neys westward"
The results to be accomplished by
the Oddie bill. authorizing additional
funds for roads through large Federal
reservations. are indicated by the fol-
lowing excerpt from the report OF the
Department of Agriculture on the
measure:
Roads for West.
"rhe funds which the bill would
authorize to be appropriated would
make 1t possible to materially expedite
the construction of the main roads
across the vast areas embraced in Fed
eral reservations in a number Of the
States I'm the West. It has for some
time been recognized as very desirable
that some means be found for hasten
ing the completion of the main roads
which cross these Federal reservations
i'm States whose resources are limited
and which derive very little direct
benefit from the construction of the
roads across lands owned by the Fed
eral Government"
In the allotting Of these funds pre-
ference would be given to projects fit
ting In to the Federal aid highway
system and the United States system
of numbered highways
The Joint resolution to have the agen
cies of this Government cooperate In
studying the proposal for longitudinal
highway communication traversing the
continent grew out Of suggestions made
at the sixth international conference
of American States at Havana. Under
the resolution. the President would ad-
wise Congress later Of any conclusions
which may be reached as result OF the
study whici, Is to be given the PROPOSE
ton this Summer.
Another bill. which would authorize
the President to detail engineers from
the Bureau of Public Roads to assist
Latin America republics In working
out their highway problems came up in
the Senate during the week, but was
postponed for later consideration.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

who requires a coZy apartment or
house, a little car to take you to
places, an occasional seat at concert
or theater, and a desire to travel a bit,
economic independence for you may
start at $4,000 year.
Many women sacrifice comforts and
pleasures now, that they may have them
later in life when they may be taken at
leisure. We do not dispute either their
judgment or decision.
There are others willing to gamble
bit on the future who merely tide away
enough to look after their necessaries
in the Autumn of life. They do not
contemplate either spinsterhood or in
activity. Economic independence for
them spells freedom from care over
suffering actual want
No matter what ones views may be-,
1t is highly probable that few of us
would care to be forced in our dotage
to do without the comforts to which we
have grown accustomed over lifetime
A light-hearted few will fiippantly re-
mark, I'VE don't expect to live that
long" or well let the future take care
of ITSELF" but deep in their hearts is a
real impelling ambition to have SUM-
cient ammunition to drive away the
proverbial wolf should he appear at the
door.
Economic independence does not
mean fortune Few of us, relatively,
have the opportunity to accumulate for
tunes. 1t simply means a place to
dwell in, food to eat and clothes to
protect us. This is within reach of us
all in varying degrees, and 1t is only
denied to those with uncommon Ill
fortune or unfortunate poor judgment.

Chatterer Isn't Worried,

Unlike his cousin, Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel, Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel was not worried by the failure OF
the beechnut crop and of the acorn
crop. He was disappointed, for he likes
beechnuts, but he was not worried.
Chatterer's storehouse would not be
empty, even though he could not md
a single beechnut or a single acorn.
When he was sure that 1t would re-
quire more work than they were worth
to get some of the few beechnuts every
one was looking for, Chatterer slipped
away by himself. He went straight over
to a certain pine tree.
"Beechnuts are all right" said Chat
terer, but if can have plenty of pine
seeds and spruce seeds some one else
can have the nuts. It's a good thing
that I like these seeds and know how
to get them. They must be about ready
now to be cut"
Chatterer ran up the tree and out on
one of the upper branches where a
number of cones hung. Those cones
were still tightly closed. They were
not yet ripe enough to open. This
suited Chatterer. He cut off every one
of the cones on that particular branch,
and he chuckled as he watched them

Everyday Psychology
The Dominant Tendency.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

If it were possible to strip the daily
conduct of the average human being OF
the products of civilization, what would
we find? A set of what may be called
dominant tendencies. Some would call
these dominant tendencies original ma
ture; others would call them instincts;
still others in turn would call them
urges, drives, reflexes, impulses. neuro-
muscular units. or perhaps penaVlor
patterns.
The first and most important of these
dominant tendencies has rightly been
called the will to live" or "self-preser-
vation." All other tendencies are mere
ly parts of 1t. We rarely see 1t in the
rough, /. e., in its natural forms. 1t
must have taken the race few million
wears, at least, to tone this tendency
down so that every one might have a
reasonable chance to survive. Life Is
now a cooperative enterprise. 1t used
to be selfish proposition. Civilization
is democracy written in high letters.
Egotism, greed and chicanery are some
of the names we use to describe the un-
civilized aspects Of the dominant tend
ency.
In order to understand psychology in
everyday lie, q person neeuS W ACeP
his observation focused on the will to
live" It will not do to think much
about it's sordid aspects. In the end
most of them are really virtues, because
they follow natures laws.
The man who has lost a lot OF the
will to live will make fewer social mis-
takes because he rarely does anything.
But when the will to live drives him to
attempt this and that, he will get into
traffic jams of all kinds, and. not notic-
ing that others are travelling the same
road, may accidentally lose his life.
The will to live. regardless of its
products, Is a sign of life. The value Of
that life is O relative matter, depending
on the level upon which the energies Of
the will to live are concentrated.

fall to the ground. Then he went to
another branch and did the same thing.
Not single one of those cones opened,
so not a seed was to be seen. YanK
Yank the nuthatch watched Chatterer
from a neighboring tree. Finally MS
curiosity got the better Of him.
Excuse me, Chatterer," said ne, but
why don't you wait until those cones
are ripe and open, so that the SEEDS
will drop out?" :,
Chatterer stopped work long enough
to look over at Yank Yank and, IN his
turn, asked a question: Did you ever
watch the seeds drop out Of an open
Gomez" he inquired.
Yank Yank nodded. "Of course ]
have" said he. :.
Did they drop straight down?"
Chatterer asked
Yank Yank thought for a moment.
Then he shook his head. mo" said
he, II don't believe they did. They
went spinning around and sort OF float
ing and came down some distance
away, especially If the wind were blow
ing" !. :.
"Right!" cried Chatterer. Nov II
I waited for the seeds to drop out OF
the cones I would have a pretty hunt
for them, wouldn't ~" AS 1t is. am
cutting off the cones They'll all drop
right beneath this tree. Then I can
take my time opening them and I'll
have all the seeds right there. am
just using a little common sense, Yank
Yank, that's all"
With this, Chatterer ran out on an
other branch and went to work on the
cones on that. Those sharp teeth OF
his cut them off easily. Chatterer Is a
worker when he wants to work. No one
can ever call him lazy. Looking across
from the top of that pine tree he saw
q fir tree with heavy crop OF small
cones. "Aha!p said Chatterer to him
self. wen have little variety this
Winter. When I have cut of all these
pine cones I'll go cut some of those fir
cones"

the Gray Squirrel, and his other cousin,
Rusty the Fox Squirrel, were running
this way and running that way, trying
to find a few nuts and having hard
work to do it, Chatterer was harvesting
his Winter supply of food, with the
certainty that there would be no dan
ger of going hungry It is very salts
factory feeling, this feeling that you
have plenty, and Chatterer was enjoy
ing it to the utmost.
'I'm sorry for those fellows" said he,
thinking of his cousins. They'll have
to hustle or starve this Winter. It Is
too bad that they haven't learned how
to harvest pine seeds. but 1t Is just as
well, perhaps, so far as am concerned.
If they should find one of my store
houses they would eat these seeds fast
enough, but they won't take the trou-
BILE to harvest them But they won't
find my storehouse. No, sir, they won't
find my storehouse.

Scarfs Which Match Nightgowns

II you want to give some school or

are planning your contribution to some
engaged girls bridal shower, then by
all means buy or make lace-trimmed
crepe de chine nightgown with scarf
to match. If you make the little set
you will need no pattern for the scarf.
A square Of the material edged with
lace makes one of the sort that can
be folded diagonally to form triangle.
If YOU are making two nightgowns of
the same material then you might
make triangular scarfs, since one square
of the material will provide the two.
II your material is wide and the night
gown narrow you may have strip of
material left after cutting that will be
wide enough for one of the oblong sort.
After all is said concerning fashion,
able lingerie colors, flesh color or very
light pink is most generally admired
and becoming. The new note is given
by lace trimming of a pronounced
cream or ecru. Sometimes black lace
is used with fiesh-colored crepe de
chine Orchid is dainty and pretty but
less likely to be becoming. Pure white
trimmed with ecru has an air of good
breeding and as departure from the
usual light blue with cream-colored
lace is a good selection.

pots and pans sparkling, sweet

Then along came the efficient

not to let housekeeping destroy their

They looked at these eternally

They determined to keep their hands

they swash clean a big broiler that

 The authorities of the university were informed that the library was the outright gift of the American people, and that it was the right of the university authorities alone to determine what the inscription was to be and they were commended for their attitude in the matter.
