follow the old groove. Habit keeps
men working at disagreeable tasks.
Habit keeps the sailor on the lonely
sea through the stormy cold winter,
and habit keeps the miner at his task
in darkness and Nloneliness. Habit
keeps social groups from mixing.
Habit tends to keep the good with
the good and the bad with the bad,
and hence habit keeps men from
crime and keeps them In crime
when once started. What we see and
hear in a situation is determined by
past mental habits, and by habits
of observation. We see with what we
have seen. Children are born with
predispositions to certain habits; e.g.,
the irritable person develops certain
habits easily, certain others come to
the slow plodder, the pessimist, etc.
1T, as Professor James says. 80
per cent of our activity Is habitual,
it is impossible to overemphasize the
formation of proper habits. 1t is
possible for people to become au-
tomaticaily good or automatically
bad, to do things that are moral or
immoral as thoughtlessly and un-
consciously as they lock a door or
follow the proper method in walking
or riding a bicycle. Habit is like a
ban kaccount, for 1t may be like
continually growing debt. Good
habits, like unexpected legacies,
often surprise us by blessing us,
while bad habits return like ghosts
to curse us.
Habit is altogether Indifferent to
its subject matter. It's works alike
with the good and with the bad.
That moral leaders Of the past have
recognized the place Of habit In the
formation Of character is indicated
by old proverbs: Habit Is either
the best OF servants or the worst of
masters (Emerson). we first make
our habits. and then our habits
make us. The chains Of habit are
generally too small to be felt until
they are too strong to be broken

, them off,-'tis being nayed alive
Happy is the man whose habits are
his friends (Shakespeare). 'Educa-
ton is nought but the formation of

Ill habits gather by unseen degrees,
as brooks make rivers. rivers run to

EXPLAINS MAN IS
Creature Of HABIT
Prof. Vaughan Says It May
Make or Break Him

How habit may lift a man up or
cast him down was explained at a
meeting OF Everyman's Bible class
by Prof. D. d. Vaughan yesterday.
Habit, IL persisted in. may make a
man industrious and the conquerer
OF himself or it may strip him Of all
manhood and force him down into
paths which lead to moral death, he
explained. In part, Prof. Vaughan
spoke as follows:
skill is the result OF habit. 1t is
only by constant repetition that acts
finally become automatic. Habit d.
minishes the constant attention with
Which our acts are performed; e. s.,
the marksman's rapid. accurate
movement in bringing down game,
the pianist's automatic accuracy as
his eye meets the musical signs on
the page. In action that has become
habitual, each new muscular con-
traction is instigated not by thought,
but by the sensation occasioned by
the muscular contraction just fin
ished. We may say our prayers or
repeat the alphabet with our atten-
ton far away. The knitter keeps on
with her knitting while reading, con-
versing, or allowing her thoughts to
wander. Habit is the lubricant
which reduces the friction of life to
a point where progress is possible
Any animal that can be trained de-
velops habits, for training Is the
establishment OF desired habits. The
horse learns to stop be-
fore certain houses in the block, the
COWS come to the gate at milking
time instead Of going to the other
end of the pasture. Habits not only
affect the brain, but organs of the
body that act more or less involun-
tarily; e. g., the stomach may be ac-
customed to three meals a day or to
five meals.
Habit saves society from uprising
by causing people to conservatively

Keep Cool and Have
Good Memory. This View

Philadelphia, Dec. 20. Cfo--H you
want to have a good memory, keep
cool, is the advise given students by
DR.. Edgar Fahs Smith. former proc
vost of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania.
The formula, according to DR..
Smith who is one of the worlds best
known chemists has been respon-
sible for his own ability to retain
names.
THE trouble with most forgetful
people is that they become excited
when they attempt to recall Incl
dents out Of the hazy past" said
DIR. Smith. 1--WE have no better ex-
ample than the college student. If
he could look upon an examination
paper as calmly as he regards mat
ters of life. he probably would have
very little trouble. Fear and excite
ment get him muddled-all because
he doesn't keep cool"

fort should be made to have good
habits result In a favorable reaction,
and to have bad habits result un-
favorably. One of the mistakes of
the past In dealing with prisoners,
as in the moral training of children,
has been a mere drill in matters of
outward behavior. when perhaps,
within the will, habits Of antagonism
were being developed; e. g., using
wrong methods in forcing children
to attend church. Habits Of failure
are ruinous; e. g.. the constitutional

According to Nose, Lost City is a
Negro district in little hollow
northwest of the intersection of In
diana Ave. and Fall Creek and is so
named because of it's desolate loca-
ton. In former years, while saloons
were flourishing, Lost City was a
