It is strange how many nationally | ¥nown men may be seen within the brief space of four hours. Each is no- | table in his particular business or pro- | fession. We had no appointments with them and the meetings were casual. They follow. One was a head of a great motion | picture company, one a famous theat- rical producer, others a celebrated | basso, & mavor who has just been re- | clected to office, a noted correspondent, | who is the husband of a no-less-famous | woman who at one time starred on | Broadway; a nationally known radio announcer, & bridge expert of interna- | tional repute, and a man who is proba. bly the most prolific of all “ghost | writers.” Curiously enough, each one of thbse enumerated started out in life in a| business remotely different from the | one in which he won fame in later years. * * ko The taxicab driver was lonesome. He was just finishing a 12-hour tour. “This cab has been in commission only five weeks, and me and me partner, the guy who - drives it ail night, have gone 5000 miles in it. We average from 150 to 200 miles a day apiece on each tour, I've carried a loi of celebrities. Yes, sir, they've sat right where you Jare. A lot of prizefighters, yeah. And a night’ club hostess talked to | me once from that there back seat. She said, ‘Snap into it, buddy; let's get going.’ “One day I had a well known mil- | lionaire back there.

According to Freud, every dream is a “wish fulfillment.” The things y would like to see happen, but whi for some reason do not or cannot hap- pen, are the things that happen in your dreams. o much for the first Freudian prin- | But to this he hitches another— sexuality of the dream. | Every dream is a wish to return to the | mother, to be caressed, fed and other- | wise taken care of without effort.

In other words, the first | Adlerian principle has to do with at- | tempts to make up for some individual | shortcom or weakness, It is often lL.All(d the “compensation principle.” ‘0 th st principle Adler hitches | enother principle of experimenta- |tion.

POOR. harassed, henpecked man asks me why wives nag and if there is any cure for it Well, ther, there are three reasons why women nag and, curiously enough, the first and greatest of tiese is love. It is one of life's little ironies that the woman who tortures her husband and children by nagging. and | makes them hate her and flee from her as from the stinging of a gadfly, is oftener inspired to her pestiferous course by affection than by any other causc. Many a wife and mother who would die for her family, if necessary, makes them wish they were dead to be rid of her ceaseless admonitions and warnings and inquires and remor d interferences, but it is not malevolence nor a desire to irritate an hersell offensive that causes her to play upon | the same theme endiessly, as upon a harp with a single string. just her devotion to her husband and children. Her absorption in them iety about them. The fact that her world centers around them. She has no other thought but about them and she must express it, no matter how | much they resent it, or how tired they get of hearing it, or how much it gets | upon their nerves. | 1t | starts to w | cat a hea | about h | goes awa . ‘ l [ is love that makes wife make the same protest every time a man lights | | a cf for 40 vears. It is love that spoils every meal for him by her telling him how bad everything he likes to eat for his digestion. It is love | | that makes her object to his sitting up at night reading or going out to take a | stroll before bedtime. | | ev | the is love that makes a wife W her husband every morning when he k to watch out and not get run down by an automobile; not to Inch; not to get his feet wet; not to fail to go to the doctor and see cough; not to sit in a draft; not to do this, not to do that, until he ¢ fecling completely disgruntled. . And it is love that s a mother nag her children to extinction about | cthing they do and don’t do. It is love that makes her put them through | ame questionnaire every time they go out of the house about where they going and whom {hey are going to see, what they are going to sdy and when hey are coming back. It is love that makes her nag them about their clothes | | and their dancing and their friends and that makes them have to fight over | | the same old battle with her every day of their lives. It isn't really that the woman wants to interfere with her husband’s and | her children’s pi ure and happiness, It is just that she is so anxious about | them that she cant let them alonc. A woman has cither to be very broad- | minded or else have very liftle affection for her family to be willing to grant | her husband and children any personal liberty and refrain from nagging them | about, everything they do. | “The sccond remson why women nag is their defermination to boss their | familics. They are pretty domestic tyrants who are determined to rule or ruin, | and they soon find out that the most effective way to do this is by nagging. | For as the constant dropping of water will wear away the hardest stone, so will | the never-ending repetition of the same objection break down the stoutest re- sistance. Mot of us are cowards who take the line of least resistance and we find I it easier to give in to the nagger than it is to fight her. And so we let the nagger | nag us into.joining her church and voting her political candidate and giving up | our friends and family and moving into the neighborhood she has made up her | | mind to ltve in and buying the aufomobile we cannot afford. For once the bossy nagger has made up her mind to have anything or do anything, she worries her family about it until theg give in in sheer exhaustion. e exclu: | busins | | | A IE third reason why women nag is the narrowness and lack of outside in- terest in their lives. This is amply proved by the fact that nagging is almost | vely @ domestic vice. You never hear of women indulging in it in | , or anywhere outside of the home circle. | | The nagging wives are almost always the sort of women who are ingrowing wives and mothers and housewives; the women who boast that they rarely go away from home. and that they devote all of their time and thought to their | husbands and children. They don't read. They don't go to clubs. They don't | do anything to amuse themselves. ) | The result is that they lose their perspective. Having litle to think about, | they fhrash over the same old grievances until they make mountains out of moiehills. Having nothing new to talk about, they talk ceaselessly about the same old thing. It is these women With nothing new to divert their thoughts into fresh channels who will nag a man for 30 years about the money he loaned an old | friend. or a bad investment that he made, or the time he came home from a lodge celebration all lit up like & Christmas tree. | As for the remedy for nagging, there is, alas, mone, because no woman | ever admits that she is a nagger! The nagger only says what she does say | to her family for their own good, and she never can understand why they | don’t reciate it and enjoy staying at home and hearing her repeat herself. | e o DOROTHY DIX.

The question before the house was what could be done to | make vegetable dishes as delicious as they could be. The result of the experiments, which were carried on for several days, was the far- reaching new discovery of an old secret. The best way to cook vegetables is in a small | amount of water, and with the addition of | sugar. In every case vegetables so prepared received the unan- | imous vote of the experts. For luncheon or dinner cook 6 medium carrots with a level tablespoon of sugar in the least boiling water possible. Slice, reheat and let simmer 10 minutes in 2 teaspoons of butter, pinch of salt, and 1 level tablespoon of sugar. For delicious stewed tomatoes, peel, slice and stew 6 ripe ones, then add a lump of butter, 3 teaspoons of salt, 2 level table- spoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs. Cook 10 minutes longer and serve. Just try sugar with vegetables in your own kitchen and notice how much better it makes these healthful foods. Try a dash of | sugar with lima beans, string bezns, corn, peas, parsnips, squash, onions and tomatoes. It makes children and adults like them. Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with sugar. The Sugar Institute. | “have thelr. | and it WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. S.

After a still Winter night, T awoke with the impression that some question | had been put to me which I had been endeavoring in vain to answer in my | sleep as what—how—when—where? But there was dawning Nature, in whom all_creatures live, looking in at my broad windows with serene and | satisfied face, and no question on her lips. "I awoke to an answered question, tn Nature and daylight. ‘The snow lyina deep on the earth dotted with young pines, and the very slope of the hill on which my house is placed seemed to say, “Forward!” Nature puts no ques- tion and answers none which we mor- tals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution. “O Prince, our eyes contemplate with | admiration and transmit to the soul the | wonderful and varied spectacle of this | universe. ‘The night veils without doubt | a part of this glorious creation; but day | comes to reveal to us this great work, | which extends from earth even into the | plains of the other.” Then to my morning work. First I | take an ax and pail and go in search | of water, if that be not a dream. After | a cold and snowy night it needed a | divining rod to find it. Every Winter the liquid and trembling surface of the | pond, which was so sensitive to every ‘Ernth. and reflected every light and shadow, beccmes solid to the depth of a foot or a foot and a half, so that it will support the heaviest teams, and perchance the snow covers it to an equal depth, and it is not to be dis- tinguished from any level field. Like the marmots in the surrounding hills, it closes its eyelids and becomes dormant for three months or more. | Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hilis, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, | and then a foot of ice, and open a win- idow under my feet, where, kneeling to | drink, I look down into the quiet parlor | of the fishes, pervaded by a softened | light as through a window of ground | glass, with its bright sanded floor the | same as in Summer; there a perennial | waveless serenity reigns as in the amber | twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabi- tants. Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. Early in the morning, while all things are crisp with frost, men come with fishing teels and slender lunch, and let down their fine lines through the snowy field to take pickerel and perch: wild men, who instinctively follow other fashions and trust other authorities than their townsmen, and by their go- ings and comings stitch towns together in parts where else they would be ripped. They sit and eat their luncheon in stout fearnaughts (stout woolen gar- ments) on the dry oak leaves on the shore, as wise in natural lore as the citizen is in artificial. They never con- | sulted with books, and know and can do much less than they have done, ‘The things which they practice are said | not vet to be known. !

You look into his pail with wonder as into a Sum- mer pond, as if he kept Summer locked up at home, or knew where she had re- treated. How, pray, did he get these in Midwinter? Oh, he got worms out of rotten logs since the ground froze, and so he caught them. His life itself passes deeper in Nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject fof the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects: the for- mer lays cpen logs to their core with his ax, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see Naturc carried out in him. The perch swallows the grubworm, the pickerel swallows the perch, and the fisherman swallows the pickerel; and so all the chinks in the scale of being are filled. When I strolled around the pond in misty weather I was sometimes amused by the primitive mode which some ruder fisherman had adopted, He | would. perhaps, have placed alder branches over the narrow holes in the ice. which were four or five rods apart and an equal distance from the shore, ind having fastened one end of the line to a stick, to prevent its being pulled through, have passed the slack line over a twig of the alder, a foot or more above the ice. and tied a dry oak leaf to it, which, being pulled down, would show when he had a bite. These alders loomed through the mist at regular in- tervals as you walked half way round the pond. Ah, the pickerel of Walden! When I see them lying on the ice, or in the well which the fisherman cuts in the ice, making a little hole to admit the wate: I am always surprised by their rare | beauty, as if they were fabulous fishes, they are so foreign to the streets, even to the woods, foreign as Arabia to our Concord life. They possess a quite dazzling transcendent beauty which separates them by a wide interval from the cadaverous cod and haddock whose fame is trumpeted in our streets. They are not green like the pines, nor grav like the stones, nor blue like the sky; but they have, to my eyes, if possibi yet. rarer colors, like flowers and pre- cious stones, as if they were pearls, the animalized nuclei or crystals of the Walden water. ‘They, of course, are Walden all over {and all through: are themselves small ‘Waldens in the animel kingdom; Wal- denses. It is surprising that they are caught here—that in this deep and capacious spring, far beneath the rattling teams and wagons and car- riages and tinkling sleighs that travel the Walden road, this great gold and emerald fish swims. I never chanced to see its kind in any market; it would be the cynosure of all eyes there. Easily, with a few convulsive quirks, they give up their watery ghosts, like a mortal translated before his time to the thin air of heaven. | British rallways are inaugurating mid-week excursions with reduced fares, Heinz Oven-Baked Beans are delicious because they're oven-baked so thoroughly to a tender, brown goodtl!ess.
