It is not only mere bounce, It Is self-confidence that vanishes under the conviction^ of a first real blunder. Or take the case of the typist who Is loudly contemptuous of every other girl in the office because they make mistakes In spelling and she'^we!!, she doesn't. "There Is no excuse for bad spell lng," she Informs the office at large, "If you have had even a county coun cil school education and are not ridic ulously careless." Then one day she types a letter to the chief's most particular client, a learned lord, asking "weather" he could see him that week. . The few sarcastic remarks on care lessness madevby the chief rankle so deeply that the office atmosphere ?le velops a purple sform aura from which the angry typist emerges minus her Job. It Is decidedly safer to make a little human mistake now and again In place of getting , upon a pedestal of perfection, which gives one such nasty bruises when the topple-over comes. Perhaps It is In the long run Just as had to be too perfect as too full of errors. People do not expect such a wonderful lot from the person who never makes any mistakes. The generals or admirals who hav? nothing to learn from their staff, the teaehers or scientists who throw aside all textbooks because they hare reached to perfect knowledge, the business men or housewives who run their affairs as they did five years ago boflfuse they are "not given to making mistakes, and their way Is the only right way"? all these people are liable to get a nasty shock some day.

Ignorant us I am, I nitty In* till ? r<mg when I say that It seems iq jne ihut nobody dart's to be a* moral nowadays a* ulimmt everybody did, *uy, a hum 4rad years ago. Hubert M. < J tiy writes In the Atlantic. Monthly. We were . pretty moral in my yo^ith ? much inure so than today;, but nothing to 'what IK'Ojde were lit In that simple era the uew morality and higher etlilcx hail never been heard of. and. a* a consequence, everybody knew* exactly what was moral and what was not. The people of that day would have been extremely puzzled by many of the problem* propounded in our contempo rary plays and noveln. Running off with another man's wife, for example, was a custom or habit, which they could never excuse, for the* had not come to realize now exceedingly com plex, and even Intricate, the motives may be which lead one to do It. For them It simply was not right; and If anyoijp lu the neighborhood did It, they did not hesitate to write a let ter to the newspaper and say what they thought of him. They were too^prliul tlVe to realize how difficult it Is to de cide for or against so unconventional an action, vr ho'w many biological, psy- ( chologlcal, sociological, and economic questions one must consider before one can do It with a clear conscience. In their day, of course, men did run off with other men's wives. Just as they do today; hut they seem to have done so Impulsively, and they would Have been quick to admit that In doing so they were Immoral. The burden of public opinion upon' ardent souls was, therefore, much more severe than It Is upon our contemporary heroes and heroines who live In an age of acute Intellectuality. ? Anil yet, for the great mass of souls that were not particularly ardent, the period must have been a comfortable one to live in. For even though their own moral problems might at times seem Intricate, those of their neigh bors were always very simple ; and when they spoke of their neighbors' actions they always had one definite rule to guide them ? "A thing Is either right or It Isn't." " In a world which Is cohiplex enough, at best, to have even one rule so easy to apply Is a tfreat. convenience ; and H seems possible that the rarity of nen rnsthenla among them can be traced to their possession of so simple a for mula. Brig of Ayr Is Saved. Scotsmen all over the world will rejoice at the favorable conclusion of a movement which has strikingly evinced the hold of Robert Burns over the hearts of his fellow-countrymen. By the pressure of Scottish public opinion, the Ayr (Scotland) town council at last has been forced to aljpndon the proposed scheme to re claim part of the bed of the River Ayr above the harbor between the Auld and New Brigs of Ayr. Some time ago, when the matter was first mooted, the proposals were widely discussed in the press as likely to in- ; terfere with the amenity of the Auld } Brig of Ayr, immortalized by Robert ! Burns, On the recommendation, also, : of the Ancient Board of Scotland, the government office of works has decid ed to include the Auld Brig In the lint of national monuments. This means that the local authorities of Ayr cannot In the future, without glv- i Ing notice, do nnything In the way of , demolishing, removing in whole or I parts, structurally altering or making I additions to the munument.

Plans Unique Memorial to World War Heroes Oakland, Cal. ? Names of 84,324 heroes who died In the World war, today repose in a vault in the allied memorial center hern, The momorLal, a majestic monument of steel and stone, was erected on the banks of Lake Merrltt, in the heart of Oakland, for the purpose of holding the names of every allied soldier, sailor or nurse killed In the World war. ! Dr. Leroy F." Herrick of Oakland, who erected and maintains the me morial at his own expense, states that In time he hopes to have the names i of every participant of the World war r tn the huge vault of the allied me morial center. Dr. Herrick stated that the Cana dian authorities have promised to sup ply a complete list of the soldier and sailor dead of Canada. "I do not know how long it is going , to take me to get the names the 1,500,000 soldier <|?ad of France," said Dr. Herrick. "The French authorities have not finished compiling the list. I expect to have the Australian and New Zealand lists in time for next Armistice day, but I do not know how long It will tflke to get complete* lists from England. Belgium, Italy and other allies. "The names In the vault today are all American, with the exception of 145 nf Brazil's war dead." The monument has the portraits of Washington. Lincoln.

Introduction of Iodine Into children's diet as an effective means of combating goiter is the sub ject of an experiment now being con ducted In the -kitchens of the American relief administration in Austria. The best method employed, according to a* recent issue of the A. It. A. Bulletin, has been the substitution of Iodine salt for table suit. This method was previously used with success in Switzerland, where golfer is ino?t prevalent, by Prof. Wagner-JHure?:g. Experiments In the schools were supplemented by sys tematic Internal use of iodine. In ; 8<>m<* s<'ho?i|s the teachers gave iodine ; tablets dally to the children.
