While we are discussing the prob
lens Of the new deal, 1t seems peril
nent to call attention to how advance
ment of science in commerce and In
dustry add problems with which the
professors must cope. For example,
the bureau of fisheries of the Depart
ment Of Commerce has just discov-
cred a way to make oysters shuck
themselves. There are thousands of
men, and women. too. who annually
add to their incomes by shucking oys-
tiers along the rivers and at the ports
where the oyster boats come in. The
discovery of method for self-shuck-
ing of oysters will throw a good many
of them out Of jobs this winter, If the
plan works as the bureau says 1t will
work.

face This is due to the nature Of the
cats eyes.
The iris of cats eye can open to
such an extent that very, very dim
rays will pass through the pupil and
give the brain an image of what there
is to see. In a bright light the pupil
that it lets in only small part Of the
rays.
House cats are related to large, wild
members of the cat family-to lions and
tigers. for example. Lions and tigers
do most of their hunting at night, and
they possess eyes which are fitted for
seeing at that time.
Some house cats have green eyes,
others have orange. blue or yellow eyes
Many other furry animals and birds
are able to see their prey at night. Owls
are noted for this power. If an owl gets
into the bright sunshine. the intense
light will dazzle it and take away al
most all of its ability to see, but at night
the owl feels at home. Tests in dark
tower have proved that an owl can cap
ture more rats and mice in a night than
half dozen cats
In order to keep its eyes on moving
object. an owl must turn its head. The
eyes are fastened in place and cannot
be turned on their axis

You can learn much about the dis
position OF a colt by the shape Of his
head and the way he reacts to COM

All fine horses carry themselves well
and hold their heads high. The head
must not be too broad or too large be-
tween the eyes. nor too high between
the ears. Below the eyes. the face
should be narrow. Because the animal
must reach down long way to get its
food. the head and neck must be long
The ears tell many things. If they
lop or turn back, the creature Is
treacherous and has a sly disposition.
Ii they point upward or forward. this
indicates alertness. if laid back anger.
Quiverlng. sensitive ears denote high

The eyes are so placed that the horse
can see in three directlons-before him,
on the side and behind, the last to as

said that bright. hazel eyes are the pre-
ferred color for horses.
The nose is an efficient enemy detec-
tor Wild horses almost see with

thin-skinned and sensitive.
A warmer coat replaces the Summer
one. and where horses must hive in the
open all Winter. their coats become
very long and shaggy. The forelOCk and
name are useful in keeping the insects
away from the ANIMALS face, and the
tail is an efficient Swatter. Docking
a horses name and tail is cruel. and
leaves the poor creature at the mercy
of the persistent pests that are always
about.
The gait of horse is both natural
and acquired. They canter, trot. amble
and lope. They are deeply affectionate.

Everyday Psychology

Psychic Energy.

Human beings run on some sort of
energy. No one knows just what this
Is. whence ii comes. how it is expended,
what Transformation is made after it is
used. whether or not there is residue,
whether it may be used again and
again. But psychic energy there is.
Some persons have more of it than
others. This difference in the amount
of psychic energy is the first difference
you notice among individuals.
The energy question is often used to
rake up a similarity between men and
machines. It may be that a human be-
ing is machine and nothing else If
man is machine, his psychic energy
must come from without. in the same
manner that you fill the gas tank of an
automobile If man is not machine.
this psychic energy might possibly be
developed within the body
Here we have an open question which
strikes at the root OF psychology. Wherl
the psychologists tell US where We get
the psychic energy. we will come pretty
close TO an understanding of human
nature
My guess is that psychology will one
dav call in the experts in chemistry
These chamists talk about an energy
which comes from sunlight. food. exer-

make the same mistake regretted by

that the sun in September is frequently
quite as hot as in August.
Every one should realize that get
ting the perfect tan is not matter OF
hours, but of days, and sometimes OF
weeks. If We all remembered this we
should not see so many painful eX-
amples of blistered and tortured skin
which are always apparent after a
spell of brilliantly sunny weather.
We must remember in the first place
that the effect Of sunlight on the skin,
besides resulting in the change of color
(tanningD is to make it produce certain
chemical substances which are absorbed
in the blood stream. Produced in small
quantities these act as powerful tonicS
but If produced in excess they may
actually have toxic action. Speak
ing of blistered skin. we must bear in
mind that sun bathing is not for every
type Some types. especially the red
haired, lack the pigmentation III the
skin which makes it respond to sun
light by tanning. AS a consequence
an injudicious sun bath always brings
a train of painful skin troubles in its
wake.
The red haired and others who have
sensitive skins must be content to en-
Joy the sunshine beneath a shady hat
or a parasol and take every care TO
preserve their delicate compilations. But,
after all, as this type Of skin is al
ways SO charming when free Of tan, it
should not be disappointing task to
look after it. The skin may be further
protected through the application Of a
greaseless cream containing IS per cent
CT zinc oxide or bismuth subnitrate
Or a film of calomine lotion will keep
the skin cool and protected for hours.
1t is easy to apply and inexpensive
There are various commercial lotions,
oils and creams that are obtainable
from any drug store or cosmetic shop
Br1lnettes should use ample quantities
of oil. olive oil, suntan oil, cocoa butter
or cold cream to assist the sun tanning
without drying or burning the skin too
much. Fairer skins will tan more

piled in smaller quantities. but more
