made no difference in Philips out
ward circumstances, 1t may have
eased off the strain of the constant
mental comparison of himself to his
father and made the next five or six
years of plugging away in the class
room and the laboratory somewhat
more bearable. To the world outside
Philip seemed a very charming young
man; not, to be sure, the equal of
his father, but for all that promis.
ing teacher. 1t was only to himself
that he appeared hopeless, pitiable
failure, kept going only by the need
to support his wife and mother.
Then one day the young man, at
the persistent urging of an older
friend. read a paper on some biologi.
cal research he had been making be-
fore a scientific society. The study
had seemed to Philip to inconseque1-
tial to publish, but the society who
heard it recognized it's worth and con-
graduated him.
AS a result he returned to his
laboratory and to his teaching with
new grip on himself and the world.
Today he is professor of biology at a
first-class university, contented and
successful man.
Philip r. was able eventually TO
triumph over his external circum-
stances by reason Of his strong per-
sonality. His course would have been
much simpler and the danger of fail
ure much less if in the first place he
had chosen for himself career of an
entirely different nature from that of
his father, though encouraged in his

decision by his fathers sympathetic
understanding. This would have
greatly lessened the chances for
jealousy, perhaps unconscious. on the
part Of the father for fear his son
would surpass him, or of envy on the
part of the son because of his father 5
superior abilities and attainments.
But since Philips talents were actu-
ally of the same sort as his father S,
and since he did have keen interest
in teaching, 1t would have been wiser
for him to accept position in town
where his father was not known and
where he would have been accepted
for what he himself was, and not con-
stantly evaluated in the light OF his
fathers achievements and personal
qualities. He would thus have escaped
the mental strain which resulted from
that constant comparison in his own
mind with his more brilliant parent
and would have been free to devote all
his energies to the work he loved
*
A MOTHER type of failure due to
family situations occurs in homes
of great wealth. The answers to
some of the problems arising from
wealth are obvious enough. Overin-
dulgence, for instance, leads to waste,
idleness and weakness. But this may
he said to be result not Of wealth
itself but Of foolishness and bad judg-
ment in distributing it.
The case of William T., however,
shows the dangers which arise not
from overindulgence by rich and fool
ish relations, but from wealth itself.

STORY OF CHEWING GUM.

mo official statistics are at hand to
show the number of Americans
who use chewing gum, but conserva-
tive estimate places the number at
10, 0,000,0 900. These may be divided into
two classes--the inveterate or habit
ual gum chewers and the ccasional
cheWers, under the latter head may
he placed school children. who for the
most part are not permitted to chew
during study hours.
According to figures compiled by the
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, the United States imported in
a recent year 13,401.415 pounds of
chicle, valued at $751; 500. The word
"chicle" to most persons in this coun.
try does not mean much. 1t appears
that the word is of Aztec origin and
Is the name given to the sap of the
sapota tree, botanically known as the
sapota zapotilla. 1t is this sap that is
the basis of practically all the chew
ing gum made in the United States.
The sapota tree Is usually found in
groups. frequently attaining a. height
of from 40 to so feet, is generally
very straight and has long, clear
length. which makes it most desirable
as timber. The wood Is of reddish
mahogany color, is quite hard, heavy,
compact and fine.grained. Door

wood have been unearthed in the pre-
historic ruins Of Uxnal and found to

MANY of the works of the old mas
A'A ters are not signed. Experts
rarely rely on signatures alone in de-
termining the authenticity of an old
work, but trust rather to their knowi
edge of the painters technic.
False signatures can be easily de-
tected. Spirits of wine or turpen-
tine will usually remove a name OF
later date than the painting. In the
course of time signatures often be-
ocme very difficult to find. Painted
originally in a shade slightly lighter
than the ground perhaps, they sink
in, darken and merge into the ground
color, or they are almost rubbed
away by successive cleanings. Rec
ogniZable one day in specially Ia
vorable light, they may not be visi-
BILE again for weeks.
Experts speak Of the "will-o'-the-
wisn' signatures, and many col
lectors have encountered accidental
strokes and cracks that tantalizinGly
suggest signature, though 1t can
never be made definite. On the other
hand. there have been remarkable
cases of such marks. after careful
study. resolving themselves into
famous name.
Sometimes the painters name Is
most conspicuous, as. for instance. in

this school, and though he did not at
once cease his Dragging and attempts
at bullying. 1le soon found that they
meant nothing in his new environ
ment. His tales of his fathers wealth
did not impress his schoolmates, for
their fathers had perhaps 10 times as
much. 1t was useless for him to
boast of his physical prowess. for his
schoolmates could beat him at games,
could outrun him, could swim faster
than he, and could fight better. And
so it was in every type of activity.
Gradually it dawned upon him that
his bullying of the servants had
merely antagonized them and his
playmates spoiled his chances of max
ing real friends. He came to the
realization that people are judged by
the things they do and are. not by
what they think they are or by the
money their fathers happen to have.
He came to recognize other values
than money values, to set new stand
ards for himself. He lost his self-con-
seriousness about his money, for in
this atmosphere it did not differentiate
him from any one else-and so he
came to regard it not as the pivot
about which his whole world revolved,
but as q circumstance--as Henry
Adams accepted two Presidents in his
family, not realizing until he was II
years old that every family did not
have a President.

I'm fattening turkeys for market
an excellent plan is to begin about
the first of October t. feed both night
and morning. giving just enough at
time to make the birds go away a
little hungry. The quantity is grad
ually increased until the turkeys are
given all they will clean up three
times a day during the week before
marketing. Equal parts of wheat and
oats are feed during the first part of
the fiattening season, changing to
corn as the weather becomes colder.
Old corn is to be preferred rather than
new corn. but it must be free from
mustiness. Nuts OF various kinds.
such as chestnuts. beechnuts and
acorns are frequently available. and
these make good fattening feeds.
"Confining turkeys during the fat
tening season to prevent their using
so much energy in ranging has been
tried TO some extent, but with little
success. Those confined TO a pen eat
heartily for two or three days, but
afterwards lose their appetite and be-
gin to lose flesh rapidly. On allowing
them to range freely again, they pick
up quickly and are soon eating as
heartily as ever The better method
is to allow them certain amount of
range, as it keeps them in good
healthy condition, and they are always
eager TO be fed

THE picturesque turkey drives"
are still an annual event in some
sections of the country. but are be-
coming less popular than formerly
for it has been conclusively demon
strated that such drives" are hard
on the birds and cause them to lose
weight. Six or eight men can drive
900 turkeys 10 or l. miles n day,
stopping at each farm they pass, in
specting the farmers crop buying
those he wishes to sell, and adding
them tn the drove. Payment is made,
of course, on a basis Of weight. The
American Poultry Association has a

His family does not live ostentatlously,
IL sincerely interested in the highest
things, gives William reasonable al
lowance and does not permit him to
exceed it. To be sure, he lives In an
atmosphere of luxury. with retinue
of servants attendant. In these sur
roundings the boy, probably .innately
truculent and boastful, has become al
most unbearab.e by his constant brag-
ging to his playmates of his own pos.
sessions and his parents position and
influence, and by his bullying Of the
servants and his persistent reminding
them of their dependent position. If
he continues so, he may, because of
the influence of his family, not turn
out a business failure, but 1t is quite
certain that he will turn out a human
one
The very fact that Williams par
ents have exercised q certain degree
OF wisdom in dealing with him made 1t
difficult to see where their mistake lay
and what should be done to correct it.
His father. in desperation, decided to
place him in the public schools, where
he would be thrown with an entirely
different class of boys-boys whose
fathers were laborers. mechanics,
clerks and the like, whose homes
might be comfortable enough, but GER
tainly would boast no luxuries such as
Williams did.
It was pointed out to them that this
association would only increase VIII
liam's sense of superiority and he
would be ''lording it over" his school
mates all the more because he knew
that their economic status was actu-
ally far below his own. Instead, they
were told of splendid school COM
posed of boys whose fathers names
stood for wealth and power all over
the country, whose social position was
as far above Williams as his was
above the boys in his public school.
Nevertheless, the surroundings and
the routine Of the school were of the
simplest sort, and the boys were ex-
pected to do their own chores. such as
making their beds. keeping the rooms
tidy, mending their clothes and keep
ing them in order. and many odd jobs
about the buildings and the grounds.
Accordingly, William was entered in

lery did not know he was a failure
and did not recognize the difference
between his fathers contribution TO
the world and his own makes the sit
uation even more regrettab,e.
What Ellery did not see was that
his fathers apparently effortless life
was not actually effortless. but the re-
suit of a very definite gift, spirit
uality which enabled him to give
comfort and spiritual guidance to his
people. Because his father possessed
this rare quality it did not follow that
Ellery inherited 1t. If the sons of
ministers could be made to see that
their fathers power is due to a quail.
ity as definite, for example, as a fine
singing voice, they would understand
that if they did not possess this quail
ity their greatest effectiveness would
lie in a field entirely different from tho
ministry. Indeed. it has been OBJ
served that ministers sons are often
most successful when they enter Ut.
terly different lines of work.
Another type of situation which
leads to failure occurs in families
OF broken-down aristocracy. In this
are when so many people find their
salvation in work, whether they need
to earn their livings or not, this prob
lem IL not so widespread as it once
was. but nevertheless there are still
many instances where the change
from luxury to penury Is devastating

this type. His father was not only
