Studying Conditions at Home
BY LYDIA LIZ BARON WALKER.

when she goes out to cut, fit ana sew
She cannot work so efficiently If she
must do her Job surrounded by others
doing different tasks. So 1t is with q
child who studies at home. He or she
must have some room apart to study
In, or work at a great disadvantage.
There are some lessons which must
be learned by rote, such as certain lists
of words or figures, recitations, etc
Others-and these are the majority
must be understood and be mentally
grasped or there Is no real educational
value in them. The growing mind Is
often taxed to understand subject mat
ter even when working conditions are
at their best. To expect a child to
comprehend and become imbued with
information which is hard to under
stand under the best Of circumstances
when he has to listen to conversation,
radio or any distracting sounds Is
expecting more OF him than OF his
elders.
When q child fails to pass or falls
below an average standard, it is well
for parents to consider his home study
conditions and discover whether these
may not be at the root Of the matter.
Unless these conditions are favorable,
they certainly hamper his getting along,
even though they may not be totally
at fault. A child's mind is often slug
gish during some of his school years,
and it Is prone to wander, to trail along
on matters which are to him Of more
Importance than what is in a book.
Unless working conditions are good at
home, he cannot do his best when reci-
tation times come at school.
The modern cramped home quarters
are often such as to make 1t difficult
for a child to have the seclusion de-
sired for studying. A mother can so
plan times and supply room free from
interruptions during such times as will
permit the child to study under good
conditions although they may not be
ideal.
One way in which a child can be
helped to concentrate is to offer him
some incentive to apply his mind at
tentively and learn quickly. Have some
pleasure in store for him which will be
granted as soon as lessons are learned,
and his eagerness for it will act as a
stimulant. But do not think he can
be encouraged to rapid accomplishment
unless he is given the best possible
working conditions. Also do not expect
more of a child than he can do. Study
is hard work for the average child, and
it will but discourage him if his parents
belittle 1t.

more chicken has supplied Lotor with
a meal. Eggs are hunted and found,
berries and wild grapes vary the menu.
He Is an expert angler and will sit
patiently for hours for the fish to
come to him. On the shore he watches
and when a fish ventures near his
hand reaches down and nabs the f1nny
fellow.
The family stays together for q year
in order that the children may be
brought up properly. In hollow tree
or a comfortable cave four to six babies
are born the last Of April or first Of
May. They are blind and helpless,
whimper like little babies If left alone
and need to be watched carefully. AS
they grow older they communicate with
each other by a whistle or cry, which
is blood-curdling when you hear it for
the first time.
They are night workers. although
they do not pass up a good meal at
any time. A crotch Of a tree seems
to be a favorite place in which to take
a nap. The fat body fits into the
bumps and rough places as II it were
q downy couch. The heavy, coarse hair
has an under coat of fine soft fur
this may account for the need OF q
mattress He tucks his nose between
his front feet curls his tail about him
like a muff and settles down for an
afternoon snooze.
As a pet he is most amusing The
other animals do not have any peace
of mind once he is adopted into the
household. He can open doors and
drawers Loves glittering things and
hids them. Does not hesitate helping
himself to eggs and meat if the ice
box is left open. Birds and chickens
may as well resign themselves to the
thought of a quick and sudden death.
A habit of hiding things is handed
down to them through the thousands
of years gone before, and you may find
your best tie buried beneath a bone
that is fast becoming a part Of the
earth.
The raccoon is common in the wood
ed places of the United States, except
the high mountain ranges. Coon hunts
in the South are looked forward to
with much pleasure by young boys and
account for many little coons being
raised as pets.

Everyday Psychology
Personality Expression.
DY DR. Jesse ". sPRowLs.

We all have ways OF expressing our
personalities. Very few of us know how
we impress others. Perhaps it is best in
the long run that we 90 not know what
sort Of impression We make on others.
While we express ourselves in thousands
Of ways, depending On different situa-
tons, there are at least five ways that
apply to everybody.
First is general appearance, including
health, dress and physical posture.
Second are the modes Of expression,
such as voice. grammar, gesture.
Third Is general intelligence, includ-
ing information on current events, and
commonsense positions on common
place questions.
Fourth are the emotional expressions
including laughing, frowning, express
sions Of excitement, interests and so
forth.
Fifth Is social adaptation, which in
cludes attitudes toward the feelings of
others, the Withholding Of private opin-
ions, and the fine art Of keeping out Of
useless and controversial conversation.
If you inspect these five avenues OF
personality expression carefully, you will
soon begin to understand yourself as
well as others. You will at the SAM
time lose your respect for much of the
quackery about sudden personality
building.

AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTE.

our forefatheTs supposed, cure scrofula.
But the turtlehead .6 really beautiful
flower. Z grows. as a rule, beside or
practically In the streams, and It's pure
white, secretive, close-Hpped flowers are
strange and mysterious. 1t Is rare here
about.
A plant that passes by the unlovely
name Of swamp lousewort is one Of our
latest Autumn flowers, With its spires
of two-lipped yellow blossoms, it Is
really far from being as repulsive as
its name, which. once again, it owes to
the fancy Of our ancestors.
The most persistent bloomer Of all
the family, however, is the mullen.
am not referring to the dainty little
moth mullen, but to the common null
1owered mullen. According to the
books, it blossoms In July and August.
but mullen often blooms right up to
the time OF frost. Perhaps these are
seccnd bloomings, though do not
think so.
What like best about mullen, aside
from its leaves like great tabs Of sage
green velvet, Is its habit of converting
rather rubbishy waste ground into Q
high-grown garden Of natural beauty.
Mullen likes back yards and alleys, OLD
gravel pits, abandoned fields farm pas
ture lots and railroad entertainments
With its wheel-shaped flowers, it seems
scarcely recognizable as member of the
foxglove family. For that matter, the
name Of foxglove scarcely fits the plant
that it's applied to, and the truth seems
to be that it is corruption Of folk

fairies.

times, in warm Autumns, find the
purple sort still blooming in November
here. They prefer those sterile, sandy
meadows Of the low country-the Alex
andria and Bladensburg regions-and
whenever I think of them there comes
to mind the blue haze Of Autumn air,
the crickets chirping, the ruddy and
tawny look Of beard grass that shoots
up in the abandoned sterile fields in
Autumn. The yellow false foxgloves
are chiefly found in the woods and up

MUKDEN, Jan. 4. {F9-InveStiga- tion of the assault and painful beating of Culver Chamberlain, young United States Vice Consul, by three Japanese soldiers in one of the main streets of Mukden, has been begun by s. Morishirna, Jap anese Consul.
 Tn the assault upon Chamberlain, the young American was so badly beaten that his face was cut to the bone In two places. The matter was reported immediately to the Japan csc Consul by American Consul General Myrl Myers here. Myers told the Japanese official that the assault was entirely unprovoked."
 Chamberlain arrived at Mukden on his way to Harbin and was rid ing in the American ConSul's car which displayed the American flag and coat-of farms. On his way to the station to catch the early morn ing train for Harbin the car was halted at the border of the Japan csc railway town by three Japanese soldiers who were apparently form ing a patrol.
 Chamberlain aighted from the car, showed his diplomatic pass port and explaining his status in Chinese, which he speaks fluently. One Of the soldiers, he said, show ed a knowledge of Chinese. Cham berlain doesn't speak Japanese. The three soldiers quickly be- gan to beat him with their fists and he retreated inside the car.
 The soldiers followed and contin- ued to beat him. The chauffeur finally got the car underway and returned Chamberlain to the Con- sulate.
