The first is the inherent honesty and

The Unused Brain Cell

The earth throbs with the dominant roar of vast
industries. Men hurry hither and thither in obe-
dience to screaming whistles. Instead of the sun
and stars, myrads of ticking watches rule the day
and night. Men, women, and children crowd the
whirring factories, tending upon the blind Samsons
Of machinery. Efficiency experts watching with
ferret eyes the flying wheels and fingers, save
ton here movement there, till mans life work is
reduced to the endless repetition of half dozen
tons. At last, it seems, hayward human energy
has been caught and tanned. And yet, always in
these highly specialized centers of industry, there
prevails dangerous spirit of unrest, breaking out
every now and then in fury of destruction.
Sociologist and legislatures unite in recon-
mending the full dinner pail, model COTTAGE and the
maximum wage SCALE remedies for these distur

deep darkness of subconscousness. Nature bids his
ancestors-whose shades ever with US. though
