•It Isn't very Important whether or not the gras* 1* cut.” answered his father. “hot It's extremely Important you have the right state of mind about getting at w hat needs to be done. There Is a legend that satnn once offered a prize to the demon who should suggest the surest method of damning men's souls. One brought forward a most brilliant argument to demonstrate the futility of goodness. Another most lurlngly pictured the attractions of trfL Another proposed that the sutanlc legions should admit the wisdom and the glory of righteousness, but should concentrate their jx.were on perimajllng men to put off the day when tbey Bbcrald begin to practice righteousness. Satan Is said to have awarded his

prize to that suggestion.

“There is no Question," continued the ■ doctor, “that the greatest enemy to (goodness In the world Is procrastination. Every man Unit lives means some day to lead a good life. Ton have seen (that little placard on office walls. Do It Kow T It ought to be before our eyes wherever wo go. It ought to he written In onr minds. Just as soon as wc discern the right thing to be done, wc ought to set about doing It without delay. If we delay today, it's twice as easy to delay again tomorrow. Get the bablt, John. In small things. If the grass ought to be cut now, then require of yourself that you cut it now. If your jLatln ought to be prepared now. then don't risk the chance of getting the procrastinating habit by putting It off to another time. I don't urge you to plunge Into things without thinking. Take all the time you need to come to your conclusions. But when your (Judgment tells you a thing surely ought to be done, get at it at the first possible

moment. Do It now!"

John started for the door. “That grass ought to be cut, that's sure." he aald, “and I'm going to do It now!"—

you have burned up the materials of personal Incentive In one vast bonfire of the emotion*. That’s the great American ailment, according to Dr. David Orr Eason, the psychologist. I •odor Orr, following a meeting of scientist* In New York, explained German kultur as it differed from the psychological attributes of other peo-

ples. especially Americans.

According to Doctor Orr the Germans have, more nearly than any other people, dispensed with their emotions. The ruthless reality with which they have replaced their emotions Is what the world now knows as knltur. And. according to Doctor Orr. It points the direction in which the race la be-

ing hurled.

“Among students of mental phenomena emotions have long been known to bold the greatest of all of the destroying agents of heroic deeds and. without doubt, physical achievements as well" Doctor Orr said. “Anger, Joy and pity, the goal of our actors and writers, are the utter destruction of the psychic material which otherwise would find Its exit In deeds."

SUBMIT IDEAS TO “FILTER” Employees cf New York Business Firm Are Encouraged to Put Forward

Their Opinions.

“I have learned a secret by long Experience that may be of value to (others," says a New York bushier* jnan, the head of a large drug flrtu. “I have the oldest man In the houi assume the position of censor. V jare naturally a progressive house, ai ere always going after new buslue In fresh fields. Our young men a fuil of ideas and new ways. Some ul them are good, others bad. Tin young man can never have Uie same slant on such ideas that the man of ripened experience has. So every time a young man gets new Idea he takes tt to the old mau. whom we-call ’the filter.' 11 the Idea Isn’t good, or has weak s|K»tH. It Is killed ai once. If It Is good, the older man i>erh ps jdds to it or O. K.'» 4t us it Is. and 1. .s put Into force. “The system has worked wonderful

ly well. In this way wi very greatest efficiency."

CRIMINALS FOND OF POETRY Fact Often Noticed Ha* Been Explained by Great French Lawyer a* Form of Egotiwn. Criminals are notoriously fond of poetry. That is what they read bypreference when serving time. And ihey are fond of writing verses, generally of a sentimental kind, often full of self-pitying pathos, for real criminals nearly always look upon their deeds as the result of the force of circumstances. Solellland. the murderer, called his crimes a misfortune. Angstay wrote: “You understand that I have been the plaything of circumstances." Vidal, the slayer of peasant women, wrote that he was “fundamentally good and incapable of hurt-

ing a fly."

Eugene Nolent. commenting on a recent book by Raymond Hesse, the French criminal lawyer, on the literature of criminals, says- “This fondness of criminals for poetry may perhaps be explained by the fact that poetry enables one better than prose to express tne ardor of his passions. For that reason these works always bear the Imprint of the ‘me' and follow the author's sentiments with moat romantic grandiloquence."

PONDEROUS IN HiS SPEECH English Scholar Had One ef the AV tribute* That Have Been Ascribed to Doctor Johneon. Dr. Martin Joseph Routh. at co ® time president of Magdalen college,* Oxford, had Doctor Johnson’* h*bl! pz-

speech.

• How are you. sir?" a friend one* asked him. “I am suffering, sir. •from a catarrhal cold, ever, sir. I take slon of nature to relieve humors of the system." A few years before his death Ms butler became Insane, and had to be sent away. When be was leaving he begged to see the president once mom, “to ask his blessing." The president received him In the garden, where the an, stooping as If to kiss hi* hand, t a piece out of It “How did you feel, Mr. Presldentr asked someone, “when that man bit your hand?" “Why, at first sir.” said the president. “I felt considerably alarmed, for I was unaware, sir. what proportion of human virus might have been communicated by the bite. But in the Interval of reaching home I Vi need that the proportion of virus must have been very small indeed. Then I was at rest; buL sir, I had the bite cauterized." Doctor Routh believed In the ceremonials and conventions of life, and he never appeared on any occasion without his canonicals, some ill-dis-posed under-graduates determined to break through this habit, and going under his window at midnight, they shouted “Fire!” The president appeared very soon In a terrible state of alarm, but ha wore his full canonicals

EXPLAINS WARMTH OF WOOL Superior to Linen Because It is an Animal Product and Also Ha*

Special Properties

The main difference between wool and linen is that wool is animal and linen Is vegetable, and that the fiber of wool Is irregular, while that of linen Is straight and regular. When the Irregular fiber of the wool 1* woven It contains certain little cells which hold a neutral layer of air. The linen has no such cells. This layer of air which the cells make Is like an Invisible coat that keeps the normal heat of the body from leaving It and which at the same time keeps the atmosphere which Is colder than the body temperature from entering It. This layer of air Is, as some writer has put It, a little gaseous armor. If woolen yarn Is rendered straight and regular by some special treatment In the mill, and Is woven like linen. It Is only a very little warmer than linen. That little Is due to Its being animal, which has always more warmth to it than vegetable product.

^ne time tutor of a French prince. Ottered the great truth that “king* exist for the sake of their subjects, not subjects for the sake of kings." Writing to a friend the year before ht died he said: “I ask little from most men; I try to render them much, and to expect nothing in return; and 1 get wry well out of the bargain.” Montaigne (1533-1592) said of educating a child: “It Is not sufficient to make hi* mind

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) wrote: “The pagan schools walked In darkness, feeling their way. clinging to falsehood* as well as to truths In their haphazard Journeying. Some of their philosophers occasionally cast upon certain *tbJects feeble gleams which Illuminate but one side and made the darknea* of the other side more profound. Hence all the phantoms created by ancient philosophy. None but ulvine wisdom was capable of substituting an even and all-embracing light for all those tuckering rays of human wisdom. Pythagoras, Epicurus. Socrates. Plato are torches; Christ Is the gloriou*

What an Owner Cannot do

Beyond a certain point an OWNER cannot regulate the CONTRACTOR he employs. You can cage a leopard, but you cannot change his spots or his point of view. But what an Owner CAN DO is to select, in the first place, a Contractor who has an established reputation for integrity, efficiency and results. Edward B.
