Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Color Preference.

individuals seem to differ enormously
in their color preferences. Psycholo-
gists have not given us very good rea-
sons why they should. They merely
make some vague remarks about early
experiences, implying that these early
experiences are in some way asso-
ciated with visual memories. Nothing
very Illuminating about that!
The interesting feature OF the psy-
claology of color is that which per-
tains to race. Different races, on the
whole, prefer different colors. The
white race goes in for blue as the first
choice. Green is the second choice
Red is close third.
The colored race prefers blue. but
not SO emphatically as the whites
Orange comes second Violet and
green are about tied for third choice
American Indians prefer red. Violet
is second choice. Blue is third. Jap
anese prefer red, with blue as close
second.
Filipinos prefer red, green, violet and
blue in the order named.
What's the reason for these prefer
ences? The answer is natural in
huences," the most important of which
is tradition.

Ruffles in Home Dressmaking
BY MARY MARSHALL.

eide to make a dress now and then, i
Is because you really like 70 40 u, OF
because YOU want to work out some
original idea In combination OF ma
terial or color, or because you feel that
by making a dress or two you can have
more of them.
The fact is that interest in home
dressmaking is definitely on the in
crease and recent developments Of
fashion have made it especially attrac
tive. Dresses are more elaborate with
more of the so called dressmaker
touches that can be developed by any
painstaking home dressmaker. There
are new wool crepe dresses with drawn
work yokes, there are bands of hand
done embroidery in Persian coloring,
there are rufies, frills and founces to
tempt the ingenuity Of the home dress
maker
The sketch today shows a charming
dress on which ruffies, those beloved
favorites of the home dressmaker are
most fetchingly used. Ruff1es are al
ways an easy finish. The material can
be picot edged or neatly hemmed, and
then carefully gathered or shirred into
place with a minimum Of effort for
maximum of effect. The dress in the
sketch uses ruffies for the tiny sleeves
in a most amusing way that anybody
might copy.

ELECTRIC FEELERS
LOCATE BEDROCK
100 FEET IN EARTH

New York, Feb. Is (AP)
Electrical exploration is
the latest scientific aid of
tunnel making and dam
building.
Simply by laying a few
wires on the surface, cleo
trical exploration locates
bedrock as much as 100 feet
below. Recent practical re-
suits of this exploration were
described to the American
Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers to-
day by E. G. Leonardon of
New York.
The electrical feeler cur
rent substitutes for the usual
exploring drill. Instead of
bringing up samples of the
substances it penetrates, the
current sends back messages
telling how much resistance
it encounters. From this the
engineers can tell what kind
of a layer of earth or rock
makes the resistance.
Compact rock sends a
message of high resistance.
Soft rocks are good conduc-
tors, with low resistance.
Sand is often puzzling, a
snare as always.
Mr.. Leonardon said al
though the electrical feeler
cannot solve all formations,
it has locatd accurately bed
rock at rs feet under the st.
Lawrence river near Morris
burg, Ont, and Ogden Island
N. Y, it mapped accurately
a 13,200-foot tunnel at
Bridge river in British Col
umbia for the Pacific Great
Eastern Railway. Near Mas
son, Que, it located the un-
derground rock for an aque-
duct.

Highway Travel

Generally speaking, for
transcontinental routes the
Lincoln highway and the Ma
tional Old Trails road have
the most traffic. The latter
probably has the greatest,
as it is more or less of an all
the-year-round highway, and
can be travelled almost any
time of the year successful
ly.
