when warned to keep still was the first
important lesson Kid Antelope and his
twin sister learned. Somehow Mother
Fleetfoot made them understand this
when they seemed too young to under
stand anything. Excepting when she
fed them. she kept them hidden in the
way described. She didn't stay close to
them. lest an enemy. seeing her. should
thus find the babies. but she was only
a little way off where she could keep
watch over them and could hear the
faintest cry from one of them.
1t was an anxious time, for they were
30 very helpless but there GENE still
more anxious time when they were
strong enough to stand on their long,
slim little legs and begin to follow her
about. 1t was then that they learned
the real value of obedience.
Some day." she would say, you will
be strong enough and fleet enough to
outrun your enemies, and then you can
trust to those slim ligs of yours to
escape, but until then you must learn
to keep perfectly still, with your heads
and necks stretched out fiat on the
ground. if you would escape the keen
eyes of King Eagle or Speedfoot the
Coyote or those two-legged creatures

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
Simulated Emotions.

Can actors actually experience the
emotions they consciously simulate in
order to carry out the requirements OF
the plot and to entertain the audience?
According to the James-Lange
theory, an emotion has no existence
whatever over and above bodily move
ments. For instance, you do not see a
bear, then become afraid, then run
away. But you see a bear, and the
sight OF the bear initiates a host of
bodily refiexes. which, Keeling of in
their proper order, amount to move
ment called running away. And the
running away causes the emotion.
You cannot possibly be afraid unless
you tremble, or your breath becomes
short, or goose flesh" appears. or your
hair stands on end or your eyes pro-
trude from their sockets, or your
tongue cleaves to your palate, or the
salivary glands refuse to operate, etc,
ETC. These bodily movements are felt
and the feeling is called an emotion.
A few actors have said they do ex-
perience the emotions they simulate
The answer in general is that the
actor cannot experience the emotion he
portrays in play.
Shakespeare, the greatest OF al
dramatists wrestled with this question
over three hundred years ago. He left
the question unanswered, at least in
the following passage from Hamlet:
"Is 1t not monstrous that this player
here,
But in a fiction, in a dream of passion
Could force his soul so to his own con.
ceit,
That from her working all his visagt
wann'd,
Tears in his eyes, distraction in (
aspect,
A broken voice, and his whole function
suiting
With forms Of his conceit? And all for
nothing!"

Manageable Daughters.

One mother enlists our sympathy, or
tect her daughter from the soil of labor.
She expresses the opinion that eligible
young men prefer girls who do not
work, and that she would rather make
a few sacrifices at home than cause
her daughter to miss any good matri-
monial chances.
We DO not believe there is a regu-
larly organized market on marriageable
daughters. though some Summer resorts
we have visited Appropriated them,
but we do not believe If there we're any
that working girls would be sold short. "
1t is possible that an idle daughter
has more time to give to social activi-
ties than an employed daughter but 1t
is also true that the former is also
likely to lack some of the desirable
qualities of her working sister.
Any girl in the business world in
daily contact with men soon learns to
appraiSe them accurately and to know
what engenders respect and what en-
courages unwelcome familiarity in the
masculine gender.
She learns to deal in futures" to
borrow a market term. In other words.
she soon recognizes the type that Is
destined to get ahead and the type
that Is sustained chiefly by his own
conversation and conceit.
She learns the value of money where
it is measured most painstakingly. and
she learns as well how to get value re-
ceived for every penny she spends. She
learns there may be more to selecting
husband than a glib tongue, fastidi-
Gus dress or social attainments.
Every day she is selling herself" at
work and she soon learns how to in
terest and attract the man she herself
is interested in. Her tennis game may
suffer meanwhile she may not be up to
the latest gossip. and she may have
difficulty in getting out of bunkers on
the golf course. but otherwise she loses
! little and gains much.

useless doll. They know something of

The Antelope Twins.
One child some people think care;
They wouldn't II they had pail;

The Antelope twins were born on the
prairie in a lonely spot where only scat
tered sage brush afforded any shelter,
and there for the first few days Mother
Antelope. who was Mrs. Fleetfoot. LETT
them only when 1t was necessary TO go
for water. Then she would hurry back
at full speed, lest some harm should
come to her precious babies. She was
very proud of them. as good mother
should be of her babies. and she loved
them more than anything else in all
the Great World.
For two or three days they were quite
helpless. and these we're anxious days
indeed for Mother Fleetfoot She knew
that If an enemy too strong for her to
drive off did appear, their only hope
would be in remaining so we'll hidden
that they would not be found. There
were no spots on their coats, as is al
ways the case with babies of Mrs.
1ightfoot, the Deer, and the graylsh-
brown color of their little coats was so
near the color of the ground on which
they lay that you might have walked
within two or three feet of them with
out seeing them at all unless they
moved.

MEXICAN CLAIMS
COMMISSION ENDS
Convention on Special Items
Expires as $3.50, OOO,O 900
in Cases Still Ponds.

The problem Of what to do about
more than $3.50, 100000 worth of claims
Of its citizens against Mexico faced the
United States Government today as the
special commission considering the
claims arising cut Of 10 years of Mexi-
can revolutionary activity expired last
night.
During its existence the commission
had adiudicated Is claims, all unfavor-
ably to the claimants. These adjudica-
tions disposed of claims aggregating
$1,325. 600. When the term of the COM
mission expired there remained for adj
Indication claims aggregating S408,-
SIS 900. OF these, the American claims
aggregate $258,640. and the balance are
Mexican claims against the United
States.
The convention which expired related
10 special claims only. The convention
relating to general claims expires
August 80. Acting Secretary of State
Castle expressed regret that the special
claims convention should have expired
without an agreement for future COIL
sideration of the revolutionary claims.
He made 1t clear that the State Depart
ment had hopes for satisfactory ar
rangement at a later date.
According to Associated Press dis
patches from Mexico City, neither
American Ambassador Clark nor For
eign Minister Estrada Of Mexico would
comment on the situation, although -
Is known that several conversations on
the subject have taken place between
them.
The commission was established in
1923 to settle claims growing out of the
revolutionary period of 1910-1920. Sew
enteen of the claims passed upon grew
out Of the famous Santa Isabel case
caused by the Pancho Villa movement.
The other claim was the Russell claim
for damages resulting from the Pascual
Orozco revolution.

January BUILDING
INCREASES IN DIXIE
SGT, 900, 900 in is States Is
Highest Mark for Month
With One Exception.

Construction, engineering and build
ing contracts awarded last month in
,the 16 Southern States had total val
uation of more than $67.000,0O0 &C.
cording to figures compiled by the
Manufacturers Record. This total is
the highest for the month of January,
with the exception of January, 1929,
when ST., 80 900 of new contracts were
reported, the Record states.
1.-The increase in construction during
January Is particularly encouraging,
since the awards amounting to $64,-
$4,000 in December, 1880, were the
highest Of any December" the publ
cation states. "Thus, in the past two
months, construction and building con-
tracts have been let in the South with
an aggregate value of more than $780,
OOO, 900"
No attempt was made to estimate the
cost of numerous projects for which no
figures we're available, and residential
and other structures, building repairs
or additions costing under $4,000 were
included in the tabulations, the Record
points out.
In Line With Speed-Up Plan.
January activity was featured by the
award of contracts totaling $32, 900
for road, paving and bridge projects"
the report continues.
This is in line with the plan of the
States and the Federal Government to
speed up such public work to relieve
the unemployment situation, and is
made possible by the appropriation of
increased Federal aid and the voting
and sale of bond issues by several
States.
ALSO, State highway bond issues are
to be considered by a number of the
legislatures now in session. In Texas
plans are being discussed for an issue
of sits, 000,0 900 to 1925, 100000 to A.
nance a 10-year program and to pro-
vide for reimbursing counties for funds
expended on State highway routes. De-
cember awards for road paving and
bridge projects amounted to $780,
100000.
$40, 100000 Work Planned.
Planned and proposed construction
and building operations announced in
the first month of 1891 called for an
expenditure Of more than $40, Zoo, 900.
This total would be vastly increased II
the 1881 budgets announced for various
railroads power companies and utilities
last month had been included. For in
stance, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway will this year expend 3d.
300, 900 and the Norfolk & Western
