 The baby often enjoys pointing ont and learning to call by name the many familiar objects which are found pictured in the advertising sections of the popular magazines. It IS well to bear in mind in this connection that the child should be taught to remember only such things as daily experience is sure to bring constantly 10 his attention.
 One Of the happiest devices for tralnlng the child's memory is to teach him to tell little stories" about the happenings of his day. At lir6t, of course. it is mother who Will have to tell the whole story.
 What did Bobby and mother see today? We saw a COW and she was eating grass. We saw some pretty flowers. We saw big black steam engine that went choo- choo-choo and went far away. And we saw a birdie sitting on a fence singing a song for us, didn't we?"
 At first, of course. the baby will not respond in words at all, but your friendly, interested tone will keep his attention on your story.
 The content soon will interest him for it's own sake and he will be- Sln to supply the words as you talk. Soon he will make voluntary con trIbutions of items of his own until gradually he tells more and more of the story.

washed, are taken. II the garments
are to- come out fluffy, some of the soap
should be left in them.
Expunge the water by pressure rather
than by wringing, so as to alter the
shape as little as possible. According to
the size Of garment and drying accom-
modations, one may choose between two
methods-that of partially drying in a
pilowcase hung in warm spot, or Of
laying the garment out on fiat sur
face and measuring it, either stretching
or "coaxing" it back into the right
shape. A combination of the two meth
DDS is recommended
The garment, partially dried, is re-
moved from the pilowcase and adjusted
according to measurements on a fiat
surface. If hung up it will be sure to
pull.
A large piece of clean wrapping paper
may be placed on floor or bed and the
garment laid on 1t in a manner to pre-
serve its contour. Before the garment
is absolutely dry use an iron upon it.,
taking care that it is not too hot. In
stead Of rubbing the iron across and up
and down, which will tend to stretch
the fabric, rest 1t for an instant on one
place and then another, until 1t is so
dry that there is no danger Of its being
stretched by the transverse motion
which may then be used.

Q, CESS 1t was ony one OF the usual
little spats young married cupples are
always having, pop sed. They proberly

But my goodness willyum, Harvey
picked UP good dish and herled 1t

Of 1t, the original cause Of dispute

You wont be able to help lafing wen

seems Harvey Is just as crazy on the
subjeck Of liver and onions as you are,
and 1t seems that was wat they were
to have for suppir, but Gladdis In an
idle moment changed the menu ana
wen Harvey came home he found ham,

And you call that trifie? pop sed.
Yee gods I wonder he dident smash the

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRRp.

Parents are most impatient with chill
dren when they slip up on perform
ance which they have been accomplish
ing well for some time. The parent
remarks saracastically: ''How can you
be so stupid, you have been saying
rum every time you saw 1t on the
last three pages and now you act as
II you had never seen the word before!"
The learning process is not a steady
upward rise In Improvement. The child
doesn't get better every time he repeats
q word. Instead he may seem to know
q new word for while and then he
learns some other new words and the
first one is temporarily forgotten. He
has to learn 1t again, only the second
time he recognizes it more quickly
and II the parent Is patient, or the
teacher, he soon learns the word so
that it isn't forgotten.
Adults learn in exactly the same
manner. Put maze in front of
blindfolded student and give him
pencil and let him "feel" his way about
the maze with the pencil point. He'll
get in all the blind alleys over and
over again at first. Then he'll begin
to avoid one, then another until after
repeated trials and many mistakes he'll
wrong move until his pencil slips out
at the end. But he doesn't make a
steady movement. He gets better each
trial for q while, then there is q period
when he makes little progress in better
ment and perhaps slips back and makes
some old mistakes. Then there is O
period when he improves rapidly. Then
another plateau when he shows no
improvement. And SO on until ne Is
perfect. All learning seems to follow
these curves.
Keep that in mind when you become
angry because child has done a thing
so often that you are sure he ought
to know how to do it perfectly. En-
courage his good work, ignore his mis-
takes and gently lead him along the
same path of learning as before. He'll
eventually reach the point at which you
can count on his knowledge.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROwLs.
Legal Psychology.

The institution of law. with all its
machinery of benches, codes and bars,
was and still is a practical expedient.
We would be unable to live without it.
1t constitutes an important section of
what in the large is known as civiliza-
ton. That much must be conceded.
The law as an institution must be
preserved.
But times change. This means that
our knowledge of human nature and
human needs undergoes modification.
In this changing knowledge Of men and
the needs OF men we find psychology,
as the science OF human conduct, exer-
cising a tremendous influence. The
time Is not far in the future when
every judge and every lawyer will be a
psychologist, more or less. The more
of psychologist he is the better for
his clients and for himself.
Psychology and law share the same
subject matter, deal with the same
thing-human nature and the way it
works.
The law as an institution was, of
psychology had become q practical
subject for investigation. It took
psychology centuries to get away from
speculation. The law had to get down
to facts as they were. So the law built
up system of traditions as guides for
the dispensation Of justice among men.
Facts and logical deductions therefrom
were the result; were the law as we
know it in its institutional forms.
Psychology goes beyond logic. The
unwritten laws of human emotions and
feelings are its speciality. The task of
psychology is to make these things clear,
to predict how and under what circum-
stances they will betray themselves in
conduct. II and when the day comes
when this can be done-and believe
1t viii come-the institution of law and
the science Of psychology will actually
be the same thing.
