Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Unfortunately, none of us has the autlity to discover the real reasons why | we _think, feel and behave as we do. Fortunately, psychology as a science of human life has progressed to the point where it can with some certainty explain human behavior. | Psychologists talk about “patterns.” ‘They have found a few which appear to be native or inborn. All individuals set out on life's highway with the same equipment. This equipment of patterns consists in being unhappy when we are | hungry, angry when something blocks | our movements, afraid when we find | ourselves alone. The scientific names for these orig- | inal patterns are discomfort, rage and They are found to have a wide And the range | fear. | range of application. widens as we grow older. These patterns get hooked ip with | the countless thousands of things called experience. We come to have general notions, hopes, phobias, prejudices, pref- erences for this or that, antipathies for !this and that. Look over your stock of settled ideas |and pet notions. You will find that they are patterns made out of the orig- mai mind-stuff called discomfort, rage and fear. They differ somewhat from other people’s patterns, because your experiences have been different. (Copyright, 1930.) MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Everyday Exercises. The following letter from one of :1y readers probably applies to many others also. She writes: “It seems to me that every set of exercises which I see is designed for some particular thing—to reduc~ the hips and abdomen, strengthen the back, reduce the legs, etc. Now, I believe 1 am just an average woman. Am in my early thirties, but realize that my body $s gradually locing its suppleness, ¢ e likely through lack of exercise. Could flx give us a set of exercises designed Jjust the average person to use every day in order to keep her body healthy and supple?” I am glad to comp!v with this request by suggesting a set of exercises which I feel is exactly what this reader and every .other average girl or woman will be glad to have. If milady will spend from 10 to 20 rinutes every night and | morning on such exercises as the fol-| Jowing, she will have no difficulty in ""\ taining a supple, graceful body: 1. Lie on your back on the floor, raise both legs to a vertical position. Now rotate your legs f ‘ard alternately, as though you were walking upstairs rap- 4dly. Repeat 25 or 30 times. 2. Stand erect, with feet apart and hands on hips. Slowly twist the trunk as far to the right as possible, keeping body stationary from the waist down.

Five minutes in the morning will be quite sufficient as a start. Then, if there is any stiffness or soreness of the muscles as a result of the exercises, this can be greatly re- lieved by massaging with rubbing alcp- hol, whic:. can be procured at any drug store.

Oh, yes!—it's the old glass lamp just like your grandmother, Aunt Emma or Cousin Susan used to have and which was so fascinating to you when you were a little girl and were allowed to go visiting and sit on the horsehair furni- ture, provided you were able to get on it. Anyway, now it's a lamp that we think is pretty nice and by having it electrified and equipped with a shade it lengds itself very graciously to our pres- ent living rooms, and tries to forget the period of years which it spent in the discard way up in the attic. You remember this type of lamp, surely—the base was usually marble, the shaft bronze and the part which held the kerosene clear or milk-white glass. We find modern reproductions of these in pewter and jade green glass and they are quite pretty. Equipped with polka dot shades decorated with a Godey print or flower print, they are just - about the quaintest and most charming little lamps that could be found for the four-poster or spool-bed bed room.

One very rainy day our children, joined by the neighborhood group, in- vaded our kit.hen for the purpose of making a newspaper. Pages of plain wrapping paper were used, and on this were ted news items cut from the daily of the day before. Editors and r orters had been chosen fo- various fields of work, and each contributed to his column for current events, sociely,: athletics, wants and advertising. The kitchen was a very busy place all fore- noon, and the children were happy in doing something different and more than pleased with their production. (Copyright, 1930.)

Psychic Adventures of Noted Men and Women Vision of the Duchess of Hamilton. BY J. P. GLASS. The following peculiar experience was shared by several extremely well known persons. Dr. Alfred Cooper, a member of the Council of. the Royal College of Sur- geons, in London, was consulting sur- geon to several London hospitals, had been surgeon in ordinary to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and was rominently. connected socially, his wife gean a daughter of the Earl of Fife. Sir Willlam Jenner was one of the most distinguished of English physi- cians and pathologists. The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, | the latter being a daughter of the Duke of Manchester, with the Earl of L—, whose identity for some reason, has been kept secret, complete the charac- ters figuring in the episode. Of the five, the Duchess of Hamilton and the Earl of L—— might be called scene as if from a play before me. The actors in it were Lord L——, in a chair, as if in a fit, with a man standing over him with a red beard.

After Dr. Cooper had finished with him, they went into the drawing room where the duchess was sitting. It was at this point that the duke said: “By the way, Cooper, how is the earl?” The duchess interposed, “What earl?

NANCY PAGE ‘Labor Day Picnic at Home Is Sensible. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Labor day dawned clear and hot. During the morning the children played around the yard. Nancy packed a lunch and made all preparations for an automobile picnic later in the day. As she and Peier discussed a route they found that neither one had any desire to go out on the road on the holiday. “The roads are jammed, people are in a picnic mood, they know they won't| have many. more outings this year, so they are inclined to be reckless. - “What's the use of geting into the crowd? Why can't we have a picnic here at home. We can call some of the neighbors’ children over and let them eat out of doors. Then we can get them to bed at a reasonakle hour and no-one of us will have jaugled nerves and tempers.” ‘That was the plan adopted. At noon the children were told they could have their picnic at home. At first they de- murred, bui when they were told that they would eat out of doors the objec- tions were stilled. Here is the menu they had: Creole spaghetti, bread and butter and lettuce sandwiches, cottage cheese, sliced tomatoes, watermelon cones, lemonade, hot coffee, toasted marsh- mallows. ‘The spaghetti was packed into the lho', thermos jug. It was made as fol- | lows: One-half pound spaghett! was boiled in two quarts salted water. Then it was | drained. One can tomatoes was strain- | ed and liquid brought to boiling point. One sliced onion was browned in one- quarter cupful butter or bacon fat. Two tablespoenfuls flour were added, then hot tomato liquid was put in. When | boiling this was poured over spaghetti | in upper part double boiler. One pound chopped steak was seared in frying pan, added to mixture. Seasoning and grated cheese were added to taste. - (Copyright. 1930.) Other desserts might cake for instance.

This holiday comes as a sort of period of punctuation to the vacation season. It calls for a full stop of work, so that a fresh start can follow after the cessa- tion.

The hungry appetites of pic- nickers give flavor and relish to sim- ple sandwiches, fresh fruits, olives, homemade cakes and pies that are cus- tomarily made and served at the home table. Extra labor is eliminated from such a luncheon or supper. As Labor day is one in which picnies, and outings are in high favor, the preparation of some sort of a meai to be enjoyed on the seashore or under the ‘trees is a common task for the homemaker. Therefore, special men- tion is made of them, with the advice to keep the meals delicious and tempt-: ing without increased labor. ‘The homemaker should feel free to | benefit by a leisurely day, for she also works as hard as others.

But, now that he wanted a home df his own, he must work hard to get it, and he was work- ing “I want to get a good bed room,” said Impy, as he dug and pushed the sand | ‘WELL, WELL!” EXCLAIMED BLACKY. “WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD WEAR BLACK?" out in a shining heap.

Once in a while he would stop outside to rest, for digging is hard work. He would climb up on the pile of stones or sometimes up on a fence post. Once as he climbed up on a fence post he discovered Blacky the Crow sitting on the next fence post. “Well, well!” exclaimed Blacky. “Who told you you could wear black? Black belongs to my family. Where is your striped coaf “I haven't any striped coat,” replied Impy. “Black may belong to your family, but it belongs to me, too. Old Mother Nature gave me this black coat and there is nothing for me to do but to_wear it.” Blacky nodded. “That’s right,” said he. “We all have to do what Mother Nature tells us we must do. But, tell me, where did you come from and what are you doing here? Are you one of Striped Chipmunk’s children?” Impy nodded and answered the last question first. Striped Chipmunk is my father,” said he, “and, of course, I came from the old stone wall.

No, sir, I won't tell anybocs about it.” Impy couldn’t find a word to say, so he whisked down the post and disap- peared in the pile of stones, while Blacky the Crow chuckled. (Copyright. 1930.)
