Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Thinking.

The older philosophers of mind fig
ured out that psychology was merely
Q story of the way people do their
thinking. In other words, psychology
for them was that science which ex-
plains how human beings get their
ideas and what they do with them.
This old philosophy has lot OF COM
mon sense in it. What could be more
important than the biography of your
thinking cap?
Just to take few snap judgments on
the question, it would appear that you
may think about thinking from at least
three points of view.
Some people can't think straight,
others can't think fast, others can't
think at all.
In sense, no one can think straight.
II you have an entirely new and COM
plicated problem to solve mentally you
60 at 1t by the method Of trial and
error" and finish it by the method Of
trial and success" If 1t were pos
sible to draw a picture of your idea
ton the whole process would resemble
somewhat a picture of the turns and
retracements a rat makes in learning
the runways Of a maze.
Those who think slowly do so be-
cause they have so many ideas on the
subject that it takes time to get them
arranged in the order of their bearing
On the problem.
Those who can't think at all are
those who get their ideas mixed up
with their feelings. They suffer a sort
Of mental paralysis. No result.
II you put these three reasons to-
gether you may be able to understand
why nothing is so painful as the
birth Of new idea," why mo one
thinks perfectly"

BRIDGE TALKS
BIT MRS. JOHN MUNcE. JR.

There is a much-used expression
among bridge players, always cover
an honor with an honor" The ques-
ton of when to cover an honor and when
to pass it requires careful study and
presents a number of problems. To
say that one should invariably cover
an honor with an honor is misleading,
and to say that one should generally
do so is an exaggeration; but. to be
quite accurate, we will say that fire.
quently we should cover an honor with
an honor. There are times when sec
ond hand should cover an honor with
an honor. For instance, If declarer
leads a queen from his closed hand
and the dummy contains the ace and
jack, with the second hand holding
king, 10-spot and one small card of
the suit, or king and two small cards
of the suit the second hand should
cover the honor with the king.
There are occasions in which second
hand should cover an honor with an
honor, as by so doing this makes good
a card either in his own hand or that
of his partner.
Many times declarer leads an honor
with the hope that the opponent or
adversary will be tempted to cover 1t
and thereby establish the suit for de-
clarer In such a case it Is not wise
W CONSI. TUT II JAAS
leads the queen, and second hand
holds the king and two or three small
cards of the suit, and the dummy the
ace and one or two small cards, II
second hand does not play his king it
will eventually take trick, but, should
he be careless enough to play it, he
undoubtedly will establish the suit for
the declarer.
1t is difficult to lay down q hard and
cf yrN 70 onY1lind in
case, and no other part of the game
is as hard to explain, but second hand
should use his best Judgment by put
ting himself in declaref's place and try
to figure out how he plans to play
his two hands and then make an effort
to outwit him.
When as adversary you are short
in trumps-.have three or less-and
your only hope of making an extra
trick is to ruff, or trump q winning
card in the dummy or closed hand,
then you are often tempted to lead an
ace from the ace and two, or single
ton. When these leads are successful
they are very nice, but they are quite
disastrous when the closed hand con-
tains the trick-taking card for your
lead. In other words, every effort at
ruff1ng is gamble.
In playing a no-trump declaration,
II the original lead has been from q
suit of five cards or more, and the
first trick is won by leaders partner
with the ace or king, when the leaders
partner returns the lead, If leader cam
not take the third trick in this suit he
should not take the second trick, I'M
less he has a sure and quick re-entry
in his hand. If he should take this
trick and have no re-entry he would
not be able to make the other cards
in his hand good; but with sure
re-entry should take the second trick
and by the third lead establish his suit.
Then. If he should be fortunate
enough to get in with his re-entry he
will be able to make the other cards
of the suit in his hand good. This
passing of a trick when the original
leader has no re-entry is known as
"ducking"

Then he told the Secretary about his

all matters pertaining to ordnance.
Payne at that time was q major in

He asked Tilson to help him get
Payne to Washington for an audience.
Tilson wired Payne Immediately only
to be informed by his Office that he
was flying over the country on business
and would not return for several days.
Col. Johnny located him at Memphis,
Tenn, and wired him there urging that
he come to Washington ,
Payne replied that he was just then
taking of for New Orleans and the
Southwest and would stop by the Capital
on his way back East.
'"That'l be too late" he wired back.

So Payne set out for Washington.
Upon arrival here he found Secretary
Hurley seriously Ill with orders from
his physician to see no one. But when
informed of Payne's presence, the Sec
rotary requested that he come to his

Hurley was too i'll to do much per-

days or more. Meanwhile the Massa-

busy.
Payne finally accepted He resigned
all offlces held in firms or corporations
engaged in doing business with the

Making Use of Embroidery
BY MARY MARSHALL.

desirable than the more difficult solid
embroidery. There are many ways of
making use of it in decorating simple
Summer dresses of lightweight silk or
cotton.
The sketch shows q Summer costume
consisting of sleeveless dress and short
jacket of plain Manufactured shan
tung with embroidery done in a soft
light shade OF brown. This same design
may be used to trim little girls dresses
using the simple motif to form Dor
der near the hem of the skirt, repeated
on sleeves and front of blouse.
To mark the circle you may use a
spool from your work box. Run long
needle through the center of the spool
to mark the center of the circle and
then mark 10 lines from the center to
the circumference and stem at the
lower side of the circle. Nothing could
be simpler and yet when the design is
worked 1t Is most effective.

Carol the Meadow Lark.

Reddy Fox knew that Carol the
Meadow Lark and Mrs. Meadow Lark
had a nest on the Green Meadows
Mrs. Reddy knew it. Old Man Coyote
knew it. Redtail the Hawk knew 1t.
Whitehall the Marsh Hawk knew 1t.
You see, 1t was no secret. Any one
just listening to Carol as he poured
out the joy of his heart would have
known just what it was that made him
so joyous. So, as I said before 1t was
no secret. But the location of that
secret and a we'll kept secret
IT don't suppose 1t is of much use t.
look for Carols nest, but just the same
am going to try it." said Reddy Fox
to Mrs. Reddy. There is nothing
gained without trying. A nestful of
young Meadow Larks would taste as
good as anything could think Of"
Mrs. Reddy grinned. Il wish you
luck, my dear" said she. Il have al
ready searched the Green Meadows
several times for that nest. Perhaps
your eyes are sharper than mine. Any
way, wish you luck"
Reddy hid on the edge of the Old
Pasture, where he could look across the
Green Meadows. He saw Carol mount
up in the air singing, for Carol does
this sometimes. Then Carol dropped
back in the grass. Reddy took careful
note of just where that place was. He
didn't go over there then, however. He
remained in hiding. Presently Carol

for some time he sat on this, telling all
the world how happy he was. When
finally he few, he dropped down in the
grass very near the place where he had
dropped down before. Reddy grinned.
"Of course" said Reddy to himself,
that nest isn't there. I know Carol
well enough to know that he never
would make the mistake Of flying d.
rectly to his nest. But I also know
that that nest is not great distance
from that spot. 1t is near enough for
Carol to walk to. The thing to do is
to search in circle around that spot. "
So Reddy came out of his hiding
place and started across the Green
Meadows. AS he drew near the place
where Carol had disappeared in the
grass he began to move very carefully
He would take q step or two and then
stop to look and listen. Presently the
very thing that he expected happened:

squatting in the grass. Carol had left
a feather or two there. From that spot
Reddy began working out in all direc-'

away.
In this Reddy was right. AS matter
of fact, twice Reddy passed within easy
jumping distance of Mrs. Meadow
Lark. Twice he looked straight at her
and didn't see her. Yes, sir, Reddy
looked straight at Mrs. Meadow Lark
and didn't see her. The reason was
that she kept perfectly still and her
feathers were so nearly the color of
the dead grass that it was difficult to-
tell grass from feathers. So in the.
end Reddy had to give up. When he.
got home Mrs Reddy said nothing at
all. She merely grinned.
