The expression Is commonly used In every day speech, but the per­ son la rare who understands the al- I us I od with the knowledge o f how It started. The expression comes t^u s from the old English game o f pall mall or pall mall, which was Introduced during the reign o f Charles I, and subsequent­ ly became very popular In England. A game In which a ball was drlveD with a mallet, and taking Its name from the Italian “ palla magllo," palla meaning ball and “ m agllo" hammer. In quick pronunciation pall mall be­ came “ pell mell” and It was from the fact that under certain circumstances In the game, the playegs would rush headlong at the ball that such heed­ less, hasty activity came to be de­ scribed as "pell-mell.“ And though the game which brought It Into exist­ ence has served Its time and passed out o f the picture, the expression “ pell-mell" has survived In modern speech. tCopyrlaht.) -O T GABBY GERTIE b y I L E. T H O M S O N . Ph. D. WHY WE LOSE INTEREST E G E T Interested, but we don't stay Interested. W e lose Inter­ est either temporarily or permanently, taking on new Interests and casting them off as wornout clothes. Some Interests hold us longer than others. The reasons for losing Interest are fatigue and saturation. W e lose In­ terest because we become tired In body and mind and cannot hold our attention on the Interest. As much as children love to hear stories, they sometimes get so tired that they lose Interest and fall asleep. True fatigue causes the loss o f In­ terest In the economy o f health. It Is also true that loss o f Interest due to belDg fad up on the thing causes false fatigue. Often we think we are terribly tired when In reality we are merely disinterested. W e are tired of the thing we are doing and assume that the whole body Is tired. W e say, “ that makes me tired." or “ he makes me tired," when we mean that the thing or person referred to does not Interest us. Some Interests we lose permanently because our tastes are changing. W e grow away from the thing that once held us firmly. Darwin, fo r example, testifies that after thirty years o f re- search In animal and plant specimens In support o f his famous theory of evolution he suddenly discovered that he had lost his interest In literature. Here Is a curious thing In the mat­ ter o f losing Interest W e lose Intel- est If we overindulge In a thing and get fed np and tired If not actually disgusted. On the other hand, we also lose Interest I f we neglect the thing so that It dies o f disuse. T o keep up an Interest In anything. It seems nec­ essary to Indulge moderately and at rather frequent Intervals.
