PsXcholodX of Practice

The question Of short versus long periods of practice in training the hu. man muscles for any particular kind of work IS obviously one having tar reachine application some interest ing experiments on this subject have been carried out by Dr. K S tashlay Of Johns Hopkins university, AcQuisi- ton of skill in archery was selected as the subject Of observation. Twenty untraiued persons were divided into three groups One group shot five arrows with the English lonehow per day: another. twenty shots per day, and the third forty shots, The re- suits showed conclusiycly tha: the group shooting only five times day improved in accuracy with less eX- penditure Of time In practice than was required by either of the other groups for the same amount of improvement. A report on the experiments says
 "The relatively greater efficiency of short periods Of practice continuing for many days Is In accordance with the results Of the study Of animals and of speech habits in man. and in dicates that in training to muscular feats. in both animals and man. the length of practice periods required is usually too great for maximum ef. nciency. y."-Scientitlc American

MAKE YOUR GARDEN EARLY.
alexandria Town Talk

alexandra Town Talk.
The early garden, like the proverbial
early bird, gets the desired results.
Prepare your garden space early. It's
never too early to begin this work. An
exchange says that it is much better to
risk a freeze than drouth any time.
The earlier your garden produce is
ready for the table, that much earlier
you will leave off talking war and
hard times" Another authority says
that this is good point. That it will
not take long to replant garden. "A
really good plan is to plant very early;
after two weeks plant again in the
middle of the rows; after two weeks
more, if the first planting has been
killed, plant again in the old drill. This
gives three chances, and 1t is certainly
necessary. In this way success can be
made certain at trifling cost" ,

THE STRICKEN LITTLE SISTER
OF. THE WORLD.

All the people left in Belgium-seven
million women, children and old men
are facing starvation. Their German
conquerors will not or cannot feed
them. The Allies will not or cannot
feed them. America alone is trying to
keep them alive this winter.
The Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM, which is the only channel through
which food is transmitted to the suffer
ing land, has worked out with the post
office department and with the express
companies a plan whereby any one
who is willing to eat little less in
order that some Belgian woman or
child may live, can contribute his gift
of food Only imperishable foods, of
course, can be handled; for example
beans, canned salmon, rolled oats, yell
low corn meal, dried peas, granulated
sugar, prunes, wheat, flour, etc. Bel
grim wants any kind of food, how
ever, that will stand ocean transporta-
ton. Belgium also wants clothing and
blankets. If the giver wishes it, the
money expended for parcel post stamps
or for expressage will be returned to
him.
Detailed directions for sending these
packages and for obtaining the refund
money will be given upon application
at any post Office or express Office in
the United States, or at the Office of
