It is believed that the "roughs Bre more hardy than the smooths," inas much as their pin-wire top coat and thick. "soft undercoat render them are mless impervious to climatic vagaries. Certainly they have a sporting look which appeals to all who love a lively

There is, however, not much to choose between them where intelligence and temperament are concerned. I think that of the twn the smooth is the Peppery..

The response to the invitation was an almost unanimous one, there being close on five hundred acceptances, exclusive of the general list, and it seemed that only distance (several of those invited being in Scotland and elsewhere remote) prevented the gathering from being a complete reusion of all who have been associated with Hongkong and who are now in Great Britain. The turn-out was very gratifying, the more especially as the weather was so inclement, to the Caramiswinner and those participating with him in the work at Wembley.

WILL ENGLAND GO 4" DRY "1?

++

MR. PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON'S VIEW.

EVERYONE A GENIUS. AND AN IDIOT AS WELL

Everyone of the unemployed is a "When will England go dry?" was genius at something if we could "only..

That was the con- the question addressed by a Morning discovar what." Post representative to Mr. Pussyfoot clusion expressed by Prof. O. Spearman, Jahnson, on his recent arrival in Lon-president of the Faychological Sections don from a propaganda tour in the of the British Association. Baltic States.

#That," said Mr Johnson,

is for England to dreide for herself. There is growing dissatisfaction against von ditions as they are, but your own drys themselves are not agreed as to what to do about it. We are none of us perfect; a lot of Yanks think they are-but just look at the Monkeyville business."

Mr. Johnson said he would like to add A tribute to the great service rendered by the Morning Post in ventilating the whole prohibition question in the debate between Lord Salvesen and Mr. Richard son.

"It is always good to hear the other fellow's point of view," he said. Papraially when it is as well ́put as it was in the articles."

"DRYS" SELL WHISKEY Among the countries visited by Mr. Jolinson daring his tour wore Eschonin, Lithuania, and Finland. Finland has pro hibition, and the other countries are rapid he preparing for it. In Lithuania, said Mr. Johnson, the Government is dry but the people are not, with the result that there is Government control of the salo of liquor. On the assumption that the Temperance Societies, are the people best fitted to control the disposal of alcohol the Government has handed the business over to them, so that if a man wants a bottle of whiskey he has to buy it from a Temperance Society,

A still more piquant situation arises from the fact that the Societies have n proportion of the takings, and are thus torn between controlling sales for their conscience' sake, and pushing them for the sake of their funds. In Esthonia where the Government is the drink and gives the Temperance Societies a percentage, the "drys" are held up in the building of their new headquar ters because there has not been enough drink sold!

"However," said Mr. Johnson. Where is really no hypocrisy about it, It may sound ridiculous to us, but it does represent an honest attempt to prepare the way for Frohibition. They enjoyed"] the joke as much as anybody else, and i were fully alive to the humour of the situation,

Asked as to the progress of, Prohibi-, tion in America, Mr. Johnson replied i that things were very much better now, One or - two very although there were dark spots left partielarly New York. Detroit, and the Canadian border.

Accepting the conclusion that an in- manso number of abilities varied from one individual to unether almost inde pendently of each other, how must such abilities of any person be distributed in respect of excellence By all experience the great bulk of his abilities would tend to ba medioere-they would be near the general average of his class. A fair number would be distinctly above, the average, and a fair number below. A small number would be much above; and so also below. At the extreme cads of the distribution would lie a very small number of performances for which the person was on the one sidő a genius, and on the other an idiot. Every for mal man, woman; and child was then a genius at something as well as an idiot at something. It remained to dis cover what-at any rate, in respect of the genius. This us he most difficult matter, owing to the very fact that i accurred in only a minute proportion out of all possible abilities. It certain-

could not be detected by any of the testing, procedures at present in current usage. But these procedures wern cap able of vast improvement.

"The preceding considerations have often appealed to me," concluded Dr. Spearman, an looking at a procession of the unemployed and hearing someone whisper that they are mostly the unem ployable. That they are so actually I cannot help concurring. But need they be so necessarily. Remember that every one of these, too, is a genius at some thing if we could only discover what. I cherish no illusion, indeed, that among them may be marching some inglorious Milton, some Cromwell guilt- less of his country's blood.' But I am quite confident that every one of them could do something that would make him a treasure in some great industrial. concern. And I see no reason why some should not have even become famous in such occupations, for example, as those of dancers, jockeys, or players of no- pular games
