Everyday Law Cases
ny THE COUNSELLOR.

Stewart jackson hired an automobile
to drive to nearby city. His agree
ment with the owner Of the car was
that he was to drive II over prescribed
route
On his way jackson changed his
mind about using the road the owner
had designated. Instead he proceeded
on a different path altogether. While
on this path Jackson figured in coili-
sion with another machine. However,
he was entirely hlameless in the acci-
dent.
The owner of Jackson's car. unable to
collect for the damage from the one
actually responsible for the collision
because OF his financial irresponsibility
demanded that Jackson, as he had not
travelled on the road originally agreed
upon. pay the damages. The latter re-
fused, asserting that the test OF his
responsibility was his negligence and
not his use OF the unauthorized road.
Jackson was sued and verdict was
reached against him In accordance with
the following general rule:
"One who hires a chattel Is liable N

A Sermon for Today
IF We Were More Watchful.
ny REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text: Watch and pray, that We enter
not into temptation. Mark, xiv.3s.
Man is never watchfuf enough
against the dangers that threaten him
every hour" wrote Horace, the Latin
poet.
This Is particularly true with ref
erence TO moral and spiritual dangers.
Many a man who Is alert enough in
guarding himself against the dangers
that menace his health and physical
safety never gives a thought 10 the
dangers that threaten his moral and
spiritual well-being.
Everybody should; of couse, be on
watch to safeguard himself against in
jury and disease. But, important as II
Is to be watchful against the dangers
that imperil our bodies, It Is more I'M
portant to be watclful against those
that imperil our souls. for these are
more manifold and more subtle. And
besides are not our souls OF greater
value than our bodies? Would Il not be
better for us Ito enter into life halt or
manned. rather than having two hands
or two feet, to be cast into everlasting
fire.?
Napoleon said: When I plan bat
tie magnify to myself all the dangers
and all the evils that are possible TN
der the circumstances. There would
be fewer moral and spiritual defeats II
we would all make 1t a practice to
follow this same rule In the battle
against sin and temptation.
One dark night traveller was cross
ing the Irish Sea. As the steamer drove
along over the waves he walked the
deck talking to the seamen and looking
out across the dark water. One of the
men told him Of the great rare taken
to prevent accident. and said; AT the
present moment there are nine men on
the lockout on this vessel" Nine lnetl--
watchingl How different would be The
story of evil in our lives-~if We were
more watchful.

The Minds Extravaganza.

It's a great world when you feel great:
and you show that you feel great by
enlarging upon your good points. You
see the world through the magnifying
glass of your own feelings. In short,
you eXaggerhte. When you are de-
pressed and things have gone wrong,
you feel small" You see the world
through the other end of the opera
glass of your mind and mood.
The psychology of exaggeration Is IN
teresting. All children, when they get
enthusiastic, exaggerate. Everything
gets bigger and better than 1t Is. Fairy
tales that appeal to children pile up
the riches of golden palaces and caves
studded with jewels. The giants are
huge and the woods vast and the ad-
ventures grand. 1t all adds to the
thrill
But it's mainly in deeds that exag-
geration enters I'm the adult mind
When the fisherman adds few pounds
to the size of the fish he has caught,
he feels bigger for having caught such
a big FISH. And when children or their
elders add to the truth. they usually
tell big whopper to make good
job of It. Some liars are glorious liars,
because they feel the exaltation of 1t.

Of his life ss poor man in the home

there June "a, 1928, and was buried be-

After L.Enfant left Washington he
was engaged by Robert Morris 70 erect
residence IN Philadelphia, but the
house was never finished. due partly TO
the elaborateness Of the plans and
partly 10 the financial failure Of Mr.
Morris. This was the largest individual

Mental Deficiency.


Feeble -mindedness (idiocy, imbecility,
moronity) is more or less interchange
able or alternative with epilepsy,
hysteria, alcoholism, drug habit and in
sanity, so far as heredity may be con-
cerned.
The saying Is that there's no fool like
an old fool, but like many old sayings
this one is not q very accurate rule.
The young fool has 1t over the old one,
when 1t comes to question Of marriage.
The young fool likes to think love Is
blind and all that sort Of romantic
stuff. A moron, as every intelligent
reader knows, Is an adult with child S
fundamental capacity of a normal
child from 8 to IL years of age. OF the
10000, 900 to perhaps 100000 morons
In America the great majority are good,
useful citizens. loyal friends, faithful
servants, industrious workers, honest
parents. brave soldiers, perhaps great
musicians or artists. OF course some
morons believe all they read in the
papers about "morons." for probably a
million or SO just make the 8-year
mentality grade and no more.
Amateur and professional sociologists
have analyzed and explained the phe-
nomenon called the happer so that no
one can understand My conception of
the fiapper is that she grades around 10
years of age mentally-that is, the av-
erage. Anyway We all know that many
female morons in their teens are beau
tiful-but dumb. as the vernacular has
it-beautiful enough to attract the pred
atory male of the species, who has no
commission for her at all only passion
Sometimes it happens that she attracts
the romantic young man who takes the
poetic idea of love rather seriously and
marries the beautiful moron in haste

leisure or at all Dumb Dora may turn

ton are certain types of insane people.
Their minds seem to break out In one
great splurge of grandeur before they
go to pieces. A patient 56 years old
says that he Is 10. that his wife gave
birth to four twins, that he has 565
relations, of whom rs are brothers and
375 sisters, that he had 800 grand
fathers and 700 grandmothers, promises
his attendants $150,000. 900. 900 each, be-
lieves that he has millions In stocks,
owns vast estates and ranbles along
in an exalted world where everything
is bigger and better-and all because
he feels SO exalted He has lost all re-
straint and meaning in his exaggeration.
Patients who think they are kings, or
emperors. or redeemers, or generals, or
millionaires, make this up to account for
the greatness of their feelings.
Every one wants to think as we'll Of
himself as he can--even If he resorts to
exaggeration for the purpose. But he
keeps within the bounds of what he
hopes will be believed. Children are
more reckless because they half believe
that they tell. Every conceited per-

that anybody believes 1t. The ordinary

On the whole 1t is best to keep sober

Your Baby and Mine
Children and Company.
by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED


Every one knows that 1t is "only
when company is here" that children
act like little demons, causing the
mother embarrassment and ending what
should be happy day with punish
ments and tears.
Children aren't really more vicious
when company is about, but there are
many reasons why they seem to be.
chief of which are the sharp eyes OF
mother focused on all their faults.
Mother doesn't notice when Jimmy
prunts his replies to her until Mrs.
Adams Is calling; then she feels COM
pelled to say: rs that the way TO
answer motherP" not only filling Jimmy
with embarrassment, but actually IN
fiuencing him to be even more rude.
Adults think they have all the rights
to be nervous when company Is ex-
pected. but that children should be
little models OF department. What
child can be impervious to the sup
pressed excitement; the secret goodies
stored in icebox and pantry; the i;cold-
ing he gets for every careless finger
mark on the furniture's terrible shint-
ness? If in his excitement he doesn't
uaE L1lG kutat tpHGl III tiAt bahAAONhAts "a
stick his finger in the ice-box cake, or
come In with muddy feet. 1t would be
nothing short of miracle.
And mother Is so different when COM
pany is about. She has a different
voice which leads young daughter TO
snuggle up to her. and leads mother to
say In annoyance: do run and play,
show Mary Ann your new doll clothes
Good gracious can't you find anything
better 10 do, you two. than sit with us?"
II is all very confusing to child.
Besides, two strange children can't be
expected to get acquainted Immediately
and If there are many children, even
though acquainted. the new and stilted
surroundings OF party are enough to
set them heading for mischief as in
evitably as the compass points North.
We believe that children's parties
should be supervised by elders who will
keep things going smoothly, and that
grown-up parties with children are n
complete loss TO adults. When children
are along one must take into considera-
ton that the surroundings are bound
TO be exciting and excitement leads to
almost anything II one must drag
children into such artificial situations
one must pay the penalty and give up
ones time to entertaining the children.
Otherwise the poor child is going to be
blamed and punished for reacting ex-
actly as he could be expected TO react.
