WASHINGTON, June 7.-Unkind were the elements cn the day Her bert Hoover assumed the Presi- dsncy-elements perhaps that au- gered the economic storm he later would have to brave.
 Gloomy clouds cast a cold and drizzling rain on the heads of the throng assembled to see. him inau- gurated. But the gloom wasn't re- flected in the new occupant of the White House, for his verdict of the past and his hopes for the fu- ture were expressed aptly in one sentence:
 In the large view we have reached a higher degree of com- fort an security than ever exist ed before in the history of the world"
 It remained now, he believed, only to perfect a few weak links to insure a continuance of that postwar prosperity, There were three problems immediately to be solved
 The first was to combat the widespread disregard and diso0- edience for law" The second was a limited revision of the tariff, and the third, farm relief legis- lation

which the 3 to 5 greenish-blue eggs,
slightly darker than the robins, are laid.

down for a rest on a fallen tree. The

your plant. When family cares arrive,
he is far from the haunts Of man, in
the woods where he feels safe.
Veeries sing at night. Some say the

being liked by some one you meet by

upon rather ancient psychological foun-
dations, And what is that philosophy?
The best name l have found is the
rather popular philosophy called the "as
if" philosophy.
The big idea is that human beings
spend most of their time wishing-day-
dreaming and night-dreaming. You
never saw human being who wasn't
trying to change his real world over
into a fanciful world. He ponders little
over the "as is" but imagines long over
the "as IT," In short, your human be-
ing acts on what he wishes rather than
what he knows.
Human beings act "as if" they are
more important than they are; "as if"
they were some sort of special creation
in all this universe of miracles; las if"
IL jurors will find justice; "as if' there
were such a thing as "inalienable
rights; "as if" kings and other rulers
we're really wise; "as if" death can
somehow, somewhere, some time, be con-
quered.
Start an argument on anything. You
will find that the "as ifs" have it.

In this part of the world they are

The dragon flies system is better; the
energy is directly hitched up and huge
muscles (huge for an insect) propel
the wings in their sweeps. A bird
flaps its wings up and down. but a
dragon fly makes more nearly the mo-
tions in space of rowing-that is,
series of double loops. The elaborate
venation of dragon fy's wing is in-s
credible, even when you are looking at
it. One wing may-have 5000 cells be

the dragon fly relies far more on sight

he cannot move his eyes from side to
side, as We can, he can turn his head
almost completely around to see any
thing in any direction. Probably he
sees least well below him.

The planet Mercury speeds around
the sun at the rate of 29 miles per sec

Mercury has a diameter of 5000
miles. It is larger than the moon
which goes around the earth. but it
is not nearly so large as the planet
Venus.
So far as is known Mercury is closest
to the sun of all the planets. Several
years ago an astronomer believed that
he spied planet closer to the sun, but
his discovery has not been confirmed.
If there is any such planet, 1t must be
very, very small.
II say close but am speaking in
comparison with other planets. Mer-
curry is 36,000.000 miles from the sun,
and that is a greater distance than I
should like to walk.
What would it be like II we should
land on Mercury" you ask.
Il think we should find 1t very
'jumpy' place. When we started to lift
our feet to walk around we should find
ourselves stepping very high. The
gravity at the surface Of Mercury is
only one-third as great as the gravity
of the earth. The same effort which
would lift high jumper six feet above
the earth would lift him 18 feet II he
were on Mercury. We could easily break

For back hair the French twist is a
perennial favorite with mature women.
The hair is combed together at the
back and then twisted and rolled into
a vertical roll, with all ends neatly and
firmly pinned underneath. A long
curved comb may be used to hold the
twist in place. A variation of this hair
dress that is easier to do is made pos
sible by cutting the hair on one side
short and folding the other side, which
is left long, over the former and pinning
securely behind the ear. This reveals
the back contour of the head and yet
is more flattering than a bob.
Another simple way to arrange the
back hair is to divide it into two equal
parts, give each twist and cross them
over at the center back. The right
hand strand of hair Is turned under
and pinned firmly behind the left ear
while the left strand is fastened behind
the right ear. This is one of the most
popular styles for back hair that Is
about five inches long. It covers the
straggly short hairs that grow at the
nape of the neck and are the despair
OF many women.

" ERE seems to be fewer old ladies
than there used to be because
nowadays women stay young
Il longer. Perhaps the middle
aged woman of so years ago
felt younger inside, but custom made
her dress in a way to emphasize her
age. High-necked, dark gowns and un-
becoming knots of straight graying hair
made her look 10 or 20 years older than
she was.
Although now there are not many
women who really want to seem old.
there are some who do not understand
enough about the art of coiffuring to
enable them to look their age or
younger, so today I have few hints
especially for them.
There are two chief mistakes in hair
dressing that elderly women should
avoid. One is wearing their hair
straight and the other is fastening it
in knot or bun on top of the head.
These two ways of dressing the hair
add years to womans appearance and
brand her as being very much behind
the times as well A third error that
some middle-aged women make is
keeping their hair too long and thick.
