Everyday Psychology
BY JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Mental Hands.

The ideas that keep working in
the mind seem to shift over into the
body. At least they do in some types
of minds, especially childish minds.
Now. child at play acts out its
images: makes mud pies that seem
like real pies; travels miles in few
inches. A little later it talks to itself.
And a few years later the man or
woman takes it all out in merely
spinning fancies.
Those who can retain the childish
method most completely turn out to
be inventors. That is, the inventor
thinks with his hands.
Here's the way one story goes: An
inventor is trying hard to put his
plans on paper. The picture offers
its stubborn resistance to being put
into place. In other words, ideas have
their own gravity, their own sluggish
ness about being moved. Finally, the
inventor actually pictures the scheme
before him, and makes the move
ments with his hands whichStand for
manipulation of the working parts
of the machine Then he turns to
his drawing and completes his plans.
And they work. The machine is Gre
ated, and new invention is born.
One wonders whether or not our
minds are not composed of move
ments only. And also whether or not
the child is father to the man."

fourth to half an inch in thickness,
but no thicker. Score the surface with
sharp knife, or use meat tenderer.
Fry in deep hot fat if half an inch
in thickness, and little cooler If one
fourth inch in thickness. Season with
salt and pepper and serve very hot.
Rump, round, or plate Qean separated
from the fa0 may be used the same

The Old Gardener Says:

Although amateurs often find
1t difficult to realize the fact,
water is worth as much as fertil-
izer for producing roses at this
season. One of the secrets of
good rose growing is the use of
water in liberal quantities, but
always in the morning or early
afternoon. Moisture allowed to
form on the leaves in the evening
is very likely to induce attacks
of mildew. Some of the peren-
mails also require much water if
they are to continue blooming.
This is especially true of the
trollius or globe flower. Annuals,
too. particularly sweet peas, need
water in abundance. One good
plan to follow with sweet peas is
to make a little trench along the
rows and to fill it from time to
time.

become a problem. In the West the
yellow haired member of the family
has destroyed many trees and helped
himself to alfalfa fields and vegetable
gardens, so that the property owners
have had to appeal to Uncle Sam for
help. Feed them salt and strychnine,"
says the venerable friend of the
farmer
Animals love salt. Where there are
camps near the porcupine route these
animals take possession of the dwell
ings. Anything wooden that human
hand has touched is gnawed. Camp
ers tell narrowing tales of hearing
noises in their Summer homes-fall
ing objects and Gathering pans. To
fall over porcupine in the dark, or
to stumble against one, is an expert
ence few wish to have.
Porky is easily recognized as he
ambles along the road. He scornS by
paths to avoid being seen. If he is
not sure of the noises he hears, he
sits upon his launches and listens. If
disturbed, he shuffles along with a lit
tie more speed. If pushed too far, he
arches his back. The quillS that lie
backward, when all is serene, are now
erected. The spiked creature now is
formidable in appearance and SEEM
ingly twice his normal size.
The fiat or once fiat tail begins to
slash about. This is the thing to
avoid. One swift blow from this
member is a fearful encounter The
wielder of this spiked club can strike
an object with such force as to drive
the barbs through a board the thick
ness of a shingle!
His one vulnerable spot is his nose.
He guards it with his life. When he
fights his paws protect it. When he
sleeps his head is lowered, and again
his front paws cover this member. A
slight blow on his nose not only
knocks him out, but ends his career.
When climbing a tree he goes hand
over hand and cllngs to the bark with
his sharp claws. When he reaches
the foliage he draws the branch to-
ward him. After consuming every
leaf the branch is released. All the
bark within reach Of his sharp gnaW-
ing teeth is eaten before the lazy fell
low moves. AS a rule, porcupines
travel at night and sleep curled up
in the crotch of a tree during the
day. 1t is a rule with a porcupine
not to leave the tree until it has been
completely defoliated. Therefore you
may see the big, black. muff appear
ing creature for days and days in the
same tree.
In the Autumn he seeks his mate
PorcupineS do not hibernate unless
the weather is very severe. They use

cotton for soft corns. Newly formed
hard corns may be removed in the
following way: Soak the feet for 20
minutes in a basin of warm salt water,
to which have been added few drops
of simple tincture Of benzoin. After
the feet have been removed from the
water and dried well, cut a slice of
lemon and bind it on the corn. Leave
the lemon on overnight. Next morn
ing soak the feet again and gently
rub off the corn. If it does not come
away easily, repeat the treatment on
successive days until the corn is loose.
do not use force to pull out the corn.
It will lift out readily when the treat
ment has taken effect. Old corns
may be treated with commercial corn
remedies.
The nightly foot bath is an in
dispensable part of any beauty pro-
gram. Battle your feet at bedtime in
tepid water in which a little borax
or salt has been dissolved. Dry them
thoroughly and massage with WITCH
hazel or weak alcohol. Rub olive
oil on the calluses.
Exercises for the feet and toes
should be taken for or 10 minutes
every day to strengthen the muscles
and improve the circulation. Such
exercises are an excellent form of
insurance against arch troubles that
SO often develop in adult life. Here
are three simple foot exercises.
First. Sit on a chair and with bare
feet pick up pencils or marbles by
curling your toes over them.
Second. Stand erect. Raise and
lower heels alternately.
Third. Lie on your back on the
floor or on a bed Bend your knees
up on your chest with the soles turned
up toward the ceiling. Juggle large
ball on your feet without letting it
fall off.

Death Has Thousand Doors. "

WE have an inquiry as to the origin
w of the saying, Death has a
thousand doors"
We find this saying from time to
time in literature. One well known
source of it that is surprising in view
of the solemnity of the words, is in
a play by those dramatists who
seemed to aim only to amuse. Beau
mont and Fletcher. In their THE
Customs of the Country we find
Death hath SO many doors to let out
life"
The original form of the saying
was Death hath a thousand doors
to let out life" by the English drama
tist. Philip Massinger, who lived from
1884 to 1910. 1t is found in the fifth
act, scene four, of "A Very Woman" q"
The contemporary John Webster
varied this in his play. "Dutchess of
Malf," to Il know death hath ten

TT SEEMED to Peter Rabbit that
little Mrs. Peter was acting bit
unlike herself these days Yet
L when he stopped to think about
it he couldn't say what it was
or wasn't that gave him that feel
ing. Ordinarily Peter doesn't pay
much attention to little Mrs. Peter.
He seems to take her for granted
to having her about. People who
live together a long time sometimes
get that way.
She never had been one to put
herself forward. She was shy and
retiring and liked to keep out of
sight when there were visitors to the
dear Old Briar-patch. but now it
sometimes seemed to Peter that she
tried to keep out of his sight. Once
in awhile he would find her sitting
staring of at nothing in particular
and he would have to speak twice
before she would even notice him.
Aren't you feeling well?" he asked
one of these times.
II never felt better in my life"
replied little Mrs. Peter. What
made you think I wasn't?"
"Oh, nothing" replied Peter lamely
Come on and get some sweet clover"
So they went just little way
from the dear Old Briar-patch to a
bed of sweet clover and in stuffing
himself Peter forgot Mrs Peter for
the time being. When he did hap
pen to look at her she was sitting
with a far-away look in her eyes in
stead of eating. And at night it
was easier than usual for Peter to
slip away from the dear Old Briar-
patch without protest from her. In
deed, she didn't pay any attention to

A heavily armored coat has made

only two ambitions in life, eating and

wits. He must be alert and ever
ready to be little more clever than
his enemies. He is, therefore, re-
sourceful At the cost of freedom
the porcupine has sacrificed much.

one of his trips, he would return
home, she would greet him as II
he had been no farther than the
nearest clover-patch. And this wasn't
like Mrs. Peter. No, sir, 1t was not
at all like her.
She didn't seem the least bit In
terested in the news he brought home
unless it happened to be something
about Reddy Fox. Then she would
listen, but in a minute or two that
far-away look would return to her
eyes and Peter would have the feel
ing that she didn't hear a word he
was saying.
Then, too, she was more uneasy
than usual. At least she moved
about a lot more than was her GUS
tom. 1t seemed to Peter that she
went over and over every inch Of the
dear Old Briar-patch, especially
around the edges Of it. And several
times he discovered her out on the
Green Meadows some distance from
the Old Briar-patch. and so far as
he could see she wasn't looking for
sweet clover or anything else to eat.
What were you doing out there?"
he asked once when she returned
from one Of these short trips.
"Oh. just looking around" replied
Mrs. Peter.
What for?" he demanded bluntly.
Just to see how things look" re-
piled she vaguely, and hoped of to
another part Of the Old Briar-patch.
"It is queer" unused Peter "Yes,
sir, it is queer the way she acts. 1t
is as If she has something on her
mind"
How near the truth he was Peter
didn't know. Mrs. Peter did have
something on her mind. 1t was
very important something. very i'm
portant indeed. At least she thought
so. She was planning new nursery.
Yes, sir, that is what she was doing,
and you must admit that that was
important. She was trying to decide
just where she would have that nur-
sery, where it would be safest and
least likely to be found by hungry
enemies. So you see she did have
something on her mind.

MCMAHON AND STIvERS RESIGN.

Much has been made of the great service rem
dered humanity by Mcmahon and Stivers, since
1881, by the daily press. The daily press no
doubt regrets their leaving the CWA and relief
work in Montana. A press, that betrays the
idealism of the profession as the Butte Daily
Press has done, no doubt would hate to see loyal
tools of the Master they so Loyalty serve,
resign. The common people of Butte have no
regrets in seeing these men resign. AT the CWA
investigation held in Butte, the resignation of
these men was asked for. Though the legisla-
ture rejected the report, it was sent to Wash
ington where the Anaconda Company has no
control. On Feb. 20, organized labor in Butte
requested the removal of these men in a protest
sent Washington. AT a hearing on relief adj
ministration, held at the State Federation Con-
%vention, in Missoula, it was recommended that
these men be asked to resign. Labor ~reioices
in their resignation. Labor has also asked that
another state administrator be removed and
time will tell as to whether or not the pressure
Of personal business will force him to resign. He
is a man who couldn't be in Butte on a Tuesday
night to discuss relief matters with the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council but could be in

administration to Butte Civic clubs.
Butte labor also welcomes the successors to
Stivers and Mcmahon to their offices. Mr..
Rowe has been friendly to the workers as State
Highway Commissioner. Often he has fought
alone on the commission for living wages and
union conditions for highway workers. Jim
OBrien, the bloodhound of Butte unionism needs
no introduction and eulogy. Wherever a dis
cussion is held that concerns labor, OBrien will
be found, asking embarrassing questions. When
he is convinced that labor is getting a square deal
he will fight for the measure, even if it means
bucking fellow-workers. He has a nose for fer
reting out schemes contrary to the welfare of
organized labor. Labor can be assured that
nothing will be put over on it while O'Brien is
on the board. If the resignation of the two
board members means that the A. c. M. Co. will
have less and less control over the life and well
fare of Butte citizens we can know that at last
the NEW DEAL is reaching Butte.

Mr.. Kelley received $348,6i0 in salary and bonus.
If you workers worked 365 days a year at SIS per

that much money.
As the editor has said before, the only one
who makes any money from the wealth Of Mon
tana is the man who sits in New York and starves
you at his will, in order that he might live on the
fat of the land. No wonder it took so long for
a copper code to be presented. Mr.. Kelley no
doubt wishes to restore his 1929 income and to
do it only $14 per week can be paid miners. Prob
ably these facts, brought out in the Senate hear
ing, will influence even General Johnson at the
code hearing. Unless the President of the United
States stands behind the threats and promises he
made in his Monday radio address, the people of

ed part time as the year when they had to stand
in line and be investigated in order that they
might get coal and clothing for their children,
in the name of community kindness. They will
also remember that much was made of the fact
that they received these acts of mercy through
the grace of the A. c. M. Co., and they had to
show a rustling card to obtain this measly char
ity. They will also recall the reason given for
such living on charity; that the ANACONDA
COMPANY COULDN'T AFFORD TO RUN ITS
MINES. To listen to the heads of the Company,
who graciously dispensed relief, one would think
that the heads of that corporation were suffering
and that it was through great personal sacrifice
that they donated to Butte charity and kept men
working even part time. With this thought in
mind let us consider an ASSOCIATED PRESS
DISPATCH THAT THE STANDARD" FOR
GOT TO PRINT.
In 1882, while you miners were eating maca-
roni and beans in return for building the greens
ward at the School of Mines, C.. F. Kelly was
paid $252,670 in salary and bonus as president of
the Anaconda Company. This is verified by an
Associated Press dispatch Of February 20. Mr..
Miner and Workingman, do you know how much
this isl If you were paid SIS per day, and work.
ed sos days in every year, you would have to
work over los years to earn that much in wages.
Yet President Con Kelley gets that much during
the worst year America has seen. He received
that much salary in a year when the Anaconda
was in such bad s~traights that it couldn't pay
dividends to the suckers who bought stock and
couldn't afford to operate its mines. He drew
that salary in a year when you and your families
lived on charity and had to stand in line for your
turn to report and wait until a man paid by the
Company Investigated you. No wonder the re-
lief wouldn't feed radicals. No wonder Stivers
and Mcmahon stated that communists could
starve. Any man who makes such a salary while
the producers of that wealth are starving and
shivering through a Montana winter would be
happy to have all who would deny him such an
annual income starve to death.
But that is only part OF the story. During 1929

are concerned. CWA has turned out
to be a CHASTITY deception to the un-

So far the real beneficiaries Of the
"new deal" have been the mortgage
holders, the corporations, those who
live off unearned income. The bloat-
ed capital structure on which workers
and farmers are asked to earn the
income for stock and bondholders has
been guaranteed at every point by the
new DEAL" Interest payments for
1888 exceed every previous year while
factory payrolls are 40 per cent of
normal.

matter how it squirms and maneuvers,
is utterly unequal to the task of as
