Everyday Psychology
Expressing Emotions.
ny DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Good poets and good psychologists
have something in common. The poet
must first of all be psychologist. Psy-.
choloey Is the unverbalized meaning OF
life, poetry the verbalized meaning OF
life.
II the foregoing premises are ad-
mitted, Freud, the misunderstood, the
misinterpreted. the misrepresented, is
entitled to q lite defense. When he
says whoever is silent with the lips,
tattles with the flnger-tips," he states Q
great psychological fact In words that
come pretty close to being poetry. The
Bard Of Avon knew the facts 300 years
ago: There Is no art to read the minds
construction in the face"
The average man supposeS that his
average neighbor betrays his every emo
ton in some facial expression. 1t must
be confessed that the face is q very
| mobile part of the anatomy. For that
| very reason it is very educable, very
obedient to the will. The poker face"
came in long before poker. Those who
poker face have not taken their hands
| and staked their odds in the game Of
life. -
The tongue is still more mobile, still
more educable, still more comfortable.
1t is the eficient medium for conmu-
nicating states of mind. Those who
have not learned to use the tongue
properly or to refrain properly from
using 1t have not had much experience
| in the game Of living.
What we call white lies," rationaliza-
| tons and excuses are nothing other
than the details of pictured poker
face, expressed in words rather than in
muscular contractions of the face.
| These controls Of the face and tongue
are not only natural, but necessary. Pre-
sumo no more Of them than you would
If you were the other fellow.

Mr.. Percival Plug, the groom, is a
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Plug The groom's
father was well known corn doctor,

most distinguished names in the coun-

useless, indolent person who was once
locked up in the town jail for vagrancy
His great-grandfather was hung for

groom's aunts deserted during the war
and is still at large. An uncle embez-

aged fellow who spoke spiritedly Of his

to motor to his house the following
week. Twenty-four hours later the man
was under arrest, charged with mis-

Referring to bandits recalls an Incl
dent that occurred number OF years
tured and locked In county jail. They
were agreeable fellows whose appearance
belied their profession. Genteel and
even gentle under lock and key they dis
played no mercy when it came to stick
ing up banks. They were quick on the
draw and left q crimson trail when in
terfered with. Peaceful, law-abiding cit
liens i1eaved q sigh of relief when they
learned that the bandits had been ap-
pretended. Soon they would come to
trial and . jury would see that they re-
ceiyed the punishment they merited.
The Jail was stout one and vigilantly
guarded. To insure their safe keeping
extra officers were deputized to keep the
robbers under constant surveillance.
Despite the vigilance, the countryside
awoke one morning to learn with
amazement and fear that the yeggs had
escaped and were probably hiding in the
vicinity. Housewives bolted and chained
their doors and q reign Of terror began.
A posse was organized and heavily
armed men searched diligently for the
z1gitives.

Galleries and Vitamins.

In an editorial headed "Are Galleries
70 Suffer Fate Of all Has-Beens?'
written in a California newspaper last
year, the writer, commenting on the
discovery of new vitamins, says:
But in our enthusiasm over
the vitamins let us not forget the
unfortunate calories. Not so long age
they were the whole cheese. Came
the vitamin and the calory was out
of a job. More vitamins. The un-
employment rate among calorieS has
grown to be something frightful. Mo-
body ever gives them a thought. Their
old friends might agitate for an en-
ployment dole, or, at least, establish
a home for INDECENT calories. They were
faithful servitors as long as they had
a job, and they helped expand many
a waistband. They deserve Something
better than utter neglect"
Yes, indeed, the calories deserve
something better than utter neglect
and I'm surprised that an editorial
writer should neglect them so much
that he doesn't even know the meaning
of the word. The calory is simply
a scientific unit used to measure the
energy and heat producing value Of
foods, and 1t has no connection what

ever with the vitamins, which are In
herent principles of the food, and can
not be measured by calories, for there
is no relationship between them. In
the first place, the vitamins haven't
been isolated, and in the second place,
it is not their function to produce en-
ergy or heat, except In roundabout
way, in promoting general well being.
No, indeed, the calory is not, nor
will it ever be, haS-been, unless some
other unit to measure the energy and
heating value of foods is found which
serves the purpose better. This edi-
torial writer also is mistaken ip think
ing that everybody Is forgetting about
the calory. The overweighters, the
underweighters and the diabetes. and
