Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Psychic Income.

Economists say that we all have a
psychic income, no matter how poor
we may be in other ways. Psychic in
come is flow of Satisfactions." or a
stream Of enjoyments," or desirable
results produced in the realm OF feel
ings" during given period of time.
These economists assume that our
psychic income is variable, that we are
psychologically richer some days, or
some weeks, or some months, than we
are during other similar periods of time
This psychic income is derived from
anything that gives us a feeling Of sat-
isfaction. Some of it might flow from
new suit of clothes, some from the
weather, some from friendships, and so
forth.
Now we cannot at any given time,
say moment, an hour, or a day, say
just what things are involved in our
present psychic income. The way TO
determine the source Of your psychic
income is to study how you feel when
you are deprived first Of one factor,
friendships play the leading role in
your stream of satisfaction, you will
feel poor when you have lost one. You
will know exactly what things are best
for your well-being, If you discover the
ones that make you feel poor when they
are temporarily taken from you.
This new term, psychic income. seems
to be one of the very best that have
come along in recent years. 1t helps
us to take stock of our mental life,
so that every now and then We may
know just what things to strive for to
keep our mental life up to par. And,
of course, this stock-taking win have
its effect on our physical well-being.

SPRINCTIME
BY D. C. PEATTIE.

There are two sorts of gardens in
Spring, those with narcissus in them
and those without 1 use the word
narcisSus in its botanical sense, thus
stretching it to cover the enchanting
tribe of the daffodils, the jonquils and
the narcissi in the more restricted
meaning, wherein they class the paper
white" and the polyanthus clan.
All the great garden flowers have
their maniacal followers. AS between
the rose fans, the iris fiends, the sweet
pea, columbine, chrysanthemum and
lily fanciers, there is little enough to
choose Those of us who cling to the
now almost quaint old custom of fancy
ing" the narcissus family, are select
among the select!
/ think my real reason for loving the
whole fragrant, starry, faithful, color
full lot of them is partly for aSSocia-
tons sake. They bring back the tnno-
cence of Greece in its earliest dawn.
There is something classic about mar
cisSus found in no other genus of plants
under the sun. They represent the
Springtime of human history. Still, in
the Spring, though Greece Is long dead,
and the world is old and weary and
anything but innocent now, they bloom
for us with pagan freshness and de-
hight.
They have an enchanting way, these
flowers, OF bursting out of a papery,
enveloping leaf called a Spathe. For
this reason. they always seem to be
sloughing off Winters old coat, to be
peering eagerly round the corner, to
be forcing open a door, trying to peer
in at you, crowding to look over each
others shoulders, like children coming
to a costume ball.
When they are full blown, the mar
ciSsuS tribe, more than all other flow
ers, seem poised, birdlike, in some airy
flight, as they arch upward and for
ward on their frail, straight stems, with
their petals curved back like wings
ready to fly away. Then, too, they are
built on the plan of six, which Is also
true Of another of natures most ex-
quisite marvels, the snow crystal. OF
all symmetries, the plan of six Is some
how the most satisfying.
Lastly, these are super flowers, for, as
il it were not enough to have even the
sepals (Which in most flowers are the
green outer part of the flower. entirely
modest and unremarked) turned into
petals, the flower is not content with
white or golden sepals and petals; it
adds one more elaboration. the CORONA
or crown or tube at the center. In jon
quils this is only little low ridge, col
ored like the petals; in the poet mar
cissus. it is higher ridge, and is often
brilliantly colored. as in the pheasant's
eye type. But in the daffodils it IS
drawn out into a long. golden trumpet,
more conspicuously even than the sepals
and petals, and often of a different tint
from them.
No other flower has, in addition to
sepals and petals, such a big. third,
petal-like structure, so that the daffodil,
like the passion flower is unique in its
structure, and like the passion flower,
unique in its queenly Splendor.
To all of this add the magical glory
Of the fragrance of these flowers! The
odor of three jonquils in a room Is so
powerful as to make people faint.

So after that Reddy stole over there
every few days to see what was going
on. He knew when the eggs Matched
by the excitement Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitehall. His eyes cleaned and his
mouth watered. After that he spent
much time hidden in the bushes, where
he could watch what went on around

Mrs. Whitehall were kept busy hunting
from daylight to dark. At first one al
ways remained at the nest while the
other was away. But as the young
WhitetailS grew bigger they demanded
more food and father and mother were
forced to leave them alone at times,
while both hunted. However, Reddy no
ticed that one or the other never was
far away. One hunted near home while
the other hunted far away across the

Household Methods
By BETSY CALLIsTER.

Can you give me directions for max
ing dressing for white shoes from
powdered white chalk?-A. B. w"
There is a homemade white shoe
dressing made from one and one-hali
ounces of gum arabic dissolved in forty
ounces of water, one ounce Of vinegar
and twenty ounces of powdered white
chalk. You will have to use graded
measuring glass to get the right
amounts. Merely mix the ingredients
and shake well before using. 1t is
applied with brush or sponge. There
are so many inexpensive white shoe
dressings that can be bought at rea-
Sonable price that it seems better to
use them than to go to the trouble
of making this.
els there any way to take out
perSpiration stains from a dress?-
Jane"
Fresh perspiration stains may be
taken out by washing the material in
solution of one part ammonia to
twenty parts water. II the stains have
stood for some time use twenty parts
water to one part oxalic acid. If your
druggist will not sell the pure oXalic
acid he will probably be willing to sell
you the acid and water solution. These
methods apply only to washable mate
rails. Otherwise there is no way OF
removing the stain.
Can you give me recipe for making
potato griddle cakes from grated raw
potatoes PM. c."
Mix two and one-half cups grated
raw potatoes with two slightly beaten
eggs and add eight tableSpoonfuls of
flour that has been sifted with half

baking powder. Add just enough milk
to make a batter of desired thickness
and fry until brown on both sides on

Watson has this explanation why he
doesn't move down opposite Robinson:
"Old Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,
once sat here. The sergeant-at-armS
approached him once with the request
that he be permitted to make certain
alterations In the desk. The old Sena-
tor said no. giving as his reason: What
was good enough for Daniel Webster is
good enough for me- feel much the
same way"
incidentally there's another desk in
the chamber whose occupant says he'll
never surrender 1t as long as he is a
Senator. The Senator is Pat Harrison,
and his desk Is the one where sat JEFF
ferson Davis when he was member
Of the Senate.
Proud of his attendance record in the
Senate is the handsome, soft-voiced
Sheppard Of Texas. To miss session
of the Senate, roll call or a quorum
is something he never does II 1t Is hui
manly possible to get there.
He keeps books on his attendance At
the end Of each day in Congress Shop
pard returns to his office, pulls down
his ledger and records his activities DUR
ing the day. At the close of the Sew
enty-flrst congress he found with pride
that he had served total of $3.50 days
in the Senate and had been absent
only 13, an average absence of less than
one day year; that most of this time
away from the Senate was because in
1880 he was member of the Senate
committee appointed to attend the flu
neral Of a fellow member of Congress;
that prior to this funeral he had been
continuously present at all sessions of
| the Senate for more than seven years.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Undoubtedly there are few problems
related TO the care and feeding OF nor
NAL children which have not been COW
cred time and again in this department.
But 1t is undoubtedly as true that un-
til problem is Of personal interest to
the reader its solution does not register
with her.
When Mrs. E. K. S. writes "I have
been reading your column for long
time, but do not recall ever having
seen any articles dealing with my prob
lemS," what she really means Is that
until these problems became hers to
solve she was not sufficiently interested
in the answers to remember them.
Mrs. E. K. S. asks the following ques-
lions:
How many months should the baby's
back be rubbed with oil?
"At what age is 1t safe to give cool
drinks? I always warm his drinking
water, and also the water I put with
fruit juices.
when can sugar in the formula be
stopped?
How can baby be taught or en-
couraged to creep?
Our boy will be 9 months old April
1. Is he too old to have collie? Here
is his program: 7 am, bottle; 10 am,
orange juice; II m. farina; pm,
bottle; $50, junket; pm, bottle"
Rubbing babys back with oil Is a
nice but not compulsory habit. 1t may
be stopped at any time.
BY all means give sonny both cool
water to drink and cool water in his
| fruit juices. Warm water is actually
nauseating, copious doses of warm water
being given to induce vomiting.
Sugar is taken out of the formula as
soon as baby is old enough and weighs
enough go pounds, SO that whole milk
is in order. This happens usually at
| year of age. Beginning at the tenth
/ month, the sugar may be decreased in
amount.
All the encouragement a baby needs
to learn to creep is the opportunity to
do so. Put the baby on the floor.
A child of any age may have collie
II improperly fed, but as your present
diet is open to criticism because of its
limitedness, perhaps baby's actions are
due to hunger. would suggest that in
addition to a bottle at o'clock cereal
! be given then; at 10. orange juice; at
r., vegetables and bottle; at $50, ce-
real and bottle; at $50, bottle.
This increases the diet considerably
and is the usual order when baby is al
this age. You failed to tell me baby'S
weight, so cannot suggest any changes
that might be in order in the bottle
formula.

Knows When He Has Enough.
Enough is all you ever need
And wanting more betokens greed.
Old Mother Nature.

Having discovered where the nest Of
Whitehall the Marsh Hawk was, Reddy
Fox was satisfied for the present. He
hadn't actually seen that nest, for the
bushes growing around 1t hid 1t from
any one not looking down on it, but q
telltale feather that had fallen from
the tail of Mrs. Whitehall enabled Reddy
to guess exactly where that nest was.
He knew every inch Of that little dry
mound Just a little way in from the
lower side of the Old Pasture.
Mrs Whitehall dropped that feather,
for now I think of it I noticed q gap
in her tail when she turned in the air"
thought Reddy.
That feather wasn't white. 1t was

The long feathers Of the tail Of a
Marsh Hawk are not white, but the
short feathers that cover the base Of
the tail are pure white, making white
spot easily seen for some distance. So
his neighbors call Mr.. Marsh Hawk
Whitehall Mrs. Whitehall is brown,
while Whitehall himself is blush gray,
and he is smaller than his mate.

cries when food was brought he guessed
that there we're several.
At last one morning Whitehall and
Mrs. Whitehall left the nest together

Reddy.
He slipped out from his hiding place,
leaped lightly across the wet, open space
to the dry mound where the nest was,
and swiftly crept through the bushes.
There was the nest and there were the
young Whitetails, quite filling it. their
first feathers showing through the

"One, two, three, four, FIVE" counted
Reddy gloatingly, and wished that Mrs.

he would be knocked over again. Once
he caught a wing in his teeth and held
on despite the cruel blows from that
hooked beak. 1t was then that with a
hiss OF wings Whitehall arrived and

was enough. All Reddy wanted now
