Meantime, How Could a
Boy of Four Get Along On
Less Than $72 a Day?

While a mob Of hungry women. carry
ing babies. was charging the mayor
Office in New York. crying: we are
starving; We want bread the surrogate
court was in session.
IL the mayor of New York was hav-
ing his troubles, so was the judge of
this court.
The Judge sat with knitted brow. NUT
tering now and then an 'Oh, hum" or
something like that. as ne gazed thru a
window in the court room out upon the
world for possible inspiration.
II is too bad il was impossible for the
Judge to see from his court room this
mob of pinched-faeed women. carrying
pinched-faced babies.
We feel pretty sure that he would
have received the inspiration he was
seeking
The case before the judge was that
of John Jacob AStor, four-year-old son
Of Colonel John Jacob Aston, who lost
his life when the Titanic sank.
Il cost little Johns mother S72 day
for the boys maintenance last year, and
the knotty problem before the court was
a reduction Of that amount.
Evidently the inspiration didn't hap
pen in. as the court seems TO have side
stepped by placing the problem up to
the counsel for the Children's society in
the metropolis.
One piece of headgear bought for lit
tie John last year cost $3.50.
If the Judge could have had glimpse
Of that bread riot mob, he would have
noted that most of the women in il wore
no hats at all, but shawls drawn down
around their heads.
And among the toys bought for little
John last year was a duck, mechanically
constructed so that il would swim

would like a duck she could stuff with

IL the judge Of the surrogate court
really wanted an inspiration TO help him
solve the matter, he might have stepped
down where starving women were riot
ing for bread and asked one of them
how she would like trying, for an ex-
pertinent, TO keep the body and soul of
her four-year old child together on that
amount.
Most any one of them would have
been willing TO tackle the thing-pro-
viding, Of course, she didn't faint on
hearing the proposition.

Common Sense
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1916. by Frank Crans)

Harry Somebody writes me: 81 am
a young man, twenty-five years of age,
and good student. I can learn facts,
but lack common sense Can you tell
me how TO produce and improve common
sense?"
First of all. cheer upi That you real
ze you lack common sense proves that
you have some. The person with none at
all usually thinks he has lot.
Common sense is the kind of sense
possessed by the common, or ordinary,
everyday folk. The term Is a tribute to
democracy, and implies that the great
mass Of people, as a rule and in the long
run, are wiser than any individual or
class. II is the deep, broad intelligence
Of the human race.
Common sense is another name for
sanity. The essence of sanity is TO ad-
Just the one unusual fact to the other
facts which we know. An insane per-
son, when he sees his dead grandmother
ride into the room on a pink elephant,
believes wha\ he sees: sane person
would look aibund, compare his vision
to the other things in his life, and decide
that what he saw must be delusion.
Every new bit of knowledge is modi-
fed by what we already know when We
have common sense. II we have no COM
mon sense the new idea upsets us. car
ries US away, we lose our balance, we
become morbid or fanatic.
To develop common sense. therefore.
we must check any emphasis upon one
idea or feeling To look too long upon
any subject is to find il distorted. We
IAN see it accurately only by looking
often away from it, coming back TO it
each time from different angle. Bet
ter consider a thing ten times in ten diff
ferent minutes and moods than TO gaze
at il for one stretch of ten minutes.
r SO every mind needs diversity of in
terests, as the body diversity of foods.
Concentration is a good thing and has
its gains. but there is always danger
in il, and any mind that think continu-
cusly on one theme is liable to be little
crazy.
The best worker is the one who can
play the most intensely.
The whole art of life. indeed, is the art
OF balance. Living is like walking Q
tight-rope. Every second Of our exist
ence We must be adjusting ourselves. In
finite forces impinge upon US and the
problem is not to fall.
The fanatic may know what is abso-
Iutely right, the enthusiast may know
what is glorious, the theorist may know
what TO do. if-but the man of common
sense knows what TO do now.
Wherein we see that common sense Is
most uncommon.
