JUST SIMPLE COMMON SENSE
Really Nothing to Be Alarmed About
When Speaker Uses Pretentious
Word "Psyeholoay"

One way to get an audience nova
DAVIS is to call the subject Of ones
talk Psychology A Harvard pro-
fessor recently amazed a convention
of clothing manufacturers and deal
ers by delivering an address upon this
tonic. in which he laid down several
principles about the effect Of clothing
upon the wearer, and the surprise Of
his hearers was due to the discovery
that what the learned man had digni-
fled by a long word was nothing more
than what more commonly passes for
common sense. A good many Of the
things he said were already known to
them, lie they had stopped to think.
When he placed them under the head
of psychology they sat up and took
notice, says the Oregonian.
He Said, for example, that the we'll
dressed man is 10 per cent more eff
cient than the poorly dressed man. He
said that clothes that do not fit pre-
vent the wearer from doing his best.
Cleanliness promotes self-respect. Self
respect is contagious, like confidence.
The man who does not think well Of
himself is unlikely to win the good
opinion of others. Comfortable cloth
ing, made Of good material, well brush
ed, was the foundation Of the super
structure, he said. He was talking to
hard headed business men, and they
believed him, because their own expe-
rience showed his statements to be
true.

Then the Fight Started.

Three men emerged from 8 Sl4tn
avenue wet goods establishment last
night. They were apparently the best
of friends. One said: "Well, Doyle, I'm
glad we are all Irish. But let me tell
yer. the best men come from Linz
erick." Doyle said he didn't know about
that. "T'm from Kerry" And imme-
diately fight started. The third man
declared he was from Kilkenny. "And
no Kilkenny man stood by when there
was any fighting to be done, begorra."
And when the three were pulled apart
by three cops they were a sight to
behold. It was hard to tell from the
appearance Of the three which county

AMERICA SENDS
FIGHTERS FOOD

True, British and American Sea-QOSB
hunted the submarine; American ship
builders launched fleets whose sheer
numbers made it impossible for the
Hun sub-sea terrors to sink all Of them;
British land CONSUMPTION turned hum
dreds of thousands of acres of parks
and hunting preserves into crop-pro-
ducing areas; Hoover and American
food economy saved millions of BUSH
els of wheat and shiploads of meat for
fighting men and civilians in France
and England. rs sls g.e- gc
But in the last analysis it was the
farm and the farmer of America that
kept allied hosts on every Western
front in plenty and added despair of
victory to the pinch Of hunger behind
the Hun lines.
His bumper crops jolted hopes at
Potsdam and Vienna as severely as his
fighting sons jolted Teuton generals at
Cantigny and along the Marine, since
expectations of American, crop failure
were based with ;Germanic COM
placency on carefully plotted cam
paigns of propaganda and sabotage In
the United states.

BURN CROPS
The general public is too little aware
of the bitter battles the crop grower
has had to fight to bring his wheat to
harvest.
Burned barns, standing crops, har-
vesters and threshing machines were
only a part OF the widespread ruin
planned by these fellows of Boyd,
Won Papen and Won Bernstorn, and In
too many instances their plots were
successful. That more were not was
due only to untiring vigilance which
can never be relaxed while the war
lasts. s@T
New goals, not easy Of attainment.
are placed before the farmer through
the plan for raising m army of nvs
million Americans to crush Germany
next year.
He will be further handicapped by
the loss of hands to the army, and 10
must raise greater crops. Plans Of
the Department Of Agriculture call for
the increase OF wheat acreage in the
West by as much as 80 per cent.
