LITTLE BENNY
By LEE PAPR.

Pop was smoking and thinking in his
private chair and ma started to look in
her sewing baskit, saying, There's a
whole pile Of your socks here that need
darning, they've been creeping up on
me like the tides of the sea, and the
ony way to keep them from accumulat-
ing any ferther Is to put a complete
end to them by getting them darned
and finished
A corporation lawyer couldn't Of
thawt that out any cleerer, pop said,
and ma said, And Furthermore I'm GO
ing to darn every last one of them rite
here and now this evening, before you
start asking me where your socks are.
And I'm going to sit here and watch
you with helpful werds and encourrag-
ing glances, pop said. And as the socks
may even sing you gay little snatches
of song to tighten your labors, and the
smoke from my special 20 cent cigar
will cerl upwerds about my beeming
face like blue incense mounting before
the shrine to patient wifely devotion,
he said.
That's very sweet thawt, Willylm,
and cant tell you how glad am you
mentioned incense, ma said. 1t Just
reminds me that this Is the last mite
of Lovey Darling's new picture, For
gotten Incense, and I wouldn't miss it
for werlds and it's just around at the

and wont take no for an anser, she
said.

Everyday Psychology
Remarkable Memories.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Sixty years ago psychology was called
mental philosophy. A better name
might have been "tales that are told. u
Mental philosophers did q lot OF spec
ulating and unraveling lot OF yarns.
To q present-day psychologist some OF
the things they had to say about mental
faculties sound like fish stories.
They had lot to say in those days
about that faculty called memory. And
they hunted up some doubtful records
from no less doubtful sources.
King Cyrus knew the names Of all his
soldiers. Themistocles knew all the cit
liens of Athens by name-more than
10000 individuals A certain DR.. Wallis
extracted the square root of num-
ber of So digitS, carrying his calculations
to 81 places. This he did while sleep
ing. What Is more, he remembered
this dream for 20 days before he did the
uncommonplace thing of recalling it.
Then there was a Corsican who could
repeat $4,000 names in the order In
which they were called of to him. Won
derful as these examples may seem, they
pale into insignif1cance compared with
the mental achievements of the librarian
to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He
could name the authors of all the books
in the dukes library, and tell how many
books. Strange as it seems, the libra
rian's name was Mogliabecchi.
The president of the Illinois State
Normal University in 1889 refers to such
stories as "a matter OF some interest" +"

had used the year before and whistled
with amusement when he found how
full of sticks and rubbish the Wrens
had packed it. He PROMPTLY opened
this and cleaned 1t out. Then he started
for the barn to get the new houses he
had made during the Winter. He wasn't
out of the Old Orchard before Mrs.
Winsome was at her old house going IN
to examine it inside and see that 1t had
been thoroughly cleaned out. There
wasn't even a straw from her old nest
which the Wrens had buried with sticks
and trash. She came out twittering
happily.
Presently Farmer Browns Boy re-
turned and for while he was busy
while the feathered folk looked on.
When at last he was through and left
the Old Orchard there were three new
houses there. Then once more there
was great excitement. Winsome has
tened to inspect each in turn, and so
did Bully and Mrs. Bully. There was
one that took Winsome'S fancy very
much indeed He went in and out OF
it half dozen times. He sat on the
perch by the entrance and called TO
Mrs. winsome. He didn't dare leave it
lest Bully and Mrs. Bully should take
possession. For long time he whistled
in vain. At last Mrs. Winsome flew
over there.
MY dear" he cried. "here is the very
place we want. Well never get better
one" Mrs. Winsome went inside. She
came out at once. "a good old house
always is better than a new one" she
said. "It has atmosphere. Well live
Just where we did last year."
She few back to the old house. Win
some didn't know what atmosphere
was, but he did know when Mrs. Win
some had made up her mind. Rather
disconsolately he followed her.

and once in it would be no easy matter
20 get him out. For few minutes Mrs.
Bully and Mrs Winsome fought while
Winsome did his best to get Bully out
Of the house.
After a few minutes the Bluebirds
gave up and Mrs. WinSome started
toward another house. In fash Mrs.
Bully darted ahead Of her and was in
the doorway when Mrs. Winsome ar
rived. Do what they would the Blue
birds couldn't get her out. When they
gave up and flew to the third house,
Bully was there. The Sparrows didn't
intend to allow the Bluebirds to have
house in that part Of the Old Orchard
if they could help it. At last Winsome
lost his temper completely. He got
Bully by the nape of his neck and
dragged him out bodily and the next
instant he was in the doorway himself.
He had possession of that house.
The screaming made by the Sparrows
had brought several Of their relatives
and the whole gang pitched on Mr.. and
Mrs. WinSone. OF course the other
feathered folk gathered to watch the
battle and encourage the Bluebirds.
Presently the racket brought Farmer
Browns Boy. At once the Sparrows few
OF to safe distance and looked on,
chattering and scolding noisily. Win
some and Mrs. Winsome merely flew up
in q tree and watched, for they knew
he was their friend
The first thing Farmer Browns Boy
did was to open the house where Bully
Rnd Mrs. Bully had begun their nest

house and put it up for you little pests"

Uncommon Sense
Brains Burglar Proof
BY JOHN BLAKE.

@HE man whose capital is behind
his ears doesn't need to worry,
providing he has enough of it.
| Il Mark Twain, careless about
money, trusted too much to a
business associate and lost the fortune
he had accumulated. or supposed he
had accumulated. But between his ears
was fun of ability that nobody could
steal.
Immediately he went to work again,
and when he died he had recouped the
fortune he lost.
A great many people discovered in
the last few years that even the most
careful investments were not proof
against certain conditions which re-
suited from various causes. But such
| of these people as had built up their
bank accounts by ability and care will
soon have as great or greater ones again.
Always there will be market for the
services of people who can do things
that must be done. They may lose
whatever equipment Is needed to do
their work, but as long as their minds
are as good as ever they can manage
to get new plants" and go ahead
| again.

book that the world would never for
get. Without the writing materials,
even, he could have dictated his book
to some one outside the bars, for 1t was
his brain, not pen and paper, that he
really needed.
I once knew a wealthy young man
who resolved to be painter He rented
an expensive studio in which he worked
| hard under really competent teachers
He went to Paris and to Florence and
Rome and Venice to look at the works
Of the great masters, and to copy them
as well as to study under able masters
Today he is still painting, but he has
found out, to his sorrow, that even the
will to paint, however untiring, Is not
enough.
IF you desire q store Of capital which
no burglar can steal, find out the job
for which you are best fitted, and store
In your mind all the knowledge of it you
can gather. There it is beyond the
reach Of thieves, proof against the raw
ages Of time.

Simple Egg Tricks.

Y ONG, long ago. people said. you
cannot make an egg stand on
end" but there are at least
IL three ways in which this can
be done. You may be able to
figure out other methods.
The simplest method is one which
legend tells us was used by Christopher
Columbus-to stand the egg after
cracking one end.
That way is hardly trick, Tor there
is no mystery about 1t.
Another method requires a pinch of
salt. a table with a white cloth, and
some friends with the patience to
watch. Pick up an egg and ask:
Can any Of you stand this egg on
end?"
It is not likely that they will be able
to do so.
Then place the egg on a spot where
(secretly) you have dropped little salt,
and you should be able to stand 1t on
end.
Practice the trick In advance. When
you perform it for friends, brush the
salt aside before they come too close,
in their efforts to learn how you did it.
Howard Thurston says that young
magician should not repeat his tricks
in front of the same audience.
If, by miSchance, your audience
should find out that you used salt, you
may puzzle them on another day with
a trick along the same lines. When an
egg is shaken thoroughly, the yolk and
the white are mixed, and the yolk
(Which is heavier) tends to sink to the
bottom. An egg thus treated can be
made to stand on end without the help
Of salt.
Let your friends try to stand an ordi-
nary egg on end; then produce an egg
which you have shaken and have con-
cealed somewhere, with broad end
down, and stand it up. Do not use
your pocket as hiding place for such
an egg-that might lead to an acci-
dentl
If you are skillful. you may be able to
spin hard-boiled egg; but I have
never heard of any one who could spin
fresh egg on end. Place half dozen
fresh eggs on a table and let your
friends try their luck at spinning them.
When no one is watching you, add a
hard-boiled egg to those on the table,

9TH Commandment
Opens TOMORROW

Heretofore the only approach to
such films as THE Seventh Com
mandment," opening tomorrow at
Herb Norris airdome, has been the
sex film shown to either men or
women only. In contradistinction
to such films THE Seventh Conf
mandment" is a powerful drama
graphically relating the most pow
erful story ever brought to the talk
ing screen. ...,
Amazing revelations Of the con-
sequences which follow in The wake
of fast life led by some youngsters
today are made in the course of this
drama and subjects so delicate they
have been seldom attempted Oh
either stage or screen, are brought
tearlessly into the open, withholding
or Suppressing nothing.
The Seventh Commandment" its
producers believe, should prove an
important factor in the great battle
now going on for healthier, saner

RAILROADS To
BUILD STATION

LOS ANGELES, June II. UP
The Southern Pacific, Union Pa
cific and Santa Fe railroads sur
rendered in their long fight against
erecting a S15,000000 Los Angeles
union station today by promising
early action on the gigantic prof.
ect.
In a Joint statement, A. D. Nc
Donald, president of the Southern
Pacific; S. T. Bledsoe, president Of
the Santa Fe, and Carl r. Gray,
president of the Union Pacific, said
they would abide in spirit with the
decision of the interstate commerce
commission Thursday, denying a
rehearing on the carriers protest.
"With the denial Of the appli-
cation for the rehearing by the
interstate commerce commission, -
the statement said, "the railroads
have determined not to attempt
further court proceedings, and have
so advised the California railroad
commission.
"In addition, the railroads are
working on tentative plan which
they will submit to the California
commission in the very near future
and which they believe will be en-
tirely satisfactory TO it, -
The three carriers had contested
the project since 1927 when the
terminal was ordered constructed
by the railroad commission. The
fight eventually reached the United
States supreme court.

NEGRO RUNNER
EQUALS MARK
FOR HUNDRED

SOLDIER FIELD, Chicago. June
! II. U.Pj-The fastest 100-yard dash
ever run by high school athlete
was paced off by Jesse Owens, 1.-the

finals of the National mterscholas-
/ tic meet today.
With the wind at his back, Owens
/ flashed down the cinder path in
"a seconds for the century, clip
ping the worlds high school record
by two-tenths of a second, the meet
record by three -tenthS of a second
and equalling the fastest time ever
made by any Splinter for the dis
lance.
The worlds record in any COM
petition is ga made by Frank
Wyckoff, Southern California, in
1880 and tied by several others.
Owens won by about two yards,
with Bob Grieve, Glen Ellyn, Ill,
second, Packard of Rockford, H.,
third, and Stroller, Hughes high,
Cincinnati. fourth, and all closely
punched behind the winner.
Jesse Owens, continued his spec
tacular sprinting by winning the
220-yard dash in 20.7 seconds, a new
worlds interscholastic and meet
record. The former worlds record
was oil seconds.
Owens won his third event, and
single handed accounted for 80
points for East Tech, Cleveland,
when he captured the broad jump.
His winning leap was "a feet * inch
but he had three jumps remaining
in which to try to set a new rec
ord. The record of "a feet $40
inches made by Ed Hamm, Loan
oake. Ark, in 1924.
Major John Griffits, Big Ten
commissioner of athletics, said it was
his personal opinion that there was
not enough tail wind to prevent
Owens record in the two dashes
from receiving official recognition.
The wind had died down when he
ran the 220-yard dash, and 1t SEEM
ed likely that his mark in the fur
long will be recognized.

this country. BY business I mean
the whole of commerce as well as
the whole of industry; by workers
mean all workers-the white collar
class as we'll as the men in over
alls; and by living wages mean
more than a bare subsistence level
i mean the wages Of decent liv-
ing"
Good wages will help business,
the President said, because decent
living, widely spread among our
125, 100000 people, eventually means
tia opening up to industry of the
richest market which the world has
known. 1t is the only way to util-
ize the so-called excess capacity Of
our industrial plants. The idea
is simply for employers to hire more
men to do the existing work by re-
ducing the work-hours Of each
mans week and at the same time
paying a living wage for the short
er week"
1t would be impossible for one
business alone to do this and sur
vive in competition, Mr.. Roosevelt
continued
But if all employers in each
trade now band themselves faith
fully in these modern guilds-with-
out exception-and agree TO act to-
gether and at once, none will be
hurt and millions of workers, so
long deprived of the right to earn
their bread by the sweat OF their
labor. can raise their heads again,
he said.
THE challenge of this law is
whether we can sink selfish inter-
est and present solid front against

1t was the same old Mr.. Roose-
welt who entrained at washington
for the trip. Smiling, and carrying
his cares of state lightly, he board
ed his private car to the cheers OF
dozens of admirers who huddled to-
gether in a downpour OF rain TO

and waving his Panama hat, he lefS
his private car and boarded an au-
tomobile to go to Groton to visit
