CONDITIONS HERE PERMIT EGO To CULTIVATE 660 Americans, Especially New Yorkers, Too Much on the Ape or Sheep Pattern, Says Author, Doing Things and Going to Places Because “Everybody Is Doing It.’ By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. What have you done with your ego, your Little Gentleman Inside? Have you encouraged him to pop up with vim and gayety, like a Jack- (athe-box rampant? Do you eat, dress, think, play in obedience to your individual desires and convictions? Are you yourself? a stupid follower and a silly tmitator of the crowd around you? Do you go to tango gardens because every one else does, When you'd really be much happier at home napping over the newspaper? Do you wear the new full skirt, though you hate it, because every other woman you know has one? Do you live in constant fear of being “different?” If anything will stiffen your jellied spine {t's Vance Thompson's new, perky, exceedingly clever “Ego Book.” “I do not know what your business in ‘the world is, says Mr. Thompson. “It may be carving statues, or splitting matches, or building walls, or selling coats, or buying money. Whatever it Is, the world \ belongs to the man who is aware of his ego. The world belongs to the man who knows himself and who is so entirely the master of his will and his thought, that he can do things without giving men any answer other than ‘yes’ or ‘no'—indifferently—all his life long. That man is Bismarck; that man {fs every man who has ever held the world tn his hands.” As dramatist, novelist and essayist how he accounted for our lack of tn- Mr. Thompson has written wisely and | dependence, entertainingly, but I do not think he| | “It's youth,” he said, “and timidity. ever said a truer thing, And when Ij Youth is always afraid of not being talked with him yesterday he agreed) I!ko everybody else.

NEW YORKERS GO THE WAY OF THE CROWD TOO MUCH. “Man's first duty is to be himself, to protect his ego,” he said. “It you are to survive you must go your way and none other. “New Yorkers go the way of the crowd. They follow each other bout like a flock of sheep. Just a8 every college boy is unhappy unless his sweater is exactly like that of every other college boy, so the New York man instinctively copies the appearance, the amuse- ments, the point of view of cer- tain other men whom he takes as models. The woman on Third Avenue and the woman on Sixth Avenue are the nearest possible replicas of Fifth Avenue originals. Every one is afraid or ashamed to be himself, to do what he wants to de instead of what he thinks it’s the thing to do. “And so, instead of individuals we have types, the ‘college man,’ the ‘club man,’ the ‘society woman.’ Just as the hope of democracy is its oppor- tunities for development, so the dan- ger of democracy is that the develop- ment sball all be in the same direc- tion, with the consequent crushing of originality, individuality, the Little Gentleman Inside, as I have called that splendid and eternal thing the emo.” SAYS PEOPLE GO TO PLACE BE- CAUSE “EVERY ONE GOES.” ‘This discerning critic of our rever- sion to uniform type is a sturdy gen- tleman with bright, rather prominent Vwrown eyes and a jaw almost as square and undershot as his pet bull- dog’s. His voice 1s pleasantly smooth and non-combative, however, and he 4 cherfully when I asked him headaches it is has to wear a flowing tle and a long haireut, when every other boy of his acquaintance wears a bow and a shingle. In the colleges there is al- most savage conformance to fixed standards of dress, literature and rec- reation, America as a whole is still young and still afraid to acknowledge its ego, to be itself, “The sheep-like tendency shows everywhere. I was at a football game the other day, and of the thousands in attendance I don’t believe a hun- dred actually knew the gam The rest were there because it's the thing to go to football games in the fall. Think of the thousands of men and women in this city who every night visit places of entertainment where they are: bored because ‘every one goes.’ Think of the fam- ilies who regulate their expenditure not according to their needs or their possessions but in emulation of other households.” LOVE THE GREATEST MENACE TO THE EGO, If you listen to the voice of the wise Little Gentleman Inside you will put away such absurdities, according to Mr. Thompson. But he admits that even the sane and healthy face one Important perll—1 utterly, immortality; and the finer the greater is his peril, ply that sh Don’t Let Your Stomach Trouble You When you feel miserable, run down, have a bad taste in the mouth, coated & sure sign that your stomach, liver and frequent Ree ee ee wee aan peed noel threat demic eee EX-LAX e Delicious Laxative Chocolate ~will cleanse your system in a naturel, healthy manner, without pain or grip- ing Ex-Lax will relieve your bowels of the undigested waste matter, and in eoveral hours your head will be clear and your eyes will sparkle, One 10c box of Ex-Lax is enough to convince you.
