Everyday Psychology
BY JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Useless Persons.

The social pathologists are getting
busy these days. 1t seems that this is
natural aftermath of a long period
of economic depression. Their general
conclusion is that the world is becom-
ing populated with host Of useless
persons"
This calls for some sort of definition.
Just what is a useless person? One of
the social pathologists says that use
lie person is one who gradually acquires
the opinion that he or she has no
place in the world as it is now con-
stituted. To put it in other words,
the useless person is the discouraged
unemployed. Perhaps better defini-
ton will come when we have finally
decided that unemployment is not a
temporary matter. Already our Gov
ernment officials know that unemploy-
ment is a permanent possibility for
large sections of the general popula-
ton. Most Of the useless persons
might be useful. The economic status
cannot afford the employment.
Perhaps some as yet unknown de-
mands for employment may be created.
That's the task for men Of science. We
would need very little governmental
Intervention, as such, If some useful
vocations could be discovered and pro-
NOTED.

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINs ELLIS.

THIS name had it origin in Nor
mandy and was first known as
"Marisco." The first mention Of the
name is found in the early twelfth
century when Joseph de Marisco Is
recorded in the survey of Worcester
shire, England. The prefix de" sig
nifies that Joseph was evidently OF
the train Of Norman knights who
came over with William the Con-
queror, or just prior to that time.
William de Marisco. the son OF
Joseph, was Lord Of the Manor OF
Eldarsfield in worcestershire
One Of the first of this name in
America was George Maris. who was
born before 1882 in worcestershire
He came to America in 1888 and set
tied in Springfield Township, Chester
County, Pennsylvania He was a
prominent member Of the Society OF
Friends and served his community as
Justice Of the Peace. Was represen-
tative in the Assembly and in the
Council of the Province.
Descendants of George have been
prominent in Pennsylvania. New Jer-
sey and Delaware for many genera
tions.

Pitcher Plant
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

u
THERE are Just a few bogs, over on
the Maryland side Of the Eastern
Branch. where one can expect to find
the pitcher plant. There is no other
plant in the flora of the Eastern
United States which attracts SO much
attention from the general public or
causes so many questions to be asked.
For the pitcher plant is carnivorous,
and carnivorous plants, like poison
GUS orchids" are favorite theme OF
those writer's who care nothing for
plants.
Insects our pitcher plants do en-
trap in their pitcher-shaped leaves,
Now is the time to see the pitcher
plants in flower, though, truth to
tell, their flowers are more curious
than beautiful. But already the first
crop of midges is digesting in the
pitchers; every Imaginable sort Of in
sect, providing it is small, blunders
in. There it encounters a fate some
thing like that in Poe's THE Pit and
the Pendulum" When it tries to
crawl up it is stopped by downwardly
pointing, stiff hairs, that to the In
sect must seem like spear heads.
When it falls down it drops into the
water at the bottom of the trumpet
and there it browns. Then the
enzymic juices digest it.
This would seem to be sensational
and precarious career for the plant
to have. But actually 1t does not de-
pend upon insects for food at all. 1t
has a perfectly good root system, and
its leaves, though so curious, probably
do function like ordinary leaves, also,
in the presence of sunlight. Insect
catching is merely a side line.
On the other hand, it has pro-
foundly modified the plant, so that
it Is really difficult to say to what
other plants it is related-except to
Nepenthes, which We sometimes see
grown in baskets, and is called the
"man-eating" plant of Madagascar.
Very curious is the mosquito who
breeds in the water in the pitchers.
Wyeiomyia (what a whining, mos
quitoish sound that has) is genus of
mosquitoes entirely confined to
pitcher plants. Fortunately, 1t
neither bites nor carries diseases.
Here is case of a mosquito special
lied to live in safety inside a plant
which specializes in catching mos
quitoes. Truly the nature Of life is
beyond all explanation.
fConvri0bt 1Q2AN
Evening star., 1934-05-29

~ II OTHER, can't I have
- N II pony? Please?" Did you
wv ever say this over and
1 i over again? Dream Of
how wonderful it would
be to gallop down the road or over
the fields on your own pony? 1t is
a longing that most children have
until they are 10 or even II years old.
Then, for some strange reason, the
craving seems to depart suddenly. OF
course, it is often followed by desire
for riding horse.
Shetland ponies come from Scot
land. There are some islands about
100 miles off the north coast of Scot
land where these ponies share the
poverty and hardships of those who
live there. Often the food and the
hut will be the same. For three CEN
turies the ponies have found a bare
existence and hard work confronting
them. Under these conditions, they
have developed into sturdy, depend
able, patient creatures.
For size and weight, the Shetland
pony has no peer in the horse world.
He is stockily built, is wide in the
body and short in the back. His
short legs are sure and steady and
his bones are large. Even though
he is rarely over 40 inches high he
can carry full-sized man with little
effort.
The Shetland pony is a draft horse
type-a pocket edition. In the coal
mines he has proven a great success.
a mi faB
and he does not have tantrums such
as the horse and mule sometimes in
dulge in. Besides, he can draw a
ton Of coal every day and cover 80
miles If need be, without undue exer-
ton.
The small farms in Scotland are
called crofts and those who till them,
crofters. These men cut peat from
the swamps and marshy places and
load from 120 to 140 pounds on the
backs of their ponies All sorts of
hauling and hard work are expected
OF these patient little fellows.
The usual colors of Shetland ponies
are bay, dull black and brown. The
mixture of black and white is known
as piebald and is the favorite color
combination for children. The
speckled effect, to the average child,
is sure sign that the wee horse is
Shetland pony.
Any one who has been fortunate
enough to own a Shetland pony
knows that the tireless playmate
never loses his temper. seems to un-
derstand children perfectly, and en-
dures much at the hands of his little
playmates.
In the Winter the pony has a very
heavy coat of long hair. In the
Summer it is shed for a lovely, trim,
sleek one. The long, flowing name
and buShy tail add much to the
beauty of the pony.
In recent years Shetland pony rails
ing has been steadily increasing. In
England and Scotland there are many
breeding farms that have been estab-
Ilshed for long time. America has
found that Shetland ponies will thrive
on hillsides and meadows where q
goat would almost starve.

intending to take the finesse. Second
hand shows out, discarding a heart,
therefore you 60 up with the ace.
Fourth hand follows with a small
club Then second hand suddenly
remarks, "Oh. had a club all the
time" and takes back his heart.
Now you may take back your ace Of
clubs, but fourth hand cannot change
his card. As things work out, you
may treat the discarded heart as an
exposed card, and you are bound to
make both the ace and queen of
clubs. Suppose you were missing both
the king and jack Of clubs. You
could require second hand to play his
highest club on the trick-cover it in
dummy, and make fourth hand play
the card he originally played.
II an opponent feels that you may
gain three or four tricks by the re-
woke, he may demand that a correct
card be substituted for the revoking
card, before the revoke has become
established.
Dummy can only question his part
ner with the approved formula, mo
spades, partner?" If he has not seen
any of the other hands at the table.
Otherwise, declarer cannot withdraw
a revoking card. II dummy leaves
the table without having seen any Of
the other hands, neither opponent can
claim an established revoke unless
they first have questioned declarer
about the absence Of a certain suit
from his hand.
If you claim q revoke, you may
inspect the tricks at the end of the
hand to settle this claim. II one Of
the opponents says, You're crazy. I
know perfectly we'll that I didn't re-
voke," and mixes the cards, he must,
under the rules, allow your claim.
Should he refuse to allow your claim,
the only thing you can do is either
swallow your pride or get up and
leave the table in silent dignity Let's
hope such thing never happens,
however.
After you've added up the score
Of the rubber or cut for the next
deal, you can't suddenly say, "Oh,
remember now. You didn't follow
on the third lead of diamonds and
then later led the jack of diamonds
yourself" Or, rather, you can point
that out as an interesting psyche
logical fact, but you shouldn't expect
to collect any penalty.
And finally, poor dummy-always
the underdog-cant call attention to
an opponents established revoke at
any time. Many a dummy has
writhed in anguish under this ban.

ROM daylight until long after
Jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had
ss to Rsss.s ssa ss4ne 9Rs iRs RnFs.5ss Rs5Ds
and Mrs. Rattles worked to
feed the growing babies in the snug
home deep in the bank Of the gravel
pit in the Old Pasture. 1t sometimes
seemed to Rattles that he had hardly
made the last trip with food when it
was daylight and time to start again.
He couldn't remember ever having
worked so hard for family OF babies.
But then he never before had had so
manv hungry mouths to feed. There
were nine of them.
Il knew just how it was going to
be when Mrs. Rattles laid all those
eggs" he grumbled. "She laid too
many. She certainly laid too many
l told her so. OF course, every one
of them had to hatch. If one or two
had failed to hatch it would have
helped some. Big families may be all
right to talk about, but they are not
all right to feed, not when every NOR
sci they eat must be found and
caught. It doesn't seem to me that
have had a full meal myself since
those eggs Matched. And every day
is harder than the day before. The
bigger they get the more 1t taxes TO
fill them up. I certainly Will oe
thankful when they are able to get
their own food. There are too many
of them for one pair of parents. 1
told their mother how it was going
to be, and so it Is"
So Rattles grumbled as he fished
for minnows and hunted water beetles
and other water insects, and now ana
then chased a grasshopper. But all
the time he was proud OF that big
family. Yes, sir, he was proud OF
that big family. He boasted OF 1t
whenever any one would listen to him.
He looked with scorn on some OF MS
neighbors who had only three or four
babies.
And how those nine little Kingflsh-
ers did grow! When they had hatched
from the eggs not one Of them had
had so much as a single feather:
There hadn't been even wee plt OF
down such as so many bird baples
have at first. But in surprisingly
short time they had sprouted all over
them what Mrs. Rattles declared were
feathers. Rattles took her word for
it. They didn't look like feathers TO
him. No, sir, they didn't. He hadn't
thought ANYTHING about it when they
first appeared through the skin. a lot
of little points. But as day by day
they grew longer and longer, and still
not at all like feathers. he became a
little disturbed. Those youngsters
looked as If they were covered with
a lot of quills instead Of feathers.
He knew of some other babies OF
about the same age, and some little
younger, babies of some OF the featn-
cred neighbors. Now and then ne
flew so that he could look down into
a nest and see them. Their little
coats were of real feathers, while the
coats of his own children didn't seem
like feathers at all. He mentioned the
matter to Mrs. Rattles.
"Do YOU think there is anything
wrong with our babies?" he asked.
'Wrong!" exclaimed Mrs. Rattles IN
a puzzled tone. II should say not.
Never have we had healthier lot.
You can almost see them grow"
"They grow fast enough" admitted
Rattles. "They ought to. for they eat
enough, goodness knows. It u their
coats I was thinking Of"
