ScoWI and Be ScoWIed At.

You cannot get over the shock you
had today when your demure little
daughter turned on you defiantly and
glared at you when you suggested she
do a certain thing distasteful to her.
You met the situation by glaring
back, didn't you?-and perhaps
threatened to whip her if she were
not more obedient.
Ever since then you have been won
dering where she got that wicked ex-
preston in her eyes.
AS you thought about it your face
took on the same look, and you have
just realized that that is the way you
often look at her when she disobeys
you.
You have nagged her for days try
ing to correct a trivial but disagree
able failing.
You never thought of how you have
looked to her as you fused and fumed
and raved and ranted at each recur
renee of her disobedience.
Have you ever controlled yourself
when you talked to the child on the
subject?
Never let your face take on an ex
preston that you would be ashamed
to see reflected in your daughter.

Psychology and the War.

Prof. G. Stanley Hall Of the Clark
university, United States, places the
subject Of applied psychology on
high plane in relation to the war. He
states:
"Whatever system has been en-
ployed, it Is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this war which it was never possible
to attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more heroism
and daring and have submitted to
more punishment than in any pre-
. vious war. No such slaughter would
have been possible in former wars
without provoking panic. This has
unouestionably been due to the sys-
TEN of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as we'll think
Of going to war without first-class mil
itary equipment as without a knowl-
edge Of applied psychology. The coun-
ell Of national defense seems to have
recognized this; and the National Re-
search council within that body will,
understand, contain representative
psychologists"

His Check Was Too Big.

Matthew White, Jr., cashier at the
Hotel Belvidere, in Baltimore, has had
many requests made Of him and he
thought he was immune from surprise
until guest from the far West
stepped up to his window and asked
him if he could cash check.
Certainly" said Mr.. White, "that's
what I am here for. How will you
have it, fives, ten or small changer"
"Not particular" said the guest lay
ing down United States treasury
check for $4,000.
When Mr.. White recovered he owned
up that he did not have quite that
much money in his cash drawer.
"But," said Mr.. White, '1eave it with
me, and will send it to the subtreas-
ury and you can call for the money in
the morning."
The stranger explained that it was
just little joke. The check was
good, and had been given to him in
Washington in payment for three ships
sold the government.

Japanese Form Unions and
Will Demand Higher Wages.

Agricultural and commercial unions
are forming in many parts OF Japan.
One of the most noticeable results Of
the European war is the advancement
in geographical and commercial knowl-
edge acquired by the working people
from the newspapers. They have i'm
proved to remarkable degree in in
formation about the rest of the world.
Prior to the war, the laboring classes
knew almost nothing about the rest Of
the world. Due to the enterprise of the
Japanese journals in chronicling the
progress of events, the entire popula-
ton is fully informed.
The Japanese people have become
cosmopolitans, says the East and West
News. They are contented, because
plenty Of work offers; but they have
learned about the wages paid in other
parts Of the world for labor similar to
theirs and are very likely, after the
war, to insist on higher wages. Opin-
ion is general that skilled workmen in
Japan will insist on better remunera-
ton.

Clothes May Be Protected
From Damage by Moths by
the Use of Simple Methods

Clothes moths, injurious to woolens
and furs, may be controlled by use OF
simple methods, according to George
A. Dean, professor of entomology in
the Kansas State Agricultural col
Eege.
Repellents will not protect fabrics
If they have become infested, pointed
out Professor Dean. Even to depend
upon such repellents as camphor,
mothballs, or even tobacco, will prove
more or less unsatisfactory. CASTOR
woolens should not be stored in dark
closets or in attics, where they will
breed insects that feed on animal mat
Ter. The floors and corners in closets
should be kept clean.
Articles in daily use, such as car
nets, rugs and clothing, are not likely
TO become seriously infested. Wooden
garments, furs and plumes stored In
dark closets, wardrobes or bureau
drawers suffer most. The greatest
damage Is done In the summer when

HALF A CUP OF MILK
"Many MickIe Makes a
Muckle."

Half cup Of milk-whole,
skinned or sour-a seemingly trlhlng
matter-hardly worth the trouble TO
keep or use.
In many households quite a little
milk is wasted-left uncovered IN
glasses-regarded as useless because
the cream has been skinned off-al-
lowed to sour-poured down the sink
or thrown out.
Now, if every home-there are 70
100000 Of them-should waste on the
average one-half cup daily, it would
mean a waste of 100000 quarts
daily-912, 100000 quarts year-the
total product Of more than 100000
cows.
1t takes a lot of grass and grain to
make that much milk-and an army OF
people to produce and deliver it.
But every household doesn't waste
a half-cup Of milk a day? Well, say
that one-half cup is wasted in only
one out of hundred homes. Still In
tolerable, declare government experts,
when milk is so nutritious-when skim
milk can be used in making nutritious
soups and cereal dishes-when sour
milk can be used in bread-maklng or
for cottage cheese.

Deaf Men Found to Be Best
Workers in Noisy Factory

The war is developing new labor
conditions and problems. Probably the
most unique instance which has come
to light is contained in a request made
of the labor bureau of the Ohio branch
of the national defense council by an
Ohio manufacturer says the Columbus
Dispatch.
81 want from twenty to thirty dear
men. If they are deaf and dumb both,
it won't make. any difference Thls
was the request made by big Ohio
manufacturer. 81 will pay them from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day and give them
steady work. I want to put them to
work in one branch of my factory
where the noise is so great that it is
impossible to keep hearing men on
the job. I tried couple of deaf men
and they have proved so successful
that want score or more of them"

Camera Mans Tricks.

The life of the camera man who
takes the weekly new motion pictures
is not always one of glory. When
Mrs. Vanderbilt, for instance, asks him
to take q picture of her poodle when
he wants permission to take pictures
of her yacht, he finds himself between
two fires, notes the Popular Science
Monthly for June. Either he must
waste some precious film on the dog
or he must refuse and be shown the
quickest way back. One wise camera
man, however, improvised a fake CAM
era crank for such occasions. The
crank arm fits loosely on the shaft of
the film gear in the camera. When
the poodle is going through his antics
the turning arm slips on the shaft and
not foot of film is exposed, although
TO all appearances picture is being
made.

last clubs in the American League
Johnson pitched caliber of ball that
made him stand out more prominently
and above the pitchers who were on
winning teams. It has often been re-
marked that had Johnson been with
the Cubs, Giants, Tigers or Athletics
when those teams were winning pen
nants he would have established some
pitching records that would have stood
for all time.
And Joe Jackson has been prevented
from playing in worlds series be-
cause he happened to be under con-
tract to the hard-luck Cleveland team
up to last year. There is still a
chance for Jackson realizing his ambi-
ton, as he is now with team that
has been in the thick of the pennant
race for two seasons, and Joe should
be good for several more years before
he starts on the path which all players
eventually travel-backward
AS for Johnson, there are at least
four clubs in the American League
that are so far ahead of the Senators
that Walter will have little opportu-
nifty Of getting into a worlds series
unless he is disposed of to another
club, or unless Clark Griffith becomes
a miracle man and puts over an I'M
expected winning combination.

Sulk at times. But of all the NONSENSE
cal nonsense Sulking takes first place.
IL every Sulker could but sit by long
enough for those interested in him to
dig a hole in which to put him, he
would come out Of his trance mighty
quickly, for if there is anything that
Sulker hates it is nonsympathy and
utter abandonment.

Second, whenever you see a Sulker,
forget him and leave him-the Sulker

Cheapest Food From Water.

reaping in these fields of water where
they have not sown, and the harvest
is as good now as it was hundred
years ago. Petroleum is the basis OF

We Need So Little.

We need so much in the flush Of youth
When the heart is pulsing with lifes
rich tide;
we long for beauty and love and truth
With hunger and thirst unsatisfied.
We toll for fame and we grasp at power,
Our souls are attuned to the worlds
mad strife,
All heaven and earth SEEM our rightful
DOVER
For we need so much in the rush Of
life.
We need so little when life is done
And the spirit scars from it's chrysalis;
From our careless fingers, one by one,
Drop the useless treasures we shall not
miss.
The glitter of gold, the boarded heap
OF prizes and praises so hardly won,
We will barter them all for a dreamless
sleep
For we need so little when life is done!

Hand Made Lace of PARAGUAY.

Among the cottage" industries Of
Paraguay is the manufacture Of lace
called "nanduti" (from the Guaranian
word meaning web). The articles pro-
duced, which are all made by hand, in
clude parasol covers, handkerchiefs,
doilies, boleros, mantillas, table mats,
shawls, edging and insertion. The ar
ticles most popular with foreigners are
parasol covers, mantillas, doilies, hand
kerchiefs and mats, these being made
of silk or very fine cotton thread.
These laces appear to be superior in
quality and design to similar laces
made in the Canary Islands and Mex
leo.
The lace is usually sold by peddling
it from house to house, and has never
been exported to any important de-
gree.
