Story of the Alphabet.
EGYPTIAN WORDS.

TINE SOUND-SIGNS or letters
in Egypt's alphabet numbered
between 20 and 80. Some
i scribes used less than others.
Some used a picture Of bird
for the "b" sound, others a sketch OF
a leg
That may seem strange to you. We
have 26 letters in our alphabet and a
man in Halifax or Winnipeg uses the
same letters as a man in San Fran
cisco. New York or London.
We must remember. however, that
the Egyptians were inventing the al
phabet 1t is little wonder that their
writer's had different ideas about the
pes; pictures to use.
Would you like to count to 10 in the
language of ancient Egypt? Here is
the way. as nearly as men OF science
have been able to figure it out: Ue,
sen, exempt, flu, tua, SUI, sexef, exc
-S-lnu paut and lreti.
In writing those numbers 1t was usual
in Egypt to spell the names with pic
ture letters and then make figures for
them. 1t was as If we should write
"one, l." two, q" three, g." and so on.
The common custom in Egypt was to
write from right to left. If we were to
write EGYPT in that way, it would go
like shis: TPYGE. Try to write some
thing else from right to left, and see
how 1t goes.
In later story I shall tell you where
the custom of writing from left to
right. as we do. came from To this
very day, in some parts of Asia, 1t Is
the custom to write from right to left.

Finds His News Stale.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel raced
along the old stonewall on his way
back to the Green Forest. With almost
every jump he looked behind. He was
excited, and if the truth were known,
he was Just a bit scared. He had had
the narrowest of escapes from Monkey
face the Barn Owl and he still shivered
when he thought of it. Now he was
eager to get back to the Green Forest
where he would feel safer and where
he looked forward to spreading the
news of this queer looking and dan

No one keeps better watch than 1 do,
but this very Gay was almost caught.
There is a stranger, a member of the
Owl family, Who has come to live
around here, and you want to watch
out for him. He even hunts in the
daytime on dark days like this, and,

Did you notice what long legs he
has and what big feet? And did you
ever see such face in all your life?"
asked -Whitsfeot in his squeaky voice
and with a twinkle in his small bright
eyes.
Chatterer's face fell. He stared hard
and long at Whitefoot but the latter
pretended not to notice it. Who told
you about him?" he demanded at last.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

The psychology OF personality has In
late years attracted the attention Of an
increasing number of students Natu-
rally some misunderstanding have de-
veloped along with the things that are
understood
Generally speaking, most people dc
not distinguish between weak person.
alities and deficient personalities. Con-
sequently, there is, find, much confu-
sion even in scientific treatises on the
general subject.
A weak personality is a personality
that has taken too much punishment,
somewhere, sometime. That same weak
personality may have at one time been
q strong one. Give a weak personality
chance to redevelop and it will usually
respond with a surprising gain of
strength
A deficient personality presents an
entirely different prospect. There is
something lacking, rather than some
thing that has temporarily ceased to
function. The deficient individual
failed to develop.
Several theories have been advanced
for the non-arrival of the deficients.
According to one theory, the deficient
personality is actually short on brain
cells. A second theory holds that some
one or more of the endocrine glands
failed to secrete the usual amount of
hormones which supply mental energy.
These two theories seem to be the best.

~ wen tnat 1t was adopted as tLe
national flower. The Dutch
Il colonistS call it Pinxter bloem or
Whitsunday flower.
When the pioneers saw the woods
and hillsides covered with these rosy,
fragrant flowers, nothing would do but
they must send some of the hardy
ones back to their people in the old
country. In return for this, the hor-
ticulturiSts of Belgium crossed our
azaleaS with one of Southern Europe
and the result is our very beautiful
ones used as shrubbery.
In the woods from Maine to florida
and westward to Texas we find these
exquisite flowers from April to May.
The stems are shrubby and often grow
to be five feet long. The leaves are
slow in coming out, and often the
flowers are well along before they ap-
pear. They are usually clustered, OBJ
long, pointed at ends, and have hairy
midribS.
The flowers are pink, purplish or
deep pink, and rarely white. They
spring from a cone shaped, scaly brown
bud, and when fully opened, are two
inches across. The calyx is tiny and
shaped, the tubes being narrow and
hairy with five regular spreading lobes.
There are also five stamenS and one
pistil.
The azaleas set out a most intriguing
invitation to the alert and industrious
bee. The style is conspicuous and af-
fords a fine landing platform for the
guest. While making her visits, she
leaves behind the grains of pollen she
picked up on her call on a neighbor
azalea. She found that, in order to get
to the nectar, she was obliged to crawl
over the dainty anthers. Soon after
her visit, her hostess corolla slipped
down to the tip of the pistil and there
it stayed until a strong wind blew
it away. 1t is a sure sign that fer
tilization has taken place.
Baby bees may thrive on the nectar
and the honey made from this flower,
but those who have sampled it are

TIME unique and Individual letter
forms used by this writer i'm
mediately suggest that she is
l. most original and distinctive
person. She probably expresses
these traits in all phases of her life
from her manner of dress to her opin-
ions and thoughts. She seemingly Is
not the type who would slavishly follow
fashion. but would form her own opin-
ions When asked, she perhaps Is very
glad to tell of her views, but she Is
scarcely the type to force them upon
people.
Many of her letters are very wide in
comparison with their height, denotlng
poise and confidence on the part OF the
writer. She seems one who would never
be at a loss for the correct thing to do.
Few circumstances would arse that
could dispel her assurance. This may
be partly due to her courage. In all
probability. she seldom admits defeat
in any project, but works on in the
face of difficulties.
The very unusual loops of the If"
and ID are seldom used except by very
fastidious people. She appears to be a
person of good judgment and exquisite
taste. Instinctively, almost, she knows
right from wr0lg in any question. Her
home surely reflects this connoisseur's
viewpoint, expressing her own charming
nature in a most attractive way.
The straight lines used at the base
of the letters is an indication OF de-
termination and power. She probably
has no patience with weakness of
character in any one. Her own nature
is so strong that it is. perhaps, impos-
sible for her to understand failure In
others.
She possibly is intensely interested in
new lines of thought. especially those
of a psychological trend. Human nature
with its many different sides is per-
haps. more interesting to her than any
other subject.

 CT on Program

Night World" colorful drama of New Years gay White Way. with Lew Ayres and Mae Clarke in the leading roles; "Helpmates, D 1ollicking farce starring Stan Lau- rel and Oliver Hardy, and a song release O. Nanny" by the famous Sir Harry Lauder, constitute what virtually amounts to a triple pro- gram tonight at the Capitol thea tre. i4
 In Night World" one of the outstanding features is the Bushby Berkeley chorus.
 Famous Dance Director
 Berkeley is a dance director who creates more than dance steps. The ballet artist who went to Hol- lywood after several outstanding successes on Broadway, New York, is known for his chorus effects. He literally moulds choruses into figures, flowers and animated groups that move and seem to live as Q whole. ~H
 A special picked chorus of the l2 most beautiful and shapely maid ems in Hollywood go through the bizarre formations of Berkeley's 5 creation in Night World"
 Laid in Nieht Club
 Not the least remarkable feature ot this fast-moving screen play is the fact that the entire action of the story is laid within gay night club. "a gigantic setting which is a marvel of motion picture, craftsmanship. The story covers the events of single night, and it is a night filled with swift succession of exciting incidents.
 In "Helpmates, the proverb Haste Makes Waste is aptly il- frustrated.
 Hardy, who has been on three day party during his wife's ab- sence, learns of her sudden return and calls his friend Laurel in to lhelp clean up the house.. Wrecked and Burned Tn their haste to put everything in order they completely wreck the place and Laurel, left to his own resources, finally burns down the entire dwelling. Il
 Nanny" Is one of the most fa- nous of Lauder's songs. In the presentation of it, as with his other sorgs, he indulges in con- siderable rnonologue. His singing and his talking make an enter taining act of rare merit.
