Clothes Rejecting Joyous Moods
BY MARY MARSHALL.

I can remember we'll that as soon
as the great war was over the predlc-
tion was made that women would wear
bright colors as manifestation OF their
relief. But such predictions were not
realiZed-because, in spite Of the renet
women felt that the actual war was
done with, the depression caused by the
struggle was by no means entlroly
lifted. We have gone through NUMBER
cf moods together since that time, out
this mood of real postwar Joyousnesa
has been long, long time in coming
Now at last women are willing TO wear
bright colorS.
Sports clothes this season especially
reflect the joyous mood Of the time.
There is nothing subtle or restrained or
5ubdued about them. One gives a little
gasp of surprise at first seeing the new
mittens, gloves, socks and stockings
that are chosen by women for skating,
skiing and other snow and ice pastimes.
Green. red, yellow and purple are
brought together without intermediate
blending and often tho background OF
these colors is pure white, which only
makes the Colors seem more vivid and
daring.
This weeks help for the home dress
maker tells how to make a number OF
new blanket stitches suitable fcr finish
ing hens of jumpers, scarfs. pockets,
etc They are very useful IN elVlng
attractive finish to clothes for children.
On receipt of your STAMPED, self ad-
dressed envelope / will gladly send 1t

A Sermon for Today
Making Up Your Mind.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text: Let every man be fully per-
suaded in his own mind. Rom. las.
A reader Of these sermons was re-
Gently called upon to give talk at
young people S meeting on What
Makes Up Ny Mind?" and wrote me
for suggestions.
The question is an interesting one for
all of us. Just how do most of us gen.
orally make up cur minds about things?
Take for example ths matter of politics.
We have Just gpna through a national
election. How many Cf us voted for
Smith or Hoover as result of matured
deliberation? Did we really think
things through for ourselves? Or were
we just swept into one or the other of
the political camps by the tides Of
prejudice and passion that surged
around us? 1t would be a WORT: We.
experiment if eaCh Of us would so back
and try honestly to discover Just how
We made up our minds about which of
the candidates we would vote for.
We might go on with the same ex-
pertinent as touching other matters.
BY the time we have covered the va
rlous notions, beliefs and opinions we
hold, I suspect the experiment would
bring to most Of us a startling revela-
ton. We boast of our independence,
but how independent ere we? We pride
ourselves in our opinions. but are our
opinions really our own? We claim
the right TO worship God according to
the dictates of our own conscience, but
how many of us follow the dictates of
our own conscience in Worship? We
Americans make great ado about per-
sonal liberty. freedom of thought free
dom of speech, but do we really exer-
else our freedom in these things?
Anyway little reflection along this
line might be helpful

Buster waited. He wanted to be sure
that everybody in the farmhouse was
asleep When at last he thought he
had waited long enough he started to-
ward the pigpen. But he had gone only
few steps when he turned and ran
back into the woods. He thought he
had heard noise from the farmhouse.
He waited long time and then tried
again.
This time he was almost over to the
pen when a horse in the barn stamped.
Away went Buster, straight back to the
woods. He certainly was jumpy. This
time he decided that he didn't want to
see those pigs. I'll go Off" said Buster,
land I won't come back. I've seen those
pigs once and they'll look just the same
the second time. Looking at them won't
do me any good anyway. 1 want to
taste one. not see one. But I'm not
going to taste one, because it might get
me into trouble. So if I am not going
to taste one, what is the good of staying
around just to see one? I won't do it.
I'll go away right now"
Buster walked few steps then turned
and walked back again. Then he sat
down, looking out toward that pen. As
he sat there his head swung from side
to side, as Bears heads have a way of
doing. He just couldn't tear himself
away One of the wandering Little
Night Breezes brought the pig smell over
to him. You and wouldn't have liked
that smell We wouldn't have liked
it at all. But to Buster Bear it was
the most tantalizing smell possible. No
wonder he couldn't tear himself away

Facts and Fairy Tales.

Children delight in fairy tales and
believe in them implicitly. It is the
ability to distinguish fact from fancy
that is. or should be, the outstanding
characteristic of the adult mind; and
yet there are many of us grown-ups who
pin our faith to ideas that are quite as
fantastic as those found in the favorite
folklore of our childhood days. This is
particularly true in the field of beauty
culture, where quack remedies abound.
Today I have space to discuss only
one of these fallacies that women are
tempted to believe. 1t is that there is
any other way than exercise for avoiding
that thick, niddle-aged look that comes
around the Waist and hips of these who
are engaged. in sedentary occupations.
Some of my readers want to believe that
a good fairy in the form of a pretty bath

cream or rubber corset c3n restore 1.-the,
girlish lines to their figures without any
extra exertion on their part. If fat were
as easy to lose as that there would be
no awkward. stout figures; every woman
would have bathing suit figure"
The only way to get rid of those ugly
pads Of fish on diaphragm, abdomen
and hips is to exercise the muscles in
these regions. I am suggesting below
a group of simple exercises for this
purDose that should be performed from
10 to 20 times a day after one has be-
come accustomed to them. About six
reDetitions, however, are all the novice
should indulge in for the first two weeks
Exercise l. Stand erect with feet
apart and hands out at the level of the
shoulders Twist the trunk to the right,
bend from the waist (knees straight)
and touch the right toe with your left
hand. Raise and rep2at to the left,

Buster Bear Is Jumpy.

Buster Bear tried to fool himself. He
tried to make himself believe that he
was surprised to find himself back at
the place from which he had started
in the morning. Nov, how did get
here?" said Buster to himself. How
under the sun did 1 get here? Why
this is the place I was running away
from. and here am back again! Well.
now that 1 am here. believe I'll have
another look at those pigs. A look isn't
going to hurt anybody"
But Buster didn't start right over to
the pigpen. In the first place, there
were lights in the little farmhouse, SO
he knew the farmer had not gone to
bed In the second place. he heard a
dog bark over in the barnyard and
dogs always make him nervous. So he
decided that he would not have look
at those pigs until the lights were out
in the farmhouse and the dog had
stopped barking.
But while he waited he couldn't keep
still. He wandered about uneasily, keep
ing all the time in the blacklist shadows
He kept his ears open their very widest
all the time. Every little sound he
heard would make him jump. He was
very jumpy. indeed. Yes, sir Buster
Bear was very junpy, indeed That was
because he was nervous.
At Last he saw the light go out in
the farmhouse He had heard nothing
of that dog for a long time, for the
dog had been called into the house

No End of Books

So many books we ought to read, so

are loaded down with tones that would
impart much bliss, by authors of a high

miss. One must have time to earn his
bread. to wade around in honest sweat.
and so some books remain unread, much
to his sorrow and regret. l read five
tons Of books a year, I steep myself in

when ! fear I am not wiser than be-
fore. I'm reading volumes when l

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
Two WAYS to Learn.

We all learn different things on diff
ferent mental levels There is what
NAV be called a brain level and thate
is also muscleSlevel. In other WORDS,
we acquire two kinds of habits: brain
habits end muscle habits. This
amounts to two kinds of learning and
two wavs OF going about it.
If vcu once learn to pitch a curved
ball. play tennis, swim. skate. ride a
bicycle, operate a typewriter. drive an
automobile. play mouth organ. flip
coin IN your sleeve, you are likely
to remember how TO do these things
pretty we'll long after you have quit
pra cticing them. You do lose some
skill in. say. or 10 years OF nom
practice But soon with a little prac-
tice YOU rsgoin most of what you lost.
Habits OF this class belong to the
muscle level The habit connections are
made III the nerves CT the muscles.
In the early stages of acquiring such
h9hits YOU are often surprised to find
th7t psrio5 CT non-nractice actually
sc"ncs to result in en ir1prOVe'@1 mt in
ne~f0rn1ence. That's why William
lanes long ago talked about learning
70 skate in Summer and learning to
swim in Winter. This isn't SO true for
+Aa second kind Of learning the kind
tl19t takes rlace on the brain level.
Such things as learning TO spell, to
translate Latin, to recite a poem. to
solve a. problem in arithmetic. algebra,
etc. belong to what hes been called the
brain Lowell The habit connections are
r1ode in the tiny cells located on the
sJrfaca Of the brain Such habits are
not lasting One needs to practice
them nr"tty regularly in order to retain
tha ability to perform them.
The difference between muscle habits
"r1 brain habits may be stated as fol-
lows: Over a non-practice period of
five years vcu Will have retained be-
tween so per cent and 90 per cent of
your original ability in the case of
muscle habits. During the same period
you will have forgotten something like
90 Per cent Of your original ability in
the case of brain habits.
