Premier Asked to
Find the Only Girl
"You've heard all about the mad
under -graduate the Oxford police
caught, who admitted stealing the
curare from the Lab. to send the
Doctor at Brightmouth, care of the
Poste Restante, who wanted to con-
tinue his experiments in achieving
vivisectionof animals without either
pain to the subject during operation
or the necessity for destruction
after."
His hearers nodded.
"Well, neither the Police nor any-
body, I think, believe all that stuff.
The student Branksome had views
on vivisection well-known at Oxford.
He had often spoke on. the subject
and been reported in the papers. I
don't say anything about his views
on science, but I do say—and his
conduct in this particular case cer-
tainly* bears. it out that he was a
fanatic. If he hadn't been he'd hard-
ly have fallen a victim to the trick
of this fellow at Brightmouth, who
calls himself a Doctor, and have gone
as far stealing curare from the Labs.
"You've also read, I expect, that
there's no trace of a doctor Festus
Hawkes at Brightmouth, nor any
such name in the Medical Register.
The Post Office staff at Brightmouth
don't know any such man by sight.
The few letters addressed to him at
the Poste Restante were collected by
a small girl who brought the original
letter to the Post Office to make the
arrargement. And there seems very
little chance up to the present of
tracing him.
"Of course, he may not even have
lived at Brightmouth at all. He may
have come in -on the few occasions
he collected the letters from one of
the villages. around. Until they get
hold of the girl there's not much
chance of their tracing our friend
Doctor Hawkes."

We say this because, before the
discovery of "Aspirin," most so-

vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
"Aspirin" largely changed medical
practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken "Aspirin" year in
and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.

it gives potential criminals a much

Her words were a little ponderous

not help admiring the way in which
she gave to every syllable its correct
value. She was indeed a relic of the
Victorian days, unspoiled by . the
slipshod methods of a later ere.
"Quite right/' said Lettice. "But

"My dear," interposed the girl's

only smiled and shook her head in-

Taunton looked worried. That was
a bad sign. The Chief Inspector
wasn't the kind of man who looked
worried as a rule—he hadn't that
sort of disposition. He had worked
his way up to the post he held by
dogged, matter-of-fact perseverance:
He never fussed; he had intelli-
gence and used it. He usually found
that, given the facts as they emerg-
ed in any particular case, the solue
tion was bound, sooner or later, to
transpire by the mere process of
piecing thein together in an orderly
and connected manner. But the
Patelli affair seemed to be going to
prove an exception to the rule,

EVERY. DAY LIVING
A WEEKLY TONIC
By Dr. M. M. Lappin
A few weeks ago I dealt with the
risks sometimes taken in answering
advertisements of a certain type. My
article apparently excited the inter-
est of one reader who has been
'caught napping' with an advertise-
ment of another sort. I have his let-
ter before ine .naw. When I first read
it I was inclined to smile, and then,
I frankly became indignant. Here is
an extract from his letter:.
"I have just read your article on
"Answering Advertisements" and,
like you, I can sympathize with the
lady who was `caught napping'. I
have also been 'caught napping', but
with an advertisement of another
sort, I read an advertisement in a
magazine which began "You can get
what you want and then went on to
describe in glowing terns a course
in psychology supposed to teach you
anything you want—riches, fame,
friends, power, etc. I wrote for par-
ticulars, and afterwards invested
some hard earned dollars in the
course only to find that I had wast-
ed my money. The course was just
so much drivel, , . I am bitterly
disappointed, and I want to ask you
as a psychologist if psychology earn
really help a fellow to get what he
wants."
Now, isn't that a nice poser? In
the first place, ]et me say that one
should always try to apply common
sense reasoning to the proposition
offered in any advertisement before
parting with 'hard earned dollars'. It
surely stands to reason—does it not?
—that if there were such a thing as
a course by which men could be
taught to get all they want, every-
body would he taking that course.
Why, men would even be willing to
pawn their shirts to take it. At
least, I think I would, and I ant just
human like others.
But supposing there were such a
course, and supposing all men did
take it, what would happen? Just
this, the selfishness that exists in
the world would become exceedingly
more selfish and life would be sim-
ply intolerable. No, my friend, a
little thought, and you would have
seen that the prnffered course was
too much of a good thing. It would
be the worst thing that could hap-
pen us if, by some power or other,
we were able to get all we want.
Personally, I shall be satisfied if I
get all I need, and I think so will
mosteeople be. There are few of
us who don't get that and a little
niiore than we actually need.
Of course every new field that
opens up tends to become, for a
time, a happy hunting ground for
quacks and charlatans and fakes.
Psychology has been no exception. I
think, however, that they have al-
most had their run. Psychology is
coning into its own, and as it comes
into its own, the quacks, charlatans,
and fakes will gradually be elimin-
ated. There is certainly a place for
the trained psychologist and a work
for hint to do among his fellows. Our
universities and colleges recognise
this, and are training leen and wov-
en toward this end. Moreover the
training is intensive. I believe the
day is rapidly approaching whorl our
medical mien and our clergyme,l will
all be trained psychologists, but there
are uo many branches of psychology
that I hardly think the time will ever
come when it will be confined to
these two professions alone. That
does not alter the fact, however, that
doctors and ministers who are train-
ed psychologists ere better fitted to
help their fellow men to whom they
are called upon to mieister.
But the ordina':y individue.1 can
study psychology to his own advan-
tage, and there are schools which
provide splendid courses for the be-
ginner and for the advanced student
—even some correspondence schools
whose courses are perfectly bona
fide.
Psychology. bro'z.11y a,peaking. and
so far as the average man or woman
would have time to study it, may be
said to enable one to understand the
workings of the human mind and, by
the undertakings of its laws and the
application of its principles it helps
the individual to adjust himself to his
environlnent, to life, and to society.
It also helps him to measure his en-
ergy so that he expends it to best
advantage. In a word, it enables him
to apply common sense to life's prob-
lems, to be rational and to think for
himself. And psychology does all this
because it helps a lean to understand
himself.
But the science that teaches a man
to get what he wants just when he
wants it and because he wants it has
not yet been discovered. To be able
to get what we want is one thing.
To understand ourselves, to be able
to think for ourselves, to be able to
wisely direct our own lives—that is
quite another thing altogether, and
that is what psychology helps us to
do.
:This correspondent asks me to re-
commend a 'good school if there is
one." There are many. But it would
be injudicious for one to mention
them in a column in public press. If

At Least 400 Stone Cutters Doomed to Die Before Normal
Life Span Is Up.
NW YORK—At least 400 New
York City men, vicims of silicosis,
lung disorder which has proved fatal
to scores of rock workers at Gauley
Bridge, W. Va., are doomed to die be-
fore their normal life span is up, it
was learned recently.
Siilcesis is one of the most fatal
of occupational diseases, according to
medical experts.
A survey disclosed:
That 118 of 208 stone workers ex-
amined in a Nov York Tuberculosis
and Health Association inquiry were
found to be afflicted with silicosis.
A State Labor Department expert
discovered 78 cases of silicosis among
a group of 125 granite cutters.
A tuberculosis survey by the P.
W.A. a year 'ago found 128 cases of
silicosis.
The city Board of Health tools up
the problem of silicosis on March 10,
at the request o: Health Commission-
er John. L. Rice.
Humour Types
Englishmen and Americans
Respond to Different
'Wisecracks'
VICTORIA, B.C. — "Wisecracks,"
that tickle the risibilities of Amer._
cans are lost on the average English-
man' who, in an attempt to under-
stand them, "looks a trifle wistful,"
said Dr. Henrietta Anderson in an
address here.
The English method is to take the
rational and make it behave in an
irrational planner, while the United
States humorist takes an irrational
creature such as "Mickey blouse,"
and makes it behave in a rational
manner.
Humor or men like Mark Twain and
Bret Harte, however, had universal
appeals, and English humor, subtle
and leaving much to the imagination
appealed to sophisticates of both
nations. Scotch humor the speaker
'defined as unconscious and in a class
by itself.
The Englishman takes his humour
as he takes his sport—tor the fun of
it, whereas in the United States it is
a more serious business.
Dr. Anderson selected Charles
Lamb, H. G. Wells, W. S. Gilbert, Hil-
aire Belloc and Lewis Carroll as dis-
tinctive types of English humorists.
