From France comes a news story which shows that all the great men lot the nation do not perform the deeds for which they become great in the tn! view of the public eye. The nation is mourning the death of one of its great citizens, great becausa lof his achievements: in his own | hosen occupation. Yet he was [neither an artist, a <coldier, nor a {man of letters. He was simply a cook, but the greatest of all cooks in the country. Leopold Mourier, tha {man for whom the nation is mourn- {ing, was no mere burner of toast or {scrambler of eggs. He was the cook of perfection, the men who caterwl to the tastes of the nobility of Eur- {ope in one of the exclusive hotels of | Paris and satisfied them in such a manner that his name and his fame whole continent.

What an object lesson there is In| Hfe for people of all by this man's (classes. Only | men of the world are not all found in the high positions. There is just as much virtue in doing a small task | well, as in doing a big one. A man [can find greatness in doing the men- {1al things of the world to tha full ex- |tent of his ability, just as he can {become great as a leader of men. {The great men of the world are not always those who are constantly in the limelight. In the humblest walks of everyday life, there are. tens of thousands of men and women who are worthy of the highest honours {which can be bestowed on them, be- |cause they are doing their allotted tacks well, because they are work- ing to be the best in their own par- ticular line of endeavour.

Desloges, {the director of asylums for the prov- ince of Quebec. The question was not put forward because of the chao- tic conditions which have existed in' | Europe since 1914, nor because of | |the forces which have been let loose | |A New Device Enables Busi- in the fight between capital and la- | bour in some parts of the world, nor does it apply to the results of thas It is a straightforward question addressed to the ordinary men and women of our day, and it applies to the gen- eral mental and physical conditions Dr. Desloges has found to in following his profession. The answer which he supplies is that in twenty-five years or so, near- ly the whole civilized world will have become insane, or will be on the way to becoming insane, unless something is done to stop the rapid increase in mental derangements. This answer is backed up by his statement that the past yéar has been a record one for the number of cases of insanity treated, not only in his own province of Quebeis, but over the whole world. There is a strong note of warning in what this noted alienist has to say. Mental derangement is but one of the inevitable results of the er- traondinary conditions of intensity and excitement which have existed in the world for the past few years. Ever since the great war threw the world off its balance in 1914, noth- ing has been normal. Even to-day there is not a normal condition of affairs.

Chicago, April 26.--Professor Delton F. Howard, of -the Psycho- logy Department of the Northwest- ern University submitted his char- acter determining machine to the whole faculty te-day. It wis approv- ed. The instrument differs from previ- gus devices designed to measure re- (actions in that it employs the entire body instead of merely the finger tips. The subject to be tested sits before a keyboard like the consols yof a pipe-organ and works two ped- als and five levers In response to visual signals which fall into aper- tures in front of him. Professor Howard believes that the testing machine will eventually be of value to business houses in de- termining the intelligence of em- Tloyees. +» "It is impossible, of course to gay after a half hour test whether a man will make a goed aeronaut or a good civil engineer or a good sea captain," the {Inventor admitted. "But it is possible to tell what a per- son's characteristics are." In the main there are four types' of people--the bluff fellow who knows all about it; the 'leaner' who, srhen. something goes wrong, at once turne to you for ; the ner- vous chap, who Nets all balled up,' and the individual who goes at his task deliberately ond works stelgdily.

Something wrong with the com- pression. When the gas is exploding and pushing against the piston its whole force should be expended on the one spot. Why isn't it giving you the power? Because there is a leak some- where. Perhaps some carbon has got on the valve, it doesn't close properly, and allows an escape of gas or power. Now what about the compression in that body of yours? Remember you didn't get a chance to select your own car, it was se- lected for you. But just the same you were presented with a car when you were given that body. It may be just a little car of low horse power, but quite capable of doing all the bodily work you'll ever need to do. Or it may be a large high-power- ed physical body capable of heavy work. Well, it really doesn't matter which because they both need the same attention. Are you expending any thought on it when you find the compression getting weak? It you find yourself losing your desire for work mental or physical, don't you think you should look abgqut for the leak?
