No subject that Dr. Weir Mitchell studied. either scientific. or social. is more curious than the one he describ- ed in little known paper entitled "Of Ailurophobia and the Power to Be Conscious of the Cat as Near. When Unseen and Unheard." In this pa, per Dr. Mitchell declares that there are persons who have been able to dis tinguish the presence of cat by its smell. but cannot any longer do so and yet who retain ability to detect unseen cats.
 Tt is likely" he says. that the cat emanationS may affect the nervous system through the nasal membrane. although unrecogniZed as odors. Why these emanations should. if plainly perceived as due to cats, cause cer- tain symptoms in those who dread cats is readily understood.

That Is the Method Nature Provided
 For Their Development.
 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof" Thus spoke Zechariah in 52O B. c. But there were fewer motorcars in Zechariah's day than there are in ours. The children now need for their play some place safer than the street.
 More important than the playground. however. is the play. It is well that children should play in a safe place, but it is absolutely necessary that they should play somewhere if they are to grow up at all. for there is no doubt now. l think. in the minds of edlIca- tors that play builds the child It is the method that nature has provided for his development, Play. indeed, is the positive side of the whole phe- nomenon of infancy.
 The reason the higher animals-and man, above all-are born so helpless and uniformed is that they may be finisthd by this special method. It is for the sake of play that infancy eX- ists; that there is such a thing as a child at all. The child who is depriv- ed of his chance to play is deprived of his opportunity to grow up.-Crafts- man.

 While the high cost of living is one of the live topics of the day. a note of warning should be sounded-a warning against extravaganza suggestion that every family make deposit in the savings bank each month.
