HEAD AND BRAIN IT HOUSES
Thought Machine Should Be Kept Well
oiled and In Good Condition for
Duty 1t Must Perform.

Every boy has a head topside his
neck. This head was not put there
by accident, nor as ornamental brio
a-brac, says The American Boy. OF
course, the head, being equipped with
a face, Is useful as a means OF identi-
fication, but If that was all 1t was
good for what would be the use Of
identifying you? Nobody would care
q rap whether you were Pete OF Jim
or the kid that lives over the bakery.
The real purpose Of the head Is to
be a packing case for the brain, and
the brain is a machine for the manu-
facture Of thoughts. So you want to
learn how to run 1t and how to keep
1t clean and well oiled. You want to
learn how to use 1t, no matter what
comes up-in an emergency just as
we'll as in a contest to guess how many
beans there are in a jar. There's a
heap Of difference between thinking
and the sort of product a lot of folks
brains turn out. One brain that car
think is worth a hundred arms strong
enough to lift a heifer. That's why a
general Is more valuable than n great
many thousands of soldiers, each one
Of whom could probably lick him beau
tifully in q fist fight. It's because he
can think.

CULTURE HERE BEFORE 1892
Did Civilization Come From Egypt to
America? Is the Question Now
to Be Decided.

Prof. Elliot Smith has been recently
developing In an extraordinary inter-
eSting manner the thesis that the pre-
Columbian civilizations of America-or
at least many important features in
those civilizations-were not truly alb
original, but came In a cultural wave
from Asia across the Pacific ocean,
the original starting point of the most
remarkable characteristics being
Egypt. observes a writer in Science
Progress.
Professor Smith believes that the ex-
tremely peculiar culture of Egypt was
spread eastwards by mariners, mainly
Phoenicians, for several centuries after
r. C. 500. To quote the authors own
words, he thinks that 1.-THE essential
elements Of the ancient civilizations Of
India (the pre-Aryan ciyilizations).
Further India, the Malay archipelago,
Oceania and America were brought In
succession to each Of these places by
mariners, whose Oriental migrations
began rs trading intercourse between
the eastern Mediterranean and India
some time after 500 b. c., and that the
highly complex and artificial culture
which they spread abroad was derived
largely from Egypt (not earlier than
the twenty-first dynasty), but also in
Guided many important accretions"
from other sources. and that after
traversing Asia and Oceania, and be-
coming modified on the way. the
stream finally CONTINUED for many
centuries to play upon the Pacific lit
toral of America. where 1t was respon.
sible for planting the germs of the re-
markable pre-Columbian civilization"

DO NOT SCARE US

New York World-Two reasons Of
policy may have moved the German
command to send submarines to ply
upon our coast, thousands Of miles
from their base. They may have
looked for a slovenly guard and easy
prey. They may have planned to cow
the American spirit, as they hoped to
do in 1916 by sending the U-53.
There is also a reason of despera-
ton. Our swiftly ferried armies do
not more menace Germany by LAND
than our naval forces on the coast of
Europe harry her submarines and
make cruiser raids hopeless. No
transport under American guard has
yet been sunk with loss of life upon
an eastward course. Submarines
planning to attack troop ships here
would hardly have advertised their
presence by assailing small merchant
men.
AS raids on London are made to
brighten the people into demanding
that airplanes be held from the front
for their protection, the submarine
raid, on our shores may have as add
ed motive the hope that panic will
prompt US to demand the withdrawal
of naval forces from the other side.
Set all these down as blunders OF
Berlin. What we have we shall watch.
Where we fight we shall win. We did
not enter the war expecting to remain
immune to suffering and sacrifice:
and to us the game Of bluff is old.
Whatever havoc the Tirpitz sharks
can contrive, the ships shall go, the
guns and stores shall reach their hav-
en-, the lines shall be manned.
And the navy is big enough and
strong enough to protect u shores
without withdrawing ships from use
full service on the other side. There
is no occasion for panic. By land and
sea, America will fight it out.

WHAT is

Norman Hapgood in Leslie's Weekly
What, then, is patriotism? Prima-
rity it Is the love of country, but I
think its best meaning is love of what
is noblest in our country. If love is
true love it makes sacrifices gladly.
1t asks no reward. 1t requests only
permission to serve-to do, and ever
more TO do, because of the love. Pa
triotism of this sort means willingness
to work, or to pay, or to die, in war;
and in peace it means the same; and
TO do these things with banners fly
ing, or in the utmost %Obscurity. Too
many people think it means only will
insness to fight. For the soldier, and
the potential soldier, it means that;
for the parent it means giving I'D the
son; for all of us just now it means
living on as little as we can; for the
politicians 1t means giving up the lux
ury OF p~artisanship and working with
the man who is now president and
commander in chief. Some criticism
is wholesome, but the hammering
criticism intended to undermine con-
fdence is no more patriotism than il
it were directed at Gen. Foch.

SPECIALIZED CLERKS NEEDED

Expert clerical work has a more i'm
portant place in the governments war
organization than most people real
ize. We all know that the war can
not be won in the trenches alone; that
an effective establishment at home is
vital to the success of the biggest job
ever undertaken by any nation; but
the full extent to which the special
lied clerk is needed is perhaps not
generally understood. And it is in this
class of work that women have the
best opportunity to be Of real service
to the government at this time.
General clerks, that is, those with
out a specially, are nOt difficult to OBJ
tain even under present conditions, but
the United States Civil Service Com
mission. charged with the duty of re
cruiting the civil service to meet war
needs. is experiencing difficulty in OBJ
tanning a sufficient number Of appii-
cations for many clerical positions
which require special training or ex-
%perience. There is an urgent call for
applicants for the positions of stenog-
rapher, typewriter, bookkeeper-type-
writer, clerk-bookkeeper, cost account
ant, accounting and statistical clerk,
statistician, clerk qualified in account
ing, clerk qualified in business admin
istration, index and catalogue clerk.
schedule clerk, passenger-rate clerk,
blueprint file clerk, and assistant TO
business manager. All Of these posi-
tons are open to both men and wom-
en-. Representatives of the Civil Ser
vice Commission at the postofices in
all cities are prepared to furnish defn-
lite information and application blanks.
