Considering the thankless ma

Etonishig to note how many of us
seem to be devoted to it.
1t must be that we are resigned

have read that if the Waterman

We heard sermon last Sunday

out of the barrel of good ones.
The speaker was eloquent in
the praise of want" In the face
OF the tragic penalty We are pay

he considered that want had been
a means of grace, an act of God,
and a blessing to many.
Now it mSy be that a man can
live so abominably that present

sue his evil course any longer; but
one can hardly consider his disease
as blessing. Rather it is the
evil result of an evil life. And
that is exactly what want is. And
Just as it so often happens that a
man may live evilly and his inno-

BY }. A. BouMAN


BERLIN, May 4.-Learned
German professors, vying with
each. other to find scientific basis
for the nazi idea that civilization
had its roots in nordie soil, are
tracing ancient cultures to Ger
manic origins.
Time-honored theories are be
ing thrown overheard. The old
belief that mankind spread out
ward from Asia has been dis
carded by many of them as q
fable.
Instead, Prof. Carl Schurch-
hardt, noted Berlin archaeologist,
claims it was the Germanic mi
grations from northern Europe
that founded the Mycenaean cul-
ture in ancient Greece as far back
as 1000 B. c.
In the scientific periodical For

Schuchhardt used a wealth Of de-
tail to support his theory.
He declared that the old Acha-
ians built square houses similar to
those of the northern Germans.
The Greek besiegers of Troy used
much the same fighting methods
as did these ancient Germans and
Homer's conception Of the Realm
of Shades is purely nordic, he
claimed.
Heather Germans Lauded
The virtues Of the heather Ger
mans are frequently held up to
emulation.
That they were by no means
barbarians, but highly civilized
people even according to the new
est ideas, is claimed by Prof. GUS
tav Nickel.
"They were," he writes, "un-
spoiled by delusions about all men
being equal, and free from false
notions about materialism and
idealism.
"The leadership principle with
them was the dominant feature,

console herself in a short time. Her

to speak to men, and her full red lips
marked her as a girl whose chief
interest was men.
In a way she could feel sorry for
pompous little DR.. Gillespie, know
ing how his soul must long for the
quick success that a rich father-in-
law and a connection with the Alien
hof family would give him. There was
an immense difference between start
ing his professional life poor and un-
known, with an equally poor nurse
as his wife, and beginning with the
Altenhof backing. He was in di-
lemma. He would not give up Miss
Altenhof, and he was having the devil
of time getting rid of Cookie. The
whole thing was a disgusting mess,
and Mazda hoped she would hear no
more of it.

Miss Mazda, but he said he would

Bert must have told him she was
in town, after all. She had missed
him since she had been at home,
and if it were not for her reluctance
to have him find out she was Stan
ley's sister she would bless Bert for
her disregard of orders.

ill-advised remark might reveal what
she knew her mother was thinking,
Mazda soon suggested walk.

mot a bad loking girl, Is she?
She has poise and she uses a weird
makeup sometimes, but I can tone
her down later" said Stanley COM
placently.
"She seemed to like you. She nearly
fell on your neck"
Stanley's voice was doubtful. That's
her line. I can't figure out just
where I stand with her, to tell the
truth"
The uncertainty did not seem to
depress Stanley, for, after dropping
Mazda at home, he went blithely on
his way. Nothing bothered him, un-
less he was forced to look at his
dwindling bank balance.
That afternoon she was in the gar
den digging Gamma roots when a ia
miliar car stopped at the gate and
the neat figure Of DR.. Gillespie came
up the walk.
"I happened to be driving out this
way" he explained, "and I thought
I would drop in and see if you were
home"
MAZDA brushed the dirt from her
hands as well as she could and stood
up to greet him.
How did you know where to find
me?" she asked.
"They have your address In the
training school Office" he replied.
IF you will come into the house.
I'll wash my hands and give you
cup of tea"
Couldn't we sit down on this
bench, instead? I can only stay a
few minutes. AS a matter Of fact,
there is something I want to talk to
you about"
She couldn't imagine why DR.. Gil
lespie wanted to talk to her so ur-
gently that he made a trip to her
home while she was on vacation, but
she led the way to the bench and
waited politely for him to begin.
He was embarrassed or unsure of
himself, thought MAZDA, because his
manner took on the stiffness and

quite accidentally. You know have
recently become engaged to Miss Al

Mazda murmured congratulations.
Thank you. Yes, she is a fine
girl, but, unfortunately" he smirked
bit, rather jealous. Now, I can
not afford to run the risk of having
anything interfere with this marriage,
so I have promised not to go out with
any other girl-not, Of course, that I
wish to-"
'cI don't see. what all of this has to
do with me-" said Mazda shortly.
Weren't you out in Pryde's car on
the Westfeld road last week."
Evening star., 1934-08-29

80 you did see us, then"
DR.. Gillespie had the grace to flush.
'I was attempting to finish up a
matter of business with Miss Cook.
The awkward thing is, Miss Altenhof
has received an anonymous letter
about me, and so I am anxious that
she does not hear-it was purely
business matter, but these things are
often misunderstood.
He was floundering more and more,
until Mazda grew so irritated that she
said harshly: You want me not to
tell her that I saw you, I suppose.
Don't worry. What you and Miss
Cook do is of no interest to me-"
He was almost incoherent when
she finally closed the gate on him.
'Horrid little wretch" she thought.
He has evidently been heavily in
volved with Cookie, had probably
promised to marry her when he was
in practice and she was out of train
ing; and then, finding the wealth of
Miss Altenhof dangling within his
reach, he had promptly got himself
engaged to her and was having a
harder time than he had anticipated
in Squaring the indignant Cookie.
Mazda felt sorry for the girl, al
though when she remembered the
looks she had bent on Johnnie Casey
and her soft, insinuating ways with

she would not have to protract the

Her exit would have been more

not turned into the driveway at that
moment and called affably, "Yoo-hoo

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLs.
Pessimism.

THE natural pessimist lives pre-
eminently on what he sees. hears,
smells tastes and touches. In other
words. he gets his whole outlook on
life through the five senses. And, of
course. values everything in life &C.
cOrdingly.
Now any sense is easily jaded.
Every one tires Of seeing the same
landscape. eating the same food, hear
ing the same music. meeting the same
people, doing the same work. Psy-
biologists call this sensory fatigue.
The pessimist very soon tires OF
his surroundings, because he knows
1t only in terms of sensations. He
is short on that mental trait called
imagination. He fails to see variety
in the midst of the commonplace He
becomes uneasy in his customary sur
roundings, longs for q new sensation.
jumps from place to place. tries one
Job, then another, readily changes old
friends for new.
In the course of time he completes
the round of ordinary attachments.
Everything seems to hold mere tenn
pOrary value. AS middle age ap-
proaches, living begins to have a
gloomy prospect. Nothing seems
worth while; ambitions are easily side
tracked The pessimist feels that he
knows everything, since he has ex-
perienced everything. He withdraws
from society because people seem dull
and stupid. He makes no friends,
wants none. He takes refuge In his
own sensations, which are usually re-
Prospective in nature, and introspec-
tive in scope.
