CASH AND THE BRAINS
OF THE COUNTRY
BY JEAN NEWTON

MOT long ago two men in Pitts
l burgh insured their brains for
six million dollars. And some one
remarked that with brain insurance
becoming more and more common,
the real wealth of the country could
soon be estimated by consulting GER
tain tables of the insurance COM
panies.
But would the real wealth Of the
country's brains ever be so esti-
mated?
The people who insure their
brains would be those who are cash
ing in on their brains. For to in
sure something you have to be atie
TO pay premiums.
And it is a question of particular
interest to women, to what extent
the brains of the country have cash
returns to prove their existence.
Among women, certainly, the per-
centage would be very small. For

into the bah for tremendous dis
tances. Most of the average golf
ers do not possess both suppleness
and strength here and for these
players the springy steel shaft in a
measure offsets their deficiency. In
this way they are able to get more
distance to their shots without the
shock that the thicker, less pliable
shaft would necessarily give. Sup
plementing this springy shaft with
a deep. heavy-faced club will give a
feeling of life to the club that will
undoubtedly result in better play
for the average player. Swung

erful golfer whose wrists are not

TRUTH TELLING
By ANGELO PATRI

John ThomasT
I'm not telling lies in school.
When she asked me did / hand in
my homework l said Yes. l knew
l could have it on her desk by noon
and l would have only we had an
extra assembly and that cut out
study hour and so she said l told a
lie. Maybe | did, but it wasn't any
thing to make such a fuss about.
III bet she tells more than do if
it comes down to it,"
"Now, John Thomas, don't begin
putting blame on other people be-
cause you're caught in the wrong.
We have always taught you to tell
the truth, haven't we?"
John Thomas mumbled something
that might be taken for assent by
one anxious TO have it so.
'Then why don't you stick to our
teaching? Why can't you be truth
full about a little thing like home
work?"
Its no little thing when you have
to stay In after hours and write
! something a thousand times. Makes.
me sick. Does she tell the truth all
the time? I'll say she doesn't. No
body does"
II told you, John Thomas, that
1t won't help any for you to put
blame upon other people for your
mistakes. You've got to own them
and pay for them"
well, l did. / had to stay after
school and write for an hour and
then / had to go to the Office and
listen to lecture about telling the
truth and then came home and had
to listen to another. Makes me
sick. AS if everybody told the truth
but me.
why Ma, you couldn't get along
for a day if you told the truth as
you want me to. Doctor Mullins
told Aunt Katie that she would be
all right in a day or so when he
knew she was going to die"
That's enough of such talk, John
Thomas. The minute any of those
people slipped off the truth stand
ard you lost respect for them. You
stick to the truth no matter what
anybody says and you will be better
off. Every time you tell lie some
body knows you are afraid
'1m not afraid. What do carer"
"You cared so much that you told
lie about nothing at ALL"
Right then John Thomas looked
as though new idea had come to,
him. If good example follows the
precept there is fair chance Of his:

PROJECTED EMOTIONS

.CROWN-UP people are too much
~ given to creating children with
emotions they do not have. This
wears them out and does the chill
dren no good. A mother met me

cheeks

must change his marks. 1t will
break his heart to find that he only
got an eighty when he expected to

did you get them before he did?"

his mark and she gave it to me. z

Marks cannot be changed. If they
can they are useless. | explained
this to the weeping mother. Your

smiling. He had none of the emo
tions his mother had saddled upon
him. 1t was her own that she was
projecting toward her boy, suffering
when no suffering was necessary.
People do that often. Youth and
childhood, as well, are not SO stiff
in their emotional joints as you are.
They can adopt and adjust and be-
gin anew when you couldn't. Their
emotions have not the roots yours
have as a general thing. Such
wounds as they receive are easier
healed than your own. Don't accent
the emotions you feel.
Haven't you seen a happy child
begin to cry after one look at its
mothers face? Haven't you seen
cheerful child become suddenly
downcast and even sullen after a
glance at his mothers countenance?
I have. Emotions are easily trans
ferred to children. They have enough
of their own without any of yours.

ed from your own overstimulated
moods. Why not let the children
have their emotions first hand? They
get along better with them if you do.

If you think I am raising only the

So many Of our American universities

they have been occupied in work which

indeed, would he look much like Nassau

it will come at last to be expressed
where ancient ideals got themselves ex-,
pressed-in the buildings which house
us. Or If this does not happen, the
reason will be that the architecture Of
older generations Is too strong for US,
their discarded ideals stronger than our
new ones.
The new presidents, then, with their
personal achievements and their force

toward a new architecture. AS the
