Everyday Psychology
Law of Averages.

There Is a law of averages that seems
to rule the world of nature. This law
has place in psychology The fellow
who thinks he is always right and the
other fellow always wrong has failed to
understand that at least one-half the
world belongs to other people.
The man who understands the ele-
mentary mathematics of human nature
recognizes that, on the average, almost
any one may be counted on to have a
few vices and also a few virtues; that
the rest of the world, as well as himself,
is one-half in the right. This attitude
OF averages Is the result of experience
and may be applied to everything that
men think about, complain about or
approve. This law of averages has
something to do with your mental re-
actions to rainy days, hot days, needed
holidays, poor highways.
Those who have not learned the
meaning of such an attitude stopped
growing mentally when they were very
young. There was time when each
of us had his way about things more
than half the time. Those who haven't
learned the law of averages are not
able to handle their own business.

inattentive to incoming breakers wnen
in such surf.
The strong swimmer often feels so
sure of himself that he is reckless.
However fine a swimmer he may be. ne
IS unwise when he swimS far out to sea
or away from a lake or river bank
when he Is alone or out of sight OF any
one on the shore. There is no ref1ectlon
on his ability as swimmer when he
avoids such dangers. The strongest
and ablest swimmers are sometimes
attacked with cramps and lives are use
lessly lost because Of heedlesSnesS OF
danger.
Little children are generally sufh-
GENTLY awed by the Vastness OF the
ocean to allow themselves to walk too
far into the water. However. when the
tide is coming in the waves gradually
creep inshore, and a child may be over
taken by the suddenness OF the water
from some big breaker washing ashore:
He should be able if he Is knocked
down to pick himself up before another
wave comes in, but sometimes the little
one gets so frightened that he Is be-
wildered Then there is danger. unless

In their music he found sadness, but he
also found the swing Of freedom.
Gypsy girls danced about, shaking
tambourines, uttering gentle cries as

To most persons bathing promotes
good health. 1t may be that they find
the continual activity of surf bathing
most beneficial where jumping the
breakers permits Of no quiet interims.
If swimming is the delight Of the
bather there is little likelihood of his
remaining still, even though the water
is as calm as a mill pond.
Those who enjoy being in the water
should be heedful of the precautions
which should be observed in whichever
kind of water they are bathing. For
example, where high surf prevails and
life lines are out for the bathers to
use, it is wise to be near enough to
them to be able to grasp them on

"Long-Distance" Layer

The theory that pullets alone pay as

money to buy or raise them. If bird
in her pullet year produces POI eggs
and in her second year 21S it is clear
that she is of the sort that should
not be summarily dealt with after one
years production. 1t would pay to
keep her for egg production alone
and of considerably more importance
to retain her for breeding purposes.
The hen referred to is Barred Rock
on the Agassiz farm. She and Is other
Barred Rocks under test produced
an average of 1877 eggs in their Sec
ond year. In five years one of these
hens laid 1,076 eggs, an average year

Sun Squirting Causes Wrinkles

a GREAT many people do lot of
sun-staring during the summer
only to find that a network of wrinkles
is the price one usually has to pay for
the privilege. Squirting is very def
mite cause of wrinkles. People who
squint ordinarily should have their
eyes examined by a specialist and
remedial measures taken. But sun
squirting is something we all do.
One way to avoid squirting is to
wear sun glasses or sun shades.
And very sure way to avoid lines
and wrinkles is via the good old
fashioned and old-reliable ounce
of prevention"
Every woman over twenty should
Use wrinkle oil during the summer
months. Even if there isn't the slight
est trace of line or crow's-foot
around your eyes, if the skin is as soft
and satin-smooth as it was when you
were as many months old as you have
years to your credit, include a good
wrinkle oil in your treatment at least
three times week. 1t should only be
left on lines or wrinkles from twenty
to forty minutes. Then followed by a
good skinfood.
Because of the astringent action of
the oil, it is best to use it after COM
ing in from outdoors. And before go
ing outdoors the preparations you use
to prevent sunburn are also excellent
as protective measures against lines
and wrinkles.
If your skin Is oily or inclined to
be quite moist during the summer
months, use a protective lotion. This
looking finish, keep powder smoothly
clingy and act as a barrier against the
burning and blistering rays of the sun.
If your skin is dry, use a finishing
cream or a special sunproofing oil. Pat
and blend the cream or oil over face
and neck until it is almost absorbed
by the skin. Then follow with dust
ing and blending of powder.
Take these important, protective
measures during the summer months
and at the end of the summer you will
have a two-fold cause for rejoicing.
First-there will be nary a wrinkle
to mar your youthful loneliness. Sec
ond, your skin will not be dull, heavy,
weatherbeaten or coarsened. and you
will not need complicated program
