Very few people know themselves. In all probability no one actually does. Self-consciousness is the feeling a per- son has when the fictitious picture he has built up of himself is thrown upon the screen for public scrutiny. Those who have stage fright are merely aware, for the moment, that their fictitious selves are being exhibited, and they fear that some of the fiction may be exploded. So it appears that the most important factor in a person’s fictitious self is his so-called “social self.” Dr. Alfred Adler is author of the theory that every person lives a fictitious life. "He pictures the individual as un- conscious of the aims and urges which shape and determine his conduct. He calls these the “imaginary goals” and “fictitious guiding lines.” He says that these goals are set up very early in life; that the individual as a child realizes that he is weak, that he cannot make his adjustments alone. So the child makes up for the facts of reality by assuming abilities he does not' possess. A fictitious picture of the self is the result. There is much-to be said in favor of the Adlerian theory. Weakness and the compensation for it have a lot to do with what people think of themselyes. His theory .will account for.race antip- athy, the “blue blood” myth and all sorts of class distinctions which some people try to make. The man who ‘talks most about the virtues of his race is pretty generally one whose race or nation is weak or inferior in the eyes of other races or nations. The man or woman who dotes on the greatness of his or her noble ancestors is more than likely suffering from an exposure of the fiction which he or she is trying to live up to. Remove the mask, and they begin to talk about the dead selves from whom they are de- scended. Real folks have little to say about their ancestors. The fiction build- ers weary their neighbors to the point of distraction. The curious fact about the fictitious self is that it has three dimensions. It exists in the present, refers to the past and projects into the future. Success- ful people know little about their past. If they do, they soon learn to forget it. We all live in the now. Paint your picture of yourself out of present ma- terials, and you will come close to repre- senting yourself as you are. (Copyright, .1929.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Learning Value of Coins. One mother says: To teach children the denomination and value of our several coins I got an assoriment and we played with them. I taught first the value of 100 cents in a dollar, 50 cents in half a dollar, 25 in a quarter, 10 in a dime and 5 in a nickel. Then we took the dollar apart 5 i i | | ! an'! made it up of two 50-cent pieces, then the 50 made two quarters, the quar- ter made two dimes and a nickel and a dime made two nickels. And so on. The children get very much interesfed in such work and learn quickly. I tell them also of the danger of putting coins in their mouths. Each child has his own little purse, which he has earned by giving the correct answer to the “money problems” I have given him. (Copyright, 1929.) A Sermon for Today . BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Have You Written Home? Text: “Come and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us."—I Sam., ix.5. “The asses of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to Saul, his son, Take now one of the servants with thee and arise, go seek the asses.” After three days of searching the asses had not been found. And then Saul said to his servant, “Come, let us return; lest my father leave caring for | the asses, and take thought for us.” This remark indicated a commenda- ble thoughtfulness on the part of Saul. As a commentator on this incident writes: “Would that all our young men and women, especially those who are away from home in our great cities, -would be a little more con- siderate of the heartstrings stretched even to breaking, and the eyes that often brim with tears because the tidings of their welfare are so scanty and intermittent.” Saul feared the effect of three days, without tidings, on his father! What would his father have thought of three weeks or months without tidings? What must be the anxiety of the fathers and mothers k home who have been waiting in vain, perhaps for weeks and weeks, to hear from absent sons and daughters? A few days ago Iwasina Y. M. C. A. building and noticed on the bulletin board the following in large letters: “Have You Written Home?” It was then that this little sermon was born. 1 have a son and daughter away from Home and I thought of how anxiously we at home watch the mails for their letters.

EAR MISS DIX: I am a young married woman out working solely to support my mother. I have a home, but cannot enjoy it because my mother needs my help, although one sister also helps take care of her. 1 cannot give my husband the happy home and children he longs for because I cannot afford to quit my job, which I could do if I did not have to support her. My husband and I have an automobile, and on Sundays we either go calling | or riding, as that is the only day we can be together, and we like to be alone on that day. My mother is furious with me, and accuses me of neglecting her because we don't come and take her with us, but this spolls our day, as my husband is bitter toward her on account of my having to go out and work for her, and thus deprive him of what he is lawfully entitled to. How can I settle this problem? MRS, B. A, Answer: You can't. The only one who could settle it is your mother, and she is not big enough and unselfish enough to do it, because it would require her to sacrifice her comfort and pleasure for you. If she loved you enough to put your happiness before her own, she would realize that it is oniy natural that you and your husband would wish to be alone on the only day you can be’ together, ‘and she would not insist upon going with you and making an undesired third? . One might think that she would be willing to do this out of gratitude toward you, but it is curious how little appreciation so many parents have of what their children do for them. They seem to think that it is no more than | their children’s duty to support them and to make them first in their lives, and so their demands never cease either upon their own children or those they marry. Of course, it is children’s duty to provide for their parents to the best of their ability, but on their part the parents might temper justice with mercy and make the burden as light as possible. They might, at least, remember that when their children marry thelr husbands and wives have a prior claim on them, and not insist upon always living with them or being with them. There are no more heart-breaking tragedies than those caused by a husband and mother each pulling at the heartstrings of a woman who is both wife and daughter, each seeking to monopolize her and demanding her services as their' due. Many a woman has her life ruined and her health wrecked by her nerves being kept at the breaking point all the time in trying to keep the peace between her husband and mother, and to satisty the insatiable and conflicting demands of both upon her. ' You Have my sympathy, Mrs. B. A,, but the only advice I.can offer you is the situation hefore your mother and to try to make her appreciate your position.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1929. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 9, 1861.—The Federal au- thorities have taken measures, it was announced in the press today, to con- centrate United States regular troops in Washington at the time of the in- auguration of Mr. Lincoln, on March 4 next, in sufficient numbers to take care of any of the alleged “threats” that have come from Southern sources that Mr. Lincoln's inauguration would never be allowed to take place. Many _| of the troops are already here and oth- ers are arriving in small detachments from nearby military posts. The so-called Peace Conference is still meeting here and keeping up its eflorts to effect a settlement of the dif- ficulties between the free and slave- holding States. It appeared today that in case the conference fails to agree upon a compromise plan, the Maryland delegation will press on the conference the proposition for calling a national convention, thus transferring the whole matter direct to the people. ‘The meetings of the conference have thus far been harmonious, and while little progress has been made, there is an evident desire on the part of the members of the conference “not to dis- agree.” The election today in Tennes- see of candidates to a possible national convention, if the State follows the lead of Virginia, is expected to have a very favorable effect on the delibera- tions of the Peace Conference. The latest news from Charleston, S. C., is that 44 laborers and 96 Federal soldiers, including officers, are remain- ing in Fort Sumter, Charleston Har- bor, with sufficient supply of provisions and ammunition to hold the fort for the present, in case of attack by thc State troops of South Carolina. No re- inforcements in men have heen receiv- ed by the fort since the present diffi- culty arose. Returns of the national census of 1860, available today, show a surpris- ingly large increase in the slave pop- ulation—surprising, in view of the propaganda to the effect that “slavery is dying cut.” In every slave State, except Delaware, Maryland and Missouri, the slave pop- ulation during the last decade has in- creased at nearly the same ratio as that of the free popuiation, white and col- ored. In the aggregate, the growth of the slave populaticn in the 15 slave States has kept pace with that of the whole United States—that is, to say, it shows an increase of about 30 per cent in 10 years. NANCY PAGE Lacey Girls Will Be in Beige and Brown. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Mrs. Lacey had taken advantage of the Winter sales and had laid by a supply of materials for the children's Spring clothes. When one has three daughters to clothe, and when one makes most of the wardrobes one’s self, it means careful shopping and early sewing. For one outfit she chose beige heavy round-thread linen and brown flannel. The oldest daughter, Claire, who had just recently expressed the clothes in- be expected dependence which- ma; ad a tuck-in from a 13-year-old girfy blouse and & pleated flannel skirt. two younger girls had their dresses made of the linen. The same scal- loped closing was used on all three. So, too, the pockets were made with scal- loped edge. 7 ‘The coats which the girls wore with these dresses were made of brown flan- nel. The oldest girl had a collarless jacket closing simply at the neck. The coats which went with Pam’s and Ju- dith’s dresses reached almost to bottom of frock. Just enough of dress showed to give continuity to the costume. The turnover collars of dress completed the coats at neck. All three girls wore beige stockings or socks and tan ox- fords. Their shoes gave an accent to beige and brown outfits. Judith and Pam wore beige berets, while Claire’s hat was of felt with brown ribbon at base of crown. ‘The outfits sounded so interesting that little Pam, who was still in bed with the measles, could scarcely wait until she would be well enough to have her dress fitted.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,, February 9.— Fame is as nothing when notoriety en- ters the lists. Thus it is that a group of newspaper folk, drawn to a remote radio station in the hills above Holly- wood to see David Wark Griffith and hear him broadcast a speech from Schenectady through the newest radio process, came away babbling of only one thing. Kenneth Ormiston was the expert in_charge of the experiment! I arrived late, due to use —or overuse—of tires that were crav- ing permanent retirement. But I hoped to hear something of D. W.—how he ap in the vision box of the ma- chine and just what he said. His appearance was as fleeting as any high-powered ghost that ever walked. There were those who said they saw the Griffith eyes, and some who affirmed that for a bit the face of the speaker was distinctly clear. The majority missed out, and saw nothing but a blank spot. They heard Griffith clearly, though. I managed to pry this much informa- tion out of the assembled group. But I heard the big thrill discussed on every side. Most of these newspaper people had covered the Aimee Semple Mc- Pherson case and had tried to find Kenneth Ormiston, radio operator of Angelus Teniple, when he was missin ;.

Everyday Law Cases Is Prisoner Justified in Escaping Because of Unhealthful Condition of Jail? BY THE COUNSELLOR. While serving a sentence in the County Jail, John Winter was placed in solitary confinement for the infraction of a rule prohibiting the prisoners from fighting. While thus confined, he es- caped from the cell, and was appre- hended on top of the wall, while he wag attempting to escape. “In his defense on the charge of at- tempting to escape, Winter told the court that the cell was in an unhealth- ful condition: that there was no chair, or other reasonable com- forts, and that he was not givep suf- ficlent bread and water. In holding the escape unjustified, the court stated: “The prisoner was sent to jail upon a conviction of the crime of larceny.

She refused to allow the piano-playing son in the tale to be changed into a violin-playing daughter. More power to her! She's getting away with more than writers in Hollywood can.
