Everyday Psychology
BY On. JESSE ". sPRowLs.

Some day our courts Of law will be
asking this question with more serious
ness than they do today: Is it pos
sible to commit q crime without PLAN
ming it?"
There are those, Of course, who say
that one may commit a crime ION the
spur Of the moment" and accordingly
one should not be held responsible.
There Is a growing suspicion In the
minds Of psychologists, however, that
an unplanned crime Is something of
novelty. to say the least. More and
more the so-called doctrine of deter.
minism" is gaining ground This doc-
tr1ne teaches that every act Is caused
by some preceding act or acts These
preceding acts may actually be carried
out or they may only be imagined. In
their imagined form they may have
been slumbering in the mind OF the
criminal for years. In that case they
gradually form character trait, which,
when the opportunity is presented, goes
into action as surely as an unsupported
stone falls to earth.
Why do our detectives hunt for mo-
tives the very moment they find that
a crime has been committed? They
have learned from experience that
every crime has cause And why do
they in every case revisit the rogues'
gallery while they search for the crimi-
nal? They know from experience that
every criminal is likely to have a char.
acter capable of criminal acts.

collector OF internal revenue during the
Wilson administration and his knowl-

during the World War brought him to
Washington repeatedly.
Murphy Is credited with devising the
forms now In use in income tax COL

many Of the ideas the Democrats en-
ployed in financing the war.
He continued as an income tax coun-
selor for some 100 different firms and
corporations after his resignation from
the Government service q few years
ago.
Murphy refused to run for the Sen
ate when his friends first approached
him, but later changed his mind and
entered the primary. He defeated three
men to get the nomination. one Of
whom was former Senator Steck.
In the general election he surprised
the rest Of the country. II not Iowa, by
defeating both Henry Field. seed mer-

platform was repeal OF the eighteenth
amendment.
Just q little while before Murphy
himself didn't think Iowa was ready to
listen to such an appeal But in the
campaign he struck out. always re-
minding the farmers what prohibition
was costing them.
In his campaign for election Murphy
stuck close to the issues and avoided
personalities. He is considered one OF
the most forceful political speakers IN

w YHAT Peter means is that even
n those we think we know the
NV best we really know very
Y little about. It always has
been so and always viii be
So Life Is like that. Peter had known
| Mrs. Eel In the Smiling Pool Tor long
time. That Is, he had seen her often,
had watched her swimming about ana
knew, or thought he knew, her habits
and all about her. True he never had
talked with her for she lived in the
| water. down at the bottom Of the Smil-
ing Pool, but when the latter was quiet
| and clear he could sit on the bank ana
watch her and this he OFTEN had done.
The first time he had seen her ne
had thought she was q member OF the
Snake family. That was because ne
had not really used his eyes. She was
long and slender like Snake ana nao
moved in and out among the weeds on
the bottom like one, and so he had
jumped to the conclusion that she was
one. Jumping to conclusions is q Dao
thing to do for you Will IN time as M
cover that more often your conclu.
sions are wrong than right. Peter had
been much chagrined when Jerry
Muskrat had pointed out that Mrs. Eel
had fms and that her head, when ne
really looked at 1t, was not like the
head Of any Snake he knew. After
that he had come over to the Smiling
Pool often to watch her. Sometimes
he saw her and sometimes ne didn't.
In time he learned to regard her as one
of the older residents OF the Smiling
Pool, like Jerry Muslrat or Grand
father Frog.
All through the past Summer Peter
had seen Mrs. Eel frequently when
visiting the Smiling Pool He was SO
ased to seeing her that he seldom gave
her a thought. Then came the Au-
tuns. Peter managed to get over
there often One day quite late in the
season he sat looking down in the water
that before long would be covered with
ice and he happened to think Of Mrs.
Eel. He looked in her favorite place,
but saw no signs of her. Then 1t oc-
Cured to him that 1t was some time
since he had seen her.
II wonder" said he.
What do you wonder?" inquired
Jerry Muslrat, who happened along
just then.
II was wondering about Mrs. Eel"
replied Peter. II was wondering II she.
like Grandfather Frog, has gone into
the mud for the Winter"
mo" replied Jerry. "She has left" :,
what do you mean by left?" de-
manded Peter.
"she has left the Smiling Pool" re-
piled Jerry.

Peter irf great surprise. What did sne
do that for, and where has she gone?'

rapidly done should be attempted. In
previous articles on Christmas gifts
which can be made at small cost, all
sorts have been described. Today a
combination set of articles made in q
comparatively few moments will be
described.
A novel sachet set Is made of small
squares of silk, arranged to stand up
right around circle, the top Of which
is covered with an array of tiny en-
broidered ribbon, or artificial flowers
and foliage. Or the circular center can
be round pincushion with silk top
plain or quilted in small diamonds with
fine running stitches, and trimmed with
half-inch-wide lace. Sachets are in
different colors of silk or satin ribbon.
This offers an excellent way to use
up odds and ends of fresh ribbon. The
number Of sachets required depends
upon the size of the central circle. A
dozen are customarily used.
A twoinch ribbon roller, such as can
be had from ribbon counters, makes an
excellent circular center about which
to pin the sachets. These rollers are
generally hollow like a drum and the
sachets can be secured to one with
pins thrust through their edges and
the roller. The roller snou1d be glued
to the middle Of a cardboard circle

THAT is silly" declared Peter. "She
has laid her eggs in the Smiling Pool
before, so why not this time?"
Jerry shook his head. Wrong, Peter.
You are quite wrong" said he. You
never have seen the eggs of Mrs. Eel
nor has any one else"
But I have seen the baby Eels, a
lot Of them, and so have you." declared
Peter: "of course they were born
here"
Again Jerry shook his head. Wrong
again, Peter" said he "Those baby
Eels were not born in the Smiling Pool.
Mrs. Eel was not their mother. They
