As boys or young mon, they were profoundly impressed by the knowledge and foresight Of the reserved scientist they served.
 One whose contact with him was particularly intimate recalls that in the early ninetics, long before his Aerodrome No. made the first successful flight of heavier-than- air machine driven by it's own pow er, on May 6, 1896, Langley put into words his fear that the flying machine might become an instru- ment Of death and destruction.
 Debating 10 his secretary, he cx- pressed hope that an international convention would be devised 10 pro- hiblt the use of 'aerodromcs" in time of war 10 attack cities and industrial centers.
 He saw the great possibilities of heavicr-than-air flying machines as instruments of war, for recon naissarco and quicl: communication, and as engines Of peace. But he dreaded the thought that any one should die in them or because Of them. For that reason, he insisted upon conducting his flight experi- mentS over water.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE Do
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON, Ph.D.

We have eyes but do not see. We
observe only what interests us.
Attention is selective. 1t is confined
IN one thing at a time and for very
brief periods.
There are six conditions of attention,
which explain why we pay attention
and why we attend to one thing rather
than another.
Intensity-The larger the object.

Duration-Things repeated at in
teryaIs are more effective. Store win
dow displays have to be changed every
so often to attract attention. Danger
SIGNALS and advertising lights that go
ON and off are much more effective
than stationary lights.

Heredity-You are born with GER

nerson. If you have natural talent
for music, you are more likely to be
interested in it than one who has no
musical ability.

His admission to the hard one office
was facilitated by means of a small
card on which the callers name was
inscribed. In one corner the visitor
had written in pencil, AN old friend of

an old college buddy of the potential

Soon two strong men were shaking
each others hands vigorously. Yes,

that he nearly burst out crying. What
could he do for the visitor and friend

to the caller. AS matter of fact, he
had come to do his host favor.
Smith. 1t appeared. had bought set

illustrations were beautifully done and
no man could afford to be without a

extra set himself and send 1t to his

The price was only $6S, nothing at

she would be better off with no night

She is not small compared to her

if she has the right weight in COM

pay attention to what seems impor-
tant to you at the time. If you are
waiting to meet a friend, every per-
son who resembles him will seem to be
your friend at first glance.
We pay attention because we are
interested. Why we are interested
and in what we are interested depends
on the conditions of intensity, dura-
ton and novelty of the object and
upon the idea in mind. heredity and
the past experience of the individual.
The first three are general. They ap-
peal TO all normal people. The last
three are more personal and account
