Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
pROBABLY the greatest quest
among human longings is that
which has to do with controlling
the emotions. So long as mankind
has talked about humanity, the story
has been the same: Find some way to
control your emotional head.
The strange thing about your emo
tons is this: They reside in you, but
they are not part Of you. Not part
Of you in the sense that you are ac-
quainted with them. They are i'm
personal. They originated in the. race.
Their history is hoary with age. They
stretch back through what amounts to
endless cycles Of years. They have
their mechanisms hidden away in
muscles, glands and bones. Your heart,
lungs. kidneys, house some of them.
Perhaps each bodily cell is hooked up
in some way with your emotional
mechanism. The brain has very little
to do with them. That's why your
control over your emotions is so feeble
Do you have much to say about
when you will become frightened?
When you become angry, and to what
extent? You may cover up the signs
of an emotional stirring, but you have
practically nothing to do with how 1t
started, or when it will subside.

Bedtime Stories
Mrs. Ouack Envies Her Cousin.

'Have you only four? Did some
thing happen to any Of them" asked
Mrs. Wood Duck.
-Four is all I have" replied Mrs.
Quack. "You remember that this was
my second nesting"
II had forgotten that, my dear"
replied Mrs. Wood Duck. II really
had. You may not think so, but you
are lucky"
How am I lucky?" demanded Mrs.
Quack.
You are lucky in having only four
to worry about" replied Mrs. Wood
Duck. It love big family, but I'm
beginning to realize the more children
the more worries"
Where are your children?" asked
Mrs. Quack
Follow me-" said Mrs. Wood Duck,
and turned back behind Paddy's
house
Mrs. Quack, with her babies keep
ing close to her, followed. AS she
went around behind the house it
seemed to her as if the water was
simply covered with baby Ducks. OF
course, it wasn't, but there we're so
many of them swimming this way and
that way that it gave the effect OF
more than really were there.
MY goodness" gasped Mrs. Quack,
where did all those youngsters come
from?"
They all came from my nest in the
hollow limb of the big tree told you
about said Mrs. Wood Duck proudly.
"What?" gasped Mrs. Quack. do
you mean that all those youngsters
are yours?"
Mrs. Wood Duck nodded her trim
head. Eyes," she said, they are all
mine. There are IL of them. Now
perhaps you understand why I said
that you are lucky to have only four"
mo, don't" declared Mrs. Quack.
II should think you would be proud
of family like that"
st am" sighed little Mrs. Wood
Duck. "Of course, am, but the little
dears are a dreadful care. 1t is bad
enough to try to keep watch of five
or six, but when you have dozen
to keep track of it is enough to drive
you almost crazy"
Mrs. Quack sighed She looked at
her own little brood, and then she
looked at her cousins big brood and
her heart was filled with envy. What
wouldn't give to be able to lead a
family like that down to the Sunny
South in the FALL" she cried.

THIS surname is one of the varia-
tons of the Welsh personal name
Thomas-which became a surname of
considerable importance In that and
other countries. It developed as q
surname for the reason that Thomas
had so many kinsmen that 1t became
necessary to designate some Of them
simply as "Tomp-kins."
This coat of arms Is described in
heraldic terms: azure, on chew
ron between three cock pheasants
close, or as many cross crosslets sable.
Crest-a uniforms head, erased, per
Tess, argent and or. armed and named
counterchanged, gorged with a chap
let of laurel VERT
Il These armorial bearings are borne
by many of the TompkinS now living
in the United States. They were borne
by Gov. Tompkins, the one-time vice
president of the United States, but
who Is no doubt best remembered in
history as the Governor Of the State
of New York during the War Of 1872.
The arms are those of the Tompkins
of Mornington, County Hereford, Eng
land. They may be seen sculptured
In the large, open court of the capital

the lower Ohio basin, some individuals
living to be 800 years old.
Growing in crowded woods, the
trees crown is narrow. It has been
pruned by its neighbors as it reached
up for its bit of life-giving sunshine.
The bark on the old trees is often
two inches deep. Round and smooth,
clustered at the twigs' tips are the
buds. In early Spring they begin to
swell, and by May the rosy pink baby
leaves unfurl. They are about one
third their size, when the fringed
catkins of the staminate (male) flow

(female) in tiny, tight-fitting clusters
stand close by, to have their faces

w YHILE we crown the stately

wv trees, the diadem OF king
ship goes to the lordly
white oak, whose dignifled bearing,
strength and independence proclaim
to his devoted subjects his right to
reign.
We are especially rich in oak trees,
having so kinds. Our English cousins
pour all their love on their one native
species. In spite of our abundance
Of wonderfully beautiful oak trees.
we select the white oak as the chief
tain of them all.
We know the tree by its handsome
broad head, towering up from the
pale gray trunk, its many branches
covered with fingerlobed leaves in the
Summer, its rounded buds in the
Spring, its bountiful crop of large,
sweet acorns in the Autumn, and its
sturdy outlines of limb, branch and
trunk in the Winter.
It produces for its human neighbors
the finest of lumber. Its bark tans
our leather goods; its wood is in our
Navy and our homes inside and out.
Our sturdy furniture is constructed
of it: our agricultural implements are
fashioned from it; we go on long
journeys over railroad ties OF oak,
and we keep our homes warm and
fragrant with its logs.
All that the vast army of white oaks
asks is favorable situation through
out most of the eastern half OF our
country from central Maine to North
ern Florida and west through South
ern Ontario.
In rich soil, we'll drained, it reaches
q height of $50 feet, and some have
a trunk to feet in diameter. White
oaks attain their most magnificent
size in the valleys and coves of the
western slopes of the Allegheny Noun

Duck and her big brood were behind
the house of Paddy the Beaver. You
know, Paddy's house is big house.
Mrs. Quack had glanced that way two
or three times, but she had seen
nothing Of her cousin, Mrs. Wood
Duck, and she wondered if the latter
was in Paddy's lower pond. or if per-
chance she might be in Paddy's upper
pond. You know, Paddy has two
ponds, connected by the Laughing
Brook. She swan slowly toward
Paddy's house, the four babies keep
ing close to her in bright-eyed Won

World.

you. I see you have some of your
children with you"
"I have all Of them" replied Mrs.
