CREATING DEMAND
President Coolidge in a recent ad
dress, dwelt upon the service render
ed by advertising. He showed how
advertising creates demand, and if it
was not for demand, goods could not
be sold.
If all advertising were to stop for
a year, American business would be
ir. a terrible hoie. The demand for
commodities would be greatly reduced,
many factories could not got enough
orders to run on, many concerns would j
fail because of the lack of business
and inability to work off their goods.
The result would come near prostrat
ing American industry.

THE DAVIDSON-P. C. BREAK
The official announcement from Da
vidson college that football affilia
tions with Presbyterian college have
been severed, does not come as a sur
prise. A rumor for several weeks has
been circulating to this effect ,and the
public is glad that the athletic author
ities of Davidson have at last come
cut in the open and confirmed the re-
pert.
If Davidson desires to drop Pres
byterian college from its schedule,}
that is its privilege, but it shows a
peer spirit of sportsmanship. If I
there are two teams above othqrs that
should meet on the gridiron, it occurs
to us they are P. C. and Davidson, j
representing as they do the Presby-1
terians of the Carolinas with many j
graduates and friends of both institu
tions scattered ovci the two states.
The game has always been a drawing
card and has held a conspicuous place
on the schedules. When it ha? been
suggested lately, through the press,
that the two institutions would prob
ably not meet next year, there has
been a general

A common slang phrase now is “Bo SS
yourself.” ~
It is used in various instances. li
lt has a good deal of intelligence EE
in it. Few people object to you when . ss
your motives are considered to be sin- s
cere and genuine. You are only ob-
.ectionable when you put on motives
that do not belong to you.
Ihe thing people do not like most
of all is to have you think you can
deceive them. As long as your actions
are genuine and real, they know how
to deal with them, but when they are
convinced that you are endeavoring
to overcome them by trying to borrow
words or actions or motives from
someone else they do not like it.
So they tell you to “be yourself.”
t)f course we cannot express all of
our emotions of feelings perfectly.
There is a certain amount of self-
control required by ordinary decency
but at least those feelings that we
j express should be those that are ours
unquestionably and not those we think
we sl&uld have.
A good many people are sorry for
themselves, not because of the hard
time they have, but becauM of the
hard time other people think they
ought to' be having. It is very easy
for a preacher or an actor or some
such a one to think that he is working
hard when everybody says that he is.
If he would honestly look at himself
and consult his own feelings alone, he
would realize that he is not working
hard at all.
Self-pity arises from a sort of bor-
rowed notion of ourselves.
Oliver Wendell Holmes said that
there were several Johns in one per
son—the man John is, the man John
thinks he is, and the man John othe;
people think he is.
If everyone of os could distinguish
between the man we are and the mat.
