WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON, PHI. d.

1t takes intelligence and imagination
to anticipate. BY anticipation Is meant
looking ahead with the minds eye and
seeing consequences before they hap
pen. The child anticipates a spanking
and the consequent unpleasant feeling
of pain and hurt pride as well as hurt
anatomy when he is about to steal
cookies from the pantry. And if his
imagination is lively enough he will re-
call the painful consequence of his act
sufficiently wildly to keep him from
taking the cookies.
The value of all punishment is mega
tive anticipation. the value of rewards
is positive anticipation. BY the COM
bined system of rewards and punish
ments we control more or less cfTec-
lively the conduct of trained animals
and all human beings.
The law Of anticipation is remarkable
and plays an important part in our
everyday life. We are all constantly
motivated by it. If a certain type of
joke brings approval we tell it; if 1t
brings sharp looks of reproach, we
desist. If we think We can break a
law and get by with it we anticipate
that situation and take our chances.
That is why it Is much more important
to enforce laws impartially, swiftly and
without fail than it is to pass severe
laws that are almost never enforced.
One of the best illustrations of the law
of anticipation is found in early church
history. According to the records there
was a time when it was universally be-
lieved that the rite of baptism absolved
a person from all previous sins, but the

The possibilities that lie in coat
hangers AS utility accessories of the
wardrobe are beginning to be found
out No longer need the hangers be
solely for holding garments in proper
shape. They can be helpful in con-
serving space in closets by their dual
uses. They can enter into the field of
laundry accessories also. They can
serve as travellers aids in. supplying
covers and bags to keep articles from
contact with others in suit cases and
trunks and later couple such purposes
with that of coat hanger when lug
gage is unpacked. They can be used
to keep rainy-day outfits assembled.
Truly the preSent-day possibilities of
these hangers are manifold.
The hangers that can be adapted to
dual or triple uses are those that have
a bar connecting the two ends. Some
times the hangers and bars are OF
wood, sometimes of metal.
One ingenious method of supplying
additional utility from hanger is to
make an envelope bag of cloth and Sc
cure it to the rod. The bag can be
any desired lengths inches to "a Is
favored however. The width suits that
of the hanger rod. The bag is duplex,
one part is as large as the measure
ments given, and has a flap that falls
we'll over the opening. Another por-
ton consists of two pockets. 1t is
scanned to the lower edge of the larger
bag and along the sides, as we'll as
down the lengthWise center. Some
thing like shoe bag. In fact it can
be used for a shoe bag, if desired, al
though it is better suited to holding
fat articles.
Such bag is marvellous in its use

1t is a mournful thing to see man

talked with scores of weary scouts who
ranked among the down-and-outs. and
heard their doleful tale; their conf
dence in other men was outraged time
and time again. and that is why they
fail. I keep on talking to the wightS

folded and tucked into the large en-
velope bag portion and be kept i'm
maculate when packed. Then it can
be taken out and put on the hanger
at the end of the journey. Then the
bag can become laundry container.
The other pockets can hold lingerie,
neckwear, handkerchiefs, scarfs, etc,
while travelling, and then at desti-
nation the garment hanger can hold
negligee, the large bag hold the
nightgown and bed jacket. while the
boudoir slippers can be slipped into the
open pockets. These are merely Sug-
geStions, since each person can use
the fitted hangers AS suits her best.
An ingenious laundry accessory IS
made from a coat hanger by stringing
clamp paper clips on ribbon cor tape)
and fastening the ribbon at intervals
to the covered coat hanger. After
stockings are washed they are held
in the clamps to dry. Several pairs
can be washed at night, the hanger
with hosiery suspended as described
be put in a draught from some open
window, and in the morning the wash
will be dry. Women who like to have
their hosiery aired after taken on
suspend their stockings from the
clamps at night or whenever taken off.
A coat hanger for macintosh or
any raincoat can have rubberized bag
suspended from the rod for rubbers,
and the rainy-day outfit for out-of-
doors be kept intact.
Coat hangers can be covered so
daintily that they are exquisite ac-
cessories suitable for gifts, with silken
envelope bags Or they can have the
bags of black or plain colors.

Later years brought the thrill of
great triumphs, but could anything
compare with Augustus Saint Gaudens'
exciting childhood days in the Bowery
and other sections of what is now
Lower New York City?
Gang fights, individual battles, games,

fusing delight of activity.
Who could have dreamed that pug
nacious "Nosey'' Saint Gaudens - his
big nose gave him hts nickname-one
day would be great sculptor?

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.

It is quite common nowadays to see
girls running elevators the way the boys
have been doing for long time. 1t is
sort of hangover from the war, be-
lieve, for when the boys had to be at
the front the girls had to take their
places back home.
Don't think me facetious when I
speak of these elevator operators as peo-
pie who have their ups and downs, for
that would be stale wisecracker. AS
a matter Of fact, nothing. can be more
monotonous than the up-and-down
movement of the young fellow or girl
who operates the lifts, as the English
call them.
Real ups and downs, or the bull and
bear movements as the boys in Wall
street call them, have the advantage OF
popping us up. They keep lis on the
lookout for changes, on the tiptoes Tor
sudden starts. When we are really IN
the swim, we don't want calm water,
but the rise and fall of the pillows. We
get kick out of that.
Mediocrity and stagnation are among
our worst foes. Billiards and hot spells
arc better for us in the long run, and
people who live in a temperate climate
with settled weather are too pat to daW-
die and dream.
This is all right" I'm making
enough" tom and 1 get along as we'll
as the average couple" and expressions
of a similar sort are examples of lives
which have no ups and downs, no high
spots and low lights, no hills and dales
We are so practical that we are los
ing our sense of romance. We fall In
love, get married and settle down. The
amount of romance we enjoy in a life
like that would give Romeo and Juliet
the collywobbleS. If you are in love,
stay there after you are married. II
there was courtship and coquettishneSs
before marriage, let it continue after the
orange blossoms have dried up.
In all things, refuse to let we'll
enough alone, but insist that 1t be the
best ever. This seems to be a snappy
age. when the voice of the flapper is
heard in the land, but 1t Is often so dull
that we have to touch up life with a
movie show or grab a laugh from a
comic strip.
Love and laughter, which come in
the midst of ups and downs, ought not
to be filmed and printed in that way.
They should pop up naturally from
hearts overlooking with affection and
merriment.
It's the average life or so-so existence,
not the one with its ups and downs.
which We must conquer in these drab
days.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text-"Confidence in an unfaithful
man in time Of trouble is like broken
tooth and a foot out Of joint."-Prov.,
xxv.19.
Some people make a boast OF not
trusting anybody. But people making
this boast lay themselves open to sus-
picion, Most OF us are not inclined to
put much confidence in the man VINO
puts no confidence In others. man
prone to suspect evil Of others Is mostly
looking in his neighbor for what he sees
in himself. He who thinks nobody can
be trusted knows that he himself Is
not to be trusted.
Yet we should not be too free with
our confidence. There are some people
not worthy of trust. Before we give
man our full confidence it is well TO
know what we are about. Where mat
ters OF vital Importance are concerned
we should make sure of mans de-
pendableness before we trust him too
far In business transactions serious
consequences may follow from mis-
placed confidence. misplaced conn.,
dence anywhere may lead to disastrous
results.
AS to that intimate confidence upon
which friendship Is bullt, WISDOM ulc-
tates the utmost caution. Before we
receive one into our bosom as friend
we should know, as far as 1t is possible
to know, that he is worthy Of our
confidence. The only kind of friend
worth having is one that you can trust
fully one with whom you feel secure
and upon whose faithfulness you can
confidently depend. Nowhere can a
misplaced confidence cause greater dis
appointment or damage than in the re-
lationship between friends.
In both social and business relations
confidence is something too vital and
too sacred to be handled carelessly.
We should not mistruSt every one. But
neither should we trust everybody.
Scrupulous cautions should be used to
avoid MISPLACED confidence

Nights brought many joys. Stretched
strings that removed the hats of un-

high amusement. It was great to steal
bread and butter and sugar from the
home pantry, too. And nothing could
be better than sweet potatoes baked
in the street in furnaces built of cob
blestones.
In quiet hours "Nosey" liked to draw

business that has been assigned him.
AS matter of fact. the dozen or
more men who serve the President in
the capacity of aides are among the
most overworked men in Washington.
And they get no extra pay. Even the
elaborate uniforms are paid for out of
their own pockets.
Only a casual visit to the offices Of
these men is sufficient TO prove that
they do more than idle away their
time.
Col. Campbell B. Hodges for the
present is tucked away in an office at
the State. War and Navy Building at
tending to Infantry business. He is
the military aide to the President.
Within a short while he and Capt.
Alien Buchanan, the naval aide, are
soon to have desks at the executive
o1ices of the White House.
SMaj. Raymond McQuillian has desk
n the Office of the chief of Cavalry,
&Where he serves as information officer
Maj. j. M. Eager of the Field Artil-
lery edits the Field Artillery Journal
and acts as chief of the intelligence
lection.
Capt. John C. Drinkwater of the
Corps of Engineers is on duty every
day in the rivers and harbors section
of the Office of the chief of engineers.
Lieut.. Hugh B. Waddell acts as aide
to the chief of staff of the Army dur
ing the day.
Lieut.. John E. Upston has a desk in
the Office of the chief of the Army Air
Corps. and when his time is not taken
up there he is hopping across the
country on Army business.
In the Office of the quartermas-
ter general, Lieut.. Don E. Lowry spends
his day haAiling transportation
matters.
Lieut.. Comdr. John E. Ostrander of
the Navy is in charge of the armament
section of the aviation division, Depart
ment of Naval AeronauticS.
Lieut.. K. M. Hoeffel handles fuel eX-
penditures for the Navy in the division
of fleet training.
Lieut.. Comdr c. B. C. Carey, senior
aide in the Navy group, is the officer
in charge of the experimental section
of the Bureau of Naval Ordnance.
Capt John Halla IS the recorder or
the Marine Corps examining board.
Capt. r. NJ. Montague is assistant
detail officer in the Marine Corps.
Mai A. Van C. Sandeford is COM
plotting the officers training course at
the Army War College.
Lieut.. Edward H. Young has COM
mand of the headquarters troops at the
Washington Barracks.
Thus the Presidents idle aides.
It is easy to see that they have much
more to do than merely climb in and
out of their gold-braided trappings.
A tall, slender, earnest young man
serving his first term as member OF
the Omitted States Senate has launched
a crusade on Capitol Hill in behalf OF
the struggling artists of this country.
Senator Willard E. Tydings of Mary
land has appealed TO Congress to adopt
a plan which he is confident will prove
boon to art in America, Will of1er
encouragement for those engaged in
this profession and will secure for the
Government the works of the countrys
most eminent artists.
And he thinks $4,000 year will be
all the money required.
Briefly. Senator Tydings plan is this:
Annually. In Washington, there would
be q national exhibition open to all
american painters and sculptorS

TO be the current term Nowadays We
have goods which are dyed to hold their
color. Our chemists have devised fast
color fabrics
1t is foolish to try to set color with
salt or alum or sugar of lead or any
of the other grandmother remedies.
It has been discovered that the heat
of the water, the strength of the soap.
and the length Of time that the fabric
stays in the water are the three main
factors which make colors run or
bleed as the laundries say.
Here are the rules which Nancy fol-
lowed. She learned them in the short
course in home economics which she
took before she was married.
Use warm, not hot water. Use a soap
solution and make it from a mild soap.
Even with soap chips and flakes it is
wisest to dissolve them in hot water
and then put this paste when it has
cooled into the water in which you are
washing the fabric. Wash and rinse
quickly. Hang away from sunlight.
If it looks as though the color was
running 1t is wise to roll the dress or

sins committed after baptism would
count against him. The logical conse-
quence was exactly what you might
expect. People waited until they were
ready to die and would get baptised
while one foot was in the grave, as the
saying goes.
This is why honesty is the best policy.
1t may be to your temporary advan-
tage to lie, but in the long run you
are better off telling the truth. The
man who yelled for help just for fun
was allowed to drown the second time
he called for help because those who
heard his cries thought he was playing
another prank and would not believe
that he was in need of help.
The law of anticipation is itself based
on the fundamental tendency of all liv-
ing creatures to repeat acts that are
pleasurable and beneficial and to avoid
acts that are painful and unpleasant.
The unusual vividness with which we
sometimes anticipate desirable conse-
quences is responsible for the observa-
ton that anticipation is better than
realization.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER.

Those submitting the five best paint
ings and those submitting the best
five objects of sculpture would receive
awards First, $4,000; second, $4,000;
third, $4,000; fourth, $l,500; fifth,
81 900. Certificates and medals would
also be given the five painters and five
Sculptors whose work entities them to
money awards.
The winning works would be-
come the property Of the United States
Government.
The selections would be made by a
national board Of painting and sculp-
ture, composed Of either three or flve
men noted for their training and skill.
The Senator believes that every
painter and sculptor in the United
States of any promise would contest for
the first award. AS result the
various phases of American life would
be depicted on canvas and on stone.
Suppose such policy had been fol-
lowed during the last century. There
would now be in the possession of the
Government some 500 paintings. Sena-
tor Tydings believes these paintings
would tell the story Of the quarter
century past far more eloquentiy than
it could be told in any other way.

wagon trains across the country, the

says Senator Tydings. I'VE have not
that because it was never begun. We
can begin it now, and at very little
cost"
He believes the time has come when
the Government must do more to
encourage art than merely purchase a
statue of some person noted in Ameri-
can life.
Since the Government aids science
and commerce, Yhy shouldn't it do
something to encourage art?" is his
query.

not always easy to lay ones hands on.
And. II it Is a matter Of expense, the

it is possible to get a good mirror for a

ferior quality.
The mirror shown is faithful re-
