EDITOR GETS IN BAD
An Oklahoma editor just going to
press, ’pied’ a couple of articles, one
concerning a public sale and the other
a write up of a wedding. He asked the
office devil to get the two articles to-
gether—and he did. Here is how he
put the two together, and the mixture
was not known to the editor until an
angry preacher and the mother of the
bride appeared on the scene:
“William Smith and Miss Lucy
Anderson were disposed of at public
auction at my barn one mile east of a
beautiful cluster of roses on her
breast, and two white calves before
background of farm implements too
numerous to mention in the presence
of about seventy guests including two
milk cows, six mules and a bob sled.
Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial knot
with 200 feet of hay rope; the bridal
couple left on the John Deere gang
plow for an .extended trip with terms
to suit purchaser. They will be at
home to their friends with one good
wheelberrow and a fair kitchen uten-
sils, after 20 months from date of sale
to responsible parties and some fifty
chickens.”—Exchange.
Jewelers fashion delicate designs

GIVE THE CHILDREN
A BETTER CHANCE
A great many things are blamed on
heredity that really should be blam-
ed not on heredity at all but on
early environment.
A woman told me one day that she
had been almost struck by lightning
when she was a yofing girl, that she
had been terribly afraid of it ever
since, and that her two children had
inherited this fear.
Now according to the latest find-
ings of biologists, they could not pos-
sibly have inherited this fear be-
cause it was an acquired characteris-
tic, and acquired characteristics are
not inherited.
“But,” the woman would retort if
I attempted to tell her this (which I
didn’t she isn’t the kind to whom you
try to tell'things) “they are terribly
afraid of lightning and they have
never been in any danger from it.
How can you explain that?”
An adopted child would have in-
herited it.
The explanation would be easy. I
was in her home once when a thun-
der-storm approached. At the first
rumble of thunder she grew pale and
began to rush about the house closing
windows, calling the children to join
her In a room which she felt for
some reason was the safest part of
the house. AD through the storm
they Mt in thia room with the win
daws dosed. Whenever a heavy
tlnxnderbolt came, the mother trem-
bled and the children trembled with
her. That la the-sort of scene which
has .bean enacted since their earlist
infancy during thunder-storms. Is
it strange that they associate the
idea of fear with thunder and light-
ning? If this woman had brought up
an adopted child with them would It
not have just the same association?
People who thus act out their own
fears of one sort or another before
the younger generation are implant-
ing a very unfortunate seed in the
child’s mind that will bear a crop of
fears and inhibition to hamper and
disturb its whole adult life.
A great many of these fears and
inhibitions and notions of one sort or
another that we think we get by
heredity we really gei by environ-
ment. Hie idea suggested to us by
our parents in some way gets so
deeply imbedded that we think we
have inherited it. *
TW Drt,
We may inherit some race fears
__hut we don’t inherit individual tears.

THE TIME
SUCCESSFULLY PRESENTED
The play, “The Time of His Life,”
presented by the Clifton College play-
ers at the Auditorium Thursday, May
1, under the auspices of the Athletic
Association, was a grand success. A
large audience witnessed the presen-
tation and much enthusiasm was
shown. Such is the best encourage-
ment that can be given to actors.
Lawrence Westley, acting the man
with a weak digestion, kept the audi-
ence in high spirits. Ernest Reesing
kept the audience guessing through-
out. Della Nelson and Eddie B. Stan-
hiser played their parts well nigh
perfectly. Ervin Christenson, as a
colored butler, came in for his part of
the fun. E. B. Harris, looking very
ill at ease, acted the peppery role.
Millard Knudson and Joel Grimland
also fit perfectly into the play. Pearl
Orbeck couldn’t have been given a
more fitting role.
Each player in the cast played his
role well, and the play itself is of the
type that can be presented to any
audience and draw deserving applause.
To determine how much dust the
average individual breathes, the Gov-
ernment has detailed a weather-bu-
reau expert to make an actual count
of the particles in the air at the top
of one of the buildings at Washing-
ton. Every day for the past year the
test has continued. The grains are
collected in a machine and then they
are counted under a microscope, some
being so small that they can scarcely
be distinguished under the lens.
SUNDAY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Pontifical March, (Guonod).

Jesus Name”—Audience.
Invocation—Rev. C. F. Brown.
Anthem, “Teach Me, O Lord,”

Raines.
Sermon—Rev. Ernest C. Webb, of the

Hymn, “Oh, For a Thousand
Tongues”—Choir.
Benediction—Rev. J. E. Mullins.
And even fears that we regard as in
born in the race may come to us
from imitation rather than instinct
I once saw a father who was of an
investigating turn of mind hold out
s tiny snake (perfectly harmless of
course) to his year old daughter;
she crowed with delight, reached out
and if not prevented, would have
promptly conveyed it to the recepta-
cle into which young ladies of her age
put every posession.
That certainly didn’t show any in-
born fear did it?
Every fear that we have in our
sub-conaciouaness is a handicap that
we have to carry. We certainly don’t
need handicaps. Let us be careful
then, hour by oar example and our
habit of talking about our own
KUosynerMtes and tears we plant
such Ideas ia the highly suggestive
minds «f our children.
