ONCE OVERS

COME married men seem to get
- amusement out of making
derogatory statements about other
married men before their wives.
While there may not be any
thing really bad. yet it is limited.
and while done perhaps in a spirit
of fun, the practice is likely to
cause trouble. r.
This is perfectly true, If another
woman's name is brought into 1t.
Some wives are not bothered
apparently by such remarks.
Having control over their real
feelings they make q joke Of it
and wait for an opportunity to
have a few words with friend
husband alone, later.
Often serious domestic trouble
is started in just this way. r
A wife is happy as long as she
has confidence in her husband,
but when she begins to doubt
him, to feel that he may be UNI
true to her. unhappiness is the
result and trouble starts.
1t does not require much to
arouse suspicion.

1t Is Not a Crime to Stop LOVING
By Elsie Robinson

whose slave has escaped-cheat'
ed, wronged.
But as a matter of fact, we
have been neither cheated nor
wronged. We have. never owned
that other life. We have no last
ing title to its love. IL it chooses
to go its way it has that right.
If it chooses to bestow itself upon
another, it has that right. And
we should allow it to go with
dignity and respect, however bits
ter our loss.
Marriage would be a very differ
emit thing If we would accept this
fact. If. instead of feeling that
the marriage ceremony gave us q
deed to each other, we realized
that love must be won anew each
day and retained by beautiful and
intelligent service, marriage would
continue to be a romantic adven'
ture. But we win not accept this
viewpoint. We insist that love Is
a tangible possession and that any
one who takes it from US Is
thief in the night.
And the law actually backs us
up in this contention by permit
ting suits for alienation of affee-
ton. Nothing could be more
absurd. II an affection wishes to
be alienated it has perfect right
to be so. The results may be de-
plorable. but the right persists.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-I

nURING the tremendous ad-
~ vance made by psychology
in the last decade or two, business
has not been quite as alert as 1t
might have been. That is, bust
ness has been rather slow in
adopting the principles of psy-
choIoyy to its own needs and for
its own good.
The so-called labor turnover,
for example, is an enormous eco
nomic waste. And besides, Tor
an individual merely to think ne
is fitted for this or that. only 70
find after repeated trial, that ne
is unfit, works severe and really
unnecessary hardship upon him
self and his family.
Except in cases where the efH-
cheney of an employee is already
known. the majority Of those who
apply for positions are taken on
because they claim they can DO
the work and not because their
ability has already been proved
either to themselves or to anyone
else.
often, therefore, to maintain =
working force of a certain size
from three, to five times as many
persons pass annually through the
organizati0 as minimum require
ments for the skilful performance
of the work would require.
But business as well as business
men and women are beginning to
wake up, as 1t were.
Efficiency tests are coming into
use more and more.
When a worker applies for
job he is given a list OF questions
to answer, or he Is required 10
pass some other special PSYCHIC.
logical procedure, the scoring ann
result OF which will reveal to the
employer az well as to the en-
ploye whether or not he is the
individual wanted.
For typewriting there are the
psychological tests to measure an
applicants speed, accuracy, con.
centration and motor ability
memory, and so on.
Average standards are COM
piled and, If the applicant for a
position fall below the standard
required, he is not considered
eligible for the position.
1t is really a fact that Few
people know their own aptitudes
and ability.
If a person would like to be a
musician or linotype operator. as
the case may be, 1t does not follow
that he is fitted for such work
simply because he has taste for
it.
And often a young man or
woman enters a certain kind of
business for no better reason. Or.
perhaps. he starts certain kind
of work merely because friend IS
willing to take him on and give
him an opportunity.
Precious years are wasted this
way. Often, too, many misgivings
and heartaches are endured.
And it is not unusual for a
worker to stick to job which he
disIikes and is not doing well at
because he does not know what
other job he can do better.
Tests of vocational fitness, by
which people can tell fairly well
in advance what sort Of work they
are best fitted for what sort Of
work in general dOvetails best
with their temperament and
ability. will some day be the rule.
They are being used air. Ady and

The books Of Malachi and Nehe-
miah should be read together, for
they form respectively the last
pages of Old Testament prophecy
and history. born Of the same So
cial and religious corruptionS and
at almost the same time.
Malachi ministered about four
hundred years before Christ, and
but a few years after the close Of
Nehemiah's ministry.
Both dealt with the priests de-
Element OF their office. the peo-
pies defilement of the home
through mixed marriages with lido
laters. and the general contempt
for and neglect Of the offerings
and services OF Gods house.
The key which unlocks the mes
sage Of Malachi is the word where
in" which is found in the book
seven times in as many impudent
and arrogant replies Of the peole
In which they deny the prophets
charges against them: Wherein
hast thou loved us?" IL: Wherein
have We despised thy name?" 1:6;
wherein have we polluted thee?"
Wherein have we wearied him?"
Alt; Wherein shall we return?"
81; Wherein have we robbed
thee?" 80; and Gin the Revised
Version } CWherein have we spoken
against thee?" 3:l3.
Thus the people entered a gen.
eral denial to all the prophets
charges OF religious. moral and So
cial corruption. In their self-righr-
eousneSs they were utterly uncon-
scious Of any fault in the matters
for which he rebuked them.
Surely, this was the darkness OF
spiritual night. but it was that
darkest hour which just precedes
the dawn.
The first faint streaks Of that
dawn are indicated in Malachi's
prophecy Of Christ's near approach,
preceded by his forerunner. John
the Baptist: Behold I will send
my messenger, and he shall pre-
pare the way before mel and the
Lord whom We seek shall sudden
ly come to his temple. even the
messenger Of the covenant. whom
We delight in; behold he shall come
saith the Lord OF hosts"
Then from his mountain top of
prophetic vision Malachi spies the
full glory Of the approaching sum
rise. and with a joyous shout an
nounces 1t to the people lying in
darkness; Unto you that fear my
name shall the Sun of righteous
ness arise with healing IN his
wings"
