Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS,
Zenith of Years.

THERE is such a thing as a zenith
of years-a time when each in
dlvidual begins to go the other way
This zenith is reached in middle life
and continues to be a zenith as long
as the individual stays in his prime
There are two important factors
to be accounted for in any discussion
OF the zenith. First, the zenith is
an individual trait. Every person has
1t, but not within the same age period.
Second, 1t varies with occupation.
A lawyer, for example, does not
reach his zenith, as a rule, until well
into the sixties. Clergymen are in
their zenith between SIS and IS. Physi-
clans, especially surgeons, reach
their zenith by As and pass out of it
by SIS or 60. After that they reach
the professional zenith of a clinical
adviser, sometimes more valuable than
the first. Teachers, as a rule, have
their zeniths between 35 and 40. Ath-
letes are in their Zeniths still earlier.
The life of an individual is made
up Of series Of maturations. He has
zenith for each maturing. Some of
these zeniths are physical, some men,
tai. So in appraising the worth and
prospect of any individual for any
life period, the whole question turns
upon vocation, its requirements, its
advancements. Life means work.

Here is one of those "How-would-
you-bid-it?" hands. Six spades or
six clubs is lay-down. In match
point duplicate, the spade contract
would be more desirable, but even the
minor suit slam would have meant
a next to top in recent tournament,
as only one pair reached the slam.
Their bidding was atrociouS. North
dealt, and bid one heart. After
South's spade response, North gave
an unjustifable skip of three hearts.
There was no stopping South short of
six from then on. Some people have
a guardian angel watching over them.
According to my opinion. the hand
should be bid as follows: One heart;
one spade; two hearts; three clubs;
three no trumps %; four clubs (2);
five spades 80; six spades.

but South may be trying to force
the no trump bid into the North
hand. Since he holds a tenace in
the off suit, North must accept the
tentative invitation.

five clubs to the ace-queen, double

the slam will not make. so North
utilizes the leeway principle.
This is the way David BurnStine
said he would bid the hand. OF
course, Mr.. BurnstineS dealer bids
are somewhat lighter than mine,
therefore there is less certainty in
South's mind of a slam. One heart;
one spade; two hearts; three clubs;
four clubs; four diamonds %; six
clubs
l. A very good slam try bid by
South.
Edward Hymes, jr., was inclined to
skip bit more; one heart; one spade:
two hearts; three clubs; five clubs;
six clubs-and at this point, Mr..
Hymes thought he would make sure
of a top by having North bid six
spades. although he has practically
forced South into a rebid Of what may
be weak club suit.

Savage
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THERE is a sort Of little boy, rarely
L 1t is q little girl, who is as per-
feet a little savage at the age OF as
one could hope to find. This child Is
noisy. He shouts on all occasions. He
bucks and kicks his playmates. He
takes their things and punches them
when they object. He disobeys his
mother and calls her names when ne
is in the mood. He Is tireless ana
could outrun a regiment. His mother
Is worn to the ragged edge, and the
mothers of the neighborhood have
their fingers crossed at sight OF him.
What is to be done with him?
First, something is not to be done.
Don't talk much to him. Don't lee
ture him. Talking is only a noise in
his ears. He rather likes poise. Don't
tell him that he ought to be little
gentleman. That is the very thing he
does not want to be. He likes to be
called hard boiled, roughneck and
bandit, but dislikes tender names.
Don't cry over him. That is fatal. He
has no respect for tears. To him they
are a signal of defeat and surrender.
He feels superior to the one he has
made cry, whether that Is his mother
or his companions on the playground.
Have q schedule, a daily program,
for this child and hold him to it. An
ordered day forms the framework on
which his training and discipline are
to be laid. Be as impersonal as pos
sible with him. Keep him at arms
length in all your dealings, so that he
begins to cherish a closer relationship
in his heart. Keep as still as you can.
Never argue with him. Look steadily
at him when you have made up your
mind what is to be done, say what you
have to say in quiet tones and simple
words, and then be still.
This sort of child likes to stir people
up. He wants action and then more
of it, and if he can stir the whole
household into dramatic behavior, so
much the better. Remove the audi
ence, give him no applause when he
performs, stand back and leave him
to his own emptiness, and he will soon
settle down to calmer mood.
Just as soon as possible enter this
child in kindergarten, and keep him
busy out of doors the rest Of the time.
The school group will do him more
good than any other educational force
that you can bring to bear. Children
learn more from other children than
ever they do from us. They under
stand each other. They can convey
ideas to one another with a gesture
where We would take hours of talk
and tears. They discipline each other
perfectly. A slap or punch is
promptly and deftly returned and no
i'll consequences of body or spirit re-
suit. A grown-up person may not
strike child save in grave emergency
without doing more harm than good.
The dominant 4-year-old child is
valuable young person. He has poten-
tial power. Punishment and nagging
and helpless collapse into tears and
pleadings will never develop that
power. A strong. silent power: a sure,
steady idea of control and discipline;
a firm hold to daily routine: a good
school and healthy companionship,
good diet, regular sleep. plenty of hard
play in the open air will do the Job.

Enduring Bores
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"As vinegar to the teeth, and as
smoke to the eyes. Prov, X26.
SOLOMON was describing here the
vexation one suffers from having
to put up with a Sluggard. But the
phrase fits also the case of the bore.
To have to endure bore is "as vine
gar to the teeth and as smoke to the
eyes"
Shakespeare suffered at the hands
Of bores. In his case they were evi-
IDENTIFY "as vinegar TO the teeth" for
he declared that he would rather eat
cheese and garlic in a mill house, than
feed on cakes in any Summer house
in Christendom and have to listen to
bore talk to him. He also found
them like smoke to the eyes" for he
calls bore worse than a smoky
house"
According to the dictionary, a bore
is a person who forces his presence
upon others and wearies them with
uninteresting and unwanted talk.
Such persons, having time on their
hands, and being either too dull
or too restless to pass the time
alone, proceed to thrust themselves
on occupied people, with no object
but just to talk And they can talk
all round everything without telling
you anything-prodigally communi-
cative with nothing to communicate
When bore like that sets upon me,
and see no way Of escape, I Just give
in and try to amuse myself specializing
on how such person, so empty, can
be always so overflowing I find in
that some compensation for my an
noyance.
I suppose bores never realize how
people dread them and try to dodge
them. If they were susceptible to
advice they might be told of Chester
fields advice: Never hold any one
by the button or the hand in order
to be heard out, for If people are un-
willing to hear you you had better
hold your tongue" Or they might be
reminded of Solomon'S warning:
Withdraw thy foot from thy neigh
bor's house, lest he be weary of thee
and so hate thee
However, it seems almost useless to
advise or warn bores. Perhaps the
oiAy SAdACe VI uellNeTdnCe from tnem
lies in some such course as that Byron
had in mind when he said: 1T is to be
hoped that, with all the modern i'm
provements, a mode will be discovered
of getting rid of bores, for it is too
bad that poor wretch can be pun
ished for stealing your pocket hand
kerchief or gloves and that no pun
ishment can be inflicted on those who
steal your time, and with it your tenn
per and patience, as we'll as the bright
thoughts that might have entered your
mind. but were frightened away by the

Full Speed Ahead
BY JOHN BLAKE.

~ AY to yourself every morning:
Here is another day. What
am / going to do with it,"
~ Map out your plan Of action
before you start.
If some job was left unfinished yes
terday, take it up. and get done with
it. Then turn to the next job on
hand, and make at least a start on
that.
Go into a business establishment or
a factory, and you will never find
anybody wondering what to do next.
In war the commanders must count
on the enemy. And there he finds a
problem. But in peace he may look
good way into the future and be
ready to meet it.
Doing job carefully is not enough.
It must be done not only carefully, but
rapidly. That factor Of time must
always be taken into consideration
In every large and prosperous busi-
ness speed is mandatory. But speed
does not mean hurry. 1t can only be
attained through knowledge of the
job, and sufficient experience to enable
you to get through it without blunders,
which may send you back to the be-
ginning for new start. Those second
starts are always expensive.
Make it a rule. when one days work
is done, to think about the next day.
1t is possible that unforeseen contin-
gencies will force you to alter your
plans. But get back to them as soon
as possible.
Don't let your wits wander. Don't
try to do one job while you are think
ing about another. Neither will be
well done, If you do.
The person of average intelligence,
willing to work, and with fair supply
of ambition, ought to get on in the
world, and he will if he keeps his
head and his temper, and doesn't look
out Of the window too much.
