Everyday Psychology
A Clue to Genius.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Men interested in great men began
the search for geniuses long before
Edison ever thought of handing on the
torch. The literature on this subject
is stable now. even II 1t Is not very
important.
Up to now no psychologist knows
what genius Is But some of them
have discovered what seem to be pretty
good clues.
Is genius, possesses several personality
trends. These lie side by side, like peas
In pod. Usually they look so much
alike-that is. they function so har-
moniously-that 10y casual observer
is likely to see the pod instead Of the
peas. To change the figure. any one of
us. liz estimating the mental abilities
of given individual is likely to con-
slider his personality as an indivisible
unit. In doing SO we overlook the fact
that his personality is collection of
to genius then Is this: A recognition
of the fact that every person carries
many souls in one body. Call these
souls his primary and secondary per-
sonalities. What you ordinarily see is
primary personality. What you or
dinarily don't see Is group of second
airy personalities.
The f1rSt real clue TO genius has 70
do with the relative worth of these Sec
ondary personalities. In judging these
personalities. a social consideration is
always the proper measuring stick. A
man. whose secondary personalities tend
always to eXpend his energy in a max
imitation of selfish ends may be q
genius for manipulating things his way,
but his ways are soon discovered and
denounced, at least by those who set a
higher value on human imagination and
the motives that sustain it. Character.
for instance. is a question of q good
mind socially directed.
A recognized genius is one whose sec
ondary personalities are headed toward
some advancement Of the common good,
whose social trends outshadow the sell
fish trends. Rarely do men erect mon
umentS to cyclists. One does not read
the story of Nero or of Napoleon. though
they were geniuses, with the same emo
tional response that accompanies
reading the biography Of Abraham
Lincoln,
Given the secondary personalities
more or less closely united. the first
clue to genius Is the behavior of these
parts. AS a rule, this clue may be de-
tected very early in life At least, the
most-talked-of biographies seem to en-
phasize the fact that the truly great
men have from childhood headed to-
ward the common good.

would fall asleep. lying upon his back
with his mouth open.
This posture was taken by intention.
For while he was in this condition his
servants were instructed to put a
feather down his throat. so that he
would discharge the contents Of his
stomach.
He was then ready for another meal.
Naturally he suffered for his indis-
cretions. He was subject at times to
severe pains In the stomach"

agony that he thought. seriously of

Claudius had long succession of
wives and was fortunate In none Of
them. The last was the infamous
Agrippina. whose son, later to become
notorious as Nero. he adopted.
Agrippina is believed to have ended
his life by poisoning. She is said to
have tempted his appetite with lnush-
rooms, of which he was Unfortunately
fond. While he gormandized from a
dish Of the delicacy into which the
poison had been introduced, she dined
daintily by his side. from another which
she knew to be uncontaminated.
His end came in his sixty-fourth
year. But his death was kept con-
cealed until all steps had been taken to
obtain the succession Of Nero, then only
II years of age.
Years later. Agrippina was to die at
the behest of Nero.

On the first of March the Salii. the
IL priests of Mars. marched in their
most solemn procession. Afterward
they eorged themselves at feast. the
luxury of which was proverbial through
out ancient Rome.
The Emperor Claudius had not
thought to attend this feast until, one
wear, he was hearing causes in the for
UNI of Augustus, not far from the temple
of Mars. Then vagrant breeze
brought to his nostrils occasional whiffs
of the appetizing dinner under prepa-
ration.
ciaudius was a slave to food. He
tried for a time to keep his attention
upon the cases before him. But his
mouth watered his noStr1ls tw1tched.
Finally. he no longer could endure
being tantalized. He abruptly termi-
mated the session of the tribunal and
hastened to Join the priests.
He was always ready to eat and
drink at any time and at any place. He
was both tall and bulky, and so re-
ouired a full share of food for his up
keep. However, he went far beyond his
requirements. He gorged for the mere
pleasure of tasting food.
Suetonius SAYS that he seldom LEFT
the table until he had thoroughly cram
med himself and at the same time drank
to intoxication.

MISUNDERSTANDING CRAVING Is often
inherited, but may also be due to poor
health or to lack Of local care. Failure
to brush and comb the hair daily,
massage the scalp or shampoo properly
may account in part for the trouble.
Too much curling with hot irons and

did have the inside track, and probably
still has.
Ben Lyon was another Elderite. He
and Ruth had the common interest OF
aviation. But before Hoot Gibson ar
rived on the scene Ben Lyon announced
his engagement to Bebe Daniels. She
also likes the upper attitudes. Now the
boulevard thinks Hoot Gibson Is the
permanent sutton. He used to be cow
boy star when movie had such thing.
| Today he has been graduated into other
and more dignifled fields. Movies have
gone highbrow and the Westerns are no
more.
If few years ago any one had been
rash enough to predict that Elsie Janis
would abandon the footlights for writ
ing career and the post of supervisor in
Hollywood studio an alienist would
have been called.
| But the indefatigable Elsie, about
whom movies have been made and to
whom some of the worlds finest audi
ences have capitulated, has done that
very thing. At the studio where she
will off1ciate they have leaning toward
| the musical theme these days, and Elsie
Janis as supervisor will be valuable
addition to the personnel of musical
| comedy production. Hollywood doesn't
seem alien to her, as the people she has
worked with through the years are all
hereabouts.
Maurice Chevalier goes back to Paris
| for the Fall season. The musical COM
edy he has been making under Ernst
Lubitsch,s direction Is finished, and
Chevalier must fulfill his duties to the
public which originally acclaimed him.
Business affairs in Paris have their

been popular grasshopper type. If he
has sung and made merry for the world,
he has also put by some Of the proceeds.
Much of this money is invested in night
clubs, and some of the charm of these
Is an occasional glimpse of the owners
smiling face and delightful imprOmptu
song or two.
Chevalier says motion pictures-or au-
dible pictureS-have classified him for
the world in his precise niche. He
feels that he is an entertainer, and that
the talkies establish this fact with the
general public.
When he returns to America in Octo-
Der he will work in the studios Long
Island plant. More and more pictures
are being made on the East Coast. In
time generous rivalry may spring up
between the centers of production. At
present Hollywood has the best of it.
as the major productions are being done
here-and the major disagreements
happen in this place.
/ Hollywood is worried about the
'grown-up" idea as revealed by the
Autumn modes. Local costumiers, eager
to be the first to show any new move
ment in the world of fashion, have pre-
sented skirts inches below the knee.
| Long skirts make for dignity; we
want to be girlish and mischievousl"
cry the local beauties of all ages. IF
we wear long skirts, we will become

All of which is investing the longer
