Mussolini begins military training

frequent contact with armed forces.”
The red Indians went even fur
ther back. They developed a pas
sion for war and scalps In the
squaw even before the little light
ing papoose was born, providing
the females with Interesting little
stone hammers used to crush In the
skulls of surviving enemy warriors
as the squaws went carefully over
the battlefield at dusk.
Sparta trained her hoys for kill
ing, even encouraging them to mur

as they went to thctr work before

Long ago In Venice was built a
fine palace, the “Abbey of St. Greg
ory." The palace has changed
hands and Is now being “renovat
ed." with plumbing, bath tubs, show
ers. electric bells, telephones, radio,
that would considerably surprise
any ancient abbot.
No “Long Rear" from across the
mountains, no roving Hun from be
yond the Volga, has appropriated
the religious palace to other uses.
The new tenant Is a very pretty
slender American girl named Bar
hara Hutton, who brings with her
the proceeds of a five and ten cent
store system that can quickly
change nny old abbey Into a mod
ern, fashionable “dilatory domicile.’’
She brings also a husband, a “Geor
gian prince," named Mdivani, by
product of the five and ten cent
stores, who will know how to make
the old abbey "ring with merri
ment." Strange old ghosts will
creep cautiously over highly pol
ished, newly waxed floors, and say
to them: “Well, live and lenrn."
A young lady, christened “Greta
Gustafson," known to many by her
Invented name of Greta Garbo, cel
ebrated her twenty-eighth birthday
recently. As a young girl she
worked In a store in Stockholm,
Sweden, and here she has made and
earned ten thousand dollars a
week. Her birthday is mentioned
because this queer young lady did
not “throw" any great party on the
edge of nny costly California swim
ming pool. "Just a quiet evening at
home,” said she, and stayed at
home to think of swiftly passing
time. That helps to explain her
success. Ks bildet eln Talent sich

New York city must feed 400,(MM)

their gas, light nnd rent bills.
The city has been paying out
$17,000,000 a month, or at the rate
of $204.000,(MX) a year, almost half
what It cost to run the whole na
tional government before the big
war started.
The problem, “How to continue
getting the money,” has been tern
porariiy solved by a three-cornered
agreement between the mayor and
hoard of aldermen. Business In
New York city will pay a “relief
tax" of one-tenth of 1 per cent.
Those that pny income tax to the

Another scientific discovery, most
Important If it stands the test of

American Chemical society by Or.
Ill lice McDonald, director of can

an enzyme, or biological catalytic,
called "phosphotaz.” that effective
ly resists the action of cancer. Hu
man beings afflicted with cancer
lack the phosphotaz In the kidneys

“Are the new standards of mod
ern life completely wiping out nil
the decencies? I hope 1 can say
without seeming to be ‘old fash
ioned’ that ro n% way of thinking
the first sign of u lady or gentle
man was always consideration for

large numbers of people who seem
to be accustomed to the better stand

wonder, am 1 out of step?
“My daughter recently returned
from a vacation at a fountain hotel
where she went for much-needed
rest. It Is not a gay or noisy place,
but it Is so constructed that sounds
carry amazingly from room to room
and for sleep at night one is de
pendent on the consideration of one’s
neighbors. My daughter chose this
place to go to bed early, but found
herself unable to sleep until late at
night because of the Inconsidernre
ness of those coming in after her.
Now, these people were what would
be termed Intellectuals—people of
education—a large number of tench
ers utnong them. And if people of
that class are not only thoughtless
but deliberately Inconsiderate of
the needs and wishes of others, I
ask you is the whole world revising
Its standard? It Is not only because
my daughter hnd been 111 and this
experience was almost disastrous ro
her—I am really Interested In the
Question."
The noted writer and thinker to
whom this criticism of modern life
was addressed continents us follows:
“To my mind, dear reader, the
first sign of ‘a lady or gentlemen’ Is
still consideration for others. I
think your daughter bad an experi
ence unusual among the type of peo
ple you mention, and that perhnps
her own condition somewhat height
ened the situation. However, It Is
not always education which makes
the true lady or gentleman.
“Education should, of course, make
people broader and bigger, develop
their best qualities. And everything
else about them being the same, the
educated man or woman should be a
better social element. That Is ex
pected, too, to be the result of good
upbringing—to give one a greater
sense of responsibility toward other
human beings.

TO BE SURE, many people find that coffee
does not disagree with them. But many
others cannot and should not drink it. You may
be one of these . . . without realizing it. The caf
fein in coffee may be working night and day to
rob you of sleep, upset your digestion, or un
dermine your nerves.
If, for any reason, you suspect that coffee
doesn’t agree with you ... try POSTUM instead
for at least 30 days. There is nothing in POSTUM
that can possibly harm you. It is a delicious
drink . .. and may be a real help. It costs less
than one-half cent a cup ... and is very easy to
prepare. POSTUM is a product of General Foods.

counts more than any schooling.
And that Is what I have heard called
‘the education of the heart.’ People
who have it have that tlrst requi
site of a gentleman or lady—consid
eration for others. And many a
man has it who has never left the
plow, many a woman whose life has
been too circumscribed to learn
much from books. On the other
hand people preoccupied in this land
of opportunity with getting on. may
learn many facts without being real
ly educated; for without that ‘edu
cation of the heart,' without u social
sense toward their fellow-creatures,
they cannot truly be cnlled that."

Wide Variance as to
Science of Psychology
Psychology Is sometimes defined ns
the science of the mind and some
times ns the science of behavior.
These two definitions mark a funda
mental divergence of opinion. The
older scientific psychology concerns
Itself with the study of the mind as
the sum totnl of Immediate experi
ence. More recent psychological
trends have been toward behavior
ism, which studies not the Immediate
experience of the animal or human
being, hut Its behavior. The greater
body of scientific results have been
obtained under the former point of
view. The behavioristic attitude came
much Inter and was first applied to
animals. Afterwards in mental tests
for the diagnosis of mental disease
this attitude was extended to the
