Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Establishing Motives.

Some years ago poorly investigated
murder case held the first page columns
of our newspapers. A Scotland Yard
detective, asked his opinion on the diff
Guilty involved in experimenting the muir
derer, replied: Il would first seek to
establish the motive. After that would
know in what direction to look for the
man." Now what does 1t mean to eStab-
liSh motive? @g
One set of psychologists says that
human motives are springs of action.
They represent motive as a sort of
Jack in-the-boX" ready to jump out
when something is released If you fol-
low this theory completely, you are sure
TO say that everything pertaining to hu-
man behavior may be explained me-
chanically.
This springs of action theory is a
hopeless one SO far as practical inter-
probation OF human behavior is con-
cerned. The sources of motives are too
complex. The jack-in- the-box idea
goes to pieces the moment you lose sight
of q direct chain of acts
Motives have history. And this his
tory, if 1t is ever known, must take into
account great many apparently unre-
lated circumstances. Does any one know,
or can he ever know, everything another
person thinks about, dreams about,
hopes for, and fears?
The time will never come when cir
cumStantial evidence will be done away
with. The idea that a person should
never be accused or convicted on cir
cumstantial evidence alone may be le-
gally correct, but psychologically incor-
rect. The letter of the law and the
established rules of evidence are ap-
proXimations.
In order to establish motive for a
given act, you need to take into consid-
Grafton long chain of wishes, hopes
and fears. These are the names we all
use to explain how we feel in the pres
ence of any situation. These feelings
dominate our thoughts from moment to
moment, and just as surely determine
what we do. IF you are seeking Grim
inal, you are looking for man with a
given set of feelings. He may or may
not be the first person seen in the
neighborhood of the crime. AS a rule he
is not
We all tend to hide our motives even
IN the little things of everyday life
Perhaps the best way to establish a
motive is to study the alibi5 a person
gives for his behavior. There is weak
spot somewhere. This weak spot will
complete the chain of circumstantial
evidence.

His Friends.

Bob and I are breaking up. I can
see it. We're having quarrels every
day. He doesn't seem to love me the
way he did. And It's all the fault OF
those friends of his-snobbish, superior
friends They've come between Bob
and me-" says Judy, very bitterly 81.
Judy got engaged to Bob in a small
town and then he took her to New
York to meet his family and all his
nice friends. Judy is pretty and anus
ing, but she isn't just the latest word,
if you know what mean. She doesn't
look frightfully smart or sophisticated
or that sort of thing.
And most of Bobs friends do. They're
all poised, clever, modern yound things
who stand in awe of no one. Judy, to
be perfectly frank with herself, does
stand in awe of them q little.
Then too, they are a closely united
little group, They've known Bob for
years-all of them. They can renlem-
Der all sorts Of things about him. They
refer to past good times, in which Judy
had no part, with loud bursts of laugh
ter over this party or that.
Judy on meeting this little crowd felt
instinctively that she had no part In 1t
that they only suffered her because
she was going to be Bobs wife,
She compared herself with the other
girls and found herself wanting. She
worried herself into state of nerves
about the thing. Her inferiority COM
pick grew and waXed stronger day by
day. She found herself unable to talk
to those smart young people who knew
Bob SO much better than she did And
of course she came to hate them. She
began to wish she'd never have to see
- Doh
away from them all. To this end she
could find some nicer friends. She made
catty careful remarks about the girls,
ran down the boys as unobtruSively as
possible.
Bob was at first amused, then irri-
tated, and finally, of course, disguised.
Judy's manner toward his friends an
noyed him more than anything else in
the world. He didn't blame them for
it. He knew, because he knew them
SO we'll; that they had done their best
to draw Judy into their circle. She
had refused that implied offer because
of her timidity,
Bob doesn't understand Judy's atti-
ture because Judy is too proud to tell
him the truth. Therefore, the whole
mess is Judy's fault, and it's up to her
to get out of 1t by using common
sense and her best efforts,
She imagines an attitude Of hostility
in Bob's friends because she herself
feels hostile to them. She is jealous
of their long association with her man;
she is jealous of their super-sophistica-
ton and ease.
Instead of making friends with them,
allowing them to help her and teach
her what she so badly wants to learn,
she's deliberately cutting herself off
from them and from Bob's affection.
Never try to rob man of his best
friends If you want to hold him. Learn
to make them like you If you would
continue to make him love you.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper, provided stamped,
addressed envelope is inelosed Also she
will be glad to send Food to Conversation
and How to Ovecome Self-Consciousness."

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO


Ideally we get married because we
are in love, because We have found our
soul mate
In real life there are many other
reasons for getting married, such as
bettering goneis station through alliance
with an influential family, rising in the
social scale, rearing children, having
home. exercising exclusive rights over
another personality, and host of other
reasons. Several of these may, Of course,
operate at the same time.
A mans reasons for getting married
are different from woman's reasons
We are told that women used to
marry for economic reasons, to have
home, and to raise family. So many
of the modern married women do not
care for any OF these things that we
are obliged TO look further for an ex-
PLANTATION of why women marry. ,.s.
Women marry for love more often
than men. All authorities agree that

Most of our so-called profession
that Is, of my era-gave away our
purses as soon as we received them.
One Of the greatest lightweightS ever
| knew-and an eX-champion-died a
few years ago in an Eastern city. It
was necessary to collect purse to send
his body back to California.
There are very few grudge fights
I know two men who fought each other
In the ring 10 times. They usually had
dinner together after each contest.
Not long ago a man came to see me
and said that his young son wanted to
take up boxing professionally. He had
been doing some amateur fighting at
different clubs and thought he was
good enough to make some money at
it. What shall I do about it?' in
CURED the perplexed father.
II told him that, while ! thought
there were other trades to which his
son might devote his time more profit
ably, he might learn something about
life If he engaged in physical combat.
He would learn not to underestimate
his adversary, how to take punch as
well as to deliver one, how to keep him
self fit and ready for all emergencies
and most of all, resourcefulness. He
would learn, too, how to remain calm
in the face of impending disaster,
"One night was seated at the ring
side when Benny Leonard, then the
lightweight champion, met Richie
Mitchell in defense of his title. Miss
Anne Morgan promoted the affair.
Thousands of dollars had been Wagered
OH the result. In the first round
Leonard knocked Mitchell down three
times for the count of nine. 1t looked
as though the fight was in the bag for
the champion, when suddenly the half
blind contender shot OUT rapier-like
right and caught Leonard on the jaw,
The blow sent the champion to the
floor. where he remained for eight
seconds.
The crowd howled as it anticipated
seeing the passing of a championship.
Leonard, at the count of eight, sat up
and motioped to Mitchell to come on.
