order that they may get on better.
They are far more likely to blame the
environment than themselves for their
misfortunes, as the pine tree might
have complained Of the wind that tore
its branches, and fought to wrench 1t.
from its hold upon the mountain. Such
people seldom think Of yielding to the
wind, of making themselves happy and
comfortable In a situation to which
they are at first unused. They perish
as the pine tree did that refused to
adapt itself to an untoward situation.
/ suppose the Gatlins went home
and complained of the people who
went to church early, and so robbed
them of their accustomed seat, or Of
the usher who was so stupid as not to
hold their places for them. If they
had only thought so, they might have
fiourished quite as happily in the nor
surroundings.

ADAPTATION
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

6X TOWA0 AhN@@ OA-sN's'~
TIME Gatlins had always sat In the
4 same seat every Sunday they were
In church since the building was erect
ed. They had come to feel at home
there and to settle down comfortably
into their pew and listen to the ser
mon or go to sleep as the spirit or
the bad air moved them. Last Sunday
they came In a little late and found
their accustomed place occupied. The
usher led them down in front and put
them into a pew to which they were
not accustomed. They tried not to
mind: they squirmed about for a
while, and then, just as we rose for
the second hymn, they stole out, I'M
able to adapt themselves happily to
the new situation.
Adaptation is a lesson which every
thing in nature, human or otherwise,
must learn If it is to persist or be
happy.
We were climbing up to the top of
Hallett last summer. AS we went on
and on up the winding path to the
summit the vegetation gradually
changed. The pine trees grew more
scattered and more stunted. They
chung more closely to the protecting
lodges, and became more gnarled and
misshapen. They leaned away from
the fierce winds, so that they might
more readily protect themselves. until,
when we got to the border Of timber
line, they were lying PROSTATE upon
the ground, so that the storm and
the cruel winds swept over them quite
harmlessly.
Through centuries of conflict and re-
sistance to the elements the trees had
learned an adaptation to their envi-
'ronment which had entirely changed
their form and their method of life.
Had they not done so they would have
persisted. Through proper adapta-
ton of their habits to the unfavorable
environment in which they found
themselves. they had lived, and 1t
could almost be said. had fiourished.
We see everywhere. about us people
out of adjustment with their environ
ment, misfits who are unhappy and
unwilling to change their habits of
life. or to yield their preferences in

Japan is being swept by an epidemic
of kissing The outbreak is due to the
wide popularity of American films and
was "caught" from pictures of love
dramas and the apparent delight in it
shown by those who practice this nov

VACATIONS

NANCY and I were going on a va
Az cation, and. as usual, 1t was
necessary to take an early morning
train. We got to bed In season so as
to have the proper amount of sleep
before rising, but I was little nerv-
Gus lest we oversleep, SO, lay awake
most of the night listening to the
clock, only to fall into a sound sleep
from which I was reused barely In
time to get into my clothes before the
taxi man rang the bell.
The depot was full Of people going
off on their vacations as we were; the
train was two hours late-I might just
as well have had my usual morning
snooze.
l found an unoccupied seat on the
train for Nancy when it arrived, and
stretched out to drop off to sleep. Then
the newsboy began to call his wares
In most insistent tones. would drip
off to sleep when he would come in
bawling out a new ware and waken
me. .
The room to which 1 was assigned
at the hotel was a little box lighted
by one small window that admitted
the blazing sun but seemed to let in
no air. 1t contained a chair, small
mirror, a packing box, curtained and
covered with towel in place of
washstand, and bed. 1t was the bed
that stirred most thought In my mind.
1t was a ramshackle affair, full of
strange curves and of curious outlines,
The mattress was stuffed with an IT.
regular hard substance that gathered
in Jumps and punches which worked
themselves into my tender flesh. The
springs were as sway-back as
a broken-down horse and threw me
into half sitting. half reclining posi-
ton that was neither sitting up nor
lying down and left me uncertain as
to my position in life.
We had the usual round of watch
ing the boats come In, of lying on the
sand and getting sunburned, of read
ing light literature under the poplar
trees on the beach, of playing In the
water twice day, and Of seeing who
could swim out to the second sandbar
The two weeks came to an end. We
took our dirty, dinkey little train again
and ultimately the taxi landed us at
our own front yard. 1t seemed good
to get home. The place never looked
more attractive to me. We had an
appetizing little supper and then very
early / went up to bed
How pleasant the bed felt; how
quiet the house sounded; the soft
breezes stole in from the south and
famed me into the sweetest, soundest
sleep had had since had been away.

PERcY's COMPLEX

DERCY was laboring under an in
\ feriority complex of an acute
character. In other days, before the
Freudean theories and vernacuiar were
generally broadcasted, he would have
been termed shy or bashful by the
flappers of his acquaintance, his father
would have denominated him lazy, his
boy friends would have accused him
Of being yellow or gutless, and his
mother would have bought him bot
tie of bitters or a spring tonic. In
these days of garterless socks and adj
vanced scientific theories, Percy, as l
have said was suffering from an acute
inferiority complex.
Percy was sure that no one loved
him. If you had told him that he did
not amount to anything and that he
never would, he would have admitted
the charge without comment or argu-
ment.
He was having trouble with his
studies when be first came within
range of my vision-algebra 1t was, /
believe, or possibly it was Latin.
Whatever it was, Percy was deter
mined that he could not do it.
which is the same as being deter
mined that he would not. Whenever
a boy, or man for that matter, makes
up his mind that he cannot do some
simple thing that has to be done, even
If it's only fixing the furnace or now
ing the lawn, or putting a fresh
washer on the leaky kitchen faucet,
you can be sure that 1t won't be done.
At any rate, Percy flunked the sub
ject that he had made up hiG mind he
couldn't do, as happens in all such
cases When anyone admits failure,
trust him to funk.
He didn't get on well with the girls.
When a girl came around, he blushed
scarlet, settled back into corner, and
shut up like clam.
1t was not long before the boys be-
gan to pick on Percy, to rag him and
give him the raspberties whenever he
came in sight. Percy was as strong
as an OK. He could have made sausage
meat out OF any TWO OF the fellows
who were turning life into little hell
for him.
why don't you mop the ground up
with them?" asked him one day when
he had been especially hectored.
"Do you think could?"
SIN sure of it." And he did. For
the first time he realized his strength
and freed himself from his complex.
He is. in fact, quite the boy now.
He plays on the football team, and
goes with the girls, and passes his
studies, and sometimes sits in the
front row at a show. Even father,
who Is the doubter of the family, thinks
maybe Percy will amount to something
yet, and Percy himself has been heard
to say that when he gets into business
they want to watch his dust.

employed have now taken definite
places in the Nations work. They
enjoyed their new industrial independ-
ence found in war experience, and
when the boys came home large num-
berS of them did not go back into the
homes they had left. This, coupled
with the decrease in production which
came about early in 1921, resulted in a
situation different from any we had
ever experienced before. There was
need to absorb more of our own work
ers, and just at that time new wave
of immigration set in.
Who would have suffered most by
this growing surplus of labor had it
been permitted to increase at the rate
indicated during the fiscal year 1921,
when the better part of 100000 i'm
migrants were received?
Reports which came to US from
abroad indicated that millions more
might be expected to come just as fast
as ships could race back and forth
across the Atlantic to carry them.
The tide had already set in when the
special session Of Congress called by
President Harding put up the emer-
