Modern scientific psychology In based
upon the fundamental assumption that
somehow in the makeup OF al living
things there Is Q mysterious life-force.
It's nnysteriousness IL due to the fact
that we only know that it is, not what
Il Is.
This scientific decomposition Is the
one and only thing that distinguishes
the so-called life-scienoes such as biol
ogy and psychology from the other
sciences such as physics and chemistry.
Some psychologists call this life-force
the "elan vital": others call 10 the "evo-
lutionary nisis" Still others call 1t the
"hormic principle" The term will

The woman who, through business
o. other duties, IS unable to give spe-
cial attention to the making Of her
own clothes often has enough time to
add to the ready-made garment Of
moderate cost some touch which will
distinguish it from others Of its kind.
To any person of taste 1t Is something

part Of her own costume making its
way down the street. The beauty Of
the dress, even II it has been q costly
one, seems to have been lost.
The vogue for figured georgette this
year has been pronounced, and such Is
tho similarity among many Of them
that the discriminating woman seeks
for something to set her costume apart
from the rest.

cal one, Is given to . figured chiffon or

OF the few studies that have been
made Of old age, none have much to
say about the decline Of the win to live.
It's something that doesn't happen very

This will to live must not be regarded
as O relative Of the will to die. which
finds expression In carelessness and

Picking Up"

One Mother Says:
My children would never pick up
their things, and ! used to fret q good
deal about It, until two ideas hit me
simultaneously. One was that my chill
dren do not differ from others, and the
other that If I could make game
out Of 1t I might be able to induce
them to pick UP their possessions
without so much constant reminding
and scolding. My children have all
ways liked games that have the ele-
ment Of chance in them, such as draw
ing missing numbers or names, so I
decided to try the same idea. Each
evening wrote on little slips Of paper
different little Jobs that wanted the
children to do, and which properly
were their own work, and then let
each child perform the tasks that were
listed on the slip which he had drawn.

TREASURER ADMITS
 S4O,0O0 SHORTAGE
Boston Bank Employe and Fruit
 Dealer Are Arrested

Boston, Aug, 13 (UP)-John w. Perry, 3S, veteran employe and as- sistant treasurer of the Beacon Trust Co.,, was said by police today to have confessed to the larceny of s40.o00 in bank funds. The defalcations covered a period of two years. Perry was arrested last night. Shortly afterward, John P. Given, 42, of Watertown, president of the John P. Given Fruit and Produce Co.,, also was arrested, charged with larceny and receiving $40,9O0 from the bank.
 According to the authorities, Given established his fruit and produce company in 1927 and needed money | to finance the business. All his checks were honored at the bank and while on the books he still had a balance, a check-up showed that his account was overdrawn by about $40,O0O.

CENSORSHIP KEEPS DEF PAYMENTS BUSY
Post Office and Customs Bureau
 Ban Obscene Books

Washington, Aug. 13-Either the world is getting naughtier or Uncle Sam is getting much more partcu- lar.
 Or again, possibly the post office department and the customs bureau are merely wing R friendly rivalry to see which can censor the most literary material and get away With it.
 At any rate, these two depart ments have been extraordinarily ac- tive within the last year in their efforts not only to keep from the citizenry such printed matter as might conceivably affect the morals of adolescents but also that which might put political or economic ideas in our heads.
 In the latter type of censorship l the post office department is able i to get a large edge on it's rival For the postal laws with a little stretching of the imagination allow it to bar from the mail> books, pamphlets or envelopes whicI are regarded as disrespectful to con stituted authority. They also cover cases of obscenity.
 The customs laws, however, mere ly bar from the country printed matter which customs officials ma' decide to be obscene.
 Of course many university pro fessors and several senators, mos recently Bronson Cutting of Nep Mexico, have protested against an. extension of the customs censorship powers, but the customs boys on tn
 Wharves will doubtless ask how any one expects them to tie the post of flee censorship score while working
 under such terrific handicaps. Nevertheless, very short sum
 mary herewith will show that tn customs service has been holdin up it's end and that these tw 5 arms of government between ther , have lately broken all previou v records for banning books an whatnot from the mails and fror , the country at large.

 Miss Barrymore Sunday night criticized Gilmore for his action at a closed meeting of equity at which he asked and received the support of the organization to a program, calling for the employment of Equity actors for so per cent of each cast.
 Miss Barrymore said this plan had | been submitted to the producers at a series of secret sessions by the Equity committee of which she and l Gilmore were members, and that the producers had refused to con- sider it.
