pack Of wild beasts-drove him
headlong, a hunted thing.
Drove him into insanity for
three dreadful years. He tells
the story Of those years.
It isn't just Henry Collins
Browns story. It may so
easily be your story, or mine.
Once we thought that insanity
came willy-nilly that 1t
was something beyond human
control. Now we know that
we can, and tragically often do
WISH INSANITY ON OUR
SELVES.
SeIf-InfIicted Strain
Mental breakdowns do not
come overnight" writes Mr..
Brown. There are months,
even years of prepa aratory
strain"
Years Of sELFINFL1CTED
STRAIN-as his story shows.
Bit by bit, the barrier, Of SELF
CONTROL crumbling - You've
seen it happening in others.
There's that woman we
both know her. They say she
was a brilliant girl but always
very sensitive. Now she's so
"queer" that her family must
watch her constantly. She has
a persecution complex"-thinks
that someone is always spying
on her, gossiping about her, try
ing to do her harm. Has she
any real enemies? No. But for
years she has magnified trifles-
partly through fear, partly
through egotiSm. Now she has
an actual obsession. SHE HAS
MADE HERSELF INSANE BY
HER OWN EMOTIONAL IN
DILIGENCE, HER OWN LACK
OF SELF-CONTROL.
It happened to her. It can
happen to you. Nine times out
Of ten, insanity is NOT a disease
but A STATE OF MIND. YOU
CAN CREATE THAT STATE
OF MIND-YOU CAN MAKE
YOURSELF INSANE.
I'm this strange adventure we
call life it is necessary to be
alert at all times" says Henry
Collins Brown.
ALERT AGAINST WHAT?
ALERT AGAINST THE MEN
ACE OF YOURSELF.

eyes, Of course, I'm SAFE" you
say. '"That is, I'm as safe as the
police can make me. Accidents
may happen, with all these
gangsters about, but I pay
money for protection and I'm
supposed to get it,"
Yes, you pay for protection
against gangSters. But gangSterS
aren't the worst thing you have
to fear, stranger. Police can't
protect you against that worst
thing. nor can taxes buy you
immunity.
THE WORST THING YOU
HAVE TO FEAR is YOURSELF.
Your own fear, your own hate
and frantic excitement, they
can do you more harm than all
the gangSterS in America.
They're more dangerous than
sawed-off shot guns or poison
gas bombs. Are you safe from
THEM?
There is a strangely com.
pelling sentence in Henry Col
Inns Browns article in the Sep
tember COSMOPOLTTAN-"A
MIND THAT FOUND ITSELF"
It is compelling because Mr..
Brown went through hell in
proving its truth.

we call ,life," says he, lit is
necessary to be on the alert at
all times, and self control, which
seems such an insignificant
thing to talk about, is after
all the most potent factor in a
successful life"
Henry Collins Brown had, for
a time, a successful life, Of
many interests and varied &C
ton. But he did not have
celf-control. His intense imag-
ination seethed with ideas and
desires. His outer life was
filled with irritations, disap-
pointments and confusion. HE
COULD NOT CONTROL HIS
OWN REACTIONS TO THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES AND so
HE BECAME A MAN BESET.

It was unfortunate that the
press last Wednesday should
have commented on the fact
that "Wall Street smiled" over
the reduction Of wages Of the
workers.
If she was pleased it would
have been much wiser to have
smiled behind her fan. It will
not create a happy spirit among
the workers to learn that wall
Street smiled because they are
to get less money and, in conse-
quence, Wall Street is to get
more.
The rise in stocks was due
to the feeling that these will
pay better now that less Of the
earnings are to go to wages
and more to profits.
In these days especially we
want nothing less than a fan

of class conflict, and it does
no good and may do much
harm to permit men whose
wages are being cut to note
anything suggesting a celebra-
tion in high financial circles
because their wages are cut.
And the rest Of us have
surely learned that a soaring
stock market does not measure
the height Of prosperity for the

Green's Suggestion
Sure Of . Response
Mr.. Green, head of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, has
just made a suggestion that is
sure to meet with a response.
He says:
eff these corporations be-
came the beneficiaries Of Q
high protective tariff in order
to protect wages, then it seems
reasonable that, since they &C
cepted this favor and reduced
wages, the tariff schedule
should be reduced and the spe-
cial favOrS accorded them by
the Government withdrawn"
It does seem reasonable,
doesn't it?
But, Mr.. Green is unhappy
In his phrasing. "Since they
accepted the favor" is a bit
mild and contradictory of the
facts. He means ''since they
exacted the privilege" Did
Mr.. Green observe any i'm
portunities Of the people ad-
dressed to Mr.. Grundy to
please accept this favor" Of
the Grundy rates? We have
no such recollection. Our
recollection is that Mr.. Grundy
announced with admira b e
frankness that he had raised q
great campaign fund for the
election Of Mr.. Hoover from
among the men who got these
special favors" and who have

not since appeared in any plat
form. These high taxes on all
the people have made for
profits and enormous salaries
for a few.
During the IL years ending
in 1880 the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation paid, in addition
to great salaries to its officers,
bonuses amounting to $25, ,100s-
900. These twenty-five millions
might well have gone into
wages, or at least into a fund
for the protection Of wages in
depression; but the prohibitive
tariff on steel was not meant
for the workers-it was meant
for increased profits and hand
some bonuses.
The strange thing is that
the workers themselves were
fooled. We have sometimes
thought them almost foolish.
In other days, passing through
mining towns in campaign
years, we have had a laugh
over lurid posters in the win

NET GAME HELPED
/. WITH HELEN BACK
Gives Sport Notable Star
Around Which Interest
May Rally.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, February 49,
nj With all nature in this
1 northerly cline smothered
in the icy embrace Of geld
February, there is more, surface
and underestimate boiling Of out
door amateur sport than has been
marked in many a Winter.
There is, for instance, Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody's decision to
stay in the United States next
Spring and Summer to WELD her
devastating racquet in sectional
and national Journeys.
Tennis enthusiasts, quite logically,
are rejoicing nightly. 1t will be fine
thing for American tennis, inasmuch
as the disappearance of Bill Tilden and
Francis Hunter from the amateur scene
places the sport in position Of needing
some outstanding figure around which
interest may rally.
Mrs. Moody, SO the writer has word
from California, has no feeling at all
about the failure of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association ranking COM
Ynittee to place her in the 1881 list.
Practically all her tennis was played
abroad last year and while no one queS-
tions her absolute prominence among
woman tennis players. there was no rea-
son why she should have been ranked in
this country on the basis OF her sue
cesseS abroad.
AS to the girl who received No. po-
eition in the national ranking-Mrs. l..
A. Harper of Oakland, Calif-it may be
said that she Is really a great player
and this fact is atteSted in no case more
strongly than by the fact that those who
watch tennis form closely believe her
qualified to take two games, or occas-
sionally perhaps three, from Mrs. Moody
in O single set.
DENNY FRIEDMAN, they say, will
- play no more professional foot
ball, now that he has been in
cluded as member of the Yale coach
ing STAFF. Just what salary he is to
receive has not been vouchSafed; but
from efforts made in his Behalf among
Yale men it may be suspected that some
business proposition wherein he will be
employed nine months in the year fig
ured among the considerations involved
In his attachment to the Yale foot ball
faculty.
A ND in connection with the Yale and
"A Princeton agreement to have their
game the final game of the Big Three
every alternate year comes reminder
Of an investigation inaugurated in Bos-
ton two years ago in which Yale stu
dents and alumni were sounded as to
their sentiment in rotating the last
game between Princeton and Harvard
The findings were rather surprising to
the Investigators inasmuch as a majority
Of Yale men questioned expressed them
selves In favor of rotation.
