laughing and promptly switching the
conversation. It Is evident that he re-
CARDS his artistic ability lightly. But
despite this, Tydings has q deep and
real interest In art. And he knows
much about 1t.
His interest Is practical. One Of the
first things he did when he came to
the Senate was to launch a movement
In behalf Of the struggling artists of
the country.
He has appealed to Congress for an
annual appropriation of $4,000, which.
If granted, he believes would prove. a
boon to art in America.
It Is his plan that there be held
annually in washington a national ex-
hibltion open to all American painters
and SculptorS. Those submitting the
best i've paintings and those submit
ting the best five objects Of sculpture
would receive awards.
The prize winning works would be-
come the property of the United States
Government. The selections would be
made by q national board OF painting
and sculpture, composed Of noted
artists.
Tydings believes such q plan would
cause to be depicted on canvas and on
stone all phases of American life. He
says that had such a policy been fol-
lowed during the last century there
would now be in the possession Of the
Government some 500 paintings.
These paintings would tell the story
OF the century past" he says, "far more

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
What of Freudf

Numerous short sketches about Sig
mund Freud, the 73-year-old psyche
logical sage of Vienna, are now appear
ing. Twenty years ago Freud was ridi-
culed, and even cursed. A few psychol-
ogists tolerated him; a very few even
tried to understand him. The layman
laughed, wondered, and laughed some
more. No psychologist, In the long his
tory Of that science, ever represented
so small q minority. ever refused 30
stubbornly to compromise his position
as theorist.
Today Freud seems to have reached
the heights of human popularity. He
is still member of a scant minority
but in a new sense He remains in his
study with his thoughts. He refuses to
be molested. He cares nothing for the
adulation that is now being showered
upon him.
What Of Freud? Can It be that the
rapidly moving spirit OF this age has
begun to catch up with prophet? Are
men and women everywhere beginning
to understand the psychology Of i'm
pulses, drives, dreams and wishes?
What Of Freud? Perhaps he's one
Of those rare secretaries Of nature, who
seem to appear but once in every 500
years. Perhaps he should be named in
a class with three and only three other
great men-Aristotle, Copernicus, OAR
win. Perhaps.

WHY DOES IT. MAKE
MORE SUBS?

Every soft, quick dissolving
grain of Oxydol gives you
more suds for your money.
It's a wonderful soap, with .
mystery Ingredient that gives
you III times as much suds as
ordinary packaged soaps!
It's easy to do so. Sprinkle
half a cupful of Oxydol into
your tub-or a teaspoonful
into your dishpan. Then you'll
see suds that really are suds.
Swish your hands through
them. They feel like silk. Oxydol
suds slide the dirt out in a
way that's nobody's business!
And safe! Why, soap sci-
ence has invented a perfect
soap. You'll be proud of whittier
clothes and brighter colors.
And you'll have the neighbors
talking when you hang out
the washing an hour earlier!

many are turning to the annual
migration to Florida. Many peo-
pie this year did without an Euro

but with signs of betterment in

who know the destinations of the
Floridian West Coast, of which

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla,
Dec. 10.-Unique in it's position
as combined winter and
summer resort. Daytona Beach
stands upon the threshold of
one of the most successful
winter seasons of its 5O-year
history. =.
To date permanent seasonal
residents have arrived in un-
usual numbers, as is shown by
greatly increased attendance at
both public and private schools,
and to these are added many
newcomers. Inspiration for cos
politan residents is also found in
the steady addition of both pala-
tial and less pretentiouS homes,
and by the fact that summer-Sea-
son visitations now supplement
those of the winter months in
demanding increased building
activities. Daytona Beach, in
fact. has been established as a
two-Season resort and year-round
abiding place, as is shown by the
population increase recorded in
the 1880 census.
Winter Sports on Way
With the annual revival of the
International Automobile Speed
Trials on the worlds most famous
beach as the outstanding feature,
the winter season sports program
will be replete with interesting
events. These include golf tourna-
ments on the Daytona Beach,
Seabreeze, Daytona Highlands
and Ormond courses, power and
sail boat races on the Halifax
River, high-class boxing matches
in the National Guard Armory,
baseball games on Burgoyne Island
and city. sectional and State

board and similar tournaments
on the Casino Burgoyne and Pea
body Club courts.
From musical and cultural
standpoints. the endowed Daytona

program. This means that none
