telhgence tests than do those of the
laboring classes. Thus it would be
expected that a small but real re-
lationship between month of birth
and average level Of intelligence
would appear in an unsolicited
population. not because some
months or seasons are more favor
able for the development of intel
hgence, but merely because those
seasons include an excess proper

intellectual classes.

New Religion and New Ideal
Our Need, Psychologists Told
President of Psychological Association
AnoIyzes History Before Group

"All were ready" he said, "for the
appearance of strong men-farher
surrogates. The myth Of the heroic
man came into its own"
But, Prof. Tolman stressed, this
ideal has fundamental weaknesses
just as did the three which preceded
it. The second generation In the
Nazi and Fascist states will have
been adopted into the elite and
sooner or later-just as happened
in the ideal of the religious man
will come to think not in terms OF
the group but In terms solely Of
their primary selves and Of their
narrow class. =
This may leave man without any
ideal, he said, and result in new dark
ages. The only escape. DR.. Tolman
stressed. seems to be in setting up
the ideal of the psychological man, y
In whom all four major sets OF
human wants would be harmonious
ly satisfied. These he classified as
the want of physical comfort, of
prestige and respect, of self sacri-
nee, and of identification with some
thing greater than self.
Humanity vs.. Nature.
I'VE must not" he said, preach
Americans against Germans, against
Europeans, but all humanity against
disease, misery and ignorance,
against battle, murder and sudden
death. Our wars will then occur
not between one group and another
but between the whole of humanity
and hostile nature"
But while this seems the only way
of escape, Prof. Tolman said, 1T can
only prevail if there also appears"
some corresponding new emotional
dynamic behind it, some new re-
ligion to push and force it. 1t is
our task to discover what this re-
ligion will be and to make it pre-
vail"

BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star staff CORRESPONDENT,

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Sept. A.
Light for mankind beyond the dark
ness of the present war depends on
the emotional drive Of q new reli-
gion toward a new ideal man, DR..
Edward c. Tolman of the University
Of California, president of the
American Psychological Association,
declared in opening the annual
meeting Of the association here last
night.
The Christian era. he explained,
already has seen four human ideals
replace each other. First was the
spiritual man" Of the period of the
Christian martyrs and saints when
society as q whole attached greatest
Importance to the virtues of suffer-
ing and sacrifice for the supernat-
ural. BY the later Middle Ages this
was replaced by the ideal of the in.
tellectual man, when scholarship,
however unattainable to the masses,
became the surest road to reverence
by ones fellows.
Economic Ideal Appears.
This in turn, he said. was replaced
by the ideal of the economic man
when society attached greatest i'm
portance to the abilities required In
piling up wealth. This persisted up
to the present but has broken down
in totalitarian countries and is re-
placed by the ideal of the heroic
man The first three failed he
stressed, because they failed to
satisfy some fundamental needs of
human nature and led to an I'M
stable society.
Italy. Germany, Spain. Norway.
Holland, Belgium and France all
collapsed for fundamentally the
same reason-abandonment of the
ideal Of the economic man, he
stressed.

Pope Plus XII Urges

Pontiff Stresses Need

VATICAN CITY, Sept. Pope
Plus XII today recommended a re-
turn to faith and Christian doc
trine for those raised in an at
mosphere saturated with agnosti-
cism" and who now see $50 many
ideologies and systems" collapsing
about them.
The Pope spoke to more than
5000 members of the italian Cath
Ollie Action Society, who overlooked
three large halls of The papal pal
ace. His words were broadcast by
the Vatican radio.
The Pope recommended obedience
to civil authorities along with re-
ligious work by members of Cath
Ole Action.
The speech seemed to indicate
further an intention by the pontiff
to keep Catholic Action completely
separated from political influence.

Urges Respect for Authorities.
"Since there is no power but from

authorities and their legitimate Or

Catholic Action, which is not and
does not seek to be a party organi-

perfect citizens .. loving their
country and even ready to give their

were reared in homes silent on re-

nuns "reviled" and who went to
workshops, stores and seats of learn

Without a good thought in their
hearts"
The people could not find peace
of mind, he said, in the conquests
of science, industry and in the
laboratories and workshops in their
eagerness for gain and pleasure"
Adults who grew up and were
educated in an atmosphere

Use Of Tile Suggested
To Home Builders For
Its Beauty, Durability

If you are at all like most home
owners, you can picture just what
you want your home to be long be-
fore any plans or specifications are
eve drawn. Perhaps you've kept
illustrations of fire places, stair
ways, bathrooms and game rooms
which were particularly pleasing
to you. You also have very def
mite ideas about the good points,
and the shortcomings, of the homes
you've visited-a well lighted liv-
ing room with ample wall space,
an attractive sunporch, an awk-
ward hallway, or a poorly planned
kitchen.
Have you ever noticed how many
homes have Tile in them? How
~attractively its colors and designs
set off the fittings and furnishings
of a room? How effectively Tile
becomes a part of the plan of deco
ration and how it gives an air of
refinement, luxury and durability?
Maybe you've also noticed how
often you find Tile walls and floors
in rooms which are used the most
and get the greatest wear and
tear, and in places where the
height of cleanliness is uncon-
sciously the first requirement.
It may have been used in bath
rooms and kitchens, where unaf-
fected by soap and water, steam
and grease, its enduring beauty
gave an air of attractiveness and
a sure feeling of durability and
cleanliness. 1t may have been in

patterns remained unmarried by
wet and muddy feet. Perhaps you
found it in a basement laundry or
game room and saw how effective
ly it prevents the ravages of out
side moisture-so damaging to
many walls and floors below
ground level.
If you ask any of these home
owners about their Tile walls and
floors, you'll understood why it is
Sly widely used in American homes.
For Tile always keeps its original
color and brightness, undimmed
and untarnished, as long as your
home will stand. A simple wiping
with a damp cloth takes off all
normal household dust or CRIME
and leaves your walls and floors
spotlessly clean. Tile stands up
under wear and tear, too, without
any special care or attention on
your part, and needs no periodic
waxing, polishing or other finish
to protect and beautify it. In fact
it costs you nothing to own Tile
walls and floors; for once they
are installed, they neither require
nor demand any further expense.
The Carolina Cut Stone Co., Inc,
local dealers and contractors for
the high quality Tile-Tex wall and
floor covering, have a full line of
sample ready for your inspection.
