SUMMERTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

"A utility plant loved by the few,
outlawed by others, tolerated by the
many" The social rating of the
morning glory has been thus sue
cinctly summed up. ,. ....
You can produce the effect of beauty,
more or less, for less trouble and money,
with a package of morning glory seeds,
than with all other flowers that grow.
1t is true that an oak comes out of
an acorn, but it takes 200 years to
make fine oak. All you need to pro-
duce 20 feet of vine and shady leaves,
and dozens of gay, blue, white and pink
bell-like flowers is a tiny little dry
morning glory seed, seasoned with few
weeks of Summer sun and Summer
showers.
The newlyweds' cottage and the
ante-bellum cabin can have unlimited
amounts of bloom all summer long
from a package of morning glory seed.
moth and the humming bird-the most
enchanting winged things in our native
fauna.
There Is nothing against the morn
ing glory except that 1t is inexpensive.
If you had to pay dollar apiece for
seeds, 1t would take the police to keep
order at the seed stores-so badly
tainted are our esthetic appreciations
by the commercial tinge Of display and
waste, and by the sentimental rose
glasses that we wear when we think a
thing is more beautiful because it's
rare.
But wait! am forgetting another
disadvantage-probably a fatal defect
In my brief. To see the morning glory
at its best, you ought to be up at
o'clock of a Summer morning. Still,
even the regal water lily suffers neglect
for the same reason.

FAMOUS HATES AND HATERS
John Adams Alexander Hamilton Fell Out Because Ham
didn't Adams to be President.
j. p. GLASS.

George Washington was certain to be
President. But Alexander Hamilton re-
manned the dictator of the Federalist
party. at whose behest Congressman and
even cabinet officers moved.
At all times Hamilton must bow to
the will of Gen. Washington. But
he foresaw the day when the General
would be out of Office. So he took steps
to see that John Adams did not cut too
great a figure in the interval.
Only Gen. Washington had served
the country more Importantly than
Adams. The patriot from Massachu-
sets, therefore, must have the vice
presidency But Hamilton saw to 1t
that his prestige should be curtailed.
He wrote letters, he argued in secret
places He scattered the voting so bad
ly that Adams had barely enough bal
lots to win office.
From that time on, Adams disliked
Hamilton with all the intensity his
proud, hot nature allowed.
Hamilton could not be candidate to
succeed Washington in 1877. He was
too unpopular with the people. He had,
perforce, to back AdamS-at least pub
licly Privately he tried to swing the
FederaliSt votes so that the election
would be thrown into Congress. He
did not think Adams would be safe
President. Perhaps Congress would
elect Thomas Pinckney, the other Fed
eralist on the ticket.
New England friends of John Adams
prevented that, but he beat Thomas
Jefferson by only three votes. When

You call the fire department. A mere

So that's what they did in Chicago.

he learned of the intrigue against him
he began to hate Hamilton in good
earnest.
Hamilton made the mistake of trying
to force Adams to do the things he
wanted. First he Unanswered him into
a position that compelled the President
to designate him as the man to succeed
Washington as commander in chief Of
the army. But when he attempted to
form the executives policy toward
France-that country being then SEEM
ingly bent on forcing us into war-he
came a cropper, Adams was determin-
ed to maintain peace. And he did.
After his election the Democrats had
tried to ally him with them. They
had failed. But, now, In maintaining
friendly relations with France. Adams
played into their hands. His motive
had been purely patriotic. But he
split the Federalist party wide open.
He left Hamilton with worthless ma
chine.
Hamilton got in the last blow. At
the next election he wrote letter at
lacking Adams but urging his re-elec-
ton. 1t might not have gotten into
circulation-for Hamilton's advisers
argued against it-but a copy fell into
Aaron BurrS hands. Result, a splendid
campaign document for the Democrats
and Jefferson, which they used with
deadly effect.
Adams left the White House humili-
ated and disappointed. But poSterity

Everyday Psychology
Social Psychology.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

There Is today a rather indefinite
collection Of facts, opinions and ques-
t;onable deductions going under the
name of social psychology. Some en-
thusiastic scholars are bold enough to
say that social psychology is science.
They pretend to set forth the supposed
serves the name, is about 80 years old.
Admitting for the sake of argument
that social psychology is a science,
what is its fundamental assumption? It
holds that a person in the presence OF
a group thinks and acts otherwise than
he does In isolation. This thinking and
this acting are attributed to the pres
ence of a group mind. Join group and
the group mind that hovers over,
around and through the group begins 10
influence your behavior. All the while
you naively suppose that you are think
ing and acting for yourself.
Within limits 1t Is possible to control
the behavior of groups without their
knowing anything about it. There are
actually hundreds of professional mass
manipulators nowadays, going up and
down the country. Some command big
salaries. These are the fellows who put

rule they know nothing about psychol-

know from the accumulation of well
recorded experiences in promotions just
what motives rule mass activities. They
exploit these motives forcefully and
directly. They get results, usually.
What are the motives, the motive
forces, Of a group? Imitation is big
one. One group is likely to do what
another does, once it finds out what
Is going on. One noted psychologist
states this in the form Of law: Most
men mostly initiate what they see, and
catch the tone of what they hear.
Then suggestion plays big role. Ac-
cordingly, the law is: Crowds are
credulous and readily influenced by
suggestion" Other mechanismS are
rivalry, fear, praise. pride and its de-
formed offspring called vanity.

Things TO Consider for Vacation

The reaction of physical fatigue from

supply a distinct change. 1t way be
wise to get into the swing of activities
slowly just at first and let the body get
rested while one is an onlooker merely.
Then plunge into social activities,
sports, golf, rides, dances, etc, will
prove refreshing.
Care has to be exercised not to get
physically tired with pleasures, so that
rest is needed afterward. But If one
has thoroughly good time while va

prospect of repetition of equally good
times next season will do much to keep

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 25.-No
doubt about tour town has drawn In
its horns and Is holding its breath. It's
face is getting bit purple from repres-
sion but such is the state OF things
that even the most light-hearted, with
head to match, isn't riSking any chances
on gay shenanigans.
This has been the soberest month
Hollywood has spent, perhaps, since
those gay and raucous days when Jesse
Lasky first made pitchers" on Vine
street and all the life in the colony
conferred in the now defunct old wooden
hotel on Hollywood Boul.
Overstuffed ladies, more stout than
stylish, rock In the solid chairs that
line the broad wooden verandaS. The
garden isn't what it once was-you
fumeS-and the old hotel Is on the
corner of the very heart Of the village

The frigates who sail through its
corridors are not the stately, gray
haired galleons of our grandmother's
day. These ancient girls are black, or
brown, or white, or red henna. They
are water-waved. They play q wicked
game of bridge and swing wicked
tongue over such morsels OF village
gossip as drift their way.

do it yourself and you'll still feel much

full of cold cream and hold a success
sion of hot towels over your skin for
five minutes, then use a towel wrung
from cold water; then, If possible, a
piece of ice. BY this time there will
be no cold cream on your skin, but It
will look glowing and young and will
be ready for powder, for a touch OF
rouge and a suggestion OF lipStick.
