Choice napery and fine furniture are

utter disregard Of other peoples prop

have. They WIN lay lighted cigarette

Many a choice tablecloth has been
so burned that even expert members
refuse to guarantee restoring the cloth
to its original state: One such case
comes to mind. The hostess during
her recent travels abroad procured a
costly tablecloth commanding hlgn

the damask, but let the cigarette rest
where she carelessly put 1t until 1t

lined the linen inset.
In this way an appearance OF 1nten-

: Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE ". sPRowLs.
Normality of Abnormality.

Psychology has stumbled upon some
seemingly queer principles during the
last two or three decades.
For example, no competent psycholo-
gist today would deny the proposition
that every normal mind has its abb
noTmalities. Things that are regarded
as distinct abnormalties may appear in
restrained forms in the sanest Of minds.
OF all the So-caIled mental abnormal
ties hysteria is the one most commonly
found In normal minds.
One authority claims that the hui
man race Is historical by nature. AT
any rate all primitive races are hys-
terical Also, there is hardly a child
that fails to show 1t at some time, and
almost any adult will become historical
under stress.
Now If you ask what hysteria is you
find no definition. You can't say that
it is a disease exactly. Too many peo-
pie have 1t. It's a name for the way
people act when they are going through
the process of becoming civilized.
You may look at the abnormalities of
normality another way. Civilization is
equivalent TO growing becoming an
adult. Some people grow UP and re-
turn in one way or another to some
childish trait.
So we have two principles that ex-
plain the normality OF abnormality
Becoming civilized Is one. Becoming
uncivilized Is another.

gnoW~covered Green Meadows on the
chance that Meadow Mouse might be
out and about on such q fine niaht.
Presently his sharp eyes discovered
something moving in q queer way, some
thing dark. On soundleSs wings he
headed that way. Then he lost interest,
for he recognized Billy Mink. Billy and
Shadow had separated for moment.
Spooky didn't see Shadow at first be-
cause Of the latter's white coat, but he
knew better than to try to catch Billy
Mink. His big cousin, Hooty the Great
Horned owl, might be able to kill Billy
Mink, but he couldn't, and he knew IT,
Then he Spied Shadow and once more
became interested.
"Thpse fellows are fighting. I wonder
what 1t Is all about" thought he, and
began TO look around. Then he saw the
Mouse. 80 that's it," he chuckled
That Is what they are fighting for.
Well, If there isn't any Mouse there will
be nothing to fight for. I'll Just take
It myself. I don't believe in fighting,
but if people will fight, 1t sometimes
pays to be around"
He swooped down, picked up the
Mouse and few back to the Old
Orchard, Meanwhile, Billy Mink and
Shadow were becoming tired, especially
Shadow, who Is so much smaller. At
last he leaped away, turned and Kissed
at Billy Mink and went of without
hurry1ng. Billy snarled threat or two
and then turned to get that Mouse.
It wasn't TO be found. He found the
place where it had been. The snow still
held the scent of it, but there was Moth

A quarrel very seldom pays. Have you
found this out? Billy Mink found 1t
put. So did Shadow the Weasel. They
were uuarreling over a Mouse Billv
Mink had been chasing it and just as
he was going to spring on it Shadow
the Weasel, whom Billy had not seen,
had pounced on it.
"That is my Mcusel" snarIed Billy.
"No such thing; it is my Mousel" re-
torted Shadow.
Now, Of course, Shadow was right.
1t was his Mouse because he had caught
it. Furthermore, be meant to keep it.
He is much smaller than his cousin,
Billy Mink, but there isn't q cowardly
hair in that white coat Of Shadows.
No, sir, there isn't one cowardly hair.
He arched his back and srarled and
his little eyes grew red with rage, and
he kept his front feet on that Mouse
''I'll, show you whose Mouse 1t isl"
snarled Billy Mink and sprang at
Shadow.
Now, few people are as quick as Billy
Mink, but Shadow the Weasel is one of
those few. He leaped to one side, spit
ting and snarling. OF course, he let go
of the Mouse when he did this. Billy
Mink might have seized it then and
Shadow couldn't have taken it from
him. But Billy did nothing of the kind.
He had lost his temper completely. He
was filed with rage. He meant to drive
Shadow off the Green Meadows.

Kissed. 'I1l teach you that you can't

she put the slice of bread buttered on

was now spread with cream cheese

it was decorated with slices Of stuffed

Former Major League Stars
Lead Class "A League in
Batting Averages

Chicago, May 7.-N1T1f w%alloping
American association pitching all
over the premises will help, a number
of former major leaguers have a good
chance to get back into the big show.
One of the leading batsmen of the
Thomas jefferson Hickey circuit is
Tommy Engley, now catching for
Louisville. who did time with the
Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs.
Angley has been betting the ball at
a .400-odd clip, and appears to be
getting over the weakness that kept
him frc-1 hanging on In the big
leagues.
Norman Mcmillan of the Kansas
City Blues, who was let out by the
Chicago Cubs because of weakness
with the bat, has been well over the
400 mark most of the young season,
and has fielded well. Pat Crawford,
once of the New York Giants and
Cincinnati Reds, is doing a term with
the Columbus Red Birds, and has
been a big help in keeping the re-
organized club in the first division.
CraWford's batting efforts since the
beginning of the campaign have pro-
duced an average of better than 400.
Infielder Montague of Indianapolis,
formerly worked for the Cleveland
Indians. He has batted for better
than 800, along with Clyde Manion,
former Detroit and st. Louis Brown
catcher, who Is with Milwaukee, and
Harry Riconda, o of Minneapolis,
who was with a number Of major
league clubs.
Among the pitchers, Bryan slim"
Harriss, former Philadelphia Athletic
and Boston Red Sox hurler, has been
going at a great clip with st. Paul.
Kent Greenfield, n of the Phillies
and Giants, has won a pair since
joining Louisville and has not been
defeated, while Sergeant George Con-
nally, the rubber-arm of the White
Sox staff a few seasons ago, has
pitched some fine games for Toledo.
Business was bad Wednesday. The
weather took another crack at the

of the four games. The only contest
resulted in a 9 to 3 victory for Kansas

Former Star OutfieIder Believes

Chicago, May 7.-P)-The new
style baseball is just about the same
in the air, but it's slower on the
ground, Iris Speaker believes.
The former Cleveland, Boston and
Athletic %outfielder, ranked with the
greatest of all time, is a radio an

conclusion that if you get a full swipe
at it, the ball travels as far in the
air as it ever did. Maybe it's the
raised seams, but the new ball seems
to slow down more quickly, once it
hits the ground.

on balls they couldn't have touched,
or If they did, they couldn't have
handled"

Jackson, Speaker insists, was the
greatest natural batter he yer saw,

season mark that the boys could only

Prison Nine Hard at Work De-

for Sunday Fray

When the Grove Giants clash with
the Wilton baseball crew, on the pen-
itentiary diamond Sunday the prison
team may have a new battery, ac-
cording to Clarence E. Orion, man
ager.
Orion is not certain as to whom he
will use on the mound. He may
start Beaudry, veteran backstop, as
catcher. Glenn, who has done fine
hurting in the Giants two previous
starts, undoubtedly will play in an
outfield position if he enters the
game.
The prison nine is developing their
batting strength as well as increasing
the efficiency of their infield and
outfield. In games to date the
Giants outfield has proved to be a
murderer's row for all opposing
pitchers. !.
