Uncommon Sense

BY JOHN BLAKE.

TINE unhappiest people in the
world are the victims OF sus-
picion. have known dozens
of them, 1t seemed always to
be their conviction that those
with whom they associated were trying.
In some diabolical fashion, to under
mine them, to take their jobs away
from them, or to undermine them with
their employers.
I I remember one time I was passing
a carpenter shop, and stopped to watch
a rather clumsy craftsman building
dog kennel I was interested in his
method Of working, which was extremely
sloppy, and stood gazing at him I'LL ne

I could have told him that his 20
years hadn't given him very much apti-

decided to build a city near the east
ern end of the Gulf of Finland. The
place chosen was on low, marShy
ground and the Neva River flowed
through it. Because of the branching
OF the river several islands had been
formed. The work of building on such
low ground was very hard, and SO many
men died while it was being done that
the city Is said to have been built on
bones"
For more than two centuries the city
was known as St. Petersburg and
served as the capital of Russia. Dur
ing the World War the name was
changed to Petrograd (meaning Peters
TOWN.. because the former name
sounded too German.
In 1924, after the death of Nicolai
Lenin. the name was changed to Lenin-
grad in his honor Lenin was the lead
ing figure in the bolshevist revolution.
While was in Leningrad. in 1880, it
seemed to me like living in house
that was being repaired. On every
hand were torn-up streets. Men were
at work painting buildings, tearing
them down and and setting up new
ones. Most of the streets were Of the
cobblestone type They made rough

something is wrong, and you have then
no play to make it. It Is a Moltke tech

Everyday Psychology
Why It Is Hard to Think.
BY DR.. JESSE ". SPnOWLA

Why is thinking the most difficult e.
all the mental processes? The ''think-
ing cap" is small. It's the latest Of all
the mental equipment from the stand
point of evolution. There are more
possible mishaps TO this machinery than
to any other of the human ways for
getting on in the world Of adjustment.
The thinking machinery, If such 1t may
be called, is delicate and complex-ex-
ceedingly so And the feelings or emo
tions have a habit of getting In its
way.
Superstitions are perhaps the most
important of all the handicaps to
thinking. The bulk of the worlds ira
dition is fashioned on the old warp Of
unjustifable beliefs. Then the prob
lens that confront one in these days
are complex. It takes time and effort
to analyze them. Analysis is the Sec
ond handicap.
Next comes doubt, the offspring Of
thwarted hopes and blighted ambitions.
Doubt is generator and in one sense q
spur to thinking. But just as often it
acts as a brake on the wheels that pro-
mote the elimination of erroneous ideas.
Dogma comes next. It's hard to get
by this handicap. Most people cannot
summon the courage to fly in the face
of what their fellows hold to be eter-
nally true.

and the right ones to trump IN the
process of shortening the declarer's
trump. The grand .coup consists, as
you know, in trumping top cards so as
to reduce declarer's trumps to equality
in number with those of the opponent
over who you hold 2 tenace, but whose
trump honor you cannot capture by
leading through it because dummy has
no more trumps to lead. The appar-
emily protected honor can therefore
only be captured by forcing that player
to play a trump at a late stage ahead
of the declarer because he has nothing
else to play. It is form of strip play.
It must be correctly timed, SO that the
lead Is In the right hand at the critical
moment for slaughtering the trump

Reddy Fox Is Repaid.
Or good or Ill whate'er you do
In time will be repaid to you.
Old Mother Nature.

~ FTEN we are repaid for things
we do, but do not know It,
Sometimes 1t is SO long after
~. a deed Is done that the whole
matter has been forgotten
But il we live long enough we are In the
end almost always repaid.
Reddy Fox to save his own life had
led a certain Dog into a forgotten trap:
He hadn't wanted to do 1t, but it had
seemed the only way he could escape.
Then Reddy had told Mrs. Reddy what
he had done and together they had
planned to take help to that Dog. They
han enticed Bowser the Hound to chase
them and had led him straight to that
trap and its victim. Bowser, in turn,
had led his master there, and SO the
poor Dog had been saved from cruel
death.
In time the cruelty hurt paw Of that
Dog had healed. There was a little
stiffness in it, but not enough to inter-
fere with his running. So came the late
Autumn and with 1t the hunting sea-
son. BY this time Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy had quite forgotten the incident
Of the trapped Dog. There were too
many other things to think Of these
days. Hunters with terrible guns and
Dogs to help them were abroad every
day and the Foxes all through that dis
trict were being hunted as never before
So long as they remained on Farmer
Browns land Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
were safe, for no hunting was allowed
there. But when they were off OF his
land they had to have their wits work
ing every minute. They had been told
that this year there was a new Dog
running Foxes and that he was not
only young and swift, but had won-
derful nose and was too wise in the
tricks of Foxes to be easily fooled. 1t
got so that the mere sound of his voice
on a trail would frighten a Fox into
seeking his hole or hole at once, a
thing no Fox likes to do, and does only
when all other tricks fail.
They had been told of this Dog and
they had heard his voice in the distance
as he followed others. but they had
given no special attention to him. To
them he was just another Dog to be
outsmarted if he bothered them. And
then very early one morning Mrs. Red
dy heard him on her trail. She was
some distance from home in the Old
Pasture and she had no intention of
going there. She would give him
good run, then fool him and break the
trail
But it was Mrs Reddy who was
fooled. Trick after trick she tried only
TO have that Dog work out the trail and
soon be in full cry after her. She began

Reddy would take her place and run
while she rested. If he was unable to
get rid of that Dog she would change

own cooking, washing and

AT night my fingers feel stiff
and my hands look rough and red. No
matter how I wash them they never
appear smooth and clean. Can you
help me and give me simple and
inexpensive cream or lotion to use on
them regularly? MRS. l.. 5. E.
Answer-You probably have your
hands in water too much during the
day. Try using rubber gloves for wet
tasks and cotton gloves of busting and
other dry work. After cleansing with
soap and water thoroughly rinse well
and dry. Then rub your hands through
dry cornmeal or bran Mix together
the following ingredients and place IN
a large bottle handy and use it several
times during the day after washing the
hands: One ounce honey, one ounce
glycerin, one ounce cologne water, SIX
ounces rosewater, one-half ounce lemon
juice one teaspoonful borax. Dissolve
the borax in the rosewater, add the
honey and glycerin, then the cologne
water. Shake well. Rubbing the hands
with a cold, boiled potato after wash
ing with warm water and mild soap
will soften and refine them to a GER
tain extent. Once a week give your
nails a thorough manicure and twice
a week give your hands, arms and
elbows a thorough massage treatment
Use good oily massage cream or warm
oil for the treatment. If you will send
a self addressed, stamped envelope and
ask for my leaflet "Beautifying the
Hands and Arms" feel sure that you
will find 1t helpful. Remember that
hands show age more quickly than the
face in many cases. Protect them by
all means when busy with household
