Tenminutes on a golf reveals more not at work. for instance. about a. player's real character than a. week in his office. > You can also analyze a man by the recreation he instinctively seeks. Real leaders have taken to golf because it's a game in which they can actually participate as players. Unlike Unse- bail. a. form .f theatricnls in which spectators take no part except paying the bills. Recreation is the key to the psycho- logy of nations. the same as of indi- \lduals. The Germans accurately mirrored their national traits by their 'I‘urnveroin gymnastic and athletic movements—the members doing‘the same thing with a solidarity. sternncss and machine-like functioning as one united movement. This spirit, of sub- ordinating the individual to the or- ganization. “3's the war-time spirit of the German army and the home peo~ pic back of the lines. In countries which have the bull- iight as national recreation. the peo- ple naturally have the bull-fight spirit—especially hero-worship and explosive emotions. Did the bull- light spirit of the people create this bloody and cruel form of contest. or did the contest make the peoples sink to its own level? \V‘hich came first-— egg or chicken? The Chinese take to chess. domin- oes and gambling. in preference to ac- five physical sports. So naturally the Chinese are speculative.business peo- ple. with philosophical chess brains. and not inclined toward physical con- tests such as fist lights or war. America and England have the Anglo-Saxon team spirit. which use serts itself in games like cricket, Lasc- ball and football. Each player constantly tries to make a star play for himself. but his individualism does not make him for- get that the team comes first. So one player is constantly watching to cover or neutralize the errors of his team-mates. ' Under this team attitude there is a genuine sporting spirit such or you rind-in no other nations. The team may be beaten, but there is no per- sonal humiliation involved. The loser cheers the victor, the victor cheers the loser. They shake hands and practically forget the game, getting ready for another. The British fought the Boers. Then.“ about 15 years later. you found the Boers helping the British fight. The team spirit had drawn them into the British team. The French have no team spirit in their personalities. For swrt. they turn to fencing—two opponents. one to be victor. one the vanquished. It's all highly individualistic, no co- operation. not getting together and shaking hands after the duel. Probably this explains why France is unable to do team work even with her closest war-time-ally. England. “France goes it alone.” -———__.._____.__ Gambling.

One reason for Mah Jougg’l POPU- larity in its cost. A standard set sells from $18.74 up into the hundreds. Americans usually buy things be- cause they are extremely cheap or expensive.

If every American chipped in 8200. our whole national debt could be wiped out overnight. That v’ll not 'be done. but itld be the quickest and cheapest way to get rid of the bur- den.

Facts About Tlns Little Gam eRetams: ItsxropoIarity so Income _; Tax In the returns of married persons many errors have been discovered be- cause of the failure to account for the aggregate net income of husband. wife. and dependent minor children. for example. John Smith. an artisan. had a net income for 1922 of $2.100- His wife earned 81.400 as a stenog- rapher. and two sons, 15 and 17 years old. earned $720 each as messengers. The exemption is 82.500. the family income being less than 85.000. plus a $400 credit for each dependent son. a total of 83.300. Deducted from 84.940, the combined family. income. this leaves a ttwable net income of $1.640. which. however_ may be fur- there reduced by deductions of bay- ments of interest. contributions. bad debts. etc.. to be fully explained later. Separate returns may be made by NURWAiJé’F; BosrsN RUG ST husband and wife. or they may make a combined return. In band or wife may claim the exemption allowed married persons. 'or they may divide it between them in such pro- portion as they choose. The one con- tributing the chief support may chum the $400 for each dependent. The $400 credit for dependents is allowed only when she person is under 18 years of age or' ncapable of self-support because mentally or phy- sically detective. In ‘he above ex- ample the sons are dependents be- cause both are under 18 years of age.
