Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Speech.

0PSSSA'
CTUDY language how you will, it Is,
as the founder Of behaviorism
tells us, matter of habit-formation
The language you use tells nothing
about your racial connections, but a
great deal about your linguistic sur
roundings. Language-habits are so
gradually acquired that we find 1t hard
to believe that they were not born
within us as sort of racial heritage.
Why does the typical New Englander
possess dialect different from that
of the typical South Carolinan? Race
will never explain it, for both belong
to the same stock. Habit Is the
answer. And habit is nothing other
than behavior patterns acquired In
particular set of surroundings. Ip the
case of speech, the surroundings con-
cerned are your friends and acquaint-
ances.
Another aspect of the behavioristic
doctrine Is the fact that speech is q
form of muscular action, very COM
plex. Of course.
It is possible to go to a ball game
and come home with husky voice,
although you haven't once Joined in
the cheering. You heard the other
fans. This was a stimulus that tended
to exercise your own vocal apparatus.
The stretching and pulling Of the
muscles went on unknown to you.
Your husky voice is the evidence that
you were responding just the same.
The stimulus response formula Of BE-
haviorism seems to hold good.

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
Eastern Chipmunk.
Tamias stratus.

VI YOU see q gay little creature
that looks like the small edition
of a tree squirrel. tripping gayly
i along q stone fence. or in the
vicinity of nut tree, the chances
are it Is our little friendly chipmunk.
Because he Is too small to interest
hunters, Chippy has had his own
way among men for so long he looks
upon them as friends and he
loves to make new acquaintances.
especially those who have mysterious
pockets filled with nuts.
Although the chipmunks range
over the greater part Of North Amer
lea, you will not find them where
there are great stretches Of gloomy
forests. They are sun lovers and
are most happy in rocky pastures.
shrubby fields and where there are
long lines of fences, either stone,
snake or hedgerows. Where there
are scattered groups Of bircheS, oaks
and chestnuts you are sure to see
them.
A chipmunk is about inches
long when fully grown. He has
trim, plump body covered with short
hairs. His general color is rusty
brown In Summer. a more reddish
brown in Spring. There are five
black stripes and two light-colored
ones on his back, and his under
parts are whitish. His tail Is broad,
fiat and fairly bushy; his head is
round, his ears short. but proni-
nent, and his black eyes alert and
sparkling. His spouse dresses in the
same color and his offspring have
the same markings, but in a lighter
shade.
In watching this nut hoarder you
will wonder how so small q creature
can accomplish so much. He is a
clever engineer and mis- tunnels are
so well hidden that only a few ever
discover the entrances to them. When
the chipmunk has reason to believe
his hideout has been discovered he
does not abandon it, but plugs up
the entrances with dirt and brushes
them over so carefully that only a
naturalist could find them.
In April the little fellow appears
after his long sleep. Contrary to
most hibernating animals. he looks
well-fed, well-groomed and happy.
He is ready to go courting. Besides
being most wonderful nut finder
and traveller over o1l stone walls,
chippy can sing! When several Of
them get together the "chip, chip,
chip" is very musical. Sometimes
they use very soft conversational
tones. When disturbed they are ex-
pert scolders, and some have said
gossipers.
When sitting up on his launches,
his tiny hands holding nut between
them. as he daintily nibbles choice
nut or folds his wee hands as If in

Gulliver and Giants.
FTER returning to England,

FTER returning to England
n Gulliver set forth upon an
II other voyage. This time he
4 a went ashore on a great island
between Japan and Califor-'
MIA" to learn what kind of a place
1t was.
While the sailors who had rowed
with him to the beach were looking
for water, Gulliver wandered around
until he was about mile distant
from the place where the landing had
been made. When he returned he
found that the sailors were rowing
away, trying to escape from man of
giant size, who was wading into the
water after them! They made good
their escape, but poor Gulliver was
left on the island.
Gulliver feared to fall into the hands
Of a giant, and ran away from the
shore until he caught sight of eight
more giants in corn field. The corn
was about 40 feet high, but the giants
were far taller than that, "as tall as
church steeples.'
One giant almost stepped on Gull
liver, and the unhappy man cried out
in alarm. The giant picked him up
in his hand and held him "above so
feet from the ground"
The giants were amazed to find
little fellow who could talk. They did
not understand what he said, but they
knew he was speaking words of some
kind.
Gulliver was placed under care of
a farmers daughter. 9-year-old girl
who was "above 40 feet high, being
little for her age" The girl treated
him very kindly.
To make money for himself, the
farmer took Gulliver to cities, so that
people might pay to look at him. At
length he was sold to the queen for
a sum equal to about $4,000. He was
a delight to the people of the royal
court. but the queens dwarf, who was
only 80 feet high and the smallest
adult ever known before, did not like
him. One day the dwarf let Gulliver
drop in bowl of cream, and he would
have drowned if he had not been
pulled out again.
Jonathan Swift did not expect peo-
pie to believe his strange stories. His
purpose in writing was to make fun
OF people at the royal court of Eng
land. He did not dare speak of them
by name, but he gave hints in his
tales to show the ones he was writ
ing about.

"War Is He'll" !"

When a dog bites man, that, 1t
has been truly said, is a lawsuit; but
when a man bites a dog-that's news!
Similarly, when war, which had al
ways been considered by the average
citizen the capitalization Of patriotic
and nationalistic fervor, was declared
by one of its greatest experts to be
hell, that was news, very great news.
So much so that the phrase has en-
dured long after its author, especially
so as each succeeding war has added
fresh emphasis to its truthful potency.
The origin Of the expression is at
tributed to Gen. William Tecumseh
Sherman, Union commander of Civil
War fame.

Counting Out the Hand.

THE following hand was played in
a recent duplicate tournament.
East evidently had no idea of
L the percentage against his
double. Instead Of getting a
better than average score (some teams
are certain to bid too high on the
North and South holdings), he re-
ceived q cold bottom. Sic transit!

"a foxx c-xx
After two passes, North bid one
club. South bid diamond and North
put in q psychic one-over-one Of one
heart, hoping to play the hand in no
trumps and avoid heart lead. South
bid two diamonds, North two no
trumps and South three diamonds,
which was passed to East. East had
been shifting restlessly in his seat,
waiting for three no trlmps. He finally
decided to double three diamonds.
The opening lead was the nine Of
spades. South put up the ten and
East won with the king, returning q
small club. Vests queen forced
NOrLQ ace. n QldIuOuO WIS IctuIIlcQ.
East won the second round with the
ace-West showing out-and laid
down the king Of clubs. After de-
liberating for some time he returned
another diamond.
Winning the trick in his own hand,
South led the jack Of hearts. West
covered with the queen and South
won the trick in dummy with the ace,
returning q small club. The nine
spot went up from East's hand and
west showed out after South
trumped. South played small heart
and permitted East to win with the
nine. East returned the king Of clubs,
which South ruffed. At this point
East's hand could be counted down.
He had held five clubs, three diamonds
and either three hearts and two spades
or four hearts and one spade. Because
of his double, he almost certainly held
the king-queen of spades blank.
Therefore South led q small spake to
dummy and went up with the ace.
Sure enough, East's queen dropped
and South made three diamonds, dou-
bled.

MARGINAL LANDS
RETIRING IS BEGUN
Roosevelt Approves Plans
to Be Undertaken by
Three Agencies.
~ the Associated Press.

yy the Associated Press.
The Government has launched its
program of retiring poor agricultural
land from production. First steps were
taken yesterday when President Roose-
welt approved plans TO be undertaken
by three agencies.
The Department of Agriculture. In
terror Department and the Federal
Surplus Relief Corporation were told
to proceed with the program for which
S25,000,000 already has been provided
from public works funds.
Between 100000 and 5000 900
acres will be taken first. The total
area of submarginal lands has been
estimated at from 124,OOO,O0O to
lac. 100000 acres
The Presidents approval covered
both the immediate plans of the land
planning group and the long-range
proposal which seeks eventually to re-
of land rental with outright purchase
and conversion of the areas to use in
erosion control, wild life preserves and
Sanctuaries, national parks and timber
growing.
Agriculture officials said sufficient
funds were available to buy lands and
transfer people living on them to other
areas for at least year. They ex-
pressed belief that other money would
be available when needed.
The procedure to be followed will be
initiated by the Relief Corporation.
Persons living on the land will be
offered several alternatives. all of
which will be move attractive than
the prospect of continuing to raise
barely enough to eat, administration
officials said
Some of these alternatives will be
transferred to subsistence homesteads
near factories where part-time en-
ployment can be obtained, or acting
as caretakers for wild game areas
where part of the land may be used
for raising food.
United States to Moe Families.
When decision has been reached on
transferring families, the land will be
purchased and work of restoring it to
a wild or semi-wild state, according
to the use to be made of it, will be
begun by the Civilian Conservation
Corps and other agencies.
The Government will undertake the
actual moving of families and their
goods from the areas with available
funds.
What sections of the country will
receive first consideration has not yet
been decided. Assistant Secretary Of
Agriculture Tugwell, who has devoted
considerable time to the land program.
has mentioned parts of the Appa-
lachian Highlands, the Piedmont
Plateau. and parts of the Great Plains
region near the Western Great Lakes
as the most likely areas.
