BLERI0T FLIES CHANNEL
AS HE DID 20 YEARS AGO
French Pioneer Lands Close to
Monument in England, and Will
Be Feted Tonight.

By the Associated Press.
DOVER, England, July 27-Louis
Bleriot, French aeronautical pioneer,
flew the English Channel today.
Twenty years ago the same was
flashed around the world and recorded
the first flight ever made between
France and England
Today Bleriot landed close to the
monument which commentaries his
historic crossing and then hurried on
to London where he will be feted to-
night on the twentieth anniversary of
his first air trip across the Channel.
Old timers recalled the first flight
and how watchers on the down saw
a dot in the sky which shaped itself
into a tiny airplane and then landed
on spot so small and steep that few
aviators would chance it today.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE Do
BY MEHREN X. THOMSON.

From shirt sleeve to shirt sleeve is
four generations"
From genius to average mentality
Is only one generation.
Nature seems to believe in mass pro-
duction and a general level of average
mentality as well as an average In all
other physical and mental traits. The
immediate offspring of any unusual in
dividual, whether of plant or animal,
have tendency TO revert to the gen.
eral average. Thus very tall men are
likely to have tall children, but not
taller than themselves. Similarly, very
short men are likely to nave short chill
dren but not as short as themselves.
In this way nature gradually wins back
the unusual type Of the original. Other
wise, the tall would breed taller and
taller children and the short would
breed shorter and shorter children until
the difference would be so great that
you could scarcely recognize the two
groups as belonging to the same species.
The same is true Of mental traits.
An unusually brainy man is quite likely
to have children of superior mentality,
but not equal to himself and more near
ly approaching the normal average
level Of intelligence. BY the same token
one Of average or even less than average
mentality, If not decidedly abnormal
or diseased, Is likely to have child Of
more than average ability.
In this way nature keeps the race
true to form. It Is remarkable that

the real friend and companion Of an
adult There may be and often is

is not that of youthful companionship.
Only a child can be companion and

Just child with him" 1t is not so.
When the Great Teacher commanded
us to be as little children. he did not
mean it in the terms of play. He meant
in terms of the spirit. We are to be
simple and undefiled as children in
spirit. not in brain and body and action.
Else why grow up at all? No. no. We
are to be towers of strength to our
children, but not children ourselves.
Train the child to seek and find
companionship among other children.
His companionship with other children
is a very important phase of his edu-
cation. From another child he learns
to live in harmony with his fellows.
We cannot teach him fair play, gen.
erous treatment of his friends, imper-
Sonal rivalry, because there can be no
question about these matters between
us and our children. He must live with
his peers, not his elders, If he is to be a
we'll rounded personality.
We have to depend upon the chill
dren's playmates to make clear good
bit of our teaching. We may preach
unselfishness, fair play. good manners
and the rest. but until they function
among the children no child ever truly
senses them.
One child can teach another better

the teacher had tried and tried again
to teach her how to tie knot In the
horse reins he was making. In a few
minutes the mystery was solved. Michael
had succeeded where the teacher
had failed. Mind must speak to mind
before any teaching functions. and
often it is necessary for one child mind
to speak to another child mind in order
that an important matter may be set
right.
Then rather encourage your children
to make friends with the other children.
Teach them to give and take, to share
generously and to receive graciously.
Don't make the mistake of keeping your
children to yourself and themselves, but
let them grow with their mates.

brothers.

Everyday Psychology
Psychological Flights.
By DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

Medical men use the word fugue In
referring to hysterical flights from
home" For example, man may be-
come so bored with his home condi-
lions and his immediate social sur
roundings, that he leaves the commun-
ity, takes up a different occupation,
changes his name and every habit that
might possibly identify him as the fell
low who has just made the flight.
The man may become so abnormally
preoccupied with the assumed person.
atty that for months at time he has
totally forgotten his real name, his
previous occupation, his friends, etc.
This is, of course, case of abnor-
mality.
But flights from home" are by no
means necessary signs of abnormality.
If the meaning of the term fugue is
stretched little, it may be used to
describe behavior which any one could
call normal and sensible.
Many people, rather than be dis
turbed by callers or by various sorts of
collectors who all too frequently knock
at their doors, instruct the maid to say
that they are mot at home" Some
have their telephones disconnected at
opportune times. or, if 1t becomes nee
essary to prolong the flight" resort to
the very useful fugue of installing a
silent phone
Suppose the Jones, for whom you
don care much. pay formal after
noon call. Now instead of actually re-
turning this formal call, you wait until
you know they are out, and then call
and leave your cards, which amounts
to return of the call. The medical
man may not call your behavior in this
case fugue. But isn't it flight
from a boresome situation? Isn't it a
case of avoiding those who make you
tired?

came so heavily involved in debt that
he actually became sick of his notes
and could not bear to drive past the
banking district of the city.
Psychological flights are common,
everyday. normal tendencies. 1t mat
tiers little what you call them. Some
times they are provoked by a very
slight stimulus and become exaggerated,
in which cases they are called abnor-
malities. But more often they represent
normal sensible; logical attempts to
make the best of the many ways Of get
ting on in the world.

John Allan rebelled at the proposed
adoption of tiny Edgar Poe. What
would their Richmond friends think?
It seemed to the canny Scotchman and
cautious man Of business that the in
production into his home of the child
of questionable stage people" was a
great risk.
when he finally surrendered he could
not forbear warning childless Frances
Allan.
'If you live to regret this day." he
told his wife, you will have no one but
yourself to blame"
In the years that followed, when Ed
gar Allan Poe's wild adventures stirred
John Allan's wrath, Mrs. Allan may
sometimes have wished that she had
bowed to her husbands wishes But
his warning-"You will have no one but
yourself to blame"-was misplaced.
Frances petted Edgar and spoiled him,
but it was John who. failing to under
stand the boy. thwarted the venture
upon which his wife had so hopefully
embarked.
Once. in a rage, Allan charged the
child with being dependent upon
strangers" This seemed to Edgar to
reproach his poor parents, whom he
could scarcely remember. but whose sad
romance he had POLITICALLY enshrined
He could not forgive John Allan, as he
had heard enough of their story to
think them blameless.

Wearable, Lightweight Hats
BY MARY MARSHALL.

present season linen and shantung silk
have been used extensively.
There is, Of course, temptation and
a tendency every Summer to go hatless
whenever possible. So general was the
bare-headed vogue among many young
women in this country last Summer
and indeed throughout the year among
many college girlS-that one began to
wonder whether the wearing of hats
for any occasion would eventually be-
come optional. But this seasons COL
lection of wearable, lightweight hats
has come to check any such tendency,
and the woman who wants to look her
best on all occasions realizes the i'm
portance of wearing hat when ex-
posed to the bright and uncharitable
glare of the bright Summer sun.
The very fashion for sun-tanned
skin has had something to do with
this Arms. back. neck must be of
an even coat quite as deep as that of
the face. The combination of pale
shoulders with face of lobster hue
is no longer tolerated.
The hat with a brim that shades
forehead and nose not only prevents ex-
cessive sunburn but graciously protects
the eyes and cast generally becoming
halftone over the face.
If you are planning to make any
lingerie for Summer and would like to
know how to make a most attractive

make, please send me a stamped, self
addressed envelope and I will gladly
send you diagram pattern with sketch
of the original model from which the
