Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. SPRoWLs.
Ambition.

Lately have been browsing through
the shelves Of popular psychology.
wanted to know what the writer's
thought was good for popular con-
sumption.
Nearly all of them. sometime. some-
where. get around to the subject OF
ambition. Briefly, the story Is this:
BE ambitious, and you will succeed" !"
I take it that all this talk about ambi-
ton Is supposed to be some sort Of psy-
Geological stimulant.
Ambition Is all right-and just as
often it can be wrong Speaking Of
ambition, I can't help thinking about
the awful plight Of Macbeth. He had
plenty of it. Got some from Lady Mac
beth, and more from the weird sisters
He listened to their sugar coated ad-
vice because he had ambition of his
own to begin with.
This ambition argument Is worth
careful consideration. For ambition
without a sense of achievement IS
about the most destructive thing you
can possess Lean see where unstudied
ambition has made fools Of people
many times. Ambition without the
means for sustaining the goal of am
bition has ruined many ambitions.
Perhaps we could talk about ambition
If we could agree on what 1t means.
And so propose a definition. Ambi-
ton Is a desire plus sense OF its at
tainment, plus knowledge Of how to
use it, minus all the day-drean1s that
keep gravitating toward it.

toward home she took advantage Of
every hiding place for the young Grouse
while she made sure that the way ahead
was safe.
They had come to . hole in the
ground. It was an old hole dug long
ago by the great-great-grandfather Of
Johnny Chuck. The entrance was
partly flled with dead leaves. Bram-
bles had grown around 1t to some ex-
tent. You 60 in there and hide"
But I don't want to-" whined the
young Grouse. "A hole in the ground
may be all right for Peter Rabbit or

than once myself. Now do as I say.
have a feeling that Reddy Fox Is
somewhere about here. If he is he has
to be led away and have got to do it,"
Mrs. Grouse saw the young Grouse
properly hidden in that hole and then
hoped up on an old stump q short
distance away. 1t was a fine place
from which to keep watch. She had
been there only a few minutes when she
heard just the faintest rustling Of leaves
Then she saw the sharp face of Reddy
Fox peering from behind a big tree.
Instantly she silently slipped down to
the ground and ran swiftly into
thicket of one side. Once there she
fluttered her wings among the dry
leaves and then ran swiftly farther into
the thicket where she did the same
thing
Now those keen ears Of Reddys had
caught the sound Of those rustling
leaves at once. He had paused Just
long enough to locate the place from
which the sound came. Then he moved
quickly In that direction.
That is q wounded bird huttering,"
thought he with grin Of anticipation.
Il heard a gun up this way early this
morning."
Right past the hole in which the
young Grouse was hidden Reddy trotted
without so much as glance at It, He
was too intent on those rustling leaves
ahead Of him. He came presently to
the place where Mrs. Grouse had been
and his keen nose found her scent.
Il thought sol" he exclaimed under
his breath. He paused to listen. He
heard the beating Of wings some dis
tance OF to one side and bounded for
ward In that direction. his nose pick
ing up the scent left by the feet OF
Mrs. Grouse. That beating OF wings
meant that that Grouse couldn't fly
and all he had to do was to run it
down. At least that Is what he thought

flew up in a tree that he suspected
that he had been nnisled and tricked

rapid winnowing motions Of the pectoral
fins keep the water above them moving
and prevent anything from settling on
them
A few days after the eggs are laid
the small fry matches and the parents
are busily engaged moving their nu-
merous children from the sandy nursery
to plants or back again. When one
week old the young begin to swim. At
this age they do not look like their par
ents and are often mistaken for other
toy fishes In about IA days the long
fms appear and they may be easily
identified. They swim in schools and
look like little silver stars darting about.
They grow rapidly and are soon looking
for their mates.
The state of health Is easily dis
cerned by the brightness of the colors.
In about a week after the first family
has been raised, another cradle will be
made and 200 eggs will be laid near
where the flrst ones were tended with
such care. Where there are such large
families 1t is usually because Of the
many small fry consumed by larger fish.

Milady Beautiful
BY LOIS LEEDA.
Undetermined Beauty.

THERE comes q time to every girl
when she realizes that II she
wants to retain her good looks
i she must revise some of her
thoughtlessly acquired habits Of
living. The human machine can stand
considerable abuse In youth, but the
fact that the i'll effects Of unhyNenic
habits are not perceived at once should
not be allowed to blind one to the i'm
portance Of correct habits Late hours,
an unwise choice Of foods, insufficient
exercise and fresh air, too lavish use of
cosmetics, incorrect posture, all these
things register themselves automatically
on milady's face and figure day after
day until their cumulative effect can
no longer be overlooked.
Then Is the time to take stock OF
ones physical and mental self. Youth
fulness Is lost by degrees scarcely per-
ceptible to oneself. though quite eW-
dent to others. One Of the first signs
Is an avoidance Of exercise; one forms
the lazy habit Of riding short distances
instead Of walking and Of choosing
sedentary amusements In place of ath-
letic ones. This habit, together with
the common practice of overeating,
gradually spoils the beauty Of milady's
figure.
Wrong habits Of eating lead to indi-
gestion and blotchy complexions After
the growing period Is over the body re-
quires less food than it did before, and
IL the diet Is not scaled down q little
then, excess fat will accumulate.

One block is large enough for such a

Quail was a good season for him If he
kept out of sight Of those hunters with
terrible guns, and this was not at all
difficult. He had learned that where
there was shooting there would surely
be wounded birds and sometimes dead
birds that the hunters had failed to
find So he had learned to take ad-
vantage of what to the feathered folk
was a dreadful season, and to live well
on what the terrible guns provided
It seems to be the law Of life generally
that some shall profit by the troubles
of others.
Now Mrs. Grouse was well aware of
this and she knew that where the hunt
ers had been Reddy was sure to follow.
So she was always on the watch for
him. She knew that If once he found
that wounded young Grouse the latter
would nave no chance at all without
her help. So as they travelled back

sexes the female appears to be the more
highly colored, which is unusual In the
fish family.
Their food is found on the small
plants which float about on the surface

seem to enjoy the substitutes given
them, even more than the food they
have been used to.
