Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Fear of High Places. I for one am continually amazed at the way structural steel workers on sky- scrapers go about their work. I have seen some of them actually trot around the framework of a building eight or ten stories high. I am told that these ‘workers command high wages. Perhaps the old economic law of supply and de- mand works to their advantage in_this business, for there are not enough of those who are fearless of altitude to overcrowd the trade. Turning from economics to psychol- ogy, it can truthfully be said that these men are in demand because they have learned to do something which most people wouldn't think of trying to learn. They have outlearned one of the very few original fears with which the human being is equipped (or handi- capped) at birth. They have not just learned a trade, but acquired a special set of habits convenient in the per- formance of a trade. To the average mortal, burdened with all the fears that can be attached to the original fear here involved, these structural steel workers appear to be endowed with some altogether unusual gift. This gift idea is nothing but a superstition. The original fear back of the fear of high places is the “fear of loss of sup- port.” It's the very first one that the new-born infant shows. You may call it one of the very few psychologically pure instincts. With surprisingly little practice, you can cover it over with antagonistic habits. And I belleve that t people go part way in out- educating the fear of loss of support. ‘You must have sometimes noticed how much pleasure small children derive from being lifted high and safely re- turned to terra firma. They have al- ready partly conquered this ancient fear. The so-called climbing instinct, so trequently and universally practiced by both boys and girls, in the dawn of the teens, means nothing other than & sense of satisfaction with their progress in getting rid of the fear of loss of support. T ia Tound_that more women possess this fear of high places than do men. Naturally. The reason is clear.

Zunk entertained six friends at his home Wednesday night and part of Thursday morning at poker. The house was gayly decorated with those things so dear to men's hearts. The feature of the evening was the wihning of a $9 pot by Billy Blip, who slipped over as pretty a flush as has ever been witnessed by losers. Jimmy Jeek held an unusual full house and collected $6. During the evening amusement was caused when two of the plavers got into a fight because one had failed to sweeten the “kitty.” “One-eyed Jacks” were wild through- out the evening. When the party broke up at 5 o'clock in the morning, the boys declared that they had never had such an enjoyable time, especially Dick Blop, wha. c:lle‘cud $45.65. * ‘The amateur play produced last night by the Giddy Players proved to be an awtul frost, Whoever told Raymond Rank that he was a romantic actor should be exposed as the world's worst chooser of champions, Raymond him- self should abandon any idea he may entertain of following the stage.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Sensible and Practical Questions From Youth Who Is Preparing for Marriage—Need of Having Own Home—Duty of Only Daughter. EAR DOROTHY DIX—My girl and I are thinking of marriage. We are from average families, neither rich nor poor. We have never had a great deal. With this in view, please answer the following questions: 1. When is the best a boy and girl to marry? 2. What is the least income we can get by 'lm !t;r. flo"much.gou a nice wedding cost at home? At church? 4. How shoul in bank after wedding expenses? 5. How much life insur- m‘:ahlmul{‘d § 2:;:5'? 6. Is it best for a young couple when they are first married to rent or board? DICK. nswer: That iz & lot of nice, sensible, practicable questions that shows that gou are looking at marriage from the right angle and I wish I could answer them definitely. I can only do so in general terms, however, because 50 much depends on where yeuh:h: and the cost' of ldlvl.nz expenses there and on ‘the standard ving to which you are accustomed. As t:‘l“‘!. think (.he,bcy should be at least 23 or 24 and the girl not under 20, because before that age they do not really know their own minds nor what they are going to be themselves, and it is just a chance if they develop along together instead of one outgrowing the other, and that means tragedy for both. Also, before that time they haven't had their playtime and are not ready to settle down and they nearly always get tired of the bondage of matrimony and the care of children and long to be free. 2. The least income it is safe to marry on is one that will furnish you with the ordinary comforts and decencles of life and leave a little margin over for amusement and enough to lay by something for sickness or unemployment. 3. If you have to count every penny, don't have a “nice wedding.” Just step fround o the priest or the parson and have the knot tied. There is nowhere you get so little run for your money as spending it on a splurge wedding. 4. Have enough money in bank to start a savings account and to be & little umbrella for a chance rainy day. 5. Carry as much insurance as you can without making it & burden. Don't be without any insurance and don't overload so that you would have to sacrifice what you have in case of bad luck. 6. I can answer this question emphatically. Set up your own house, even if it is only one room, when you first go to housekeeping. Don't go to live with either you wife's family or your own family. Go by yourselves. Don't board unless your wife is going to keep on with her job. Then should board, because no woman should work all day and do her own cook- mli night. But don't go to board if your wife would have nothing to do. It is idle young women who get into l.rou.ble.. —DOROTHY DIX. DIAE MISS DIX—What is the duty of an only daughter? Is it to stay with her parents, or should her future be her chief lookout? I am offered the chance of my life to gratify my ambition and do the work I have fitted myself to do, but if I embrace this opportunity I will have to leave home, and my parents object to my doing this. My father is a failure. He and mother have absolutely no desire to -get ahead and they see no reason why I should not be satisfied with a small job. They insist that they know what is best for me in everything, but that is rather rubbing in the loving parent propaganda when you are 24. What shall I do? ONE OF YOUR READERS. Answer: Go. Don't hesitate to get up and follow where fortune beckons you. Opportunity has a way of passing us by if we don't respond promptly when she knocks at our door the first time, I believe in children doing their duty by their parents, and treating them with all due affection and consideration, but parents have no right to ask their el;’fli:‘r:n to sacrifice their lives for them, nor to give up their careers for their W] ‘You are young. You have your Iife still before you. They are old. Their fates are sealed. You probably have years ahead in which to achieve things. Their day's work is over. Just looking at it from any standpoint, it isn't fair, or just, that you should give up. all that you may do and have just for the sake f glving them the pleasure of your company. I have known so many cases in which fathers and mothers have blighted the lives of their children by their selfishness. They didn't want to be separated from Mary or John. They didn't want to leave the old house in which they had lived 50 long. They were afraid of new things. They had narrow and provincial views that they wanted to force on their children, and so they kept John and Mary tied down at home, or they pre- vented John and Mary from marrying the man and woman they loved, or kept them from following the career they wanted to, and John's and Mary's lives were ruined by dong what they thought was their duty to their parents. And, 9 times out of 10, the parents would have been far better off themselves if John and Mary had refused to make the sacrifice, and had gone on and lived their own lives and been happy and prosperous and better able to take care of father and mother than they were with their own lives failures. DOROTHY DIX. HISTORIC WHOOPEE-MAKERS Emperor Domitian Celebrated With Such Cruelty and Extrav- agance His Wife and Friends Killed Him. BY J. P. GLASS. LD SHOOT HIS ARROWS INTO THE HEADS OF HIS VICTIMS LIKE HORNS.” Various and bizarre were the ways in which Domitian, twelfth of the Caesars, T the apinniiy (ot i n the ng o Telgn over Rome, he used daily to spend an hour in private, catching flies amd sticking them through the body with a sharp pin, This gave rise to the famous reply, when any one asked if the Emperor ;}ere lone, “Not so much as a fly is with m.” He spent immense sums in entertain- ing the people with magnificent spec- tacles and was always present. ‘These shows included sea fights be- tween fleets almost as large as those figuring in real battles. He witnessed these joyfully, even in a heavy rain. He loved to preside when young girls ran races in the Stadium, on which occasions he wore a purple robe in the Grecian fashion and a golden crown, At first he felt such a distaste for the shedding of blood that he planned to forbid the sacrifice of oxen, but later he hesitated at no cruelty and even in- vented flendish tortures for his own sat- isfaction. It delighted him to make those against whom he was preparing. de- struction think that he was pleased with them. ‘Thus he sent for his collector of T rents to come to him and treated him | with the greatest friendliness, only to have him crucified the following day: He never enjoyed himself more than when hunting wild beasts and he is sald to have killed 100 in & day at his Alban retreat, being an expert in the use of the bow. Indeed, he is recorded to have been so0 skillful that he could shoot his ar- rows into the heads of his victims like horns. Standing at a distance he could plant the arrows in a mark between the fingers of a boy without hurting him. He gambled much with dice and en- gaged In all possible debaucheries. He gave numerous entertainments in the most splendid style. His extrava- gances and his cruelties made him so hated that he was finally murdered through a conspiracy of his own friends, his wife and his freedmen. He had long predicted the year, day and hour when he should die, from methods of divination which he had ob- tained in his youth from the Chaldeans. Once, having dreamed that a golden hump had grown out of the back of his neck, he interpreted it as meaning that the empire would have happier days when he had passed on. This proved to be the case, for succeeding Emperors were more just and moderate.

An interesting topic that is always with us centers around milady's colf- fure. ‘The arrangement of her hair ‘makes such a big difference in her per- sonal appearance that she is always £r0S 150se waves, Cols. puts and surls 3 ‘waves, colls, puffs arranged with the art that conceals art are used for both long and short hair. This style of waved, decorative coiffure gives a more feminine effect, which harmonizes with the dainty gowns for evening wear. Halr that is being allowed to grow may be dressed in several ways. A pretty result is achieved by parting the front in three sections. Wave the side sections in wide waves, draw them back and pin them back or tie them with the back hair. Now comb the middle sec- tion of front hair slightly over to the left, wave it and then draw it back. Twist the side sections of hair into a foundation coil and draw the front hair over it, tucking it in underneath. Fast- en securely. If the back hair is not long enough to coil, arrange the ends in fi)‘l tiers of round curls and arrange '.hel;\ around the entire back of the neck. ‘The girl with a high, broad forehead should choose a low side part, either on the left or right side. The larger sec- tion of hair is arranged in large, loose ‘waves combed diagonally from the part- ing across the temple to the cheek. The smaller section of halr is waved close to the head. The lobe of each ear is itted to show, and long earrings may be used to give slenderness to the face. Bring the ends around to the back and tuck them in with & small comb or ornament. Another chic coiffure for the girl who is letting her hair grow is arran; with a short center part. Across the ends of the part make another part running from ear to ear. This results in & nar- row front section of hair and a larger section. The back hair may be brushed smooth or waved from side to side. A very slight wave is put into the front hair, and the ends are curled up- ward and pushed behind the ears and inned securely. A little wisp of hair curled up in front of the ear. A small, fiat curl or two may be ar- T d on the forehead on each side of center part. The back hair is tied and divided into two parts, which are twisted into a flat coll or fan-shaped bun across the nape of the neck and fastened securely. ‘The simple, straight-back, sleek coif- fure with no part is also very smart Today in Washington History BY DONALD A.

A city with ‘more natural advantages, with more picturesque surroundings, would be hard to find, and for a people thor- oughly alive to business, active, ener- getic and enterprising, Washington is second to ®one. “The streets are fast becoming beau- tifully transformed by a system of park- ing, wood pavements and sundry other good and useful improvements. “The canal, so long an eyesore and a nuisance, is being dredged, cleaned and put in navigable condition, while an elegant market house is about to be erocted on the site of certain miserable sheds (Center Market Square), * ¢ * “Yet with all this the City of Wash- ington is made the butt for every news- paper scribbler to vent his ridictle and meaningless spleen upon.” this season, but there are very few women.who find it flattering. To look well in such a style one's face must be delicately molded. The skin must be flawless and lineless, the features finely chiseled and the head well form- ed. The neck and shoulders must also be ideally molded, neither too fleshy nor too thin. Poise and a certain dis- tinction of carriage are very important to the woman who wishes to wear her hair straight back and brushed sleek and close to the head without the soft- ening, feminizing effect of waves, fluffi- ness and curls. This type of coiffure is brushed straight back and the hair coiled artistically on the nape of the neck. It is usually suitable for the tall brunette with jet black, glossy hair, or for the tall, golden blond type. Ear- rings are worn to match the color scheme of the dress, hair and eyes.
