Everyday Psychology

Basis of Society.

What makes society possible? Why
are we organized into bodies called po-
litical parties. religious denominations,
lodges, philanthropic groups, and so on,
now running into the thousands?
One mans answer is about as good as
another's. Here I venture one theory
that seems to have something to it
Fear will cover the case pretty we'll
Fear has thousands of practical appli-
cations: a sense OF insecurity in the ab-
sence of others, feeling of personal
inadequacy in the attainment of re-
nown, wealth. health, pleasure, etc.
You hear noises all over the house
when the rest of the family has gone
to the movies or on vacation Light
ming loses its terror when your house
party happens to come on a stormy
night.
Create a group and hold it together
and you will partly eliminate fear
which has sometimes been called the
handspring of the mind.

in protecting my own health and the
health of my family.
For instance, do We run any risk
in taking occasional meals in a
restaurant to which this known typnoid
carrier has access? Is there any par
ticular precaution We can take in case
we are thrown into Involuntary con-
tact with the carrier?"
So much for the known carrier.
Then, toe, there are probably many
carriers who are not as yet detected.
Any one who has once had typhoid
fever may continue to give off the
typhoid bacilli for many years after
ward, although himself fully recovered
from the Illness It seems that in
small share of cases the germs lodge
permanently in some focus of infec-
tion such as the gall-sac, and are
given of constantly or intermittently
thru the bile duct and the intestine.
If the correspondent gives an &C
curate description of the case, it seems
obvious that the State and municipal
health authorities are negligent IN
protecting the public from the risk OF
infection from this carrier
Under the circumstances probably
the safest course for the correspondent
and her family is immunization OF all
the members of the family against
typhoid, by the family physician.

w Smith regards his recon-
Citation with Franklin D. Roose-
welt as historic event"
In discussing his now-famouS
chat with the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee in the mansion
at Albany after months of es-
arrangement, Al has displayed the
perspective of a historian, who
writes as well as makes history.
He takes the actors rich delight
in the drama of which he is a
principal.
The inside story of how the two
made up, and of the rapproche-
ment between Smith and Jack
Garner. vice-presidential nominee,
may be the most exciting and
significant of the 1882 campaign.
Others will regard it as his
toric," if it means millions of
votes to Roosevelt, as predicted,
and provides Democratic victory
after twelve years of exile from
the White House.

He and Smith met at the Al

Al was reported to have called

they shook hands from the

But the ice seemed to form
again.
At Newark, Al barely men,
toned the national ticket, as he
threw panic into Democrats with
his vivid recoIlections of the

Then, on the train trip to Bos
