Everyday Psychology
The Science Of Living.
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

Psychology is like human being. In
either case, the more you find out about
your subject, the less you know about It,.
This comparison should be encouraging
rather than discouraging. Back in the
days when literary societies were held
in every red school house in the coun-
try the literate entertained the Hitter
ate by debating the question: Resolved,
that there is more pleasure IN pursuit
than in possession" AS / recall these
debates, the ayes generally had 1t.
So it Is with the pursuit of psychol-
ogy. The pursuers have it. Once you
know all about psychology, it becomes
dead subject, and you take up some
thing else, golf or chess, for example.
Psychology can never be known COM
pletely, because it is a living subject
It has to be, for 1t concerns living sub
jects. So we turn to the latest answer
to the what and why of psychology
Psychology is that science which tells
how and when human beings quit being
children and turn out to be adults. You
Will have to give the biologists credit
for making this discovery. Along about
1859. the sayants of nature started out
on this problem: What happens to a
tadpole before 1t becomes frog?'
That's the gist of psychology.
You are not merely making compari-
sons when you say that there is a lot OF
animality in humanity. You're stating
fact.

There comes a latticed jardiniere with

This permits air circulation about the
pot inside, and extra water drains off
readily. This means, of course, that
the jardiniere must stand on some sort
of saucer or plate. There are many
kinds of jardinieres made thus with
holes in the bottom like flower pots.
Other kinds, when used, should be
watche.. and frequently wiped out.

TWO MORE BANKS
TO PAY DEPOS|TORS
Departmental and Bright
wood Institutions Paying

While depositors crowded into two
suspended Washington banks today to
collect the first payment on their
claims. Acting Controller of the Cur

other defunct local banks would issue
payments as soon as money in hand
permits.
The Departmental Bank, 1925 Penn

Brightwood, Georgia and Colorado ave-
nues, are paying approximately $500
depositorS a total OF $375,000.
Two Other Institutions.
The International Exchange Bank,
Fifth and H streets, and the North
Capitol Savings Bank, at H and North
Capitol streets, are the two institutions
which Await said would make an ini-
tial payment on approved claims as
soon as enough money is collected.
All four banks closed last July.
The doors of both the Departmental
and Brightwood banks were opened
this morning at $3.50 O'Clock to dis
mately 100000 Is being paid to 3,444
depositors in the Departmental Bank,
while the Brightwood institution is dis
tributing checks totaling $155,000 to
about 1000.
To Be Open at Night.
To expedite distribution of the money,
the Departmental Bank will remain
open tonight and tomorrow night until
9 o'clock, resuming the regular hours
of from $3.50 to 5 beginning Monday.
The Bank of Brightwood will be open
until o'clock tonight and all day to-
morrow until 5.
A steady line of men and women
filed into both banks throughout this
morning, able to draw money for the
first time since the institutions closed
last July. At the Departmental deposi-
tors were being paid 80 per cent of
their claims, while at Brightwood 20
per cent was being paid. Additional

BANK IS GUARDED
IN HOLD-UP SCARE
Plot Reported Found After
Shooting of D. c. Man in
Charlotte, N. C.

Half a dozen headquarters detectives
stood guard at downtown bank today
following receipt Of information thought
to indicate the institution was scheduled
to be held up.
Admitting the information was in
definite. Inspector Frank S. w. Burke,
chief of detectives, declared the guard
would be maintained until he was con-
vinced there was no further need for it.
The shooting of Leslie (Shorty) VIII
liams during an alleged attempt to "beat
up" man in Charlotte, N. c., last Mon
day night led to discovery of the re-
puted hold-up plot, according to In
spector Burke.
Williams, who described himself as a
Washingtonian, was shot in the head
while allegedly assaulting Lee Buchanan,
Charlotte business man. The attack
was. planned, williams explained. accord
ing to Associated Press dispatches from
Charlotte, by a group Of "big-shot"
washington gamblers.
williams Questioned.
Mrs. Buchanan, the dispatches stated,
shot Williams when he allegedly at
tackled her husband with gun and a
blackjack. Williams, the dispatches
added, is recovering.
Williams was questioned yesterday
by Detective Sergt Frank o. Brass,
who was sent to Charlotte by Inspector
Burke. Two Washington men have
been arrested in Augusta, Ga, as a re-
suit of the Williams shooting. They
gave their names as Richard Young
and Fred A. Schellingham. A man
identifying himself as c. l. Hyams of
Charleston. S. c., was arrested with
them.
Brass investigation thus far has in
dicated, Inspector Burke said, that the
alleged plan to beat up" Buchanan
was connected in some way with either
gambling or narcotics.
Taking No Chances.
Neither Inspector Burke nor Charlotte
authorities would reveal the nature of
the information taken as an indication
plan was afoot to hold up the bank
We may be all wrong about it,
Inspector Burke said, "but we're going
to keep the bank guarded until we're
sure we're wrong"
The bank involved in the supposed
hold-up plot Is the downtown branch
of one Of Washington's largest flnan-
cial institutions, it was said.
