Under Woman'S Care

n TATISTICS prove married men live longer than
-, bachelors, according to nationally known insur-
~ official attending the convention here.
Most women will agree that man is a little boy il
taking of himself. Mans incompetency, real or
apparent, offers for woman to display her
maternal instinct 1t is not unusual for to hear
frail woman admonshing her big hulk of husband
to his food, dress and conduct.
Statistics from Marys point of view, proves she is
right when she says she knows what best for john
On the other hand John may assert that the
longevity of the benedict is attributable not much to
the loving and the superior tutelage of the wife
to the sedatenes the regular habits and the discipline
of the marital state. John may not think much of wo
mans natural qualifications dietican if he has taken

Freaks Of Nature
Fisherman Spider.

The most resourceful member OF
the spider family is the fisherman
He catches his prey much in the
same manner as a fisherman troll
ing from a boat. by having several
lines in play all Of the time. This
clever spider begins his web at a
secluded hole and extends the trap
lines out into the open BY means
Of supporting piers. When a vic
tim happens to touch one Of the
trap lines, the spider springs upon
It with all the speed it can mus
ter. With Elk Of its eight legs
ready for the leap, the spidr waits
for its unfortunate victim in much
the sane way that a cat waits for
a mouse to appear.

Since the public at large has be-;
come more interested in the funda-
mental causes of crime. and also has
paid more attention to mental alb
normality in general, 1t is not I'M
common to hear and see the term
"psychopath" employed.
What is n psychopath?
A psychopath is not an insane
person.
A psychopath is not a feeble
minded person.
A psychopath is an individual
that somehow falls "betwixt and be-
tween" these two broad classes Of
mental abnormality.
To summarize the psychopaths
peculiarities in definition, one
might say that he is an individual
upon whom an ordinary stimulus
has an extraordinary effect!
In other words, whereas person
with a normal emotional makeup
will respond with gladness or sad
ness to a happening or piece Of
news that should make him glad or
sad, a psychopath may respond in
an opposite way or he may display
no feeling Whatsoever.
The same holds true for the other
emotions such as pity, kindness, love
or such abstract emotional con-
cepts as justice, mercy, charity, pa
triotism, etc. "
Psychopaths may be Of average
intelligence, or Of inferior intelli-

And this last is the reason why
they may be SO distinctly and un-

In psychology we distinguish be-
tween purely intellectual processes
and emotional processes.
Psychopaths may be gifted intel
lectually, but emotionally they are
always deficient!
With such emotional inadequacy
you have an individual. who dares
conceive anything, is afraid Of moth
ing, and has absolutely no sense OF
Justice, pity or consequences.
And the worst of it is that at the
present day psychopaths go unrecos-
nized by the courts!
The courts only recognize as ir-
responsible states, insanity and fee
ble-mindedness because persons suf-
fering from these conditions do not
know the difference between right
and wrong.
The psychopath does know this
difference-but what of III

Why Young People Should Acquire Good General

There are many specialists who

more thorough they might have gone
farther in that particular direction
toward which they are now rapidly
propclling themselves.
The very fact that you are at the
top Of any trade or art leads Others
to expect more OF you in a general
way.
All education "dove-tails." The

Diamonds and Rocks

A important discovery has been made in East
n Africa. A diamond mine containing an unusual
number of stones of fine quality has been found.
If a hundred such mines were found the news would
be much important, but from a different view.
point Diamonds would then be so much gravel.
A diamond is pure carbon So is lampblack. Coal,
probably, is the form of carbon most familiar
with. Nature has given this mineral in generous
quantities.
But knowing the vanity of man, nature in her
volcanic laboratories crysalized of this carbon
and hid away Spurred by vanity sought it out
at tremendous sacrifice 1t hard to get Therefore
it was desired
If more mines are found and diamonds can be
bought by every shopgi the stones will lose no whit of
of their beauty.
But how many rich women would wear them then?
There is no likelihood that diamonds will become
cheap, however. Diamonds not put on the market
as fast as they are mined.

You see scores of these attractive
creatures in a small town, every
day, thousands of them in the bigger
cities and hundreds Of thousands Of
them in the metropolis.
What is the dominant thought in
their minds? What is the ope sub
ject that interests them above every
thing else?
The thought that dominates their
mind is Love. The only thing in
which they are all sincerely interest
ed is Love. All else is more or less
immatcrial to them.
Which is exactly as II should
be. There were little chickens and
flappers and peaches parading the
streets Of Tyre and Carthage and
Athens and Rome many centuries
ago whose minds were dominated by
this same idea. And for the little
civilization which we possess today,
We ought to be grateful for this
fact.

No Medals for Josephine.
By S. E. KISER

Mabel Yields the racquet with such
skill as few display;
She has won a dozen matches, and
gets better every day;
It is wonderful to watch her as she
hops about the court;
There can be no doubt that Mabel
has talent for the sport;
She is known from coast to coast;
Every day or two, almost,
She achieves another triumph for
the papers to report.
Alice is a swimmer, and her fame
is spreading far;
She's n wonder in the water; it's
agreed that she's a star;
There are few men who can match
her for endurance or or
speed;
Furthermore, she has figure that
is beautiful, indeed;
Oft her picture may be seen
Where it's flashed upon the
screen;
She has medals by the dozen-more
than any girl could need.

LARGE NUMBER VACCINATED

Recently QUESTIONABLE was sent
to all schools in this county in re-
gard to vaccination. This was done
so as to submit to the people through
the papers the progress that is be-
ing made to date in regard to Sec
ton 1929-193O of the Code of Vir-
ginia.
Fifty schools have reported TO

teachers; 105 have been vaccinated
In these fifty schools there are en-
rolled 1892 children of whom 2203
have been yaccinated In thirty-four
Of these schools physicians visited
the schools and yaccinated a consid-

there were only SIS charity cases
only 113 children lost time because
of vaccination. Ninety heads of fam
lilies so far have refused to have theiI
children vaccinated. In these sc
families, 125 children are represent
ed and 81 children have presented
certificates from reputable physicians
to the effect that they are not in {

From the above figures it may b.
seen that 1914 per cent Of the chill
