There is an interesting story in_the human employment of animal instinct. Men have given animals jobs when| they could. The human demand ex-| ploits the animal supply. The horse.| camel and elephant become beasts of | burden. As horsepower gives way to| brainpower, human invention super- | sedes animal instinct. But nature con- tinues to do some things better than the mind of man. A land of milk and honey is still de- pendent on cows and bees, though syn- thetic substitutes may be invented. Us- ing dogs or falcons for hunting, or pigs for finding truffies. is yet another ex- ploftation of a special animal instinct. Yet of all the animal instincts har- ressed to human ends, the flight of the cerrier pigeon—now replaced by the air mail—is most engaging because of its psvchological setting. It gives one re- spect for the bird brain, justifies the expression “a wise bird,” and the use | of the owl as an emblem of wisdom. | That persistent sense of home has a far-reaching consequenc It may be assoclated with the migratory habit—| another remarkable bird instinct— though it operates wherever birds scour a vast area in the search for food. That a stork should have two homes, a Summer home in a_particular chim- ney in Holland and a Winter home just as much its own in North Africa, and know when and how to make the double journey each year, is an _intelligent ghowin In the service of all these| ways of nature there has developed a | trong inct, which man puts | to service as the messages by air. | Home comes to mean a mating nest | as well as a shelter. A lair is the same. | ‘The domestic cat comes back and “be-| Jongs” through persistence of the lair| habit from the jungle. The tendency | to prowl and roam and attachment to a local habitation enter into the homing | instinct. | In man the homing instinct, like every | other set of acquired habits built upon | an instinctive basis, rises in the scale of complication. The instinctive factor remains imbedded as the core of the behavior, but the (so called) homing instinet in man isn't a carrier-pigeon, built-in habit, but something acquired. It grows with the growth of home tles and their many connections. Home is primarily a shelter, and a shelter en- lers into the protective mechanisms of ife. If we were turtles, we should carry| our_shelters on our backs (or as our | backs) and retire within the walled | castle of our shells. The cave makes | the shelter of the cave-man period of | human life. Open only at the front, it afforded protection on all other sides. Retaining the same tendency, we take the corner seat when we can get it and shove our beds into corners, at least against one wall. and would feel un- sheltered in a bed set in the middle of the room. But in human behavior the homing instinet is largely psychological, Though ever so_humble, there's no place like home. We cultivate the homey feeling; we extend hospitality by the invitation 1o make yourself at home. When first away from home we develop acute at- tacks of homesickness. We dislike to be strangers in a strange world; we can't work under unfamiliar surroundings, can't sleep so well in a strange bed. A psychological homing instinct as a means of finding our way home we to- “Our farm wuz sold under ‘the ham- mer, an’, belleve me, I'd certainly hate to meet death that way,” says Mrs. Em Moots.

You may not care to wear gloves throughout the evening, but you doubt- less appreciate the importance of hav- ing suitable gloves to wear in transit They are best when of soft, fine suede, and save the formal occasions are usu- ally only long enough to cover the wrist, Usually of the pull-on sort, they are not worn tighty drawn up on the arm but are allowed to wrinkle at the wrist. The scarf is sometimes omitted for Summer wear since the light evening wrap or shaw! used for a wrap fills the need for a scarf. But when a scarf is worn it should be chosen with very definite relationship to the dress. For informal evening dress some women wear no jewelry at all. though some sort of necklace usually improves There is a clever little collar made from strips of ribbon stitched together in modernistic Vs. It may also be made of strips of satin or linen. bid vou would like to have this week’s cir- | cular giving a sketch of this collar and directions for cutting and making, please sent a stamped, sclf-addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this | paper, and it will be sent to you at | nee. i (Copsright, 1929.)

Text—"As the crackling of thorns un- | der a pot, so is the laughter of the| fool."—Ecc., Vil.7. He was a popular comedian, a slag(‘i favorite. People attending his per-! formances considered him “the funniest mortal alive.” His income was more than $1,500 a week. He seemed “a fixed luminary in the stage universe.” Then there was a scandal with a pretty actress, and “he began a startling skid that in rapid succassion left him penni- less, divorced, jobless and {ll.” He was a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow, “the situations in his life whic not be turned aside with a w seemed to leave him helpless.” These were the main points in a recent news- paper story about this comedian. The happy-go-lucky type of man ap- peals to us all, We just naturally like a funny man. We consider him for- tunate who has a cheerful disposition and who is able to laugh away his wor- | 1ies and troubles. But it is well to remember that there are some things that cannot be laughed away, that| there are situations that cannot be turned aside with a “wisecrack.” One cannot make a joke of his evil doings and get by with it. He cannot laugh away his sins and follies. He cannot dismiss a guilty conscience with a jest. “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” “A merry heart hath a continual feast. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” So says the sage | of ancient Israel. also says, “As the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the | fool.” One with a guilty conscience | may keep up his laughter for a while, | but it will be a dry, crackling sort of laughter. 8unshineSodaCrackers are laden with energy value—100 calories in every four crackers. } }\u ”/4_ Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. August 2, 1863.—A train bringing | about 70 wounded men, belonging to Buford's Union Cavalry, arrived this afternoon and the men were taken to Douglas Hospital. Most of them are severely injured, many of the saber cuts received in the fight on the Rappa: hannock River near Culpeper, Va. Saturday afternoon, which, according to all accounts, was & desperate hand- to-hand conflict. The only commissioned officer among the wounded is Capt. Augustine, Com- pany E. 5th United States Cavalry. On the way here Capt. David H. Morgan of the 6th Pennsylvania, Jack Robson, bugler, 2d U. 8., and Barre bugler, 2d U. S. died on the train. John Bamington died after being taken to the hospital. From reports received here today from the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, it is apparent that the battle near the Rappahannock River Saturday was of considerable propor- tions. Gen. Buford, with artillery and a supporting force of infantry, crossed the river in the morning near Rappa- hannock Station. He soon encountered one brigade of Gen. Stuart's Confeder- ate Cavalry, which he attacked. The Confederates were reinforced by the rest of Stuart's command, and the enemy fought with great obstinacy. They were driven back, however, to within one mile of Culpeper. At this point a division of Confed- crate Infantry made its appearance, and the Union tronps, flndh’li they were in_danger of being outflanked, slowly fell back, followed by the Confederate Cavalry, Infantry and Artillery. Gen. Buford finally halted in a strong po- sition and for some hours held the entire Confederate force at bay. The fighting was very severe and the losses on both sides were heavy. Gen. Buford at length was joined by the 1st Corps of the Union Army, and the combined force compelled the Con- federates to cease their attacks. At last reports, other Union corps were coming up and there were indications that the Confederates likewise were being reinforced. Union patrols report evidence that Gen. Lee is concentrating his entire Army in the vicinity of Culpeper. If this is true, news of a general engage- ment may be received at any moment. | Reports from the front say the weather is the hottest of the season. ' Lessons in English BY W. L.

Place in a buttered and covered Immunity. Suppose one were compelled to submit to a bite by a venomous snake or volun- teered to do so for sclentific observa- tion. If one could first receive a dose of anti-venin (snake bite serum), or if one could have this antidote injected immediately after the bite, no serious consequences would be observed prob- ably. Of course, it is conceivable that the snake might inject an exceptionally large dose of virulent venom and the dose of serum might be too small to neutralize it, and in that case the snake bite would undoubtedly cause serious results and perhaps even death. Suppose one develops a suspiclous sore throat at a time when there is diph- theria in the community. If one re- ceives a prophylactic injection of anti- toxin immediately, while the doctor is awaiting the bacteriological test of the culture, the diphtheria, if such it proves to be, will likely be a very mild indis- position. Of course, it is conceivable that one may have been exposed to an exceptionally virulent strain of infe tion and the dose of anti-toxin admin- istered as a prophylactic might be too small to neutralize the overwhelming quantity of diphtheria poison or toxin, and in that case one would suffer a serfous illness and possibly death from the diphtheria. However, a dose of anti-toxin confers immunity at once, whether the immu- nity is sufficlent in the circumstances or not. The tonin-anti-toxin method of immunizing children against diphtheria does not confer immunity immediately; it merely starts the natural develop- ment of immunity, and this process quires at least three months, perhaps longer in most instances, so that the child who receives the three weekly doses of toxin-anti-toxin now will at- tain the full measure of immunity only | after the hm of three months. Mean- while the child is developing immunity gradually day by day. So far as our present knowledge of immunity goes, it is always so, though the time required for the process may vary with different diseases or different type of germs. If you receive bacterial vaccine treatment, yoft can't expect the effect to be manifest in a few days; it takes several months. Indeed, it often happens that the vaccine treat- ment has been discontinued and the patient is “trying” something else when the effect of the vaccine treatment be- comes manifest. Passive immunity—the kind conferred by a dose of antidote—is complete im- mediately, and it probably lasts but a short time.

And even a slightly acidy condition re- sults in slight discolorations under the skin, so faint they are not noticed as flaws; they merely make the complexion rough looking and ugly. ‘You will have to wash the acid out of your system.
