“E^go” is the Latin for "l.” as most any
high high school boy or girl knows, and exag
gerate means to enlarge beyond that which
is normal—to overstate, Those who suffer
from the exaggerated ego, therefore, are the
people who see themselves bigger than they
are.
It is not normal for a human being to
think of himself more highly than he ought
to think, no matter who he is, how much
he is worth, or what position he occupies.
In proof of this assertion, here are some
illustrations of the abnormality of the thing.
Recently—1 am not saying when or where
—a man began a speech by saying, ’ Ladies
and gentlemen”—there were no ladies pres
ent—"I wish to talk to you about the cele
brated people who have met me. The man
was abnormal—unsteady on his feet.
Once upon a time, at a dining table, some
visitors made a humorous remark; and when
every body laughed, the child of the family
inquired , ‘‘Now, what have I done?" The
child was abnormal—spoiled.
Upon a certain occasion the people of Lon
don turned out to see Queen Victoria pass.
When the royal carrige had gone by, a small
boy went home crying, and when his mother
asked, "What's the matter, son, didn’t you
get to see the queen?" the boy blubbered,
"Yes, 1 saw the queen but the queen didn’t
see me.” That boy was doubly abnormal;
he had an inferiority complex as well as an
exaggerated ego.
Dr. F. J. Pettyman, former chaplain of the
United States Senate, tells of a Washington
newsboy's meeting a new—fresh—congress
man frqm the southwest. After the boy had
looked at the man a while, he stepped ^up to
him and inquired, "Mister, are you anybody
* in particular?" That was abnormal—
1 man
too full of himself.
Please do not understand me as advocating
the idea that any man, woman, or child—
made in the image of God—should crawl about
the earth like a worm, apologetic for being
here. It was never intended that one person
should be the footman of another. An in
growing ego is probably as bad-, or worse,
than an exaggerated ego. Let us, therefore,
find a happy medium between these two ex
tremes. If we are really somebody, the world
will find it out without our announcing tlie
fact. Lindbergh didn’t need the letters of
ntroduction he carried to Paris.

HOW THE OCEAN
FLYERS DIED.
What are the last moments of an unsuc
cessful ocean flight like? What is the nature
of the final tragedy in mid-ocean darkness?
A lot of us have tried to picture it, since
the disappearance of Nungesser and Coli and
ihe others who were lost at sea. Now comes
Commander Richard E. Byrd’s book, "Sky
word,’’ to tell us.
Byrd’s plane, you remember, came down
in the water off the French coast. If it had
not been close to land Byrd and his three
companions undoubtedly would have drowned,
Byrd gave a graphic description of the crash.
The plane hit the water with terrific force.
He was dazed by the blow; a moment later he
found himself swimming around in the water.
Novile he discovered climbing out of a window
of the sinking plane; Acosta and Balchen ap
peared a moment later, swimming near the
wreckage.
Fortunately, they were able to get ashore.
But that account of thq wreck gives us an un
derstanding of what the last moments of
others less fortunate aviators must have been
like.

A GREAT ECONOMIC SHIFT,
The shift in Amerocan economic and indus
trial status during the last half century is strik
ingly illustrated in the Commerce Depart
ment’s report on U. S. Imports and exports
for the month of June.
In the old days America was a great ex
porter of raw materials. Grain, cotton and
lumber went to Europe in vast quantities,
and shipload after shipload of manufactured
articles came back in return. But now the
situation is reversed.
The country exported $380,281,000 worth
of goods in June. Crude materials and food
stuffs accounted for only 25 per cent of this
huge total. Manufacturers accounted for over
46 per cent, with manufactured foodstuffs
»nd semi-manufacturers account for another
28 per cent. And crude materials and
foodstuffs accounted for 50 per cent of our
$315.1 18,000 of imports for the month.
Quite a change from the day when the
country had nothing. ^ sell W raw materials.

RUTH DEWEY GROVES
Well, what is the condition?"
Bessie asked Rod in reply to his
statement that he would accept the
Job at the cottage on one condition.
"Simply that I shall be at liberty
to quit whenever I chose,” he ex
plained. “And I’ll agree that the
owner may discharge me without
notice."
Bessie hesitated.
"I haven’t the slightest idea whe
ther or not I can endure living here
here alone,” Rod went on, but he
did not add that his doubt was in
spired by the fact that the cottage
reminded him so much of Bertie
Lou.
Bessie had decided that Bertie
Lon would want her to meet his
terms. “I’m sure that will be all
right with the owner,’ she said. “He
wants you to leave your address and
the name of someone we can ask
about you.”
She smiled in friendly fashion,
but Rod did not return the smile.
“I’ve no references,’ he said short
ly, “but I’ve lived at my present ad
dress for several weeks. You may
inquire about me there if you wish.”
“Well, of course, it’s a funny way
to do business, Bessie declared,
merely for the sake of appearances.
“But if you’ve just come to town—”
That was the explanation for his
lack of references that she thought
out in order ta make Rod believe
she assumed it to be the real one.
It wouldn’t do to let him suspect
they would turn over the ,house to
an unvouched for stranger.
Rod let it pass. If they wanted
to investigate him, let them. It
was an absurd thing, anynow. his
taking such a Job. He didn’t really
know why he did it, except that the
opportunity for some physical effort
appealed to him.
It would be a relief to have a
chance to work with his hands, out
doors. But five dollars a week would
hardly maintain him. He had a lit
tie money. He’d have to use some
of that, and he mustn't wait until
it was gone before seeking a no
sition in his own field.
“Here's the address, and the name
of the landlady,” he said and wrote
it down on a pace of paper torn
from a notebook. “When will you
let me know?”’
“Tomorrow night? What’s your
telephone number? If everything
Is all right I’ll give you a ring.”
Roi gave her the number and
she jotted it down.
“Tell the owner that I’d Uirt to
put in a garden,’ ’Rod said when he
was leaving. “I’m not working just
at present and I’d like to be busy
around the place.”
* # *
When Bessie repealed his request
to Bertie Lou the latter smiled. But
the smile was erased when Bessie
informed her of Rod's conditional
acceptance.
"He's afraid maybe he won’t like
the simple life," Bessie added, using
her own words. Into Bertie Lous
mind flashed an interpretation that
killed a little of her pity for’Rod.
So he still longed for Lila, did he?
That was what it meant. : The sim
pie life hadn’t much attraction for
hi m , perhaps if he were not down
on his luck he would be back with
Lila and her friends in the night
clubs.
Bertie Lou thought she could guess
pretty well had happened. Cyrus
had discovered that Rod and Lila
were in love with each other. Rod
had lost his position and Lila had
cast him aside when he began to
slip down the ladder it had cost him
so mucli to climb. The cost had I
been chiefly her own, Bertie Lou re- j
fleeted.
But could Rod be such a poor fish,
that he regretted Lila losing hud Lila? not! j :
Couldn't he see since

with him, that she preferred her
rich husband to a poor lover? She
must somehow have put all the
blame on Rod, and managed to
convince Cyrus of her own Inno
cence. Bertie Lou despised Rod at
the moment she told herself these
things.
She despised him, but still she
“pitied’ ’him. And the next day she
telephoned to his landlady as a
matter of form, and made a few
inquiries about him. All that she
could learn was that he was a satis
factory tenant.
* * *
That evening Bessie called him
and announced to him that his ref
erences were O. K. He could have
the Job if he wanted it, and when
would he go out? Rod replied that
he would be at the cottage the next
morning.
■Make it tomorow evening—at
half past eight and I’ll be out there,”
Bessie told him and lie agreed.
-You can go ahead with the gar
den,’ 'she told him when he ar
rived at the house promptly on the
half hour. "Here’s the keys. Be
sure you don't go away and leave
the fdoors unlocked. And there's
some bacon and eggs in the icebox
but no ice. Oh yes, here’s your first
week’s pay and two dollars to buy
seed for the garden.
Rod thanked her and offered to
walk to the station with her, but
Bessie very decidedly refused. Ber
tie Lou was at the sta tion.
■ What did he say?” she queried
excitedly when Bessie came trudg
ing along Just a few minutes ahead
of their train, ■Doesn’t he think
five dollars is too litte?”
She was sorry she could afford to
paj him no more. But even as.lt was
she couldn't continue long to keep
him in her employ. There would
be no rent to help meet the pay
ments on the house, and her own
salary was not sufficient for any
thing but her own expenses and the
