SzVijf'S Remarkable TruUeb

county was in the question always provoked
another: "Tryin' to git away from the sheriff,
mister?'"
For natural scenery, Southern Utah and
Northern Arizona, taken as a whole, are most
beautiful, Swift declares. Three complete visits
to Yellowstone National Park have only tended
to whet his appetite for this showplace of ma
tlre. He believes it exceeds anything in North
America.
THE auto and excellent highways have done
much to do away with provincialism, Swift
believes.
with 50 many tourists now taking to the
highways people are beginning to learn that
their far-away neighbors in Portland Me-
aren't so different from those in Portland,
Ore.," he says. During the Summer months
each night finds thousands Of tourists in auto
camps all over the country visiting, exchang-
ing ideas, traditions and customs"
Travellers may come and travellers may go,
but the more they come the more discourteous
they become, Swift says.
"It used to be that motorists would help
each other" he muses.. Now it seems to be
Excuse my dust and on they go. 1t is the
hurry and the attempt to make too long a trip
in too short time that cause many people to
lose all the pleasure of travelling
"In all of my travels by auto I seldom
average more than $50 miles day. It is the
motorist taking his time and, incidentally, the
one taking in all the sights, who remembers
something more out of his trip than where he
had a fat tire or stopped for gas"
The careful driver never need to worry about
trafhc laws in any of the 48 States, Swift
declares. AS he entered a new State he always
endeavored to find out about the laws. "'I
never encountered traffic officer who told me
how fast should go. They always pointed out
that carefulneSs was the main object"
Looking for new fields to conquer, Swift de-
clareS that he still hasn't any desire to visit
Europe. Alaska holds a charm for him, but
he'll never visit it until connecting auto road
is built. Romantic old Mexico will probably see
lightweight auto, bearing an Oregon license,
visiting there before long
Many Of Swifts trips have been made In
company with his wife. While she has not
visited every county, she has Travelled In every
State and q great part Of Canada and she Is
as enthusiastic = traveller as he is.

to the Raman spectra with the expectation Of
finding simple numerical relationships between

DR ANDREWS makes no claim that he has

not be placed, for instance, on the fact that
the chords of benzine and alcohol have some
well known harmonic groupings among their
notes. 1t Is, he admits, possible that simple

the experimental results do not as yet permit
him to draw such a far-reaching conclusion.
It remains an attractive possibility with per-
hapS a little support from theory. It would
indeed be reasSuring to find that common sub
stances of acquaintanceship gave, on the
whole a good account of themselves constantly
emitting pleasing combination of rsdiations.
Such regularity is not necessary, might at
first be supposed, to the Importance of DR..
Andrews work. All combinations Of notes,
whether simply related or not, have a musical
meaning. especially in modern music where any
sort Of cacophony seems to be encouraged.
The important thing is that new method
has been brought into play in chemistry, throw
ing different kind of light on the experimental
facts. We can now perceive the fundamental
relations by another sense.
This Is however, dangerous ground we are
on. Scientists have always believed that they
cannot reach the truth unless they can keep
their emotions from interfering with their work.
Yet music appeals almost entirely to emotion.

A LGtU Week.
What occurs If declarer leads from his own
hand when it is really dummy's turn, but be-
fore attention Is called to the mistake the
player at declarers right plays to the trick?
When declarer has led out Of turn from either
his own hand or dummy. the lead stands the
same as correct, unless an adversary calls
attention to the error before he or his partner
nlayS. In this case, since the adversary on the
right has played before such attention has
been called the declarer's improper lead is
legalized. Such being true, the right-hand ad-
versary has played out Of turn, for after the
lead by declarer it was his partners turn to
play Hence the penalty exacted is against the
Adyersaries for a play by the fourth hand be-
fore the second hand has played. Declarer may
require the other adversary to play his highest
or lowest card Of the suit led or to win or
lose the trick. If that player has none Of the
suit led. declarer may call his highest OF any
designated suit; If he has none of the suit
called, the penalty is paid.
Why should a dummy wait untn after the
opening lead before tabling any Of his cards
instead of prematurely throwing his trumps on
the table many do?

Everyday Psychology

Completes.

WIN PASOSS'
According to psychoanalysis, each per-
son has his mental completes. Take
these completes all together, and you
have what is known as personality or
character.
Some completes are so apparent you
can recognize them Immediately. For
instance, you can tell from a strangers
conversation what his profession, politics
or religion is. School teachers, ministers
and travelling statesmen seem to be
unable to conceal their identities as
such. They possess complex OF attl-
tudes, expressions and even bodily habits
that betrays the entire trend OF their
visible personalities. The completes
that make up the visible personality are
really nothing other than the habits
that the person in question has acquired.
But the visible completes are, after
all, the smallest part Of any individual.
Beneath the visible part lies hidden
from ordinary observation a vastly more
important group of completes. These
completes are so we'll concealed that the
individual is really not very we'll aware
that they constitute the essence of his
real self. In fact, If you point them out
to him, he is pretty likely to disagree
with you. No one really wants to see
himself as others see him.
These two systems Of completes exist
in every individual. There is no escape
from them. When you refer to a
persons personality, you refer to what's
on the surface, and to what he is con-
tent to display. When you refer to
character, you have in mind a system
Of completes which you know only after
having been acquainted with the indy
idual over long period of time.

Twitchtails Have an Adventure.
Adventure doth as sure as fate
Around the corner lie in 1Ddit.
Old Mother Nature.

One never knows when one may meet
with adventure. Sometimes we seel. it,
but more often 1t comes suddenly at
the most unexpected times and in the
most unexpected places. So il Is that
WatchfulneSS Is necessary at all times,
even when there seems no need for it.
TWitchtail and Mrs. Twitchtail had
LETT their old home on the edge OF the
wheat field to seek new home where
there would be nothing to remind them
Of the dreadful thing that had happened
to their friends and neighbors, and
where those two-legged creatures called
men would not be likely to try to do
them harm. Mrs. Twitchtail led the
way and Twitchtail meekly followed.
They turned their backs on the wheat
field, the orchard and the wooded hill
side they had known all their lives.
Twitchtan grunbled from time TO
time, but Mrs. Twitchtail paid no atten-
ton to him and he followed on, for he
had no intention Of losing her as well
as his home That first night they
spent In pile Of rocks where they felt
quite safe. Early the next morning
Mrs. Twitchtau started on again, stop
ping only long enough to get breakfast
along the way. OF course, TWitchtail
followed. He didn't like that journey.
He didn't think 1t necessary to 60 so
far. But he did know that once Mrs.
Twitchtail had made up her mind there
was no use in trying to change it. In
other words, Mrs. Twitchtail would have
her way and he might as well yield
first as last.
Haven't we gone far enough, my
dear?" he would ask plaintively.
To this Mrs. TWitchtail would make
no reply. She would merely giveAher
big tail jerk. 1t was very expressive
jerk Twitchtail understood exactly
what it meant. Thereafter he would
meekly follow for while without say
pearance Of Mrs. TWitchtails back that
it was OF no use to argue or protest.
After while they came 10 country
that was wholly new to them. They
didn't travel SO fast then, for Mrs.
Twitchtail was watching for a good
place for a new home. Several times
she spent much time looking places
over, but none suited her. This one
was too exposed. That one was too far
from a food supply. Another had no
outlook. And SO it went. One place
seemed perfect to TWitchtail, but Mrs.
Twitchtail promptly said it wouldn't
do at all.
There are no neighbors of our own
kind and I won't live without good
neighbors," she declared. There is
something wrong with this place or
there would be Squirrels living here"
Il suppose you are right" replied
Twitchtal, though 1t looks all right to
me. Aren't you borrowing trouble, my
dear? People without home shouldn't
be too fussy."

which Is far more usual-with copies

the world why, If you can afford it, you
couldn't have portraits Of your family
on a lampshade. Think Of what q
charming shade you could have with
portraits Of, say, your three children
painted on parchment!
Another idea IS to have silhouettes
cut of your children and to have these
pasted on parchment shade for your
boudoir or bed room. You could make
such a shade for a very reasonable
price. Just have the sihouettes cut at
one Of the places where they do that
sore Of thing and then yourself paste
them on the parchment shade.
