BALTIMORE, June IAN unprece-

ing the next two years is predicted by
Mayor William F. Broening.
The industries that will be established
here in that time will mean an increase
of 10000 to $4,000 in population. he de-
clared. and housing facilities will ave
to be increased. He said:
This will be brought about by the
establishment here of the Western Elec-

II am certain there will be a great
jump in building operations that will
last for two years, to accommodate the
increased population"

Hot and Cold Baths.

A reader asks whether it is harmful
to take cold bath after hot one, and
then goes on to observe, after the fash
ion of people who believe that a hot
bath opens the pores and a cold one
closes them" Having enlightened me
about that the reader closes with a
tentative opinion that water at the
Temperature of Summer heat" Is prob
ably best for general bathing.
This is glorious, sunny bright, snil-
ing Spring day, and to top 1t all on I
he~a absolutely no work to do and none
IA sigh ahead. So am perfectly happy
and as Aheerful as Santa Claus. I hope
every reaSH will bear these pertinent
facts in mind at least until the end of
the next paragraph.
A hot bath does not open the pores,
and a cold one does not close them, for
the simple reason that there are no
pores or other appurtenances with trap
door equipment in the skin.
This quaint notion that hot baths or
heat in other ways open the pores" is
just an invention of the old fossils who
found it convenient for frightening folks
about going out in the cold after eX-
poSure to heat.
To eb sure, sweating increases under
the influence of heat and diminishes
under the influence of COLOR rather
when there is no heat or but little heat
acting upon the skin. This variation
involves no change whatever in the orr
fees or surface openings of the sweat
gland ducts; 1t is purely a functional
change, a change in the rate of excre-
ton of water and salt through or by
the sweat glands under the skin.
It doesn't make particle Of differ
ence, so far as health or hygiene may
be concerned, whether one takes hot or

Bygone Days

A man grows old and gray at last,
and then his thoughts are of the past,
of golden days that died; and happy
is that ancient wight whose recoilections
bring delight, and, peradventure, pride.
I'm thinking of the days gone by, and
now and then I heave a sigh, a sad,
despairing wheeze, and aunts and nieces
crowd about, and ask me If have the
govt or other fell disease. sit beneath
my tree alone and now and then shed
a groan that makes the neighbors stare /;
they think / surely suffer pain, an an
guiSh that affects the brain, and fills
me with despair. But I'm recalling by
gone times when I committed needless
crimes that seemed quite trif1ing then;
but now they look quite large and
black-and SO the grisly ghosts come
back to plague the old gray men. The
young man pulls an evil trick and then
forgetS it pretty quick, but it is stored
away; subconsciouS memory will hold
the story In its talons cold until he
wakes gray. And then some day when
he reclines beneath his figtrees and his
will say, THAT poor old guy has surely
eaten too much pie, he's surely on his
feed" And kindly women will draw
near to put poultice on his ear, an
other on his neck; they sympathize,
they do not know it is his soul that suf-
fers so, his body'S not a wreck. How
happy Is that ancient gent who can
survey the days he spent, and not be
moved to tears; who thinks of useful
things he's done, of sins he's lodged, of
triumphs won, throughout his glowing
years. WALT MASON.

Everyday Psychology
BY.DR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Surrogate Behavior.

A surrogate is substitute. Surroga-
ton means changing places with some
UNNECESSARILY with another person.
Surrogate behavior is q persons be-
havior when he puts himself, in imagi-
nation, In the other fellows boots.
Most of the Quarrels, expressed or
unexpressed, that we have in this world
of association with otner people, come
about because we have not learned the
art of surrogation. Most Of the so-called
unexpected turns of events turn upon
our inability to understand or our I'M
willingness to accept the fact that there
Is some reason for them, aside from our
own pet notions about the way things
ought to be.
There could be no science of psychol-
ogy If human nature was not subStan-
TALLY the same thing everywhere and
at all times. Given identical situations,
all people will act alike. The reason
they don't act alike always is not be-
cause they are not built alike, so far as
fundamentals are concerned, but be-
cause situations are not always the same
for different individuals. We misinter-
pref the motives for conduct in other
people because we see their situations
through selfish eyes.
To psychologist means to predict.
Psychology will never be science I'M
til it can make fairly accurate predic-
tons. The key to all this prediction
is the art Of surrogation. All you need
to do Is to study the situation to which
the other fellow is exposed and then
imagine yourself in that situation. You

what he will do and why.
have said that's all you need to do.
But the task is by no means simple
one. 1t requires long experience with
yourself, and many hours spent in at
tempts to analyze yourself. But it can
be done. Not completely, but approx
imately. Those who get along success
fully with their fellows in the stress
and strain Of modern social situations
are those who have best learned how
first to detach themselves from the sit
uations as they see them and then put
themselves In the situations from what
appears to be the other fellows point
of view.

cold baths, before or after, or whether
one goes right out in the cold after a
hot one or goes out in the heat after
a cold one.
There is only one kind of sweating
that calls for any caution about that
ANY person knows that when one gets
up a sweat by muscular work, play or
exercise, too sudden checking of the
sweat may be followed by muscular
soreness, lameness, stiffness. This hap
pens not because anything of conse-
quence is thrown Oh" in the sweat, but
only because the more or less acid
(lactic acid) products Of combustion in
the muscle tissue are not carried away
in the circulation as promptly as they
would be If the circulation were not
suddenly slowed down by the chilling.
Now think any one should be able
to understand that sweating artifically

is no objection whatever to sudden

Sport dresses or the very tailory cuts
come in for the lingerie touch by hav-
ing linen vestees added.
The fact that all these pieces may be
laundered is definite advantage, for a
fresh piece Of lingerie will add beauty
and interest even after the novelty of
dress has worn of. There are very few
women who do not get very much bored
with their practical, everyday frocks
after they have been worn over the
grey DAYS Of Winter. One may have
many changes Of them, but somehow
they are all associated with dull skies
and cold weather. The new lingerie
pieces will dispel all this mood, In their
freShenirg effect, and whenever con-
sistent the howery bunch should be
added to any dull garment, although
not necessarily when the lingerie idea
has been used. You will probably not
care much for either idea later on in
the Spring. but they serve purpose in
between seasons.
Miss La P.-Use fine grade of cas-
tile soap for bathing, as there is moth
ing better for sensitive skin that is
inclined to be dry. The fine down Is

should not interfere with 1t at all.
For the blackheads, apply hot
moist cloth over them for a few min
utes TO open the pores, massage little
oil or cream into the places to soften
the soiled impacts, and then battle with
warm water and soap. Rinse in cool
water and make last rinse very cold to
help close the pores again. Repeat this
cleansing every few DAYS until YOUR
skin is cleared.
K. d. W.-Your suggestion for apply
ing the paste to your skin occasionally
is a good one. The oatmeal is cleansing
and the buttermilk bleaching. n your
skin feels dry afterward. rub a little
cream into it. Try busting some sui
phur over the pimples. as it is possible
you continue to have them because
they infect the skin. A skin that is
dry naturally must be helped by having
cream massaged into it, and other
treatments. Very cold va
ter used for final rinse Is stimulating
and so is the massage

SPRINCTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

Soon as the windhower breaks its
bonds in the black loan of the high
woods; soon as the first thin streaks Of
balm are in the chill airs of early Spring,
the swallow comes. The redbird for
his plumage, the oriole for his song-but
the barn swallow for his fight, the mer-
REST, the ARREST, the fieetest that
know. Alone among our swallows he
wears lovely coat, with the upper
parts steel blue, the forehead, throat
and breast rich chestnut, and the tail
deeply forked.
At the same time you may see, in
broad daylight, or, commoner STILL. at
twilight, the little tree swallows skim
ming through the atmosphere, nearly
always in bands Of or 10 or IL. They
lack the deep-forked tail, nor have they
any brilliant plumage, but still you may
know them by their way of flying, clos
ing the wings and skimming, suddenly
to open them again and beat the air
very swiftly, and by their almost bat
like way of wheeling, darling and doing
all unexpected things-as anything that
chaseS insects must.
You will have to get an entomogolist
to tell you what insects at this time Of
year they find to eat. They are too
small for me to see.
Even the tree swallow is extremely
SMALL cannot think Of many birds in
our avifauna much hitler except the
uninteresting little pine siskins. In
body the hummingbird may be hitler,
but his long bill and hic conspicuous
habits make him seem much larger.
The cliff swallow should arrive in
few days now. The purple martin will
be seen by those who put up martin
houses but probably not by those who
fail to do so. And know Of no bird
which makes such a merry neighbor
does more good in the way of destroy
Very rarely some bright-eyed ornithol-
ogist finds the bank swallow. The rough
winged swallow is never seen here, and
am sorry, for his nesting habits are
intensely interesting. And so we have
run through this little family, as far as
it Is represented in the Eastern United
States, and found 1t exceedingly easy
to master.
Some one is forever telling us that
one swallow does not make Summer;
but what is the good of swallow If
with its keen-edged fight, as it SKINS
through the airs Of q green April twt-
light, it cannot raise Wanting hope,
or lift the heart to defy the gloomy and
the cautious. II the folk that are for
ever deriding youths efforts, predicting
disaster, and living cautiously for a
hypothetical old age, are right, then let
me. good Dame Nature, be wrong. May
/ still, when silver haired, be given
grace and fortitude in the chill Spring
days, when see the first wild spiral Of
the evening birds, to say that Summers

Today in skool it was so warm Miss

Spring seems to be here at last. Well.
We should all be glad, because Spring
is the most beWtiful time of the year.
In Spring the grass and the herds sing
and the poets are inspired to write
their most bewtiful verses. / wonder
how many poets we have in this class?
Suppose everybody starts to write little
pome about Spring, and the ferst 3 to

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


ton Of the forward path already de-
veloped by learning the alphabet for
ward. This is sometimes called the law
Of forward conduction.
Saying numbers backward, or any,
thing else that you have learned in
series, Is also difficult, and for the same
reason as 1t is difficult to say your
A. B. C'S backward. Practice in saying
series is for all intents and purposes a
new process and must mark out q sep
arate and distinctive path Of its own.
II anything, the previous practice in
the forward path will interfere, because
there Is likely to be q crossing over
into the other path and going the OPP
posite direction so far as the series is
Overwhelmingly, forward.
The discovery Of this law was very
important in doing away with the old
notion of formal discipline" which
meant that no matter what you learned
it would be Of help to you in any line
Of activity.
The consensus Of modern opinion
seems to be just the opposite. 1t states
that the best way to learn to do a thing
Is to do that thing and not something
else. The only way in which practice in
one operation can help you in another
Is for both to be identical in some re-
SpectS. In so far as there are common
elements, you benefit by experience. On
the other hand, in SO far as the two
have contradictory elements, you are
handicapped.
1t is dificult to shift from one trade
or profession to another for the same
reason that it is difficult to say your
A B C's backward. If you want to be
an expert in anything, practice that
thing.

BEAUTY CHATS
Frivolous Touches.

Practically every newly designed
Spring garment is adorned with some
sort Of frippery. Dresses for street
wear and formal occasions have dra-
peries, sashes, shirrings or fine tucks.
Bows are placed in the most artful
fashion on bodices, or anywhere else If
consistent with the rest of the gown.
Flowers Of silk, wool and felt adorn
shoulders and waistline in greater pro-
fusion than ever before. Even the con-
ventional, tailored, close-fitting sleeve
has modified its severity with puffs and
flares. Bunches of flowers made from
rubber come now to be worn on the
rain coat, leaving nothing Of feminine
attire without some adornment. Even
more refreshing than the colorful note
Is the touch of lingerie at neck and
sleeves. Collars range from narrow
folds of fine lawn to capes of muslin
and lace. Cuffs, too, spread out into
flares Of muslin. The softening jabot
may ripple now for any length between
neck and hem. It just depends upon
Row much of it you can stand or how
much the dress is improved by 1t.
