At boarding school Je1fcry's atti- tude toward his younger brother was exemplary. His excellent adjust ment was all the more remarkable in view of his extreme unpopularity with the other boys. With them he had a most unsayory reputation for meanness and for bullying the younger children. Toward the end of the term his head master decided that Jeff needed help. f What makes you plague the younger boys so?' the head master began in a tone which invited frank ness
 "Oh, I don't know. They are an awful pest"
 You are very decent to your own brother, you don't treat him as if he were a pest. and he is not so differ ent from the others"
 'I know, but those kids get on my nerves"
 DO you know why? Did you ever think what happened to you when Edgar was born?'
 Why I suppose l wasn't the whole show any more.'
 And you were jealous of him ?''
 "Yes, but like him right now"

Medical Association and of lily
 geia, the Health Magazine. Last year debates were held all over the United States by several i eminent debaters on the question as | to whether or not man Is q machine The question Is answered as well as | 1t can be answered with our modern 1 knowledge of science by Professor i c. Judson Herrick in his new book called "Man-The Thinking Ma chine"
 | Of course, human being is not machine like a loom or rotary press. If a belt or q cog wheel breaks on any power apparatus, the machine is likely to stop until | somebody repairs the damage The l human being is the most complex machine that can possibly be imag- ined. It has tremendous automatic powers of regulation and repair. The human machine is a part of the great systems of life. There is order and system in nature which may be called evolution or which may be credited to some higher power. There is no scientific sup port for the fatalistic conception of life nor for the belief that every thing that is or has been in life was predetermined.
 Many things develop as re- suit of natural agencies. Professor Herrick wisely points out that a mechanstic conception of life de- mands first of all a recognition of the meaning of mechanism. The chief function of any mechanism is to control the agents which are part of its business.
 The human being has the great est capacity for self-regulation of any mechanism on earth. It can even control the disappearance or the appearance of its followers by scientific genetics.
 At the same time the human be- ing must respond inevitably to na- tural processes in it's environment. This the human does with his mind, whereas lower species and material objects respond only aA the physical changes influence them. Mental acts, Professor Her rick points out, are natural because we are natural bodies and they are therefore the real determiners of conduct and character. They are part of the biologic machinery regu- lating and controlling life.
 self-control by voluntary effort is an activity Of the human body. Self-control can be strengthened and cultivated by training, just as muscular training in riding a bicycle can be cultivated. Man is a machine but distinctly and ap- parently the only thinking machine

New York, Oct. S-Tweed, jersey and fur form the triumvirate of | chic for autumn sportswear. Foot ball games will find them practic- ally ubiquitous.
 There are many tWeeds and jer- seys that complement each other, such as the Rodier fabrics. Col ors. patterns. and general tone Of the two may contrast jauntily and happily. Sometimes the jersey uses lighter tones of the tweed 2 | colors, introducing startling flecks of this or that color to tighten the whole effect
 Furs are lavish in their decora- tiveness this autumn. Long haired furs are exceptionally good for sports wear, with leopard, raccoon. and other spotted and figured furs in great demand. Oscelot is new and in high favor, a fur much like leop- ard but with less yellow.
 Skirts Are Longer Skirts in these sports things are decidedly longer, whether they are the lower portion of frocks or suits. Coats, on the other hand, may be anything from a flartnH little short length to very long length, which 's more than vel come on a coat one wears to foot ball games or to winter sports affairs.
 Very new are the knitted wool frocks with short fur jacket lined with the frock's fabric. Some tweed and jersey suits have an additional matching topcoat which makes them ideal for country wear when icy winds blow.
 Should Milady want to join a group of golfers, she may shed ! her topcoat and even her suit coat and she Is attired in perfect taste in a sports outfit of skirt and sweater blouse. Motoring, watch ing the polo game or attending E the races, the topcoat will be wei come.
 All of these costumes have de- cidedly feminine lines, albeit they are tweeds which once was mans exclusive fabric. A flare to the sleeves. nipped-in waistllne, slanting raglan shoulders with neat litte ck-yokes or a spiral fur dec oration on cuffs and collar all indi- cate the new feminine note of win ter fashions.
 An effective sports coat of osce- lot has a high. turn down collar, straight sleeves. straight fronts and flaring back. This coat is lin Ad with beige tweed. like the circular skirt and huge scarf with circular ends of the sports frock worn with 1t. A tuck-in blouse of flat crepe completes the outfit which is topped by an Agnes beret in two tones of beige and brown tweed.
 Here's a Swnnky Jacket
 Kid caracul fashions the swanky little flaring jacket of black white outfit. The caracul coat has a new scarf collar that ties under the chin like quaint old fash toned jabot and two big roomy lock- cts are fashioned to really warm the hands when they need it. This jack ct tops very smart frock in a black and white tweed with match ing pattern in jersey top to the frock. A little narrow belt accents the waistline. The black velvet beret Is stitched all around and has a lit
