Just a Spoiled Boy.

Sport lovers generally like Babe Ruth be-
cause of his accomp shments on the base
ball diamond Folks just naturally like per
son who can and does things better than do
others, and especially is this true in connec-
ton with sports. Babe Ruth is a wonder
There can be successful denial of that as
sertion. His home run record is so far out Of
the ordinary that it sets him up as a super
baseball player, never yet approached in his
special line OF endeavor--hard and effective
hitting of the long distance sort.
But applause and adulation has tended to
spoile Babe. He evidently likes it and has
been fed it until he could not endure with
peace of mind the decision of Judge Lands
which placed him on the bench for an extend
ed period of time. Finally. when restored to
his place in the game he blows up when kid
ded or heckled by the fans, and is fined and
removed from the captaincy of the club with
which he is affiliated. -
Ruth is an example of the spoiled child He
could not, of course, been spoiled had he
not been an exceptional player But he is
spoiled just the same, and this pettishness
which characterizes his work is probably
based upon weakness which will in the long
run result in his finish in comparatively short
order unless some miracle may be worked and
his disposition renovated and regenerated.

The Greater Possessions.

When John T. Ready filed a petition in
bankruptcy in Kansas City he declared that all
he wanted to keep were his golf clubs and his
Bible. By selecting these two values that SYM
bolize mans spiritual nature and his physi-
cal and social recreation, Mr.. Ready has ex-
hibited wisdom that is sound as it is original
What does it matter to this Missouri philosopher
if his big automobile goes under the hammer
ar that some one purchases the right to operate
his cash register, so long he has his golf
clubs? Neither does he regret that somebody
will have to assume business cares that drove
him 10 bankruptcy. Why should he? Does he
not have his Bible?
In this age of possessions and dollar chas-
ing it is refreshing to hear of a man who is
adroit enough TO teach the world a higher sense
of values while he himself is being crushed
between the millstones of business adversely.
Mr.. Ready may not have been able to cope with
unfavorable business conditions, but he has not
made a failure OF life itself since he has set
before the bare essentials Of life in striking
and picturesque manner. Whatever he may be
as business executive Mr.. Ready is a genius
as philosopher.

Enriching Lives of handicapped.

An Iowa state school at Vinton has just
graduated number of deaf persons that had
been taught to speak. If this event had taken
place 100 years ago the world would have
gasped with amazement One hundred years ago
a European scientist made the claim that many
mutes were mute simply because they could
not hear Having been born deaf the mutes
were considered lacking in the faculties Of
speech. To teach mutes to spoken lang
uage they have never heard, and to develop
them in the art of tone production until their
auditors can not detect the fact that they once
mutes is of the practical wonders of
modern science The educational work of the
state illustrates the profound principle of hui
man psychology, that expression is based on
impression. If people not receive impress
sions they not express anything. The
human mind is wonderful machine, but it is
not self-starting or self-feeding. Much as we
pride ourselves on originality, all men are
born equally without knowledge. What science
has accomplished for the deaf students is to
find other avenues for ideas to reach the mind.
If one is blind modern education reaches
the mind through the ear and the sense of
touch. If one is deaf the eye gate and the
sense Of touch are used In many instances
wonderful results have been obtained in the
education of persons who are both blind and
deaf The percentage of blind deaf and dumb
persons has been reduced by science and life
for such people has been enriched and made
easier. In this age OF modern miracles won
ders are achieved every day which We take for
granted. Yet many OF these accomplishments
astounded the generation before us and for
centuries were unsolved riddles that dehed
mankind.

lDenominational Differences Grow.

One of the marked signs of the times is
found in the splitting up of of the de-
nominations along what has always been dis
tinct line of cleavage within the churches. We
hear of the old-fashioned Baptists south of
draw from the church and found another be-
cause of the differences of opinion regarding
the scriptures. 1t seems there are two schools
within the denomination, the one holding to
the inspiration OF the scriptures and to the
liberal Interpretation of its text representing
profound belief in the authenticity and au-
thority of the scriptures, and not conceeding
that they are in error az any point, and the
other school taking a more liberal view while
a. the same time reverirg the Bible and &C
ceptng its truths relating to life, conduct and
the future.
In many churches, it might be said, these
two elements may be found. They are not at
all peculiar to the Baptist denomination There
are Christians who take the Bible literally
from cover to cover, and profess to believe in
all of it, and there are other Christians who
believe that some portions of it are fgurative
and that the purpose of devoted scholarship is
to reduce the possibility of human error TO
the minimum. To the latter belief many of
the theologians and not few of the preachers
incline. Both elements hold that the Bible is
a revelation. but differ in their interpretations
and in its degree. Time will show whether this
tendency will become so pronounced as to
cause schisims in other denominations than the
Baptist, which is one of the strongest of mod
ern times

In the Oily Teens.

Since pores were abolished by
reclamation of the anatomfsts and
psychologists and formal publica-
ton of the news here, the number
/ of correspondents asking me what
will open, close or reduce pores has
undergone marked abatement.
But there is nothing encouraging
| in this decline. In fact, l fancy
there are just as many persons as
ever in their oily teens only now,
instead of merely requesting some
| thing for enlarged pores" they
argue this: You claim the skin
! has no pores. Usually you have
| common sense, but in this instance
you are certainly wrong. If these
aren't enlarged pores in my face.
then what would you call them? ''
Some such unanswerable argument
as that has been hurled merciless-
ly at me whenever | have denied
the reality of such popular entities
as biliousness, rheumatism, nervous
breakdown, catarrh, colds, and
impure blood (as an explanation
for pimples.)
1t is not SO strange that the I'M
enlightened layman should harbor
the notion of pores in the skin, in
view of the vague ideas of skin
anatomy and physiology that some
physicians still cherish. Indeed it
is still the fashion for some health
officers to issue to the public occa-
sional warnings about the dire eff
fects of opening or closing the
pores. AS the New York Medical
Journal has it, in a recent edito-
torial comment Men trained in
modern physiology still talk about
the doings of the sweat ducts in the
terms of their fathers and grand
fathers. Our ancestors, knowing no
better physiology, believed they
took because some unknown influ-
ence entered their bodies through
the pores of the skin at time
when the oWner~ef the skin was
so unfortunate as to leave these
openings ajar. and that, to prevent
similar mischance, the pores
should be kept closed under the
circumstances.
The journal then goes on with
some antique stuff about how we
contract a cold" by Exposure to
cold-all in the terms of our IA
theirs and grandfathers. The edi-
torial continues:
ANY one who knows histology
microscopic anatomy knows the
pores are never closed. While
when perspiration is going forward.
we cannot breathe in noxious eff1u-
via Cif you know what that means)
or anything else through them at
any time =. Such being the case

physicians should cease to talk in

tury"

Another Railroad Strike?

I The several hundred thousand railroad
workers who are taking a referendum
vote will make a serious mistake If they decide
to strike and paralyze industry in this country.
The workers claim that the wage reduction
ordered by the federal railroad labor board is
Excessive, and that many of their numbers
won't be able to provide for their families on
the pay they will receive under the latest cut.
On the other hand, the railroads declare that
they must apply economies to meet the rate
reductions that have been ordered by the gov
ernment in answer to the protest of shippers
all over the nation.
& A railroad strike would be of national
concern, affecting every department of human
activity and existence. Hence the public con-
Germ when there is threat of purpose the
part of those who keep the great railroad sys-
TENS of the cour1try in moving order. The rail-
road workers would not be backed by public
sympathy were they to strike now. Not that
the public doesn't approve of their resistance
to wage reductions. The public wants to see
every railroad worker we'll paid, but too, the
public feels that the railroad worker should be
willing to endure temporary Inconvenience
Just the other individuals are forced
TO do in determining their vital affairs.
