ed home sick. 1t was a bad time TO be
sick because it happened that day that
the Office was moved to a new build
ing At 10 o'clock the girls arrived
to find the place in wild confusion.
People sat about in their hats and
coats. Some sat on tops of desks,
spreading newspapers to keep the dust
from their clothes. They didn't know
whether to go home or stay. One girl
had set her typewriter on a mass Of
packing boxes, and. standing up was
pounding out letter as though her
life itself was depending on it. But
most Of them tossed and turned and
wandered about waiting for some one
to tell them what to do.
Our girl Edith had always loved to
dust and clean. She was an ardent
housekeeper. So she found this disor-
der in the Office unbearable. She
started to pull around chairs and small.
things, and finally tried to push
desk about. One of the men. laughing

in the important Paris dressmaking

otherwise manipulated to make the
most ingenious sort of trimmings.

New lamp shades do much to give
room a new look, but for complete
transformation there is nothing like a
set of new hangings. These may be
made at home if care is exercised in
every step from measuring to hanging.
A group of women took course in
window curtaining and learned things
like this:
A glass curtain hangs from a rod
fastened to the frame of the window.
The curtains should come to the sill

certain. You can't rely much on faces,
eyes, ears, Jaws, or the shape of the
head or body. And as for horoscopes,
they mean absolutely nothing at all.
Repeated behavior is the only reliable
guide to personality, which has rightly
been called the riddle of the universe.
AS to the third question, there is
no answer. Hundreds have tried 1t.
If you merely glance at list Of types
that have been proposed, you find a
list of names only Names don't mean
much when it comes to studying human
beings. No matter what name you give
to what you call type, you still know
nothing of the private notions which
make persons over into personalities.

Personalities.

What is a personality anyway? And
how do you tell one kind from another?
How many kinds are there?
If you can answer these questions
Systematically and accurately, you may
call yourself an expert, everyday student
Of human nature.
Just to help some OF you make a
start on this most interesting of natural
wonders. I will answer the first question
as follows: A personality Is a person
who acts the same way so often that
you may predict how he will act the
next time he goes into action.
Now for the second question The
definition means that you can never
know what sort of personality one has
until you have had the opportunity to
study this person under a variety Of sit
uations. The more, the better. Snap
judgments are generally unreliable; if
correct, only by accident. One thing is

My Neighbor Says:

To clean brass, use plain am
mCnia, being careful not to have
the cloth wet enough to dampen
the surrounding wood.
To soften putty. break it into
Jumps about the size u a hens
egg. Put the pieces into an iron
vessel or kettle with a small
quantity of linseed oil (about a
tablespoonful for each quart of
putty. Add water enough to
cover the putty entirely and boil
the mixture 10 minutes, giving 1t
one good stirring while hot. Let
cool, pour off water and 1t will
be like fresh putty.
When poison has been acct
dentally swallowed, no emetic is
better than mustard. Mix three
teaspoonfuls with cup of warm
water and swallow. At once the
stimulative action upon the stom-
ach causes that organ to reject
all its contents, the poisonous
ingredients with the rest. It Is
one of the quickest of all emetics
and the most harmless.
Save small pieces of soap to
make into jelly. A teacupful Of
small pieces makes about a pint

The reason for this caution Is that

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page II

or after the Christmas holidays when
the national committees of the two
groups meet for this purpose. A num-
Der of factors govern the selection
of convention city, not the least of
which is political geography. Indeed.
the psychological feature of con-
vention meeting in certain state is
ordinarily stressed at sessions of the
national committees. Each state asks
its two representatives to remember
their home state, but these committee
members are expected to think in
terms of party welfare, not sectional
favoritiSm.
Reports coming to Washington indi-
cate that Senator Borah, one of the
stormy petrels of the Republican side
in the Senate, is arming for long
siege on international affairs. His
secretary and others in his confidence
have been in Russia for sometime and
are gathering data in other European
countries. This is Interpreted here
as a move on Borah'S part to equip
himself with information not avail
able to others. 1t will be recalled
that a letter from the Idaho legisla-
tor to the Russian Soviet officials is
far more effective than a passport
from the proper authorities. The
answer is obvious, as Borah has been
the lone champion of Russian recog-
milton for years and the Soviet is
grateful to their unofficial spokes-
man. So many Legislators have been
touring the world that chances are
that gag will be necessary to keep
their attention on domestic problems
when Congress convenes. They all
want to tell the people via the Con-
gressional Record of their travels and
impressions"
The failure of the Department of
Justice to approve powerful demands
for a Presidential decree or embargo
on oil importations may precipltate
more trouble for the Administration.
Whether their protests against the
activities of the Federal Farm Board
are well-founded or not, it is assured
that the wheat marketing problem
will share the spotlight with oil.
These two products of the midwest
and southwest states are bound to
figure prominently in legislation and
politics. Naturally, the citizens in
these localities are more absorbed in
the subjects close to their pocket
books. The stereotyped arguments
about American isolation and foreign
entanglements will not weigh heavily
with them.
