UNITY OF

STRESSED
President Urges CoOpera-

SEES NEW Err A
Coolidge Pleads to Have
Golden Rule" Applied
Between Nations.
BY CARL d. GROAT
UNITED Press Staff Correspcndent) }

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 16. - The
American republics must join to-
gcthcr to work out "thcir own des-
tiny in their own way President
Coolidge told the Pan American con
ference here today.
In a speech preaching the Golden
Rule, peace and democracy for the
western world, the President gave
what was generally regarded as n
new vitality to the Monroe Doe
trine. At the same time, he de-
elarcd that the policies he outlined
involved ono antagonism toward
any other section of the world or
any other organization
These passages, largely viewed as
n friendly notice to the League OF
Nations and the world at large that
the Americans will bind themselves
even more closely together, without
outside interference, were linked
with assurances that the Americas
intend TO let justice, equity and re-
spect for each others sovereignty Y
prevail in all their relations.
"The existence of this confer
cnce, held for the consideration Of
measures of purely American con
Germ, involve no antagonism toward
any other section of the world or
any other organization, President
Coolidge said. "It means that the
independent republics of the west
orn hemisphere, animated by the
same ideals, enjoying the common
blessings of freedom and peace, real
ize that there are many matters of
mutual interest and importance
which can best be investigated and
resolved through the medium OF
such friendly contact and negotia-
ton as is necessary for cooperative
Rction.
"We realize that one of the most
important services which we can
render humanity, the one for which
we are peculiarly responsible, is to
maintain the ideals of our Western
World. That is our obligation.
''No one else can discharge it for
Us.
Must Join Together
"'If il is 10 be met, we must meet
il ourselves. We must join togeth-
cr in assuring conditions under
which our republics will have the
freedom and the responsibility of
working out their own destiny in
their own way
The President s speech made no
reference to the reccnt~T. :. order
ing of more marines to Nicaragua.
Consideration, coope / o n,
friendship and CHARITY he desig
mated as the "highest law in in
t,rnational dealings, adding:
elf we are to experience n new
era in our affairs, it will be because
the world recognizes and lives in
accordance with this spirit. rs
most complete expression is the
Golden Rule. -
The President s message to a not
able gathering of Pan American
delegates here carried rs its main

torted egotism. Indeed, it is an.
other sort of egotism.
Self hate will make YOU stuck
on yourself as surely as self love.
Either one narrows your life to
self and prevents you from serv.
ing the larger world.
SO remorse isn't really the
pretty little virtue it's cracked up
to be.
IL you once realize this fact
you can't take SO much comfort
out of sitting down and thinking
what a flop you've been. You'll
suddenly see yourself as selfish
coward walIowing in the. con.
temptation of your own failure.
And you'll say
Snap out Of 1t! Stop being q
worm. Be honest with yourself.
1t isn't grief you're suffering
from, it's laziness. You just
don't want to buck up and face
life and you're excusing yourself
by pulling this remorse act. Cut
it out! It's as much your duty
to believe in yourself as it is to
believe in anyone else. Then do
it! Get up and wipe your chin,
and get on your job! Alta kid"

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
Dr. G. A. L. Reed

VOU have been taught that
your brain determines your
character.
These times we are told that
our brains behave according 10
the activity, efficiency and bal
.ancsp OF our ductless glands.
Which Is boss--the ductless
lands or the brain?
Which of the two determines
our characteristics and therefore
our characters, or personalities?
These are pertinent inquiries
that recently have been discussed
by the distinguished Psychologist,
Robert Hutchinson. He points
out that the questions are funda-
mental because they apply to the
relation between the nervous
system and the working activity
OF all the organs. We are told
that, probably, in health the
glands are the servants OF the
brain and nervous system. II
they take command disease re-
suits. Gross disease in gland
may produce q change In the
known that variations in activity
OF the different glands play a
large part in determining both
anatomical and physiological per-
sonality, that is to say they de-
ternline how you look and what
you do.
That there are great variations
in the working of different
peoples nervous systems nobody
will doubt Some of these varla-
tons are capable OF exact meas
urement. We know that varia-
tons in attention memory and
reaction-time affect character
and intellect more than the gross
physical constitution. There are
also differences in the rhythm Of
the process of movements. for
example, the rate of walking
which are peculiar to each in
dividual.
From the point of view of con.
stitution oNe of the most i'm
portant differences is the ia
tiguability or liability to exhaus-
ton. This depends on the in
herent stability or otherwise of
the little particles-call them
atoms, or molecules or electrons-
Of the nerve cells. A nervous
system which is easily tired pre-
dispoSes to neurasthenia, which
means nervelessness, and to func-
tional disorders though not. per-
haps, to serious disease of the
nerve tissues. Moreover, the
nervous system acts more directly
on the constitution by affecting
the functions of all the other sys-
TENS. People may be roughly di.
vided into two big groups, &C.
cording to which nerve influence
preponderates in the control of
their organs.
There can be no doubt that
ones character Is largely de-
pendent on ones physical consti-
tuition This Is true at least as
far as energy, courage, vivacity,
and good temper go. 1t may be,
says II. G. Wells. that even the
capacity for friendship is a ques-
ton of physique.
What, for instance, Is the ef-
feet OF stature upon mental traits?
is the big man more equable and
large minded, less eXcitable. fussy
and self-assertiVe than the smaller
man? Or was Bacon right, when
he said that Mature did never
put her precious jewels into a
aarret four stories high. and
/, therefore exceeding tall men have
ever empty heads?"
