Up toward Chateau Thierry in the big shove
of 1918, brig lie commander of the A. e. A.
temporarily separated from his staff, was
making sort of private reconnaissance toward
the front 1t was night time Directly ahead
of him, he knew. was a negro infantry regi-
ment, now under fire for the first time. The
lighting was quite sharp and the lone investi-
gator was minded to find out how the green
troops were acquitting Themselves.
All at once Lhe encountered straggler. Per-
haps it would be unfair to refer to this person
as a straggler. for at the moment of his ap-
pearance, lunging out of the darkness, he was
giving a spirited imitation of foot racer.
Halt. there!" shouted the outraged brig
adler.
The fleeing private slov cd up.
What do you mean by running away in
this disgracefUl manner"
Boss" quavered the black man, 81 aim
been amin to run away but these we're feets
of mine jest natchely carried me out of dat
mess up yonder."
Well, you face ak ut and rejoin your COM
pany Immediately"
Reluctantly the unhappy soldier reversed

"Who is you, to be giyin' me desc vera
awders? You amt no capn. is you?"

"Lawsy me-" quoth the darby, half TO him

MENTAL PERSPECTIVE
BY DR.. Frank Crane

Emerson said that anything is beautiful
if viewed in the right perspective
Much difference of opinion is due to the
fact that people view certain thing from
different moral distances.
The difference, for instance, between a
young mans opinion Of his marriage and
his grandfather's opinion of it is that the
young man is very close to 1t, and the
grandfather forty years off.
You will find that two people rarely
agree upon the apparent size of the moon.
One will compare it to saucer another
to dinner plate, and another to barrel
head These diversions of judgment lie
not so much in the eye as in the mind.
They cannot unmix their fancies, notions
and .precOnceptions of how the moon ought
to look from the picture of how the moon
actually does look
We make the same sort of error in judg-
ing ourselves. DR.. Holmes, for instance,
said that there are many Johns. There are
the John that John thinks he is, the John
that John thinks others think he is, the
John others think he is, and so onl And
who shall say what John really is?
When you are close to me you are five
feet high; when you are some hundred
feet away you are but one foot high; and
at very great distance you are but a
speck; which is your real size? Why should
you claim that your size close up is more
actual than your size a mile away!
AS a matter of fact we often more
deceived in the relative Importance of
things by being too close than by being too
far When you look through a microscope
at beautys cheek it is far from handsome.
Even a lovely girl, which is undoubtedly
the loveliest object in creation, must be
considered from just the right distance
and angle.
The so-called "evidence Of our senses
must be criticised. 1t is not the final evil
dence. For our brain concept is made up
not only of the actual image brought to
the brain by the eye, but our ina gination
mixes into it and also our preconceived no
tions of how the thing ought to look. And
beside this, much depends upon the dis
lance from it.
A very practical use of the law of mental
perspective may be made in the instance
of tragic occurrences. We think that such
and such thing that has befallen US is
of tremendous import. 1t seems to crush
all our hopes. Perhaps it may appear to
render life not worth living.
And il we able to retire to cham
Der and close the door and think it over,
and get ourselves into a state of mind
where we will see the event as it is going
to appear to ten years from now, it may
not loom SO threateningly.
There is homey saying that has much
philosophy concealed in it: cit will make
no difference a hundred years from now'

=. is cast-iron less liable to rust than other
kinds Of iron? r. Tx
A. The extent to which cast-iron will cor-
rode is, OF course dependent upon the condi-
tlons to which it is subjected For simn1e

Some OF the newly-developed ALLOW stee1s are
just as resistant as cast-iron is however
