Everyday Psychology
What's in a Name.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

When Shakespeare declared that
there's nothing In name, he seems
to have drawn his conclusions rather
hastily. Had he met q few competitors
named Shakespeare, he, being the close
observer that he was, would in all prob
ability have said something else.
Anyway, we shall say that Shake
speares were as rare in his day as they
are in ours, just in order to find some
excuse in this case for the Bard OF
Avon. who was generally right.
There is something in a name. In
fact, there is a great deal. We owe this
information to Freud, who, unlike
Shakespeare, is generally wrong in his
deductions.
The reason is this: Your name is q
symbol of everything you are or ever
have been. Your name is you and all
you would like to be. It's your surname,
of course, that counts most. In all i'm
mentioned first. Your given name Is
at best a secondary identification tag.
Now when some one comes along
with the same surname as yours, you
Immediately feel that something has
been taken from you. Your ego Is de-
fiated to some extent. What you or
dinarily regard as special privilege
endowment or possession suddenly
goes down few notches on the stock
market of the sense Of self.
If you consider this problem of name
values from the standpoint of other
persons instead of yourself, you will flnd
that unusual names seem to carry
more weight than common names such
as Smith Brown or Jones. A man
with common name has to do some
thing extraordinary to overcome his
handicap.
There is a limit, of course, to every
thing. Some names are so out Of the
ordinary that they are definite handi-
caps. In that case the individual has
perfectly good reason for asking a
court to allow him to change his name

Shuttlecock.

Battledore and shuttlecock is an old
style game which used to be played by
ROYALTY. The battledore was a tiny
tennis racquet, the shuttlecock little
ball with feathers on 1t to make 1t ny
and keep it in the air. We have re-
moved the feathers to make the game
Of ping pong.
Indoor and outdoor tennis are nice
| games to play, but it isn't so much fun
| for the ball In golf and base ball, the
ball gets somewhere on the long drive
and the home run. But in battledore,
ping pong and tennis, the poor missile
| lust goes back and forth and never
arrives.
If we aren't careful the world will
get us into this sort of game and bat
us back and forth, in and out and not
could. it would sail off to the moon;
| II the shuttlecock had the wings of
the bird whose feathers it wears, it
would fly away according to its own
sweet will.
So would we if we could. But we
bounce back and forth from home to
| school and school to home: from room
to Office and Office to room. We're on
the move all the time. especially in a
big town, but we don't always get to
definite place.
Our conversation Is OlIcLl Vi IIllS ping
pong variety. She says this and she
says that. The words we bat out don't
fly over the fence, but bounce back and
forth like the feathered ping pong
balls of the shuttlecock game. We say,
Say, listen!" but if we had something
to say people would listen without
being told to.
Love is like this It's a game of
indoor tennis with its is love, 80 love,
40 love; and girls hart doesn't lodge
anywhere. 1t bounces back and forth
from court to court inside the lines of
mans attentions.
1t isn't merely the kind of coquetting
which is often the preface to ro-
mantle love story; it's sort of sys-
tematic flirting with men who haven't
any more intentions than a tennis ball
has wings. It's no real fun to play in
such a sport as that.
A mans heart may be able to stand
that sort of game better than girls,
since the heart of man is made Of
solid rubber. It's golf ball that can
stand any number of swats and not
mind it.
But the heart Of a girl is as light
and airy as tennis ball.

RETRAciNo HIS STEPS KNE1T BESIDE THE WOUNDED MAN

It seems strange that Gen. White
should have imputed lack of courage
to Sam Houston. The Representative
from Tennessee had not yet entered
upon his larger career-which was to
make him the hero of Texan inde-
pendence and the first president of the
Republic of TexaS-but IL years before
he had served with distinction under
Andrew Jackson in the Creek War. He
bore the scars of honorable wounds re-
ceived in battle.
The dispute started from the most
trivial causes.
From Washington Sam Houston sent
to his Tennessee constituents number
of documents, and also some seeds for
distribution. These were not received.
Houston was angry when he learned
of this. What was to blame? The
Nashville Post once. of course. And
who in the post office? Why, none
other than Postmaster Curry, appointee
of a political party to which the Repre-
sentative was permanently and beliger-
emily opposed.
"That scoundrel Curry, is to blame"
he wrathfully told his friends.
Curry refused to be called scoun-
drel. He sent a challenge to Houston,
his friend, Gen. White, being the bearer
of the cartel.
Houston declined to receive 1t.
Not from that contemplate
scource," he informed White.
1t was then that the general slurred
his courage. There was no reason. He
was not himself involved except as a
messenger.
II am not surprised, sir" he said
coldly. mo one who knows you ex-
pected you would fight"
Houston's face famed.
II will fight you, sir, or any gentle
man." he shouted, but will not fight
a scoundrel like Curry"
II am not sure of that" interjected
Gen. White.
TRY me-" said Houston.
Very likely White now cursed him
self for having taken up the cudgels for
Postmaster Curry The initiative had
been shifted to him. There was no
way out, and he sent Houston chal-
| lenge. 1t was accepted. and on Sep
TENDER %, 1926, the duel was fought.
The contestants met on the farm OF
H. j. Duncan in Simpson County, 200
yards from the State line. In the first
| flush of morning light, standing only
Is feet apart, they exchanged pistol
shots.
| White fell Houston made for the
boundary, but stopped when his adj
versary called his name, and, retracing
his steps, knelt beside the wounded
man.
| You have killed me-" said White.
II am very sorry for you" replied

women gave uN knitting their owr
sweaters a few years ago was not only
that they grew tired of counting stitche:
but that they discovered that it wa;
possible to buy ready-made sweaters
for the price Of the wool that it cost
to make their own-and the ready
made sort usually kept their shape and
resisted wear better than the home
made sort.
There is always certain demand
for handmade cotton and linen dresses
imported from countries where wom-

of us have found that dresses of this
sort seldom hold up so well as Ameri-
can made dresses with seams put to-
gether by machine. In the meantime
there is and probably always will be
something very attractive about fine
hand work of the purely ornamental
sort And this ornamental sort of hand
work appears on many of the smart new
dresses both those Of French origin
and those made in this country.

LIGHT MY WAY
Copyright, 1s3o.)
BY JOHN n. GUM.

Comfort yourselves. Il Thess, VII.
And the best way to comfort our
selves is to comfort others.
AS a quaint Japanese proverb puts it,
when you dig another out of trouble,
the hole from which you lift him be-
comes the place where you bury your
own sorrow"
This is the lesson Sir Edwin Arnold
teaches in his poem THE Light of
Asia" He tells of a mother who had
lost her child and who had gone to q
we'll known saint, beseeching him to
come to her solitude and give her back
her darling. And the saint replied: Go
out, my dear woman, into the world
and find a home where there Is less
sorrow than yours, and then come back
and repeat your request" So forth she
went on her quest, and after long wan
dering returned, and when the saint
man Of God, have wandered every
where, but I have found no such home.
still want my child, but want more
the power to help others"
Trouble Is apt to fill one with self
pity. And that attitude makes ones
trouble seem all the greater and the
harder to bear. The best way to get
out of that attitude is to turn your
attention to others, to see their needs
and bestow your compassion upon them
instead Of yourself.
People seek all sorts of antidotes for
grief and sorrow-amusement, society.
travel, change of environment, anything
that will drug the memory and dope the
feelings. But Surer and more satisfy
ing relief-an antidote that never fails
to soothe and heals the joy Of min
iStering comfort to other sorrowful
hearts.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 9, 1856.-Sleighing continued
to be enjoyed with great zest here to-
day.
sSuch a season for fine sleighing as
the present is an event previously I'M
known in our latitude for at least a
quarter of century" says The Evening
Star, land unless the temperature
changes almost miracuously, it Is very
clear that it is to continue. 1t may be,
for a week or a fortnight longer.
I'VE had no conception that, on a
pinch, Washington City could turn out
so many elegant sleighing establishments
as are now hourly rushing up and down
pennsylvania avenue, each transporting
from 2 to 20 happy folks. Those who
have fast horses are very generally
making the most of the current oppor-
tunity to show off their capabilities to
the best advantage.
so far we have not heard OF the
first serious or even trif1ing accident
resulting from the sleighing in our city,
though we have witnessed more break
neck driving done since Saturday night
last (five days ago. all over the city
than came off here in the previous
quarter of century. Why can't the
House catch the infection of the fast
spirit just now actuating all in Wash
ington outside Of the south wing of the
Capitol?"
The presentation of Verdis grand
opera, III Trovatore," at the National
Theater tonight won the admiration Of
large and brilliant audience. which
included nearly all of the residents of
this city who have a taste for good
music. Max MaretZek, who alone has
succeeded in presenting opera in the
United States successfully, is declared
never to have accorded an American
audience more faultlessly executed
musical entertainment than that of
tonight From the prima donna,
Lagrange, down to the most unimpor-
tant chorus singer on the stage, all gave
universal satisfaction
The convention of old soldiers ended
its sessions here today in Odd Fellows
Hall. The venerable G.. w. P. Gusts
delivered an address of considerable
length. The convention voted its
thanks to President Pierce for his
courteous reception and patriotic ad-
dress to the convention day before yes
terday. Nine cheers were given for the
President and nine for the Union. The
convention adjourned to meet in this
city January 8, 1857.
