Everyday Psychology
What Is a Dream p?
By DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.

In 1900 one of the worlds greatest
scholars declared that the work OF the
twentieth century was none other tnan
that of solving the mystery OF dreams.
When you really give little time TO
that pronouncement. you are nKely 10
find yourself in agreement.
What is dream? combination OF
memories. One memory may date back
to the third year of your life, even
though you are 10, 20, 40 or 70 years
cid Another belongs to yesterday: 1t
may be that every dream you nave
ever had is nothing other than short
hand account of all your yesterdays.
Call your latest dream new edition OF
ycur biography-revised and enlarged. |.
The copyright privileges expire IN "a
hours. And that word expire leads me
to quote from one of the worlds great
est students of the dream: Every sleep
is dying for the day." AS Shakespeare
would say, Deaths second self.
Here's another idea. Did you ever
have a dream in which some moral or
ethical question was involved? II you
have, you must be rare specimen OF
humanity. Such dreams do come, but
not often. This biography called
dream is a shorthand account OF your
pure ego. All the other folks in dream
are merely stage hands. Something to
dream about. nothing to dream with.

THIS is Jesus recognition of the aver
age man, the two-talent man. He
has just been commencing the Ave
talent man. the man Of superlative tai
ent. And now, using precisely the
same words, He commends the man of
ordinary ability This man did what he
could, and the man Of exceptional en-
dowment did no more.
The world measures success by the
bulkiness and obtrusiveness of achieve
metts. but in the mind Of the Master
1t Is not how much We accomplish, but
how faithful We are. He recognizes the
dignity of the ordinary man and praises
his faithfulness in commonplace service.
Great Is the debt the world owes to
the common man. Upon his shoulders
rests the bulk of the worlds burdens.
It Is mostly by his hands that the
worlds wealth is produced 1t is very
largely by his munificence that the
worlds benevolent institutions are sup
ported. In all nations he constitutes the
bulwark of national integrity and honor.
He Is the mainstay of the worlds peace.
The average man Is for the most part
opposed to violence and bloodshed.
Kings and military lords have been the
bloodshedders of the ages.

The response Of Mr.. jackson was
classic and expressed his republican
feelings. Said he: The simplicity of
our system of government forbids it.
Every monument erected to perpetuate
the memory of our heroes and statesmen
ought to bear evidence of the economy
and simplicity of our republican insti-
tutions and of the plainness of our re-
publican citizens. who are the sover-
eigns OF our glorious Union and whose
virtue 1t Is to perpetuate it. True vir-

that form the bone and sinew of our
confederacy. For these reasons I can
not accept the honor you and the presi-

permit my remains TO be the first in
these United States to be deposited In
sarcophagus made for an emperor

God bless the ordinary man. BY
his fidelity and faithfulness he has put
the world greatly in his debt. We
ought to raise memorial to him and

Trochilus colubris.
T UMMING BIRDS are our fairies
OF the air. They are friendly
l. little sprites that arrive in
i / May from the tropics and re-
main until October. 1t is not
unusual for these wee travellers to join
a family party sitting on flower
covered porch and sip from the flowers
held in your hand They are trusting
and fearless, paying little attention to
those about them, unless an enemy
happens to cross their path, then woe
to the intruder.
No one can be mistaken about iden-
tification with these birds. They are
the smallest and most exquisite we have.
The males have a bright metallic
glowing metallic red that glows with
brilliant orange in one light and deep
red in another. The sides are green
above and grayish underneath. A
border of white outlines the ruby throat
let. The wings and tail are the dark
est, having ruby-purple hue, and the
outer feathers are white tipped. The
bill is long and needle sharp, the eyes
very bright The humming bird ladies
are more modestly dressed and do not
have the lovely neck decoration. Their
wings are black tipped, edged with
white.
These wee fairies arrive in May from
Central America and may be seen
throughout the Summer from Northern
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
When counting the wedding garments
of the young suitors are most exquisite
and are in contrast to somber gowns
worn by the humming bird maidens.
However. they find a conspicuous perch
ing place. something male never does
in this family, and coyiy preen their
plumage, pretending they are uncon-
cerned over the loving advances of their
gorgeously attired lovers.
The nest is work of art. 1t is so
cleverly saddled to the limb of a tree
and so built to initiate the lichen-cov-
cred knots nearby that it is almost
impossible to distinguish the nest. The
outside is made of bark. moss and lichen,
sewed together with spider webs. while
the inside is quilted with the fluff
from cattails, the fuzz of plants and
the down from leaves. An elm leaf
would prove large enough for the roof.
In this dainty cradle, scarcely larger
than thimble. two white eggs are laid.

The Old Gardener Says:

It is in July that the squash
borer does its greatest damage.
This is a very difficult insect to
control because the damage is
done by grubs which tunnel
their way through the stems Of
the plants, interfering with the
proper flow of nourishment to
the leaves. which finally wilt and
die. The adult borer has an
orange colored body with wings
of a greenish color. It is hard
to combat. but the eggs and
freshly Matched larvae can be
disposed of by the use of heavy
applications of an arsenical or
nicotine spray directed to the
part of the plant nearest the
roots. The nicotine spray IS
especially effective because it
kills both the eggs and larvae
with which it comes in contact.
Spraying should be done fire.
quently. and preferably by means
of a spray pump which will ap-
ply the liquid with considerable
force. Much can be done to
save infected plants by burying
the stems at intervals so that
new roots will be formed.

A MONG those who visited me last
n month on the Enchanted Island
\ (Which is part of Chicago's
\ fair) we're Roberta Bauer, II,
and her 8-year-old brother,

and her 8-year-old brother,
Arlen.
II was reading your story called 'Ad-
venture of the Northland,'" said Ro-
berta, "and I noticed that the girl in
it had my name, and the boys name
was almost the same as my brothers.!
I was glad to meet a Roberta in real
life, and we had long and interesting
chat together. In the late afternoon
took her and her little brother for a
ride on the miniature railroad train
which runs around the childrens part
of the fair. During the ride the girl
leaned over and said II feel just as II
I we're in a story book!"
I also had talk with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bauer. Il started reading the Corner
long before Roberta did" Mr.. Bauer
told me.
Another visitor was the mother of
Sylvester McLaurin, jr.
Sylvester couldn't come to the fair"
said Mrs. McLaurin, but he asked me
to be sure to see you. In fact. he told
me that I must not return from the
fair unless had seen you! He keeps
scrapbook of the Corner stories, and is
an extremely faithful reader"
gave Mrs. McLaurin an inscribed
leaflet to take to her little son with my
greetings and good wishes.
Still another visitor was a science
teacher who said that ever so many of
her pupils have been clipping the Cor
ner from the paper to take to school,.
Usually" she remarked, they come
rushing in with the clippings and hand
them to me even before they take their
seats. The science articles fit in with
our studies"
The science teacher suggested that
provide a series of articles about pre-
cious stones diamonds, rubies and the
like-and I told her that would try
to do so during the coming Autumn.
Now my meetings with readers at a
Century of Progress are over, and so is
the second series of articles about it. I
hope that all those who tried to find
me at the fair were able to do so. I
made the directions as clear as could,
and I was there each Thursday after

Neighborly Plan.

If you and your neighbor are both
very busy women. there is a plan which
will make 1t possible for each one of
you to have free Saturday morning
every other week. On one Saturday
your neighbor may do the baking for
both of you. and on the following Sat-
urday you may do it. The one who
bakeS should decide what to bake This
arrangement will save time and gas
for both and will afford a little re-
lease from the routine of cooking.

Care of Shoes.

Rundown heels should be built up be-
fore they are badly worn, and shoes
should be resoled before they become
worn through. This is a wise economy.
Light shoes which are too discolored to
clean we'll may be worn much longer
if they are dyed darker color. The
life of shoes is also prolonged If they
are waterproofed. Wooden or metal
shoetreeS inserted in the shoes as soon
as shoes are removed from the feet
help to keep the shoes in shape.
