"Why the Mind Has a Body Is the

philosophical essay on the relation Of
mind and body is primarily concerned
with the current controversy between
the "common-sense' school Of theorists
who affirm that the mind acts on the
body, and the "automatsts or 'paral.
lelists," who declare that our varying
states OF consciousness are merely

STRESS OF BUSINESS LIFE.
Greatest Strain Not Always Found in
Highest Positions.

When a man standing at the head
of vast business breaks down, the
papers begin to talk of the enormous
pressure of modern life, especially in
the lines of finance and industrial ac-
tivity. There are railway presidents
who stand a great amount of business
strain. but they waste none of their
energies, and are temperate, as all
men of greet affairs must be, if they
would hold their own in these busy
days.
While a great business involves
large responsibilities. a strong man at
the head of it will be found to have
selected capable assistants, often
younger men with greater power of
resisting strain. The railway mana
ger, bank manager. or head of a trust
or combine has his staff; his business
is systematized, and a large part of
his worth to his corporation consists
in his ability to pick good men for
responsible places.
When one comes to look over the
list of men broken down in business.
it is among those having small bust
nesses that the greatest number will
be found. The man in small way
rarely can afford to have capable as
sistants; he must do it all himself"
and hence worry and OVERRIDING. There
is more of chance for brain-fag in
small shop or agency than in a big
business. 1t is. therefore. of the ut

they reserve themselves sufficiently to
cope with the evergrowing strain of

AUTOMOBILES CARRY MAIL.
Their Efficiency Demonstrated b>
Trials Made in Michigan.

A series of extensive experiments
with the automobile in the free rural
mail delivery service, which has just
been completed in Lenawee county.
Michigan, seems to remove whatever
doubt has existed as to the practica-
bility of adopting motor vehicles on
routes which defy the horse.
These tests extended over period
of one month and the routes covered
varied in length from ten miles TO
twenty-nine miles. The weather was
at times very bad, the snow was often
from six to eight inches deep and
much ice was encountered.
Yet, Notwithstanding such adverse
conditions, the report of Postmaster
Priddy, who supervised the tests,
shows that on the twenty-nine mile
route the time required to make 125
stops for delivery and fifty-nine pick
ups" during which approximately 800
pieces of mail matter were handled,
was less than four hours, or about one
half that occupied by the carrier with
his horse. The amount of fuel CON
sumed was only nominal.
Postmaster Priddy says that the peo-
pie along the routes, whose attitude
toward the automobile heretofore had
not been friendly. came to regard. the
machines with admiration, and he be-
lieves that all that is necessary to al
lay the sentiment of unfriendliness to
ward automobiles now existing among
our rural citizens is to demonstrate
to them the machines immense advan-
tage over their four-footed contempo-
raries.-St Louis Post-Dispatch.
