time thinking about the other
fellow. THEN IT'S A CINCH
THAT THE OTHER FELLOW
ISN'T GOING TO SPEND
MUCH TIME THINK1N I N G
ABOUT YOU.
A Lonely Soul
So you become stranded,
lonely. And your magnified
Self-Importance becomes an OBJ
: session. An irritating obsession.
An obsession that sickens and
thickens on you like a disease.
There's only one way to cure
an Inferiority Complex. You
can't cure it by digging into the
past and it's ancient injustices.
You can only cure it by getting
rid of this obsession Of Self.
STOP THINKING ABOUT
YOURSELF BY THINKING
OF OTHERS.
Realize that these people you
meet in the office, at parties, on
the street, are ALL OF A PIECE
WITH YOU. Realize that they
dream and suffer and blunder
and rejoice and make fools
of themselves Just as you
LY THAT THEY HAVE AS
MANY IANDICAPS TO OVER
COME, AS MANY SAD MEM
DRIES TO ENDURE, AS YOU
HAVE-PERHAPS MORE. Real
ize that their seeming happiness
and success is based on count
less struggles and failures and
embarrasSmentS.
People Are Interesting
Turn your eyes from your
self to those other people. Con-
centrate on them until they
become alive to you. People
have never really become alive
to you. You have never been
really interested in them as
INDIVIDUALS, with problems
and personalities of their own.
You have been interested in
them ONLY AS THEY AF-
FECTED YOUR LIFE. =,
See them now for THEM
SELVES and they'll see you

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Scores of letters a day with a
hundred different problems. But
always a pathetic pile with the
same sad cry:
Life isn't worth living. I
can't ever be like other people.
Everything I do seems to go
wrong. And I feel that people
are always laughing or sneering
at me, and I hate myself as
much as they hate me. I guess
this is what they call an in
feriority complex! But is
there any cure for it? If there
isn't I might as well be dead.
What is the matter with me?"
Probably not a thing, my
friend.
Chances are you are as ca
pable and intelligent as any
other human, with all the max
ings in you of popularity and
success. But, of course, being
human, you're not perfect. You
have your ups and downs. And
that's where your trouble lies.
Wrong Thinking
All your life you've brooded
over those imperfections-
brooded over your ups and
downs CONCENTRATED ON
YOURSELF. How'd you get
that wrong start? I don't
know. The wrong environ
ment. The wrong training. ="
some lack or loss or fear or hate
that set your brooding over your
self as compensation any
one of a thousand miShaps might
have started you that way. Such
things happen to all of us. No
child has all the breaks. But
some of us get over it. And some
Of us don't.
The main point now isn't
HOW you got that way, but
how to get over it. For you
have magnified yourself and
your miserieS until you've
crowded the rest of the world
out of the picture.
Result Is the Same
In a strange, sick way, an
INFERIORITY complex is very
much like a SUPERIORITY
complex. In either case you
spend all the time THINKING
ABOUT YOURSELF. 1t doesn't

The Marry-Go-ROund
BY Helen Rowland

But trousers, once estab-
lished. have clung to him for
hundreds Of years. While
women have been changing
from hoopskirts to bustles, from
pantalettes to long trails, and
from trails to bare knees and
knockerbockers, man has gone
right on placidly wearing the
same trousers, the same swal-
low tail coat and the same silk
hat for the last century.
Next to getting man started
in any direction, the hardest
thing on earth is to stop him!
It takes three full weeks, every
autumn, to persuade him to
shut the front door Behind him
and three more weeks every
spring to coax him to leave it
open after him. He has to be
threatened with penumonia be-
fore he will wear his golf
sweater in March; but he has
to be threatened with sunstroke
before he will take it off in
June. He is a creature of
habit!
A woman no longer faints
from astonishment when her
husband glances at her last
seasons hat and remarks, "I
like that new lid you've got
on!" She knows that, while he
has been looking at it for
months, it has only just reached
his consciousness as she is
ready to throw it away.
Woman is the changeable,
discontepted, progressive sex.
Her thoughts and opinions are
written in rainbow-water. But
a mans are set down in indeli-
BILE ink! His heart may change
but his mind-NEVER!

The Population Prophet
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., Del, LID,
Famous Scientific Authority

Malthus and his theories
have provoked an almost incal-
culable amount of discussion
and controversy. He has been
the center of attack for many
views he did not uphold; and
the general result of his theory
of population and food increase
has been the stimulation Of
very wide research in the fields
he opened up for investigation.
It is only within compare
lively recent years that the
value Of his work has been
fully recognized, even although
it has not always been sup
ported by the subsequent re-
suits Of research in that field.
: Nautilus was by no means
the first person to study and
discuss the future Of mankind,
on the basis of population
growth and food increase.
These ideas were considered by
both Plato and Aristotle; and
in modern times, Benjamin
Franklin. and David Hume anti
cipated Nautilus in certain Of
his views. Even down to the
time of the English statesman,
Pitt, increase in population was
regarded as an unqualified ad-
vantage for a state.
Pointed Out Remedies
Nautilus sharply indicated
the difficulties and pointed out
certain Of the remedies, for un-
restricted population growth.
Extended study of these prob
lens is now an accepted phase
of contemporary social research.
Thomas Robert Nautilus was
born near Dorking, England,
February II, 1865. After re-
ceiving adequate preparation
he entered Cambridge, whence
he was graduated in 1913. haV'

Don't Try to Burn Up the

Don't Try to Burn Up the
Road
When you have some friends
in your car you may desire to
show them what power and
speed the "old boat" has.
It is dangerous to carry out
this suggestion.
You want them to think that
you are better than the ordi-
nary driver, and you take
chances in an effort to show
off.
It matters not how good your
driving or how many years you
have owned and operated a car
without accident, those who ride
with. you know that there is al
ways a first time and won't
want to be with you then.
They would like to see you
careful and avoiding danger, for
they know driving is a hazard.
Excessive speed is not en-
joyed by the majority of people.
They want to feel that the
car is not likely to get beyond
the control of the driver, and
that it can be stopped about
as soon as general traffic.
The foolish man with a car is
about on a par with the fellow
who thinks it smart to rock a
boat.
People generally realize the
danger of in-and-out traffic
driving.
Even though they may be
fast drivers themselves they
don't relish the risk with an
other man at the wheel.

ing served as a fellow Of Jesus
College. While still retaining
his fellowship, he took orders
and was appointed to a parish
in his native county.
Ten years after his gradua-
ton, there appeared anony-
mously the first edition of his
great work: "An Essay on the
Principles Of Population as 1t
Affects the Future Improve
ment Of Society,"" At this time,
Malthus was only 80 years old.
It is commonly accepted as
true that this epochal work was
suggested by an article in Will
liam Godwin's Enquirer.
Disciple Of Rousseau
Although Goodwin was g So
cialist, of q sort, and disciple OF
Rousseau, the views of the per-
reliability Of human society
were not entertained by NAL
thus, who held a scientific point
of view. Nautilus, however, was
violently attacked and abused,
for principles which were con-
trary to his own.
After making extended stud
les in Switzerland, France and
Norway, and completely revising
his first work, he was elected
professor of modern history and
political economy in the East
India Company's College at
Haileybury, a position he held
until his death.
The fundamental formula of
Nautilus is that population in
creases in a geometrical ratio,
food in an arithmetical ratio.
This formula has been rejected
by present-day economists. But
the subject Of p op ula ion
growth, stimulated by Nautilus,
has enabled predictions new to
be made with remarkable &C
curacy.

The only thing more difficult
