THOSE TWO MEN AGAIN
(From the Rotary Magazine)

(From the Rotary Magazine)
The optimist and the pessimist, for
all their anonymity, get together fire.
quently-in anecdotes. The manag-
ing director of the stock exchange of
Stockholm, Sweden, put them side by
side recently in a story he credits to
the English. "The optimist," he said,
"sees light where there isn't any,
and the pessimist comes along and
blows it out"
William Lyon Phelps, distinguished
book critic, knows the strange pair,
too. The pessimist, he explains, looks
at bottle of whatever you please and
walls, 20, woe, it's half gone" The
optimist, eying the same container,
exults, "Great, it's still half FULL"
Humorist Billy Van has been the
"sparkplug" at many sales meeting.
Sometimes, in such groups, he holds
up large map of the United States.
On it, somewhere, is a black patch,
small as a thumb nail. Snow, gentle
men," he asks, "what do you see on
the map?" Almost to a man the ans
wer is, ga black spot" But he counts
the day saved when one or two of the
statesmen reply instead, ga lot of clean
white territory which is wide open for
our product"
Currently popular and worth wide
audience is the story, its origin I'M
known, about two little girls who were
frisking about in a strange garden.
Soon one of them ran to her mother
and said, "This gardens a bad place,
Mother. I've been all around and
every rosebush has sharp, long thorns
on it."
Presently her small sister came
skipping up the path and cried,
"Mother, 1 love this place. I've been
all around and every thorn tree has
such pretty roses growing on it."
To try to add anything to these
parallels would be to risk seeming
pompous-so these lines shall leave
the reader-perhaps where they found
him-picking as pleasant a path as
possible between indefensible opti
mism and facilitating pessimism.

Psychologists Say Need
For Pain Common Trait

Citing the story of the little Negro
boy who said he liked to have his
shins kicked because it felt so good
when it stopped, DR.. Tracy ]. Put
nam considers pain in its psychology
ic and physiologic aspects in an ar
ticle entitled PAIN" in Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.
The need for pain is a common
human trait. Psychologists point out
that it has three main sources, prob
ably not entirely distinct. One is
that pain and pleasure are so close
ly mingled that one may be con-
fused with the other, or they may
even be indistinguishable.
The second source of a need for
pain is penance for misdeeds, real
or fancied. A feeling of guilt or
anxiety may be one of the heaviest
burdens that life can infict, and
sometimes physical anguish is felt
to mitigate it.
Finally, one person may use his
own pain, consciously or uncon-
sciously, to infict remorse on or ex-
act sympathy from another. AS
blindness or deformity is an asset to
some beggars, so may suffering be
pursued as a livelihood or an ad-
junct to one or as a means of power.
1t is obvious to everyone, certain
ly to every doctor, that there are
great differences between individu-
ais in their susceptibility to pain.
One man will complain more bitter
ly of stone in his shoe than anoth-
er will of a narrowing physical ex-
perience.
The capacity to endure pain also
varies with attendant circum-
stances. The soldier in battle or
the football player in scrimmage
may be unaware of serious injury,
while the same man may dread to
have tooth filed. 1t is also posi-
BILE for some persons to train them
selves not to notice pain.
From biologic point of view,
pain is essential to the conduct of
the world as we know it. It is
doubtful whether any species of ami
NAL could long survive unless each
of its members was equipped with a
mechanism to give a signal suffi-
GENTLY distressing to mobilize all
reserves to remove or escape from
any danger threatening the integrity
of the body.

Senator Returns

Senator and Mrs. James z. Byrnes
have returned to their apartment at

Senator to the coast by a few days
and visited the Golden Gate Exposi-

Senator. who addressed the Ameri-
can Bar Association at its annual
convention at San Francisco.
Evening star., 1939-07-23

two OF three weeks before leaving the country
was her only opportunity to see the Golden
Gate Exposition. The Minister had not seen
that fair, although he has been more than
once to the New York Worlds Pair So
they set OIL for California a fortnight ago
and have been in San Francisco seeing the
fair Oh Treasure Island and now are visiting
Los Angeles and Hollywood
The very brief time between their re-
turn from the West and their departure for
Italy where the Minister has been trans
ferred to Rome, will give little opportunity
for their many friends and admirers to en-
tertain them. The mid summer is not the
best time to entertain in Washington not
only from the standpoint OF temperature but
the scores of residents who are away for the
summer make it almost impossible to have
a party of any size or Importance. And
remained in town much
longer this year than others because of the
