Among your friends there's sure to be at least
one smart young married couple who are the
envy and admiration of all who know them.
With an income that is frankly abbreviated and
with no benevolent Aunts in the Offing, they
still have home that is correct and comfortable

and copied by their friends.

probably be the young husbands proud answer.
And there is little doubt about it.
Take look around that home and you will find

Everyday Psychology
Moral Imbeciles.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

A moral imbecile is person who,
from an early age, displays some per-
manent mental defect, coupled with
strong vicious or criminal propensities
on which punishment has little or no
deterrent effect"
1t is hard to estimate how many
there are in proportion to the general
population, for the imbecility may lie
dormant for many years. The few or
many that do exist cause a lot of trou-
BILE, for their behavior may be displayed
in almost any form of social derelic-
ton. They are called moral imbeciles
because their sense of right and wrong
is feeble capacity and also because
they assume no personal responsibility
for their acts once they get into trouble
The majority of cold-blooded murderers,
robberies and forgeries are due to moral
imbecility.
The moral imbecile. possessing. as he
sometimes does, a relatively high or
even superior degree of intellectual abil-
ity, often becomes the leader of a gang,
though not actually one of it. So he
may escape detection for years. In
carrying out his perverted scheme for
gaining living without labor, he dis
plays certain amount of leadership
that, under favorable guidance, might
lead to a successful career.

ASPEN TREE.
PopulOus Tremul0ides.
BY JOS. J. FRISCH.

TN spite of its leaves trembling with
every breeze, the ouaking aspen has
managed to scatter the family far
i and near and has become one of
the most widely distributed trees OF
North America. Although the tree is
short-lived, not living over 80 years, 1t
meets a need at a most critical time.
After a forest has been swept by a
devastating fire, the aspen seeds,
brought from afar by the winds, take
root and soon cover the unsightly
ground. These make excellent nurse
trees for the hardwoods and conifers
which follow.
1t is a very ornamental tree and a
grove Of them with shiny leaves remind
you of ripping water and the sound of
them is often mistaken for running
water. 1t is happy tree in spite of the
fact that 1t is said that Judas Iscariot
hanged himself on the aspen and 1t was
so ashamed that it has never left off
trembling" But Gerarde says, they are
like womans tongues, which seldom
cease from Wagging.'
In early Spring the tree Is its love-
liest, the pale bark turns greenish tint,
the flowers are pretty rose-colored cat
kinS hanging from nptched bractS,
fringed with silver hair. The leaves,
little bundles of soft white flannel. like
a kittens ear" Soon they turn to rose
and from then on to dark green, later
assuming the grOwn-up appearance.

dulged in by taking a dose of op-
timiSm.
Those who believe that optimism is
nothing but a mental attitude are not
to be controverted Those who believe
they cannot take a dose of it. however,
are not so discerning. A mental atti-
tude can be acquired whether 1t is the
joyous one of optimism, or the dis
agreeable one of pessimism. There are
things which can be done to plunge
| oneself into gloom. Few will deny this.
Why refute the idea. then, that there
are other things which can be done
which will lift a burden of despair and
worry. Let us see what some of these
latter things are and how to take a
dose of optimism.
Suppose you are depressed and the
mind refuses to grasp cheerful thoughts
when you attempt to focus on them.
A brisk walk in the open air will brush
away many despairing thoughts 1t
may be the tonic needed to bring the
physical reaction to optimism. You
are quite sure to return home with a
brighter vision. With this you begin
to see how things can be improved
Take plenty Of doses of fresh air. 1t
is one of the doses of optimism which
seldom fail to make things appear in
a favorable light.
II you are fond Of reading let that
be your dose of optimism. Choose a
book which Is witty. amusing in style
or data, a story which has a CHEEKY
viewpoint. Little Lord Fauntleroy was
such a gay little optimist that every
one who reads his adventurous career
gets a delicious does of optimism. Any
librarian can help suggest books Of
amusing types, should one be puzzled
what to get.
Sometimes the dose of optimism can
be taken in the form of amusement. II
one goes to the movies or the theater,
to some form of concert If music is a
delight. or to some other form of enter
tainment which leads the mind into
pleasant avenues, the dose of optimism
proves tonic.
Then there are persons who emanate
happiness. They may have a quiet way
of taking life without touching its
seamy side or of steering through
stormy weather without getting mental
ly upset. They have found the benefits
of optimism far excel those of less
happy attitudes, They are said to have
found the secret of happy life. They
strengthen ones faith in good and to
be with them sends one on his way re-
joicing.
When life seems dreary or oppressive
and ones outlook is dark make an ad-
venture in restorative tonlcs by trying
some of the suggestions offered. Under
the tonic effects of brightness and cheer
some curious torch within is lighted,
which shows even wee riffs in clouds of
trouble. Let optimism lead you into
the sunshine Of happiness.

TLIP the terrier had nothing to do
l. but think over his trouble which
had come about through chasing
L Peter Rabbit and almost running
into Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy had
promptly resented this with that famous
little scent gun of his, and now no one
would have anything to do with Flip
until he should have gotten rid OF that
unpleasant odor.
1T isn't fair" moaned Flip. "They
all think I didn't know any better than
to attack Jimmy Skunk when the fact
is 1 didn't see him at all until too
late. 1t wasn't my fault. 1t was
Peter Rabbits fault. He simply led
me into trouble If I could catch him
he never would have another chance
to play such trick
So he kept thinking and thinking
and little by little a new idea crept
into his troughts. Without really
knowing 1t he began to see things as
Peter Rabbit saw them. Always he
had delighted in chasing Peter when
ever he got chance, hoping to catch
him and shake him to death. He knew
that Peter couldn't fight. would be
helpless once he was caught, and that
there wasn't single reason why he
should want to kill Peter. Then he
began to wonder if it was merely ac-
cident that Peter had led him into
that trouble with Jimmy Skunk.
81 wonder" thought Flip. IF Peter
was smart enough to do that purpose
ly. Come to think it over I don't know
as I blame him if he did He had to
get away from me or be killed and he
knew it. So he lodged at just the
right minute and there was Jimmy
Skunk Just waiting for me to run into
him. If I hadn't chased Peter would
have had no trouble with JIMMY l
was simply led into that trouble. What
did I chase Peter for anyway! Just
for the fun of it. 1t was fun for me,
but I don't suppose it was fun for
Peter. Come to think Of it I wouldn't
like to have to depend On my heels
to save my life from some one with
whom I would stand no chance at all.
Peter had to run whether he wanted
to or not. 1t was run or be killed, so
he ran. had lot of fun while he
had a lot of fright Now that think
pie isn't so much fun after all. II
a lesson I'll never forget I'll leave
Peter Rabbit alone after this"
The worst of things must come to
an end. They always do. The time
came when Flip was allowed to return
to the house. He was no longer an out

may be excused from rising, a hostess
