RESIDENT HARDING, judged by the camera record, is aging a year with each passing month. To the President's credit it may be said that this is probably due more to worry than to anything else.

AYOR HYLAN makes a characteristic reply to District Attorney Ruston’s appeal for action from the City Hall on the evidence of graft in the Department of Markets The Mayor charges the District Attorney of Kings County with “meandering in the Markets Department” for political purposes. As usual, the Mayor sees himself the victim of “traction in- terests and the newspapers,” this time in collu- sion with “food profiteers.” He shouts defiant re- fusal of the request that he impound the records of the Markets Department and declares that any- thing amiss there will be rectified in “good time.” Thus does the present Mayor of New York re- act toward the plainest proofs of irregularity and misuse of public funds in an important branch of the municipal government. Whatever goes wrong under his Administraticn is due to politics and the versecution he suffers Produc- Consumption is a Communism first and most from the “interests.” Better that taxpayers’ money be stolen or wasted than that the Hylan Administration should seem to accept responsibility for what is not right by trying to ke it right That is the Hylan notion of duty to the public. PROHIBITION VINTAGES. Wine to the amount of 21,371,820 gallons, a pint and a half for every man, woman and child in the United States, is now stored in bonded wineries and Government warehouses in Cali- fornia, and the Collector of Internal Revenue reports that the wine supply is increasing at the rate of 3,485,843 gallons a month. Maybe some day, when the country is over- taken by sanity, “Probibition vintages” will be among the famous and best.

LEARNING HOW TO LEARN, The best thing that college does for a man is to teach him to learn, Learning isn’t as easy as it scems. The child learns by imitation, If he happens to haye the right sort of models he learns pretty well. If he has the wrong sort, what he learns as a child has to be learned all over by and by. To-day there are many men and women of forty pain fully learning to correct the bad grammar they got from their parents. They find the bad grammar brings ridiculé on them in the company with which they associate, So they are willing to take the trouble to get rid of it. In college a man gets not so much knowledge as the knowledge that teaches him to get knowledge. When he gets that his real education can begin. If he is patient, and willing, and has plenty of grit, he can get the same knowledge out of life. It will take him a little longer and the work will be a little harder, but in the end it will come to the same thing. Most of the art of learning consists of an orderly brain and a thinking machine that runs smoothly and. syste- matically. It consists of taking up one thing at a time, and studying it, and its relations to other things. It consists above all in thoroughness, which means that one lesson, once learned, need never be learned over again. You cannot dig into the encyclopaedia and amass knowledge that will be of any use to you unless you learn how to study the encyclopaedia. Neither can you learn the lessons of life unless you learn how to study them, An intelligent man can acquire any business or profes- sion that does not —like art and writing and a few otner subjects——require a native knack, But he can never do that unless he first learns how to learn, Then, like the late Charles R. Miller of the New York ake up unhesitatingly the study of the Rus- Times, he can sian language at the age of sixty-two, and be sure that in a few years he will have mastered at least its fundamentals ; on except on condition of first elimi< snd read it with comparative ease.

Famous Philosophies By LOUIS M. NOTKIN Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World), by Press Publishing Co. HENRI BERGSON (1859)—CHAM- PION OF THE THEORY OF “INTUITION.” € tho great Frenehi philosopher, boiled down his whole philosophy to one sentence—"‘Lite cannot be fudged, it must be lived."* According to Bergson, reality, 1# flowing, constantly moving. In the realm of the real there are no gener- alities, no concepts, no tmmobility. In life we are confronted only by fluidity and change, and not by that which flows and changes; there you do not find things, but 6nly actions. The real is unceasing life, spontaneous action, pure duration, freedom. With this reality the intellect can= not deal, The intellectual method ts the cinematographical method and gives us snapshots, immobile pictures, of the never-ceasing stream; it cannot dive into this stream and pursue it in all of its sinuosities, Intelligence is pre-eminently fitt to deal with matter. Bergson deniés that reality in its fulness 1s compre~ her in terms of intellectual knowledge. Life with its vital im- petus could be understood only when intelligence is supplemented by any other method—the method of intui- tion. According to Henrt Bergson, there are two types of knowledge, namely, scientific and philosophical, or intel lectual and intuitive.
