The confusion of ar- cles left about and out of place is often so disturbing to the mind that it offsets the benefit of getting the task done, however much it may have been desired.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Spending Meney. Money spending has a psychology all its own, even after the necessary bills are taken care of. You can tell a lot about 8 man's character, if you look into his unnecessary expenditures. The egoist goes on a spending spell every time some one deflates his ego. That is, if he can get the wherewithal. And we are all egoists to some extent. Economy is not only & virtue in itself, but it is also the mark of a personality that has its social environment under control. That's why swindlers of all kinds can never save anything. When your ego suffers a series of re- bufls, your bank account is pretty likely to suffer. Your access to money is the one thing that bolsters you up. It is said that when a business man has had a bad day he is pretty likely to bring home a box of candy. An old school grammar featured this sentence as an excrcise in sentence structure: ‘“The jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that honor feels.” If these things are true, we all have something within us that ‘comes pretty close to being dear as life itself. That something is_our ego. There is a lot of talk nowadays about mental hygiene. Perhaps your ego is the central thing in_mental health. If we ever change our morning salu- tation, s0 as t refer to the mind in- stead of the body, we will be greeting one another as follows: “How is your | ego today?” = . (Copyright. 1931.)

Today's dress delights in several slim- ming features so kind to the woman of average full figure.

Mrs. Jonathan Gray was chaperoning a group of college girls. She had rchased a new dress jor the occasion. t had the right lines, the correct little Jjacket_with slceve edged with fur, It was the right color. But after all, there was something the matter. She looked almost as colorless as her name. “A young_ girl came up and offered Mrs. Gray her make-up kit. Mrs. Gray refused it almost unconsciously. “Mercy, no, child,” said she, “I never use that. I am too old for it.” “Why, Mrs. Gray, how absurd—no one is ever too old for & bit of powder and rouge.” Mrs. Gray sighed to think how de- praved youth was. But as she sat there that evening began to watch other women. She saw the chaperones who were ever bit as old as she was and they looked fresh, young and vivid. They chattered about books, plays, picture galleries, magazine articles and what no t. ‘Within then ext few days Mrs. Gray did some deep thinking. She had kept her house modern, up to date and clean. But had she done it at the sacrifice of her mind? How well furnished was that? How much attention had she paid to herself as an individual? Preci- ous little. Right then and there Mrs, Gray de- cided to catch up with the times. to keep alert mentally, to have her hair and skin as well groomed as was her home. She even invested in a make-up kit and studied the effect of rouge, powder and lipstick, judiclously applied. Her husband was the first person to comment approvingly, and it was some time since her husband had more thal locked at her in & perfunctory way She was elated. To Clean Gloves.

The young, inexperienced girl usually assumes that every other girl wants to be in a position of authority, that is, in charge of many people. This isn’t true, and before you make a plan for your- self, your work and your ought to under- stand very clearly whether you your- self would like to be in a position of authority. in charge of other people. To have a group of people under B you ~means that you are responsible for their work and their actions while " their mctions while they are in the office or store. You must face people higher up, and answ:r for the faults| of the people under you. This isn't so pleasant as just ordering people around. Another thing is that other people don’t aiways obey when you order them | around. There is someth'ng more to it than just saying, do thi:, or do that. In fact, the most successful executives never say abruptly, do this, or, do that. They put their requests politely, but they have behind each request such force of personality that it is not neces- sery for them to be emphatic or com- manding or loud speaking in crder to get what tHey want. To shriek your orders or to rap them out rudely is a sign that you are a bad executive. | There are a great many people who Helen Woodward. Fruit for It is not really difficult, even on a limited dietary—that is to say, on a lim- ited amount of spending money for the table—to have a great variety of fruit for breakfast. And most people respond better to variety than they do to mo- notony. The child who thinks he doesn’t like fruit for breakfast would be fooled into eating it, probably, if it were sufficiently varied and surprising. Apples are a Winter stand-by. Some- times they may be served raw. For the child, remove the core and slicz the apple in four or five or six crosswise slices, leaving the skin on. He will find eating this sort of apple, rcmoving the circle of skin from each slice as he eats it, great fun. Then they may be served as apple sauce, sometimes flavored with cinna- mon, sometimes with grated nutmeg. They may be served stewed, with a lit- tle grated lemon peel or else grated orange peel added for flavor. They may be baked, sometimes with a pitted date in the core cavity, sometimes with half a fig, sometimes with raisins, sometimes with just cinnamon and sugar. And boked, they may be served with or without cream. When without, there should be a sirup with them, made by adding sugar and water before they are cooked. Bananas may be served raw or baked or fried for breakfast. They may be sliced and served thus, combined with some sorts of cereal, of the uncooked, prepared sort. Prunes may be served stewed alone, and so may dried apricots. Or the two may be combined. Stewed prunes may also be served with a couple of segments of grapefruit to each saucer, the white skin of the grapefruit. segments re- moved. Grapefruit is sometimes expensive, but one grapefruit of medium size goes DAILY DIET RECIPE CARAMEL BREAD PUDDING. Brown sugar. 3 cup.

Many a girl lies awake all night worry- ing about what her assistants will do the next day, and many a wife lles awake wondering what her cook will do. Such ple ht not to have author- ity. ey ought not to be in charge of other people. The good executive is not worried at all about what her subordinates are going to do. She actially enjoys being responsible for ov,herureople and mold- ing them to her desires and will. ‘Would you rather take the burden of responsibility, or would you rather just be, a good bookkeeper with some one else carrying the burden? Would you rather take orders, or would you rather figure out ways to make unwilling peo- ple obey you?

Oranges are sometimes cheap enough so that orange juice is not prohibitive for the whole family. And when they are cheap I think they should be served liberally, for they are surely wholesome. Whien they are expensive they may be made a part of a fruit cup. Fresh and canncd pineapples are de- litlous for breakfast once in a while.

(Copyright, 1931.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Town Angel, Home Devil. Did you gver know a child who be- haved like sn angel when he, or. s was away from home and quite the contrary sort of angel when he was at horhe? What makes him behave like that? If he can be good; gentle, well mannered abroad, why not at home? Of course, there is a reason, but not just one reason for all two-sided chil- dren. There is a reason for each child’s peculiarities. The child who puzzles us must be studied by himself. Wnat in- fluences him may not touch the next child at all. Sometimes a child gets very tired be- ing good. It is not reasonable to expect a child to live on an adult standard of manners and morals. He is a stranger to this world and its ways. He has to learn with care and pain each move- ment, each attitude, each response. Learning new ways, learning new things, meeting new situations all day long is wearing beyond words.. Yet this is what a child faces day by day. And we grow impatient with his clumsy attempts and scold him. If you have a -bad child, investi- gate his daily schedule to discover if he has to be good for a long stretch at a time. If the teacher expects him 2lways to bé A. If his parents and relatives always expect him to be perfect. If the neighbors always look to him for moral support for their erring children. These are severe drains upon the nervous sys- tem of a child. He needs relief, and if he cannot get it he will blow up when he reaches a safe place like home. If you find that the child is under such a strain, cut down on the number of peo- ple, on the hours of duty, on the amount of work he has to do. Give him a chance to play with a hearty group of children. . ‘There are children who are so tired after a day in schoal. and they may or may not be top pupils, that when they reach home they collapse. The collapse takes the form of a tantrum, of a sulky streak, of a temper spasm. The cause is fatigue. Look well to his diet, his hours of rest, to his companions, to the school program, to the sort of teachers he has. Cut down on the pressure that is upon him. Give him a chance to plav in the open and a chance to laugh. We are too serjous about this matter of growing up. Laughter must have a |orga place in childhood. It must have a’ place in the hearts and minds of al thore who are associated with child- hood. There must be room for the non- sense that is so healthy a part of chil- dren’s h. I am certain in my own mind that Mother Goose, Lear's Non- sense Rhymes, Funday, puppies, mon- keys, parrots, funny faces, horns (those that blow), indulgent uncles and aunts, Charlie Chaplin, Santa Claus, do as much or more for children as all our solemn sermonizing. Lift the pressure from the spirit of childhood and it will be good at Fome and abroad. It is the overburdened mind and body that rebels.

'BEDTIME STORIE Decides to See for Himself. ~—Parmer It was & queer story that Reddy had tcld. Reddy had said it was queer and it was. Billy Mink didn't know whether to believe it or not. It is al- w-“{t difficult to believe a queer thing. Billy watched Reddy out of sight then decided to curl up for a nap in that hollow between e roots of an old stump into which he had dodged when Reddy appeared. When Billy awoke he decided that he would see for him- :elf if what Reddy told him was rue. He soon found a path that led up into the woods and he followed this. It wasn't much of a path, but Rilly knew that it hid been made by one of those two-legged creatures called men. He hadn't gone far when his nose told him, that there was meat near, and led him straight to it. It was only a small piece and it reminded him at once of pieces he had seen traps baited with. At once he.became suspicicus, Very careful around it at a safe distances “It looks like a bait, but I don't see any trap,” said Billy. He looked still more carefully, but no sign of a trap could he find. He was sorely tempted to selze that bait, but even as he reached for it he had that funny feel- ing that Reddy Fox had told him about. Something inside seemed to warn him to leave that alone. Billy backed off. Then with a snarl he went on. He hadn't gone far when he came to ancther bait and near it was the dead shrew Reddy had told him of. A little farther on he found a dead crow. “Reddy did tell the truth,” muttered Billy, and continued on his way, that funny feeling growing stronger and stronger. By this time he had quite lost his appetite. He found several other baits, but at none did he find a trap, and this seemed to Billy very queer, very queer, indeed. Then he found one of the relatives of Chatterer the Red Squirrel lying dead not far from one of those baits which he had started to drag away. That funny feeling had become fear, a very great fear by this time. The finling of m dexd oWl didn't make him feel any better. No, sir, it certainly didn't make him feel any better. In fact, it made him feel worse. And when at last he found a dog also dead, Billy decided then and there that this was no place for him and the sconer he got back to the Green Meadows and the Green Forest, which Farmer Brown >nd Farmer Brown's Boy had made safe for all little people the better. PERSON BY WILLIAM Women in Medicine. PFrom a young woman taking the pre- medical course in the University of Idaho comes a questionnaire concern- ing the outlook for medical women. There are. five questions, two of which specifically Fefer to the ‘“prejudice” against the gentle sex in the ession. I had a bit of that prejudice myselt 20 or 30 l”" ago. Candidly, I believe now that my prejudice wag largely mere jealousy of the ability of some of the medical women who happened to beat me to it. I do not pretend to speak for my sex in the pmofession, but I be- lieve that there is today virtually no prejudice against medical women, not even among the laity. ° The third question is particularly rtinent. It asks whether it is easier appol than it is for the young medical of al training. Maybe it is, but if 80, the women’s clubs and other nizations in this country are not functioning very well. Aren't women a majority among hospital patients, should they not,have the of attendance by physicians of their own sex if they desire it? I belleve every hospital should have as many women internes as men and as many women staff members as men, if the hospital is for the public at large, without dis- crimination as to sex or previous con- dition’ of servitude. The fourth question in. the Idaho questionnaire I don’t like. It smacks of the only drawback, as I see it, about the status of medical women. It is as follows: Does the youn? woman physician have any rtunity of be- coming alifed with -mlmn of some | merit and in that way of building.up At he circled, BY THORNTON W.
