FEW REASONS FOR LAUGHTER
English Physieiaa Advances Opinion
which Many viii De Slow 70
indcrse.

An English physician. Doctor Nc
DouSal. has advanced an entirely new
theory as to the cause and reason for
laughter. He starts with the admitted
fact that We laugh easily when a man
SITS down on his own hat, or does
some other equally painful thing IL In
difficult for US to restrain our risibiIi-
ties when q person tumbles down.
even though In the next moment we
may be very sorry for the hurt that he
or she has suffered.
From these instances the doctor
concludes that laughter 10 really an
invention Of nature to serve as an an
tidote to sympathy, which is painful.
II we could not laugh. We would cry
much more frequently. and the nerv-
GUS excitement would be most baneful.
But when we laugh the circulation il
increased, the respiration Is deepened
and the system is generally toned up.
II we did not laugh we would become
SO depressed in the course of a short
time that death or insanity would su-
pervene.
The smile and the laugh. he holds.
are different, even in kind. for he
points to the fact that babies smile
when three weeks old. but do not
laugh until they are at least three
months old or more. II this be true.
IL will change the views of many psy-
biologists. who have long believed
that smiling was only the earliest
manifestation of visibility, and that
II flowed from sense Of wellbeing.
II laughter be the antidote to SYN
pathy. we must always laugh at and
never with any one, which is hardly
likely to prove true. The doctor may
be keen observer. but he will hardly
be credited with any great psycholog.
ical power. for every one else would
be wrong and he alone right
II he be correctly reported, he has
omitted much tina: goes to make up
laughter which is not always the re
suit of trying to avoid pain. In fact,
IL Is much more frequently q sympa-
thetic act. and is well known to be an
initiative action. for we often laugh
when others laugh.

Motherss psnsiona.

Criticism OF the mothers pension
law during the first few months of its
operation may very easily be prema.
ture and unfair. The fact that counties
are finding the payment OF these pen
sions a burden may account for a
great deal OF 1t. This, however. does
not disturb the fact that the law was
passed in response to an alleged pub
Tic demand. after full discussion. The
frequent statement is made by coun
~ officials that the law opens the
door to fraud and improvidence. The
same statement was made regarding
the industrial insurance law. The
same criticism Is characteristic OF al
most all effective legislation OF &
paternal character. II Is not the
fault. however, of the law that at
tempts are made to impose on the
generosity or bounty Of the public
purse.-Spokane Spokesman Review.

out joint or crack In the whole area
covered. II Is impervious to water;
moisture cannot pass down through it
nor can ground damp pass up. II can
be worked into forms required In such
places. and IL wears well. A further
advantage Is its comparative cheap
ness. Another Is the effective resist.
ance that It gives to rats: these un
firing "sappers and miners" are non
plussed when faced by a well-laid con
crete floor.
Open channels alone are permissible
In the buildings we are dealing with;
covered drains can never be kept sant
iary In these places-not, at any rate,
under the treatment Il is found practi
cable to bestow upon them there.
Here. again. concrete comes to the
front on account OF the regularity and
smoothness OF outline IL is possible &c
give them In that material. A con.
crete channel can be effectively swept
or scraped with ease. and a bucket or
two OF water swilled along its course
will leave Il comparatively sweet and
clean.
Limitations OF Concrete.
But while concrete Is eminently well
adapted for flooring the parts of farm
buildings that are label to be soiled
by the tied-up animals, IL Is not SO well
suited for their stalls or lairs Il Is all
right as regards smoothness. but II
seems to be too cold for both cows
IN Ia oh
ance OF bedding or litter Is at the dis.
posal OF the attendants. When heavy
horses come It Is hardly durable
enough: the pounding of their iron
bound heels are too much for concrete.
The passages and channels of the
three places we started with can have
no better flooring medium than con
crete. but something a little warmer
and less unyielding is required for
both cows and pigs to lie upon. Horses
might be left to take advantage Of its
smoothness were IL more durable
against their heels, because they usu
ally have more bedding afforded them
and they have less time to lie down.
Brick Pavement
Makes very suitable floor for tho
cows stall. and It answers equally
well for the pigs bed. Well shaped
building bricks laid on a bed of linn,
or cement serve the purpose admira
bly,. The cows can never soil Their
stall floors. provided the building Is
arranged to meet their requirements:
neither do the bigs mess their sleep
ing place provided it il kept clear OF
the rest OF the floor space. At thi:
rate there Is not much likelihood OF
the soil beneath the brick pavement
ever getting contaminated by excretal
matter. even when the bricks are sim
ply bedded on sand or ashes and art
not grouted. But when bedded OF
lime and grouted with cement, a firm.
