Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE W. SPROWLs.
Claustrophobia.

We all have settled fears and breads.
A rather common one is called claus
trophobia. It's the name for a dislike
OF inclosed places.
No amount of reason is able to re-
move 1t completely. So those who have
it appear to be doomed to the task Of
making peace with haunting, morbid
dread OF being alone in small or narrow
places. AS long as we were frontiers
men this fear was unknown. But today
we must live in apartments; we travel
In Pullmans; we go up and down in
elevators; we use SubWayS; we walk
along streets lined by skyscrapers Mod
ern life, with its necessary contrivances,
has made this old fear more frequent
in its appearance. 1t was one of the
first fears to appear among the soldiers
during the World War Many men
could not stand the trenches.
If by any chance you cannot detect
it in your daily life. it does not follow
that you are free of this fear. Study
your dreams. Now and then it will
crop up in them.
According to those psychologists who
look to the past for their explanation Of
the present, claustrophobia is a relic
of the days when our forbears lived in
caves, where they sought shelter and
safety. But now and then a cave bear
or a cave hyena would come in and
make things interesting for the inhabi-
tantS. And so these psychologists rea-
son that traces Of such experiences were
handed down from generation to gen.

LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

This afternoon ma was still packing
to go and visit Ant Fanny, saying, o
shaw, this trunk strap is coming loose.
o we'll, all it needs is hammer and a

Well now be careful, that's the ferst
essential and the primary principal.
Yes nam, said.
And little while later showed her
my thumb being all blue and funny
looking where the hammer had hit 1t,
me saying, Look, ma, do YOU think you
better put anything on it?
Q my lands what q site, that must
bert like the tortures of the damned,
ma said, and said, G, ma. it does.
Wich it did. like anything, and ma
said, Q why did ever allow you to fix
that strap, that's no werk for child.
Ill never forgive myself, I should of
known better at the time, in fact l did
know better, that's the werst of it.
Well gosh, ma. it amt your fault,
hadent even started the strap yet, I
said
Well then how do you mean, what on
erth? ma said. and I said Well 1 went
down the cellar to get the hammer, and
had a ideer and I started to see how
neer could bang it down to the end of
my thumb without aXually hitting it,
and all Of a sudden I missed my aim
and hit my thumb and this is the result.
And so is this, you crazy senseless
thing, ma said. And she smacked me
rite on the hand including my sore
thumb and fixed the strap herself.

Little Chief Hare and Mrs. Little
Chief were two very busy little people.
Ihey worked hard and steadily, for this
was perfect day for haying and they
were making the most of 1t. From
the rock slide over to the bit of meadow
they ran, cut their little bundles of
grasses and other plants, brought them
back TO the rock slide and spread them
TO dry. Jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun
poured down his warmest rays to dry
the hay properly and so did his part to
help these busy little people.
1t was hard work. for it was quite
distance from where the hay was cut
to where it was spread to dry, and the
little bundles were small, for such small
mouths as these little hay-makers pos
Sessed could carry only small bundles
Ihls meant many, many trips, and
though each took a turn at keeping
watch and so had a chance to rest,
there came time when it seemed to
them that they simply couldn't make
another trip.
My legs ache" declared Little Chief.
Mine, too" replied Mrs Little Chief.
Il don't like to stop now" said Little
Chief, spreading the plants he had just
brought
Neither do l." replied Mrs. Little
Chief, but 1 think we better. The
sensible thing to do is to take a good
rest now. We will be able to work all
the faster and better after it."
You are quite right, my dear, as
usual was Little Chiefs prompt re-
spouse. We were up early this morn
ing and I for one would like a nap
What do you say to going home for a
nap and working hard afterwsrd?"
Mrs. Little Chief carefully inspected
the drying hay The sun is hot" said
she. land it isn't wise to work during
the hottest part of TIE day We've done
good mornings work and a nap will
do both of US good I wish we had
twice as much hay, but We have done
pretty well as it is. Come on"
She led the way and Little Chief fol-
lowed. They disappeared among the
rocks OF their home. 1t was too hours
later when they reappeared. The first
thing they did was to hurry to see how
the hay was drying. Little Chief led
the way. When he came in sight
of the place he stopped abruptly with
a funny little bark.

Diseases Caused by Diet
BY DR.. f. V. McCOLLUM.
School Of Health HOPKINS Unirersity

WITHIN the past 10 years 1t has
been established that et least six
different diseases including ricketts,, pei
lagara. beri-beri and scurvy are caused
by lack Of certain vitamins in the
diet On the other hand. when these
vitamins are restored to the diet, the
sufferer is cured or appreciably i'm
proved 1t has also been found that
tuberculosis, diabetes, ulcer OF the ali
mentary tract, anemias, acidosis, epi-
lepsy and kidney disease can be bene-
fitted by specially planned menus. 1t is
further believed that vitamin deficiency
associated with faulty mineral metabol-
ism is vital factor in tooth decay.
The average adult on an ordinarily
varied diet can now obtain through his
food enough of all the vitamins to sup
ply the minimum vitamin requirement
and avoid serious diseases. Eggs, meat,
green vegetables and salads, fruit and
milk supply the family table with prac-
tically all the vitamins except the sun
shine vitamin D. Although there has
hitherto been no food to provide enough
of this vitamin, ordinary white bread
can now be supplied with vitamin D,
incorporated according to process re-

Vitamin A is a fat vitamin and Is

milk, whole cheese and egg yolk and
also to some extent in vegetables-such
as tomat toes. spinach. carrots, yellow
corn and yellow sweet potatoes. Among
the results of a deficiency of vitamin A

such forehanded creatures unless, we,
! too, take drastic steps for possession.
| In order to prevent the WeevilS from
| getting a start on a pecan grove it is
necessary to wipe out the nearby hick-
DRY trees. When you know that the
Weevil's offspring are already in the
nuts it is best to shake the tree and
destroy all the nuts which fall. This
prevents the youngsters from going into
the ground and completing their growth.
Deep blowing in the orchard will expose
the growing grubs as we'll as those ready
to take their appearance as grown
WeevilS.
Early in the Summer the grown
weevils appear. They go at once to the
immature pecan and hickory nuts. They
drill holes in the nuts and suck out the
juices from the center. In a few days
the nuts shrivel and drop to the ground.
In September the wedding bells ring
for all manageable WeevilS. Later the
young mothers with their drill-like beaks
60 to the nearly hardened shell and
bore through the shuck and shell.
One opening is made with the drill.
It has two tiny sharp teeth at the end.
With her drill she makes several pock-
cts in the kernel and in each one she
places a smooth, clear, capsule-shaped
egg. Her beak is now used to push
the egg into most advantageous place.
Two to six eggs are tucked into each
nut. She is most careful not to intrude
upon the home CT her houSe-hunting
sister.
One week later the little grub matches
| and finds himself surrounded by rich
nut meat. Here the legleSs white baby
remains for one month, waxing fat and
turning yellow. He is also red-headed
or brown headed, supplied with very
! sharp jaws. When grown he cuts an
exit about one eighth of an inch wide
and crawlS down the tree or drops to
the earth. Here he digs a deep hole, if
the soil Is loose. If not, he goes nine
inches into the ground to conn lete his
growth.
For two or three seasons, without
food, he sleeps in his little CELL One
month before it is time for him to ap-
pear he changes into a grown weevil
and then begins to climb to the surface
of the earth.
The grown weevils are dark brown
with pale brown or gray scales. They
have six very awkward legs and a beak
that is almost twice the length of the
mothers boiy. but abcut the same
length as the fathers body. At the end
CT their beak are two small, very sharp
teeth. The grown weevils go at once to
the trees and puncture the nuts before
they have passed the water stage
that is, before the kernel has formed
within the nuts The greatest injury Is
done by the youngsters. who are many
IN number and very greedy In habit.
