YOUR MIND
And How to Keep 1t Fit
BY PROF. JOSEPH JAsTROW.

may be a fan at two removes and

side on a blackboard in front Of a
newspaper Office.
The easy way to get into the game
is to bet on it. Then you have stake
to win or lose. It adds to the thrill.
Gambling and sporting are twin broth
ers. One of the twins may be more
gambler than sportsman: the other
more sportsman than gambler. But
a pocketbook fan isn't quite as pure a
brand as the real amateur, which
means lover. Without the enthusiasm
which you supply, there's nothing do
ing. When a. Persian prince at the
Derby--the great horse race event OF
England-was asked how he liked it,
he said that he always knew that one
horse could run faster than another.
If you go to horse race in that state
of mind, you don't get anything out
OF 1t.
The fan in a popular sport has a
big advantage--he is one Of crowd.
They keep each other warm. Fans
love crowds where all the birds Of the
same feather get together. And the
bigger the stake, whether a pennant
or a purse, the bigger the excitement
and the crowd. The champion is the
fans hero. There is a streak of hero
worship In all Of us. Fans spend huge
piles OF money and often have moth
ing to show for 1t, but the thrill, but
it's worth 1t. We're not human ma.
chimes, or, II we are, the only thing
that can wind us up is enthusiasm.
It's a fine thing TO have a hobby and
keep tip the habit Of Joy thrills, keep
the emotions, like the muscles. in good
working order. A fan goes to his
game to be wound ~. Some OF that
zest stays with him when he gets back
to his job.

Why You Are a Fan.

Fan" is reporters sIang--short for
fanatic. So the dictionary says, and
calls a fanatic Excessively enthusias-
tic"--all popped up on one idea that he
works overtime. In the old days there
were dangerous fanatics, usually about
religion or politics. When they could.
they treated those who thought diff
ferently pretty rough. A 'fan" is an
innocent fanatic, wild about base ball
or golf or movies or whatever he can
get most kick out of. Why do fans get
that way?
It's because, though we like our jobs,
most of us have to work pretty steadi-
ly and do a lot of chores to pay our
bills and keep things going, and the
daily grind gets dull, oqraWS get stale.
So we. must have something handy to
turn to and get excited about-some-
thing to put the joy into life, some
thing to do and to talk about for the
fun of 1t. 1t may be, a sport, or a
hobby. If it isn't joy-ride, it's q
fear-thrill. Amusement parks" build
elaborate Ioop-the-loops where you can
frighten yourself safely, but it doesn't
last long. A real fan wants something
with more staying power. t
The collector is quiet sort Of fan
and gets his kick out of rare stamp
or coin or antique. To the rest Of us
who are fans on something else his
collection seems mere junk. The sport
fan is the genuine article. He is a
fan about something live and lively
Life is a chase. When an Office hound

Our small son has made all the

Answer--iD You are not too stout,
my dear. Your weight is right for a,
girl of your age and build. 1t is very
short-sighted to want to be thin, espe-
cially while one is growing, because
underweights are more subject to
disease than normal people. You have
a naturally strong constitution, but, If
you continue TO abuse your health by
going without breakfast, keeping late
hours and not controlling your nerv-

should walk four or five miles day

Cnifrnres for TaII Girls.


Dear Miss Leeds-What kind of
bobs are becoming to tall girl with
a long face? What viii make eye
lashes grow long and thick? VIII skat'
ing develop thin limbs? MILDRED:
Answer-Usually a tall girl looks
best with long hair, because the pres
ent styles in bobs make her head seem
too small in proportion to her body.
If your neck is long and thin, wear
your hair In low coil on the nape.
If your hair is already bobbed, how
ever, dress it to look as much as pos
sible like a long-hair coiffure. A low
side part that brings the hair over the
forehead will help make your face
seem shorter. Apply vaseline to the
lashes every day to encourage their
growth. Build up your general health
and see that your eyes are not suffer
ing from strain. Skating is better as
a reducing exercise for the legs than
as the opposite. OF course, it builds
firm muscle, but, if you are already
too thin, it is likely to burn up too
much of your energy. Eat more nour-
ishing food and take moderate, regu.
lar exercise such as walking.

FesO Of Worlds Great
Cut Hours of Sleep

1t Is often said Of great men that
they needed and took but few hours
Of sleep. It is true that in their de-
sire to accomplish as. much work as
possible they have spent no more
hours in bed than was necessary, but
those who found that less than six or
eight hours would suffice them were
very few. Alexander Won Humboldt,
Linnaeus, Cuvier, Dumas, Bismarck
and the composer, Dyorak, are all the
four-hour sleepers I have come upon
in long list of distinguished men.
Napoleon. who Is sometimes mentioned
In this class, took from six to eight
hours and did not hesitate to nap in
the daytime and even in the midst of
conversation. He could 60 for long
periods without sleep, but he always
condemned himself to correspondingly
long periods of rest afterward, Sleep
ing on one occasion for 35 hours at a
stretch.
Goethe was a very sound sleeper,
done more original work than any
man Of his century, slept a great deal.
Brahms could sleep at will and under
any conditions, and Dumas, latter
writing for some hours at a stretch,
would suddenly fling himself on his
bed, and in a few seconds be sound
asleep; Is or 20 minutes later he
would wake up again with equal alb
ruptness and return to wOrk-a giant
