Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Open -mindedness is generally as
sumed to a first-rate human trait. Any
one who will admit that he does not
possess and cherish an open mind Is
regarded as queer sort Of an tndi-
vidual.
The fact of the matter is that an
open mind Is often enough anything
but virtue. There are many persons
who are so lazy mentally that they will
take their ease in the open spaces OF
an open mind" rather than take the
trouble to look at facts at close range.
One of the most curious uses (or
rather abuses OF the open-mtnd cult
is to employ it in support OF the most
ridiculous of untruths. Some persons
are so open-minded that they believe
anything.
For example, every now and then
some one tells me about real CD case
of mental telepathy. He goes into de-
tails, most of which are mere flight OF
Imagination. I am asked to accept the
account, or to give open-minded ca
reasons for another explanation. My
invariable explanation is stated in five
words: There is no such thing.
Whereupon, I am asked to prove that
it didn't happen OF course, cannot
furnish the proof demanded. And so
I am a victim of the open minded argu-
ment.

4 y Sh1NA CAIEHP1DLAtCO are great
copycatS! Just watch them as
they follow each other over the
~ Virginia creeper or the grape
vine. Touch one of them, up
he rears, and almost instantaneously
the whole company of caterpillarS IS
standing at attention. Then they begin
waving back and forth in a most snob-
bish manner. They clasp the twig in a
viSe-like hold with suction foot at the
tip of the body. With their heads tele-
Scoped into the first three Segments, the
horn on the tip of each back looking as
if it were great stinger or poison
gun, you are ready for most anything
from these menacing- looking creatures.
Furthermore, they can become rigid
and hold this position for hours.
Bluff, pure and simple. They get
away with it, to- and many Myron
Sprinx would have been killed had it
not been for the fact he looked like a
dangerous fellow. His small black head
has strong jaws for cutting and chew
ing the creeper and the grapevine, but
nothing else. His eight true legs get
him about and his prolegs hold him
steady after the new position has been
reached. The very large strong clasper,
found at the tip of his body, permits
him to swing about in seach of more
leaves and to aid him IN deceiving his
foes. Along his body are his breathing
pores, trimmed in colorS. The back is
a dark green or black and the sides are
light green or yellow. They are gay
and festive looking creatures, whose
aim in the short caterpillar life is to
consume as many leaves as possible.
Outgrowing skins and shedding them
seems to be all they do. They fast for a
day before the old skin splits. The
caterpillar now has a oose-fitting suit
and an extra sharp appetite after his
fast. You should see him making
strides toward the succulent leaf. He
Is most businesslike.
These fierce-l looking creatures are no
match for tiny, four-winged fly, whose
ambition in life is to place her whole
family in the body OF fine, plump
sphinx caterpillar. She hovers over her
victim and gives him a needle-like
prick with her egg-placer. My! How
he resents this insult! Again and again
she pierceS his skin, while the fright-
ened and tornented caterpillar rears
and swings. Finally the last egg has
been placed and the mother, we'll salts
fed with her successful venture, dis
appears and is seen no more.
The unfortunate victim gets over his
pain and goes back to eating the leaf
of the grape or creeper. About this

When heartless cruelty Is fun.
Reddy Fox was far from home. 1t
was long since he had been so far from
home in the Old Pasture on Farmer
Browns farm. But these were hard
days with everything buried in snow,
hard days, indeed, and hungry days,
One must hunt far and wide to get
enough food to keep alive. Reddy had
known hard times in other winters,
but never one SO hard as this. Only
when he slept did he know what 1t
was to be free from q. feeling Of gnaw
ing emptiness in his stomach. Even
then he dreamed Of things to eat only
to waken to the disappointment of
finding them unreal.
So Reddy had taken to hunting far
from home, leaving the familiar home
hunting grounds to Mrs. Reddy. Some
times he would be gone for two or
three days, curling up in some shell
tered spot, his big tail protecting his
nose and face, for the sleep he had
to have. He was thin and lean and
tired from overmuch travelling, yet
never could he get full meal that
would allow him to rest and regain his
strength Now and then he caught o
Mouse. Once he caught a half grown
Rabbit, and would have carried it
home to share with Mrs. Reddy but
that the distance was too great. Farm
after farm he visited in the hope OF
catching a fat hen, but 1t seemed as
II all the farmers knew that he was
about and were taking special care to
keep their hens locked up.
Reddy had been hunting all night,
with two small Mice his only reward.
They were little enough to put in an
empty stomach. Still, they were better
than nothing and Reddy was thankful
for even this little as he curled up at
daybreak for the rest he greatly needed
He was tired, very tired, for in his
half starved condition he tired more
easily than when well fed.
1t seemed to him that he hardly had
closed his eyes when he was awakened
by a sound he knew only too well, the
baying of a Hound Reddy sat up to-
listen, his head cooked trifie to one
side.
II hope that Dog isn't following my
track" thought he. II don't know this
country about here well enough to be
sure of fooling Dog who has done
much hunting, and If there are
hunters with terrible guns out this
morning, I haven't any idea where
they are likely to be. Back home I
know just where to expect them to be
lying in wait and it Is simple mat
ter to fool them. And I'm tired
don't feel like running. Oh, dear, 7
fear that Dog is on my trail"
In few minutes he knew that his
fear was we'll grounded. There was

the most attractive models are
~ most reasonably priced, and it is
much wiser to buy one while you
have the opportunity to make your Sc
lections in leiSurely manner than to
wait until a very important evening
event turns up and you have to rush
madly out and get a new dress to do
honor to the event. So be prepared,
and If you can't afford the new evening
dress, then by all means see what you
can do to get your old evening dresses
ready for an emergency.
The sketch today shows a new eve
ming dress made Of silk crepe trimmed
with 2R-inch bands Of satin ribbon.
These arranged over the shoulder give
the new deep armhole effect and an
interesting version Of the v neck. You
will need two bands about 80
inches long for the armholes, one strip
long enough to form a belt and two
more strips long enough to follow the
outline of the decolletage at front and
back and to cross over to form tabs at
front and back.
In the original model these strips of
satin were lined with the silk crepe
used for the dress. But if you have
none Of the original material you may
use silk crepe to match the satin OF the
strips. On white dress you may make
your bands of colored satin, fairly
light green, blue or rose, and on a
pastel-toned dress they may be Of
somewhat darker tone Of the same
color.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLuMMER.

on to begin his fight against the mora
tcrium. Perched high in the press gal
lery as he started, we recalled the Sena-
tors words of the week before.
But II he had slept too much the day
before, il he had eaten too much the
day before, or If he had loafed too much
the day before, he gave little evidence
Of it then.
He has seldom been seen in better
form on the Senate floor than he was
on that particular blue Monday"
johnson has spectacular style of
oratory. Few can match him when he
takes the floor on such occasions.
He seems never at loss for words.
They come in an unending flow and
with the sharpness of blade. And as
the speaks his face reflects their In
tensity.
At times he scowls and froWnS At
other times he puts on sort of sar-
donic grin and sneers, then grows bit
terly sarcastic.
His one gesture seems effective. An
index finger is thrust forward from a
clenched fist at his hip. One is re-
minded of q man shooting from the
hip" when he is in such pose.
He walks to and fro behind his desk
as he speaks, pausing only TO take q sip
of water from glass which a page
must work overtime to keep filled, or to
read from some paper he has extracted
from huge brown envelope on his desk.
The official reporters of the Senate
say that johnson Is the easiest Senator
to follow in taking down speech. His
enunciation is we'll nigh perfect, his
pauses for punctuation well timed
And he holds the attention Of the
galleries, II not all the Senators. With
Senator Hi" going at full speed on the
moratorium, packed galleries were
straining almost the entire time, lest
they miss a word.

He, poor fellow, begins to notice q
gone feeling and tries to eat more
leaves. Then the youngsters cut little
hole through the walls of his body and
at the entrance construct dainty little
white silken cocoons, which give the
caterpillar the appearance of being
decorated with bugles. From now or
the caterpillar moves slowly with his
strange cargo. Later the little flies, full
grown, will lift the lid from their little
cocoonS and step out. 1t is too late
for the burdened one to recover.
When not the victim of this parasite
the caterpillar, after reaching his full
growth, will enter the earth and build
himself snug cell In here he will
change from caterpillar to long
tongued moth with strong wings and
robust body.

For those who have mechanical
refrigerators a delicious dessert
may be made by stuffing eclaire
with vanilla ice cream and plac-
ing them for two hours in one Of
the trays. When frozen the
eclairs may be arranged on
serving plates and topped with
thick chocolate sauce.
Don't pour boiling water over

sudden contraction and e2pan-
sion.
