Tea Table Talks
By May De Witt Talmage
NO MORE NnSFTrS.

BY the time the alienists. the Gu
genists. social reformers, and pro-
fessors are through with us, there
will be no more insists" A cele-
brated alienist has suggested that we
apply the results of Sir Francis CAL
ton who wrote a book upon the de-
velopment of faculty and gave a de-
tailed number Of experiments upon
every variety Of human efficiency and
the influence of heredity and mar
riage.
His idea is TO try for the deter
mination of individual fitness and
the regulation OF the career of the
young person" We might help him
I'm the choice Of a profession or other
vocation If some exact and scientific
method could be found TO reach a
positive conclusion as to his intel
lectual and social worth It would
at least diminish the deplorable ten
dency TO put square pegs in round
holes" thus saving some youth from
embarking upon a career in life
which in all probability would be a
partial or downright failure.
The choice of a vocation, he says.
is as a rule, put off as long as pos
sible the young person busying him
self with other things until the time
arrives when something must be de-
cided upon. Too often are the va
rious proposed occupations disquali-
fications OF a bodily and mental ma
fr1n
and neglected by parents. The chill
dren are often absolutely unconscious
of the fact that they are at all handi-
capped. While we can see all around
us men and women who were i'm
properly forced into college career.
we should, through the utilization OF
modern methods of inquiry, detect
the many special indications of fit
ness for the prosecution of the high
est kind of specialized life work, the
existence of genius, and the domin-
alton of certain intellectual combin-
ations that make fer success.
He suggests that in every city
there should be a board Of experts
that the institute should contain
men whose purpose is to examine the
organs of special sense, the muscular
apparatus. as we'll as the general or
ganic arrangements and it's funs.
tons: TO determine the existence Of
the capacity for delicate manipule-
ton. accuracy of touch and sense OF
direction. perfection of coordination
and the other elements Of manual
dexterity. There would be a we'll
equipped psychological laboratory
and an examiner for the purpose Of
detecting mental integrity. ethical
sense, and scope OF mental imagery.
There is at the present time a
systematized attempt for vocational
fitness A president of one OF our
universities suggests radical changes
in school methods. He says the
present education does not train the
senses to act with precision; our
habits OF thought permit vagueness,
obscurity and inaccuracy, and that
in his spoken or written statement
the student lacks that measured,
cautious, candid. simple quality
which the scientific spirit fosters and
inculcates.

MICHIGAN WILL
BE DRY" IN REALITY

With the adoption of the amendment
calling for statewide prohibition this
state, in eighteen months will enter up
on long period of "dryness" insofar
as liquor for beverage purposes is con-
cerned.
The Webb-Kenyon law relative to the
importation of liquor into dry states,
which attempted to give the dry states
authority to shut off the mail-order
business through state legislation, is up
before the supreme court for decision
as to its constitutionality. Should the
decision favor the law, as it is predict
ed it will, Michigan can indeed be made
dry"
To add to the strength of those desir-
ing the driest OF dry states, the more
rabid liquor interests now assert that
they will do all in their power to make
the state absolutely dry. This they
propose to vent their spite and also
through the false belief that a r. Ally
dry state will react against prohibition.

VAN PELT'S TOURING DIARY
Rutland, Vermont,
Saturday. Sept. 30. 191

SdtuiO Ody, Ccpt' ~, loio'
The weeks touring has come to an
end where we are in one OF the places
where | sold flour as travelling sales
man over fifty years ago. It's the same
high license town it used to be. guess
it has always been so. A drunken man
was going out the door as was going
in. This beats our town, because he
could go to place where il was public
ly sold. Although this is one of the
original "Maine Liquor Law" states,
think there is more rum drunk here
than any know of, unless it is Maine
This a. m. we rested, wrote postal cards
and saw little of Burlington. It's one
of the prettiest towns in the state. After
dinner we took short drive of seventy
miles to Rutland. 1t seemed to me that
the clouds were never more beautiful,
a sort of dark lavender, the sky in
the east showing the cold, gray steely
autumn cast which enveloped the
mountains on the east, contrasting with
the bright clouds in the west with the
edges cut clear and distinct, permitting
the sun to cast ITS rays here and there
on the mountains in the west cannot
imagine why anyone should leave this
part of the country for another-Fred
Mech, for instance. Ipassed his old
home this p. m. and all along the road
the views were beautiful. Whole
Steine cattle-l mean not stein of beer
were grazing peacefully in the fields
and gave us quiet feeling for. our
selves, and a wish for the same for
fellow man.
It's Saturday night, and that means
tub night. We have had very pleas
ant day. The expense of trip of this
kind staggers me. Hotels on the Ameri-
can plan and from s4.00 10 $500 per
day Gasoline, 25c. We average fif-
teen miles per gallon of gas We use
the Goodyear tires-firsts only, when
we can get them. With these, we have
already reeled off 6l95 miles and one
has the original air that we started with
still in it. So far, in Vermont, we have
had only gravel roads and we of Char
levoix County know that when new
they are good. They use q scraper a
good deal and keep the sides of the
road smooth and the ruts filled This
can be done by frequent use and one
man and a team can keep long stretch
in order-going from his home up one
side and returning on the opposite side.
In this country, efficiency is the order
of the day.
Trusting you are all as well and as
happy as am, still remain a true and
loyal member of the Charlevoix County

Material policies declared that he would
bend every energy to assist the law
makers and law enforcers of Michigan

Not more laws but more law enforce

efforts were talks which lasted only a
few minutes.
