Reply. This is a knotty question. The first part of it may be readily answered. There are all degrees of meaning what you say. You may mean it a little, but ot as strongly as you say it: enough to give warning, but not fo insult | deeply. There's always a struggle be- | tween a justified anger and considera- | tion for the other party; we want to be | severe but not brutal. 'Anger may get | the upper hand and we say far more than we in our saner moments mean. | You may remember the old Greek say- | ing: I appeal from Phillip drunk to Phillip sober. So the appeal of con- sclence is from yourself in anger to| yourself in reason, | The next point is not so simple. The | idea that we have two separate minds, | one a conscious and the other a sub- | conscious mind, s not quite correct. ‘We have one mind rather complicatedly made up. When you are struggling with a decision and at last announce | that you have made up your mind, you mean that having weighed all the con- siderations pro and con (and they may be partly conscious or acknowledged and partly subconscious and i knowledged), you have decided wh ! and to have enough sorts to satisfy | the requirements of every occasion. | designed for actual | because they really are smart at the |is held in piace by lacings at the in-| | step is usually much more comfortable | an opera pump.

Some women follow | the policy of getting only two or three pairs of shoes at a time—and then wear them for every and all occasions | so that they may be ready within a few months to buy new shoes of & later design. My own experience has been that it is wiser and more economical to select shoes of a less extreme model ‘The low, broad-heeled sports shoe: sports are really not appropriate for the so-called semi- sports dress or sult. There are oxfords or strap pumps of medium heels that are much more in keeping. _Usually the really high-heeled shoe does not look right with the semi-sports en- semble, At present many well dressed | women reserve really high-heeled shoes | for evening wear and for wear with the | lighter, more flaring sort of afternoon dress fords are favoted by many women | for street wear this Spring. not only | present time, but because a shoe that in warm weather than a strap pump or | Italian quilting, which does not add at all to the warmth or the weight | of the dress or wrap on which it is used, is very smart this season.

Furthermore, it is true, as Freud insists, that now and then we let & word or .an act slip through to the | muscles which we were trying to sup- press. We do let the cat out of the bag. Extend this idea a bit and it means that | there is at times a bit of motive in what we regard as an accident. So Freud tells us that at times we | los> what in an unacknowledged sonse} ‘we want to lose or not to find. He tells | the story of a husband who when not‘ on good terms with his wife couldn't find a paper he was looking for: but who, when he was reconciled, found it readily enough. There is another tale of a “subconscious” so well trained | that when its owner smoked too much | he couldn't find his pipe, so carefully had the subconscious mislaid it. ~And somebody has added that unwelcome wedding presents get broken. You lose | and break what you have a grudge | agains and you forget what is un-| pleasant, The principle is quite right, but you can carry it too far. Certainly the “lost and found” departments show that people lose things that they cherish and offer rewards for their recovery. So when this correspondent asks me to explain why he wrote every when he meant ever, and why he wrote time when he meant thing, I reply that it was probably haste or confusion or accident, and that it won't do to try to read & bit of unconscious motive into every act or slip of the tongue or pen or hand. In brief, the relations between the (rather more) consciously and the (rather more) subconsciously organized mechanisms of cur expressions is too complex to follow The subconscious pla; now and then an unwanted and dis- turbing one. The rest is too complex for a simple answer (Copy t, 1929.) | kopecks from my poke |0 THE EVENING A Sermon for Today | . JORN R. GUNN. Remembrance for Mother. “Behold they mother!” John, ‘This was one of the last words of Jesus on the cross. Commenting on it, Longfellow wrote: “Even He who died for us upon the cross, in the last hour, in the unutterable agony of death, was mildful of His Mother, as if to teach us that this holy love should be our last worldly thought—the last point of earth from which the soul should take its flight for heaven.” It is a matter of common note how many of the world’s great men have left on record some word in which is revealed a grateful and tender remem- brance of their mothers. Speaking in remembrance of his mother, MacCauley wrote: “Never can I forget her sweet glances cast upon me when I appeared asleep; never her kiss of peace at night. Years have passed away since we laid her beside my father in the churchyard: yet still her voice whispers from the grave, and her eye watches over me, as I visit spots long since hallowed to the memory of my mother.” ‘When gruff old Dr. Johnson was 50 years old he wrote to his aged mother as if he was still her way- ward but loving boy: “You have been the best mother and I believe the best woman in the world. I thank you for the indulgence to me, I beg forgive- ness for all that I have done ill and all that I have omitted to do well.” Another Mother's day approaches. And it is a fitting time for us all, great and small alike, to express the grati- tude we owe our mothers. ‘“Behold thy mother.” Remember the love she has lavished upon you. Let not Moth- er's day pass without some remem- brance for mother. J | Unappreciated - CE——— Our magistrate, J. Jimpson Jones, | surprised us t'other day: “I fine my- | self some seven bones.” we, startled, heard him say. “While thinking of nportant files of papers in my den, T find T hit up twenty miles in zones that call for ten.

One sketched at Everyday Law Cases May Promise to Pay Debt Extin- guished by Creditor’s Composi- tion Be Enforced? Henry Bell, being insolvent, called a meeting of creditors and offered to settle his debts at 50 cents on the dol- lar. The creditor accepted Bell's offer and a composition agreement was drawn up. Subsequent to the composition agree- ment, Bell's condition improved and he was asked by the State bank, which had taken a large loss at the compo- ition, whether he cared to make good he loss now that he was able. Bell promised that he would and made out a series of promissory notes for the amount. - When the notes fell due Bell decided not to pay them, asserting that there was no consideration supporting his promise, as his old debt had been can- celed by the composition agreement. The bank thereupon brought suit on v& Meet Crushy’ at the Soda Fountainfi the notes, pointing out that a moral consideration is sufficient to enforce a promise to pay a debt extinguished by bankruptey or insolveney proceedings and that the principle should be the same in creditor composition cases. The court, however, in accordance with the rule most generally followed, %smmd the case against Bell, stat- g: “A debt released by a composition assented to by all the creditors is ex- tinguished and cannot form the con- sideration of a new promise.” D. C., THURSDAY, MAY 39, 1929. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. May 9, 1862—Capts. Bailey and Boggs of Commodore Farragut's command, | arrived at the Navy Department this morning, bringing full official dis- patches relating to the operations of the Union fleet in the Mississippi River and various_trophies of the recent victories | —the Secession flags lately flying over Ports Jackson and St. Phillip and over the City Hall at New Orleans. A large number of public officials gathered around the officers in the room of the Secretary of the Navy and evinced deep interest in their verbal explanations of various yet unwritten incidents of the naval campaign in that quarter. An investigation of present conditions in the OId Capitol Prison shows that the | number of prisoners of war and political | prisoners confined there now is about 100, all of whom, with the exception of two men in the hospital, appear to be as healthy and cleanly as any other | collection of the same number of per- sons to be found anywhere. | Each prisoner has his bunk, cot, good | mattress, blankets, sheets and bed cover, which are as clean as those in any | hotel. There are two large bathing | rooms, supplied with hot and cold water free, which, of course, has much to do | with the remarkable health, cleanliness and good spirits of the prisoners. The kitchen is supplied with a large hotel range and the provision room is full of as good food as is found in a | good hotel, though perhaps it is not so varied. There are fresh meats, escu- | lents of different kinds, rice, peas, beans, | coffee, tea, sugar, fresh bread, etc. The | dining room is furnished with tables, sents, plates, knives, forks and drinking | cups. | The dispensary reflects great credit | upon Brigade Surgeon Stuart and his hospital steward. Dr. Stuart organized | this branch of the establishment and has had charge of it from the begin- | ning. He has kept the sanitary condi- tion of the prisoners very good, not- | withstanding the fact that numerous cases of contagious diseases have from time to time been brought there. Supt. Wood of the prison also has charge of about 400 contrabands in a separate building nearby, who are also well cared for. —— Havana Veterans to Organize.

FEATURES.’ WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON. ‘We all know that food doesn't seem to taste right when we have a cold. | The reason is that a cold stops up the nose and interferes with the sense of smell. This has a profound influence on taste, for the simple reason that what we :!lrdlnlrlly call taste is really partly smell. For example, if you stop up your nose so as not to smell what you eat and are blindfolded so as not to see it, you will not be ‘able to distinguish be- tween an onion and an apple. Try it. Taste and smell are very closely re- They seem to be almost one For this reason objects that are so |dry as not to impart any of their sub- | | | stance cannot be tasted. Or when the tongue is dry you can’t taste. In order to start a taste impulse the substance to be tasted must be in solution. When in solution the molecules are sepa- rated from each other and the sub- stance is essentially in a gaseous cone dition. The molecules move freely and very rapidly. When doing so they pound on the taste nerve endings, thus start- ing a taste impulse. When the mouth is dry the substance is not dissolved. The molecules cannot pound the nerve endings and no impulse is started, (Copyright, 1929.) China Orders Macaroni.
