Immediately a rustling took place in
the rich foliage of the snowballs. A
rosy squarely built boy of 4, with his
head a tawny mop of thick hair and
his small body incased in brief gar
ment of blue-and-white, appeared and
beaned at Margaret, who was his spe-
cial chum and favorite.
"W-o-t?" he called back boldly.
Nothing, darling. Go back playing!"
Mrs. Cutting called. Mummy just
wanted to see that you were all right,

The snowballs quivered again, the
boy was gone. Mrs. Cutting smiled.

Everyday Psychology
Genesis TO Revelations.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Looking over the fields Of research
into the whats and why's of human ma
ture, ] ind two distinct lines Of inves-
tigation.
On the one hand we have q group of
specialists interested In the question of
where We came from. On the other, a
group interested In where we as q race
are headed. Somehow, the whole spec
tacle suggests q well known book that
starts with chapter called Genesis and
ends with one called Revelations.
Curiously enough, each set of special
lists Is In the end working toward the
same end: Both want to know all there
Is to know about the nature Of human
nature
Their respective specialties are merely
different ways Of using the same data.
The geneticistS are hunting up data for
the revelationiStS. The revelationists
are interpreting the data furnished by
the geneticists. If you wanted to clas-
sify these two sets Of socialists in &C.
cordance with school subjects, you could
say the geneticistS are historians, while
the revelationists are sociologistS. Both
types are theoretical scientists.
Somewhere between these two sets Of
theorizerS you have group OF applied
scientists who are doing their best to
find out how to improve upon ways Of
making the most out Of life as It is.
They are not worrying much about
where we came from or where we are
going. So far as they are concerned,
the important thing is to live. So We
have medicine, agriculture, Statecraft.
economics, etc. After all, these are the
things that make up our world Of vital

Edwin M. Stanton looked with aston

they first met. It was at Cincinnati,
where they appeared as associate coun-
sci in a law case famous at the time.
where did that long-armed creature
come from and what can he expect to
do in this case?" asked the polished
Stanton.
He treated Lincoln with insulting dis
dain. II was never so brutality treated
as by that man Stanton" said Honest

stanton rose to be Attorney General
In the cabinet of President Buchanan.
But Lincoln was elected to succeed Blu

To his old chief, Buchanan, he wrote:

English breakfasts are unlike either
American or French breakfasts. Tea
usually, and toast and sometimes bacon
and eggs. Strangely enough, the Eng.
liSh have resisted the French breakfast
more thoroughly than Americans have.
Switzerland contributes honey as an
accepted breakfast dish. And If you
like it in addition to fruit, 1t is good
enough. II you can't take honey and
fruit together-if your appetite doesn't
hold out for both, give up the honey.
The fruit Is more wholesome. And
fruit is an American contribution to
breakfasts that Is well worth while.
The typical American breakfast might
be called fruit, stewed or raw; hot or
cold cereal and cream or milk, coffee

bread, with bacon and eggs for more

of the country pancakes are usual at
breakfast once or twice a week. Saul

Among this weeks Interesting queries
are these:

X. L.
A dish served au gratin is one baked
with bread crumbs strewn over the top.
Often In general usage cheese is also
added. But it Is the crumbs and the
baking that make the dish eau gratin."

Most Of US have very definite ideas
as to what is appropriate for breakfast
and what is impossible. What most of
us consider nowadays as suitable would
have been considered quite inadequate
by our grandparents. And their break
faSts, again, would have been laughed
at by their ancestors Of the Elizabethan
age in England.
For we nowadays blush to think that
dear mother, who always somehow
have eaten beefsteak without protesta-
ton for breakfast. Beeksteak! Awful
And our mother would have looked
upon the pint of ale her ancestors used
to drink in 1850 or whereabouts as her
breakfast beverage-well, she would
have looked on that as poison for break
fast.
And now we blush to think of
mothers beefsteak and fathers fried
potatoes and raw tomatoes dressed with
sugar and vinegar. - /.
Even today breakfasts differ. how

thing, in Old England another. There

fasts have been more Influenced by
travelling abroad than those Of rural
districts.
Americans when they come back from
a visit to France seldom have quite the
same notions concerning breakfast that
they had before they went. Many
Americans date their first limiting
breakfast to coffee and rolls to their

Of his President. Lincoln finally had
to put him in his place.

Stanton, "and will resign"
Grinnell finally went to Mr.. Lincoln.
The President understood the situation.
Promotion Of Col. Rice meant other
promotions, too. Such things encour-
aged enlistments. Moreover, Col. Rice
already had made q fine record. He
told Grinnell to take all the facts to

The Secretary Of War remained of

Scientific Way to Find Happiness

time unhappy idea changes the persons
attitude from displeasure to pleasure.
A little anecdote may serve to clear the
way to better understanding.
A person whose way to and from
the office led her through q street that
was most disagreeable used to dread
the walk until she applied the protec-
tive psychology to herself. She de-
termtnedly turned her thoughts to
pleasant things whenever she entered
this street. At first this was extremely
difncult, then It became quite easy and
finally her thoughts inStinctively be-
came pleasant whenever she entered
the street, which. therefore, lost its I'M
pleasant atmosphere.
It will be seen by this that protec-
tive psychology is intended to better
ones point of view. and thereby to
increase the happiness Of the indi-
Wdual. Anything that will have such
Q worthwhile reaction Is valuable. It
costs no money to acquire, but it does
cost effort. If a person is unwilling
to expend effort to gain happiness, he
or she certainly deserves to be miser-
able.
Most persons, however, supposedly
are willing to make attempts to in
crease their happiness. To such this
doctrine OF protective psychology is
pteSSing. Try 1t Tor yourself, and reap
the benefits it offers. It Is not an ex-
perimental matter Of science, but an
actual fact. So If you try without find
ing it reacts correctly, try again and
know that either you are not sincere
In your trials or you have not persisted
long enough to reap the rewards.

medicine Is well known" Similar value

for they are at the command of the
person who determinedly turns the
mind from unpleasant to pleasant mat
tiers, and so gradually transforms I'M
happiness into happiness.

time. Senator Walsh laughed probably
Tor the second or third time In his
whole career as Senate investigator.
This young woman, who is married
and is the mother Of two children, was
one OF the most extraordinary witnesses
to appear before Senate investigating

II clear at the start that she didn't
think everything about the committee
and les way OF doing things was exactly
legal. OF course, the Senators didn't
agree with her, but she kept her opinion
nevertheless.
AS she replied to questions. at times
she appeared TO get highly excited. Her
voice trembled bit at times, but rarely
vas she not master Of each situation.
Again and again roars Of laughter
from the spectators and press greeted
her answers to questions. At times Sem
ator Caraway had to request her to keep
quiet until he could get his question out.

One Of the most amusing Incidents

mittee from getting hold OF It.

said Caraway, "and you are suppressing
It."
