in the way of our adventuring,” asked
the girl, “continue with their journey?’
“Yes,” was the answer.
“It is good of you to suggest a
poem,” aaid I-Can’t-Write-I’oetry
Though-I-Love-To-Do-So, “and perhaps
it is as well that I begin the entertain¬
ment. Something good is bound to
follow.”
“Now, now,” said Master Thought¬
fulness, “we can’t all be great geniuses.
You’re a nice, good-natured soul and
you don’t spend all your time writing
poetry. If you choose to amuse your¬
self that way—well, all I can say is
that I like to see creatures who have
plenty to do amuse themselves."
“I will call my poem,” said I-Can’t
Write- Poetry-Though-I-Love-To-Do-So,
“a poem of spring.”
“But,” said the boy, “spring is just
about over. Summer is just about
here."
“Never mind the just-about part,”
said I - Can’t - Write-Poetry-Though-I
Love-To-Do-So, “spring rhymes with so
many words that it would help me a
great deal. This is playtime anyway.
You don’t want me to work too hard.”
“That’s so,” agreed the girl, “it’s
playtime. Don’t work too hard. Have
a poem about anything you like.”
“Yes,” said the boy, “by all means.”
So I - Can’t-Write-Poetry-Though-I
Ia>ve-To-Do-So, commenced.
“Whether It’s summer or winter or
autumn or spring,
“Let us often gather and sing, sing,
sing.
“Let us bells of merriment ring, ring,
ring,
“And to our gatherings the boy and
girl bring!”
They ail clapped and laughed. That
didn’t hurt the poet’s feelings in the
least. “You see,” he said, “I made
my poem do for all the seasons after
all. That was a happy thought which
came to me. Of course I don’t know
where we could ring the bells of mer¬
riment, and just how we could always
bring the boy and the girl to our gath¬
erings, but it sounded pretty well on
the whole, didn’t it?”
“To be sure, to he sure, they all
said.
All the dancers began to dance next,
the Glee Twins and Bliss Brothers and
others taking part. Everyone had a
little trick or a little act to do. Mrs.
Get-The-Most-Out-Of-Life whispered to
the girl and the hoy who were now
sitting either side of her.
“We wouldn’t have had this celebra¬
tion if you hadn’t gotten around that
obstacle and you
would never have
seen me ugain,
for you would
have missed so
much out of life
if you had gone
backwards that I
couldn’t possibly
have waited for
you. It would
have been too bad.
Now, though, we
don’t have to
think of that. And
you'll get to the
House of Secrets
so much sooner,
and the road will
seem easier and
easier. Oh, look!”
They looked and
saw funniest looking little
elf run towards the center of the road
where at that moment Miss Soprano
was singing a lovely song. She just
finished the last note when the little
elf took off his cap, threw it high in
the air, held on to his sides and
laughed and laughed and laughed.
“Who is he?” asked the boy.
“Do you ask who I am?” asked the
little elf. “Well, well, well* To be
sure you haven’t seen me before. You
haven’t had time for me. You’ve been
pretty busy and so iny feelings aren’t
hurt. But you must have me for a
friend too. I’m of a little importance,
eh?” He looked at Mrs. Get-The-Most
Out-0f-Life.
“Of course you are. Brother Joker.”
“That’s my name,” said the little
elf t “aDd I’m your newest friend."
A Proper Request.
“Now, Willie,” said mamma, “I want
you to keep very quiet. I don't want
you to say a word ail through din- j
ner.”
“Ve’y well, mamma.” returned Wil¬
lie. “O'ly 1 fink you ought to help

Medical Journal Points Out Grave
Danger in the Increasing Craze
for Psychoanalysis.
Recently, relates the editor of the
Journal of the American Medical As¬
sociation, the minister of a prominent
church in Chicago was asked by the
head of the social work department to
put his approval on the establishment
of a lecture course on psychoanalysis.
Being in doubt, he conferred with sev¬
eral medical men of his congregation.
Finally a neurologist settled the mat¬
ter by saying: “By all means have it.
It should prove very popular. Half
the congregation is already crazy and
the other half is'en route to the asy¬
lum.”
The jest was not wholly a jest. Peo¬
ple are paying too much attention now¬
adays to their minds. An abnormal
Interest in the workings of one’s own
mind produces either an introspective
philosopher or a “common nut.” When
the interest is related more or less
distinctly to a concealed hut neverthe¬
less obvious fascination for cogitation
on things sexual, it has elements of
danger. Physicians are beginning to
wonder where the normal interest of
the layman in these subjects ends and
the scope of the psychiatrist com¬
mences. We are flooded with books
on the subject by lay psychoanalysts;
the “movies” picture it; the theaters
dramatize it; the churches have lec¬
tures on it. In the not too distant fu¬
ture this psychoanalytic craze, if it
continues, will make the medical
psychatrist a very busy man.
NOT AN ERA OF YOUNG MEN
idea That Present Age Is Extraor¬
dinary in That Respect Is Shown
as an Error.
We are given to thinking of this era
of ours as the era of young men, but
the average age of Washington’s cab¬
inet was under 40 years, observes the
Villager, Katonah, N. Y. Hamilton
was thirty-two; Jefferson, forty-six;
Randolph, thirty-six;. General Knox,
thirty-nine, and Samuel Osgood, forty
one. What is It persuades us to the
notion that leaders of earlier times
were always older than the men hold¬
ing the corresponding offices today?
What explains the boast that our
own generation is the first to discover
and dispose of the horrible waste in¬
volved In “middle age?” Is the im¬
pulse just the contempt of today for
yesterday? Or are we misled by the
powdered wigs of the earlier time? »”It
was a young man’s army,” some whip
persnapper second lieutenant returned
from France told us in explanation of
"how we won the war.” A young man’s
army! Whenever was there another
kind?
The whippersnappers confessed ttiey
had never thought of It in that way.
They had come to conceive of tin
Civil war as having been fought by
men like those few who still tetter
along in their blue uniforms on Memo¬
rial day!
Use More Coconut Fat,
For many years past the world's
production of animal fats lms In on
steadily diminishing. Lack of such,
fats spelled famine in Europe during
the war, when great quantities of
them were withdrawn from human use
to make glycerin for high explosive:
Even now, and in this country, there
is an insufficiency of animal fats (a
Indicated by the price of butter) and
to make good the shortage coconut
oil Is imported in -enormous quanti¬
ties. During the last year 345.787,91.’?
pounds of this oil were brought into
the United States.
The oil is largely used in cooking
fat, but also in the manufacture of
nut butter, candles, soap and cos¬
metics. It Is said to be an excellent
substitute for cod liver oil, being high¬
ly digestible and with the advantage
of an agreeable flavor. At ordinary
temperature coconut oil is a white,
butterlike solid.
The new “meats” are dried in the
sun before shipment from the tropical
countries, where coconuts are grown.
In this shape the material is called
copra. The oil is extracted by power¬
ful hydraulic presses, the yield being
65 to 70 per cent of the weight of the
copra.—Kansas City Star.
Overheated Houses.
Atmospheric conditions in home*,
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, are fre¬
quently not maintained as they should
be. Houses are often overheated. In
most cases practically no thought is
given to humidity, or air moistening.
Physicians insist that an overheated
house is unhealthful, and that colds,
sore throats, coughs, and the tendency
to be nervous and feverish may be at¬
tributed to continually breathing air
having too little moisture in it.
Miles of Film.
Usually 150,000 to 200,000 feet are
run through the camera to get a six
reel, or 6,00O-foot picture. The direct¬
or stations three, four or five cameras
to take the same scene. He has one
camera close beside the struggling vil¬
lain and hero, another grinding from
an elevation, still another at this
angle, one more at that angle. When
all of these negatives are developed,
part of each enter into the composi¬
tion of the completed reel.

ball catchers mask?”
