Big Job to Fill the Supreme Bench

Democrat, appointed from Illinois, has
died, and Justice Moody a Republic
an, of Massachusetts, has resigned
because of ill-health, and President
Taft will have to fill these two va
cancies.
In addition to judicial fitness, poll
tics and geographical qualifications
must be considered. Moreover. the
president is brought face to face with
a task which will be of tremendous
Importance to the United States for
the next generation. With political
beliefs changing over night and great
er zeal in governmental supervision
being urged by the dominant party,
the court which President Taft must
reconstruct will pass on all the
changes in the organic laws of the
United States which may be made by
congress.
The problem will not be solved
for the public until after congress
meets, as It has been definitely an
nounced a. the White House that no
judicial appointments would be sent
to the senate until the Monday fol
lowing the reconvening of congress.

on President Taft the other day to pay
their respects. This annual call OF

duty which is uppermost in his mind
and occupying it almost to the ex-

SCIENTIST ON FLIRT

Take Simeon Stylites as an example.
He stood upon a pillar until the worms
ate him up. Monks and nuns who iso-
late themselves from society and their
fellow men get substitutes for this in
their wonderful faith. They miss moth
ing of the world.
The Increased freedom of women
is beginning to be expressed in various
ways If freedom reaches the place
where woman has just as much free
dom as man, Irritation may lose some
of its picturesqueness, but the feeling
of contentment in love and home
would not be lessened in the least.
Il disagree with DR.. Hale when he
terms flirting rudimeatary paranoia.
Paranoia is a form of perversion, and
flirting. instead of being perverted, is
a normal thing, to my way of thinking.
At a certain age a girl, or eve a boy,
awakes to certain facts. These make
strong mental impressions. Then it Is
that the novelty of masculine admira-
ton appeals to them and they just

Girl Is Not Normal Who Does
Not Use Safety Valve"
Professor Joseph v. Breitwisser, Path
illogical Expert at Columbia Col
lege, Agrees With Stanley
Hall of Clark College.

New York.-"A girl Is not normal
who does not use the safety valve of
flirting once in a while. At the age
when girls firt lin their teens), they
are at an age when nerves are unset
tied and not stable. A new world is
opening to them-a new world OF
%throbbing life-and unless they used
the safety valve they would become
morose and perhaps have a physical
breakdown that would ruin their
health"
Thus spoke Prof. Joseph v. Brett
Wiser, one of the psychological e.
perts at Columbia college, inventor of
the ~chronoscope, a wonderful instru-
ment that measures thoughts and all
mental activity. He was discussing
with a reporter what Stanley Hall,
president of Clark college, had said
about flirting.
Il think that DR.. Hall has made an
apt smile when he calls flirting a
girls safety valve. She would not be
and is not normal If she does not f1irt
little.
1T is a development that holds true,
not only in the girls life, but in the
history of the race. In the modern de-
velopment of the race the Irritation
has come to be expected from the
woman. 1t is the way she has of ex-
hibiting her charms to the n whom
her heart seems to pick out as its pos
sible mate.
in primitive times men took the
wives they chose by force. The wives
were mere captives, held by their hus-
bands. But today she has more voice
ir the choice of her mate, and while
society has not yet given her the priv
ilege in such matters as in business
control, she has to use her charms to
attract the one whom she believes she
cares for.
1T is the same in religion. There
are many expressions of religion that
are either direct physical expressions
or perversions. Take the ascetic-he
persecutes his normal life and be-
comes p devotee to some fixed idea.

GARDENS DEVELOP NEW RACE
Children Brought Up In English coun-

Plymouth.-A glowing account Of
the physical regeneration brought by
life in garden cities and a depressing
account of the moral deterioration
arising from an unwise sentimentality,
were the more striking features of the
proceedings of the congress Of the
Royal Institute of Public Health.
1t was Henry Vivian, M. r., who
gave an address on town planning and

the first.
He contrasted the overcrowded Lon
