MIND VERSUS HEART

THE scientific age in which we ara
= living argues that practical re-
suits are the only test of truth. If
theory works it is true, if it fails to
work it is likely untrue. A theory be-
comes a fact only when it can be ex-
planned. An attempt is being made
these days to force everything into
the crucible of science.
The cold and proved facts of sci
ence are one thing and when confined
to their respective spheres offer no
cause for grave concern, but when
science demands that it's testimony
be considered final upon realities to
which it has no vital relation, very
different problem arises.
The attributes of personality and
emotions of the heart transcend all
the claims of science. A mothers
love, paternal pride, the innate sense
of justice and of fair play, the in
herent desire for success and the
fear of failure-what does science
know about these things? A fact in
the eosmic world may be proved true
by scientific research, but the realities
of personality are not to be found at
the end Of a syllogism. Many Of the
most important facts of our daily life
cannot be forced into the crucible Of
science. The practical application Of
the findings of science may make pos
sible many of the comforts and con-
veniences of a house, but science has
nothing to offer that will contribute
to the spirit of home.
The realities in life upon which civil
liZation and the progress Of mankind
depend lie wholly outside the field Of
science. Many times are We obliged
to say-We can neither define nor
analyze these realities, bus e1peri-
ence has demonstrated their value.

Good Habit is as willing to be your

"Just try it out. Try it out in
school, at home. everywhere. Let
grown-ups try it and let boys and girls
try it.
IF you go around with chip on
your shoulder or bit of temper hang
ing about you some one else is going
TO feel unhappy, and then, perhaps,
cross.
And so it goes!
Sometimes, too, if you will start in
by being cheerful early in the morn
ing it will make every one else cheer
full, too, and if you don't feel so very
cheerful, then keep your feelings to
yourself, for they're not nice TO share
with anyone.
pretend you are an automobile.
Pretend you have put yourself into
the high gear of courtesy and have
given bit of step on the accelera-
tor of pleasantness. (The accelerator
MAKES it keep on going.) And then
the motor of good will and good spir-
its will go drumming along so con-
tentedly.
SITS fun to try and a trial costs you
nothing!"
5 This was Eugene's essay. Now you
know Eugene had been taking good
many automobile rides and that was
why he had spoken in automobile Ian
guage, but he had tried to explain it
i'll his essay so that those who did not
know about automobiles would under
stand.
And Eugene's essay was liked be-
cause he really believed what he said
and acted it out.
He wasn't a goody-goOdy, but he
was a good little sport and every one
liked him.
He hated to see people who were
mad at each other and not on speak
ing terms, especially because he knew
how much they wanted to speak TO
each other and yet how they kept
from doing so because of pride.
He always tried to make each go
little more than half way and then
they were sure to meet and fix it up.
So Eugene was polite because he
was friendly and pleasant, and those
were the best manners to have be-
cause they were the kind which
wouldn't wear off.
They were the kind that really
stuck-in bad weather and in good,
at all times!
And Eugene was made the captain
of the ball team in school, which just
goes to show you that really good
manners won't hurt anyone
But they must be real! Not just
put on" and not just "for show"
They must be the real kind that
every one likes-nOt just grown-ups,
but every one of every age.

from friendly nature are the very
best manners to be hadI

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
THE MOONS CHANGES AND THE
WEATHER

THERE is probably no superstition
i more firmly believed in, at least
by agriculturists and dwellers in the
rural districts generally, both in this
country and in Europe, than that the
conditions of the moons changes gov
ern the weather. Here are q few
American ideas on the subject: The
moon changing in the west denotes
fine weather during that moon. The
moon changing near midnight is
prophecy Of fine weather. The wealth
er of the new moon governs the first
quarter Cor first half of that moon.
The weather of the new moon governs
the months weather.
No less a person than Sir John
Herschel, the celebrated astronomer
and physicist, was so impressed by
the common belief with regard to the
influence of the moons changes on
the weather that he made an inyesti-
CATION of the matter and, pron0unc-
ing the truth thereof, constructed an
elaborate table giving the relations be-
NHCCA Il4C LOA1 NIdnSCS dl1u Lie
weather, supporting his conclusions
by a wealth of scientific lore. For a
time that seemed to settle the ques-
ton. Then something caused Sir
John to go over his work again. He
found that he had based his conclu-
sions upon insufficient data, and after
investigating again came out with a
statement that his former conclusions
had been all wrong. There was no
connection whatever between the
moons changes and the weath=s ex-
cept slight tendency to clear wealth
er at the moons full The theory of
relation between the moon and the
weather was relegated once more to
the list of superstitions regarding the
lunar orb which are relics OF noon
worship: echoes of the days when
Isis waved her lotus scepter by the
waters of the Nile.

How 1t Started
"THE SCARLET LETTER"
By JEAN NEWTON

TT is probably through the medium
i of Hawthorne's famous novel by
that name that the scarlet letter" has
become symbol, in figurative speech,
of a woman's badge of shame, the
stigma of lost chastity. For the
character Of Hester Prynne Of the
Scarlet Letter." who was forced by
the narrowness and the prudery of
her day to wear on her breast such
a humiIiating emblem, has become
one of the immortals of literature, IA
miliar even to those who have not
read the book.
For the origin Of the scarlet letter,
however. we must go back beyond
Hawthorne's fiction to the source
from which he derived his material
for the book. For it had its begin
ming not in literature but in life. 1t
was a real punishment inflicted by
early New England moraIists upon
flesh and blood Magdalenes.
From the colony records of New
Plymouth, dated June, 1911, we find
the following prescribed for any fe-
male Pilgrim who might have dallied
from the path of virtue:
ITO wear two Capital Letters, A.
D., cut in cloth and sewed on their
upperInost garment on the Arm and
Back; and if any time they should
be found without the letters so
worne while in this government. they
shall be forthwith taken and pub
uckly whipt."
Although there is here no reference
to its color. this is the scarlet letter"
that has survived in modern speech.

death by drowning in the history Of

The case developed from the death
by drowning in Stump lake of an
automobile mechanic living at Michi-
gan. The man had been sent out to
overhaul an engine in launch and
while he and several other men were
at work the launch tipped over.
One Of his companions pulled the
man to the side Of the up-turned
boar. and instructed him to hold on,
investigation by the bureau showed.
Instead the man tried to climb en-
tirly out Of the water, clambered up
on the bottom of the boat and slid
off the other side. The moral. bureau
officials said, is that every man
should protect. his life by learning to
swim.
