'NGr. Mellon always runs across the

Mr.. Mellon is an active man. He
scampers upstairs two steps at a time,

not for the fact that Mr.. Mellon will

Your correspondent has it from

that Mr.. Mellon wants to be all ready
to go. There being no Mrs. Mellon, no
one objects. OF course, your cores

the story of Mr.. Melons breakfast hat,
because among his distinctions is not
that of having slipped orange juice
with Mr. Mellon.

just what automobile will bump Mr..

The Word "MorOn"

! The Word Moron"
! The' word moron has been worked
to death. Almost everybody has used
lit in referring to most OF the re-
mainder OF the human race, and. OF
ccurse, in using it, has signified that
he does not consider himself one of
'em.
So many people have used it. that
we cannot help wondering who is left
to constitute the moron class If 90
per cent of the population considers,
the other 80 per. cent moron
The truth is that there are so many
persons declaring themselves out Of
the moron group that it is almost a
distinction to be known as a moron
these days Morons are almost as
scarce as were privates in our recent
war.
A Broadway manager announced not.
long ago that no lnorons would be
admitted to his production because
he was certain it would be over their
heads, and the next day the hospitals
were jammed with people of low in
telligence who were injured in the
crush to get into the tFeater.
AS we understand it, a moron is a
person who is supposed to possess the
intelligence OF a twelve year r-old child.
For insulting purposes, this seems too
tame, Isn't there a word which will
cover a person with tine intelligence
Of a two -year-old baby?
! The whole trouble with the word
moron is that so many persons are
so uncertain whether or not they have
more than twelve year-old intelligence
that in their nervous indecision. and
just to be on the safe side, they have
rushed over and joined the non-moron
crowd and started TO cry moron"
hlatantly at everybody else. Insults
lose vigor when they become universal.
Why can't we go back to the good
old-fashioned word idiot? There isn't
anything equivocal about it. Fewer
people will wonder ii it includes them
