Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.

THE average 6-yesr-old child has
= spent about four years In sleep.
The average 12-year-old child has
been asleep about five years, the
average 20-year-old, eight years. Be-
yond that, divide your age by three
and you have the number of years
you have been asleep.
One Of the big problems confront
ing science today Is to determine why
we do or do not keep pretty close
to the average amount Of sleep fron;
year to year.
Some maintain that we tend to
stomach, large muscles, or perhaps
every cell in the body.
A few persons are able to get along
on very little actual sleep. They can
get their rest In some cases without
actually "going to Sleep" Sometimes
organic heart disease will interrupt
sleep Sometimes stomach disturb
ances will do the same. A temporary
change in sleeping quarters will pre-
vent sleep, as will plans for an
unusual morrow.
The chief organ concerned with
sleep Is, of course. the brain. This
is the center of the nervous system.
Here all nerve currents are gathered
and shifted into that harmonious
balance of forces which puts the parts
of the body to rest one at q time.
Over this harmony the brain MAIN
tains its control until the various
organs are again ready for the days
work.

Natures Children
Marsh Hawk (Circus Huds0nius).

Their coats are amber colored and
their heads and necks streaked with
reddish brown. a color found on the
breast and under parts. The upper
tail coverts are white, and the middle
ones are barred with black and gray.
You will have little trouble Identifying
these birds, whether you see them In
Panama or Cuba or North America in
general. The range is large one,
northern half of their range.
The nest Is a bulky affair. II the
chosen site is damp, it will be very
large and rather high. Father and
mother share the labor Of building the
nursery. There are from three to five
pale bluish-white eggs. Father takes
his full responsibility, and keeps the
eggs warm, when his wife has to have
her bath and exercise.
The babies are almost black, their
downy coats are so dark. The nursery
is roomy, but the children are restless
and always demanding food. The
parents restrain them until they are
strong enough to stand near the run
ways of the little scurrying beasties.
Here they watch the expert tactics of
their parents and pretty soon are not
so bad themselves.
It is true that the marsh hawk is
known to catch baby bobwhites and
other ground-nesting birds. The bob
white. as you know. has a most won-
derful color scheme, and the babies
have a way of rushing through the
grass at the slightest signal from their
mother. The marsh hawk, no doubt.
thinks a small rabbit or rat has
scampered across his path. For the
few birds he catches. his valuable
services, in keeping our pests down,
should always be taken into consider
alton before he is condemned. Every
animal is entitled to a hearing.

Worrying
BY JOHN BLAKE.
ONE gets bit fatigued with prophets

of cheer.
Worry may be an annoyance, but
you and I both know that there are
times when it cannot be ignored.
If one has lost his job, he is bound
to worry. If his health is bad and
getting worse, he is sure to worry
whether he wants to or not.
have no doubt George Washing
ton. calm. serene and wise as he was,
spent many a night in worry, when
he wasn't quite sure where the enemy
was or how strong was the invading
army.
If we insist that there should be no
such thing as worry, we are bound
not to have any sympathy with others,
for sympathy is nothing but that.
When you have a tough job to do.
and you are not sure that you will get
it done, how can you help worrying?
Going along and singing a song" will
not get you out Of your trouble.
You simply have to canvass the stu
alton, placing the bad on one side and
the good on the other. and consider
what measures must be taken to enable
you to win through.
When a woman has sick child she
worries about it until it is well again
and in the interval her worry prompts
her to call the family doctor. which Is
the only thing to do when q child is
ailing.

chance to come from their hiding
place and then gives them a merry
chase.
His chief delight is in outwitting
rats and mice. These supply him with
most of his food. though a rabbit,
snake, frog or bird Is never refused.
You can see how closely he flies by
the fact that low grasses and bushes
are brushed as he skins over them
When he is successful, he flies at
once to a fence post, low shrub or
stump. Here he feasts upon his
catch and rests a bit while his meal is
being digested. He is keeping keen
lookout for another meal and little
escapes his bright eyes.
There is a difference of 3 inches in
the sizes of the mates. The larger
one is the mother. She is % inches
long. The father is gray or blush
ash color, with brownish tinge. The
upper tail coverts are pure white. the
tail feathers silver gray, with five or
six dusky bars. The upper breast is
q soft pearl gray, fading to white un-
derneath. The white has a few
rufous spots scattered over it. The
feet and hooked bill are ebony.

The Old Gardener Saws

There is temptation. perhaps.
to start rock garden with plants
which are very easy to grow and
which make fine display quickly.
Creeping phlox is an example.
When there is a wide area to be
filled. perhaps among rocks in a
natural position. this creeping
phlox may be grown to great ad-
vantage, for 1t travels surpris-
ingly fast and in the course of a
few years will cover an area many
feet wide. making a marvellous
floral carpet. In the small rock
garden, Though. and especially
where choice plants are being
grown. creeping phlox must be
viewed with suspicion, for unless
carefully watched it will creep
out and overpoWer its less vigor-
GUS neighbors. There are various
other plants which have this
tendency, the common bugle
among them. and it will be well
for garden makers who are set
ting out rock garden plants this
year not to use them too freely.

You would be extremely unfeeling if
you did not worry about anything. A
French philosopher has said that it
is easy to bear up under the misfor-
tunes Of ones friends.
There was man who didn't worry.
