Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Meaning of Meaning. You may mean what you say. But you never exactly say what you mean. This means that you do not exactly know what meaning means. If you do know what meaning means, by ail means write it up and publish it. | For the world has been seeking this | information ever since Thales, the re- puted first philosopher, began to explain why what was what, and what why was. ‘This probably doesn't mean much. So we shall pass on to the meaning of meaning. Whenever you see, hear, taste, smell, feel, or otherwise get in touch with your | world or some part of it, you get & sensation. That is, you are aware of |the presence of that world as it is vepresented by the something you sense. Out of that sensation there grows a feeling, a conviction, that something like it or something different from it has previously been sensed. In other words, your world has meaning to you only in terms of similarities and con- | & little more fullness may be let in| trasts. The feeling or conviction that “this” is “this” and not “that” seems to have becol detached from the “this” or “that” as the case may be. To put it still another way, the mean- ing of a something seems to stand apart from that something. The meaning of it becomes a definite mental content different from the sensory picture you get of it. A few examples may help to explain what meaning means. You see a fire. This means “hot.” You say, “The fire is hot.” You taste an onion. This also means “hot” in another sense. But you would never say that fire is an onion. This is all because the experience you had with fire and onions came to you through different sense organs. The names you give to the two experiences are arbitrary terms, picked up here and there as a matter of tradition. All this amounts to saying that the meaning of a thing is pri property to you. If you can tell another what that meaning is, you and he have had exactly the same experience and a com- mand of words to express it, But that's where the psychological trick lies. No two people have exactly the same experience. of copynig. ~ Its perfection dependsonmemmrlymmnm material is cut and draped, and the perfection of finish. DAILY DIET RECIP! CHEESE CREAM PUFFS.

March 4, 1861.—Abraham Lincoln Was sworn in as President of the United States shortly after 12 o'clock today at the east front of the Capitol before a vast throng of persons, who filled the Capitol plaza. Unusual precautions were taken to guard Mr. Lincoln and to prevent any sort of disturbance. The ceremony was carried through smoothly. Volunteer troops of the District of Columbia had special places of trust | and honor in guarding Mr. Lincoin. In addition to the Washington Rifles, who were stationed on the housetops along Pennsylvania avenue, the District National Guard Battalion, commanded by Col. J. A. Tait, had the duty of | Ruarding Mr. Lincoln while he was on 1 the stand in front of the east portico of the Capitol. | Col. “Tait ‘assembled the District Guardsmen at their armory at 9 o'clock this morning. A little later. they pa- raded along Pennsylvania avenue and | up Capitol Hill to the east plaza. After | arriving at their destination, the Guardsmen formed in close order around | the inaugural platform. They main- | tained this position all the time that Mr. Lincoln was on the platform—while he was taking the oath of office and while he was delivering his inaugural address. Their orders were to guard | the immediate neighborhood of the | President during the ceremonies, and they carried them out to the letter. Troops of the Regular Army and tha Marine Corps were also available st | various points and could have been | brought immediately into action if any | of the threats to prevent Mr, Lincoln's inauguration—heard in some quarters during the last three months—had ma- terialized into actual attempts. Never in the history of Washington has_there been a crowd on Pennsyl- vania avenue so {mmense as that of today. The sidewalks from the build- | ings to the gutters were packed all the | way from the Treasury to the Capitoi. Every available window, balcony and housetop was occupied. The doors of the Capitol were guard- ed by an unusually strong force of special police, so that the general pub- lic_could not gain admittance. One of the most unusual features of the scene on the Capitol plaza was thc enormous picture machine of George Stacy. an enterprising photographer of New York. It attracted great atten- tion from the crowd. Mr. Stacy had obtained permission from the proper authorities to erect a stand for his photographic lens. It was about 100 yards from the platform. All during the ceremonies he was busily engaged in taking photographic impressions of the inaugural ceremony and of the crowds, President Lincoln's inaugural address was favorably received by everybody except a few of the Southern sympa- thizers in the crowd. Most of the anti- Union men had left the city by today, however, and there was no public inci- tdlexm to mar the general enthusiasm of e n. After arriving at the Executive Man- sion, following the ceremonies at the Capitol, Pres'dent Lincoln held a bricf reception. He was very tired, however, and the doors were soon closed to all except a few intimate friends. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Salad Days. ‘The salad days are the Spring days. We can't eat too much salad. it is so good for us that it couldn’t hurt us if we ate it twice a day. Nowadays when he say salad we don't and mayonnaise, with a lonely lettuce leaf or two at the side of the plate. We mean a generous plateful of lettuce or endive, cabbage or water cress, escarole or chicory. Raw, green leaves as a foundation and plenty of them. In addition there may be vegetables and fruits and plenty of good salad dressing—French or Russian, mayon- naise or boiled, any kind you please. But the foundation of this salad must be a good, substantial dish of greens. Dieticians nowadays know just how wholesome raw greens are for us. For raw green salad leaves contain an abundance of vitamins and vitamins are vital for our health. That's why we urge on you the observance of these salad days of Spring.

Today we will discuss & hand in which | the hold-up play would be a losing | play. In other words, when we do | play the winning card on the first round. This type of hand does not come up as often as the hands in which there is a hold-up play, but it is just as necessary for us to be able to recognize this type of hand and know what to do with it as it is for us to know the hold-up play. If, on the first round of the suit led, declarer's partner obviously plays a singleton, or fails to follow suit, you realize at once that the hold-up play would be unnecessary. Also if on the second round of the suit the partner of declarer plays what is apparently his last card, there is no reason for holding up any further. Often by noting carefully the opening lead of declarer and by using the rule of eleven, counting your cards and those in dummy, you can come easily within one of the number of that suit held in the hand of leader’s partner. ‘When declarer can be certain that partner of leader will not take a trick, it would be unwise to hold up a winning | card and lose tricks just to keep leader's | partner from leading a suit when there | is the barest possibility of his getting in. ‘The following four hands cellent illustration of this play. ly or dealer, wins the declaration at one no trump and holds: Spades—1, 5, 3, 2.

Some mothers who were rearing their third or fourth child once got together and laughed about the seriousness with which they reared their first infants. It the book said “Never pick up the baby" they carried out the decree to the letter. If it Instructed, “Give the baby several drinks of water a day” they opened the little beaks and poured down water whether or not the b-::les spluttered and [ roared and spit it out.

Evidently Mrs. A. C. has_discovered this also, for she writes: “There is so much said about water. Certainly a baby can't be thirsty if he won't accept water. I took all these rules seriously when Ruth was small and tried to force water down her throat. I finally stopped. I figured she got a lot of water in her formula, and when I thought she might be thirsty I offered it; if she refused it I took it away. She got along fine. | “So many mothers ask you about| night feedings. Is this necessary after | three months of age? Our children at | that age were put to bed at 6 and slept until 6. For a few nights they fussed, | each night a little less, and aside from seeing that they were dry and their feet warm I paid no attention to them. “And why, Mrs. Eldred, do mothers of children under three months bother | with dresses and petticoats? Why not just a wrapper? Mrs. A. C.—I wish all your ideas could be outlined in red or marked in some startling manner, for they are so good, and they do work if the baby is well fed and healthy. There need be no night feedings, certainly, after 10 o'clock, when baby is past 2 months. The sim- plest clothes are best for baby. ‘White Nut Bread.
