A GERMAN
THE ELECTION of Field Marshal Von Ilindenljiu-g as president
of Germany, win bo ri'iifirdi'd as little less than j calamity.
The Field Marshal may be as' devoted to peaee, as his front
porch radio proclaimed, the possibility of Germany ever wae,'1'!-'
another war may be as preposterous as his supporters have as
serted; but nothing can convince the rest of the world that the ele
vation of tltis battle-scarred war-dor to tlfe highest place in the
German republic nieans anything less than the eventual collapse of
that republic and an attempt to return to that militarism and ruth
less 'imperialism, which the world was beginning to believe had
been buried by the Treaty of Versailles.
The election at this time is particularly unfortunate. Thanks to
the Dawes plan, and the ascendancy of liberal forces in France, the
clouds were starting to break over Middle Europe. War hatreds
wire slowly dying down, prejudices and suspicions were gradually
declining, and a general era of rehabilitation and reconstruction
appeared certain.
Now that hope, for the present at least, is doomed.
It makes no essential difference what Von Ilindenburg is or
what the precise political forces were which resulted in his victory,
the determining factor is what Von Ilindenburg appears to be. If
Germany can survive this final stupidity, without devastating sae
iifiees,then miracles in this modern world are not altogether impossible

WHEN a Chicago 'matron was asked if she would like to accom
pany tho Hoosevelt brothers on their expedition into the
hinterland of Asia, she displayed n flapper's thirst for romance and
adventure by. emphatically replying, "No, because I don't believe
it would be half as exciting or dangerous as living here in Chicago."
She was expressing a world of truth.
In the wild, uncivilized reaches of Asia, the two Rooscvells will
be in less danger of bodily harm than in Chicago or any other busy
American city. The danger of 'being trampled underneath by an
Asiatic bear or gored by ft mountain sheep will be immcasurcably
less than that ot being run down by n taxieab or truck in the wild
and rushing U. S: A. If a bund of Mongolian bandits kidnaps them
or sieafs their money 'bolts, two governments will quickly obtain
their release and restore their lost goods. In most any American
city they would he in constant danger of being robbed or shot down
by motor bandits with little hope of the restoration of their prop
erty or the avenging of their cold-blooded murder.
The adventurous used to go forth from the quiet Villages and
small cities into the wilderness for excitement and danger. Now
they come from the wilderness into the city for their adventures.
They find dodging automobiles more thrilling than slaying lions,
walking the streets Into at night more dangerous than stalking In
dians, and driving an automobile on congested city streets wilder
than roping longhorns. . ' .

A FOOL may drive his car some time, and not meet dire
disaster, although his driving is a crime, his progress fast
and faster. He laughs tho traffic rules to scorn, as framed for
female voters, and fails to' toot upon his horn when passing
other motors. He hogs the middle of the street, new kinds of
liorvc amassing, depending on tho folks he'll meet to give him
room for passing. Around the sudden curve he reels, accepting
deadly chances, bis auto running ou two wheels, like something
crazed advances. He sometimes lasts for quite a while before
the sextons lodge him, for careful drivers, free from guile, are
always prompt to dodge him. Most motorists are sane and wise,
the speed fan's notions bore them; they mind the rules and keep
their eyes upon tho road before them. They give tho scoff'aw
right of way when bo's careening madly, reflecting that some
future day will see him mangled badly. And some day when
this fan would tool more recklessly than ever, he runs across
another fool who makes the same endeavor. When two fools
meet in motor cam results are often shocking; the sound of the
collision jars the town and sets it roeiting. Morticians coio by

In my nlt'ht' school work In pay-,

organH of the fuce told your char

Is , there any truth
in Alt? W. U Li,
.i. u i. rJme idea that an
inilivicluars, character may bo read
from hla physiognomy probably does
not seem so foolish at night as it
does in broud daylight, but it re
mind us that, they teach a good deal
of downright foolishness in our com
mon and high schools every day.
One trouble is that the teachers do
not understand just what they are
trying to teach, nnd ps for some sub
jects,; at any rate lAtbody seems to
know just why they are taught. Take
ulgebra, for instance it is now 20
or 30 years Bince anybody knew why
it is taught, but the schools keep on
teaching it, hoping against hope that
some reason or purpose may be
brought to light again some day. Or
take what is variously known as
physiology or hygiene; tho average
teacher who takes this subject on
as a sideline assumes that almost
anything- that looks as though it
came out of a doctor book or a
patent medicine circular is pertinent,
and so some fearful and wonderful
stuff is taught under- the head of
physiology and hygiene, almost any
thing, in fact, except' human' phys
iology and hygiene,' t '
This Is not the first time I havo
referred to the idea of reading tho
charactor from the. physiognomy. I
have ridiculed the idea three or four
times before nnd drawn some scath
ing rebukes from pro bono, lover of
truth,, fair play and the others.
Way back yonder a person named
Lombroso, I believe, undertook to
establish a sort of criminal physiog
nomy, or to set up certain stigmata
of degeneration which j the expert
was to look for in members of ti
'criminal class," such peculiarities
ns prognathic lower jaw, highly
vaulted palate, narrow dental arches
oars disproportionate in size of form,
deviated nose and' so on. If serious
attention were paid to such trifles,
most good people would be in Jail
and most criminals would bo re
spected citizens.
Tho vague popular iancy that
there Is somo scientific ground for
tho notion of determining nn indi
vidual's aptitude1 qr natural bent or
proper calling by ft study of his fea
tures simply shows the power of
propaganda, for this notion arises
entirely, I think, from a well-conducted
publicity campaign in behalf
of a system which purported to teach
such a trick. As amusing as a table
rapping seance, but just piffle none
tho less until you quite lose your
wits. -

"A broken and contrite heart."
This is a common expression. Is it
possible to break a heart really?

tho seat of the mind. Please tell
me, doctor, if it is from my heart
that the cusswords spring when my
corn is trod on. 15. T. T.
Answer ; , The ancients imagined
tho heart was tho seat of the mind.
Tho word cordial means proceeding
from the heart, being derived from
tlie Latin word for heart, cor. Cross-1
word puzzle, makers must not uso
this, however, because the usual
medical term for the heart is car
dia, which Is Greek even to scholars.
Contrite means all broken up; Of
course rupture of the heart is pos
sible In certain disease conditions,
but a "broken heart" is figurative
merely. Sorrow and other donress-
' lng emotions impair the function of
! the heart more or less.
