rial power, to rule for the national
good. Revolutions and royal coups
d'etat In the Balkans are traditionally
ephemeral. Bulgaria Is particularly
fertile soil for the plottings and violent
political eruptions indigenous to the
lands of the Near East. The Mace
donian element Is an enduring source
of domestic unrest and the Bulgars'
feud with the Greeks perpetually be-
clouds the international horizon. II
was only q few weeks ago, at the time
of the venizelist revolution, that
Bulgar military concentration in the
region of Thrace threatened renewal
of Bulgarian Grecian conflict.
King Boris reveals himself as q

exercise unlimited power. How long

THIS AND. THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL..

1t. and even to attempt a step Of .
certain length.
X X n
All this is good advice, In certain
situations, and for definite purposes.
We are thinking, however, of all
the men and women who desire to
walk simply for the constitutional
effects or just to get somewhere.
Both are legitimate aims, and fortu-
nately may be combined.
An effort to take too long q stride
will tire such a walker long before
shorter, more effortless, steps.
The short stride enables the walker
to move faster, with far less effort.
Such a gait need not be tripping,
in any sense, nor patterned after the
mincing walk Of the lady in the split
skirt, which, by the way, is coming
in again. Saw one the other day.
This step must be adjusted to the
ordinary habits of the walker. A
stride an inch or two longer than
necessary entails Just 50 much extra
effort which gives no recompense.
If the proper length Of step is
achieved, one positively floats along,
gets to the destination quicker and
without particularly raising the res
piration or increasing the circulation.
There are many times one does not
care to grow warm in walking. If.
however, increased circulation is
sought, it may be secured by increas-
ing the rate Of stepping, not the
length of the stride
Al NJ
paratively short step becomes an easy
one for any sort of walking desired.
The best state of mind, during
walk, is as blank as possible.
Perhaps most of us ought to be
able to attain this very easily!
Nevertheless there are many per-
sons who worry themselves with every
step they take, by a refusal to lay
aside the cares Of the day, when what
they need most is to stop thinking,
at least for the duration Of the walk.
Worry, Of course, Is thinking OF a
sort.
No matter how a walker adjusts his
step to fit his personality, he will be
wr0nging himself to a certain extent
unless he stops thinking, as such.
Not only is the average line Of
thoughts enough to take ones mind
of trafiic danger, where 1t ought to
he, while walking, but it is more
than enough to cause the pedestrian
to miss the points Of interest along
the route
There are always points Of in
terest, no matter where one goes.
They will differ, of course, depend
ing upon which part of the city one
is in, but in the main every place has
points Of interest. The comprehension
OF these depends mainly upon the
walkers knowledge, his own interests,
and his state of mind.
He can worry about home or Office
any time, but only here, at this great
tree, can he see an authentic oak
which the Indian chiefs Of the Po-
tomac saw long ago.
How silly, in the face Of this giant,
q petty worry!
Commonplace" Is terrible word.
There is nothing really common
place, after all, except minds.
Shorten the step, walk easily, and
think about as little as feasible. Then
the thousand and one commonplace
things will amount to something.

Shakespeare.

Visitors to the exhibition hall of
the Folger Library find on display
there copies of Shakespeare's works
which once were the property Of men
and women of extraordinary distinc-
ton. The sponsor Of the great and
beautiful memorial to the poet made
it q principal objective to collect
association" volumes of his plays
books inscribed and annotated by
eminent admirers of the bard. And
the success of Mr.. Folger's effort Is
demonstrated by a list Of the names
represented in that special depart
ment Of the library catalogue.
Included among the treasures shown
are editions formerly owned by Louis

Students Anti-War Strikes
Dicussed With Mild Interest

patching to Old World rulers, Uncle
Sam can hardly be blamed for wanting
no partnership in their quarrels or for
his resolution to look rather tardily to
his own interests"
Approval of the college students in
terest in public affairs is given by the
Buffalo Evening News. The Miami
Fla.) Herald, in reply to declarations
for fighting only in defense Of homes,
declares that all wars ostensibly are
fought for that purpose. The Long
Beach (Calif) Press-Telegram AYERS
that "few will quarrel with any con-
scientious effort to encourage peace"
and the Topeka (Kans.) Daily Capital
remarks that while the event may
not have important influence In the
movement for world peace, it does no
harm" The Wichita (Kans.) Eagle
predicts ultimate loss of ingenious
liberalism" and the Columbus (Ohio)
Dispatch charges that "the pacifst
element is more noisy than numerous"
War may be forced upon America,
whether it wants it or not" thinks
0iAO AeCAo NANC'J 1u1CbtC, d1l0 JllC
Kalamazoo Gazette argues, "The
psychology of peace and the psychol-
ogy of war are by no means identical.
It is one thing to take a pacifist
pledge in peacetime and quite another
thing to remember and keep that
pledge when ones homeland Is actu-
ally endangered. The spirit Of war is
infectious and nowhere is its effect
stronger than with youth"
"The students made themselves
mildly ridiculous" In the Judgment of
the Lynchburg (va.) Advance. which
concludes, "The interest of the stu
dents in peace is worthy and UNDER
standable. No doubt the sentiment Is
fairly general throughout the land,
cherished by every section of the popu-
lation. However, it Is doubtful If the
spirit Of pacifism Is more predominant
In college students than 1t is In huck-
sters, tobacco farmers or fishermen.
But there is no sense In becoming
militant about ones longing for peace.
Especially while peace prevails on all
sides. The truth Of the matter is
that If there should develop q situa-
tion which could so affect public opin-
ion as to force this country into war,
all this peace talk would be quickly
forgotten"

Laboratory and Study.

on scientific and technical policies
through three advisory councils"
Similar stress, DIR. Compton says, is
being placed upon scientific and
engineering research in Italy, Ger
many and Japan. while only America,
among the firSt-claSs powers, has
reduced her scientific program in re-
sponse to the depression.
Every disease of the body has its
mental side, DIR. William A. White,
superintendent of st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital, told the New York Academy of
Medicine in the first of the 1885 Sal
mon memorial lectures.
I'VE have been talking for some
years about the organism as a whole"
he said, "but for the most part this
has been a lip service, for we have
been trained In our thinking for gen.
erations to consider the organism as
a mosaic Of parts, of separate organs
and their several functions. It will
take probably many years before the
concept of organism whole can
be adequately utilized. We have lit
tie conception, except in the most
general sort Of way, Of the part that
the several organs play in the final,
total picture represented by the ten
denotes and directions of the organ
ism -as-a-whole."
Perhaps no concept Of present-day
psychiatry, DR.. White told the New
York Academy, is SO all-inclusive as
that of repression, where the individual
tends to 60 back to earlier and earlier
levels of behavior. 1t is a common
phenomenon in some forms of mental
disease.
This concept" he said, "ties togeth-
er our whole idea of what might be
called the march of life from the past
into the present and on into the fu-
ture. The fundamental and organic
continuum Of the living organism Is
that considered as a process Of un-
foldment of differentiation, which is
reversed when repression sets in. We
find ourselves long distance in ad-
vance of the old idea of disease as
concrete entity invading the organism
like pathogenic micro-organism.
1T is on the basis Of this mechanism
of repression that we can understand
such q process as defusion, in which
we see instinctual tendencies, which
previously had been amalgamated and
integrated for common ends, falling
apart. This highly complex, co-ordi-
mated and integrated pattern Of the
personality is giving way under the
influence of stresses and falling apart
in accordance with the pattern Of its
structure.
Expressed from the point Of view
of the sense of reality, we might say
that the patient loses the sharpness of
distinction with which he has been
able hitherto to separate himself from
the rest of the world. Withdrawal from
reality, in this sense, Is q withdrawal
from contact at higher levels, which
are the most recently developed and
most highly integrated, and q return
to philogenetically older and more
diffuse form Of contact"
