WHY?
Copywrxht, 1870 BY
WLxrler Syndic Asa. Ia
why DO We Jump At sudden NoIsesf

The phrase reflex action which is
reneraIiy used 10 explain the involun-
tary jumping or starting at an unux-
pccted sound sounds quite scientific
and involved, but. in reality, lis moth
Ing more than the element of SURPRISE
for any reflex action i~ dependent
upon this. as may be proved by
simple experiment. A person seated
with their back to a door will almost
certainly jump IL thesuoor is slammed
suddenly. particularly il they had not
been expecting the noise. But place
them in front of the door. where they
cen watch 1t, and the Involuntary
start will not ensue. though the sound
is the same in both cases. The same
reaction is to be noted in the case of
a joke. where laughter replaces the
jumping movement, as reflex action.
A good joke, the first time we hear 1t,
is productive OF hearty laughter. The
second time. the element OF surprise
is lessened and the laugh is not SO
sustained while, IL the joke is repeat
ed frequently. IL ceases to be even
moderately amusing, for we know the
point OF Il" or, in other words. we
arent surprised at what was formerly
an unexpected conclusion.
In the case OF the slamming of the
coor. however. the noise makes a
sudden impression upon the nerves
which transmit sound to the brain
and the muscles of the body respond
involantarily with quick emphatic
jerk. The more nervous or highly
strung the person is, the greater the
reflex action and there are cases on
record where this involuntary moye-
ment of the muscles, due to nothing
more than a loud and unexpected
noise, has been sufficient to cause the
heart TO stop bea ting and thereby
tring an instant death.

WOODS IMPORTANT TASK
OF STRENGTHENING OUT
THE PHILIPPINE TANCLE
Islands in Worse Shape than at Any Time Since
America Took Control

WARRINGTON. Sept. 81. - The
announcement that Major General
Leonard Wood would accept the ap-
pointment of Governor General of
the Philippine Islands afforded the
Administration a vast amount OF
genuine satisfaction. Everything
c%onspired to make the selection OF
Major General Wood for this posi-
ton a most desirable one. His
especial talents as an administrator
plus his first-hand knowledge OF
conditions in the islands made him
an ideal mar for the place. More
over as his reception in the Philip
pine Island. wherever he went on his
official journey of investigation
showed General Wood is very popu-
lar among the Filippinos and no one
could have been selected whose APP
pointment would have more nearly
pleased all the elements in the is
lands.-a very vital factor at the
present j%uncture.
Need of Capable Executive.
Probably no other appointment
gave the Administration more G n
Germ than that of the Governor Gen
eral Of the Philippines. In the first
place. business. banking and COM
mercial interests in the island we're
in the worst conceivable shape. due
to policies which have been in ef-
feet during the last eight years. or
more properly speaking. due to lack
of any administrative policy during
that time. The actual administra-
tion Of the islands which include
control of the Philippine Bank and
through it the financial and business
affairs of the islands were turned
over to Filipino politicians OF which
there are many varieties and fac.
lions. The result was things vent
to pot"
The Philippine bank which con-
tanned practically all the funds OF the
Philippine government financed all
sorts of speculative enterprises and
became hopelessly involved. Business
of all kinds on the islands was pros
trate when the Harding administra-
ton came into power at Washing
ton. Immediately American bankers
were dispatched to Manila to take
charge of affairs and to prevent the
Philippine bank from closing its
doors and foreigners from "gobbling
up local industries. until permanent
