Why We Do
What We Do
WHY WE REPEAT
by NJ. X. THOMSON. Phi. d.

livery one knows what it Is to be
IL sorry, to regret doing something,
wishing that we had done something
else.
Some people would explain this fact
by saying that 1t is conscience that is
troubling the person who is sorry and
regretful. And by conscience they
would mean some sort Of inner voice
which condemns you for violating
moral law and keeps telling you over
and over again that you have acted
wrongly, that you should not have
done SO, that you will be punished for
your act. This makes one feel blue
and downhearted.
Whatever views we take of con-
science the fact remains that all nor
NAL people feel sense of guilt and
shame in doing what they know to be
wrong.
But it is not in connection with
moral questions alone that we expert
ence regret and are sorry. This hap
pens every time we realize that we
have made mistake Of some sort
injuring another person, making
foolish choice, getting cheated, or feel
ing cheap in some way, or in suffering
a loss when we might have done
better.
Some Of us are inclined to overdo
this just as some are inclined to not
feel regret strongly enough. Those
who suffer from too sensitive a ma
ture in this respect are manifestly un-
fair to themselves.
AS a man grows older he usually
gets more mellow and has a broader
view Of things which may bring re-
greet concerning his earlier conduct.
One common regret is the lack of an
probation we have for our parents
/ while they are alive. We do not
realize at the time that we are not
doing all we can to show our love and
appreciation. But after they are
taken from us and we cannot possibly
make amends we can think up any
number of nice things we might have
! done for them.

she didn't remember anything about
the train-nor did she remember
single thing that had happened in all
Of that first year of her life. She was
little over year of age when her
daddy had carried her from one hotel
to another. She remembered how
dark and strange everything had
seemed, and she remembered that her
mother and daddy had talked to each
other and sometimes to her.
What they had said she had not un-
derstood, but she had not felt fright
ened in her fathers arms.
From the time she was a year old
until she was eighteen months old, she
remembered very little. Only she re-
membered kindly old waiters-she
could see them now as she thought.
about them. And she remembered the
great excitement of creeping. Oh. how
fast she could creep. But just as soon
as she had good start and was really
rushing delightedly along her mother
had come hurrying after her and had
caught her up and carried her back to
her room.
Her mother had a way Of hurrying
so very fast-Melly could not keep
ahead Of her mother, once her mother
had started after her.
Sometimes her daddy would come
and stop her when she was creeping.
Sometimes the very Oldest and the
very incest waiter in the hotel chased
after her.
It seemed such a pity. They were
afraid she would fall downstairs. And
she was not afraid of anything. Not
single thing.
But best of all, during those months,
was the great big Newfoundland dog
with the long, soft, beautiful hair and
the most handsome face Nelly had
ever seen.
Her mothers face was nice and so
was her daddy's, and there were cross
faces, too-faces that looked at her
and made her feel in the way and not
loved. Faces that belonged to people
who also had cross way Of speaking
NlCly hdOW just Wudt was
the matter with those people then.
When she was three, though, and
thought about them she knew that
they were merely "fussy" people who
were made nervous by children.
But the dog had the most handsome
face of all. She loved to put her head
close to his head. And he seemed to
love 1t, too. And he gave her rides
all the rides she wanted-on his big,
beautiful back. Oh, she would never
forget that dog. Not as long as she
lived. He had made her have so many
happy times when she was little.
Yes, she was little then, but even
then she was not a baby. Still, per-
haps she could call those her baby
days. Now, though, she was three
years old and she was most certainly
a baby no longer. Only foolish people
called her baby now!

in law enforcement.
This same fact holds true regarding
international agreements such as peace
Peace can never be bought nor is it
possible to realize it by the mere
signing Of protocol. When public
opinion frankly and In no mistaken
language demands the elimination of
war, the reign Of peace shall have al
ready begun. One step In that direc-
ton is the removal Of misunderstood
ings between nations. When people
thoroughly understand each other
much of the difficulty which causes
separation and enmity is removed. An
important contribution to that end has
recently been made by Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald of Great Britain.
In his remarkable address before the
senate he said: "There can be no
war; nay, more: it is absolutely i'm.
possible, If you and we do our duty
in making the peace pact effective,
that any section Of our arms, whether
land or sea or air, can ever again
come into hostile conflict. Deep down
in our hearts Is the conviction that
can never be removed that there will
be full understanding between our
people. With understanding, misun-
Outstanding will be completely charmed
away"
Let other nations send ambassadors
of peace and friendship to us. Let
them speak the mind Of their govern
ments as did the prime minister of
Great Britain. Let our government
send to other nations representatives
of the twill of America" for interna-
tional peace and its certainty will not
be far distant.

Dear Editor:

g INCE was a kid, l have always

I've watched a big factory roll liver

I'm waiting now for machine to

Watching a girl manicurist today 1
was impressed with the number of

of her motions, I estimate, were un-
productive. What field for scien-

But any man who pays 81 for be-

extra fourishes and hand pats. It's a
good racket, and those who prefer
can always snip their own with the

memory. Nelly knew that. OF course
she knew it.
She had been a baby herself. And
she simply couldn't remember what
she had thought about when she was
baby. She often tried to think hard.
By thinking hard she felt she might
remember something. But no matter
how hard she thought, she couldn't re-
member further back than when she
was one whole year old.
Her mother said that most people
couldn't remember when they were
year old, but Nelly could do that. Not
much. of course.
She could remember only q few
things about that time. She had a
strange, dim remembrance Of the night
she had been carried in her daddy's
arms. 1t was very, very, dark night.
She had been told since that they had
arrived in the town where they were
going to make their home and that
the place they had gone to stay for
the night was overcrowded and that
there had been no room for them.
She knew they had arrived on a
train, as she had been told that. But

GIRL BASKETBALL STAR
 IS STILL UNCONSCIOUS
Nell Finchcr Struck the Back OI Her Head on Floor in Game
 Last Friday.

Charlotte, N. C.. Feb. II P - Miss Nell Fincher. 17 year old De- rita High school basketball captain. still remained in state of coma to- day after more than 1So hours Of unconsciousness. She fell while play ing basketball last Friday struck the back of her head on the floor and since that time has never re- gained consciousness.
 Physicians say she has chance 10 recover and yesterday declared her condition was somewhat i'm proved"
 Those who were in the gym nasium at the time she fell said the ball was being thrown up at cen- ter, that Miss Fincher jumped and lost her balance.
 When the coach and players found they could not rouse her. she was taken immediately to a hospital. A physician who examined her said the skull was not fractured and that she had concussion of the brain.
