The balf-dozen blocks about Dupont circle In Washington Include the homes of as many scientists of national repu tation. These gentlemen, of course, know each other and meet frequently. Not long ago one of their neighbors began to wonder whether such Inttmato Intercourse among scientists was n good thing, his cogitation having had Its rise In the following Incident: Ills little daughter has Just reached tho age when she asks "00 questions a day. About n month ago her father spoke of some author as lacking tho proper "temperament" for writing on history. That word "temperament" ap parently took root In the youngster's mind. What was temperament? Slits asked that question twice an hour for an entire week, i iinuiy ncr tatner gave her a note to Professor and sent her off to find out That scientist answered the query as follows: "Temperament Is an Individual ten dency to the rise of a certain mental state." Father and daughter nTestled with that a little while, and then applied to a second member of tho scientific group for'help. No. 2 called temperament "an en semble of physical and mental traits arising from fundamental constitution al differences In Individuals." This put the little girl's father com pletely at sea. So No. 3 was tried. Ills Judgment was that "temperament Is the psychic resultant of the whoIj organic life of tho Individual." By this time, says the Washington Star, hope was abandoned. But when No. 4 volunteered to make It clear thu family spirits revived. "Temperament Is a general disposition or the mind," he wrote, "the distinctions of whlcn depend on the dominance of ouo or thu other of tho physiological systems." And now the family dictionary Is worn out Sho Had to Diet. Doctors sometimes give their direc tions for taking drugs or other treat ment In language beyoud'the compre hension ot the patient.
