-Blacky the Grow.
It was late in the afternoon, and
Blacky the Crow was on his way to
the Green Forest. AS usual. he went
around by the Big River to SEQ IL that
man was scattering corn for the
Ducks. He wasn't there No one
was to be seen along tho bank Of tho
HE hasn't come today or else he
came early and has left" thought
Blacky. Then his sharp eyes caught
sight Of something that made him
turn aside and make straight for q
certain tree. from the top Of which
he could sec all that went on for
long distance. What was it Blacky
saw? It was a boat coming down the
Big River.
Blacky sat still and watched. Pres
emily the boat turned in among the
PUSHES and q moment later a man
stepped out on the shore. 1t was the
same man Blacky had watched scat
ter corn in the rushes every day for
week. There wasn't the least doubt
about 1t. it was the same man.
TIA, ha" exclaimed Blacky, and
nearly lost his balance in his excite
ment. "Ha: ha! 1t is just as 1
eyes had seen that the man was car
rying something and that something
was a gun-a terrible gun. Blacky
knows a terrible gun as far as he can
see 1t.
Tho hunter-for. Of course. that is
what he was-tramped along the
shore until he reached the bushes
which Blacky had noticed close to the
water and which he knew had not
grown there. The hunter looked out
over the Big River. Then he walked
along where he had scattered corn
the day before. Not grain was to
be seen. This seemed to please him.
Then he went back to the bushes and
sat down on a log behind them, his
terrible gun across his knees.
II was sure of it," muttered Blacky.
He is going to wait there for those
Ducks to come in. and then some
thing dreadful will happen. What
terrible creatures these hunters are!
They don't know what fairness rs.
No, sir, they don't know what fair
ness Is. He has put food there day
after day. where Dusky the Black
Duck and his flock would be sure to
find 1t, and has waited until they
have become SO sure that there Is no
danger there that they are no longer
suspicious. He knows they will feel
so sure that all is safe that they will
come in without looking for danger.

The stout woman always has the

tho woman who is thin but who has

In the case OF the fat woman 1t Is
apt to be merely surplus flesh; in the

Governor Miller in his response
to the committee which urged a
signing Of the Cotillo bill coura-
geously expressed truths which are
unwelcome and which many seek to
ignore, but which are truths none
the less.
Fhe bill would establish bureau
Of land loans in tho Banking De-
partment to advance large sums for
building purposes at low rates Of in
terest. The plan is for the issue of
certificates or debentures by the
state bureau and for the state
banks to carry These certificates as
part of their required assets. In
effect the banks would be compelled
to lend money, worth at current
rates Z or 8 per cent, for A or s
per cent.
Here is a scheme which either
means forced loans levied on the
owners Of particular forms Of capt.
tai, or is piece OF legislative
quackery that wouldn't work. Prob
ably the latter would be the practi-
cal effect. How long would funds
remain in banks to be seized?
Every one wants more houses
built, not only to supply housing
needs, but to give work to those who
would work But building is
not promoted by continually trying
to place The burden of improbable
investment on some one else. If
the members of the committee which
visited the Governor are not willing
to build houses, how can they justify
coercing others 20 do that which
they themselves will not do?
Among the factors making for
the housing shortage is legislation
which tends to make few want to
build. Labor, material and capital
costs are deterrents, but we have
added to them the deterrent of max
ing the investment risky. In time nat
ural laws will remove one set of
deterrents, but the Legislature must
remove the other. What may be
called the legal embargo against
house building needs loosening
rather than tightening. Private capi-
tai must be encouraged to come into
the business, not told to keep out.
In word, tenements must net as
much to their owners as the same
capital placed elsewhere would earn.
The Governor sees this as clearly
as other sensible persons. His merit
is his willingness to come out and
say so.

Psycho-Analysis and Impul..


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your report this morning of
Chesterton's lecture under the head
PSYCHE Analysis Now Rivals Jazz"
etc, he is quoted as saying Of psyche
analysis that "the general theory is
that it is exceedingly dangerous to
suppress any impulse" This is one
OF those misstatements, or rather re-
verse statements, effected by the omis-
sion or twisting OF a few words, like
the humorous changing Of the COM
mandment, so that it becomes "Do
Others" etc.
II the lecturer had said "the gen.
eral theory is that it is exceedingly
dangerous to suppress your knowledge
of any impulse" he would have been
making fair statement If not a very
exact one. If there is one thing that
psycho-analysis teaches it is restraint
of impulse, through better self-knowl-
edge, particularly impulses that are
harmful or annoying to others.
One needn't want Mr.. Chesterton to
lose his license for saying unexpected
things, nor be prepared to go the whole
way with psycho-analytic enthusiasts.
in feeling desire to defend this new
method of relieving mental suffering
from ignorant or mischievous attack.
