Feathers are important but they are not used abundantly, -And usually they are fairly small. There are tiny quills, very small ostrich tips, miniature wings, coq feathers and willowy ostrich plumes. Unlike the Victorian hats that serve as the inspiration for this season’s milli- nery, present-day hats never give the effect of being lad’y with trimming.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. ;ll W. SPROWLS. Conditioned Reflex. The real significance of habit and habit formation in everyday life was discovered by the famous Rutsian phys- fologist, Paviov. Paviov invented a contrivance {or catching the sallva when a dog Was eating. Being & gre- garious animal, the dog secretes a great deal of saliva. Solitary animals do not retesso much, since they take plenty :e(cume for eating and chewing. The dog has become & sort of psychological bject these days. mP‘nvlov fourtd that ringing an electric bell every time he fed the dof was & way of creating a new habit. After sev- eral feedings at the sound of the bell, the bell alone would make the saliva flow. The bell thus became the sug- jon for food in thé same sense that the fruitstand is for you when you pass it. Pavlov called this new habit a con- ditioned reflex, because it depended on the bell. It is nothing but a habit in h king. i %‘h’:‘congltwmd reflex, or conditioned re: , as it is mm:lm? clnhz:l, is the basis for & new of psychology called behaviorism.

A Challenge to the Church. “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”—Mark, xvi.15. In an address delivered recently be- fore the annual meeting of the Deutscheg Museum, Dr. Oswald Speng- ler, philosopher of Munich University, prophesied the collapse of civilization and an impending tragic end to human- ity. He declared that man's rising ef- ciency and increasing technique will spell his doom before long. “It is im- possible,” he said, “to hold to the level of modern technique without a nation of 100,000 highly qualified human be- ings, but there is no guarantee that these 100,000 really exist. -Anyway, there is a grave menace of & lack of leading personalities during the com- ing generation.” \ . ‘We may not share Dr. Spengler's pessimistic view, but he is undoubtedly a keen observer of the trend of modern life, and what he says should challenge cur attention, especially should it chal- lenge the attention of the church. 1 think we all recognize that the world's advancement in _spiritual knowledge and life has kept pace with the advancement made in scientific knowledge and eficiency in material things. The adyancement along these latter lines, with the changes it has ght In our manner of living, has put upon us'a strain for which the mass of the people are not morally and spiritually qualified. And unless the people are raised to a higher moral and spiritual level, we cannot, as Dr. Spengler points out, hold to the level of modern technique, and man’s rising efficiency and increasing technique may bring about his doom. Here is a job for the church. Indeed, it is the job cf the church. It is not the business of the church to manage govemmenu and control wordly affairs. t may not deal directly with science, art, politics, patriotism, commerce, in- dustry or socialism. But it may affect all these, and affect them profoundly, by indirection. It is the church’s busi- ness to save souls, and in s> doing it works at the roots of humanity, at the roots of empire, at the roots of civiliza- tion. If the world’s population lacks an ample number of human beings highly enoolzh qualified to hold to the level of modern technique, and if there is a lack of a sufficlent number of strong personalities to afford society at adequate leadership, it is the church’s mission to supply this lack. ‘Whatever n}:lmx ;{e gra Spengler’s gloomy prophecy. thrown dU': a_ challenge which it is up to, the church to meet.
