JESTER WELL PAID
FOR MAKING MIRTH

The business of making the public
laugh has reached large proportions.
This modern career offers opportu.
nifty to gain substantial fortunes BY
those who know what the masses will
consider funny. The salaries of
broadcasting humorists now far ex-
coed those of grand opera stars, and
they not only receive big pay them
selves, but substantial sums are paid
to their collaborating writer's. There
Is the offsetting disadvantage that
joke which could be used for months
in play is good for only one radio
performance.
These modern jokesmiths are seri-
GUS students Of the psychology Of
laughter, who scientifically go about
the business Of tickling the visibility
OF their audiences. The gagmap
knows that incongruity is a great
source of mirth. A chicken in
barnyard is seldom funny, but If it
enters the dining room during for.
NAL banquet it causes shrieks Of
laughter. Another source of humor
Is found in the feeling of superior
tty that people experience when they
anticipate joke before it is actually
sprung. Then there is humor which
consists of narrow escape from
harm or tragedy. Being run over, or
falling and breaking a leg. does not
make people laugh, but close shave
from which the victim energies with
his dignity ruffled is often funny. All
these things the gagman knows and
manipulates in making his comedy.
The old idea that merriment is
triaing and unworthy of serious men
has given way to the knowledge that
a sense of humor may often enable
man to rise above his troubles.
"Tell me what you laugh at and I'll
tell you your mental age" said Pro-
lessor Gaum, Of Rutgers college. A
sense of humor is sense of proper.
ton. Laughter at ones self is test
Of character. The gagman does not
often dare to use this reputed type
OF humor and turn the laugh on his
audience, as Aristophanes did, but
his strides have taken him far from
the old slapstick comedy, so time
may even carry him into this range
of drollery.

 Howard Worth was responsible for the program of Christian Ed- ucation at Camp during the sum- mer. Regular daily emphasis on worth while ethical and moral sub jects was carefully planned in a series of Morning Thought" pro- grams. Campers and leaders had charge of Grace" at meals. Clos ing services at the campfire and well planned studies of prayers for the individual campers in their tents were a part of their respon- sibility.
 The Chapel programs on Sunday morning were the most successful that camp had ever experienced. The old plan of sermon was dis carded entirely and the leader for the morning conducted a question period each Sunday. Boys asked questions without hearing any pre- liminary address.
