Job 5, 1921
When we take on the life of depres-
sion we will die without wisdom. We
claim that we have something that we
want,-that we have it within our
hands, but are unable to close our
fingers over it.
We are sitting in the ashes of our
cwh thoughts. Our thots have been
reduced to a heap Of ashes. We the
great consciousness of man ARE sit
ting with Job in this pile of ashes.
Our friends pass by; they try to help
us. But cur own condition has
brought us to a place where we try
in vain. Everything has been taken
from us,-all the great inspirations,
all the great things that we. have done
in our life are counting for nought.
Thus we sit depending on conditions
around us to help US. We call on this
one and that one. They come and try
to the best of their ability to assist
US.
But they themselves are sitting in
ashes with just a little smouidering
spark that blazes forth now and then
and to this we reach out. But what
about the great spark in our own
consciousness that we cover day by
day? We cover it with ashes and
cinders of disagreeable thots and we
sit bowed under the weight of what
we call life and it's disappointments!
Now life is a great burning fame
that will carry men on. When that
blazes up from the bed of ashes we
feel it and want to go out and do
things. There is a vast difference
between this flame and nervous ex-
element. Such a flame brings with
i. great feeling of calm and power.
While with the nervous excitement
we find ourselves doing the same
thing over and over again with no re-
sults,-no spiritual results, that is
the thing that counts. The spiritual
result is the paper that we can draw
our checks on, for this world and the
next.
If we blaze up and keep the flame
burning we will go on to all things,
supply as we'll as health and spiritual
understanding. But if we are buried
under heap of ashes there we will
live only life of existence with lit
tie flame of light and inspiration now
and then.
Throw off every condition of disap
pointment, dependency, and thot of
lack. Let US forge ahead with hands
closed and mind determined that we
will put kindling on the fire so that
it will blaze high, that we may do the
work we were put here to accomplish.

OLA Teacher
BY A COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR.

composition and wonder what is the
matter? He says he has been study
ing very hard, and he is truthful
boy. If he does not learn to write cor
rectly he will never succeed, and am
worried about it. Please tell me what
you think is wrong with Arthur and
what l should do?"
Every college instructor has receiv-
ed such letters, and has answered
them with vague politeness, express
ing his fervent interest in Arthur's
progress, and his belief that what the
hoy needs is "closer concentration, I"
or further drill in the mechanics of
expression"
The other night I found myself ad-
dressing to an imaginary father an
imaginary letter which told, for once
the complete and unvarnished truth.
he letter would not of course, serve
for all cases; but it might almost be
kept as an office form to be sent a
certain type of father about a certain
tyre of boy. Here it is:
81 'flunked' your son Arthur in Eng
lish because his work was illiterate
and because he never attempted to
improve it. Even if by the end Of the.
term he lad become able to write with
reasonable correctness, I should not
have given him a passing mark, for
he would never have been able to use
English as a medium for the express
sion of ideas. This must seem to you
a harsh judgment, and you will wish
me to explain it.
ARTHUR, like everybody else, is the
product Of heredity and of environ
ment. AS to his heredity 1 can only
guess, being ignorant of what lies
back of him. He seems to have in
herited a sound and healthy body, to-
gether with a good stock of charact-
eristic American virtues. But some
thing is wrong with his brain.
would not call the lad a defective.
He responds to crude stimuli, and can
perceive certain obvious similarities
between things. He lacks, however,
that power to make distinctions which
is the basis of logic. To define term
and to keep central point of view in
classifying a body Of material are for
him impossible feats. He cannot stick
to subject, arrange his thoughts in
coherent order or apprehend relations
Of cause and effect. The boy is there
fore inhibited from creative study
the only kind of study worth while.
"These faults may, Of course be
partly due to bad education; but no
education, however bad, can entirely
deprive a human mind Of all con-
structive power. With Arthur, think
ing is so evidently a painful and I'M
natural process that I must regard
his hereditary mental equipment as
deficient. You will say that it is the
business of the instructor to cure
these defects. But education is mere
ly guidance in self-realization. Its
fruits are Dead Sea apples when the
self is not worth realizing. Educa-
ton cannot turn a poor mind into a
good one any more than it can turn a
good mind. into a poor one.
"But has environment no power to
influence heredity? Biologists are
still debating the relative Importance
Of the two factors. All would admit,
however, than environment is more
powerful in human beings than in the
lower animals. The right environ
ment could not have given Arthur a
different basic equipment, but it might

How to Make Mounting
for Spider-Web Coils

Spider-we6 coils are very easily con-
suucted and because of their efficiency
they have found favor for amateur re-
ceiving sets. The difficulty in mount
ing these coils has presented a STUN
bling block to beginners and has more
or less retarded their general adop-
ton.
First obtain some fairly thin sheet
brass. cutting it TO size and shape as
required. For a movable or coupling
mounting, two right-angle brass strips
are fastened TO the panel as shown.
They can be one-half-inch wide, the
length depending upon the personal
wishes of the builder Two more strips
of almost the same size, except for the
fanges which are set as shown to clasp
the coil terminals. are cut and pivOted
to the first angles. Use 6-32-inch ma
chine screws and hexagon nuts for
pivOts and for clamping the angles TO
the panel. To each coil affix the small
brass strips cut to the shape indicated.

CHECKS IN GERMANY
Customers Hang Up Hats and Sticks
and Then Prepare for Close
Examination.

Bank etiquette in Germany is unique
In one great Hanover bank 1 watched
the customers. First they walked TO
the center Of the big marble lobby and
hung up their hats and sticks just as
you would do here on entering a hotel
dining room. You soon understand why
they strip for action when you see
what an exhaustive test Of endurance
it is to get a check cashed. You pass
it in at one window; clerks gather,
whisper, study the check, telephone
upstairs, make notes on its margin
doubtfully. "AugenbIicki" they finally
tell you which means wait an eye
wink.
You wait. Others crowd about the
window. Finally you. too hang up
your hat and coat and sit down to look
al picture book on the reading table
in the lobby. If you glance up sud
denly, maybe you catch a bunch OF
clerks whispering together, looking at
you suspiciously. Finally, if you're
lucky. you hear your name shouted.
and at another window a pile Of marks
is pushed out.
Every deposit account here has
number, and this number must show on
your check. Some firms even print
their official bank account number on
their tterheads.-Saturday Evening

heard clearly and easily all over a
medlum-sized room and for a distance
OF about 40 feet from the horn. The
tone was excellent and showed little or
no tendency to over-vibrate on the
high notes.
The norm Itself is made from stiff
red cardboard similar to that used as
covers for notebooks, and this material
may be purchased for about 10 cents
at any stationery store. Lay out the
design with ruler and compass to
the dimensions shown. Cut ont the
parts and bend them to the required
shape, taking care to make no sharp
bends in the cardboard. A little trim
ming may be necessary to make the
edges around the curves fit nicely.
The secret Of assembling the horn
IS in the use Of surgeons adhesive
tape. which seems to have peculiar
affinity for the cardboard and makes
an excellent cementing tape for the
corners. This tape may be purchased
at the drug store; it should be one
half inch wide and cost about Is cents.
In assembling the horn, cut the tape
into strips about ten inches long and
fasten the inside seams first, pressing
the tape firmly in place and rubbing
with small block of wood

box at hand or specially constructed
to any desired dimensions. The cover,
which is to support the horn and re-
ceiver below, should preferably be at
least one-half inch thick. To receive
the horn a square tapered hole should
be cut through the cover. Push the
horn firmly in the hole and glue 1t In
place or attach it on the under side OF
the cover by four strips Of adhesive
tape reaching up inside the horn. The
cover may be hinged to the box to IA
cilitate a quick change Of receivers

To hold the receiver tight against
the bottom Of the horn, two clips Of
brass or iron should be fastened to the
under side Of the cover and bent In
such shape as to hold one Of your par.

place. A slot should be cut In the side
OF the box to receive the phone cord.
To operate the horn, first tune your
set to maximum loudness. using the
headphones. When optimum adjust
