that man, that awful man. That's him."
Then she swooned. Dean, the I1-year-oId

ROBINSON FILES AN AFFIDAVIT
P~residents Brother-in-LRw Charge
New York world with
Libel.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2e.-Uncertainty as
TO what action would be taken on the
suggestion OF District Attorney Jerome
on the government suit against the New
York World for libel. that the federal
authorities permit him to proceed in
their stead was in a measure removed to-
day by the signing of an affidavit by
Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law OF the
president.
1t IL believed this means that MIR. Rob
inson has accepted Mr.. Jerome's PROPOSE
ton to appear as a complaining witness
and that the county grand jury is pre-
pairing to take the matter in hand.
Mr.. Jerome declared, however, he had
received no reply from either Attorney
General Bonaparte or District Attorney
Henry l.. Stimson as to what course the
government proposed to take. Until he
received assurance that such right-of-
way would be given him he said he could
do nothing.
Another visitor received by Mr.. Jerome
today was Jonas Whitley, a representa-
tive of William Nelson Cromwell. He
left after signing a deposition. This
is understood to recite the fact that the
day before the publication of the alleged
libelous article Mr.. Whitley called at tn e
offics Of the World and notified those

High winds which prevailed today played
havoc with new construction in various

Some criticism has been evoked be-
cause the administration has not sent
its most highly trained diplomat to
China, in view of the great importance
Of the Picking post just now, and the
fact that other countries are sending
there none but highly trained diplo-
matte officials. If Mr. Crane gets
through with credit and upholds the
cause of America successfully, he will
deserve great honor. But it is clearly
time for the post at Picking to be raised
to the rank of an embassy, when the
demands it makes on the ability of the
representative of the United States
there are taken into account.

PROF. MUNSTERBURG SAYS
NERVOUSNESS is A GHOST.

just when the season of rest and
vacations is closing and we look for
ward with some apprehension TO an
other year of hard work, with wear
and tear on body and mind, along
comes Prof. Munsterburg, in a recent
magazine. and assures US that the bug
bear of nerves, which is so loudly cried
as a modern evil. is really only a ghost
that We have raised for our own terror.
He declares that nervousness is no
more a product Of our civilization than
of any other era, and that things we
deplore as nerve-wracking mechanical
assistants to the general ruinous hustle
and speed, are in fact aids to quiet
ness.
The telephone, automobile, elevator,
and a thousand devices save us the
energy once spent in useless motion.
''The technical mechanism of our life
has become more complex, just for the
sake Of making our life itself simpler. -
And the learned psychologist goes on
to say that much of what we term
nerves" is in the luminous vernacular
nothing but laziness, and a failure to
exert the proper attention.
An Of this may well be true, yet it
is a fact that our labor-saving devices
may in the end save labor that is use
ful az a means of exercise and recrea-
ton Certainly small defense can be
found for conditions such as a recent
visitor to New York noted when hurry
ing through subterranean passages and
up Ozark chutes, he passed a whole day
without once seeing the sun or being
in the actual open air, save when he
mounted 10 the top Of a skyscraper.
It is fine to have at command a magic
current 10 put, like Puck, a girdle
around the earth in forty minutes, but
it is just as well to do a little walking
now and then to relieve the strain Of
the complex life, spiritual as we'll as
physical.
