portable receptacle for the milk, it
is drawn into a stationary container
located between two stalls and
somewhat above the COWS. The
receptacle is of unbreakabis glass

Its transparency makes the rate
Of milking visible to the operator
at all times, both by the amount OF
milk in the receptacle and by the
weight registered by the scale.
When the milk ceases to flow
into the receptacle, the operator
records the weight of the milking
and opens q valve which permits
the milk to be drawn from the
bottom of the container through a
sanitary pipe line to q large vacuum
tank in the dairy house nearby.

ENUMERATED

NEW YORK, Sept. Q.N.s).-
Authoritative figures show there are
at least 216 distinct religious bodies
now active In the United States,
according to Charles w. Ferguson,
who has just completed a survey.
There are 19 divisions Of Metho-
dists. Baptist bodies number Is.
Presbyterianism has nine, and there
are % kinds Of Lutherans, II Of
Mennonites and Z Of Eastern Ortho-
dox.
There are more than 100 minor
sects whose names, creeds and pur.
poses are unknown to the vast
mass of Americans, altogether, they
number more than 100000 ad-
herents.
While protestanisn1 has given
rise to most of these dissatisfied
offspMngs of older religions, neither
Roman Catholicism nor the ancient
Jewish faith has remained un-
affected, the Worlds Work article
points out.
There now exists the Liberal
Catholic church, which claims a
valid succession from the Apostle
Peter, but denies the authority of
Rome, and Jewish Science organ
ization, coinciding in respect to
organization and methods with
Christian Science.
Even Atheism, as practiced under
the banner of American Association
for the Advancement of Atheism,
has not escaped it's schism. The
liberal church Of America, estab.
lished as an atheistic organization,
now has bodies in Denver, Seattle

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROyv.

Half the terror of a storm or of war is
in the crash or the boom.
The silent movies often left sense
of lack, a gap in reality. This was
partly supplied by sound effects manu-
featured on the stage. But for human
action all is secondary to speech; sound
, effects don't make "talkieS" any more
than sight effects" make or add to
music. You may like to see the singer
! as he sings, to watch the movements
of the orchestra as it plays, but it adds
| nothing to the music. Music by radio
carries amply.
The motion that registers to the eye
is not the motion that registers to the
ear; they merely go on at the same time
and may belong together. The two
merge in the attention, and that means
mental attention, following ideas as well
as action. You can undoubtedly follow
speaker better when you can see him;
that is because of your eye-attention
habit.
AS organs Of attention, the ear and
the eye differ; but the effect of that
difference for those who use both
senses depends wholly on what is at
tended to. Actions speak not only
louder than words, but more quickly.
If you have both. the eye must adopt
the slower attention time-rate of the
ear; the actor must time his action to
his speech, and the ears of the audi
ence react more slowly than the eyes
of the spectators. Next and highly i'm
portant is this: Action merely accom-
panies words. Though the actor acts
as he talks. yet dialogue takes the lead
ing part in drama.
Words can say much more: they are
suited to tell different kind of story.
What that means for the "talkies" is
the vital point: that is another story.

Movies for Eve or for Ear.

Some time ago I commented on the
problems raised by the new art of the
''talkies" Some readers raised cues

Of the "talkies" is complex matter:
the psychologist cannot prophesy, but he
can analyZe.
The eye and the ear are built diff
ferently and perform very different
services. The ear Is the time sense;
the eye the space sense. Seeing Is be-
lieving because we are predominantly
eye-minded. Though We have noses, We
can't imagine how we should react If,
ike dogs, we were smell-minded crea-
lures.

hearing would play much more lin

Yet we don't live in a silent world;
Tar from it. Hearing is a great pro-
tective sense. We start at an alarm
ing sound and seek safety. Noises dis
turb. We need quiet for concentration
for repose. also; silence Is restful. We
not only hear sounds, we make them:
and the sounds we make carry an emo
tional as well as an intellectual mean
ing. The ear is important to the emo
tfonal life. We hear and we utter the
tones of command, of reproof, of threat,
OF cheer, of pleading, of fear, Of pity, of
distress. of sympathy, of caress.
Sounds abound in nature, and in
the artificial life we lead, and many
objects in motion produce sounds as

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPROwLS.
Advertising.


All those who have something to sell
will do well to ascertain the invariable
laws of human behavior and to build
their selling methods around these laws.
If you are able to attract the atten-
ton of prospective buyer, and TO hold
that attention long enough, you may
be sure that he will in time find a way
to buy your goods. This is an invariable
psychological law. 1t may be stated
more briefly as follows Control at
tention and you control behavior. To
put it still another way: The human
being will do the things he thinks about.
Let him think and keep on thinking
that he ought to have an automobile,
and he will find way to get it. This
he will do regardless of the fact that
he may or may not need the automobile.
The human being thinks In terms Of
himself. In the last analysis he is
selfish. He Is continually turning his
attention upon himself. Continually
working changes in his estimation Of
himself. The private self is mighty
drawing card.
The chewing gum vendors found this
out years ago. And they put their
knowledge to work.
On every slot machine you will find
a small mirror. The prospective buyer
having nothing to do but kill time"
until his train departs. naturally thinks
about himself. The mirror attracts his
attention, and he embraces the oppor-
tunity to check up on himself.
Satisfied with that, his attention
wanders to the curious coin slot and the
still more curious mechanical device
for delivering the slab of gum. SO he
gives it a trial--maybe two or three.
One enlarges his ego. his sense of self
in causing a mechanical device to work
for him.
And so the goods are sold Why?
The casual wayfarer has had his at
tention turned upon himself. And be-
ing curiosity seeker he experiments
with himself. That's why people buy
gum from slot machines.

fectly kiss proof she has to bother with
the portable cosmetics anyway. But
since she never does seem to be en-
| tirely contented without them the best
think she can do is to have the sort of
| little evening bag that she can carry
around with her. And she is much less
| likely to leave it in the taxi or the dress
ing room If it is the sort that is pro-
vided with a wrist strap.
There are charming metal vanity
cases for evening, but If you prefer
something little fussier--and also
less expensive-you may be interested
| in the new evening vanity bags made
of ostrich feathers. Many of the shops
are selling these in variety Of pastel
colors, but it is not at all difficult to
make them yourself. When you do this
they cost so little that you can probably
have one to go with each of your eve
ming ensembles.
There should be little bag or sack
Of silk to begin with. This may be pro-
vided with narrow ribbon or silk cord
drawstringS or may be made with two
little whalebone StiffenerS at the top to
keep the opening closed. At the trim
ming counter you can buy small piece
of ostrich feather trimming in the de-
sired shade. and this NAV be arranged
over the little bag. A ribbon or fold of
silk to match should be attached for
the wrist strap, and you may add metal
lie ribbon or lace for further ornament.
It is such a simple trick that am
sure you won't need diagram-but

hope you will like. 1t consists of pat
tern and directions for making pair Of
rompers-that may be made to fit any

Loneliness does not necessarily indi-
cate that one lacks friends or acquaint-
ances. Those who lack the talent or
facilities for cooking meals must seek
restaurants. Thousands of single men
and women in Washington depend
upon public dining places. The only
companion at these times is a daily pa
per proped up before them. Eating
alone is like attending a performance
by ones self The appetite is less keen.
Dining should be one of the most pleas

a perfunctory physical duty.

February Is, 1sss.-It was arrar1 ged
today that Speaker Colfax of the Ipouse
Of Representatives who is alsA the
Vice President-elect. shall tenCEr his
resignation as Speaker immediately
after the reading Of the journal of the
House March 3, and Speaker pro tenn

The next day at noon Mr.. Colfax will
take the oath of his new o'hce, and be-
come at the same time fhe presiding
officer OF the Senate, immediately prior
to the Inauguration of Gen. Grant as
President of the United States.
This arrangement HIS been made In
order that some perscm may be in the
Speakers chair to adjourn the House
officially at the end OF the Fortieth Con-
gress. 1t is probable that Representative
Pomeroy of New York will be chosen
for that honor.
1t was stated at the White House to-
day that President Johnson intends to
make visit to Europe soon after he
goes out of Office March 4. The offer
OF passage was lately made to him by
one OF the German steamship lines, and
the offer was accepted by President
Johnson
Immediately after surrendering the
presidency to Gen. Grant, Mr. johnson
intends to go to his home State of Ten
nessee for brief visit to attend to some
personal affairs. According to his pres
ent plans he will sail for Europe about
April l.
The municipal authorities of Nash
vile and Baltimore meantime are max
Ing preparations to give Mr. johnson a
public reception when he passes through
those places after leacing the presi-
dency. The members of the Common
Council of New York City propose to
offer him a similar honor in the event
| he goes to that city.
Lieut. Gen. Sherman Is expected to
arrive in Washington within the next
48 hours from New Orleans. He will oc :
cupy the same room with Gen. Grant
