Everyday Psychology
Memory.

Memory has long been recognized
as one Of the universal faculties of
mankind. 1t is rooted deeply in human
nature. In fact, it's the common
mental property of all living things.
So far as experimental psychology
has been able to discover, some sort
Of memory, vague though 1t may be,
reaches down even to the earthworm.
IT living thing can learn, 1t has
memory. Earthworms can learn. Very
slowly. to be sure, but yet they learn
some things.
Those who have wondered and then
wondered some more about this great
faculty have asserted that memory is
in the last analysis a physical thing:
that even q piece of paper has it. Per-
hapS they're stretching the point. But
anyway you may fold q piece of paper.
That leaves q crease. When next you
fold the paper, It tends to fold along
the old crease. That's memory in q
physical sense. Now can you say that
a creased sheet Of paper learns more
rapidly than an increased one?
II we knew all there is to know about
memory, we might find that mind and
matter are close relatives. Perhaps
Aristotle was right when he said that
even stones had souls.
This philosophy reminds us Of some
OF the everyday superstitions about psy-
chology. You often hear people talking
about the power of mind over matter"
the influence of mind on mind" and
the like. The physical theory Of
memory, II true, helps to get rid Of such
superstitions

Soap for Dry Skin.

Those whose skin Is dry and sensitive
can sympathiZe with the woman who
wrote in recently saying: eff you could
only tell me how to keep my face clean
without having 1t get red and blotchy
would be eternally grateful to you. I
absolutely cannot feel clean when use
cleansing cream alone. just must use
warm water and soap at least once q
day. But when I do my face smartS
and feels terrible no matter what kind
Of soap choose nor what soothing 10
tons may apply afterward."
There are just such skins and Il Is
also true that there are few compilations
that do not feel the necessity Of o soap
and water cleansing at least occasion
ally.
In the first place, such skins should
never be washed in hard water. If soft
water Is not available, soften 1t by i'm
mersing in 1t little bag filled with
oatmeal, almond meal or bran, Wash
the fact with this mealy water and rub
the bag on the skin also.
When it comes to soaps, there are
many who find that they are able to use
a pure baby CASTLE without discomfort.
When even that seems too harsh the
following excellent preparation may be
made, using CASTLE as the base: Shave
OnC~Ala1A ROuLU O1 NhSJll6 soap very
finely. Cover 1t with water, set over q
double boiler and let 1t melt very slowly
until the flakes have become a soft
mass. Add gradually one-fourth pound
OF almond meal or oatmeal. Do not let
the mixture boil, but let 1t remain over
the fire until thoroughly blended. Re-
move from fire and let cool. Before
the mixture has entirely cooled, shape It
into cakes Of convenient size. In pur-
chasing the materials for making this
soap do not buy the almond meal which
IS already mixed with powdered soap
insist on the pure meal and also on an
absolutely pure CASTLE soap.
If milady will use this kind Of soap
and also soften the water as suggested
she should be able to cleanse her face
nightly with soap and water. After
washing and drying the face soothing
skin tonic should be applied and al
lowed to dry on the skin. The following
ingredients make mild, pleasant skin
tonic: Orange flower water, four ounces;
boric acid, one. dram; glycerin, three
drains; roSewater, two ounces.

Spineless Attitude.

Dear Mimi: My husband and I have
been married six years While he was
supposed to be at night school, the past
several months, he has been going out
with other women. Among them Is a
single girl who was at party In our
house this Summer. don't know her.
She was visiting friend Of mine whom
I invited.
when I became suspicious Of his ac-
tons and he was pinned down, he adj
mitted going out with this girl-and
also said he loved her. But love him
also.
"Please don't tell me to let her have
him. as life would be awfully dark with
out him. Her people think him single
and he says If I should tell them
(Which I think I should) he will leave
and get a divorce.
I'VE are buying a dear little home,
and have been working for q couple
Of years to help pay for It. If I should
get this girl out Of the way, am sure
I could make 60 Of things. When I
call her common he gets awfully mad,
but wouldn't a girl be so who runs
around with q married man?
He also went out with another girl
when he was supposed to be on busi-
ness trip. Please tell me how to save
him and what to do"
You have q great deal Of confidence
in q man who has so consistently shown
his duplicity. His threat to leave you
and marry the single girl If you expose
him Is ridiculous. He could not get q
divorce from you unless you consented
to 1t. He only wants to frighten you
into silence. He wants his freedom to
continue in his selfish, hypocritical way
Even II you get rid Of this girl, there
will be others. There were others be-
fore her and there viii be others after
her. Don't bank your future happiness
You ask my advice-then want me
to tell you what you want to hear-that
you do not have to leave himl My
kindest advice Is: Leave him If he has
not by now learned to appreciate your
willingness TO help toward making a
home, he never win. He has abused
your best intentions. He continues TO
deceive you-which you permit.
Where Is your pride? Where Is your
respect for yourself? You deserve o
decent man-not an unfaithful, ego
tistical, self-centered, inconsiderate be-
ing, who dareS to take advantage of
your weakneSs-your love for him. He
doesn't love this girl-he only loves
himself!
If your love for him is so desperate
that you can bear going through life
warding Of other women, begging,
pleading and imploring his truthfulnesS
grasping at the crumbs Of affection he
occasionally throws your way-then &C
cept your chosen fate. But you are
choosing . thankless, weariSome fate.

FAMOUS PREDICTIONS
The "Creat Wind" of Scotland and the Ill it Blew.
By J. p. GLASS.
Do CAN REMAIN UNDER SHELTER" SAID THE KING.

Count de Dreux-in 1885. A year later
he gave a great feast 70 his mobiles at
Edinburgh. It was the 18th Of March,
in Lent, but the Scottish mobiles feasted
and reveled until a late hour. When
they finally started to break up, they
found that storm was raging.
Alexander was bent on joining 70
lande, who was at Kingdom. HIS
servants urged him not 70 venture into

who was most ingistent he said: "Since
you fear the gale, remain safely at
home"
"No. my lord" replied the man. 1T
would Ill become me 10 refuse to die for
your fathers son."
When Inverkeithing was reached, the
violence Of the elements had increased.
Once more the royal followers remon-
strated. for the country now grew wilder
and wilder, and the road more danger
Gus. The King only laughed at them.
He was in high SpiritS-perhaps from
too much liquor.
"Give me two runners TO show me the
way" he quoth, land the rest of you
can remain in shelter
He pressed on into the wind and rain.
As he rode along the crags close above
Kinghorn, his horse stumbled, he was

bottom Of a great precipice, being killed
instantly.
1t was now the small hours Of March
Is, 1885. When morning dawned fair
and calm, people reproached Thomas
the Rymour Of Ercildoune, for his pre-
diction.
Noon is not yet gone" he replied
A messenger later arrived with the news
that the King was dead.
The Oldest poem In the Scottish
tongue Is said to have been lament for
Alexander. He was the last male Of
his line. For long, Scottish Kings had
been on friendly terms with the English
and Scotland had been peaceful and
prosperous. His death was to change
all, for the only remaining scion of the
royal line was his granddaughter, the
daughter Of Eric of Norway. From then
on Scotland was to be racked with
bloody disputes and perplexing prob
lens. It was, In deed. an Ill wind that
blew on March 16, 1885.
