BANK CLEARANCES DROP
IN LEADING u. S. CITIES

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 20.-The week.
ly returns on bank clearances as COM
piled by r. G. Dun & Co., show the
total for the leading cities of the coun-
try down 1877 per cent from the same
week OF 1929, with the falling of at New
York amounting to 1858 per cent. GEN
orally the decreases shown are found
to be largest at cities credited with
having participated extensively in the
bull stock market, such for example, as
Chicago, Detroit, st. Louis and Los
Angeles. The contraction undoubtedly
is accounted for in part by the slower
pace of business currently, as contrasted
with this time year ago. But it Is in
teresting to note that the shrinkags re-
corded at each of the four cities men,
toned above parallels that shown in
New York.

LIGHT MY WAY
. BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.

80 Boaz took Ruth, and she was his
wife. Ruth, iv.13.
Boaz was one of the leading citizens
in Bethlehem-Judah, a man of high
connection. He was rich planter and
owned many acres of barley land around
Bethlehem.
One afternoon during the harvest
season he went out into the field where
his reapers were at work. His eye
lighted on a young woman cleaning
fragments left behind by the reapers,
privilege granted to the poor by the
cuStome of the time. The young woman
was a Moabitish girl named Ruth. AS
our modern slang would express it,
Boaz fell for her. on the spot. And
that afternoon, there in the barley
field, began a romance which resulted
in a happy marriage.
Did BoaZ, this man of wealth and dis
tinction, make mistake when he mar
ried this poor peasant girl? Perhaps
1t was thought so in the higher social
circles of Bethlehem Yet it was his
marriage to the fair and gentle Ruth
that made his name immortal. But
for his marriage to her we should never
have heard of him. All his wealth, all
the honors attendant upon his high
standing would not have saved him
from oblivion.
It always creates a bit Of a fiutter
in social circles when a man Of wealth
marries poor girl When such a mar
rage take place we are apt to think
that the man has married beneath him
self But, as in the case of Boaz, in
many such marriages the reverse of
this turns out to be true.
There are inequalities that may be a
bar to marriage. but inequality of
wealth and social position is not neces-
sarily one of them.

Facial Muscles Sag.

Dear Miss Leeds: My cheeks are be-
ginning to sag, and this makes creases
from my nose down to the bottom of
my chain. What can 1 do to make the
flesh firm? MRS. A. d,
Answer.-Give your face the follow
ing treatments daily: First, steam 1t
lightly and then massage gently with
the first and second fingers of each
hand. Dip these fingers in food cream,
such as cocoa butter or tissue cream,
and then massage the cheeks with an
upward, rotary motion. After the mas
sage wipe of the excess cream and
cover the face with a mask or clean
absorbent cotton saturated with a mild
astringent lotion. Witch hazel may be
used for this. Lie down with eyes
closed and cover your face with the
wet cotton, leaving only lips and nos
tr1ls exposed. During this treatment
lie with the head lower than the rest
OF the body and relax thoroughly. After
about is minutes remove the cotton.
II the treatment is taken during the
day, apply powder base and powder
afterward. If at night, let the astrin-
gent dry and remain on.

Everyday Psychology
Seat of CONSEQUENCES.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs

Psychologists talk much about brain
localization." BY brain localization they
mean that different regions of the brain
are given over to different duties or
functions.
You have a psychological something
which In everyday language is called
consciousness. This consciousness must
be mental function of some sort.
SO lar as any one is able to explain
consciousness, it seems to be a psyche
logical ultimate. That is, it exists in
its own right and defies all attempts to
pry into its right to be.
There are few psychologists today
who go so far as to say that conscious
ness is a sort Of myth. can't under
stand them.
is a fact. If you know ANYTHING at All,
you know that you are you, and that
everything outside of you is something
elsa non-you, we shall saw. lust to
make rough distinctions.
Suppose now we attempt to locate the
fact of consciousness. Where does it
belong in the scheme of brain Iocaliza-
tion?
Everything points to the front of the
head, to that portion Of the brain that
the anatomists call the frontal lobes.
The reason for this sort of reason-
ing seems to run somewhat as follows:
Those creatures who act as IL they
know what they are and who they are
from moment to moment, day to day.
year to year, have prominent frontal
lobes
II anatomical structure alone is not
enough you can look at the problem
this way: You can say that con-
seriousness Is continuous generaliza-
ton of senSory experience. The per-
son whose senSory endowments are
keen is more aware of what is going
on than the one whose sensory en-
dowments are weak or disabled Just
tn put it all in one sentence, you may
say that the keener one is the more
conscious one is.
This comparison takes you right
back to what goes for intelligence And,
as rule, the more intelligent a per-
son is the more prominent are his
frontal lobes.

OUR CHILDREN

Now and again there comes terrible
headline in the newspapers. Youth has
failed again. Some unfortunate chill
dren have gone wrong. Immediately
the wires are warm with messages to
the effect that what this world needs
is character training for its youth.
Quite 50.
What this world needs is character
training for everybody. Youth is no
worse on than old age in that particu-
lar, I believe. None the less I would
try to help children grow a sturdy
character that sensed good from evil,
that knew the intelligent way from the
stupid one and had courage to walk
therein.
But I do not believe that preaching

at any suggestion of activity. Their
activity makes trouble for us. Noise and
disorder and waste are its natural ac-
compartments. We love peace and
quiet and order. Hence we set finger
to lip and give the restless things a
book and a pencil and tell them to
work quietly.
A little of book and pencil is very
good. 1t will do good to teach a child
to use books and pencils But they are
only means to an end, the coveted
goal toward which the children are to
strive. Unless they lead to action they
are worse than useless to the eager
children. Work must go with the book.

Honest work alone satisfies a child

made, If the wheels won't 90 round, If
the bells won't ring, If the bread isn't
fit to eat, the child is never pleased
with his job. He will turn from it
sadly. and the teacher will have to
know how to bridge the failure so that
it carries him to success.
We make a grave mistake by con-
fining active boys and girls to book
work at the time of their greatest urge
for activity, for growth through actual
experiences. Society does not permit
children to work in the markets, which
is wise and right, but society ought to
demand that somewhere, somehow, in
safe place such as school, the chill
dren get the experiences that work pro-
vides. That road leads to character
growth.

WINTERTIME
BY d. @. PEATTIE.

Summer incarnate is the war cry of
the Jay in sunny orchards, and yet the
bluejay is Winter bird. He braves it
out, like a soldier, like a wary general,
marching and concentrating with
the billiards rather than actually and
completely migrating to tropic lands
Most of the individual jays do go south
ward. Some of them appear ever on
the point of leaving because they fit
excitedly in Wintry weather. These
have stayed, hiding up in convenient
tree shelter during ferocious weather,
sallying forth in search of food in the
deceptive days Of thaw.
Around the wet Virginia woods, dur
ing times of thaw, have heard not only
the bluejay's war cry. the harsh jay
jay note, but also that other, that ro-
mantle and indescribable note that
sounds like "a-rink-a-rill," yet infinitely
liquid and content. Strangely, it
brought back the odor of sunburned
grass in June. There Is nothing on earth
for recalling a scene of long ago like a
bird call, except perhaps an odor.
The real charm of bird study consists
viduality of different species. The
pleasure to be found in setter is his
setterishness, in fox hound his fox
houndishneSs. For personal individuality
the jay has scarce a feathered equal.
His faults are quite another matter,
He is cross, thievish, greedy and an un-
abashed fighter of other birds, even a
murderer Of their young. Nuttall that
genial old naturalist, says that in the
presence Of the king bird he is a cow
ard and that he has a particular an
tipathy for the owl. But cowardly and
thievtng though he be, he makes a
brave splash of color through these dark
and snowy days, and his rafting cry is
music in an atmosphere where are only
chilly twitterings.
