could be cleverly camou-
flaged with phony fronts
and used over again. Wood

these go back TO defensive
emotional attitude.
In such problem self-ac-
ceptance walks as an indispens-
able element in the solution.
Multitudes live in pathetic UNI
happiness and inefficien y,
when the shift from the de-
fensive to the offensive attitude
whether in handling single
days tasks or whole LIES
character and career, can work
miracles.
John Calender was an Off
Ger of the Massachusetts militia
and was guilty Of cowardice at
the Battle of Bunker Hill. One
of George Washingtons first
duties when he assumed COM
mand of the American forces
was TO order the court-martial
of Captain Calender. He was
cashiered from the army, with
Washington describing his
crime as the most infamous in
a soldier, the most most injur-
ious to an army, and the last to
be forgicen."
No sooner had this tragedy
befallen him than Calender re-
enlisted in the army as a private,
and at the Battle of Long Is
land exhibited such conspicuous
courage that Washington public
ly revoked the sentence and re-
stored to him his captaincy. Be-
hind such an experience lies a
basic act of self-acceptance-
-open-eyed, realistic, without
equivocatlon or eXcuSe-alOng
with shift from a defensive to
an offensive attitude, that makes
John Calender an inspiring per-
son to remember.

One of the most interesting
features Of tournament bridge
is the heated discussion among
the players while they are wait

York attorney, often advances
a good sound argument in these
discussions. The other night he
said. why do people bid so
much on a five-card suit head
ed by the ace-king, with a side
king? It's good-looking hand
on paper, but it will get you
into trouble. If player has a

stop his bidding. Now picture

How the half-baked humor OF
practical jokers and the dim
witted horseplay of war plant
workers who never seem to
grow up have caused more dam
age to- the American war pro-
duction effort than all the Nazi
agents efforts at sabotage is re-
vealed in a special study of in
dustrial breakdowns and delays
made by the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation. Monetary losses
from these pranks are not al
ways great, but confusion and
inefficiency inevitably result.
Fires, delays in war goods and
even death have been caused by
these efforts to play joke on
fellow workmen. And though
foreign directed sabotage in
u. S. war plants has been non
existent. thoughtless gag men
have accomplished the same re-
suit.
AT an East Pittsburgh, Pa,
war plant, a steel motor frame
was found welded TO the floor
in four places. Two supposedly
adult employees later admitted
they had done it as practical

Among the constructive ele-
ments that make lf-accept-
person is the principal Of com
ance basic in becoming a real
pensation.
Deficiency can be a positive
stimulus Demosthenes, desir-
ing above all else to be an ora
tor and help save his people,
had TO accept himself as a STAN
merer. He did not, however
conceal his humiliation with
buster, nor decry eloquence as
worthless trickcry, no retreat in
to fantastic dreams Of himself
delivering orations that would
shake the world, nor resign HIM
self to stammerlng as an excuse
for doing nothing. He took a
positive attitude toward his linn
itation, speaking against the
noise of the waves, so runs the
story, with pebbles in his
mouth, until, the psychologist lists
put IT, he "over-compensated.'
Genius is commonly developed
in men by some deficiency that
stabs them wide awake and be-
comes a major incentive. OBJ
stacles can be Immensely arous-
ing and kindling.
To be sure, this direct type Of
compensation, which attacks a
hated infcriority and achieves
eminence in the very realm
where deficiency threatens fail
ure, is not always possible. Not
everyone can, like Theodore
Roosevelt, start with a frail ply
sique and so compensate
that he becomes roughrider
and lion hunter.
Even so, however, a substitu-
tionary compensation is almost
always possible. The homely
girl may develop the more wit
and charm because she is home
ly; the shy, embarrassed youth,
with the temperament of re-
cluse, may be All the more USE
full in research.
The idea that we are made
great by our superioritles and
ruined by our inferiorities is a
dangerous half-truth. Many are
spoiled by their superiorities,
but, many others have their in
ferlorities to thank for their en-
inenCe. Would Stelnmetz with
his grossly deformed body, have
developed his mind TO such ex-
traordinary uses had he been an
Apollo? Biography records too
many youths who seemed at
first the runts of the litter but
who became eminent surprises
of their day for chance and &C
cident TO be the explanation.
Involved i'm successful, hand
ling of inferiorlty is the ability
to pass from the defensive to
the offensive attitude toward
our limitations. Faced with a
diScouraging contrast between
our actual and desired selves, we
are naturally thrown on the de-
fcnsive. Life seems to be against
us; emotionally we become
apologize, resentful, fearful, or
Inundated, and acquire all
kinds Of psychological evils.

Susie's current role as the
sexy society gal who makes

In short the New York Low Journal is the lost
place in the world in which you might expect the wolf
to show his eerine countenonce. Yet, on Jan. 81,
the Law Journal devoted two full columns to an ed
torio titled us the Term Wolf lbelous2"
The editorial writer went about his tosk with typ

"VVhot precisely is wolff" The as volumes of

Then he consulted the dictionary which told him
shot wolf" could be "ony rovenous, cruel or ropo-
cious person or thing But in the Bible he found isaiah
mentioning something about the wolf dwelling in
peoce with the lamb
Confused by this clash Of definitions, the editor
iol writer consulted his friends. A recent debutonte
scoffed at the ideo Of libel She told him that the
male "wof" was as necessary to social eoiety the
female gold digger" and not half os dangerous. A
former Belle Of the Nneties however, defined wolf"
os "a man with INSCRIPTIONS designs unsophist-

Of some men the more he liked his dog - but thot
had been Iibelous to call skunk, hog,
frozen snake or an itchy old toad.
Toking due account Of precedent, the Low Jour-
