THE NEW FABLE OF THE DIVINE
SPARK THAT HAD A SHORT
CIRCUIT.

One Evening at converted Rink
known sas the Grand Opera House, a
flock Of intrepid Amateurs put on a
War Drama.
Lila, principal Child of the Egg, and
Poultry King, played Daughter of
the Southland, and her Hair shaken
out and Lamp Black on her Eye-Wink-

Heavy for MRude Adams.
The proud Parents awoke next
Morning to discover that Lady Mac

When she moved from one Room to
another, the Portieres had to be spread
the entire length Of the Pole, so as to
make Room for her Head.
A local Haberdasher, who had been
plotting to surround her with a new
Bungalow and lot Of Mission Furni-
ture, went to call as per Usual and
found her away Up Stage, trying to
look like Margaret Angelin in the Big

She was too busy to Hold Hands,

things or conditions"
Our food, our clothes, our house, our
work, our amusements, our studies,
our friends and the climate we live in,
one and all are environment. Envi-

Dirty milk Is bad environment.
insufficient ventilation is bad envi-

Too much clothing is bad environ

All unrestrained activity or normal
functions give rise to a sense of pleas
ure. We enjoy action along the lines
OF our tendencies because they are
the lines Of least resistance; they are
our instincts" and are therefore easy
to follow. Life is motion, and there
fore there is JOY in action, because 1t Is
life. At very early age the emotion
OF Joy arising from action is shown by
smiles and laughter in the human,
and by their equivalent, play, in the
brute. Action is the fundamental
foundation OF all outdoor games and
amusement. The pursuit Of pleasure
through functional activity is vigor-
ously followed by all animals until
checked by unfavorable environment
conditions, and then resentment is
shown, because all restraint is de-
structive TO the organism and all life
instlnctively resists destruction.
Tendencies may be good or bad. and
bad tendencies should be restrained,
submerged and destroyed. That man
has risen far above the brute, that our
present civilization has been achieved
step by step, is proof positive OF the
destructive power of restraint on bad
tendencies, and is also proof that un-
favorable environment conditions
may easily destroy the desirable quail
itles. Hence the necessity OF recog-
nizing tendencies TO the end that we
may intelligently adapt environment
to our requirements for the conserva-
tion OF our energies.
The discovery Of. radlo-activity, a
property of matter far beyond our abll-
ity TO sense without assistance, has
opened the minds OF the scientific
world TO the belief that undoubtedly
the primary sources OF natural energy
by virtue OF which the universe keeps
going over immense periods OF time
are to be found not In the great masses
OF glowing matter dotting the heavens.
nor in any of the relations between
energy and matter in bulk, but in the
Individual atoms out OF which bulk is
made up
And SO, too, the key to the preven-
tion Of disease and the promotion OF
human health and happiness undoubt-
edly lies in the little things: in the
conservation OF the enormous amount
Of energy lost through apparently
trivial irrltations and insignificant
friction constantly ignored, but the
Effects Of which slowly accumulate
until In the aggregate there is q power
sufficient to oyorwhelm the stoutest.
These are now levylng an appalling
tax on our economic efficiency and
happiness.
The study Of environment is really
worth while.
