a girl digs up the information for her

Keep Your Distance.

A famous ARCHAEOLOGICAL authority
named Flugge showed the importance
of droplet infection. He proved, too, that
there Is practically no risk of contract
ing tuberculosis by the inhalation of
dust. Psychologists working under
Flugge's direction produced tuberculosis
in guinea pigs by causing the animals
to breathe directly in front of the
mouth of a person with tuberculosis
while the person was coughing. When
the pigs were not brought nearer than
40 inches to the mouth of such person
they did not contract the disease. But
they were almost invariably infected If
they were held within a foot or two
from the mouth while the tuberculous
patient coughed.
Another good authority, Winslow
| first sprayed the mouth and throat of
man with a culture Of bacillus pro-
digioSus, which is harmless but gives
distinctive red growth on culture
media. Then the man spoke loudly for
half an hour. Then 140 liters of air
were taken from various points in the
room The B. prodigiosus was found
only seven times. Another type of germ
called streptococcus salivariuS, normal
or natural inhabitant of the mouth, was
not found at all in IA liters of air ex-
amined. In similar tests Robinson did
find S. salivarius in some cultures from
the air of the room where the man
spoke. But these authorities concluded
that their observations tended to sup
port the conviction that aerial infec-
ton Of any sort Is a minor factor in
the spread of disease.
But note particularly that the guinea
pigs escaped infection when they were
not brought closer than a meter-about
40 inches-to the face of the person
with the disease.
You can't apply guinea pig facts to
human life-and that is why our states
prisoners should be turned over to
medical science for experimental use
but I think 1t is perfectly logical and
safe to assume that, so long as one can
contrive to keep more than four feet
from the face of ones vis-a-vis, one is
not likely TO catch whatever the Wis
Avis may happen to have in the way
of a respiratory infection.
Many tests by other bacteriologists
have fairly well shown that the drop
lets of moisture given of from nose
and mouth in the form of visible or in
viSibly fine spray when one coughs will
carry 10 or IL feet. The range of the
spray in sneezing Is the same. In
talking the range is lowered to four feet
or less.
Everybody understands that kissing
on the mouth Is a very likely way to
contract any communicable disease
which is transmissable through the
nose, throat or mouth Secretions. The
next best way Is to conduct a Weber
and Fields chat with the person who
has the disease or Is perhaps just
coming down with it. Younger readers
may not know what Weber and Fields
means.

Everyday Psychology
By Oh. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Living Person Writes.


Nearly every day psychology uncov-
ers some hitherto unknown human ges-
ture. To list these gestures would mean
a volume; to comment en- them ade-
quately would mean a library. One
gets the notion that, after all, human
nature az we see it in everyday life is
one grand series of gestures Some OF
them are consciously performed; most
of them are done unconsciously. AL
of which means that what you once
more or less laboriously acquired you
now habitually perform.
OF all gesturings handwriting Is the
most telling. Omar Khayyam gave 1t
as his opinion that the moving finger
writes" In the light Of modern psy-
chology the living person writes
Graphologists say handwriting Is brain
writing
We all pass through periods when
we consciously try to make impressions
on our neighbors. We do so by means
of gestures-new clothes, new man.
ners, etc. In handwriting they take
the form of large and ostentatious
letters, underlined words. lots Of ex-
clamation points, elaborate signatures
These gestures are closely hooked up
with your sense of self-importance.
Perhaps you have never thought OF
it, but what you write is just as signif1-
cant as how you write. I wonder II
you have noticed that adolescent girls
often change the spelling of their
names. Why does "Ethar' mean more
than Ethel" Marie" more than
Mary" "Eleanore' more h q n
"Eleanor"2 And why does John Howard
Smith start out by signing his name
as John H. Smith and then along in
the 20s begin writing it j. Howard
Smith? Perhaps by the time he is so
j. H. Smith will satisfy him.
In order to understand handwriting
try to understand the writer in terms
Of his sense Of Importance in the world
in which he lives. That Is the first
psychological approach to graphology.

The Climber.

AS soon as little child finds his feet
will support him, he begins to climb up
in the world. His growth demands that
his muscles be used, stretched, adjusted
to their uses, co-ordinated with the
nerves that control them. In order to
develop normally, a little child must
climb.
This climbing and clambering all over
the house reduces the child's mother to
the verge of tears. She is afraid that
the child will fall and be hurt. and her
fears are not unfounded. Children do
fall. and they do get hurt. But the
hurt Is not serious as general thing.
Nature has provided for this climbing
period, and the child tumbles about
with wonderful ease. There will be a
few bumps that have to be kissed well,
but that is all in the game
The older the child gets the higher
he wants to climb, of course. The boy
and girl of and climb trees and
roofs and high fences. They walk
along the spans of the bridges and skip
along the stone walls like chipmunks
II they have been allowed to grow their
muscles in normal fashion, allowed to
train their bodies to carry them
wherever they wish to go in the be-
ginning years, they are as safe as they
can be In this dangerous world. But If
they have been frightened and held
down and trained not to climb from
the beginning,t hey have lost the OPP
portunity for climbing and the Sureness
OF control that goes with it.
Another reason for this desire to
climb Is to get better view When the
baby stands on the floor, his line of
vision Is far below that of your own.
He can look up, to be sure, but that is
not the same as being up and looking
about. The view Is different and things
look different. That is why the child
insists upon climbing up on a chair or
a table. He wants to see the world a
little better, little clearer. A very
good reason, is it not?
Garry the baby about the house and
let him look at things, every once in a
while. That helps him find himself in
relation to the things about him. It
makes him more intelligent about things
and people. Arrange a low step, boxes
covered with old carpet are just the
thing, SO he can begin his explorations
in comparative safety. AS he grows in
power provide better climbing facilities ::
a pair of steps, ladder, and If fairy
fortune favors him, a jungle gym.
The jungle gym ought to be out
doors. Other children share it, and
there is circus time and much JOY and
much healthy growth. The climbers
are safe, and they acquire confidence
and self-control to great degree. The
mothers soon learn that nothing serious
is going to happen and leave the chill
dren to their play. A course of training
like this will make shed climbing. tree
climbing, ladder work easy and safe.
Climbing is essential to spiritual
growth. The soul that does not aspire
to higher flights sinks to dead levels
and sorrow is its portion. Let's climb.
