BY Elsie Robinson

Some day you'll fall in love-"
With whom?
You grin or grunt, according
to your mood. But in either
case you think to yourself:
What a fool question! How
can anyone know who they're
going to fall for? Why we
pick the craziest people. There's
no rhyme or reason about love.
It just happens.
You're wrong partner. Love
doesn't just happen. We make
1t happen. And we don't pick
or get picked-at random.
There are definite laws govern
ing this business of falling in
love-" TT IS POSSIBLE FOR
YOU TO KNOW THE SORT
OF PERSON YOU'RE GOING

THAT BLISSFUL EVENT BE
TEN YEARS DISTANT. And
you won't need to be a psychic
to do it. You need only KNOW
YOURSELF.
If you can know the truth
about yourself, you will then
know the nature Of the man or
the woman you will some day
seek. Or you will even be able
to answer that pesty problem,
why did I pick what I did?"
Why do we love? We love
because we need. There's the
bodily need. Of course, but
that's the simplest part of love,
If the bodily need were all,
love could be easily managed.
But infinitely more subtle and
powerful than the needs of the
body are the needs of the mind
and heart. The world may not
know those needs. Outwardly
we may strut comfortable and
complacent, fully dressed, well
fed. But, within ourselves, each
one Of us huddles naked, alone
and afraid-hating our naked
ness-hating our fear-longing
to be brave and beautiful and

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

by LIT. LOUIS T.. blScn-
Baseball is distinctly an
American game, but because Of
what it is, 1t is becoming a
favorite sport in foreign coun-
tries.
Baseball did not become so
popular a sport for nothing
that is because there is a
real. sound, valid and useful
psychology behind it all.
Baseball is, of course, rather
q simple game, easy to under
stand, comparatively inexpen-
sive, a clean sport and not diff
ficult to follow.
Then it gets people out into
the fresh air.
But the interesting thing
about this universal game is
that 1t is so fascinating to
watch. Some find it more
fascinating to watch than
actually to play the game
themselves.
Consider for a moment and
you will find that the above
reasons for your liking base
ball are not the only ones.
In fact, the chief reason you
are so attracted, especially to
big league games, is because the
crowds that go there hold you
spellbound.
You enjoy being part of a
baseball crowd because you are
by instinct what may be called
"crowd-minded."
You feel more at ease with a
large mass of people than when
alone.
A crowd gives you a sense Of
security.
Although the crowd you are
in may be composed of all sorts
of people-H1ien, women, young,
old, of all kinds and conditions
Of mankind-it presents itself
to you as a homogeneous group,
gathered together for single
purpose.
This kind of a crowd gives
you q friendly feeling which is
comforting and you like 1t.
In a baseball crowd you let
yourself go as nowhere else ex.
cept perhaps in a football
game, where the same rules Of
psychology apply. .r,

Cyrus Hall Mccormick
BIZ Archibald Henderson

It has been said that the
stroke of an ironical fate de-
creed that the invention Of ;
northerner, Eli Whitney, made
inevitable the Civil War. and
the invention of a southerner,
Cyrus Mccormick, made inevi-
table the ending of that war
in favor of the North.
McCormick's father was OBJ
sessed with the idea of invent
ing a reaper. His young son,
Cy, followed the progress Of his
fathers invention without inter.
est. When the extraordinary
contraption was given q trial,
it proved a humiliating failure.
Robert Mccormick lived to
see the day when a reaper, in
vented by Cyrus along entirely
different lines, won a complete
success. He had the grace and
the greatness to say: II am
proud to have a son who can
do what ! failed to do"
The first reaper, which at a
public exhibition cut six acres
of oats in an afternoon, dates
from 1881. Although McCor-
mick had introduced seven
principles, all of which are an
indispensable part of every
reaper constructed today, i'm
provements of great value were
subsequently to be made.
Mccormick was an extraordi-
narily ingenious mechanic. The
original machine, which he in.

vented, is essentially the one
we have today. But it only per-
formed one function: to cut the
grain.
A farm hand had to walk in
side the platform, and rake off
the ground the grain cut by the
sliding blade of the reaper. Hu.
man harveSterS, who followed
the reaper, gathered up the
bundles and tied a few strips Of
grain around them, making the
sheaf.
In 1874 this difficulty was
surmounted by one Charles B.
Wilmington of Jonesville, Wis.
He invented a mechanism com.
posed of two steel arms which
seized the grain, twisted a wire
around it, cut the wire, and
tossed the completed sheaf to
the earth. The work of the
reaper was now wholly done by
the reaper-a man or woman
merely was required to drive
the two horses and perform me-
chanical operations.
Yet all was not yet we'll with
the reaper. It was alleged by
complaining farmers that bits
Of wire got into the straw and
were swallowed by the cattle.
Binders which used twine in
stead of wire were almost stimuli
taneously invented by John E.
Appleby and Marquis l.. Con
ham. BY 1880 the self-binding
reaper was complete.

Ryan Asks That Silver
Be Given Remonetization

Editor, Times:
In my letter to The Times,
September /, 1880. captioned
Gold Real Cause Of Condi-
tions Here" ! stated that the
adoption of gold as the pri-
mary redemption coin-money,
Oplus credit paper-note currency
minus coined metallic money
for it's redemption. plus under
consumption and the demoneti.
zation of silver as q part-coined
metallic redemption-money the
civilized world over now. to be
principally the cause Of the
worlds financial, commercial,
trade and unemployment con-
dition."
Up until the Sherman act,
1874, demonetizing silver in the
United States as a part pri-
mary, coined, metallic, redemp-
ton money, the United States
had been on a bi-metallic
money basis. I now state
scientifically that the ratio of
silver production to gold pro-
duction is not now and never
has been 16 ounces of silver
to / ounce of gold, but about
IA ounces of silver to- ! ounce
of gold, or less. That it never
cost as much to produce, mine
ore, smelt ore (and mint into
money-coin) an ounce of gold
as it did an ounce of silver.
I now note Mr.. Cromie, of
the Vancouver Sun, thinks the
main trouble is: Refusal of
European bankers to recognize
the necessity of restoring sill
yer as a / to IL world money
token with gold. There are
now about 5000, 900, 900 ounces
of silver in the world worth
$4,000, 600, 900. If bankers would
do their duty the 5000, 900 900
ounces of silver would be worth
$4,000, 100000 and the pur-
chasing power of China (now
on gold basis, forced India
and the East and Far East
would be increased by $8,000,-
900, 900, almost as much as the
United States lent to our dear
allies. Cutting down almost so
per cent the value of none"
used by more than half of the
people of the earth is one cause
Of the worlds present trouble" !"
Why call bankers of tre
United States and Europe ito
do their duty? Bankers did
not make gold alone primary
redemption money, but govern
ments. Bankers did not de-
monetize gold once in England,
France and Germany! The gov
ernmentS of those countries did
as a matter of necessity.
i am glad to see the editor
of the Vancouver Sun sustain
ing the position I took in my
letter to The Times September
/. I believe it to be the first
call in these world-worried
times, in re, the reconciliation
Of silver, as art-redemption
money the world over. Let the
United States do. 1t and Of ne.
