Everyday Psychology
Inherited Memories.
By ROBERT CULLEN.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs

The color of your eyes, hair and
complexion and your general bodily
makeup have a history. This history
is a true but highly complicated story
Of your ancestral connections. In no
sense are you able to trace the history
of this or that particular trait to its
origin. Very generally you make no
effort to do so. So far as the body
goes, inheritance Is an accepted fact
needing no proof save its own existence
How about mental states? Are not
some Of them, at least, inherited from
our ancestors?
Every one now and then has a brief
mental state, which, so far as he can
discover, bears no relation to past per-
Sonal experiences. The French call
such experiences states of "deja va
(already seem. According to DR.. Jung
of Switzerland, From all these signs
1t must be concluded that the soul has
in some degree historical strata, the
oldest stratum Of which would CORE
spond to the unconscious"
philosophically minded psychologists
are nowadays insisting that memories
are Just as Unbeatable as are physical
traits. Their claim is that every infant
comes into this world already equipped
with a storehouse Of memories, which
reach far back into the history OF the
race.
To prove this theory they study
principally three things: Poetry, day
doreams and night dreams.
In poetry Wordsworth's lode. on
limitations OF Immortality" Is a fav-
orite reference:
"The soul that rises from us, our lfe's
star
Hath elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from affair.""
AS to dreams, either of the night or
day variety, the theory is that they
are mixtures of our personal expert
ences and wishes, and the experiences
and wishes Of our unknown ancestors,
some of whom may have lived mil
lion years ago. The parts of these
dreams which we cannot account for
are said to belong to a racial uncon-
scious. They are vestiges of our psy-
Geological ancestry, mysterious only be-
cause we get through them but faint
glimpses of the minds of our forbears.

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

It is seldom a good idea to figure on
what the other fellow is likely to do.
A few years ago a woman well known
in her vicinity took boxing lessons and
challenged the feminine world. One
day she met hostile female who knew
nothing about boxing and seized the
lady boxers hair and held on until she
cried, "Enough"
We recently heard of a most unusual
case. A man employed IN large local
tune tellerS. One Of them told him
that he had an enemy In his office, and
warned him to be careful. The man
brooded over the warning and began to
wonder who it was. So far as he knew,
he hadn't an enemy in the world. The
more he thought about it, however, the
more convinced he became that one Of
his fellow workers was trying to knife"
him. 1t finally became an obsession.
One day he went to the boss and
poured some remarks into that persons
ears regarding the man whom he sus-
pected of being his enemy. Trouble
rather bewildered when his co-worker
suddenly stopped speaking to him. He
tried to think what he had done to
merit the frigidity.
Several years later he discovered
what had caused the trouble. The two
men are speaking and are good friends
again.
A young couple was invited to
friends home. AS they left their own
house, the young wife asked her huS-

(N,A.N.A).-Paul Leni's death makes

Pola Negri, Emil Jannings, Olgo Bacla-
nova, Conrad Veidt and Alexander and
Maria Corda, most of whom are scat
tered to the four points Of the COM
pass-in vaudeville tours, foreign pro-
auctions or retirement.
This foreign colony was one OF the
focal points of interest seldom pene-
trated by casual visitors to the village.
Americans rarely became familiar with
it. Those who moved In it thought In
the foreign idiom. They got plenty OF
American ways within the studio gates.
Home and social life were a means OF
forgetting or recreating a bit OF Euro
pean leisure and loneliness.
OF this colony was Dmitrt Bucho-
wetzki, brilliant Russian director. who
came to the village, cleaned up on ST.
lent pictures, took too long to shoot a
Barrymore opus of Russia, and received
his walking papers.
Buchowetzki wasn't bothered. He had
made plenty Of money and invested 1t
cannily, and perhaps he was trifle
weary of the village and its ways. He
didn't trouble to sell his big motor car
on the eve Of departure. There was a
chap who had done him favor OF

casually Buchowetzki gave him the car.
The movie colony entertained law
ishly for this genius, whom they called
"Buko" for short. Elaborate dinners
and extravagant breakfasts were given
in his honor. His wife was a princess
regal and beautiful, and with a manner
some Of the ladies Of the colony didn't
quite understand.
She gave a party to return some OF
the compliments showered upon her
husband and herself. Through some
fluke, either accidental or otherwise,
only one guest appeared. Frances
Marion, scenarist, arrived to find a
great table spread and the host and
hostess ready to receive. Nearly an
hour later the three sat down to dine,

gorgeous effects when the plants Of sew
eral kinds are all a-bloom. Some give
soft and restful effects when only the
green Of foliage plants is to be seen.
Or again plants with colorful foliage are
mingled with green giving artistic

1t will be seen that decoration is the
object Of these plant stands. The
stands themselves are attractive, and
when garnished with fiourishing plants
OF one or many varieties, the beauty Is
enhanced.
These stands come with few or many

plants. It may be said that the flower
pots can also add their notes Of deco
ration. They are conspicuous enough
to warrant being handsome. There are
choice Italian, Spanish and Czechoslo-

These wrought iron stands are so
constructed that they stand solidiy, and

A Sermon for Today
Porch Climbers.
BIT REV. JOHN r. QUINN.

Text: HE that climbeth up
some other way, the same is THIEF
and a robber."-John 10:1.
All along the line there are many who
are irving to climb up some other
way'-porch climbers. Some seek their
livelihood by porch climbing. In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread
is the divine law. But sweating Is dis
agreeable. So they 60 out to get their
bread by their wits, without toil-steal,
gamble, cheat. swindle. They will fa1l
in the end. God and nature say: II
any will not work, neither let him eat. .
These fellows who want bread ana
butter" and try to get around labor1ng
and sweating for it are liable to come
at last to bacon and beans" in the pen
itentiary.
What a host are those who are try
ing to climb up some other way" to
success. All have their success air cas-
ties But these castles can be reached
only by way of steep ladder that calls
for hard climbing. Many imagine,
however, that they can reach their cas-
tie by climbing up some other way"
by way Of some porch ladder, shorter
and easier to scale. They will run for
"get-rich-quick" scheme. They are due
for q disappointment. Real success is
not attained by porch climbing.
The text refers to those who imagine
they can porch-climb their way into
the kingdom Of heaven. 81 am the
door," says Christ. Entrance through
this door calls for repentance, humility,
self-renunciation sacrifice. Hence many
seek some other way" to climb in
through some easy porch window.
There is no porch window way into
any of LIES Kingdoms. Failure and
disappointment await all these porch
climbers.

Some Rules for Reducing.

II possible always like to start q
reducing diet with two or three day
fast, with liquid diet consisting OF
orange juice, consomme, very weak
tea, and as much cold water as you
wish to drink. This clears the stomach
size of the abdomen and waistline by
several inches, since it gets rid Of the
gas and mdigested food which dis
tend the figure.
If you do not wish to do this, you
can start reduction diet by eating
nothing but fruit, vegetables, and bran
for two or three days. This has the
stomach to shrink and does away with
craving for food, thereby making the
rest of the reduction easy.
You will be pleased to know that
you can now get non fattening but
ter and new type OF gluten bread
containing only half as much starch
as the old kind. Therefore, you can
plan your meals much more satisfac-
torily, since you can include bread and
later. Meantime I want to include a
few rules for reducing comfortably and
efficiently:
/. Use salt sparingly. A low salt In
take facilitates q loss of weight.
2. Eat three meals a day, and don't
60 hungry.
LIQUID at mealtine. Drink all the wa
ter you wish between meals.
4. Eat slowly and chew your food
well.
S. Exercise every day.
6. Never eat between meals.
The special gluten bread and the fat
less butter you can purchase are two
of the many Battle Creek food prod
ucts. The recipe for mountaineering
mayonnaiSe has been given here be-
fore and will be given again from time
to time. Remember that this is the
duction diet, and If you do it now you
should reduce two pounds every week
throughout the rest Of the summer.
J..R. NAT 10 years of age, height
five feet one and half inches. your
weight should be about 112 pounds
If you lost the extrI. five pounds, it
would make difference in the size
of your thighs. Your present diet is
not well chosen for nourishment and
also reduction, because while 1t is very
much thinned down, it contains mostly
starcheS. Starches, sugar and fats are
the fattening foods, so you should
eliminate portion OF these when you
merely wish to lose q small amount
of weight. Your sudden loss OF color
may easily be the result of fatigue
from the hot spells we had before you
wrote the letter, and you will regain
your freshness after you have picked
up again.

A grape butter which Nancy made
was favorite with many of her friends.
They called it butter, but it was really
a conserve. For 1t she used these direc-
tions. Pick grapes from stem and pulp
them. Keep skins for they are added
afterward. Cook pulp in small amount
water for Is minutes. Then put through
sieve. This removes seeds. Now add
skins. For each pound Of fruit measure
quarters pound sugar. Combine
and cook until mixture Is thick. For
conserve, which is what Nancy always
made, she put in one orange, chopped,
for each pound of grapes. Sometimes
she added a few raisins. Just before
she poured the conserve into jars she
added chopped nut meats. She found
almonds were best. About one-quarter
as much nut meats as conserve was her
proportion.
This conserve could be used in sandwiches.

arms and rid them of hairs?
QUESTIONABLE.
Answer-CD No. If you are going
to a party you might have your hair
marched for the occasion, but do not
begin curling your hair so early with
heat. If you notice the hair of other
young girls who use irons constantly
you will see that the ends are split,
broken and faded. Keep your hair as
healthy as you can and when you are
older you might have a permanent
wave If you do not like it straight. 90
