INTERESTING BAD PEOPLE "They are not so good as their mothers, but they are a lot more in teracting," is the way a recent writer describes the modern girls. The two elements of this descrip tion divulge an interesting by-path of the human mind. Why are girls, who are not so good as their mothers, more interesting? Why is It that bad people as a rule are more interesting than good ones? The interesting women whose names appear in history are rarely the ones who followed the convention al line of duty. They are the Helens of Troy, the Cleopatras and the Cath erines women who would probably be featured in the police court news today. The answer to the riddle has several parts but the main element is this: The world and posterity are in terested only in positive characters. The bad is never more interesting than the good when the good is posi tive. But, too often, good people are only good. They do not 6eem to be going anywhere. They are negative, sat isfied to sit still, contented if they do not do certain things. The bad facing the condemnation of society, seem active, positive char acters, who are fighting odds for their ideals. The general impression of the women of the past is that in the main, they were strong in not doing, j The modern girl seems defiant of rules seems to be going somewhere J and so is interesting. j The good too often seem sedentary; t the bad moving. The world, similar to thefhild who is more interested in the active cat than the stationary rock, centers its attention upon moving men and women to the exclusion of the in- actlve- Socrates, Jesus, Paul, Luther and Wesley, are interesting because their goodness took an active form. It be came positive. "Action is the test of life." Doing something is also the test of inter estingness and bad people who seem to be going somewhere always will be more interesting than good people who seem to be sitting still. -:o:- VINDICATED Ever since the motion picture be came an important factor in Ameri can life It has been proclaimed more or less emphatically that the viewing) of "movies" is dangerous to the eyes, j Because the "Movie" actually depends for its effectiveness on the Inability of the human eye to record distinctly. a large number of pictures presented ,1 in extremely raold succession it was' assumed tnat the eye was constantly! draining toward the Impossible and' y fatigued It was a plausablej theory, but it is now proved not to be in accordance with fact.
