Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
Right Handedness.
(Copyright, 1919

Why are you right-handed? Or why
are you left-handed? 1t is still gener-
ally taken for granted that right
handedness is natural and that left
handedness means some freakish twist
in natures set-up. The question is this
Is handedness a habit or an instinct?
If YOU choose to argue that handed
ness is a habit and not an instinct. YOU
NAV point to the fact that there exists
nowhere a left-handed society, tribe or
nation. In other words, right-handed-
ness is a social acquisition, not a nat
ural ability.
If YOU choose to argue that right
handedness Is natural, you may point
to the fact that 95 per cent OF all
human beings the world over are right
handed.
Again you may use this same fact In
s,lnport of the theory that right
handedness is a habit. You were taught
to use your right hand from infancy
Another fact supports the habit theory
Babies up until 3 weeks old show. nc
preference for the use Of the right
hand.
You may go step farther in sup
port of the habit theory. About hall
of all feeble minded persons are right
handed. The other half are left
handed. You could take this fact to
mean that feeble minded children dc
not learn readily, and therefore do not
ACQUIRE the habit of right
easily, like normal children. With
them right-handedness is a matter OF
chance rather than instruction.

the largest votes ever recorded In South
Carolina for that Office
He had held other jobs which prob
ably got him more votes than public
Office. He was one of the prime movers
in establishing the Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION in 1905 and was for three
years agent and general organizer for
that body.
His knowledge Of cotton is based not
only on intensive study, but also on
personal experiences as a cotton farmer
Those who sat with him during the
Senate'S investigation of the 1927 cot
ton slump were convinced that the
South Carolinian had a real grasp on
the economics of cotton.
Now serving his fourth term in the
Senate Senator Smith shares with the
late "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman alone the
distinction Of having been chosen by
his State for more than three terms
since the close of the Civil War.
He also is rather proud of the fact
that once during his time in the Sen
ate he was elected chairman Of a
major committee during a Republican
administration.
A combine of Democrats and insur-
gent Republicans made him chairman
of the important Interstate Commerce
Committee while he was serving his
third term. Senator Cummins, Repub-
lican of Iowa. was the man slated for
the post. but because he sponsored the
Esch-CumminS transportation law. the
insurgents found him Objectionable.
The Senator is the son of min
lister. Two of his brothers are min
isters-one a bishop. Two Of his sisters
also married ministers.

DAILY DIET RECIPE
ROAST DUCK

Roasting ducks may be pur-
chased at all seasons Of the year
but are probably at their best in
Writer. They weigh from three
to six pounds but do not have
very much meat on them and
will serve less portions than the
same size chicken. A six-pound
duck serves three or four por-
tions. Have the bird carefully
drawn, Singed, cleaned and
washed Filling the cavity with
stuffng made according to your
preferred recipe The stuffng
should be light and moist but
never wet. Tie tail securely with
a piece of white string and faStA,
to the crossed drum5ticks. Dredge
with -four, seasoned with salt and
pepper. If desired two slices of
salt pork or of bacon can be laid
across the breast of the bird.
Place in hot oven $500 degrees
Fl for twenty minutes. then re-
duce heat and finish roasting at
moderate heat (400 degrees) AL
lowing 20 minutes to each pound
Basic every ten minutes during
last half hour of baking. If de-
sired gravy can be made at the
end of cooking by thickening
drippings with -four and season.
ing we'll with table sauce The
chopped cooked giblets should be

made by cooking the duck in a
seasoned gravy of tomato from
the beginning of the cooking

DIET NOTE.
Duck furnishes protein. Some

Cottage Cheese.

When preparing cottage cheese from
milk that has soured, remember that 1t
should be cooked very slowly, and net toe
long, or the cheese will become tough
and leathery. Many persons prefer a
natural unlocked cheese, made from
clabbered milk and cream poured in a
cheesecloth bag and allowed to drain
until the whey u extracted.

vincing-but she can always do in
finitely better if the part fits her.
In the case of Janet Gaynor. how
ever, this hope has been realized-not
once but twice. The first time was
when she played the memorable
Diane" of 18th Heaven"-a role that
might have been written to order for
her unusual personality and her visit

TENDER As. AS the immortal Judy"
the little orphan girl whose courage
wins her eventual happiness, Miss
Gaynor again has part that meas
ures up to her own high standards Of
poignant charm.
While Fox studio officials had long
realized the appropriateness of the
we'll known Jean Webster play for
their star, the peculiar suitability OF
the part was not apparent until Direc-
tor Alfred Santell and Sonya Leyien,
the scenarist, began work on the pic
ture.
Both Miss Leyien and Santell were
astonished to find that no alteration
of any kind in Miss Gaynor's part in
Daddy Long Legs, was necessary or
even advisable. The part Of Judy"
was so ideally suited to her that it
was utterly out of the question to
change it in any way, other than the
unavoidable condensation of tRo-
hour-and-a-quarter play to make an
Observation-Disclosures picture.
Warner Baxter is co-starred with
Miss Gaynor in the film. Una Merkel,
John Arledge, Claude Gillingwater,
Kathlyn Williams, Elizabeth Patter-
son. Louise CLOSER Hale, Effie Ellsler
and other favorites are also in the
