An eminent psychologist has made
an important discovery which does not
upset all our previous notions. Presi-
dent G. Stanley Hall Of Clark univer-
sity is the discoverer. And his dis
covery, assuming him to have been
correctly reported, that the typical
American girl of eighteen years is so
interesting that he would be almost
willing to go on his knees to her,
not as a man, perhaps, but as psy.
chologist. 1t is presumed that the job
Of the psychologist is to figure out
how our brains work. If he can figure
out how the brains Of the typical
American girls Of eighteen operate and
revolve, he will have conferred last
ing benefit on bewildered masculinity
particularly on those who have knelt,
not as psychologists, but as men. The
distinction may not look important, but
it contains all the difference between
being or not being Gin the know

Any one who has an ounce of OBJ
servation in his makeup and gives any
thought to the natural products which
are really the foundation of existence,
is aware Of the enemy character of
thousands of insects that form an in
Vulnerable army campaigning against
man from early spring until the COM
ing of autumn's frost. The campaign
never stops and seldom slackens
throughout the whole open season.
These enemies are fighting vegetable
life "a hours day, for while many
prefer daylight for their operations
there are others that attack at night
and so the battle goes on. Vegetable
life, and especially the vegetable life
that constitutes our crops, suffers
enormously, and would suffer defeat
were it not for man with his powders
and sprays and the insectivorous birds
with their Unsuitable appetites. And
the birds on the whole do more tc
protect vegetation than does man with
all the aids that chemistry and me
chanics have given him. Therefore
protect the birds.

Each Of us can help to hasten recov-
cry in business and in employment,
says Forbes Magazine. How? Well,
there is that little improvement you
have long wanted to carry out around
your home or your place of business {;
DO it now. There is that purchase you
have had in mind for quite while but
have held back because the price was
too high; make it now. Your long
cherished dream Of building your own
home has heretofore not been realized
because of this, that or the next rea-
son; build it now. There is that
money you have been saving in the
hope Of being able to invest it safely
and proftably; invest it now. You
have been waiting for the right oppor-
tunity to launch that more aggressive
plan Of developing your business; do
it now. You have been feeling pessi-
mistic for many months, but find your
self half inclined to adopt a more
cheerful and courageous attitude; do
it now.

King George has announced that ow-
ing to the great need of economy he
cannot afford to fit out the royal yacht
Britannia for the yacht race next year.
This is received with keen disappoint-
ment III England, as the presence Of
the kings yacht in the competitions
has always stimulated great interest.
But at the same time it is regarded as
a valuable example, and perhaps it
will be followed by other yacht owners.
England's economic conditions are
such that every bit Of saving helps
Still it has been already urged that
in as much as the chief trouble is on
the score of unemployment, it might
be better for the king to put the yacht
in commission and give jobs to more
men. But the employment that is
most needed is on productive jobs, and
yachting can hardly be put in that
category.

q USES FOR PETROLEUM.ss5

Prof. r. Stoup tells the students
Of chemistry at the Philadel phia Col
lege Of Pharmacy and Science that the
man Of the future will find himself
practically immersed from" birth to
death in petroleum. q The coming age
is as nuchTone of oil as+<of steel or
electricity. Besides synthetic fats, the
medical uses of petroleum, the manu-
facture of petroleum asphalts for road
ways, the domestic employment Of oil
for light and heat, we have the vast
~ important use of oil in Transports
ton by steamship and locomotive.
What a marvellous development it has
been since the early days Of Pennsyl-
vania pioneering! The first mention
Of American petroleum is in work of
travels dated 1886 and concerns the
oil of northwestern Pennsylvania. In
1854 commercial company was start
ed, and in 1859 Col. 3. L. Drake be-
gan to develop a well on land leased
from this company, and became the
recognized patriarch of the industry;
says the Philadelphia Ledger. A curl
Gus fact is that at first petroleum was
used mainly as medicine. Today the
United States turns out close to 4OO,-
100000 barrels az gallons to barely
per annum, valued at about $8000O0,-
600. About seven-tenths Of the world s
petroleum is produced by the United
States.

Some idea of the extent of the Ger
man Notifications at Heligoland can be
gained from the statement that, al
though thousand workmen are en-
gagged in demolishing the fortress and
naval harbor, two years of day and
night work will be required to COM
plete the task. The cost to Germany
of all the wartime preparations at
Heligoland was 100000 gold marks ;
the cost of dismantling, which Ger
many must also bear, will be 100000
marks. The inhabitants Of this rocky

1t is surprising to learn that, accord
ing to the census, the supposedly popu-
lar vocation Of apple growing in the
United States is hardly f1ourishing. It
appears that in 1910 there were 151,,-
322,94O bearing trees and IS, 791 ,849
non-bearing trees in the country, while
in 1920 there were but lie, 265, O29 bear
ing trees and 36,171.604 non-bearing
trees. The loss therefore, apparently

years, says Christian Science Monitor.
An Agricultural paper ascribes the ex-
traordinary decline partly to the fact
that farmers were more or less "de.
pressed in the census year, the de
preston finding expression in the low
estimates. This is possible, but are
there not clever experts in figures at
Washington who can compute the per
centage Of underestimation to be ex.
pected from a farmer who is grumbline
and so bring the census figures a little
more in line with the actual state OF
affairs?

ONE DOLLAR a YEAR
RECORD OF ARMY SLANG.

If it be true that the slang of one
generation is "a part of the accepted
language of the next, the secretary OF
the British imperial war museum has
acted wisely in asking for notes on
army slang, so that permanent rec
ord may be made. During the war the
Imagination Of soldier in finding new
names for old things, not to mention
names for new ones, had full play, and
the language was amplifed by many
expressive terms which seem to have
a permanent value and to open up
many avenues of photographed re:
search, says Christian Science Moni-
tor. Why "blighty" for home? ''bur-
goo" for porridge? Why ''gone vest?
why "scrouging"? The man who
used the words could not say why, but
he knew that each was expressive.
What would one give for a complete
Photographic record Of what was said
by Normans and Saxons at Hastings,
or Scots and English at Bannockburn,
especially Saxons and English, after
defeat?
