Yellow, like red, is q color OF
marked effect on the human mind
and nervous system. Unlike red,
however, IL has not always the same
effect. In fact, one Of the puzzling
problems of modern psychology is
to account for the difference In the
reaction TO yellow. as found on tho
one hand among Asiatics. and on the
other among people Of the western
world.
Chinese, Pers.ans. and Asiatics in
general are extremely fond Of yell
low. and derive from II q most pleas
urable feeling-tone. So do Malayans
and other primitive peoples. Amer
lean and European children. at all
events in their earliest years, like
wise take great delight In yellow.
But In the cnse Of adult Americans
and Europeans the feeling-tone pro-
duced by yellow. especially when It
is seen In mass. Is generally dis
agreeable rather than an agreeab BILE
one. Sometimes Il has such an un-
favorable effect as to cause sensa-
tons of nausea.
Thus, in an instance cited by the
psychologist Havelock Ellis, a man
who had been born with a cataract
was shown various colors after hav-
ing gained his eyesight through an
operation. There was nothing par
ticulariy striking In his reaction TO
any color until he saw yellow for
the first time. At once he became
so sick that he thought he would
vomit."
Such an intense reaction Is of
course unusual. But most adults.
other than As,atics and savages. are
TO some extent adversely influenced
by yellow This has been expert
mentally demonstrated.
In test at Clark university yell
low led all other colors In being pro-
bounced by the subjects Of the ex.
periments a color of disagreeable
feeling-tone.
Similarly. testing the color prefer
cnccs OF more than four thousand
people In Chicago. Professor Jas
trow found that yellow and orange
were the least liked Of all colors.
Various theories have been ad-
vanced &c account for this strange
contrast in affective valuo between
the liking for yellow shown by Ash
atics and the dislike exhibited by
adult Americans and Europeans.
Most plausible 10 the conjecture that
the dislike OF the latter Is a defense

What's to be done? Are we to go on

The old argument that he who does
not work shall not eat, has no foundation
in this day. The man who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow often
cannot feed his family, while the man
who inherits vacant property or some
railroad bonds eats so much and works so

LAUGHTER

There is always bitterness in the laughter OF
those for whom life Is emptied OF values. They
are like the fox that lost his TAIL and by laugh
Ing they hope to persuade others to find life as
empty as they find II. But the laughter Of those
who sacrifice themselves for what they value
10 sweet. and II their jokes are outrageous 1t is
only with Joy Of the freedom they have won.
They can take their liberties of thought and
speech because they sure of themselves and
sure OF an ultimate kindness In the laughing
heart Of the universe. Above all they are free
from anxiety: and there IL nothing that kills
laughter surely anxiety. above all the
anxiety OF one who fears life itself. Those who
have that fear cannot laugh except with the
mirthless laughter that tries not to drive away
fear. They are never at home on the earth
and their laughter sounds homeless: but the
laughter or the brave makes a home anywhere
and sets men at their ease even with death

"The Arya Sanaj"
~ On. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. By Frank Crane)

The world is knitting together. There
are no more foreign shores NOR strange
lands, at least in the fields Of mind and
spirit. The upheaval In China affects
us. The new movement IN Turkey has
it's effect in Europe. American democ-
racy penetrates the Old World. What il
going on in South America, in Australia.
and in Japan influences both the philoso-
ply and the business Of the United
States.
The coming United States Of the
World will perhaps, after all. be spirit
ual growth, widening and confluence Of
the mind Of all races, the material basis
Of which shall be transportation and
commerce. rather than the result of any
activity in arms or the pugnacious
dominance Of any one nation.
There is a movement now going for.
ward in India which seems to me to be
of deep significance, not only to the Hin
dus themselves, but, by the rejuvena-
tion of the Hindu ideal, to the whole
world.
1t is called the Arya Samaj, and in its
relation to Indian religious life it has
been compared to the Protestant Re-
formation in Europe, although it is far
more radical.
It is an attempt to redeem the Hindu
mind from the mass of superstition and
empty ritualism that characterizes the
present practice of the Brahmin faith. It's
aim is to turn back the people to that
magnificent religion which once allowed
liberty of thought to every human be-
ing"
The ancient religion Of the Vedas Is
known to have been lofty in its ideals,
pure, simple, and spiritual. but, as has
been the fate of most cults, it was in
and material sacrifices.
The Arya Samaj harks back to 'the
faith of the fathers" very much as the
various Christian reformers have cried
black to Christ" It is an effort Of
reople's conscience to renew its youth,
~ealize its ethnic ideals.
A recent book by Lajpat Raj gives an
admirable account of the Arya Samaj,
and of its founder, Dayananda Saraswati,
whose public ministry lasted about four
teen years, from 1869 until his death in
1883. His followers today number a
quarter of a million.
The movement appeals to Hindus be-
cause it does not mean conversion to
Christianity nor break with the estab-
lished ideals of national life.
It insists upon a life of active virtue
rather than one Of passivity and resigna-
ton 1t advocates freedom of thought
and the fullest self-expression for women
as well as men. 1t attacks the hard sys-
tenn Of castes and provides for the educa-
ton of the very lowest castles. 1t rescued,
during the famines of 1897 and 1890,

orphanages in the Punjab.
as it possible" asks a reviewer who
called my attention to Lajpat Rails book,
"to reawaken the courage, the spiritual
freedom. the splendid virility, which have
slumbered for so long and so make India
capable Of future which may rival the
magnificence of her distant past? Only
time can show. An effort to do this has
found a part at least Of its expression in
Arya Samaj."
