Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May 9, 1S62-Capts. Bailey and Boggs
of Commodore Farragut's command,
arrived at the Navy Department this
morning, bringing full official dis
patches relating to the operations of the
Union fleet in the Mississippi River and
various trophies of the recent victories
the Secession flags lately flying over
Forts Jackson and st. Phillip and over
the City Hall at New Orleans.
A large number of public officials
gathered around the officers in the room
of the Secretary of the Navy and
evinced deep interest in their verbal
explanations of various yet unwritten
incidents of the naval campaign in that
quarter.
An investigation of present conditions
In the Old Capitol Prison shows that the
number of prisoners of war and political
prisoners confined there now is about
100, all of whom, with the exception
of two men in the hospital, appear to
be as healthy and cleanly as any other
collection of the same number OF per-
sons to be found anywhere.
Each prisoner has his bunk, cot, good
mattress, blankets, sheets and bed cover
which are as clean as those in any
hotel There are two large bathing
rooms, supplied with hot and cold water
free, which, of course, has much to 90
with the remarkable health, cleanliness
and good spirits of the prisoners.
The kitchen is supplied with large
hotel range and the provision room is
full of as good food as is found in a
good hotel, though perhaps 1t is not so
varied. There are fresh meats, escu-
Tents of different kinds, rice. peas, beans,
coffee, tea, sugar, fresh bread. etc. The
dining room is furnished with tables,
seats, plates, knives, forks and drinking
cups.
The dispensary reflects great credit
upon Brigade Surgeon Stuart and his
hospital steward. Dr. Stuart organized
this branch of the establishment and
has had charge of it from the begin
ming. He has kept the sanitary condi-
ton of the prisoners very good, not
withstanding the fact that numerous
cases Of contagious diseases have from
time to time been brought there.
Supt. Wood of the prison also has
charge of about 400 contrabands in
separate building nearby, who are also
we'll cared for.

A Sermon for Today
Remembrance for Mother.


Text: Behold they mother!" John,
xix27
This was one of the last words Of
Jesus on the cross. Commenting on
it, Longfellow wrote: Even He who
hour, in the unutterahle agony of death,
was mildful Of His Mother, as II TO
teach us that this holy love should
be our last worldly thought-the last
point of earth from which the soul
should take It's flight for heaven"
It is a matter Of common note how
many of the worlds great men have
left on record some word in which is
revealed a grateful and tender remem-
brance of their mothers.
Speaking in remembrance OF ms
mother, MacCauley wrote: Never can
forget her sweet glances cast upon
me when appeared asleep; never her
kiss of peace at night. Years have
passed away since we laid her beside
my father in the churchyard: yet
still her voice whispers from the grave.
and her eye watches over me, as visit
spots long since hallowed to the memory
of my mother"
When gruf old DR.. johnson was
so years old he wrote to his aged
mother as II he was still her way
ward but loving boy: You have been
the best mother and believe the best
woman in the world. thank you for
the indulgence to me, beg forgive
ness for all that have done III and
all that I have omitted to do we'll"
Another Mothers day approaches.
And it is fitting time for us all, great
and small alike, to express the graft
tude we owe our mothers Behold
thy mother" Remember the love she
has lavished upon you. Let not Moth
ers day pass without some remem-
brance for mother.

to do. 1 don't say that your own &C
count of your deliberations is correct:
Those subconsciouS half -acknowledged
motives may play a larger part than you
think.
Furthermore, it is true, as Freud
insists, that now and then we let a
word or an act slip through to the
muscles which we were trying to sup
press We do let the cat out of the Gag.
Extend this idea a bit and it means that
there is at times a bit of motive In
what we regard as an accident.
So Freud tells us that at times We
lose what in an unacknowledged sense
we want to lose or not to find. He tells
the story of husband who when not
on good terms with his wife couldn't
find a paper he was looking for; but
who when he was reconciled, found 1t
readily enough. There is another tale
of a "SubconSciouS" so well trained
that when its owner smoked too much
he couldn't find his pipe. so carefully
had the SubconSciouS miSlaid it. And
somebody has added that unwelcome
wedding presents get broken. You lose
and break what you have grudge
against, and you forget what is I'M
pleasant.
The principle is quite right. but you
lost and found" departments show
that people lose things that they cherish
and offer rewards for their recovery.
So when this correspondent asks me
to explain why he wrote every when
he meant ever. and why he wrote time
when he meant thing, reply that it
was probably haste or confusion or
accident, and that it won't do to try
to read bit of unconscious motive into
every act or slip of the tongue or pen
or hand.
In brief. the relations between the
(rather more) consciously and the
(rather more) SubconsciouSly organized
mechanisms of cur expressions is too
complex to follow any one pattern.
The subconscious plays part, and
now and then an unwanted and dis
turbing one. The rest is too complex
for simple answer.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON.

We all know that food doesn't seem
to taste right when we have a cold.
The reason is that a cold stops up the
nose and interferes with the sense of
smell. This has profound influence on
taste. for the simple reason that what
we ordinarily call taste is really partly
smell.
For example, if you stop up your
nose so as not to smell what you eat
and are blindfolded so as not to see it,
you will not be able to distinguish be-
tween an onion and an apple. Try it.
Taste and smell are very closely re-
lated They seem to be almost one
sense with slightly different functions.
They differ from sight and hearing, in
that both require part of the sub
stance in direct contact with the sense
organs, while the object you see or the
noises you hear merely set the ether in
action, and this results in a sensory
experience.
For this reason objects that are so
dry as not to impart any of their sub

Reply.
This is knotty question. The first
part of it may be readily answered.
There are all degrees of meaning what
you say. You may mean it little, but
not as strongly as you say 1t; enough
to give warning, but not to insult
deeply. There's always struggle be-
tween a justified anger and considera-
ton for the other party; we want to be
severe but not brutal. Anger may get
the upper hand and we say far more
than we in our Saner moments mean.
You may remember the old Greek say
ing: I appeal from Phillip drunk to
Phillip sober, So the appeal of con-
science is from yourself in anger to
yourself in reason.
The next point is not so simple. The
idea that we have two separate minds,
one a conscious and the other a sub
conscious mind, is not quite correct.
We have one mind rather complicatedly
made up. When you are struggling
with a decision and at last announce
that you have made up your mind, you
mean that having weighed all the con-
siderations pro and con (and they may
be partly conscious or acknowledged
and partly subconscious and I'M

Appropriateness in Footwear
BY MARY MARSHALL.

son to season, but they do not change
so radically that one cannot find a
number of different types of shoes at
the same time and still wear them to
the discarding point before they have
become outmoded. Some women follow
the policy of getting only two or three
pairs OF shoes at a time-and then
wear them for every and all occasions
so that they may be ready within q
few months to buy new shoes of a later
design. My own experience has been
that it Is wiser and more economical
to select shoes Of less extreme model
and to have enough sorts to satisfy
the requirements of every occasion.
The low. broad-heeled sports shoes
designed for actual sports are really
not appropriate for the so-called semi
sports dress or suit. There are oXfords
or strap pumps of medium heels that
are much more in keeping. Usually
the really high-heeled shoe does not
look right with the semi-sportS en-
semble. At present many well dressed
women reserve really high-heeled SHOES
for evening wear and for wear with the
lighter, more fiaring sort of afternoon
dress.
Oxfords are favored by many women
for street wear this Spring. not only
because they really are smart at the
present time. but because shoe that
is held in place by lacings at the in
step is usually much more comfortable
in warm weather than strap pump or
an opera pump.

stance cannot be tasted. Or when the
tongue is dry you can't taste. In order
to start a taste impulse the substance
to be tasted must be In solution. When
in solution the molecules are sepa.
rated from each other and the sub
stance is essentially in gaseous con-
dition.
The molecules move freely and very
rapidly. When doing so they pound
on the taste nerve endings, thus start
ing taste impulse. When the mouth
Is dry the substance is not dissolved
The molecules cannot pound the nerve

Everyday Law Cases
May Promise to Pay Debt ETtin-

ton Be Enforced?
BY 1HE COUNsELLOR.

Henry Bell, being insolvent, called a
meeting of creditors and offered to
settle his debts at so cents on the dol
lar. The creditor accepted Bells offer
and a composition agreement was
drawn up.
Subsequent to the composition agree
ment Bells condition improved and he
was asked by the State bank, which
had taken large loss at the compo-
sition, whether he cared to make good
the loss now that he was able. Bell
promised that he would and made out
series of promissory notes for the
amount.
When the notes fell due Bell decided
not to pay them. asserting that there
was no consideration supporting his
promise. as his old debt had been cam
celed by the composition agreement.
The bank thereupon brought suit on

consideration Is sufficient to enforce a
promise to pay a debt extinguished by
and that the principle should be the
same in creditor composition cases.
The court however, in accordance
with the rule most generally followed,
dismissed the case against Bell. stat
ing:
"a debt released by a composition
assented to by all the creditors is ex-
tinguished and cannot form the con-
sideration of 4 new promise"
