Everyday Psychology
Nervousness.
Abe Martin Saws:
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs

Plain nervousness is the besetting all
ment in modern life; 1t seems to be
on the increase. Physicians are frank
ly puzzled about it. Trained to look
for physical symptoms, the physician
begins his diagnosis by an inquiry into
physical disabilities. What does he
find? First one symptom, then an
other. His daily visitations reveal the
fact that nervousness may take on a
multitude of forms AS a rule he be-
comes so embarrassed with the case,
that he preScribes a trip to California
Florida, or abroad.
Turn now to the psychologist. What
does he find?. Two things. First, the
patient is laboring under the fantastic
belief that he is unable to cope with his
present surroundings. In the second
place, the patient attempts to devise
some scheme for excusing or overcom-
ing his weakness.
Both of these are purely psychology
cal in nature. The many physical
symptoms which the nervous man dis
plays are merely excuses for not meet
ing the many different situations which
he breads to face. Nervousness is an
excuse an evasion, falsehood, origin
ating in the unconscious.
one OF the Outstanding cnaracCerlS-
tics of nervousness is the inability of
the sufferer to concentrate his atten-
ton. He is somewhat in the position
of rabbit hard-pressed by hound
He knows not where to turn, but turn
somewhere he must. His attention is
divided; he is trembling mentally; he
is fleeing in several directions at the
same moment This divided attention
is responsible for an unusual expendi-
ture Of energy. Exhaustion is the last
stage; he has suffered nervous
breakdown" However you study ner-
vousness it seems to be plain matter
of fearful authorizations.

foot was fussy-everything had to be

fussy. But when the nest was finished
he was glad she had been fussy.
Now" said Mrs. Whitefoot, I'VE VIII
think about food
There was, of course, the oatmeal
which they had discovered when they
first came in, but oatmeal wasn't sum-
Gent. They wanted variety. So they
scampered about on the shelves and
presently one of them knocked can
off onto the floor. The cover came on
Out poured a lot OF sunfiower SEEDS
Farmer Browns Boy had taken them IN
through the Winter to feed the birds.
THESE were some that had been left
over. This was a find. indeed! The big
ewes of Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot
fairly sparkled They ate some. Then
they carried the rest into that firebox
and stored them in another corner
They didn't leave seed. This was q
splendid start for the Winter. although
Winter was a long way off. The oatmeal
and the seeds were all they could find.
They would have to go outside for other
food.
"Of course" said Whitefoot, 1--WE
wouldn't want to stay in here all the
time, anyway. The main thing is to
have a perfectly safe place to run to
when an enemy appears. am sure
that we can find plenty to eat without
going very far away. Let's go out and
look around"
So Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot went
out to look around. OF course. they ran
all over the roof of the sugar house and
peeped into every nook and Granny.
Mrs. Whitefoot surprised a big beetle
and bounced on 1t. Later Whitefoot
found another. They were good eating.
Right near the sugar house was a big
beech tree. It was too early for nuts
yet, but Whitefoot soon discovered that
there were going to be plenty OF nuts.
That settled it. They would have a
wonderful Winter with plenty to eat.
Just as soon as those nuts were ripe
they could store away all they wanted.
"Whitefoot,' said little Mrs. White
foot, I'm glad that Yowler the Bobcat
and Mrs. FOWLER have kittens"
"Why?" demanded Whitefoot, looking
very much puzzled.
Because" replied Mrs. Whitefoot, IF
they hadn't we would not have been
frightened into moving and so would
have missed this wonderful place"
HUH" was all that Whitefoot replied.
