WOMAN’S FAGE, Fancy Heart and Dart. Sandwiches BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Every one who makes- fancy-shaped eandwiches regrets the customary waste apart from the crusts which must be cut off even in the regulation triangu- lar, oblong or square sandwiches. These crusts afford plenty of bread crumbs for THE SANDWICHES MAY BE SEPA- RATED AND EACH KIND SERVED ON A DIFFERENT PLATE. various uses apart from extra bits of bread that accrue from more fancy cut- tings. The shapes given today are pictorial and minus all waste. Sandwich bread with its square slices should be used and cut with a medium sized cooky cutter. The sandwiches should be made and the crusts already cut off before the fancy shaping. Put the tip of the heart cooky cutter in one corner of a sandwich. Press down firmly and evenly. When this heart is cut make another by putting the tip of the cooky cutter in the cor- ner of the sandwich diagonally across from the first one. Press down on the cutter firmly, and when the cutter is removed & second heart sandwich will be made. slice will remain. Cut this across in the middle (sec diagram), and you will have two darts. One square sandwich will thus make four fancy sandwiches, two hearts and two darts. These give a pleasing varlety and in types well suited to be served together. In making the sandwiches it is ad- visable to spread the bread before cut- ting, as thinly sliced bread tears in the process. The work is simplified if one slice of bread is spread with soft but- ter and cut, and the second slice is spread with the filling mixture before cutting; or the second slice may be spread with mayonnaise and afterward | very lightly spread with the mixture. | Sandwich filling must be sufficiently | adhesive to hold both slices of bread | Armly together. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Soul of Psychology. When it comes to the question of just | how old psychology is, one man'’s answer is about as good as another’s. For psy- chology has had a lot of beginnings. It would take a sizable volume or two to_give even a running account of them. My own feeling is that psychology began long before the race had lea:ned to write, or had even considered the possibility of preserving the products of himan speculation. Certain it is that this thought was preserved in the form of traditions for centuries. Then came written language and libraries, per- petuating some of this speculation about human nature. What was it that constituted the central point in the unwritten history of psychology? It was the soul.- And from that something psychology took | its name. Back in this distant past, men were concerned with two worlds instead of one. They wanted to know what became of them after they were dead: death is ome of the wonders that created psychology. Specifically, the questions were: What is the nature of my soul? again? | These question, ever asked and never | answered, have gone thundering down | the paths of the centuries, creating | one religion after another, ®he psy- | chology ~after another. Psychology, | despite repeated attempts to do so, has never been able to throw these | questions aside. They are human ques- | tions, profoundly affecting in subtle ways the conduct of men. And | chology, whatever else it may be ¢ is the science of human conduct, (Copyright, 1931 Croutons. Cut some stile bread Into slices about one-third inch thick and re- move all the crust.

Tllustrations by Mary Foley. TUMBLE BUGS. Coleoptera. IX thousand years ago the ancient Egyptlans watched the scarab | beetle roll a ball to his burrow backward. They named him the sacred beetle and worshiped him as an emblem of fertility and resur- rection. We call them “tumble bugs” or pill rollers. Their calling is that of scav- engers. When hunger assails one, with- out previous experience in flying or walking, he raises his short wing-cases; unfurls the long slender flying wings |and goes with unerring instinct to the | place where the scent he caught upon | the breeze directed him. His broad,, flat, shovel-shaped head is used to push the food about. His semi- circular mouth, fitted with six sharp Ilnelh, is convenient for cutting and | sawing the rough fiber. With his short, elbow-shaped front legs armed with five teeth on the edge, he rakes the material with swift movements to his mouth. The food is selected with deft- ness and dispatch. It Is passed under the highly polished abdomen to his hind legs. Spinning the pellet with skill and dexterity, he soon has a per- fect ball which grows to the size of an apple. pl?le now turns his back upon the ball and lowers his head, raises the long. ! slender, claw-finished hind legs a | grasps the ball about the center. Using his short front forelegs he walks home pushing the ball backward. A root or a pebble makes traveling slow, and steep hills are difficult to climb. A deep rut may cause him much trouble. If he cannot dislodge the ball, he flies away and gets a friend to help him out. With lowered heads and & mighty pu.sh‘. they soon have the ball on its way again. The banquet hall is mow built. It must be lagge enough to roll the ball into and have room enough for the owner and a guest, if one should insist on staying. The door is closed with twigs, and for two weeks, day and night, he sits and eats. After mating the mother beetlé makes a pill of food and rolls it home. She goes into the room to see that no in- truder has entered. Then she rolls the ball in and closes the door. She pulls the ball to bits and makes several pear- shaped forms. Into the top of each of these little pears she makes & tiny cradle and lays a yellowish-white egg | the size of & grain of wheat. The tip end of the pear is left open. Twigs are placed to prevent it from closing and to insure ventilation. Ten days later the egg hatches and the baby grub finds the food., then greedily eats it until he is an ugly, fat | grub with a hump on his back. He sheds this skin and is in a golden, trans- parent one, through which the wings and legs may be seen. Four weeks later he has another sult, which turns darker and darker until it is ebony black and very hard In August, when the days are hot and dry, the young beetle longs for the sun- shine. Unless the rains beat upon this little pear-shaped house, he will perish. The rains do come and dissolve his house and he walks out and sits in the sun. Soon he is hungry, the breezes tell him_where the food is to be found. and he flles away and makes & ball, just as his parents did before him.

When Child Asks Why. | | Certainly there is & lot of hooey marketed these days in the name of psychology, especially along the line of child training and mental hygiene. | Most of the hooey emanates, I thin from authorities, experts or “special- ists,” who have never had any kids of their own but who know, nevertheless, all about the managgment and upbring- ing of children. These wise birds begin by knowing just all the psychological wrinkles; give them enough rope and an audlence of amateur or hypothetical parents and first thing we know they're teaching 'em all about health and the treatment of common ailments. One of the best bets of these latter- day peychologists is the rule that you must never tell a child he must do this or he must not do that unless you ex plain the reason for the command or prohibition. This is a good rule so far as it applies to idle or thoughtless nagging. If the nagging parent has to give a reason for every nag, well, the ; nagging won't go on very long, because the honest parent or guardian will feel ashamed of himself when he realizes he has no good reason for it. The trouble with this glib popular psychology is that the few sound scien- tifilc principles on which the whole structure is built are carried to absurd extremes by both practitioners and their followers or_clients. | Recently I sald I belleve temperate | moking by adults neither injures health nor opposes longevity, but any | smoking by children—that s, persons ! who have not yet attained full adult| development physically, mentally and | morally—is ruinous to health and | shortenslife | That brought & lett:r from & much | too gentle mother. She asked if I would ! please interpret my statement about | smoking in simple language which | might appeal to a 14-year-old boy. Her | son had deevioped the smoking habit in | boarding school, and she thought he might listen to me with' greater respect than he does to an “old fogy” mother. The young imp would listen if T could get one good crack at him, I think. Here i & case where only one explana- tion will do. The explanation is that mother for some reason or other would like to have her son keep a pledge that he will not smoke or drink before the age of 25 years. That is all the explana- tion any man can ask. Even if mother wants the boy to wear pink neckties or to take no sirup on his pancakes until | the age of 30, if he has any manhood in him at all he'll do as she wishes and grin at all the world that wants him to do_otherwise. Yeah, and T wonder where this spoiled child’s old man is all this time? If the boy is taking up the smoking habit at 14, heaven defend the country from the sort of & scamp the indulgent father will be bailing out six or eight ears hence. If mother's or dad’s whim or old fogy notion is not enough in such cases, then I say give 'em the gad. (Copyright, 1931.) LITTLE BENNY . BY LEE PAPE.
