Keeling the Mind Fit

YN tie success or the failure of the aver
age man there are usually two factors:
the mental, to use the term in it's
broadcast sense, and the physical; and they
constitute a sort of partnership. AS TO
which is the senior partner there may pc
much controversy, but it may be laid down
with some degree Of certainty that the part
nershiL is fairly even.
Grant that, and one has gone long way
toward assuring for oneself some measure
of material success And yet, even granting
this. how many are there who play fair with
this equipment with which we face life; how
many sacrifice one partners interest to the
other?
Recently it has come to pass, that athletic
institutions throughout the country have ad-
vertised special courses in physical culture
for business men; exercises that are guar
anteed to take off the surplus fat that him
ders physical action. And the response to
these advertisements is conclusive evidence
that there are men who will face the most
Spartan regime of physical discipline in or
der to continue, as the English aptly put it,
"fit"
But the rights of the other partner seem
to have been sadly neglected. There have
been, as yet, no exercises to cleanse the
mind; to build it up from day to day and
year to year and to keep it as fit as the
body for the work that it has to do.
Yet it is the mind that exerts the real
control; 1t can and does WELD tremendous
power Just how great that power can be
depends largely on it's training: whether 1t
Is receiving the exercise to which it is en-
titled, or whether it is permitted to accumu-
late the surplus fat % which the body is so
carefully kept clean. -
Books, it seems, are among the pm slcal
exercises Of the mind; schedule Of tn 'rty
minutes of worth while, studious reading each
day will do for the mental man as much and
thousand times more than thirty minutes
of exercise will do for the physical man.
This is all so obvious that 1t Is sur
prising to discover how few pupils there are
in the class of mental calisthenics as
compared with the large number to whom
,rtain amount of physical exercise each
dav is part Of the ritual Of living.

MY FAVORITE STORY
S Irwin Cobb

Those who in their youth were addicted,
Or subsequently have been addicted, to the
good old American game OF seven-up Will ap-
nreciate a little tale which Frank I. Cobb,
chief editorial writer of the New York World,
told.
Cobb, who was born in Kansas and reared
in Michigan, went to a town in the former
state to call upon an elderly uncle on mat
ter of business. He arrived about supper time
His aunt received him and welcomed him,
telling him that her husband Would probably
be along shortly.
Time passed and still the old gentleman
did not appear.
1T wonder" said Cobb, whether Uncle
Henry had been detained at his shop?"

tive lung swimming-bladder, to face the same
risk Of temporary stranding.
Prisoners of Water
Now the weeds and plants that were adapt
ing themselves to intertida1 conditions were
also bringing themselves into a region of
brighter light, and light is very necessary
and precious to all plants. Any development
Of structure that would stiffen them and hold
them up to the light, so that, instead of
crumping and Hopping when the waters re-
coded, they would stand up outspread, was
a great advantage. And so we find them de-
veloping fiber and support and the begin
ming Of woody fiber in them.
The early plants reproduced by soft spores
or half-animal "gametes," that were released
in water, were distributed by water and could
only terminate under water. The early plants
were tied, and most lowly plants today are
tied, by the conditions of their life cycle,
to water.
But here again there was q great ad-
vantage to be got by the development Of
some protection of the spores from drought
that would enable reproduction to occur with
out submergence. So soon as a species could
do that, it could live and reproduce, and
spread above the high water mark, bathed
in light and out of reach of the heating and
distress Of the waves. The main cassificatory
divisions of the larger plants mark stages
in the release Of plant life from the neces-
sity of submergence by the development of
woody support and of method of reproduc-
tion that is more and more defiant of drying
up.
The lower plants are still the prisoner at
tendants of water. The lower MOSES must
live in damp, and even the development of
the spore Of the ferns demands at certain
stages extreme wetness. The highest plants
have carried freedom from water so ia that
they can live and reproduce If only there is
some moisture in the soil below them. They
have solved their problem of living out of
water altogether.
The essentials Of that problem were
worked out through the vast aeons of the
proterozoic age and the early palaeozoic age
by natures method Of experiment and trial.
Then slowly, but in great abundance, a va
riety of new plants began to swarm away
from the sea and over the lower lands, still
keeping to swamp and lagoon and water
course as they spread.
And after the plants came the animal life.

The Outline of History-By H. G. Wells
H. The Romance of Mother Earth

7-HOW LIFE CAME TO THE DRY LAND
WHEREVER the shore line ran there
wv was life, and that life went on . in
and by and with water as its home,
its medium, and it's fundamental necessity.
The first jelly-like beginning Of life must
have persisted whenever they got out of the
water, as jellyfish dry up and perish on our
beaches today. Drying up was the fatal
thing for life in those days, against which
at first it had no protection.
But in a world OF rain-pools and shallow
seas and tides, any variation that enabled
a living thing to hold out and keep its mois-
ture during hours of low tide or drought met
with every encouragement in the circum-
stances Of the time. There must have been
a constant risk of stranding. And on the
other hand, life had to keep rather near
the shore and beaches in the shadows be-
cause it had need of air dissolved Of course
in the water) and light
No creature breathe, no creature can
digest its food, without water. We talk of
breathing air, but what all living things
really do is to breathe oxygen dissolved in
water. The air we ourselves breathe must
first be dissolved in the moisture in our
lungs; and all our food must be liquefied be-
fore it can be assimilated.
What Do We Breathe?
Water-living creatures which are always
under water, wave the freely exposed gills
by which they breathe in that water, and
extract the air dissolved in it. But crea-
ture that Is to be exposed for any time out
OF the water must have its body and it's
breathing apparatus protected from drying
up. BEFORE the seaweeds could creep up
out Of the early palaeozoic seas into the
intertidal line of the beach, they had to
develop tougher outer skin to hold their
moisture.
Before the ancestor Of the sea scorpion
could survive being left by the tide it had
to develop its casing and armor. The trilo-
bites probably developed their tough covering
and rolled up into balls, far less as a pro-
lection against each other and any other
eneNies they may have possessed, than as
precaution against drying.
And when presently, as we ascend the
Palaeozoic rocks, the fish appear first of
all the backbone or vertebrated animals, it
is evident that a number Of them are al
ready adapted by the protection of their
gills with gill covers and by sort of primi-

of the ornamental trees can also be planted
now as we'll as in the spring, excepting the
birch, the beech, the peach, and the plum

We. Kipling and Thirty Years

Apropos Of Rudyard Kipling's latest re-
ported discourse on Americans, we turn back
to pages of his american Notes" of little
more than thirty years ago and read:
MY heart has gone cut to them beyond all
other people, and for the life of me 1 cannot
tell why. ~
"Their governments PROVISIONAL; their
laws the notion Of the moment; their rail-
ways are made of hairpins and match sticks,
and most of their good luck lives in their
woods and mines and rivers and not in their
brains; but for all that, they be the biggest,
finest and best people on the surface of the
globe!
Gust you wait hundred years and see
how they'll behave when they've had the
screw put on them ant have forgotten a few
of the patriarchal teachings of the late Mis-
ter George Washington"
But the hundred years are not over and
the Kipling grievance appears to be that
In the matter of hands across the sea we
still remember Mister Washington too well.
Take notice from Rebecca Vests new
novel, "The Judge" (Doran), Of young
heroine's reception Of her first kiss:
ga pervadng weakness fell on her-her
arms, which had romehow become linked
round his neck, we're now as soft as gar
lands, her knees failed under shivering
body; but through her. mind Numbered
grandiose convictions Of new power
"There was no sea, however black with
chill and depth, in which she would not dive
to save him, no desert whose unwatered
sands she would not travel if so she served
his need.
Love began to travel over her body, light
ing here and there little fires of ecstasy,
making her adore him with her skin as she
had always adored hrl with her heart.
"And as the life of her nerves became
more and more intense, her sensations
more and more luminous, she became less
conscious of her materiality.
cat the end she felt like a flash OF light
ming. From that moment she sank confused
into the warm darkness Of his embrace"

A Tribute to the screech Owl

Stewart Edward White, in his "On Tiptoe"
(Doran), departs from his story long enough
to write these particulars:
The screech owl is one OF the smallest Of
the raptores, or birds of prey It lives on lit
tie mice and buggums Of convivial night
prowling habits; and its capacity for harm
ing anything larger than a canary bird is ex-
tremely doubtful.
aloft in comfortable seclusion it utters the
shrieks, screams, whoops and obscene chuck
lings of thousand devils, and that in voice
so powerful that naturalists have never de-
termined why the recoil does not knock it off
its perch.
There ought to oe an Indian legend to the
following effect:
In the Beginning of Creation the God of
Four-footed Creatures and the God of Feath-
cred Creatures had a contest to see which
could make the worst sounding product.

full of words . the gist of which
would be that tbs Cod of FouS-footed Great

and as every one knows one coyote is some
