Incentives.

The place Of incentives in human be-
havior Is large one. Their psychology
Is important, their part In maintaining
mental fitness no less so. The body
mind machine Is run by urges; they
drive from within The urge for air,
for food, for rest, for mates, stand as
their type, with strong body feelings
to enforce them. The urge for excite
ment, occupation. adventure, fun, COM
partnership. contest, domination, admit
ration, fall in the mental circuit, are
more completely organized.
Incentives are added spurs to action
II the coquette, when the attentions
OF one sutton are waning, favors his
rival, she counts on the incentive Of
jealousy to quicken his interest, and 1t
acts just so far as the object Of the
scheme Is susceptible to jealousy as an
incentive.
Incentives are the PAGERS on motor
cycles to urge the bicycle racers to
keep up with them. They are the bum
die of hay held by the drivers whip
at the head of donkey. Incentives
become more indirect and more COM
pick as the intricacy Of human motives
increases under the stress of the social
system OF rewards and punishments.
of incentives to which you respond
Most of us work under pressure.
The urge to do would not be strong
enough without incentives-not to do
what we must to live and get on. How
much would be done If none Of us was
required to do anything? Gaining a
living, which we may call economic
pressure, and winning esteem and posi-
ton, which we may call social pressure.
are ever acting upon us, holding out
riches and reputation as a reward and
poverty and disgrace as punishment.
Does reward or Observation-Disclosures or
hell-play the larger part in the world
of incentives? The two form a single
team, the one urging you to forge
ahead, the other not to fall back
Some attempt has been made to find
the answer in experiment AS a test
person was told to press a key as
soon as he got the signal. or to press
the right key for the right signal. The
time was measured to the hundredths
Of second. BY practice each subject
soon was trained to about his lowest
record Of quick response Then the
incentive was added by asking each
subject to do his utmost to break his
record. AS consequence there was a
lowering of the reaction time on the
average Of 6 per cent. Then the SUBJ
iect was told that If he didn't react
quickly enough he would get an cleo
trio shock As fact, no matter how
quickly he reacted he got the shock
And this slight punishment lowered
the average time by is per cent:
So here 1t Is q to in favor of
punishment as against reward. But
both act as incentives. When these in
centives we're removed. the reaction
time heightened to the ordinary record
But experiment is one thing and thu
incentive that operates in daily life Is
another. When we work under pres
sure. we do bit better but do we paw
too much for our efforts. which at time
cause strain and worry? Yet without
the good Of incentives, work becomes
dull and many get bored and loll and
loaf and browse II the work is such

The vogue of ships in decoration has
brought another motif in its wake, one
that is as full of flavor of the sea as
the ship itself. namely, the fish. It is
surprising how much this motif is be-
Ing introduced into all sorts of decora-
tive schemes in filst crochet or cross
stitch. It forms the borders for lunch
con sets with a single fish embroidered
in the corner of each napkin. Ger
tainly this is an appropriate use, since
fish is a food enjoyed at every table,
and the fish course is one not TO omit
at formal dinners.
AS a decorative motif for q mans
room il is excellent Most men enjoy
fsring and delight in the fish stories

dictates. Surely the stitchery fish will

purpose. There appears 10 be an APP

The FISH motif is even used on sun
suits for children and on accessories for

tenn of proper incentive once established
you should be able to drive yourself.
The individual disposition enters.
For most of us routine work at regular
hours and steady pressure of need is
best. We need the flyVIneel Of regu-
larity to overcome a native inertia.
Putting things off until we feel the
urge is a difficult program, because it
requires more discretion and less lazt-
ness than many OF us possess. Things
must be done on time: yet our time

part of the original dispensation. We
just have to adopt 1t and fit into 1t

like to follow the fashion. It consists
of two fishes and wisp OF seaweed.
To use it as a border repeat the strip,
having the bit of seaweed come at the
beginning of each repeat.
This design can be used on curtains
and hangings. cushions and covers,
book ends and all sorts of household
accessories. For a man or boys room
good color schemes are found in tan
with brown embroidery. the green of
the sea and black or aquamarine for
the embroidery AS indicated. there
should be a depth of color suggestive
of strength in the decoration for a

For luncheon set the border can be
done in filet crochet and be all In white
or natural linen color to match the
cloth. Or the pattern can be done in
cross stitch and the color stressed by
having the cloth a delicate green and
the border in gray-blue, with green
fishes or black apparently disporting IN
the blue of the ocean. The Seaweed
may be delicate or deep pink in real

July ., fs64.--Before the advance OF
strong force of Confederate invaders
the Union troops under Gen. Lew Wal
lace have been compelled to fall back
from Frederick. Md. according to re"
ports reaching here today from the vi
cinity of Frederick, and from Baltimore
The Confederate force is said to be
moving In the direction of Washington:
One report is that a large force OF
the enemy has crossed the Potomac
River at Edwards Ferry and moved IN
the direction of Urbana. IN FREDERICK
County. probably with the intention OIL
outfianking the troops under Gen. wal
lace. Edwards Ferry is only about 50
miles above Washington.
Various estimates have been received
concerning the size of the Confederate
force, ranging from $4,000 to SU,ooo
men 1t is composed of infantry, cav
airy and some artillery This informa-
ton was brought In this morning by
passengers arriving by train from Balti-

ing that city from the region around
Frederick
Gen. Wallace is now posted in po-
sition of strength along the Monocacy
River between the Confederate invading
force and Washington. Reinforcements
are being rushed to him to prevent
him from being dislodged. His force is
inferior to that of the Confederates In
numbers. Stirring news from the Mo-
nocacy is expected hourly. It is feared
that in case of defeat the Union force
will be unable to prevent the Confed-
crates from marching on Washington,
and considerable alarm prevails here.
Confederate raiders have been active
during the last few days In Virginia. A
scouting party of $50 Union soldiers
from the I'd Massachusetts, and the 18th
New York Cavalry was attacked by a
large force of riflemen with piece OF
artillery under Moseby near Aldie a
day or two ago. Moseby killed 10 or

force. including horses and accouter-
ments.
The affair caused great indignation
among the Union soldiers. AS soon as

A Sermon for Today
Hurting Feelings of Friends,
by REV. JOHN X. GUM.

Text: THE spirit of man Will stis-
tain his infirmity: but wounded spirit
who can bear?"-Prov. Xviii.f4.
There is scarcely anything harder to
bear than a wounded spirit. There Is
hardly anything from which one SUI
fers more keenly than from hurt feel
ings.
Many man will bear up stoutly and
bravely enough under physical infirm-
ity, but let somebody wound his spirit.
let some one hurt his feelings, and he
becomes crushed and broken.
1t Is not our enemies that hurt our
feelings, 1t is our friends or those We
regard as friends We expect reproaches
and ill-treatment from our enemies,
Their treachery and mistreatment does
not cut into our hearts. We can take
their thrusts and insults gracefully
enough. But we expect better from
our friends To be betrayed and hurt
by those we consider our friends-~that
Is the deepest cut the human heart
eyer suffers.
Yet. as badly as 1t pains us to be
hurt by our friends, some of us forget
this when 1t comes to our treatment
of them. We ought to apply the
Golden Rule to our friends and do unto
them as we would have them do unto
us. We ought to remember that their
feelings are as tender as our ewn. and
that they are as badly hurt as we are
when friend stabs them In the heart
by some unkindly deed or act of be-
trayal.
Some people expect every considers-
ton from their friends but give them
little consideration In return. They
will slight q friend and expect that
friend to take no exception to Il. But
let that friend slight them, even In the
smallest way, and they are peeved be-

How Much Water

5aby specialists agree nowadays,
that during the first six months.
babies must have three ounces eof
fluid per pound Of body weight daily.
An eight pound baby. for instance,
needs twenty-four ounces of fluid.
Later on the rule is two ounces OF
fluid per pound Of body weight. The
amount of fluid absorbed by a breast
fed baby is best determined by
weighing him before and after feed
ing for the whole day; and il is
easily calculated for the bottle fed
one. Then make up any deficiency
with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often
relieves his feverish, crying. upset
