The America neagle is now Sitting pref

California, Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio,

a little uneasy. Maybe had been

Tin Bill

OF far reaching effect is the
"tin bills" about to be ntro-
duced in the House by the
House by the Foreign Affairs
Committee. 1t will encourage
the establishment OF a new in
dustry in the United States,
namely tin smelling. This
country uses half the worlds tin,
pays an annual tin bill of $780,
100000, but has been dependent
on foreign countries both for the
ore and for the smelling opera
tions. Whatever the reac-
ton of senators to Huey Longs
speech against Postmaster Gem
eral Jim Farley, they all admit
ted Huey had done his home
work. Without referring to
notes, he enumerated a long list
of charges, with names, dates,
and figures, down to the number
Of cubic feet of marble ordered
for the New York Federal build
ing. When the debate
waxed warm between Huey and
Senator Bailey, Missouri's Ben
nett Clark suddenly popped up
and demanded that they pre-
serve the proprieties. Huey had
said to Bailey, You're mistake
en- about that" thus violating a
rule OF the Senate which re-
Quires that members must not
address one another In the Sec
ond person. Huey should have
said. 1.-THE Senator from North

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

Time.
WHEN Shakespeare said that time
w is measured by heart throbs, not
by figures on a dial, he stated a fun
damental human problem-the prob
lem of psychological time. The CEN
trail factors of psychological time are
occupation or interest on the one
hand, and emotion or feeling on the
other.
As we grow older the years seem
to grow shorter. That's because OF
the presence of interesting or urgent
things TO be done. If one is busy,
time flies. The psychological law Is:
Thine, filled with varied and interest,"
ing experiences, seems short in pass
ing, but long as we look back"
Suppose that as we grow older we
have nothing to do, nothing to think
about. The hours. days and weeks
seem like so many different kinds
of eternities The psychological law
is: Empty time seems long in pass
ing and short as we look back"
When the emotions. such as anger.
fear or horror, are aroused a very brief
period seems to be a long one. The
explanation is this: The emotions
refer to the ancient history of man;
they are psychological processes that
required thousands. perhaps millions,
of years TO be laid down in the human
nervous system. During periods Of
emotional stress we seem to live
through this past, to bunch it all into
one brief period.
The psychologists conclude that
what We call time is not an unbroken
duration, but a series of very small
durations, all of which have mean
ing of their own, depending on how
we are occupied. Intellectually or emo
tionally. The shortest observable bit
of time is about 1880 of a second.

Answer: In a decanter on a tray.
with sherry glasses and cookies on
a plate, either plain or with a lace
paper dolly mot linen), put down
on a small table. People help them
selves, or you pour for them, and
then proffer the cookies.
Dear Mrs. Post: When I'm host
ess in q restaurant or club, and the
waitress proffers food to me first.
should I help myself or ask her to
serve the other ladies first?"
Answer: Tell the waitress to serve
the lady on your right first. Host
esses who serve themselves first not
only affront their guests, but give
to all foreigners the right to go home
and testify to what is known as the
great American rudeness."
Dear Mrs. Post: When guests ar
rive, does a hostess shake hands with
them at the door or after they have
come inside? OF course, mean in a
house where there are no servants. "
Answer: There is no rule, and this
must be left to your own natural i'm
pulse of common sense. Meaning
that you would instinctively ask a
visitor to come in out Of the rain or
cold, or intense heat, first, before
anything else. But on a beautiful
