YAM CORN?l


He had just had an argument with a
foreign born tradesman, and the irate
soul began to protest against all for
eigners who come to this country in
search of a bigger and better living.
We were entertained recently by a
Spaniard who iS in his late thirties.
This young fellow arrived in America
IA years ago with no money, but a
heart filled with ambition. He was I'M
able to speak word of English and
found shelter in a boys home until he
obtained a job with meager compen-
sation. .s
In some way the lad met a well
known clergyman, and he Immediately
evinced an interest in the boy who. had
the nerve to strike out for O strange
land by himself. Under the guidance
Of the minister the young foreigner
waxed and began to grow fat in q
business sense. until today he Is presi-
dent of his own eompany and has a
beautiful home and an American wife
and child in California.
There would be nothing unusual in
this yarn, II We could not add that in
turn the man, who is now an American
citizen. contributes freely of his funds
to aid other boys in their quest for
success. The only security the lads
need possess is ambition, honesty and
@ willingness to work.
There is scarcely a day that the sue
cessful Spaniard does not mention the
name OF his mentor In affectionate
terms. The clergyman will never know
how much he has done to inspire the
boy who made good and who is aiding
others to climb to the crest.

the tops Of your ears and arrange in a
French twist behind. Isn't 1t rather
late to be considering bobbing your
hair? Judging from the snapshot you
inclosed, do not think bob would be
very becoming, since you appear to
have large features. CO These holes"
are probably enlarged pores. They are
caused by your use Of face powder and
failure to remove it thoroughly at bed
time. A new brand Of powder will have
the same effect. You are too young to
begin using makeup regularly. Be
sure to use plenty Of warm water and
soap to cleanse your face at bedtime
and again in the morning. Rinse well,
rub with ice or battle in very cold
water. Dry your skin and pat on a
skin tonic. Take enough vigorous exer-
else every day to cause sweating. Take
a warm cleansing bath every night
Keep your digestive tract in order.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLS.
Perception.

Perception. ..
Perception has been defined as the
organized conscious reaction of an in
dividual to the various things in his
environment. The most important word
in this definition is organized" We
all tend to associate one thing with
another. While we see individual OBJ
jects about us, we tend to group them
according to our own pet way of order
ing the world Of things among which
we live.
In order to understand what percep-
ton means, try the following simple
experiment. Take eight or nine pennies
and a plain piece of paper. Place
these pennies, one at time, on the
paper. Be sure to place them In o
straight row.
First you see one penny. Then you
see two, then three, then four. By the
time you have placed the fourth penny
on the paper, you have an urge to
look at the four pennies as two groups
tinguish four individual pennies.
Proceed with the experiment. Add
the fifth. The urge to group them Is
now stronger. You tend to look at them
as one group of two. and another group
Of three pennies At this point, how
ever, you are still able to keep your
attention focused upon five individua1
pennies, and to recognize them as what
they are, five individual coins.
Now add the sixth penny. The urge
to organize becomes well nigh irresisti-
BILE. You will see them as two groups
of threes, or as three groups of twoE,
or as one group of twos and one group
of tours. All this depends upon your
own disposition to shift your attention
from one section of the row of coins to
another. It Is a difficult matter to
get q perception of six individual coins.
BY the time you have added the
seventh penny, you are in all probability
unable to perceive them in any other
than some grouping. The individuality
of the coins tend to disappear alto
gether. 1t has been said that the
limit of perception of individual things
is seven different objects.
II you can still hold them before
your attention as seven coins, add the
eighth and see what happens.
You will by now understand what Is
meant by perception-organized con-
scious reaction to your surroundings.

One mother saws:

One mother says:
I have three small daughters and
formerly had to spend q good deal OF
time in hunting up their patterns when
wanted to sew. Then decided to
make pattern case, and 1t certainly
has been a help to me in keeping the
patterns in order. I used one yard OF
denim and cut two strips, one Is inches
and the other IA inches wide. I sewed
them together, having the lower edges
meet and bound them with bias seam
tape and stitched three pockets IL
inches apart. embroidered the initials
of each child on a pocket and kept their
patterns in the proper pocket.
