Kaplan.
He recently brought a complaint
against the Washington Square extern
sion of New York University charging
the university with emitting such dense
clouds of smoke that it was impossible
for his dog to take his usual outing on
the roof without changing color. His
white dog turned coal black every
time is was taken out, says Mr. Kaplan.
He understands that dogs get dirty,
yes, but questions the need of dog
turning from white to black in five
minutes.

would have bought black dog" he
says bitterly.
WHY PAY MORE?

candy and refreshments at cut-rate

Mrs Yap Yap took no notice of this.

inquired.

that. You know how stories grow. I
also heard that mother and four chill

enough"
Neither story is right" spoke up
Stubtail, who had come up Just in time
to hear what was said. There were
four half-grown and rather needless
youngsters, three from one family and
one from another. The latter had run
into the house with the others when
the first alarm was given. I've been
over there and have the story straight.

to stay there now, because If they should
have another family they never would
feel easy"
II would feel the same way" declared
Mrs. Yap Yap. "I never would want to
see the house again."
Late that afternoon curiosity led Yap
Yap to visit that house. He found it

Brittle Fingernails.

Excessively brittle nngernails are
usually an indication that one Is not
UP to par physically. Perhaps the body
is not getting the right kind Of foods.
In many cases there is = lack of lime
in the body. This can usually be rem
edied by adding more milk to the diet.
Among other common causes of brittle
nails are the use Of harsh soaps or care
less methods Of manicure.
One very simple method for strength
ening and toughenin4 brittle nails Is to
rub vaseline over tie flngertips every
night, letting 1t remain on overnight.
Many Of my readers who use a type
writer a great deal complain especially
of broken fngernails. While it may be
more difficult for a typist to keep her
nails well groomed, it should be quite
possible when the nails are in a healthy
condition and are not too long. Using
rubber pads on the keys Of the type
writer Is also helpful.
In addition to using the vaseline on
the nails at night, the following nail
oil will be beneficial: Melt three drams
(avoirdupois) Of white wax In ten
drams of olive oil. Remove from the
fire and gradually stir in one dram of
salt, one dram of powdered resin and
one dram Of powdered alum. When the
mixture Is cool, add little perfume
Soak the nails In this oil for at least
10 minutes every day for two weeks.
BY the end of this period the nails
should be so improved that they may be
kept in good condition by weekly use
of the oil.
During the two weeks that one Is CIV

Everyday Psychology
Defense Mechanisms.
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. srRowLs.

The expression defense mechanism
has gained in late years a prominent
place in everyday talk about human
behavior. 1t ranks in popularity with
the terms complex" repression" and
a score of other words which came to
us through psychoanalysis. Nearly all
of these additions to the lexicons of
popular psychology are misunderstood.
Defense mechanisms are by no means
Unborn mechanisms, as many would
have US believe. They are habits, ways
of dodging responsibilities. There is
no limit to the number of defense
mechanisms you may acquire.
You began to acquire your stock Of
defense mechanisms early in life, Just
as soon as some one began to disci-
pline your behavior. Defense mecha-
nisms are constructed out Of pain and
fear. The paddle and the ghost story
were in all probability the materials
out of which you fashioned your earli-
est defense mechanisms. Concerning
the former. you probably said, "It
didn't hurt"
Anything that creates a tension in
your nerves. anything that blocks your
personal ways of conducting yourself
or the expression OF your ideas, calls
for an excuse-a defense mechanism.
The main point to be considered is
the fact that you are always trying to
conserve your own estimation of your
self. This means that you are con-
tinually building up a system of ego
preserVers. You try these various self
preservers out, and settle down to using
the ones that give the best results.
They become personal habits, your
own perculiar defense mechaniSms.

OUR FIRST PAPER MAKERS.

TINE first paper makers were lady
wasps. They understood damp
proofing and ventilation, too.
When the family outgrew its
home the clever builders merely
removed the inside layers or walls Of
paper and built a new wall on the out
side. This method of building with
air pockets between the layers insured
correct temperature within.
The house is a silvery gray and some
times very large. When the cradles
are to be used more than once, they
are carefully cleaned of all debris left
by the former occupant and made
ready for a new baby wasp. The home
is strongly built and the material is
something like papier -mache.
Mother wasp selects building site

were, house hunting. for, unlike any
other members of the Owl family, the
branch to which they belonged prefers
to live in the ground. They are what
are known as Burrowing Owls, and
have no interest whatever in trees.
Back and forth they sailed over the
sleeping town, and, although 1t was
dusk, they could see perfectly. At last
they came to the deserted home and
alighted on it. They knew at once that
it was deserted. Already the earth
