BewGre Of Day Dreams
By Elsie Robinson

DOOzE? Hop? Gambling?
- Vicious habits, all Of
them. Habits that creep in
stealthily and demoralize hu-
man life. But there's another
habit, even more insidious and
dangerous, of which you never
hear a warning word Day
Dreaming.
Day dreams have spoiled
more lives than all the booze,
hop and cards put together.
Yet most of us think they're
just a pleasant, harmless way
of killing time.
Alcoholism. morphine addic-
ton, gambling, doctors and
psychologists say these are
forms of escape" Men drink,
gamble and take drugs to get
away from reality. A few
cocktails, a sniff of powder,
the lure Of an unturned card,
and the Workaday world van
ishes. Away go your fear and
sadness, the thought of the
work you should do, the prob
lem you should face. Some
thing has happened. You've
crossed treShold
stepped into a new world
a warm, happy, careless, lifty-
drifty world where at last all
your dreams can come true
without any trouble to your
self.
Gone are worries and fear.
pressures and responsibilities.
Everyone admires you, envies
you, courts you. And it's all

a deal in cards and you're
free!
Free in your poor, dazzled,
doped mind-but not really
free. Actually, the most miser-
able slave on earth!
That's what booze and hop
and gambling can do to you.
That's what day dreams can do
to you, too.
Day dreams-castles in Spain
with never a penny to pay,
Everything you want to have or
be, yours, without a struggle.
Just close your eyes and you're
off. Gone are the dirty dishes
and the crying baby. Gone are
the clacking typewriters and
the endless ledgerS.
Gone the sense of failure, the
nag of responsibility, all the
dreary, weary world of reality.
And you're off, in a warm, care
less, lifty-drifty world of Make
Believe.
Day dreams-the escape from
reality. The dear, dopey haven
for wounded conceit and lazy
muscles-the hideaway for the
lazy and cowardly and silly,
who haven't the Spunk to buck
life as it is. Once in a while
day dreaming's fun, but look
out when it becomes a habit!
Many woman has sacrificed a
good husband and home for the
unreal romance of day dreams.
Many a man has passed up a
fine career for the false lure Of
power in a day dream.
Beware of that secret threSh-
hold over which we escape from
reality!

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By DR.. Louis z. Bisch-

IF THE defective is anything
L at all, he is a social problem.
Our reformatories, prisons,
almshouses and aSylums are
filled with persons of this type
and the expense of their main
tenance runs into millions of
dollars each year.
Were it not for the adult de-
fective, the epileptic and the
insane, many of the laws on
the statute books could be
safely stricken off and our po-
lice forces reduced. Much of
our legislation would be unnec-
essary.
1t is because of the presence.
as free agents in the commu-
nifty of persons of defective men
tality that the taxpayers and
the normal and law-abiding
citizens must suffer.
An experiment was made by
me at the New York police de-
partment in 1915 to determine
the percentage of arrested per-
sons who might be entitled to a
mental examination.
1t was found that S per
cent of the daily arrests were
more or less irresponsible.
Practically all of these pris-
oners were adults and all who
suffered from mental disturb
anCeS of one kind or another
had been so affected for years,
often from childhood.
We are continually thrusting
upon communities individuals
who are menace to themselves
as we'll as to others, who are
bound to come into conflict with
the law sooner or later, and
after imprisoning them for a
few months or years we release
them as free agents, only to
repeat the performance of ar
rest, trial and imprisonment all
over again within a short time.
Fortunately, the insane are
being recognized and treated
earlier than they used to be.
That is some progress, at least.
But, unfortunately, public
opinion has not yet been aroused
regarding the mentally defec-
tive. The problems surrounding
them are neglected to an aston
iShing degree.
Every feeble-minded, in other
words, defective individual is a
possible criminal offender.
Not all are criminal, to be
sure, but they can readily &c ed
into acts of a criminal nature e
by a normal mind.
Especially dangerous are the
moronS and the So-called "bor-
der.line" cases. The latter are
almost normal and only can
they be discovered by means of
special psychological tests aud
expert examination.
The marked cases Of feeble
mindednesS, those that anybody
can diagnose without special
lied training, are not near SO
potentially menacing to society
as are those cases which often
are regarded as merely queer
or eccentric but who actually are
not normal.

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland
Mans Color Complex

Mans COIOr-COmplc1
GGTTNEIERE is something about
L blue that brings out the best
in a man." says Marion Davies,
the blonde screen star.
Of course. Blue is the color
of the heavens, and of the eyes
of the angels, and of the SaShes
worn by the virtuouS, prosecuted
heroineS in all the mid-Victorian
novels. Besides, it is the anti
thesis of pink, which is, some
how. confused in a mans mind
with all feminine weakness and
wickedneSS.
There is something disarming
and appealing about blue; some
thing that invests a girl with
that irresistible "come-and-pro-
tect-me" charm which awakenS
all mans chivalry, and inspires
him to defend her-eVen when
there's nothing to defend her
against.
A blonde in green may look
smart, daShing, cool and allur-
ing; but there is Sophistication
and a daring about green, that
makes the most guilelesS younu
thing look vampish to the SuS-
piciouS masculine eye.
Lavender and violet are even
more provocative. They are the
symbol of spring in her most CO.
quettish and intoxicating moods.
They may not suggest a purple
past: but they, somehow, hint at
an orchid future or, at least, at
a few mauve moments. They
are the incarnation of sophisti-
cation.
There is something about a
girl in violet, especially in spring
that positively frightens man!
He sees himself helplesSly falling
before her allurement, and going
down for the third time. Per
hapS, even proposing marriage! F.!
But BLUE lends her an aura
of innocence and naivete, which
stills all his alarms, and brings
to life all his boyish illusions
and noble protective instincts.
He simply cannot think of girl
in delicate baby-blue as danger
o'lS!"
Let the same girl appear in a
rose-pink frock or G. pale pink
teagown, and Immediately she
ceases to be a beautiful inspira-
ton and becomes a challenge.
Pink is to a man, what scar
let is to a bull. 1t makes him
wild! The adventures in the
play always does her vamping or
her numbering in a rose-colored
boudoir or a pink satin drawing
room-never in blue-and-white
kitchen.
