have four toes, the hind ones three.
He has no tail to speak Of.
The Peruvian guinea has very long
hair and the AbysSinian has long ha1r
which stands out all over his body In
queer looking rosetteS. These two re-
quire too much attention. The short
haired ones are more easily raised and
cared for Besides the favorite Albino,
with his pink eyes, there are the brown
ones, red, fawn, gray. dark brown and
the glossy black ones.
Guineas are not so subject to disease
aS are many animals, and the only
trouble seems to be pneumonia, If there
is too much change in temperature.
Hearty appetite will cost you about rs
cents a month. He needs fresh water,
although he is not much of drinker
and he must have runway.
When the guinea Is two or three
months old she finds her mate. There
are five litters year, averaging three
young each The healthy mother can
be expected to have IL to Is husky little
CAVES each year. The babies are well
developed when they are born, their
eyes are opened, and thy have fine
coat of fur In a day or so they are
helping themselves to the food provided
for their mother In three weeks they
are weaned and made to seek their own
food. The girls and boys must be
separated. The older boys of the fam
ily feei so superior that they browbeat
the younger ones. and so it is best to
keen these apart.
The mothers get along nicely and
will nurse the babies of another mother,
who is taking her exercise or dining.
The hutches must be kept clean and
a fresh rug Of leaves or straw given
them every other day. Be sure to have
a piece of rock salt, dry grain and a
pan of water In their hutch. They love
hav, and must have green food.
The avowed enemy of the guinea pig
is the common rat. The hutches must
be made ratproof, as the rodent can
scent the food and grain for some dis
tance. He will gnaw through thick
boards and dig deep holes in order to
get to the little CAVES and devour them.

Peanuts. Sweet Potatoes.

Scoop the inside from six medium
sized raw sweet potatoes cut lengthwise
in halves, leaving barely enough on the
skin to make well shaped firm shell.
Boil the scooped part until tender in
sailed water, then drain, mash, and
whip lightly with half a cupful OF
sugar. one-third cupful of milk, three
tablespoonfuls of butter, two egg yolks
and one teaspoonfui of vanilla for fla
voring. Pile lightly into the uncooked
shells. Sprinkle well with finely chop
ped salted peanuts and bake in a hot
oven for about Is minutes, or until well
Drowned. Serve very hot as the main
dish for light luncheon. This same
idea may be carried out by using left
over baked sweet potatoes, and the re-
suit will be just as pleasing in appear

Impressions and Habits
BYLYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

TT sometimes seems to parents that
their children are very needless OF
instructions given them. II they
4 themselves look back, however,
they will find that there still re-
main vivid impressions OF certain spe-
cial rules or requests laid down by their
parents which, even to this day, remain
vivid enough and important enough to
be followed after the many years since
their childhood.
Some of these rules affected little
habits, things which did not seem worth
while, until, in later times, they came 10
appreciate that attention to small things
is important to the good order of a
house. and to the forming of habits that
will make life easier for themselves and
others as the days go by.
Are you particular not to slam doors,
but to close them quietly and securely?
If you shut them softly, is it not be-
cause, when you were little, mother

the door, or if you failed to shut 1t,
and made you shut the door properly?
What a comfort it is to find children

particular bit of work and see that the
door is properly shut. Neither grand
ma nor mother will slam the door.
Time has taught them, If their mother
failed to, that slamming doors is a
miserable habit.
One grown woman said to me only
yesterday: II can remember SO we'll
how it was impressed upon me as a
child, that I must never leave bureau
drawers partially shut. Even to this
day I will go upstairs and shut them,
if I remember they have not been
closed properly"

Little incidents. these, but they go
to prove that impressions which last
down through the years are often made
on children by parents who are help

is cheering thought when progress

EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.

go so far as to assert that we could
not be conscious Of anything unless we
we're able to recognize collisions of some
sort in this world of actual men and
affairs We would know nothing. And
that, of course, would mean the extermi-
nation of life.
So what is called the new psychology
undertakes to sketch the meaning of a
new ethics" The outline for this new
ethics" is somewhat as follows: Find
some way for reducing the collisions
among your own ideas. Once you dis
cover that the majority CT your con-
flicts originate in your own mind, you
will break the habit of projecting them
on your neighbors. And so it is assumed
that the new ethics" is the first step
toward the realization of the old ethics.

Louis knew, of course, bit even so
1t was difficult for her to keep from

He said, THE overprotected child

well-being. He has heard his parents
worry audibly over sniffies and tenn
peratures and sneezeS. He soon ini-

lowed to do things on his own. His
clothes are put on him, his food is cut

him. That makes him develop into a

him into a bully. If he can't do any
thing for himself, he will see to 1t that
some younger or more plant child will
do his bidding.
"Or he will grow SO tired of restraint
and constant hanging onto apron strings
that he will run away on his own.
In homes where meeting living ex-
penses is not the paramount problem
we are apt to find the overprotected
child Mothers, it seems must have
something to worry about. But why
take it out on a helpless child?"
Lois saw the sense of the remark and
resolved to be less motherly.

Ethics.

Ethics may for convenience be called
the science of keeping out of trouble.
Its only aim is to reduce the possibility
of collisions among men. An ideal

allied, promises universal peace.
One wonders if the ethical ideal can
ever be attained. This question. like
all life questions, has its psychological
moorings.
If modern psychology has approx
mately reached the foundation stones
of the house of mind, ethics as an ideal
picture CT human destiny is not the first
practical step.
Modern psychology says that the
essence of mental life is conflict. Some

DEMAND FOR BEAR SANCTUARY
 PREPOSTEROUS.

The demands made by Eastern conservationist organizations, backing John M Holzworth, New York big game hunter, for withdrawal of Admiralty Island from the National Forest domain and that it be set aside a sanctuary for brown bears are ndefensible. They are wrong in principle and un- founded by conditions that exist in the field Thus even if the principle were right, to be ignored has been done on more than one occasion in the past in Alaska matters, the creation of the proposed sanctuary would still be unnecessary and without justification.
 The brown bear in Alaska is fully protected to provide for perpetuation of the species It is in no danger of extermnation. Already more than 12,- GOO square miles of Alaska's domain have been set aside for him sanctuary In all the other por- tons of the Territory he may not be hunted except in an extremely limited season. and no person, resident or nonresident may legally kill more than two of the brutes in any season. He cannot be hunted for his hide and the hide of legally killed bear cannot be sold without violating the law Clearly he has every protection that any reasonable person can ask, and to demand more is prepoS- terous.
 Admiralty Island the desired sanctuary is the largest of Alexander Archipelago. It is the scene of considerable industrial development already and gives promise of even greater development in the future. The forests of spruce and henllock con stitute the major portion of the area embraced in l. Cameron and associates for supplies for large pulp and paper manufacturing plant to be constructed here. There is other supply of timber so located as to be economically available for that plant If the Government steps in and creates reservation out of the island it naturally follows that the timber cannot be harvested, and that part of the Cameron contract would have to be revoked And in that case there is little chance that the project would go through.
 This is the great danger in the sanctuary project. It threatens the future prosperity of this city, and would be disastrous to the entire Territory the greatest need of which is permanent industries employing workmen throughout the year.
 This fact ought to be emphasized to the Senate Committee Conservation of Wild Life Resources. Congress is interested in Alaska's development. It should not, and probably will not approve of any half baked scheme, based on foolish sentiment, or other equally untenabe reasoning, that will block all chances for that development

The Simple Village Maiden.

 Science sometimes has charming way of con- of Chicago faculty, preparing a thesis for his doc- torate, spent three years proving that the village maiden is as knowing, fashionable up-tO-date and mpudent the girl brought up in the big city. It like the scientific discovery that babies laugh and gurgle when they tickled and cry when they pinched When the thesis is published it's author may be out of little Illinois town told to keep away but else will look for pro- test. Neither the girls nor their parents will be surprised that the professor found the village maid wise and witty.
 Their blushes permanent their waves. They go to the talkies and copy the clothes worn by their favorite actresses, not by making them but by buying them in the smart village dress shop. Their hair cuts are la Gaynor Garbo, accord ing to the prevailing fancy in tresses and they sing all the current ooh, Aah' songs plugged on the radio by the Russ Columbos and Bng Crosbys. city bond salesman would not be able to tell by any of the native or acquired sales psychology at his command whether the damse kicking her was brought up in the neighborhood of Central Park the village pump. How could a college professor expect to find any difference?
 This particular professor probably did not know about the wonderful grammatical country girl who changed the title of the song he imagines sweet rustic maidens sang at church sociables-"Lips That Touch Liquor Shall Never Touch Mine" As pessi- mistic any city sophisticate, she put unwar- ranted Alas" at the beginning and changed the auxiliary to despairng will" That was long time ago. but village maidens ewsn then were matching city girls in what the professor calls liquor habits and morals" He is safe from objec- ton to this thesis by the small town lasses, but the city girls may seek revenge. They like to be known guileless creatures of simple tastes

AIDING THE FOX FARMERS.

AS Representative Frank H. Foster pointed out gate to Congress ought to have local support on measures designed to aid in the development of the Territory. He cited the bill introduced by Judge Wickersham to permit the fox farmers to obtain title to the land on which they have established their ranches, both on mainland tracts and on islands
 Fox farming constitutes of Alaska's newest industries It has experienced hard going for several years It has encountered many difficulties. Not the least of these has been the fact that the fox farmer has been forced to be tenant of the Gov ernment. He has not been able to acquire title to the land which his enterprise is located No matter if his investment is many times that re- quired for the orthodox farmer to obtain title to the land on which he has established himself, he has been forced to operate under lease.
 This is not healthy condition. Anyone who as the average fox rancher has done, establishes himself on the land, builds home and improves the acreage ought to be entitled to obtain patent to the ground. He shouldn't be subjected to the wtims of any landlord whether it be the Government or some private individual.
 The wickersham bill isn't ideal. It ought te authorize the fox farmer to prove up his clain in the same manner that the orthodox farmer does Possibly the Delegate feels that Congress would not be that liberal. However it is great improve ment over the present system and should have the support of all Alaskans.

A Vote Against Prohibition.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Prohibition has been condemned overwhelmingly by voters in Finland, if early returns from the election trustworthy. By an impressive majority the Films indorsed complete repeal of their laws against liquor Women voted as freely as men for repeal of the obnoxious law, and in Helsngfors the capital, more than 30 per cent of the votes cast were for outright repeal, not merely modified ton.
 The general vote in Finland is consultative, and it remains for Government to act on it, but this action certainty. Finland, the only nation besides the United States to attempt a rigid ban on all liquors, has found that hypocrisy was worse than occasional abuse of alcohol.
 Like country Finland found multitude of evils growing up with Prohibition Bootegging lawlessness have increased rapidly Crime has mount ed in the dry" period. The saloon has been moved into the home, as in the United States The law was plainly unenforcible.
 The decision of the Films appears eminently sensible It took courage for Finland, as for th: country, to attempt new experiment in socia legislation That experiment failed, and the Finn: had the courage to admit that failure?

A1New Locomotive.
T777.-77| n -7-II (MancheSter Guardian.)

The electrifcation of railways is an aim towards which the railway companies have for some time been planning It will be many years before their plans can be completely reealized and no doubt they will receive modification from the emergence of new inventions in the intervening time. There was, for example, the Drllmm battery which was tried the Irish Free State Railways. It claimed to store up electric energy in sufficient quantity and to discharge it in sufficient volume to carry a train over considerable journey. But little has been heard of it lately. Now there is news of a type of locomotive car which by means of a Diesel engine makes it's electric power. This has just received successful trial the London and North Eastern Railway at Newcastle. It carried 60 passengers and luggage and easily achieved a speed of over sixty miles hour. The running costs said to be less than half those of steam locomotion. It looks like an invention that will
 have great influence on railway development in
 face of the new road competition.

Seek Dry Law Harmony

oeth LOW AAal
 Now definite steps have been proposed to do something about Prohibition and the tariff.
 Chairman Raskob's proposal for a Prohibition referendum, without party commitment, either for or against repeal, surprised his col leagues at the National Committee meeting in Washington, in view of his own firm opposition to the dry law.
 It is true many drys did not ac- cept the referendum plan as any thing but a modified wet proposal, but at least Raskob's gesture di- vested the January committee ses- sion of much of the turmoil and bitterness displayed when it met last March.
 The Democratic tariff bill now pending is calculated likewise to bottle up hot Democratic words which otherwise might find their way into the Congressional Rec ord.
 There are Democratic Congress men who would like to tear the present tariff law into microscopic bits. and there are other Demo- cratic Congressmen who voted for that law, and have not changed their minds.
 With no public display of this disagreement, the new proposal un- dertakes to bridge the gap by merely declaring a broad party pol icy without going to omuch into de- tail.
