WOMAN'’S PAGE Making Wishes Come True BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A desire, or wish, whichever we call it is so much latent energy. ¥ may be likened to the self-starter on a well equipped automobile. So long as one merely wishes, nothing happens, any more than the.auto goes without using the self-starter. Yet each has but to specific results is to stimulate the power to act. It is an lmruttve agent of action, since no one of his own. vo- lition_ does anything he has absolutely no wish“or desire to do. Immediately the desire is created, the human self- starter is in readiness te”work. To wish hard enough is to succeed, for it re- |leases the energy necessary to fire the |ergine of human endeavor. It forces |one to work at an end. ‘Wishing can lnduc%:nflu‘h power tg | move mountains of obstacles. The en- | gineer who first had the desire to forge {his ‘way across Swiizerland without {scaling the Alps found a way of tun- neling through them to get to the other side of the mountains, and his desired result was accomplished. He moved the obstacles in his path without destroying any beauty. He saw his way to the other side first and then set to work |to follow his creative wish. | Few of us have such stupendous bar- riers in the way of success in our | wishes, although they may _appear | mountainous. If we are eager ‘enough |we can force our way, metaphorically shovelful by shovelful, through them and gain our goal. Desires and wishes | need nop be idle dreams. They can be self-starters. . Everyday Fsychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS, Deja Vu. Children smetimes mistake their dreams for reality. Adults often mis- take their day-dreams for reality. We | also often_ confuse our ideas and no- | tions, bellefs and disbeliefs, hopes and | fears with reality. In this way we come to have a lot {of false memories, ~which psycho- | analysts grcup under the name “deja | vu." By “deja vu” one understands a falsification of memory in which a per- son thinks he has already experienced the present experience. For instance, you are walking along the streets of a strange city sure you have been there before.

They are among our most interesting butter- flies. Her wings ars a velvety black, trimmed with three rows of yellow spof across them. ‘The outer row is of little crescents set in the margin of the winf. The hind wings, in addition to the yel- low spots, have splashes of metallic blue shading to black. An orange eye- spot with a black center is in the angle of the wing. The mother is larger than the father. The markings on his wings are a brighter yellow. Her wings have more blue on t{tem. ‘The mother lays an egg the color of honey on the under side of @ sheltering leaf.

BAGK in the days before Willlam Borah of Idaho came to the Senate. he had as a stenographer in his law offices at Boise ag attractive young lady by the name’ Miss Cora Rubin. Of French-8 ther's side and of old American stock on her mother’s, Miss Rubin was known then as a girl with a sense of humor, a hard worker and the type of person who preferred listening 0 talking. ‘Then Borah came to the Senate. With him he brought Miss Rubin and in- stalled her in his office as personal | stenographer. Years rolled on until in 1920 the Sen. ator made her his chief secretary. She | has held that position since. As Senator Borah's secretary and as | clerk of the Foreign Relations Commit- tee of the Senate. of which Borah is chairman, Miss Rubin today holds prob- ably one of the most important minor positions in Washington, At the present she is in Russia on what is described as an unofficial survey of the country. Recognition of the So- viet Republic has lonj been advocated . | by Senator Borah, and to some observ- ers Miss Rubin's presence there is re- garded as significant. ‘This much is known: The Senator | reposes the greatest confidence in Miss | Rubin. During the years she has been | associated with him she has come to | know his friends about as well as he | does himself. | Her knowledge of the warkings of the | Forcign Relations Committee is extensive and her understanding of international | problems admittedly broad. | Hers is the first office one must enter | when seeking an audience with the Sen- ator. No one sees Borah without first seeing Cora Rubin. | Sparing in her speech, she has the | reputaticn of being 2n exceedingly | close-mouthed individual. Some describz | her as being “like a sphinx.” | But all agree that Cora Rubin can't | be ruffied under any circumstances, that she is capable of “holding her own” in any situation. As a matter of fact she is SenatsP Borah's barrier, and as such she has been highly successful. She-is tall, and her dark hair is bob- bed. Those who know her say that she still possesses a keen sense of humor and that away from her duties she is sociable and friendly. If she seems odd in her manner, they explain ihat this is due to her zealdlis- ness to serve Senator Borah. And as for her reticence and her rep- utaticn of being a good listener rather than a talker—that hes its advantages, too, in guarding the business of a Sen- ator’s office. At any rate, she's no figurehead, she knows her business and sticks to it. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Mr. Simkins, will you please make the lump in ver neck go up an’ down again so baby kin see?
