Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Awaking on Time.

Some persons are able to go to sleep
setting a time when they shall awake
and they awake within very few
moments of tho appointed time. The
late Ebert Hubbard. fer example, was
able to recline in a Pullman chair and
announce that he would sleep for 1C
minutes. When the 10 minutes had
passed he was awake The late Will
liam Jennings Bryan is reported te
have been able to do the same thing
How Is it possible to keep tab on
the passing OF time when asleep. Since
there is no proved theory for it,
feel free to offer my own.
don't believe that these represent
cases of real sleep. AS a general
thing we go to sleep in sections.
mean by this that we attend to fewer
and fewer things as we fall to sleep
To put it in other words, we attend
from more and more things as We &c
to sleep. To put it in other words
we narrow the range Of attention as
we go to sleep This process is q
gradual one. The end-results of the
process are highly relative. Perhaps
we are never entirely asleep, never
entirely awake.
1t is possible then for busy men
who have lived a life of keeping ap-
pointments to get the habit Of elm
mating every other section Of con-
sciousness except the importance OF
being on time. My conclusion. there
fore, is that the man who has &C
quired the ability to waken on time
has acquired the habit of going to
sleep in all but one respect-the con-
sciousneSs of an appointed time.

a black coat Dismay filled her heart.
No one that Betty Bear knew wore a
black coat like that but Mother Bear.
Now she would be caught and get a
spanking. She wanted to hide. But
hiding would be useless, for Mother
Bear would discover that she wasn't in
that tree and she would get spanking
anyway. Probably Mother had discov-
cred it already. Betty Bear glanced
down at that ant hill. Perhaps when
Mother Bear saw that she would forget
about that disobedience. Perhaps she
would be so pleased to see that ant hill
she would overlook her naughtiness.
She started forward again, but slowly
this time.
Mother" she called, come see what
have found"
At the sound of her voice a head
was thrust out from behind bush.
Betty Bears small heart seemed to stop
beating for an instant. She had made
a mistake. a dreadful mistake. That
head wasn't mothers. It was Bears
head. but not mothers. She saw sud
den gleam appear In the eyes OF this
stranger Bear 'and it wasn't pleasant
gleam. 1t was a hungry gleam and a
gleam of satisfaction. 1t was gleam
that sent little chills of fear racing all
over wee Betty Bear. The stranger
began to shuttle toward her.
oh, gasped Betty Bear in dreadful
fright What should she do? Climb!
That was it. She would climb tree.
She turned to the nearest one and
scrambled up faster than she had ever
climbed before. She climbed just as
high as she could and then looked
down. The strange Bear was coming
straight to that tree.

Caddis Fly.

TINE caddis flys children dwell in
shiny houses, which they take
about with them everywhere
i they 20, and add to the front Of
the dwelling as the occupant
gets more portly. Besides being home,
it is a silk lined garment. The young
caddis fly, when stepping from his egg
shell, finds that his 'tummy" IS ex-
tremely tender and that he must have
some protection from all the enemies
swimming about him.
Ycu should inspect the floor OF q
stream carefully. What appears to be
small group Of tiny pebbles is the well
constructed home of one of these build
ers Some have log cabins made OF wee
twigs, and shell homes are very lovely,
indeed The interior always has silken
drapery.
The householder can leave his house
at will an advantage over the snail. II
an enemy gets too inquisitive, the caddis
worm walks out either the front door
or the back one, depending on which
one the intruder is trying to enter.
| Then, on six sturdy legs, he moves
vigorously He appears to have tassels
along the segments Of his body, but
they are gills When he Is calm again,
he goes to work and spins some water
proof silk. picks up pebble or sticks,
sews them together into a ring and
steps into the girdle. Material is added
until he again has an armored suit.
The caddie worm is q vegetarian. He
grows plump on this diet and avoids all
encounters with the hungry f1sh about
him for several months. When 1t Is
time for him to transform. he moves an
open mesh portiere for the two doors
| so that water can flow through the
dwelling The house has already been
anchored to the stem Ct water plant.
In short time the caddis fly nymph,
still in his silk-lined caravan, climbs up
the stem Then he cuts his way
through the silken curtains and dis
cards his old shelter for good. The
old skin splits and the liberated one
now pulls away, What a surprise! A
winged fairy steps forth. waits few
seconds for the beautiful gauzy wings
to dry, and off he goes in search Of his
mate.
He loves the bright lights and is q
fire worshiper. Many a caddis fly has
lost his life investigating a fame. The
winged insects are dull brown or gray.

Two no trumps should be bid on the first
response instead Of two clubs. After
hearing four diamonds from the opener,
he knows that there is no ace against
them. The original no-trump bid
promises at least K in clubs. The
hand may be a complete misf1t in dia-
monds, but it is not misflt in clubs. II
clubs are trumps, the diamond suit will
furnish discards of major-suit losers.
At worst a f1nesse may be needed IN
order to avoid losing any tricks in hearts
or spades. The only loser is likely to
be in clubs. There will be a finesse
against the queen. presumably, but that
should be the only loser unless there
is ghastly massing Of trumps In one
of the enemy's hands. If clubs are
divided 3-3 amcng them and the flnesse
wins. the hand may deliver grand slam
in clubs. Responder, therefore, should
take definite action by virtue of his
partners sudden slam-try and bid six
clubs. His ace and two kings justify
him fully. Four no trumps Is posi-
tive sign-off which opener will surely
pass. Five clubs is also nearly sure to
be passed or denied and, since 1t might
be taken for a four-card suit bid as a
dubious slam acceptance and also In
denial of diamonds, this bid would RUE
out all chance of getting to grand
slam if the material were there for it.
By bidding six. he definitely shows
that his club suit is CT not less than
five cards, and that his hand contains
an ace and two kings. or at any rate
two primary tricks, one of them an ace

can be discarded on them, there should
be finesse in one or maybe both. In
match point play the slam should be

~ ETTY BEAR scampered as fast

She would just make sure if that mound

1t was an ant hill. Betty Bear knew
that the instant she reached it. for she

three with her long tongue. And right
then and there she forgot everything
but those ants. She forgot she had
disobeyed She forgot that she was
going to run right back to that tree as
soon as she had made sure about that
mound. Here were ants. and she did
like ants. She dug a paw into the top
of that nest just as she had seen mother
do a day or so before. Out poured a
stream of angry ants to find out what
the trouble was. They covered her
little paws in no time. She swept them
of with her tongue.

were so outstanding, their pedigrees were re-
