grudgc. seated as a passenger
Smith could not control his anger and
he approached Carol looking for an
argument. The latter, however, ignored
Smiths verbal vituperation Aroused
further at Carols silence. Smith launch
ed An attack with the result that Carol
was badly beaten in the fight that ensued.
Carol complained TO the railroad
company and asked that he be compen-
stated for the injuries Smith had infiict~

liability. stating that Smith was not act .

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


must be some fire The great popular
ity Of the mother law Joke proves
how unpopular the mother-in- law
really Is. We usually poke fun at those
whom we cannot reach In any other
way
BY virtue of her age and position the
mother lin law is rather dignified per-
son, And a Joke at the expense of dig
nifty Is always humorous. especially II
the dignity and power that 90 with It
are used against us.
II is well known fact that the
mother-in-law Is very hard to please.
She is naturally preiudiced in favor Of
her own children and no one is good
enough for her James or Jane. Moth
ers are especially partial to their sons.
This makes 1t hard for the daughter
in-law. No matter what the younger
woman does. IL Is not old -fashioned
enough to suit the woman of another
generation. tensenesS OF feeling, II
not open conflict Is inevitable
The Joke Is the safest means OF salts
fying the desire TO get even. the most
harmless outlet for the pent-up feel
ing Of repaftee.
The mother-in-law Joke is popular
for the same reason that a Joke at the
expense Of the teacher is popular with
school children Both have a dignity
and authority that rankie.

Fingernail Biters.

There has been and still is much
criticism of the girl who powders her
face In public but the objections To
this practice are trivial in comparison
with those which may be urged against
another common fault~-nail~ biting
Applying makeup so that all may see
is poor taste, but II may be done In
a graceful way There is no such miti-
eating feature Of the nail-biting sabit
The sight OF a girl gnawtn9 at her
fingernails and tearing of shreds OF
cuticle Is revolving. II suggests an
especially horrid form Of cannibalism
Aside from the diSagreeable impress
sion this habit gives the onlooker, IT
ruins the appearance of the finger
tips and nails The nail-biter's hands
are always ugly. 10 matter ho% white
or shapelv they may be-
The person who INDUCES this un-
beautiful habit seems 10 have pc
culiar type OF psychology. She knows
that naii-biting is undesirable in every
way but thinks 1t can be cured by
some external application, l receive
many letters from readers asking, How
can l stop biting my nails" The
answer Is. Of course, stop biting
them" Self-control Is the only solu-
ton for this problem and no one can
practice that virtue for another.
The habit of biting the nails usually
arises in the first place from careless
manicure methods that leave the
c,lticle ragged and the nails an UNI
comfortable length Hard corners de-
velop at the sides OF the nails, which
become rough. and the temptation 10
bite them off is urgent. Biting. Of
course. makes the nails more uncom-
Portable and unsightly and this leads
to still more biting and gnawing.
Every naii-biter should make point
of having thorough manicure once a
week. This may be done at home. but
there is psychological value in having
professional treatment One Is losth

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
RY JOSEPH IASTR0W.

Civilization follows the flag of CHI
mate. All past civilizations reached
their highest periods under the most
favorable climatic conditions, such as
obtains in a considerable portion OF
these great United States today. Old
glory and new glory display the same
fies Of favorable climate.
Climate is extended weather The
climate favorable to achievement may
be described as one of cool but not
extremely cold Winters, and Summers
which. though warm and even hot for
short period, are varied by winds
and storms producing variability Of
temperature. Man seems 10 be by ma
ture lazy enough to need the stimula-
ton Of climate To keep him going; he
gets kick out Of climate.
The rest OF the story is far from
simple. II is likely that the most
favorable temperature today is lower
than in former ages. because we know
how IN keep warm in Winter and are
better housed. Also, is II true that
the seats of ancient civilizations suc;~
as Egypt and Assyria as Judged by
ti1sir present climate do not fall into
this most favored nation" condition,
Mr. Huntington found evidence that
when these countries supported great
civilizations The climate was more
favorable than il is now.
Climate alone is not directly respon-
sible. 1t may act by way of disease,
insect pests. crops and the influence
Of bad living conditions on human
stock A prolonged drought. for ex-
ample. NAV force people to migrate;
famine produces misery and lawless-
ness Even -oday crops influence cleo
tions. end weather influences crops.
The two great forces of nature are ever
operative: heredity favoring the best
human stocks. and environment sup
plying the most favorable conditions
for fitness, bodily and mental.
The one conclusion that stands out
notably is that MAJ: cannot stand a
large dose of humid heat and do good
work The typical American Sum
mer. as compared with North Euro
pean Summer. is unfavorable: We pay
the cost unless we yield to it by re-
taxation or by seeking favored spots.
The Summer business is one of the
biggest industries, IL has its COM
pensatinns: city and country meet;
workers take holidays. the strenuous
life lets up. AmericanI have prob
lem 70 face IN their hot Summer, Ice
water is the most characteristic Ameri-
csn beverage and is a Summer habit.
II remains generally true shat hot
weather is the one condition that
makes against efficiency. Extremes
fncsps citate. There can be no civil
zation in the Arctic for many obvious
reasons but the tropics also favor life
on an unenterpriSing level. Great en-
terprises require great energies and
initiative which flourish best in tenn
perate zones.

When Man Works Best.

With the experience OF heat pros
ration fresh in mind. though the worst
NJ the Summer is over it is timely to
consider the cost Of hot weather in
terms Of mental fitness Our physioi-
ogv runs deeper than our psychology:
It's more vital 70 live than 10 think:

famantaliv than We behave like hu-
man beings. Mental energy is but =

orgv, and ooeys the same conditions.

Marries for a Job.

Women look with contempt for the
most part on the man who marries a
girl 10 secu a Job with the girls faith
err. They also look with a sort of con-
tempt on the man who marries To make
his position secure with the parent of
his wife.
just why this Is is not difficult to
ascertain. A woman admires and re-
spects the man who makes his own
way. She usually finds 1t hard to re-
spect man who has been too weak
In make his own way. This feeling or
instinct probably dates back to print
tive times
The man that marries for Job may
make an amiable. equahle mate, His
acceptance of the favor of employ
ment obligates him TO both his wife
and her father, his employer All
through his life he Is both employee
and retainer. His wife can seldom Tor
get that fact, nor can she allow him
to forget It,.
On the face OF 1t. 1t seems fair
enough that the husband shall work

and suitable for the position Usually
this is not the case II Is commonly a
