Everyday Psychology
Likes and Dislikes.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Why do you like some people, merely
tolerate some, secretly dislike some, and
openly express contempt for still other
people?
Intelligence and reason have little
to do with human relations, outside
of strictly economic considerations.
Prejudices, old and new, are the usual
generators of afinities and antipathies.
For example the very name alone
ofton determines ones initial attitude
toward a stronger. If a child incurs
dislike for the x family, living in
its neighborhood, then all the KS he
meets during the rest of his life are
likely to share that childish antipathy.
An "old" prejudice often blocks the
road to many social contacts.
But there is still another prejudice,
ever "old" In origin, ever new" In its
operation. refer to the sensitive Sense
of self" which every human being
cherishes in the interest Of self-pride
and f-preservation.
If new acquaintance says or does
something that enlarges your sense OF
self, you Immediately conclude that that
person Is likable. To put 1t another
way, you like those who are clever
enough to guess your unconscious weak
ness and to transform it into apparent
strength. This is a social trait which
in its universal application is possessed
by very few persons-those who are
universally loved and admired.
If your sense Of self is debated in
the presence Of an acquaintance-tnat
is. II you feel inferior-you dislike that
person.
So If you trace your likes and dislikes
among your acquaintance to their
origin, you will find your sense Of self
or pure ego at the end Of the trail.

Household Problems

Dark Colors.


Never again" is the verdict Of one
housewife who had the brown stained
woodwork of her old kitchen painted
and enameled white. The change was
wrought six months ago, and now she
Is counting the seasons until, In the
natural course Of things, she feels that
she can afford to have the kitchen
done over" It Is out of the uues-
ton now to go back to the stained
natural wood, but she has decided to
have the woodwork painted a substan-
tial brown or fairly dark gray.
White may look cleaner when 1t Is
spotleSs, but when it isn't, then a
darker color certainly has an advan-
| tage. And, of course, woodwork and
walls may be clean without being spot
less, for some spots come with natural
wear and tear, and no amount OF
scrubbing will bring back the in1macu-
late whitenesS of newly applied white
paint and enamel.
In hospitals the vogue for pure white
equipment has gone far and wide. The
great advantage there and in the nurs-
cry Is that 1t shows dirt so much more
quickly than any other color, and the
important thing there IS perfect clean
illness at any cost.
White clothes have something Of the
same qualities as white woodwork. They
show the soil, and that Is a disad-
vantage, and sometimes an advantage.
In selecting your children's clothes II
may be more important to seem than
merely to be. White stockings after a
few hours play certainly look much
dirtier than brown stockings, but they
aren't. It depends on your point Of
view which you choose. You certainly
always can tell when white clothes are
Soiled. You are never misled into
thinking they are clean when they are

IN OLDEN TIMES

1t is not strange that Shakespeare
wrote such triumphs of the pen, for
modern schemes to get mans goat were
not existing then. He could sit down,
In peace, alone, to write a deathless
play, and none would call him on the
phone and keep 1t up all day. There
was no radio next door to below tin
horn songs, and make his faded spirit
sore while brooding DER his wrongs.
No monographs were grinding late, on
records loud or soft, stale records he
had learned to hate, from hearing them
so oft. No car went honking past his
door with noise enough for ten and so
he sat upon the floor and piled his gift
ed pen. No agents to his window came
to sell him bonds and stocks, or to ex-
plain some giddy game that would bring
IN the rocks The Interruptions William
knew were trifling, suppose; the hun
cry flies around him flew and bit him
on the nose. He longed for an electric
fan when sweat rolled by the quart, but
no one then had tried to plan a dingus
of that sort. Refrigeration had not yet
put microbes on the blink; the cistern
was the one best bet when he would
have drink. He had his troubles, one
may say, when he sat down to write;
but there was quiet all the day and
twice as much at night. And If he
stepped outside the door, to look for
signs of rain, photographers, some six
or four, caused him no grievous pain.
He was not asked to write his name in
forty million books, to play the auto
graphic game for tourists hunting hooks
How could a man write Hamlet" now,
or yet Loves Labor Lost" when
there's an everlasting row, his patience
to exhaust How could he dodge the
and still produce corking play as good
as his "Macbeth?" WALT MASON.

Danny's Terrible Fright.
This fact to me is very clear:
Most folks are prone the worst to fear.
Danny Meadow Mouse.

An old tin can up In a tree was q
queer place for q Meadow Mouse home.
A Meadow Mouse is supposed to live
on the ground, or sometimes In 1t.
But there are exceptions. Just as
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse occasionally
builds over q birds nest and makes
1t his home, so does Danny Meadow
Mouse. It isn't q habit. Oh, my no.
It happens only once in q great while.
OF course, Danny and Nanny would
never have thought Of building home
in that tin can up in tree had it not
been for two or three things. Nanny
would never have thought of climbing
I'D to that tin can. You see, she was
in the can when 1t was put up there
by Farmer Browns boy. Probably she
wouldn't have thought of going back
to it had it not been for Reddy Fox.
She and Danny had to go somewhere
and being strangers in that particular
place, they knew of nowhere to 60 I'M
til Nanny thought of that tin can.
Then when they got there they decided
it would make lovely home. You see,
what with a grapevine and the shape
of the tree, 1t was very easy matter
for them to climb up.
Its wonderful" said Danny. "And
no one knows that we are living here"
you forget Reddy Fox" said Nanny.

Fresh Asparagus Is Good,
No Matter How Prepared.
ny FLORENCE LA GANKE,
By FLORENCE LA GANKR.

Cold days of Winter, rainy days Of
April are worth living through when
one remembers that May brings fresh
green vegetables. This was running
through Nancys mind as she went to
market. AS she had hoped, there was
a goodly supply of fresh asparagus.
That was the vegetable for her own
lunch and for dinner that evening.
She chose punches with stalks about
as thick as her middle finger. BY dig
ging her thumb nail into the stalk
about 2 inches from the cut end she
was able to determine by the ease with
which it went in just how tender the
stalks would be.
At home she cut OF the woody part
just below the point where her sharp
pairing knife cut through the stalk
easily. These rejected parts were peeled
and cooled, put through sieve and used
for asparagus soup.
For lunch she had whole stalks which
had been steamed until tender. With
them she served Hollandaise sauce.
For the evening meal she cut stalks
into 2-inch pieces. She reserved the
heads and put them in boiling, sailed
water after the remainder of stalks had
been cooking for 10 minutes. This
method kept heads from overlooking
She used little enough water so that
it was practically absorbed when vege-
table was tender. Over the cooked as

But Danny was mistaken. He found
that out that very day. Nanny was of
somewhere looking for food. Danny
was just about to climb up to his
home in the tin can when he heard o
rustling sound above his head. He
looked up. What he saw almost made
his heart stop beating. It was Mr..
Blacksnake. Yes, sir, it was Mr.. Black
snake. He was up in that tree. You
know Mr.. Blacksnake is very good
climber. Truth to tell, Mr.. Blacksnake
was looking for nests. He has a liking
for baby birds. At first Danny was
simply surprised and frightened by the
sight of Mr.. Blacksnake. Then he was
glad that Mr.. Blacksnake was up In
the tree instead Of on the ground. He
didn't once think that Mr.. Blacksnake
might visit that tin can.
Slowly Mr.. Blacksnake moved up to-
ward Danny's home. At last he
reached it. And then, to Danny's
horror, Mr.. Blacksnake put his head
inside. He went PARKWAY IN. Danny
couldn't remember whether or not
Nanny was at home. If she was, hs

Last Hours of Great Fighters

Hannibal's last gesture against Rome

The Romans defeated Antiochus

agreed.
In his days Of glory Hannibal had
performed the immortal feat of crossing
the Alps with an army. For Is years
he had maintained himself In Italy, and
at Cannae he had inflicted the most
disastrous defeat ever met by Roman
arms. Called back to Carthage to de-
fend it from a Roman army under

Unable to resist, he agreed to It.
