Runty could have told him how It
happened, but never did. While his
brothers and sisters were running this
way and that way so full OF curiosity
about everything they saw, Runty al
ways kept an eye on Unc' Billy and
managed to be somewhere near him.
He had early discovered that Unc' Billy
didn't have the real care of that big
family and so had more time to hunt
for food. Runty just took advantage OF
this. and while he was just as curious
as his brothers and sisters, he did his

quicker and safer to learn from others

obedient Some were cautious and some
were needless and careless.
The smallest of them was called
Runty because he was so small. He
was small to begin with, and somehow
he didn't grow as fast as his brothers
and sisters. 1t wasn't because he didn't
get his share of food, for he did. Some
of the others thought he got more than
his share, for they thought Mother
Possum favored him because he was SO
small. She didn't. 1t was simply be-
cause he was quick and smart that he
got his full share and sometimes little
more.
When Unc' Billy saw him for the
first time he was inclined to be sorry
for Runty. "Ah reckon ah will have to
keep an eye on that lille fellow an see
. that he is fairly treated by his brothers
and sisters" thought Unc' Billy. "Ah

Dry, horny elbows are also seen very
frequently, and this Is a defect which
needs special treatment, but one which
can be easily conquered. Such elbows
needs a massage with warm oil. At
night after first scrubbing with warm
water and soap, wrap hot towels around
the elbows to open the pores. Then
the elbow is ready for a massage with
warm oil. For this one may use cocoa
butter, olive oil, oil of sweet almonds
or oil of benne. Massage for several
minutes, leaving some Of the oil on

treatment will be gratif1ed to discover
that even the hornieSt elbow will soon

housekeeping that consume time.
Where there are little children in a
family, sticky doorknobs are not in
frequent, and there is a good excuse
for them, however disturbing it is to
handle such knobs. A mother has to
be constantly guarding against such an
noyances. first by training the little
folk to keep their hands clean, and sec
ond by going around the house very
frequently with a wet, soapy cloth and
a towel and washing any knobs that
require it.
There is little kindly leniericy for the
woman who does her own work and in
whose house sticky doorknobs are
found, It seems to bespeak poor man
agement. That there are actual rea-
sons for eXtenuating circumstances has
been indicated. These have been given
not to condone poor housekeeping, but
to forestall the homemaker against
criticism by calling attention to
trivial task that may be sighted.

Everyday Psychology
Self-Portraits.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.


Your first notions about the world in
general and yourself in particular were
born Of imagination rather than knowl-
edge. 1t is even true Of adults
that where knowledge leaves OF, imagi-
nation begins.
Imagination Is good thing but it is
likely to be somewhat extravagant. The
products of the imagination are called
phantaSieS - unconscious, eXtravagant
biased personal opinions.
Among the very earliest phantasies
are those that pertain to your estimate
Of yourself. Call them self-portraits,
and you get the correct notion. These
seh-portraitS tend to last Throughout
q self today Is largely the product Of
your imagination of many years ago.
As you grow older and get more and
more experience, your early phantasies
change somewhat. The amount Of
change depends q great deal on how
long you have been a student in the
school of hard knocks. Hard knocks
and Disappointment tend to reduce in
grandeur your portrait of yourself.
Easy living tends to enlarge it. Ex-
IRENE reductions or engagements are
dangerous
It would be well for all of US If we
could get reasonable portrait to go by.
Some people can't stand prosperity be-
cause they cannot picture themselves
living an easy life They have too small
portrait of themselves.
The law holds good for the reverse.
Those who have had it very easy and
who therefore hold high opinions of
themselves cannot easily stand a heavy
loss or q severe shock A recent study
Of suicides shows that they take place
more frequently among the well-to-do
than among the unskilled laboring
