Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Strict Home Training.

PERSONALITIES are MADE in the
home. What goes On there is re-
fiected in various ways in reactions to
larger groups.
II everything that science says
about it is true. strict home training
breeds a variety of personality def
icits. Persons brought up under strict
home training rules are likely to be
unfriendly toward superior officers
everywhere. They find it hard to get
along with the boss" which indicates
resentment if not hatred of
parents. They are finicky about
foods, which seems to indicate that
they acquired the habit of having
everything selected for them. And so,
when they are finally put upon their
own resources they appear to be
puzzled about what to eat
Again, those reared under strict
home training are likely TO be BASH
full. This indicates that they we're
not as children permitted to trust
their own judgments. Their ideas
bother them. They find it hard to
rely upon themselves. Consequently,
they blush readily in talking with
others, fearing that their opinions
might be wrong
Still again, they are the ones who
suffer most from homesickness when
they first leave home. This trait seems
to indicate dependence on parents. a
that may last far into
adult years.

They preen their feathers, take a dust

Bedtime
Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Frantic Little Mother.

"HE six babies in the snug, care
fully hidden nest In the tall
grass out on the Green
i Meadows were two weeks old
and were as cute bunnies as
ever had wobbly little noses. Their
eyes were open now and they were
about ready to go out to see what
the Great World was like. Watching
over them from q distance by day and
nursing them and mothering them by
night Mrs. Peter had known a strange
mingling of dreadful anxiety and won-
derful happiness. And she had kept
that family a secret.
Il was right when I made my
nursery way out here" she would
often say to herself. 1T was the safest
place I could have found No one sus-
poets that would make 1t SO far from
the dear Old Briar-p patch. No one goes
over there looking for it. The only
danger is that some one may stumble
on 1t by accident, and now that the
darlings are almost ready to come here
TO the dear Old Briar-patch with me
that danger is about over"
Alas, how little can We foresee. How
often things Of which we have never
dreamed happen. That very after
noon Mrs. Peter was startled by a
whirring, clacking sound which some
how was familiar yet which at first
she couldn't place.
I've heard that before" though
she, but somehow 1 can't think
what makes it. Anyway, it doesn't
sound very near. SO guess it is moth
ing to worry about"
For a while she thought no more OF
1t. Then she became conscious that
it sounded louder. OF course, that must
mean that it was nearer. 1t seemed
to come from q little below the Briar-
patch. She hoped down to the
lower end to look out. At once she
recognized the cause OF that noise
1t was a moving machine. Farmer
Browns boy had begun cutting the
Evening star., 1934-06-26

grass for hay. She could see him on
that queer machine driving the pair
of horses that were pulling it.
At first she thought nothing about
it. Every Summer she had seen the
same thing happen. 1t never had
meant any harm to her or to Peter.
She had heard Carol the Meadow
Lark and Bubbling Bob the Bobolink
complain that they had had nests
destroyed by that machine or by the
horses, but she had paid little heed
to them. They were always worrying
about their nests. SO she wasn't dis
turbed for quite a while.
Then suddenly she noticed that as
that machine went round and round
the Meadow it was gradually drawing
nearer and nearer to where those
precious babies were. What if it
should cut the grass where they were?
Panic filled her at the mere thought.
She began to watch that machine
now. Yes. every time it came around
it was a little nearer the hidden nur-
sery. Perhaps it would stop before it
got quite there. If it didn't. what
was she to do? What could she do?
She hoped out in the open. Perhaps
she had some thought of leading those
horses and that dreadful machine
away as she had led Flip the Terrier
but if she did she soon realized that
this couldn't be done.
Whir, whir. clickety-clack, the ma
chine kept on behind the plodding
horses. Now and then Farmer
Browns Boy spoke to them, and as
they moved the tall grass fell before
the knives of the cutter-bar. The
area of standing grass grew smaller
and smaller and every time that
moving machine went around ii
was nearer that hidden nursery. Mrs
Peter had had many frights in her
life but never had she had a worse
one than this, and never had she felt
quite so helpless. She began to run
about frantically. Several times she
started for that nursery only to turn
back in helpless fright as that noisy
machine approached.
She had thought of all the other
dangers that might threaten her
babies but not of this. 1t had never
entered her head. If it had she
wouldn't have made that snug nur-
sery out there at all. Now that
machine was coming straight fol
where those helpless babies layl Mrs
Peter gasped and closed her eyes
When she opened them there was nc
longer tall grass where that nursery
was. Those clacking knives had cut
it. What, oh what had happened te
those helpless bunnies! Do you Won
der that Mrs. Peter was frantic?

olive Oil, cocoa butter or oil Of sweet
almonds may be used freely.
On coming indoors after being In

washing. The skin may be soothed
and cleansed with q good cold cream
or oil. Apply the lubricant gently
and leave it on the skin for several
seconds, then wipe it off with q soft

pad of absorbent cotton in a soothing
skin lotion and pat in gently all over
the skin and allow it to dry. There
are many soothing creams. lotions and

and avoid too long exposures when
the skin is unaccustomed to the hot

throughout the Colonial settlements
and establishing their own patro-
nymical nomenclature, to which their
descendants have adhered. The
American founders wrote their names
Willet and WilletS. The form Willets
was the most usual one in England.
The Rev. Thomas Willets, who was
born in Cambridgeshire, England, in
1910, was progenitor of one Of the
earliest American settlers of this
name in America. His son Richard,
one of ID children, came to Long
Island in 1857.
Another settler was Thomas Will

in New England in 1882. Upon the
subjugation of New Amsterdam by
the English, he became mayor. He

Adventure

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
VOU needn't have a shiny boat,
diney scow will do.
Just big enough to keep afloat
And run the rifles through
The scent of June is in the air,
The swallows skim and soar,
And lilies blossom here and there
Along the quiet shore.
Sometimes a loon goes looming by,
1.-the, nimble- winged and strong,
Or yonder in the cloudless sky
An eagle sails along.
Sometimes, surprised and stiff with
Though far beyond your reach,
A little dappled. nursling deer
Stands trembling on the beach.
Again the minnows, timid souls,
Like f1eckS of glistening foam,
Leap up in swiftly moving shoals
And then dart off tor home.
Or, deep among the border grass
You see a rush and rise.
And know that some great, hungry
bass
Is breakfasting on flies.
Wherever shines the June-tide sun
Upon a quiet creek,
And rifles sparkle in the sun,
That spot you well may seek.
And by and by, in waking dreams,
When troubled or oppressed,
The mem'ry of the sparkling streams
Will lull you to your rest.

Morris Dancers.

4 READER inquiries as to the origin
Of the name Morris" for well
known dance, with which We are all
familiar since the appearance in this
country of the Morris dancers from
England" Did some one named
Morris invent the dance?
The name Morris" is not English
at all. but corruption Of the Spanish
"Morisco." meaning Moorish" The
original Morris" dance was Moorish
dance usually performed by a single
dancer, and accompanied by castanets.
The dance is popularity known in
England as the old Morris" dance,
and to this day revived there, the
dancers, frequently in costume, taking
the parts of fictitious characters like
Robin Hood and Maidmarian.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WOODSIDE, Md, April 10.-A Wig
orous defense Of the Wagner-Lewis
unemployment insurance bill was
made here last night at the open
forum conducted by the Mems Asso-
citation at Grace Episcopal Church by
Thomas H. Eliot, assistant solicitor
of the Department Of Labor.
Eliot declared that the trend Of
unemployment which had begun back
III 1928 was noticed by Secretary Per-
kins who at that time was head OF
the Labor Bureau in New York State.
He declared that this trend, together
with the success Of British unem-
ployment insurance and q plan adopt
ed in Wisconsin, had inspired the
working out of a national program.
Answering the charge OF violation
Of State rights and the centralization
of power In Washington, he pointed
out that the plan as provided in the
Wagner-Lewis bill provides that the
Federal law shall be imperative in
States which have their own laws at
least equalling the proposed Federal
law in its provisions.
He declared that the fear of too
great burden on industry and busi-
ness employers, who would be forced
to set aside definite percentage of
the pay roll until the maximum un-
employment fund should be attained,
was groundless. He pointed out that
the bill, If enacted, would not be
operative for year and that the tax
would not be collected for a consid-
cradle period after that. He main
tanned that recovery would be sufi-
ciently far along by that time that
the cost of the insurance readily
could be absorbed
The meeting Of the association was
conducted as a Ladies' night.
