIOTISM (Dubuque Times Journal) Civic pride is ‘but local patriot- | ism. In fact, civic pride is the most common manifestation of patriotism, Every citizen of a community who feels a sense of responsibility toward that commun. | ity and who is convinced that his | community is superior to all others is a patriot, who differs from the national patriot only in that ihe has | brought ‘his patriotism home to himself. But this civic pride is not mere- ly a manifestation of a communal | superiority complex. It is based | upon something more than vain boasting and blind patriotism. It springs from the stern conviction among the citizens of the commu- nity that their home is especiall ‘pronounced! in the self-made muni- cipalities. The community which has only preserved its natural re- sources or attributes also provokes | civic pride, because the man w/9j{ inherits his success is no less proud of his position than the man who began on tie proverbial shoe- string. Without civic pride or this com- munity superiority, complex there would be no public improvements, no parks, or ornamental public ‘buildings and no community plan. Civic pride is to the community what ideals and ambitions are to the individual. TO @sns *-SAYS We had rather be disgusted with our pay than disgusted with our job.

He ought to know. We'll go and ask him.” So over to the Clock Maker's shop they went. There was a big sign out front which said “Clocks and Watches Re- paired, Regulitted and Cleaned.’ The window was full of clocks, big and little, old and new, thick and thin. Mister Whizz opened the door and went in, followed by the Twins. “How dg you do, Mister Clock Maker,” said he. “I see you have plenty of time to spare.” “Yes,” replied the Clock Maker taking a glass from his eye, “but I try to be right up to the minute.

TWO LANGUAGES John I. Sullivan's newest biog- rapher has a tale, doubtless myth- ical, of a cub reporter who asked John: “I am desirous of ascertain- ing how you manipulate your hands with such force and accuracy as to succeed in annihiliating every op- ponent you have encountered.” The shock is said to have knocked Sullivan out, fer the first time in his career, and the reporter escaped be- fore he recovered enough to reply. That is funny. But is it any fun- nier than the reply Sullivan -would have made, if some one had inter- preted the question after he came to? “Foist, I swipes him in de peeper, and den I hooks him in de jawr,” or words to that effect.

SCHOOL HEAD PLACES HOME < ABOVE DEGREES London, May 2.—Girls who cannot cook, sew, iron and wash clothing are not well educated. even though they hold the degrees of all the wu: versities under the sun, in the opi ion of Miss C. J. H. Cowdroy, head mistress of Crouch End High School and College. Some educationalists want girls to be trained like boys with an eye to their future careers, but since ten out of every eleven women could marry and about that proportion of girls did marry, that fact ought surely to be considered when talking of careers, Miss Cow- droy contended in the course of a recent lecture. “I deprecate the view some educa- tionalists hold that a woman can possess far higher qualities than those which go to make a wise wife and mother,” said the head mistre: “Some think for that, the dullards being good enough to continue the race. I-un: derstand that in some British schools for girls the pupils are divided into two sections, thé clever half study- ing sciences and the dead languages, while the duller girls give their time to cookery and housewifery.
