not Of common clay-he goes into the
army and learns for the first time mat
he is not "the whole cheese"
At school he mixed only with MS
own special crowd; here in the army
ne rubs shoulders with every variety IN

one whit to explain TO his soldier com

a mans man, they'll take prompt steps
to effect the desired development.
The consequence has been that some

discover his true worth by comparison

SPANISH INFLUENZA.

There is no basis in fact for the allega-
ton that the epidemic of influenza now
sweeping the country had its origin in Spain
no more than there is that it was disseminat-
ed by flies innoculated by German chem
ist at Boston. The disease differs from the
grippe" of 1928 only in degree, all symp-
toms being practically the same. The result
ing death rate is also about the same, pres
ent conditions favorable to contagion be-
ing taken into consideration.
The fact is germ diseases have recurring
periods. Between periods they may be
sporadic, but are certain to reappear at def
mite intervals until the germs are destroy
ed. 1t IS the purpose of physicians and
health authorities to destroy the germs, as
in no other way can such diseases be stamp
ed out. And it is when germs are destroy
ed in either the individual or the communi-
ty that these diseases have run their cours-
eS." Stamping them out sometimes neces-
states radical measures in which all con-
cerned should cooperate for the common
good.
The so-called Spanish" influenza is sim.
ply the old grippe" reappearing, and is
being treated in much the same way it was
nearly half a century ago.

The "Doughboys."
From the Triton Gazette.

Of the many nicknames given our boys
in France that of "Doughboys" appears to
have the best chance of sticking. "Sammies''
Giles Amies"-our friends) the bows
wouldn't have; yankees" is too sectional,
and one after the other of the various nick
names has gone into discard, but, dough
boys appears to be here to stay "Why
Ddoughboys?" the reader asks. To this the
stars and Stripes replies, in effect:
The term originated with the enormous
brass buttons on the federal artillery uni
forms worn during the war between the
states. These buttons were decidedly more
ornamental than useful and when polished
shone like headlights. The sailors soon be-
gan to call the artilerymen, with whom there
was friendly rivalry, "doug hboys," because
their buttons were about the size of the
dGough-dumplings in the navy mess stew.
These dumplings had long been called
"doughboys," and the buttons slightly re-
sembled them in shape. From the artillery
men the term was gradually applied to all
OF the land forces, until now it is used in
discriminatory to designate the boys in the
ranks.

Origin of Fear.

Fear is experienced only by animals which
depend for self-defense and species preser-
walton upon fight, according to DR.. George
": Grille. The skunk, for example, whose
chief means of protection is its odor; the
porcupine, defended by it's quilts; the snake,
which repels its enemies by its venom; the
turtle, which is securely encased in its shell +;
the lion and elephant, secure in their supe-
rior strength-these all exhibit little if any
fear reaction.
On the other hand the rabbit, the bird,
the deer, the horse, the antelope, the monkey
and man-these are the animals which pre-
eminently exhibit fear and an irrepressible
desire to flee from danger
Fear is the mental part of the reaction
by which certain types of animals preserve
themselves, and it is most interesting in
man, who has recently changed from flee
ing animal into fighting one and who I'M
dergoes often agonizing inner struggles be-
tween the newly acquired instinct to fight
and the age old instinct to run from danger
