Barrels for men are suggested by a facetious news writ er in re the shortage of wearing apparel and the coal disre gard for the appearance of his sex manifested by the festive, bewhiskered eastern clothing-factory worker. , Many men in this dry clime are said to feel proud and exclusive wnn nossess 9 narrel nf their nwn Knf thev l-ppn them in cellars, usually, carefully hidden from the eye alike of .the law and of garrulous neighbors. It would be a gala day, indeed, when the rattle and clank of stave upon stave could be heard in business lobbies, when tin cans for hats and sardine-tins for shoes bobbed merrily in the busy marts of commerce.

Addington Bruce, in "his "Psychology of Parent hood." tells US that genius IS nof SO much hnrn nrl Heredity may be responsible for some of the divine spark, but environment in the early years is the chief cause of its manifestation. It fs an old fight reopened between heredity and en vironment. In truth, like most fights, the strict, literal fact lies on neither side of the field of battle. It lies in the middle ground. In most middle grounds, in Tact, may be found the truth which both sides, from their two views of it, claim for their indisputable own. Genius may be cited by the barrel ful which developed despite environment,, or, as the environmentists Tiave it, be cause of the spur of environment itself. Environments, too, which breathe an air of genius about them, do not always produce the ability to appreciate or reproduce the works of genius. But it must be recognized likewise that the river of life, the events of moment-by-moment existence, connive to thrust one man down where another is spewed up-to the glittering high places. Despite inherent traits, despite a mental legacy of talent and understanding, "the grinding glacier of every-day occurrences may place an insurmount able millstone about the neck of the born genius and raise a shallower intelligence above him. .True, many great men arise with their millstones dangling. But we are inclined to believe that many more were inevitably tied down. For every celebrity who has cleaved to greatness; we imagine the self-same kernel of undeveloped potential ability lies un sprouted among the thistles. The short and simple flannels cf the poor cover greater limbs than ever won a marathon; the buried, unseendiamonds which Gray located in the dark unfathomed caves of ocean, are jewels, we think, of brilliancy as great as many cut and polished, commercialized and worshipped. --.... ... -' Environment is no excuse for lack-of- development. Every upright man, despite his surroundings, must first be true to himself to the fullest extent before he is worthy any rewards from the world. ' But we wish to hold an ad vantageous middle-ground, from which we may see the trag edies of environment as well as the glories of successful genius. Genius at best is but a part and portion p.f every man, highly tended and cultured in those representatives of its forms who are accorded the high places of the world Borrowing Trouble.
