Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowrs.
SensitiVeness.

One of the supposed besetting fran-
ties that flesh is heir to is popularity
summed up under the term sensitive
ness. This common expression war
rants an important place IN the psy-
chology of everyday life.
To start with a definition: Sensitive
ness is a disposition, pure and simple.
BY this mean tendency to be easily
and fully disturbed by any and every
external influence.
So influenced, those who are SenS1-
tive begin to get nervous. Later on they
may stampede and lose all orientation
to their surroundings. At such times
senSitiveness is to be condemned.
But go below this common under
standing of the term. SensitiveneSs is
fundamentally a sign of intelligence.
And by intelligence I understand an
ability to see what's going on.
The god Of nature carries out plan
whereby those Of its creatures that are
destined to live most and to contribute
most must also sense moSt-must be
highly sensitive. Superiority is not at
tainable without sensitivity or irritable
ity. That's why geniuses as rule
suffer from insomnia, indigestion and
sometimes insanity. In fact the much
JdlkC0 VI u10dl1lty VI EClA4uo
pears to be nothing other than the
flowering-out of a highly sensitive set
of nerves. The behavior of genius
is bound to be erratic at times.
The sensitive person is always on
the alert. That's what causes great
painters to see details in a landscape
which the insensitive cannot recognize
even, after they are reproduced. A good
art critic must be an artist himself so
far as the nervous system is concerned.
The same is true for the superior
musician. He senses tone differences
that ordinary mortals never detect.
Such information enables him to ex-
ecute musical performances that the
masses can only partially appreciate,
and can never initiate.
And so it goes for every human
endeavor. The great men and women
are those who are highly sensitive to
their surroundings.

At last a new dish has arrived for

Nancy hailed it with glee. She had
served horS d'oeuvres, cocktails of fish

sauer kraut juice in varying succession.
And she sighed for something new.
She found it listed on the menu card

Cook two cupfuls of white sugar with
half a cupful of milk until it forms a
firm ball when dropped in cold water.
Remove from the fire and add one
pound of dates pitted and cut into very
small pieces. Stir until the dates are
softened and the whole is like paste.
Add one cupful of pecan nuts chopped,
and whens fairly stiff pour out onto a
dampened cloth. Grease the hands
with butter and form the mixture into
a roll, then let cool. Cut into slices
about a quarter of an inch thick.

Noodles With Bread Crumbs.

Break one-half pound of noodles
into pieces and cook for 10 minutes
in boiling salted waited. Then drain,
rinse with hot water and drain again.
Put in the oven or over hot water
to keep warm. Melt three tablespoons
of butter, add three tablespoons of fine
dry bread crumbs and one-half tea
spoon minced onion. Stir constantly
over a hot fire until the crumbs are
crisp and brown. Stir these into the
noodles and serve with gravy or meat
instead of potato.

Fashion Trends.

Fashion thrives on contradiction and
contrast. A glance through fashion
magazines Of former years reveals rad
ically different lines IN feminine wear
ing appareL-short skirts, trailing skirts,
tight skirts, fared and flounced ones,
puffy sleeves and tight sleeves, simply
cut frockS and very elaborate ones.
Not very long ago the chemiSe frock
solved the problem of the home dress
maker. Any one could make a dress
by simply folding a. piece OF cloth in
two, cutting away the fabric under
the arms and sewing up the seams.

Black shows its versatility this Fall

vividly smart about it when used with

purpose? First, and foremost, is to

to get you into one of the city hos

the inmates at the Old Folks Home,
with fruit, flowers or some such
token.
Now this group of earnest women
have come to the end of their first
years work together and as we look
back upon it, it is with mingled emo
tions Pride in the work which we
have accomplished; regret for that
which we have left undone, and cha
grin for that which we could have
done but didn't do. We have shared
joys, sorrows and criticisms together.
We are still working together with
the same earnest view of purpose,
but with clearer vision, broader hor-
izon, truer conception and greater
determination to go forward with this
work of serving the community.

HOOVER ADVISED

Committee Waits Upon Secretary of
Commerce Requesting Abolition
of Humiliating Con-

PROMISES AN INVESTIGATION

New York City-Herbert Hoover,
United States secretary of commerce,
has granted hearing to committee
which protested to him against seq
regation in the census bureau and,
according to report from Neval H.
Thomas, president of the Washington
branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, Mr.. Hoover has promised to in
vestigate the entire situation. Mr..
Thomas writes as follows:
Secretary Hoover granted our
committee a hearing on Monday,
Messrs. Nelson, Pinkett and Johnson.
We presented complaint against seq
regation in the census bureau where
there are 1S competent colored clerks
segregated behind pile of boxes un-
der a colored sub-chief. There are
also five colored clerks confined in a
room by themselves in another wing
of the large building of this same bu-
reau.
1--WE presented the arguments
against segregation and the whole in
jury it does us. The secretary said
he sympathized with our protest and
department He said he would look
into the matter at once, and that he
disapproved of segregation.
1--WE told him of the small number
of Negro clerks in the main building
of his department on Pennsylvania
avenue. Of the hundreds in this vast
structure, only three are colored. We
told him of the superior quality of
the colored people who are in the
civil service because the whites of
their caliber could get far more re-
munerative employment. We showed
him that if his subordinates and the
civil service adhered to the merit sys-
TEN, there would be dozens more of
Negro clerks appointed.
"He promised to look into the
whole situation and let US know. He
sent me letter recently, saying that
the director of the census had just
returned from Europe and that he is
taking the case under advisement
with him."
Mr.. Thomas also reports that the
Washington branch of the N. A. A.
