Something to Think About
By BRUNO LESSING

In his own country, today, that
middle class seems TO be in the sad
die.
In our own country-which, TO the
most Of us. is the only country that
counts-we figure out classes and
elements and interests, ETC., with pen
Gil and paper and study their political
effect. How many votes have the
farmers? How many votes have the
labor unions? How many votes have
the taxpayers and rent payers and
toiiers who are neither farmers nor
members of any trade union?
II we had Mussolini who could
command the following Of that great
independent bulk of American citi-
zenry which does not farm and does
not belong to a union and is not Or
ganized under any banner, he would
sweep the country.
Mussolini now says that the present
parliamentary system is dead. 1t
was good enough for past ages, but
it does not work today. His phrase,
parliamentary system" includes our
own Congress. Many thinking people
will agree with him.
Many cranks. reformers and boil
sheviks would like Congress TO be in
session all day and all night in order
to pass endless, idiotic legislation.
An occasional Mussolini is a great
thing for a nation. He clarifies the
air. He cuts the red tape. He in
PRODUCES needed reforms. He ignores
laws and precedents. He upholds
right and justice. He gives a nation
a breathing spell and fresh start.
Above all, he gives a nation something
healthy TO think about.
But the trouble is that when n Mus
solini dies, the Mussolini Jr., who sue
ceeds him has his fathers appetite for
eating, but lacks his power of diges-
tion. He usually inherits every trait
Of tyranny and no trait Of genius.
Which brings you back TO the world
old choice between beneficent die
tator and the stupidity Of democracy.
So, perhaps, It is better for us to
sit back and watch what happens 10
Italy under Mussolini, give him a
hand when he deserves il and, mean
while. stick to our own form Of gov
crnment. Some grafters will get in,
many incompetents are sure TO get in,
but, after all, it is our own mess.
And we don't want any juniors
10 take over the reins Of misgoyern-
mcnt, just because their fathers were
smart people.

Playing Santa Claus
to Adults
AVE you completed your Christmas shopping?

r AVE you completed your Christmas shopping?
HI There only eight more shopping days be-
= = tween and Christmas! All of us know that
Christmas Day falls regularly on December %, and that
today is the fifteenth of the month"; but few of fully
realize that such brief period remains in which to do
our Christmas shopping and mailing.
Christmas shopping requires more thought today
undoubtedly than ever before. There is wider
variety of articles from which to select Christmas pres
ents. Furthermore the giving of Christmas presents
IS regarded today as somewhat of an art.
There is no better proof of the existence of
derstanding friendship love than appropriate gift
The child of course very frankly enumerates his de-
sres for the information of Santa Claus. The adult
a rule seldom expresses his wants verbally, and then
only to his nearest of kin. Santa Claus has much
easier time with children than with adults.
Christmas shopping, if done hastily and in hap
hazard manner is form of drudgery to be dreaded
and does nothing to foster the Christmas spirit Part of
the pleasure in giving from the anticipation of the
If make selections thoughtlessly if make no
effort to detect unspoken DESIRES giving becomes
almost meaningless rite.
This does not mean that we should necessarily
subscribe to the tenets of the formerly famous Society
for the Prevention of Useless Giving Sometimes adults
in with children want things of no practical
value.
If you haven't completed your Christmas shopping
try putting into practice your knowledge of psychology
and human nature. Read that big desire of wife hus-
band aunt uncle brother sister friend and read the
advertisements. Perhaps in the advertisements you
may find clue that will enable you to ascertain the
desires of the prospective recipients When you have
done these things do your Christmas shopping without
delay.
There's lot of fun to be derived from playing Santa
Claus to adults.

Flappers' Dress

IN R. HERBERT R. STOLZ, State supervisor of physi-
i j cal education in California, rises to refute the
accusations that made against the modern
flapper.
She is alleged to offend by wearing short skirts
rougng her face, rolling her stockings and forth.
DR.. Stoz says that short skirts permit freedom of
movement and hence enhance health He says the days
are gone when long dresses stirred up the sidewalk
germs walked along the streets.
The loose waists in vogue also allow free cir
culaon and digestion whereas the restrained waists Of
former days were barbarous
As for rolled stockings, that is simply matter of
carriers The doctor says that construction of the limbs
below the knee is less harmful than above.
Whether the hair is long short in way effects
the health Of the individual She it any way
she thinks she looks best Hair is glory to some women
Others look better with theirs bobbed
Cosmetics harmless to health and at most may
cause the skin to bleach slightly
Low shoes mean a large heel base and give greater
freedom of activity and help the posture of the wearer
On the whole the flapper of today garments
that are distinctly in advance of those of former age

new way. Make gements incom-
patible with the old. Take a public
pledge if the case allows.
The greater the momentum at the
start the less likely there will be an
immediate temptation to break down.
And every day a breakdown is post
poned adds to the chances of its not
coming ut all.
.. Never let an exception take place
until the new habit is firmly rooted in
your life. Continuous repetition is
what gives the habit power. "Each
lapse is like letting fall a ball of
string you are winding. A single slip
undoes more than great many turns
will wind up again"
3. After making q resolution seize
the first opportunity to act upon it.
Never make a resolution or feel an
emotion TO do right without express
ing it afterwards in some active way.
4. Keep the habit alive and strong
by n little daily exercise. do some
thing every day or two for no other
reason than you would rather do it, so
that when the hour of dire need draws
near the muscles of habit will not
have grown flabby and unframed.
James says the man who has daily
cultivated the habits of concentrated
attention and self-denial in unneces-
sary things when the real test comes
stands like a tower when everything
rocks around him."
Following these four rules, based
upon everyday common sense, this
famous psychologist says is all that
is necessary to remember TO build up
strong and invincible muscles of the
soul.

Average Growth of Babies
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.

In every household the new baby
is a wonder, All the family, from
grandma down TO the remote rela-
tons, talk and dream about the
charming youngster.
The mother is happy beyond words.
She bills and COOS over this little
soul, contented beyond words. The
dear mother wishes the bnby might
stay a baby forever. She breads the
day when the child will be grown
up"
Not so with father, He can hard
~ wait till the kid gets big enough
10 argue with and TO go fishing"
His dreams for the child are not Of
the present, but of the future.
But whether we want the baby to
grow or not, he just will. 1t isn't
long before he stands on his feet, takes
a totterng step or so, and then is
on the run about the house and yard.
A very tiny baby is absolutely
helpless. For the first few days after
birth it has very slight control Of its
body. Voluntary movement is impos-
sible.
/ am always impressed by the
marvel Of the baby calfs ability TO
walk. 1t will struggle 10 its feet
Immediately after birth and, pretty
staggeringly, it must be admitted,
will make its way across the field.
But the human baby, with an in
telligent mother 10 look after its
wants, has no need 10 be able to walk
for months after lite birth. IS little
muscles, the features Of the face and
even the control Of It's head are be-
yOnd self-mansgc -cnt. The baby
stays where it is put and is hardly
conscious Of the world and its in
habitants.
What q wonderful change takes
place during the two or three months
after birth. In a half year it is
playing with toys and il making an
effort TO stand on the feet. II is
creeping at seven or eight months
and before the first birthday arrives
The little chap can walk alone.
Don't get discouraged if the baby
does not walk or talk at an early
age. Some children seem to be in
no hurry about getting about or eX-
pressing an Opini n. They will make
up for these matters later.
We want the baby TO grow in
height and weight. The scales give
a very good idea OF this physical prog
rose. They are the best test Of
whether or not the feeding arrange
ments are perfect.

And why should be ashamed II our
minds or the mind Of relative or

Is not the brain the most important
organ in the whole system?
Is IL not the brain that receives the
most strain?
Why should not the brain give way
II other organs do? -
Why should there be any stigma at

As n matter Of fact there isn't, Of
course. But unless insanity be recog-
nized in more sensible terms than now
by the great majority Of the popula-
ton, adequate steps by state and civil
authorities will not be taken to house
the insane properly and to stop the
increase of the malady.
During 20 years insanity has in
creased over 100 per cent.
But our hospital facilities have not
increased in like proportion.
Our modern life is growing more
and more complex.
We are being subjected continually
10 more and more mental stress and

On the one hand we must learn how
to guard against excessive strain.
On the other hand we must be sym

Though it is quite true that an ex-
tremely large number of congressman
and senators break into public life
through the legal profession, it is sur
prising how many other callings and
professions have been represented in
the national legislature.
Ono, for instance, who served a few
years in the House Of Representatives,
was an upholsterer.
He was born in Cincinnati and
though he had to 20 to work at an
early age, was able to fight his way

taking night courses.
He got his first job with the Robert

The more one studies the words and
actions Of this man Mussolini the
more one realizes that he is a unique
figure, created by this age, by the
conditions Of his own country, and,
above all, by the demoralizing eff
fects Of the late war. He seems to be
the figurehead of the middle classes.
He defies capitalism and autocracy
and organized explorations of the
common people. On the other hand.
he defies communism, disorder and
even organized labor.
He is deified by the clerks, the
bookkeepers, the petty officials, the
shopkeepers and that vast middle
class which has not resources enough
to be ranked among the capitalist, and
yet has initiative and intelligence
enough to be excluded from the rank
of the farmer and the laborer.
