HEROES ,
i: The name of Brown appears large in the headlines. Brown,
we are led to believe won the game. A five-colum photo
graph shows us Brown in the act of carrying the ball ovev.-
But who is the unidentified youngster with the long logs
who is one step ahead of Brown in the photograph? His
name is Smith, and he isn't a hero. He doesn't count.
: Brown carried the ball over the goal line five times, and
all this fellow Smith had to do was to lope at his side and
block tackles who had designs on Brown. He merely cleared
the way and reduced Brown's duties to the simple business
of trotting behind and clinging to the ball.
( Insignificant Smith! Glorious Brown!
.-; Dispatches from the front inform us that the gallant Four
Hundred and Twenty-first stormed the ridge and cleared out
a nest that had threatened the line for weeks. Actually
stormed the position, right up that steep hill !
' Glorious achievement! ; ra
( Of course there were many batteries in the rear that
bornbarded the ridge for an hour before the advance and laid
jdowh'a creeping barrage' thatf'destrdyticl every living thing
Cn the ridge and before it, but these batteries merely killed
off the enemy and made the advance possible. That was all.
;. Two brothers get jobs and feed the family in order that a
third may be relieved of obligation and may get an education.
The public prints praise him. The third, thus favored, makes
the most of his opportunity and achieves distinction. He is:
the family hero the neighborhood hero. Nobody mentions
Jthe two who make him what he is who. sacrificed them
selves to confer greatness upon him. . They were mere lntcfr

I PITY THE MISER I
it The oddest news stories that ever get into tho papers,
perhaps, axe those which tell about misers. ,
j- A new version of this old type of story appeared not long
ago. when Chicago courts investigated the affairs of an aged
ag picker who had just died.
j. For a quarter of a century this man had gone about Chi
cago's west side gathering rags and old bottles, lie was
known to be a bit "near," and casual acquaintances guessed
jthat he had laid away a good deal of money; but no one was
prepared for what actually was discovered,
jf This rag picker, who worked at the very bottom of the
scale and lived in a one-room flat, had an estate worth more
Ithan $1,000,000 not on paper, but in actual cash and
government bonds.
f .Stories of this kind aren't exactly rare; and they always
;set one musing about the peculiar way in which the human
Wind can work occasionally. For they represent such a;
complete mistaking of the means for the end, such a tho
rough perversion of tho ordinary objectives of life. , .
iAny man of ordinary intelligence knows perfectly well that
money, by itself,- isn't worth anything. It is of value only
becauso of the things it will buy. The man who has plenty
of money can get u better life for himself and his family
than the man who lacks it. He can havo leisure, pleasant
surroundings, time for honest recreation, a chance to develop
lu's spirit.
1 The man who piles up a fortune because he wants those
things because he realizes that wealth is only a means to
an end knows what he is doing.
Hut what are we to think of the man who rolls up an
enormous bank account but refuses to take advantage of it
4 the man who is rich but who persists in living under the
handicap of poverty?
A man like that is more to be pitied than the penniless
.vagrant. He has failed to gliiupso tho real meaning of life.
on0 of the best-looking wives I have
over seen. She Is a dandy. I am get
ting acquainted with my neighbors
and learning to love them. .
Three years ago, I ordered my
clothes from a merchant-tailor two
and three suite at a time. ' All my
clothes wore good ones, I was always
dressed up. But now, I haven't bought
a suit of clothes In two years. I am
mighty proud of my Bunday-go-to-meetlng
clothes. When I dress up, I
am dressed up, and I don't mean
maybe. I like tho depression.
Three years ago I was so busy and
my wife was so busy that we didnt
see much of each other, consequently
we sort of lost Interest In each other.
I never went homo to lunch. About
twice a week I went home for din
nor nt 6:30 o'clock. I never had time
to go nnywhore with her. If I did
go on a party, I could ncvor locate
her and since there was always a
"blonde" or a "red head" available I
didn't worry much about It.
My wife belonged to ail tho clubs
In town. She even Joined the young
mother's club. Wo didn't havo any
children, but she was studying and
between playing bridge and going to
qlubs, she was never at homo.'
Wo got stuck up, and high fain tin.
Wo, even took down , tho old family
bed and bought a sot of twin beds
on tho Installment, plan. ' , ,
When I would como.homo at night. 1
If my wife was at homo, she; would
already bo- In her bed and I would
crawl In mine. If she camo In first,
it was vice versa.-' ( j ..-";:
' We like tho depression, r Wo- have
come down off our pedestal and are
really living at my house now. The
twin beds aro stored In the garage
and the old family affair is being
used. Wo are enjoying life. Instead
of taking a hot water bottle to .bed
theso cold nights, she sticks her heels
In my back Just like eho did before
Hoover was elected. .
A I haven't been out on n party In 18
months. I havo lost my book of tele
phone numbers. My wlfo has dropped
all tho clubs. I believe wo aro falling
In lovo all over again. I am pretty
well 'satisfied with my wlfo. Think I
will keep her, at least until she ltt
forty and then If I feel llko I do now,
I may trade her for two twenties.
I am feeling bettor since tho de
pression. I take more exorcise. I walk
to town and a lot of folkn who usea
to drive Cadillacs aro walking with
me. I llko tho depression.
My digestion Is better. I haven't
been to sco a doctor In a year. I can
eat anything I want to.
I am getting .real honest-to-good-
ness food. Three years ago, wo had a
fillet mlguou onco a week, now we
havo round steak and (lour gravy.
Then wo had roast breast of guinea
hen. now we are glad to get sow
boHom with tho buttons on It.
I like the deprrailon. The wnlnry
has beon cut to where I can't afford
to buy lettuce and spinach and par
sley and wo can't afford to have sand
wiches and frozen desserta unri all tho
damfooltslmesa which has killed more
good men than tho World war.
I like tho depression. Three years
ago, I never had tlmo to go to church.
I played golf all day Sunday and be
sides I was bo darned smart that there
wasn't a preacher in West Texas who
could toll mo anything.
Now I am going to church regularly
and U this depression keeps on, I'll
bo going to prayer meeting before
lotiR. I llko tho depression. lienry

A 2-year-old i boy blows... mighty
breaths at the sky to "blow-down the
airplane," ho explains, or to "put out
tne moon.'"'
Ho blows at street lights for the
same reason and at dogs to blow them
away. The fact that his efforts never
meet with the slightest success In no
way disturbs him. He blows lustily
and with overy evidence of being
pleased with himself.,
It Is characteristic of all primitive
thinking, whether among savages or
among children, to believe In the pow.
cr of wishes, tho omnipotence of
thoughts, In the efficacy of an bb
vlously Ineffectual act.
Indeed, among certain primitive
people when a man sickens and dies
It is thought that his death Is caused
by tho, magic or merely"by-theMfl
wishes of aii enemy: " -J.l

Tho problem of tho physical basis
of bad behavior Involves tho age-old
question or the Interrelation, of body
and mind. ,
Wc havo accumulated a wealth of
scientific material showing that phy
sical disabilities may result from 1m
proixir working of tho nervous sys
tem, and as many scientific data
demonstrating tho affect of physical
disability on tile performances of the
nervous system. . i , t
It 'has been well established that
malnutrition, anemia; chronic Infec
tions, including tuberculosis, defec
tive vision, bad hearing, wrong pos-
turo, diseased tonsils, enlnritcd ade
noids, and other obstructions of the
respiratory tract may Influence Ad
versely the behavior of tho child.
Children suffering from these dis
abilities may prove rebellious, irri
table, uncooperative, listless, shy, day
dreamers, incapable of concentration
and of sustained attention.
Tho ontlro list of undesirable be
havior patterns can. to some extent
at least, be traced to such physical
disabilities as arc mentioned above.
Oti tho other hand, most of the chil
dren studied In behavior clinics are
found to bo free of gross physical
defects.
