When One Makes Wish Come True
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

as the desire for comm unication with
Mars, for example, such minds are not
daunted. They work away with the IN
tent to make progress toward such
stupendous fulfillment, and to leave
steps in science whereby others IN tu-
tue generations may tread to gain the
priced end.
Inventors are continually making
wishes come true. They do not merely
fritter thoughts away: they put them to
use Today every homemaker is bene-
fitting by some such desires which have
been pushed ahead to make labor-Sav-
ing devices and contrivances Whlch
originally were just wishes In some per-
sons minds.
But we do not have to go so far af1eld
to prove the results which can become
realities through wishes put into action.
We all know boys and girls who were
determined to get higher education be
cause the craving of their wishes would
not let them stop short of fulflllment
Many Of these had ridden the horses
cf their young wishes up to the very
TOD of their chosen work.
Everyone has wishes. and they can
become fulf1llments just in proportion
to the power of persons to project their
thoughts ct into the world Of tangible
things. Everyone is doing this very
thing in little ways. A plan carried
out is a wish made manifest.

pond of Paddy the Beaver and all that
time his mouth had been watering. He
had grown hungrier and hungrier as
he watched those big birds, all the time
taking the greatest care to keep out of
their sight. At last he had been re-
warded by having one Of the younger
members of the flock, who had not yet
attained wisdom through experience,
come ashore and squat down right In
front of his hiding place.

but not discouraged, Reddy was on his
feet in an instant and leaped again.
This time his teeth closed on nothing
more than a mouthful of stiff wing
feathers. Reddy was beside himself
with rage This young Goose had had
the best of it so far, but he knew that
in the END he would win and have that
dinner he SO wanted. Then, as he once
more leaped in, he saw old Honker COM

and there Reddy lost his appetite.

wings and striking with his bill driven
by that long neck.
Now Reddy Fox is not a coward. No,
sir, he is not coward. For a few min
utes he fought his best, swapping and
slashing at that long snaky neck that
darted in and out and never was where
he thought it was. All the Geese had
gathered around by this time and such
a gabbling and honking you never
heard. 1t was bad enough to have to

If wishes were horses, beggars might
ride.
If turnips were watches, I'd wear one
at my side.
So runs the old rhyme, which has
many a grain of truth in it,
To be sure, wishes aren't horses, and
turnips aren't watches but the wish to
have either is the first step toward hav-
ing it.
OF course, in this generation, an
automobile would be wished for instead
of a horse, and watch of small size
to wear on the wrist would be chosen.
But the idea remains that mere wish
ing isn't enough to procure what one

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Projection.

Projection is a psychological term
used to designate the act of sidestep-
ping your personal conflicts by shifting
them onto someone else There is no
end of the ways this projecting may be
done. The following are the better
known sorts of projection
l. Prejudice.
2. Intolerance.
3. Cynicism.
A prejudice is a Judgment about
something without taking the trouble
to examine its merits or demerits. You
might define a prejudice as an attempt
to fortify a personally cherished belief
When you project by the way of preju
dice, you simply throw the question
aside with some slight excuse.
Intolerance is prejudice carried to
another degree. In this case you are
projecting a group of ideas-your set
tied standards or philosophy of life.
When you project by the way of intol-
erance you throw the question bodily
out of your system and fatty refuse to
consider it. Often you do a certain
amount of denouncing as you project.

The American Federation OF

Tax-Exempt Bonds" tomorrow
will say, in part:
"Al outstanding tax-exempt
bonds are owned by somebody.
They are tax-exempt regardless
of who owns them. If the rich
tax-dOdger who owns taxable Sc
curitieS desires to shift his in
veStment to tax-exempt bonds,
he can do 1t in one of two
ways.
"He can sell his taxable Sc

bonds from some one who now
owns them or buy new tax-ex-
empts when they are issued. In
either case there is no increase
in tax-exempt securities and no
decrease in taxable securities"

GAINS ARE LOST
AFTER EARLY
FURRY
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May 20 QN.SJ.
Weakness in special issues today
offset the stimulating effect on
the stock market of the over
night news Of the mobilization
Of the industrial and banking re-
sources of the nation on a war
time scale in an effort to turn the
business tide.
Stocks staged an initial run-up
with leaders like U. S. Steel, AL
lied Chemical. American Tele-
phone, Air Reduction, and Peoples
Gas showed gains of from to 2
points.
Most Gains Lost
Profittaking halted the advance
in the first hour and the list
eaSed from the highs. It was
then that special issues gave
ground abruptly.
international Telephone was
one, breaking sharply to new all
time low. Paramount was an
other to go through its previous
resistance point. Tobacco shares
were backward and the rails slug
gish.
This induced selling in the
general list and most of the early
gains were lost.
Oil UndertOne Firm
Oils continued to display a
firm undertone.
Johns Manville met buying on
the belief the company would
benefit from a building program,
expected to be part of the relief
campaign. Steel shares were bet
ter for this reason as well.
American Telephone ran up
against the shorts. Eastman
Kodak improved.
Tobacco shares were held back
by the sharp decline in cigarette
production in April.
