WHY WE ENJOY THE
COMICS

WE do not enjoy the comic strips
in the daily newspapers there is
something wrong with us. We should
consult a doctor at once. Comics
serve a very useful purpose in the
lives of busy people.
We like comics because they are so
deliciously absurd A little shaver no
bigger than a minute is forever max
ing wise cracks. Some poor devil is
In hot water all the time.
The comics reveal to us the absurd.
ity of taking life too seriously. We
recognize in them certain fundamen-
tai truths that apply to our own lives.
These comics are really caricatures.
We see ourselves and our neighbors.
We get big kick out of picturing
some awkward friend of ours In the
predicament of the comic actor. We
enjoy sympathizing with ourselves in
the perpetual hard-luck role. The
very exaggerations bring out these
traits all the more forcibly.
Most of the comics involve a story.
The story part is in itself fascinating.
1t arouses our curiosity. We are anx-
ious to know what happens next in
the love episodes of our mock hero.
the extent of hard luck he may have
or how he is coming out with his ri
diculous business adventure.
The great celebrities of the more
popula4 comics are better known than
many historical characters. If we
should run into any of them on the
street we would recognize them at
once.
The comics furnish real outlet
for what they area lot of nonsense
mixed up with a great deal of homelv
truth, caricature of our mistreated
selves and our ridiculous neighbors, a
little relaxation in the midst of
busy day with its cares and worries.
and all the too sober realities.

"CUT-THROAT"

ITO BE cut-throat one need not nee
= essarily cut threats. Nowadays the
term is used to describe treachery of
any kind, whether or not this is ac-
companied by physical violence. It is
the sense of treachery rather than the
particular medium by which it is car
ried out that we mean to express
when we refer to some one as a "cut
throat" However, it is in it's literal
sense that the term had its origin.
Coined by that great master of
words, Will Shakespeare, the word is
over three hundred years old. Its
earliest recorded use is found in Mac
beth, said to have been written in
1906, in the following context: The
murderer enters who has been com.
missioned by Macbeth to put Banquo
out of the way. Macbeth asks, SIS he
dispatch'd?" to which the murderer
replies: MY lord, his throat is cut.

Ing data on childhood memory. "While
the average age at which the stu.
dents could call upon their memories
for Impressions is 3.57 years for girls
and $50 for boys, some OF the sub.
1ects were able to recall incidents that
oefeli them as early as months,
year and 8 months and years." The
majority of the early memories were
OF unpleasant events. The women
recorded 1925 per cent unpleasant and
35.2 per cent pleasant. The figures
for the men were 532 per cent and
70 per cent, respectively. The remain.
