with practically every other, such as
green, gray, wood tones Of soft brown
and tan, black and white. Then there
are others so pronounced that they must
be used in limited quantities and with
great care in combining with others.
Scarlet is perhaps chief among these
colors, with purple a close second, and
bright yellow following in close success
sion A dash of any Of these hues may
be introduced like the dash Of red pep
per to flavor food, but too much Of them
Is dazzling and therefore confusing.
When a patterned paper or figured
textile is employed in decoration, it is
wise to select from the colors in them,
matching colors in plain materials to
60 in the room. Several colorS can thus
be harmoniously combined In the deco
ration of a single room and no con-
fusion result. One should be very wary
of bringing into the decoration colors
which are foreign to those in a col
orful textile used in 1t. Also when q
plain drapery color or wallpaper Is in
a room, the same hue should be in
cluded in figured textile employed in
the same room.

Old Mother Nature.
ToHNNY CHUCK had seen the
young Fox start after Chucky.
Indeed, IL had been Johnny
~ Chuck who had given his for
getful young son warning, for he
had seen the young Fox approaching.
His first glance had told him that It
wasn't Reddy or Mrs. Reddy, but one
of their children. That meant there
Sas nothing for him to fear. He was
more than O match for any young Fox
just starting out in the world and he
knew 1t.
But it was q different matter with
young Chucky. very different matter
indeed. To be sure he was big, more
wholly lacking In experience and ex-
perience counts for q great deal. So
far as Johnny Chuck knew young
Chucky never had been in q real fight
ins his life. To be sure he had had
petty quarrels with his brothers and
sisters, but these we're not fights. Could
he or would he fight this young Fox?
1t would be test Of his courage.
Chucky had disappeared. running for
the old stonewall as fast as his short
legs could take him. and after him the
young Fox. Johnny knew that the
latter would overtake Chucky long be-
fore he could reach the safety Of the
old wall. so Johnny started after
them Being big and fat he could not
run very fast, but he hoped that Chucky
would put UP enough Of a fight to en-
able him to catch up. He had no fear
Of that young Fox. II only he could
catch up in time he would soon put that
fellow to fight.
When he came in sight Of the two
they were rolling over and over TO-
gether, snarling, biting and clawing.
Then the young Fox leaped aside with
a yelp and Johnny knew that Chucks
teeth had hurt. He slowed down, for he
was getting out Of breath, and he had
seen at a glance that Chucky was hold
ing his own. The two fighters were at
it again, for the young Fox was no cow
ard. Johnny drew near, but not near
enough to attract the attention Of the
fighters. Chucky. was in no serious
trouble yet and he wanted Chucky to
win his battle himself If possible.
"He has good stuff in him. He Is no
coward" thought Johnny. IF he can
win this fight it will do him lot Of
good. 1t win give him confidence and
he will be better fitted to 60 out for
himself in the Great World. A lot de-
pends on the first f1sht. Yes, sir, lot
depends on the first fight"
Meanwhile Chucky and the young
Fox had forgotten everything but each
other. Chucky had run In fear, but
now he had no fear. He was simply
fighting mad. The young Fox was
quicked than he, but not quick enough
to catch Chucky off guard. He did his

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Mental Wealth.

Psychologists say that We all have
a psychic income, no matter how poor
We may be in other ways. Psychic in
come is flow Of satisfactions," or
a stream Of enjoyments," or desirable
results produced In the realm Of feel
ings" during given period Of time.
These psychologists assume that our
psychic income Is variable, that we are
richer some days. some weeks or some
months than during other similar pc
riods Of time.
This psychic income Is derived from
anything that gives US feeling Of
satisfaction. Some OF 1t might now
from q new suit of clothes, some from
from friendships and so forth.
Now we cannot at any given time,
say moment, an hour or day, say
just what things are involved in our
psychic income. The way to deter
mine the source of your mental wealth
is to study how you feel when you are
deprived first of one factor then OF
another. If, for instance, friendships
play the leading role in your stream
Of satisfaction, you will feel poor when
you have lost one. You will know
exactly what things are best for your
wellbeing If you discover the ones
that make you feel poor when they
are temporarily taken from you.
This new term, psychic income,
seems to be one of the very best that
have come along in recent years. II
helps us to take stock of our mental
life so that every now and then we
may know just what things to strive
for to keep our mental life up to par
And, Of course, this stock taking will
have its effect on our physical we'll
being.

~ OVAL walnut moths chill

X Horned Devils" Not that they
/ \ are wicked, they only look SO.
When YOU see these 51l2 inch
devils" for the first time, you give
them wide berth. 1t takes convincing
argument to assure you that all those
formidable horns are for ornamental
purposes only and incidentally to
frighten off their enemies.
The regal parents OF the warlike
looking offspring are our largest moths.
They seek the walnut, hickory and per-
simmon tree on which to court and
later. the mother will fasten 200 large
amber -colored eggs on the bark. The
moths are beautifully dressed In deep
browns and soft yellows, with wing
expansion Of inches. On the fore
wings are splashes Of yellow, the wing
veins are outlined in red-brown, the
ground color of the wings is a slate
gray. The liking" has more pluny an
tenna and much shorter than MS
queens" Their bodies are covered
with soft hair. Their span OF life Is
short.
Along in July the satanic looking
creatures creep from the eggs. They
are as black as night and even though
they are only little over orle-half inch
long, they have three pairs Of horns,
each horn tipped with spiny ball.
Tine way those black rascals can eat
walnut leaves and wax fat. You can

themselves when they change their

of the old suit. This is much more

his old suit! The face mask is too
tough for his jaws, so the thrifty one
has to pass that morsel UP. Each
change sees him with more lovely blues,

headgear and greater size.

- OLOR and pattern are two
things which have to be treat
ed with reserve in decoration.
~ Today, with color being accent
ed so strongly and pattern
brought into prominence, 1t requires
great care to prevent cluttered i'm
preston being transmitted through
them to interiors. This Is as detri-
mental to good decoration as was the
lack Of these elements in the previous
era of neutral tones which sapped rooms
of their necessary vitality and made
them dull and even q bit dreary. 1t Is
action toward color and pattern which
brings with 1t the problem OF correct
use minus confusion,
1t Is almost an axiom with decorators,
the saying: with plain walls Use
patterned draperies and with patterned
papers use plain draperies." 1t Is true
that there can be excellent effects with
out following these plans, but 1t re-
quires trained decorator or an artist
to combine patterned papers and tex
tiles. without losing the value Of one or
the other. Skill is required in no small
measure to retain simplicity and avoid
confusion In such decorative treatment.
30 1t is wise for the home decorator to
follow the rtiles-plain walls, figured
draperies: figured walls, plain draperies.
Color is rife today. One sees the
most amazing conglomeration of as
sorted colors in one room. These hues
are not accidental: the result Of arti-
cles assembled which were not originally
designed to go together. The colors are
Intentionally introduced because of the
vogue Of vivid decorations. In another
few years these rooms. rampant with
color, will be considered the essence Of
bad taste in decoration. just as they
reflect poor artistic choice today.
1 The home decorator should strive to
keep her room treatments bright enough
to conform with present-day styles,
which are gay, but should not be garish.

eolors, not just one or two, as was the

for more leaves. When he finds them,
his small claw-tipped true legs, which

Then the feet let 60, the pro-legs which

When two months old he realizes 1t

with cement so that they will not fall

caterpillar rests. In a short time his

case soon hardens and here he remains
until the following July, when you will
see yellow moth creep from the

THAT BODY. OF YOURS

OF hot baths are all OF help. They
are supplying heat to the part of the
body affected.
Dr. L. Hill, London, states that some
patients with severe chronic rheun1a-
tisin which had been treated for many
weeks by short exposures to the mer-
curry vapor lamp, the local tungsten
arc and source Of infra-red rays ap-
pear to have received more benefit from
two or three prolonged exposues to In
candescent gas lamps than they had
received in all the previous weeks
Their joints become easier, looser and
less painful.
Heat appears to be the active agent
by provoking flushing, Transportation
| (perspiration), q pouring out Of lymph,
/ loosening of the connective or hard
tissues around the joint, lessening of
the pain and by promoting nutrition
and so overcoming chronic infection.
DR.. Hill finds that bowl reflector in
candescent gas or electric heaters are
cheap and efficient sources of radia-
ton for the treatment Of chronic rheu-
matism.
This statement from such a high
authority as DR.. Hill, that the heat
from the ordinary gas or electric light
reflected on the joint will relieve
chronic rheumatism If the heat Is ap-
piled for long periods each time, should
make every sufferer at least try this
simple and cheap method of treatment

"Dear Uncle Ray: In your article

series, I note that you would be glad
to hear from readers who heard List
play. I am one of those who were so
funtunate as to have heard him, when
I resided In Vienna during the years
1873 to 1880. Among the various pieces
he played, remember most viyidly one
Of his rhapsodies.
From the moment his magic fingers
touched the grand piano silence reigned
supreme over the audience, but follow
| ing his performance the audience arose
with enthusiastic applause.
'Liszt was tall. His long gray hair
almost touched his shoulders. During
| his lifetime lived some of the greatest
musicians the world has ever produced,
among them Wagner, Brahms, Scfu-
mann, Verdi, Patti and Strauss. 1t was
! really the musical age.

was not recorded for the phonograph,
