In his month was something that Flip

Flip.
Jerry didn't speak. He couldn't. His
mouth was full. Instead, he swan over
to a favorite log and climbed out on it.
There he sat, very busy for few min

Jerry seemed to be opening something

Jerry took a long breath and dived

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLS.

Students Of human nature are, after
all, rather partial, dogmatic and ex-
elusive. I have yet to find single
observer, who did not point out that
the life period he was writing ABOUT
was not the most important OF all
There are two fallacies in most ap-
praisements of life periods.
First. most students stress the I'M
portance of years rather than life forces.
Perhaps the so-called endocrinology, or
gland psychology which studies the
glands as life forces. will, when sys-
tematized, give us better understand
ing of periodicity. For this we must
wait, perhaps century. In the sec
ond place, life periods are always mn
portant, even down to the very end OF q
long life. The writer who denies this
fact is looking at life forces through the
wrong end of his periodoscope, to coin
a term.
Making all due allowances for partial
observation and faulty deduction, the
25-to- 40-year period does rank high,
and perhaps takes first place among the
five-year periods of life. The standard
of Judging periods. even from the very
first one, is based on occupation and
achievement. A persons life should be
measured and evaluated in terms OF
achievement.
A good deal is expected Of the 35-to-
40-year-old man, and good deal is
accomplished by him, although his
achievements for the period are some
times not recognized for many years
thereafter.
The most important thing I can see
about this period is the fact that the
individual is settling down. Until then
his physical building-up forces have ex-
ceeded the tearing down forces. At this
period these forces add up to give zero,
/. e., are balanced. If this be true, and
I think it is, you need not expect much
in physical way Of man beyond 40,
except in the case of super-endowed
individual
What holds for the physical side Of
person also will hold for the psyche
logical side. After all, the mind is only
the body in action. If the body settles
down to business, so does the mind.
The 35-to-40-year- old individual is men,
tally mature for most occupations, most
social adjustments. Those who are not
settled in their life attitudes by then
are pretty likely to remain among the
drifters.

A young man living near the CITY
within 10 miles-has had his first novel
published. 1t Is now being reviewed In
the magazines and newspapers. Most
Of the reviews have not only been favor
able but fiattering.
Four years ago he confided to the
writer that he would write the novel or
break leg in the attempt. He pur-
chased a typewriter and manuscript
paper. He was engaged in other work,
SO that the writing Of the book required
MS spare time or what formerly was
his leisure.
Among the host that laughed at his
efforts was his wife, who advised him
to stick to the profession with which he
was familiar. Other friends visited his
home and laughed. In fact there were
the man persisted. with the result that
his story was printed In serial form in
widely circulated monthly and is now
between the covers Of volume.
About two years ago, man In this
city Joined country club He was not
duffer. He was worse than one. His
stance. his swing and. in fact, every
thing was unorthodox. The gang
laughed when he addressed the ball.
When he swung he seemed to twist
himself into q knot. He demonstrated
the perfection OF awkwardness.
To suffer the jibeS of companions at
golf requires an iron nerve. His fellow
players talked as our acquaintance
swung at the ball. They rightfully
figured that he wouldn't hit 1t even If
they had been silent.
Then the dub told them he was going
away for long time. His mission he
returned and joined his friends on the
course.
well. guys. let's see what old Rain
in-the-Face can do now" joked one Of
the men.
Aim for the creek" advised another
player, land you'n probably land some
where near the green"
The dub strobe to the tee and said.
Listen, you fellows ought to give me a
stroke hole. You know the kind Of
player am"
Sure, Wen give YOU a dozen strokes
hole. We're big-hearted Billies"
Let's make It a quarter hole" sug-
gested the dub.
Sure, make 1t a dollar hole. Make
1t ten dollars. Who cares?" laughed
another of the foursome.
go ahead. Shoot" said one of
them.
The dub wiggled as usual and a
litter rose from the group. The ball
fell OF the sand tee just as he was
about to bring back his club. This is
always sign of hard luck. The dub
stopped and carefully replaced the ball
on the tee. Then he swung. The club
head met the ball with resounding
smack. It whizzed straight down the
fairway with unerring accuracy and
speed.

individuality in the Family Circle
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

to put the entire blame upon the sur
roundings and none upon ones self. AS
a rule, the burden of such blame de-
serves to be, If not entirely shifted, at
least divided.
It is traditional that the family at
titude" is supposed to be in opposi-
ton to independence of thought and
action on the part OF individual mem
bers of the household. Whether or
not this is actually the case. the one
in rebellion feels certain that 1t Is.
One way in which the family can help
is to disabuse the mind of the one
trying for individualism Of such an
attitude. That is how the family may
help the situation, by contributing what
freedom It can to the Unhappy member
The shock of finding no criticism for
things which hitherto brought COM
ment may result in the assumption
spoken. This may bring an unfortunate
reaction. Here is where tables are
turned little. Surely the family has
the right to is own attitude as much
as the individual has to his. Each
should be respected. AS long as no
actual interference occurs each should
give that much quarter to the other.
The improvement should be taken for
what 1t is, an effort in the right
direction.
If the one in revolt gives no credit
to the rest for trying to aid in the
situation, there is sure to be re-
action on their part. Why seek to give
freedom where it is not appreciated?
The adjustment of these two viewpoints
is difficult but not impossible.
Until the time comes when circum-
stances justify more freedom to the
individual than is at the moment pos
sib!e, compromises such as are sug-
gested must be inaugurated and should
be met with the greatest favor.
