PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "a.
The strike action of the
transportation workers here is
challenging the National Labor
Beard. Milk, meat, bakery,
laundry deliveries are being stopped.
The heavy trucks that make long
distance deliveries stand idle in the
garages.
Subjected to tremendous pressure
from many sides over the Christmas
holidays, 10000 Philadelphia truck
drivers and other transportation
workers remained on strike. Their
walk-out is in support of the vic

Everyday Psychology
As You Like It.
By DE-. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

We all know something about how
it feels to have a pleasurable feeling
At the same time very few Of us know
little if anything about why we have
the pleasurable feeling.
Back In the ancient days, pleasure
was pointed out as the chief end and
reason for living. But isn't happiness
a state Of mind instead of something
In itself? II so, there isn't any such
thing as pleasure or happiness. You
may have to think twice to get the
point
Suppose we reason this way. Pain
is the positive factor or experience in
life. We can figure out the cause of
pain in most cases of painful experience
On the other hand, pleasure is not the
opposite of pain, as has so often been
said. Pleasure Is merely the absence
Of pain. And therein lies the reason
for much of the wonder that goes on in
this world about pleasure.
OF course, you may have to be some
sort of pessimist to get the point. All
pessimist savants have always said
there is no pleasure. Plato became
weary trying to figure out the why of
all the pain the world and declared
that hope. the longing for pleasure, was
nothing but a waking dream" Vol
taire pointed out that Happiness Is
but dream"
Can all this be true2 Are you mere
ly day-dreaming when you experience
happiness, pleasure? If you don't
think so. study carefully your next

amount or of quality. These food items
are examples of the reduced cost of
living. If incomes are diminished, it is
heartening to consider the reduced cost
Of living, which has its balancing effect
Of increasing the purchasing power of
what money one has.
The thoughtful person cannot but
consider that reduction in prices means
that producers and manufacturers re-
ceive less for their goods. But this is
by no means all loss, for they benefit
by lowered costs in buying, as well as
do others.
1t should be remembered that after
every war there is a period of adjust
ments which play havoc with living
conditions. financial and commercial
life. In the midst Of such period as
we have had. and are still having, ev-
erything which tends to diminish the
troubles should be hailed with hope and
pleasure. The reduced cost of living,

words, II you are one Of her family
then you should not accept the prize
any more than she as hostess would
But in that case. your score should not
even be counted up. If you are a

ever prize your score wins, exactly as
is any other guest.

the other night, and during the eve
ming one Of the guests, who lived in
the neighborhood, asked us to come to
a party at her house next week. I ac-
cepted at the time. Should write to
her now and confirm what said?"
Answer: No. A verbal invitation
does not have to be answered in writ
ing. If you have any reason to be-
lieve your hostess absentminded, you
might telephone on the day of the
party and ask If you are expected.

later, four-year-old brother Of mine
who had heard the tale, asked me,
Ray, did you really swallow dog?"
Tacks, pins. nails and other metal
objects form poor diet; and it is the
duty Of older folk to keep them out Of
the reach of babies. I know that that
is hard to do but just the same you
cannot blame the baby If he swallows
such things. The poor little fellow is
learning about the world.
Another serious danger Is any pan
or bucket filled with hot water or other
liquid. Some of the saddest of all acci-
dents are those which have brought
about the scalding of babies.
A bucket of hot water should not be
placed on the floor If there is a baby
in the room, or If baby can crawl or
toddle from any other room to the
place of danger.

Up and down the tree trunk he goes
Eggs for breakfast, grublets for dinner

more could a chickadee ask? without
birds there would be no trees, and
without trees there would be no birds
What an unhappy place this world
would be! There Is no greater friend
to farmer or tree than the chickadee.
He iso called the foe Of the canker-
worm moth. She lays thousands of
eggs on fruit trees. Little black-cap Is
especially fond Of eggs, and it is said
upon good authority that he consumes
$500 Of them daily, or 138,750 every
three weeks. To the orchardist this Is
an encouraging record.
In the Winter the cheerful little
fellow races up and down the tree
twig He Is a thorough worker and
leaves not a pest once he passes that
way. Weed seeds and ptne-cone nuts
how he loves them!
In the very early Spring the gay little
bachelor decides to wed. Full well he
knows he can support family, and a
large one. He sings a sweet little song
to a chickadee maiden and right away
they are house hunting. At first they
decide to rent: they can get 1t "for a
song" Later they think It Is best to
build, and Mrs, Chickadee. a very clever
carpenter, goes to work at once. She
selects q site with an exposure pro-
tected from beating rains and with
wood easy to drill. After she has con-
structed the nursery, she looks about
for material with which to make soft
mattress The fuzz from ferns, the
down from mullen, moss to make it
springy and give 1t body, and, would you
believe it, rabbits hair for luck! What
else could it be for? The material is
woven into the finest Of felt, and on
this are placed the five to seven lilac
tinted eggs. In this very warm nur-
sery the mother takes her place, and
her husband, nearby, keeps up q steady
conversation with her. When she de-
cides to join him for o meal or exer-
else she covers the eggs carefully with
a warm blanket.
The first children demand Juicy,
easily digested caterpillars, soft tender
worms and bits Of tasty grubs. Seven
mouths to I'LL, but the parents are equal
to the demand. BY the time the first
children can take care of themselves
Father Chickadee has rented another
house for the second set of children.
Study the ways Of this happy friend
He sings at his work, makes point Of
exercising to keep At, and turns hand
springs over his pine cones. He does
stunts to keep his circulation good and
attends strictly to business during work
ing hours. He Is sociable with his
neighbors, and

He really had very little to grumble

You know the worst grumblers are

You ought to be ashamed of your
self, Peter Rabbit! You ought to be

OF our neighbors. I'm tired Of hearing

Just as If we couldn't dig our way

it Is! Shame on you, Peter Rabbit"
retorted little Mrs. Peter
"And I'm hungry" continued Peter.
I'm hungry and there isn't bite to
