Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Food.Minded.

Time after time great naturalists
have asserted the primacy of food in
the making of mind.
Primitive theology indicated the i'm
portance of food long before science
began to take an interest in such a
commonplace affair. There was no
famine, no thirst, in the Valha1la of the
ancient Nordics. Bread of heaven
has its place in all modern religious
ceremonies. So much for supramundane
institutions. A similar philosophy holds
for mundane existence.
Sociology says the family is the unit
of the social order. But the family.
so far as sociologists can figure out, is
centered around the hearth-a place
where food was cooked.
Any economist will tell YOU that food
getting, food preservation and food dis
tribution constitute the fundamentals
of wealth, But it is possible to 90 still
farther. Perhaps the same organ that
masticates food. manufactures Ian
guage,
What do we mean by sweet memo
ries"? Under what conditions Go we
have bitter experiences? What is
meant by mental craving? why do
some feelings "set your teeth on edge?
Why do I say that some expressions
make me sick? Why does a disguised
person usually pretend that he is spit
ting his disgust out of his mouth?

Your Baby and Mine

It seems to me that mothers UNDER
! estimate the power of their disapproval.
Yet all of us have a clear recollection
of our childhood We remember wildly
many occasions when we recognized
that some speech or action did not meet
the approval of our parents.
Disapproval can be as terrible to Q
sensitive child as the lash of a whip.
But too frequent disapproval Of every
thing and anything soon loses its sting,
its power to correct.
| When a mother asks: How can I
prevent the child from interrupting the
conversation of older perSons?" she Is
disfegarding the fact that disapproval
of the child's actions is one of the
methods by which she shows that they
are unpleasant to her. Her next step
then is to give the child constant illus
| trationS of tactful ways of breaking into
a conversation, when it is necessary. As
she approaches a group of children, en-
gagged busily in their own affairs, she
can say, I'm sorry to interrupt you,
but lunch will be ready in few mo-
ments." The most successful teaching
method with children is always by
example.
This mother asks also what shall she
do when the child answers ''saucily"
when asked to do something? What
would the mother do If some adult spoke
tartly to her? Ignore it, wouldn't she?
Or show her resentment by her own
silence? Why not treat children this
way? Children are very keen at get
ting our attitudes, without many words.
The mothers silence, the quiet way in
which she answers are quite enough to
show any child that he has been rude.
He'll be sorry. then. aid determine m
wardly not to speak that way again.
His reaction is quite different II the
mother speaks angTily in return, Don't
you dare to speak to your mother that

that his mother is an antagonist. Why
shouldn't he speak that way? She IS
rude to him.
the mother has asked the child to do.
II the child is small rude remarks
crop out easily. Children speak first
and think second. Why not ignore the
remarks and concentrate on seeing that
the important order is carried out?
1t only comphcates matters to begin
firing on the sassy remarks until the
child forgets what he was to do.
Deal with the initial situation, which
was the order, and ignore the response
The child viii know that the mother
diSapproves. Her actions viii be evil

Then make a stronger effort to show

ceptable way to answer.

Antique metal articles acquire a Pc
culiar surface finish unless they are
constantly polished or otherwise cleaned
or secured. Sometimes this finish has
beautiful tones in it, and again its chief
effect Is to dull the surface This age
given finish is termed patina. In Latin
the word patina signifies a pot or pan
OF metal or earthenware, and it should
be added that ancient earthenware Jars
and vessels are among the things which
have this peculiar changed surface fin
tsh. Glass gets 1t, and even wood.
When a patina is centuries old, it is
priced. There are bronzes which have
marvellous tintS and tones in them
through age, and this is true of other
metal articles. Perhaps the most ex-
quisite discolorations that centuries
supply are found on ancient glass. A
visit to any art museum viii well repay
one who goes just to see vessels and
fragments of Pompeian glass with its
iridescent hues.
4 But ancient patina and modern are
two different things. It is part Of the
homemaker's duty to see that silver
keeps its pristine hue As soon as it
discolorS it shows neglect. This old
finish In the making is far from priced.
It takes long years TO make it suit con-
noissesirs.

! ished, while others are loud in their
diSapproval of this idea, believing that
its age is then lost because of its mod
ern finish. The latest pewter is as lus-
trous as soft-finished silver.
This reminds me of an antique spin
ming wheel that stands in an old Ply
mouth home. It was so dull and age
toned that it looked dirty to one of the
family recently possessed of the wheel
So with ariuous work and painstaking
care it was scrubbed and secured until
it looked spic and span. A collector
friend called one day and said:
Il see you have a new spinning
wheel. 1t will go better with your other
antiques when it gets toned and mel
lowed"
It was only when he examined the
spinning wheel that he found its an
tiquity. The wheel has been let alone
to mellow-that Is, to get a touch at
least OF the patina Of years again on it.
So is patina priced. But the person
who Is an amateur in the lore of an

Browns Boy Sees Twitchtail.
That is pest which doth annoy
The neighborS, or their crops destroy.
Farmer Browns Boy.

1t was a great ranch on which both
wheat and fruit were grown that
Farmer Browns Boy was now visiting
very different from the small farm back
East on which he had always lived. It
seemed to him that nothing was ia
miliar. The very grass was different.
And, of course, there were little folk in
feathers and fur who were wholly
strangers to him. It was with some
thing Of the feeling of seeing some one
from home that he got his first glimpse
OF Twitchta1 the Ground Squirrel, and
he made the same mistake that Flip
had made.
1t was while he was looking at the
orchard where for the first time he saw
prunes growing. He caught a glimpse
OF Twttchtan in prune tree, not a real
good look at him. Twitchtail jumped
to the ground and ran for home and
Farmer Browns Boy merely saw that he

he. THAT isn't Happy Jack, but dis

lated to Seek Seek the Spermophile. In
fact, he is a Spermophile or Ground

But he was In tree and he looks
Just like Happy Jack, protested Farmer
Browns Boy.
But you notice he didn't stay in the
tree and he was only in the lower
part" replied Cousin Tom. Ask Flip
IL he thinks these fellows are tree
Squirrels. I saw him having a wonder
full time this morning chasing them to
their holes. They can climb, but you
never see one high in a tall tree as you

Cousin Tom But they sometimes have

Working for Yourself.

"I'd work altogether different" many
workers say, "if I were working for
myself. What's the sense of working
my head of to put more money in
Mr.. Jones pocket. I'm earning my
salary and don't want to earn a
cent more" That sort of philosophy
is common in many Offices, factories
and shops. 1t is fatal
No matter where one works or by
whom one Is employed, he Is working
for himself. He is, or should be, lay
ing aside money for the day when he
can establish his own business, or
invest his money in a business that
will make him independent of any job
The fact that he Is being paid salary
by some one else is no sign that he is
not working for himself.
BY putting money In our employers
pockets we are assisting him In raising
our own earnings. The man who wants
to earn his salary and not q cent more
rarely earns his salary. Afraid to do
too much that will go uncompensated, he
does too little. He is always the first
man to be discharged or the last one
to be taken on. Many men overesti-
mate their worth.
In order to pay a man $50 a week
his employer must get $40. 600 worth of
productive business out of him. Even

sent the case this way: Assume that
you are in business for yourself and
that you do a business of $4,000. If
you could clear per cent net as your
salary and the normal interest on the
money you had invested you might
consider yourself lucky. Yet q man
who is not actually working for him
self earns the same amount of money
and undergoes no risk at all.
Many of the men and women who
feel aggrieved could not be their own
bosses. They simply haven't the abil-
ity. They are best OF working for
themselves under the employ of anoth-
er. On the other hand, there are men
and women who have managerial abil-
ity and they can capitalize it only in
their own enterprises. Yet 1T = not

y ONE folks call them buffalo
moths" but they are beetles and
not moths at all. In 1854, when
- they came to America, the family
got a good start on us. Then
we tackled the carpets to the floor
and kept the shades drawn. The furni-
ture, being very heavy, was not moved
about very much, and when it was
great irregular holes were discovered
under it in the carpet.
In museums, where furs, woolens,
feathers and like materials are stored,
the carpet beetle has become a prob
lem. The varied carpet beetle Is most
fond of the seeds that are exposed to
view in the cases. The stuffed animals
and birds are attacked by these beetles.
The grown members of the family
love the light. They may be found on
window panes and eagerly fly out of
the open windows. They are extremely
active flyers and may be found on many
varieties of flowers. The spiraea seems
to be the favorite. There on the stems
hundreds of these beetles will cling
together. In parks and gardens thou
sands have been seen.
