THE BELLICOSE EGO.

There is only one way to get the bet

his recently published delightful volume,
The Ego Book" land that is to under
stand him better than he does you"
He goes on to explain that this is
equally true of friend and an enemy, as
there isn't after all much difference be-
tween the two.
This is a most searching shaft. II
pierces the very marrow OF contention.
Ii shows why We quarrel, why we hate,
why We misunderstood.
Almost all repulsions between two
people are caused by lack of imagination.
We see only ourselves, understand only
our own feelings, views, and position.
If any one will sit down and strive to
transfer himself into his friends or his
enemy'S breast, TO grasp the others
thought, he will find that the hostility
that separates them is unreal, n mist,
maya.
Put yourself in his place" There
never was a better rule.
II we will try to make real to ourselves
the state of anothers mind. instead of
trying 10 impose our notions upon him,
it will make short shrift of disputes.
There is no more use in subduing an
others opinion than there is in one ma
ton conquering another. a conquered
territory is an expense and a continual
source of disturbance. England, for in
stance, gets a deal more good out Of
America by letting her govern herself,
by dealing with her as separate unit,
/ than she would by taking over her gov
eminent As the whole conquest idea is
a deusion, SO the whole convincing
argument is a delusion.
! You can live with me. do business with
me- and get along socially with me. lot
/ better by allowing me To have my own
notions. and by endeavoring Ia under
stand them than you can by seeking TO
make me adopt your notions.
Unity of opinion is quite impossible.
! Even if possible il would be undesirable.
I II is difference of opinion that is inter-
esting. For opinion is personality, and
uniform personalities would be intoler-
able
The only practical union Of personal
tiles is union in work. in play, and in

build bridge together. play game or
tennis together. and can sincerely love
/ one another, provided they don't try TO
club each others opinions into conform

would be avoided if man and wife would

would endeavor 20 grasp each others
views and TO enter into them, instead
Of combating them.
Even children we make thrive by leav-
ing TO them their liberty. by realizing
that their ideas change by growth, by
observation and by experience, not by
command and coercion.
If we could restrain the bellcose ego!
If we could hold down the lust of intel
lectual conquest!
If we could only understand each

Then each Of Us could freely say what

Quitting Will Not Bring
Results; Action Will DO 1t

Bishop Williams offers some puZZhhS
statistics regarding the slow growth OF
the Episcopal church in Detroit.
Many conclusions could be drawn
from his figures, were it not for the fact
that other cities show decidedly re-
verse condition, great and steady in
crease in membership.
This fact seems TO indicate that re-
sponsibility for failure must be due
either to the clergy of the Detroit do
cese, or TO a difference in the character
of Detroit people.
The fact that the other Protestant
churches of Detroit have also failed 10
keep pace with the growth of the city,
though in less degree than the Episco-
pal, tends to show that the reason lies in
the people themselves. TO a great extent.
The growth of Detroit's industrial
plants, and the bringing of new fac
tories to the city, have produced ire
mendous increase in population.
This increase is composed, consider
ably, of the foreign born. or the children
of the foreign-born; and a few of them
are of English origin.
Now the Episcopal church is primarily
English; its appeal is to the English and
to Americans of English origin.
It could scarcely hope, without mis-
4 = l. 10 Ia - Il
from the influx of mechanics and laborers
of German, Italian, Hungarian and Sla-
vonic origin a number of followers COM
mensurate with the city's growth.
Other churches have been more sue
cessful, and the most successful of all
have been two churches not mentioned
by Bishop Williams-the Christian
Scientist and the Roman Catholic.
Each holds out a splendid inducement
One emphasizes an element which the
others have overlooked-the value Of
this life, and of health and success there
in.
This doctrine appeals TO the practical
man, and the American of today is in
tensely practical; the man who has TO
do with industry on large scale, even
though he be the smallest cog in the
machinery, is most practical Of all.
The other church claims authority,
draws the line sharply between good and
evil, laughs at Pilates question What is
truth" and offers a security which also
appeals to the practical man.
Both churches contain enough Of the
mystic to satisfy another side of mans
nature.
Both are exceptionally equipped TO
, build up their strength in a many-sided
community.

How, in growing city of non-English,
the Episcopal church hopes to keep pace
with the increase in population, unless il
becomes active in missionary work, is as
much a mystery to the layman who
thinks about the matter as il is % Blsh-
OPP Williams.
A church which produces such men as
the Episcopal clergy of Detroit. leaders
in thought and action, ought 10 exert
q tremendous influence.
And as matter of fact, its leaders
do command a sphere wider than their
own churches, and many non-communi-
cants listen with respectful attention 20
what they say.
There should be no discouragement,
therefore. to Episcopalians in the stats
tics on which Bishop Williams comments,
but rather firm facing of the situation,
and trial of the means proposed by the
bishop to strengthen by numbers a posi-
ton which in influence is already strong
b this community.

The outside finish of this bungalow

owners because of the saving in paint.

House repair work shows that the
greatest wear on the floors is between
the stove, the sink, the pantry and
the cellarway. Starting with these data
architects have labored to reduce
these lines Of travel to the shortest
possible dimensions and at the same
time crowd all Of the necessary con-
veniences into this restricted space.
The finish Of a modern kitchen is
designed and carried out as carefully
as the finish Of any other part Of the
house. Modern kitchens are made as
light and attractive as possible. Very
often the woodwork is finished in white
enamel and the walls are made white
and washable. Wall paper has no
place in moder', kitchen. The wall
must have q hard, glossy, sanitary
finish and there must be no cracks

ponds on kitchen sanitation. The first
law of sanitation is light and sunshine,
although cleanliness really is part
of this first rule. When a kitchen is
made light, the walls and ceiling hard
and washable with a well-laid hard
wood floor, then cleanliness follows
easily.
The laundry in this plan is under
the kitchen and there is an outside
cellarway for convenience on wash
days. Every housekeeper is particu-
lar to have the clothes hung outdoors
when weather will permit. The out
side cellarway. in combination with q

In the East the word cottage gener.
ally means a one-story house with a
hip roof of rather low pitch.
1t is popular way to build a small
house at reasonable cost. and at the
same time to incorporate sufficient
tone to command respect.
The accompanying perspective and
floor plan shows this type of house
built for rather narrow lot, so that
the dimensions are somewhat different
from the eastern type.
This design shows very pleasing
approach from the street. The broad
concrete walk and front steps leading
to the wide front door all combine to
present liberal invitation to friends
and acquaintance with the suggestion
that sociable latch string hangs out.
Instead of building veranda clear
across the front OF the house, as for
merly, the fashion now leans in favor
of sun parlors. The idea seems to
be that a porch or veranda is COM
