SECRETS OF

BY DR.. G. a. Z. Reed

Health Is complete harmony be-
tween yourself and the resistless
natural forces that control your

Whether at any period in his

there can be little doubt that
the occurrence of ill-health mas

OF the chief motives behind mans
desire and search for knowledge
concerning his own structure and
function. In other words, the de-
sire to combat disease by both

various organs. IT may be ques-
toned whether the stimulus of

have provided the necessary in.
centive. In this way it has come
about that the problem of under
standing the mechanism under
lying mental processes is being
approached by many avenues.
Behavior. as an indication Of
mental activity, heretofore has
been regarded as special pro-
vince of the psychologist. Now,
however, the whole problem is
one for the Psychologist. Evil
ence is accommodating to show
that in the future. with the
passing of the psychologist, the
study OF mental phenomena must
depend more and more on the co.
operation of other workers in diff
ferent branches of science. The
study of diseased conditions. has
many facts to contribute as its
share of this cooperative under
taking. Anatomy. and physiology
have also something to say. But
the chief object of the scientific
study OF disease. both from its
bedside and laboratory aspects. is
to correlate disorder of function
with that of structure. This is
the work of the pathologist who
is trying to determine how far
disease of the mind can be cor
related with disorders of the
structure of the brain. On that
our conception OF the mind and
it's workings must to a large ex-
tent ultimately depend.
Ancient philosophers regarded
the soul. or mind, as an inma-
tarial, supernatural, indefinable
form of energy lowering about
the head, or the liver, or the
heart, as the case might, be. Now
adays we tend to regard it as
function OF the brain, and as
intimately related to the struc-
ture Of that organ as the circula-
ton Is to that Of the heart, or
digestion to the stomach.
A still more advanced view is
that mind is the supreme func-
ton of the general body as mani
tested chiefly through the brain
system.
A close parallel is found pe-
tween the development of the
brain and the degree of develop
ment OF intelligence and mental
activity. The newborn infant
possesses a brain, not only SINH
lar to but more primitive in
structure than that of the adult.
Large numbers OF the nervous
elements of which it is composed
seem to be immature and, there
fore, incapable OF taking their
part in those activities for which

Where is Bishop William Mont
gomery Brown. deposed for heresy
by the Protestant Episcola Church
three years ago?
Several delegates to the conven-
ton today reported they had seen
the aged bishop. now occupying
that office in the Old Catholic
Church, in various places in Wash
ington. But nobody seems to know
where the prelate is staying.
The bishops friends in the church
convention are mystified at his fail
ure to announce his presence in
the Capital and are inclined to
think that he is planning strategic
move. He has no connection with
the church or the convention. but
usually makes an appearance at
church gatherings to meet his old
friends.
On Bishop Browns last appear
ance in Washington, after his ex-
pulsion by the house of bishops at
the New Orleans convention in
1925, he maintained a large suite
at a downtown hotel and had with
him several attaches and large
quantities of literature on his re-
ligious views. It is said he fol-
lowed the same practice in many
other cities throughout the country.

7 TRANSACTIONS
DESCRIBED BY
FORBES
BY B. G. FORBES

What happens when an order
is given to buy stock?
Never before were so many
orders being given. Since Janu.
airy / sales on the New York
Stock Exchange have reached the
unprecedented total of $64,000,-
600, 900, figuring on 500 per share.
This total practically SO cent
higher than a year ago and far
ahead of the turnover for the
whole of last year.
In the New York Curb Mar
ket, the second largest in Amer.
lea, transactions represent a ($100)
par value of almost SIS, 1000, 000,-
900, more than 100 per cent
over last year.
Bond Sales Decrease
Incidentally, bond sales on the
stock exchange show a substan-
, tial decrease. Average bond quo
tations, too, are lower than IL
months ago, whereas stocks are
up more than $40 a share.
How an order to buy stock is
executed is lucidly explained in a
new booklet issued by the New
York Curb Market.
John Jones, an investor, while
in the Philadelphia branch of the
New York Curb Market firm of
John Smith and Company, fills
out an order form. instructing the
firm to buy 100 shares Of Stan
dard Oil of Indiana ''at the mar
ket." This is recorded by a clerk
and teIegrap hed to the main Of
flee in New York, which trans.
mits it at once to the exchange
floor over a private telephone.
The floor telephones are served by
clerks employed by members.
The floor telephone clerk writes
the order on an order slip and
then presses button in his booth
which operates a number on
large annunciator board, four of
which are conspicuously situated
on the walls of the exchange
building. A number has been as
signed to the floor member of
John Smith and Company. and the
flash signals him to his booth.
There are 16 posts on the floor
with different stock assigned to
them. The broker knows instant.
ly the post where Standard Oil
of Indiana is located. At this
post he hears Indiana" being of
fered at TON and another broker
bidding 70h for it. He at once
says to the broker offering the
stock at 70h, take it" and the
deal Is contaminated.
No contract is exchanged. All
trades are made in this apparently
informal way. yet no broker has
ever tried to get out Of such a
transaction.
The broker sends to his tele-
phone clerk memorandum that
he has bought 100 Standard Oil of
Indiana at 70A from William
Brown another brokerl. The clerk
Immediately telephones the report
to the office, which telegraphs it
to the Philadelphia branch office.
All this takes remarkably little
time. Orders given a thousand
miles away sometimes have been
executed within a minute.
