When a bird, for no ap parent reason, violated the rules and came flying Into his cave something was wrong. It was unusual and the unusual puuled and scsred the primi tive man. Here we got the origin of s bird superstition which survives In Its original form unto this day) modified in sums cases, though, by other super stitions which gradually gathered about birds. Thus In some sections a bird flying Into a room Is contldcred to be, or to symbolise, a soul come for another soul and thus to portend death. This comes from the Idea which grew up among some tribes of the transmigration of souls Into birds. Also primitive man became obsessed with the Ides that birds somehow Id Heated the future.

And I am sorry to say It, the proportion of those who fnll Into your little trsp will probnbly be greater smong women than smong men. For while many women think as straight as sny man, women In general cannot match men In general when It comes to the faculty of think ing straight of catling a spade a spade, snd of not trying to fool them selves. The sversge man when naked about something that he does not know will more readily admit thai be does not know than the average wom an. Hhe will he more Inclined to bluff It out, oot so much from motives of dishonesty as from a penchant for fooling herself. Wlih reference to thla art of bluff ing, certain tests were made recently si the University of Cincinnati In which the students were asked to de fine words that did not exist, to place quotations from 8hakeseare which were made op for the occasion, to dealgnate the authors of certain books which had never been written. And the teats revealed that the freehmen bluffed the mm! and seniors ths least, thnl the least hlultlng waa done by students who ranked highest academ ically, the highest record for exKa1 tlons on non-exlalent subjects coming from those whose genersl record st college was lowest . Thnt, of courae, brings us back to the old atory that the person who knows most knows when be does not know. Only the fool "knows It sll." A girl complained to me that the old women In her funilly were oppres sive In their Insistence In "knowing It all," even In matters that were en tirely foreign to them. Hhe eaked me If this were a quality common with old people. If It Is, In my opinion, they are old people who have gone Sterile mentally, whose minds hsve atrophied.
