.Adapta bility to Environment.

Civilian E. ToWne in The Nautilus.)
 Your effectiveness worker your efficiency in daily living, is m meas- ured by your ability to quickly and tlexibly adapt yourself to changing conditions about you.
 The alert, efficient man meets and reacts quickly to emergencies. He cannot be taken off his guard.
 The great majority of people are lacking in this fexibility of reaction. They are bound in their response to conditions by habits and they follow the force of these habits rather than the dictates of reflection and reason.
 We never realize what we can do in he way Of adaptability until we are forced into a situation where We are fairly compelled to exert ourselves Then we tap those higher levels of energy and power of which William James wrote.
 Most of us wait until these great t crises arise before we call upon our hidden powers to help us accomplish the unusual task But the principle can be applied in the little things of ry-day work. We can practice adaptation until We have learned to meet emergencies. the changing con ditions and circumstances of our daily lives. with far greater confidence, wit h surety of touch and a reasoned de- cisjon that will make us many tim es more efficient.
 It is by intelligence applied to the daily readjustme that efficiency and power are increased. Thought should to an extent replace habit in controll- ing our small daily reactionf to en- Vironment until one has learned 70 take advantage of and exploit the possibilities of each situation
 DO not be content to just get by on a, proposition, but direct your in telligence toward the fullest success fu conclusion of each situation as it comes to you in the days work. The human mind is so constructed that it will almost inva riably accept and act upon the first method that presents itself for overcoming an ob- stacle, regardless of whether it is the best and most effective way avail able. This habit should be set aside to the extent of selecting the method which will bring the best results.

A NERVOUS EX-DIPLONt.AT.

Heinrich von Eckhardt until re- CO., is an unwelcome guest of the United States government, having been permitted to enter this country on the first lap of his journey home following his withdrawal by the Ger man goNernn ent.

 Despite his great crimes against America. Ven Eckhardt Is safe from persoraI harm in so far as the power of the government can protect him. It is related in the New York Sun today that the Prussian "appeared nervous and frequently glanced about as he was being taken to his hotel. His ap- nrcbonsions were i'll founded.

PROPAGANDA IN MEXICO.
BoIsheyiki Trying to Spread Their
 Doctrines in Nearby Country.

Mexico City, March 2o.-BolsheVist literature is being distributed among Mexican laborers and labor leaders, il is said, are spreading the gospel by word of mouth. These propa- eandists according to reports, base their argum erts on literature that is being brought into Mexico from the United States by a Bolshevik agent, who is either Russian or Austrian.
 According to the Excelsior, the propa ganda is being carried on se- cretly but actively, and that within 3 short time the results will show. Sev- eral industrial disputes, the paper adds. were inspired by the BolsheViki. Recent reports from Vera Cruz say that two Bolshevik agents had landed there.
 Labor troubles in Tanpico during the last year of the world war were blam ed on I. w. W. agents instieated by Germans. The principal union labor organizations of the country. the Confederation de Syndicatos Ob- reros del Distrito Federal, officially denies any Bolsherik affiliations or sympat athies.

The Wrong Kind of Fun.
( (Meriden Record.)

Not long ago a boy of yeghteen at tempted to commit suicide because people laughed at him on account of his sta ering. It seems that one of the principal sources of his unhappi- ness was a Nc:r.'lboring child who consistently sung d sta mmering song now enjoying an undcserved popu- larity.
 The story is pitiful one. but un- fortunately it is not uncommon ex- cept as to the length to which the afflicted child was driven
 Stammering is truly 8 cruel thing It is rooted in an unconscious self consciousness difficult to eradicate. Mimicry is one of the worst things for it.
 No song or story should be printed or repeated which has for it's subject this most mortfying trouble, nor in fact any human affliction.
 A moments thought will con vince even the most shallow of what his personal feeling would be were he the victim of an impediment of body or speech which set him apart from his fellows. Human kindliness as we'll refrain from using in song or story such things as humorous subjects. Children, too should be brought up to understand not only that they cause grief by such unkindness but that they often do irremediable harm as we'll.
