Your Health

EVERYBODY knows that pupils occasionally
~ annoying to their teachers, but few people
have given thought to the ways in which teachers
may annoy their pupils
1t occurred to professor at North Carolina State
College to study the annoying habits of college pro-
fesSorS and he recently has made available his re-
suits
One hundred tWenty-three students were asked to
observe their teachers particularly for manneriSms
and habits that annoying. They asked to
note such tricks froWning twisting the mouth,
twddling the fingers, pulling the ears and nose,
scratching the head.
They were asked to watch the teacher as to neat
ness and color of his dress They were asked to see
whether they had any expressions of speech which
were annoying.
TINE pupils reported that rambling in lectures was
Il the most annoying habit of the professor but
right after that came twisting the mouth into odd
shapes and froWning. Then came playing with OBJ
jects on the desk pulling the ears nose and lips, and
keeping hands in pockets.
About midway in the list came pet expressions
and scratching the head.
1t is obvious that students are easily ANNOYED by
gestures and abortve movements which have nothing
to do with what the teacher is saying The salesman
in business will find that the tricks frequently
annoy prospective customers
Students collected number of pet expressions of
the professors which indicate how easily it is for all

approaching when there is nothing
left to develop.
Europe is faced with a decision
of either agreeing to stop stealing
slices of the other continents for
empire purposes and agree merely
to the exchange of goods and So
cial thoughts with the other terri
tories, or it must mutually agree
upon division of all the CONT
nents of the world, live up to the
agreements and not covet the
territory belonging to next door
neighbors.
The first it won't or can not do,
because of the industrial machine
built up in the last hundred years.
The second it won't do because
nobody trusts anybody else.
If the major powers can not
agree not to slaughter one another
any more when an argument
arises, but to sit down and talk it
over and let jury of nations de-
liver the answer, how much less
likely are they to be able to agree
to a division of empire and then
abide by the agreements which are
reached?
So it is clear as crystal that the
troubles of Europe are not Euro
pean-but are to be found in the
Near East and the Far East. The
present economy of the world die
tates that the call for empire shall
grow more and more intense, and
Abyssinia is the newest expression
of this intensity.

succession of wars, depreSsions
and general lowering of the scale
of civilized living.
TIME world has always been at
l. odds over Africa and Asia.
And always have France and Eng
land been ranged on one side, and
Germany and Italy on the other.
Yet the expressions of their
rivalry have taken concrete form
in Europe. Europe has been the
battle-ground. But the causes have
been Africa and Asia.
They were the causes of the
World War, as we have shown.
The Treaty of Versailles and the
regrouping of the map of Europe
at the close Of the World War
did not touch these fundamentals
at all.
1t merely changed the battlefield
map and did, to a certain extent,
aggravate the situation. Austria,
without any commercial support
or means of self-support other
than that given her by the great
powers, is not in a healthy condi-
ton.
The presence of a strip of land
called the Polish Corridor is equal
ly impossible to maintain. A
Germany, cut off entirely from
self support, is bound to explode.
But the fact is not changed that
the colonial situation remains just
the same today as in 1914.

empire is serious enough. But an
Italo-German combine to break
the British hold on Africa would
mean certain war.
TT may be fear of this or even
l. pre-knowledge that such an
understanding does exist be-
tween Berlin and Rome which &C
counts for Britain's belligerent at
titude.
1t may be also this understand
ing which has lent such seeming
outward confidence to MusSollnl;
to the tenor of his defiant re-
marks which led him to shout at
Great Britain in chilling manner:
Sanctions mean Warl"
Few nations would so defy Great
Britain, unless they were well sat-
isfied that they had their rear
guard we'll covered.
And so ambition, with all its at
tendant greed has fastened its
tentacles upon this modern would
be julius Caesar.
When ambition suddenly seizes
a world leader, it is a disease
which, if it is to be furthered by
blood and bullets, leads only along
the path Of destruction.
1t can lead nowhere else in this
modern day. True, it did not al

the world was not so thickly pop
ulated and civilization not so in
tense nor the economy of the uni
verse so maddeningly intertwined
and intricate.

One is Italy; one is Germany

Nothing long can prevent Japan
from taking what she wants in

still there. Persia is still indie
pendent. All just in the same
position as they were in 1914.
And the nations which could
not agree on the division of spoils
then, who could not agree as to
who should control these last out

nive bitterly over the very same
places.
THUS the signs which pointed
u through the international

pointed in the same direction
from 1919 to 1885.
The British, the French, the
