Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG,

February %, 1S65.-It was announced
today that the arrangements already
| made for the second Lincoln inaugural
ball indicate that the managers of the
event propose to make it stand out as
surprising any ball of the kind in the
history of Washington.
The fact that the war is not yet over,
although the military authorities be-
lieve it is nearing its end, will not be
allowed to put a damper on the spirits
of the men who are arranging for the
festivities in connection with President
Lincoln'S second Inauguration, March 4
1t is anticipated, of course, that an
unusually large number of men who
attend the ball will be in the uniform
OF the Union Army.
Only good news has reached the Gov
eminent authorities today from the
forces in the field. Further details re-
garding the capture of Wilmington, N.
G. by the Union forces, land and sea,
indicate that there will be more fight
ing in that vicinity. The latest dis
patches from that point are forwarded
from the steamer Rhode Island at
Hampton Roads, Va, to the Navy De-
partment, and reach the Washington
Government through Gen. Grant, who
is operating near Richmond.
The details of the fighting at Will
mington, which are outlined in a report
from Gen. Schofield. commanding the
Union forces. are greatly cheering to
the Government, especially to President
Lincoln and the military authorities at
the War Department.
Gen. Schofield reports to his superior
officer, Gen. Grant, as follows:
II have the honor to report the sue
cess of our operations against Fort An
derSon and adjacent works on both sides
of the Cape Fear River"
Gen. Schofield says the Union forces
have captured, uninjured, 10 guns and
considerable amount Of ammunition;
also about SO Confederate prisoners.
"The loss in killed and wounded"
adds Gen. Schofield, lis small on either
side. The troops are pursuing the en-
envy and the gunboats are moving UP
the river
Further on in his report Gen. Scho-
field adds: MY information is that the
rebels have a line of defense behind
Tom Creek, where they propose to make
stand. If so, it can probably be only
short one"
Latest advices from the South indi-
cate that the Confederate Army Is pre-
pairing at some as yet unknown point,
for a last ditch" fight.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Why You Forget Names.

You forget names. And your for
getting is sometimes embarrassing to
you and notifying to your acquaint-
ances. You devise schemes of your own
for recalling names, knowing that your
memory is likely to go back on you.
Why do you forget names? Several
explanations have been offered by
psychologists who have taken the trou-
BILE 10 study the question.
One theory has it that forgetting of
every sort Is misnomer. Nothing is
forgotten. There is no forgetting.
What We call forgetting is an uncon-
called forgetting is therefore an I'M
known, unadmitted, intentional act. the
purpose of which is to avoid recog-
milton of a painful situation. Accord
ing to this theory you forget" some
ones name because you dislike some
thing associated with that person,
Another theory says that we forget
names because we want to make out
that we are more important than the
fellow whose name we are unable to re-
call. This is merely a modification Of
the first theory. The pain factor is
still there.
1t differs from the first only because
the center of this psychological act is
shifted from situation to a person.
In reality there is no difference for
one never recalls or forgets a name
without recalling or forgetting some
situation with which the name is identi-
fed. There is a lot of truth in the ia
miliar expression: 81 remember your
face but l can't place you" All which
means that a name is equivalent to a
place, situation.
The pain factor is not important, one
way or the other. In fact some names
are easily recalled for the very reason
that they suggest something unpleasant.
Repression is a better word to use in
explaining why you forget" painful
situations and the names associated
with them.
All remembering is matter of associ-
alton. Things, places, events. names of
persons. etc, are ali hooked I'D in a
chain of experiences which looked at as
a whole constitute our memories. It
follows then that forgetting is merely
weakening of the bonds of association.

Representative Edward T. Taylor has
| again declared war on what he con-
siders one of the greatest outrages in
| the United States-this thing of charg-
| ing visitor to Washington IS cents to
be shown through the National Capitol
| Building.
For many years the Coloradans
| voice has been heard in opposition to
| the fee system practiced by the guides.
His idea is that the person who comes
| to Washington and desires to see the
Capitol should be able to do so and
have some one explain the different
| things of interest free of charge. He
believes that charging a quarter to
show a taxpayer something his money
helped buy is not only outrageous, but
unpatriotic.
There are seven women and 10 men
| guides. They rely solely on their fees
for pay. Last year the average income
of each was around 81 900.
Taylor has encountered stiff opposi-
ton in his fight. There are those who
contend that the services of guides are
wanted by the public, that it is a mat
ter left entirely to the visitor whether
or not he wants one, and that il Is
not in any sense to be regarded as an
entrance fee to the Capitol.
