Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLs
Spending.

NOTWITHSTANDING has a psychol-
AA ogy all its own, even after the
necessary bills are taken care of. You
can tell a lot about a mans char
acter if you look into his unnecessary
expenditures.
The egoist goes on spending spree
every time some one debates his ego
That is, If he can get the where
withal. And we are all egoists to
some extent. Economy is not only q
virtue in itself, but it is also the mark
of a personality that has Its social
environment under control. That's
why swindlers Of all kinds can never
save anything.
When your ego suffers series OF
rebuffs, your bank account Is pretty
likely to suffer. Your access to money
is the one thing that holsters you up
1t is said that when a business man
has had bad day he is pretty likely
to bring home box of candy. An
old school grammar featured this
sentence as an exercise in sentence
structure: 1.-THE jingling of the guinea
helps the hurt that honor feels"
If these things are true, we all have
something within us that comes pretty
close to being dear as life itself That
something Is our ego. There Is lot
of talk nowadays about mental n.y.
giene Perhaps your ego is the CEN
trail thing in mental health.

Prophecies
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST; My wedding
was very quiet and had no re-
ception to which I could ask our
friends and relatives. Would it be
better for me to invite them to my
house rather than to wait for them to
entertain my husband and me?"
Answer-People always love to go
to the house of bride, and if you can
do so, would certainly suggest that
YOU invite your relatives and friends
to a housewarming. This means any
sort of party given by those who have
moved into new house.
Dear Mrs. Post: am a young
widow and would like very much to
renew an acquaintance with school
cflum I have not seen for Is years
This young man has recently come to
our town to live, but I hesitate to try
to show him any hospitality, because
I have recently lost my husband, and
this town goSSips at the least provo
cation. What may do?"
Answer-Even the most suspicious
of the gossips could find little food for
scandal if you ask him to your house
at the same time that you are asking
others.
Dear Mrs. Post: Boys know often
bring me home from school meetings
and plays in their cars. Usually we
say goodnight at the curb, and this
casualness leads another to mistake it
for lack of respect for me. Is there
anything unladylike Tor ungentle-
manly for me to say, Thanks, John.
and close the door of the car after me,
walking toward the house while they
drive away, rather than to expect
these boys to walk with me to the
door,"
Answer-The boys ought to know
enough about good manners to open
the door of the car for you and to
walk with you to the door. But if
they don't, you can't very well read
them a lecture on etiquette, can you?
Moreover, unless all the popular girls
together decided it is time (as perhaps
it Isl to do something about reviving
the grace of manner that has ever
been the hall mark of gentleman,
one person alone is helpless.

Famous Waterways.
V-The st. Lawrence Project.

A N IMPORTANT thing to remember
about the st. Lawrence deep
waterway project is that much Of the
work has been done on it already.
The Welland Canal is a very i'm
portant part of the plan; and there is
little left to be done on it to make it
deep enough to meet terms Of the
treaty drawn in 1892. Several other
links" are also ready, or nearly ready.
Zone thousand miles closer to Eu-
rope!" is a slogan which has been
used for the st. Lawrence waterway.
The passage from Eastern Canada to
Europe is shorter than from New York
to Europe.
Many cities on the Great Lakes ex-
pect to become like ocean ports, load
ing goods on vessels which will 60
straight to Europe.
1t is figured that the cost of send
ing grain and other farm products
abroad will be cut down great deal.
This pleases farmers in many sections
of the United States and Canada.
The total cost of the project has
been figured at somewhat more than
half a billion dollars, which would be
divided between Canada and the
United States. 1t has been asserted
that farmers would save as much as
the total cost in two years, through
cheaper transport of their goods; but
this is only an estimate and remains to
be proved.
Some ports along the Atlantic Sea-
board of the United States, in particu-
lar New York City, have not given
much favor to the project. It is
feared that changing the course Of
part of the ocean traffic would make
these ports lose trade and there is
little doubt that this is true.
On the other hand, it Is argued that
the City and State of New York and
all the States of New England, would
be helped greatly by lower cost of
electric power. The st. Lawrence prof.
ect provides for the damming of
waters in such way taht they would
produce millions of horsepower in
electric energy.
In the so-called international
Rapids section" much work remains
to be done. A great power house has
been planned for each side of the

You will be delighted with the color

scaly part of the wing is maroon and
the body is yellow. At the tip of the

The tongue is coiled when the moth

The back is rather whitish, and there
are two longitudinal white stripes, very

meet at the base of the blush horn.
When grown, these caterpillars pupate
in fallen leaves and make a sketchy

THE word "ragamuff1n" which is so

quite different from what it was at
first, but whose development is never
theless logical
Originally. ragamuffin Tin capital

in an old-time sort of serial mystery

This source inspired its use to sig
nifty somebody who was diabolical or
mean in nature, after which it came
to indicate a person who was dis
reputable.
1t was a slow growth from this
sense to that connecting person who
wore ragged clothing.

BISHOP GAMBLERS MESSAGE

Sunday issue of the Atlanta Journal printed
an article prepared by Bishop Warren A. Gambler
in which he discussed the cotton situation as it ap-
plies to the manufacturer, grower, and worker M
the textile plants Bishop Gambler had this to say
of those who work in textile mills:
s.Roth the employers and employees of the tex
tile mills need now to consider the menacng condi-
tions reported in the press dispatch from New York.
If our cotton mills are defeated by strikes and
lockouts. to what shall all these cotton mill en-
ployes turn their hands? If they go back to the
farms what can they do there! that will be equally,
or approximately, profitable to them? They can
not grow corn in competition with the West, and
thew will find multitude of farm hands to meet
them who will be in equal state of need and per-
pexity. .. .~.'.. ..........
STRIKERS should know these facts and consider
them If they fail to do so, then they will kill the
goose that lays the golden egg upon which they
depend ..'..
There is much sentimental talk about these
matters that is i'll advised and cannot fail to bring
disaster to both employers and employees in the
cotton mill.
ANYONE familiar with the conditions must know
that the people who labor inu cotton mills find
at the mills advantages which they never had when
living in the country They have schools and
churches and other helpful things which the people
in the rural districts have not, and they should
make the most of these things, and seek to live in
harmony with the men who provide such helps for
them. ..
ga strike may be sometimes effective for good;
but in most it does harm only. 1t creates i'll
feeling and strife where harmony and friendship
should prevail"
Those who kon Bishop Gambler know that his
long life has been consecrated to the welfare Of
the people, not of one class but of all. In almost
every mill city and community in the South there
is Methodist church. In years gone by the con-
gregatons of those churches have learned to re-
speet Bishop Gambler as a reat American and a
great preacher. In his comment, here reproduced,
he gives sound advice to all whose welfare depends
upon the cotton industry. His message is that of
one deeply interested in thousands of men and
women who are at work today while millions Of
fellow Americans can find no work to dQ.-Spar-

NEWSPAPERS. OPINION
OPERATING ON A SICK MAN

Imagine that in 1929 lot of men weakened by
previous illness were taken extremely sick. One
was Uncle Sam of the U. S. A, another John Bull
of England, another Frog-eatng Frenchy, and still
others came from South America and other parts
of the world.
Many of them had been previously weakened as
we said, by war sickness. In this weakened condi-
tion they were caught by bad attack of depres-
sion sickness, just as pneumonia sometimes catches
people weakened by influenza by operations
In 1882, most of the sick ones began to show
they had passed the crisis and were in the slow
process of getting their strength back. But one of
them, Uncle Sam, was overcome by fear and had
a bad attack of bank hysteria.
So, early in 1885, Sans doctors started giving
him shots in the arms and legs and stiff drinks
to quiet and steady him. The immediate effect
OF this was to make Sam look as if he might be
dong even better than some of the patients who
had not had any high-powered tonics poured il

In fact Sam seemed to some of his doctors well
enough so that they would perform on him some
oneratons which it seemed to them he would need
70 have done sooner later. So they started m.

Still other volunteer doctors were going after
him with the idea that he needed some gooo SUN
treatments to cure him of athletes toot 1alilhs

About this time some of the effect of the origi-

the country is financially busted" On ac-
count of the fact that the people of this
section are away below the average for the
country in material wealth, it is reasonable
to suppose that in many sections of the
country a far. greater proportion of the
cars on the streets and highways are new
models. The manufacturers must have
sold millions of new cars in the past twelve
months. A country in which a years
production of new automobiles probably

be bankrupt. A large majority of its citi-

In spite of the fact that much of the

credit remains one of the problems of q

A general and sustained movement to
tighten up on credit would be a great aid
to business here: 1t would eliminate trou-
BILE, prevent losses, and probably enable
some local business men to improve their
own credit rating. A cash business IS q

ness that can stand the, pressure OF present

One of the strangest phenomena witnessed in

ness with which many otherwise good citizens con-

to secure better educational facilities, and so on
Yet many of these proud boosters will DELHI

their otherwise laudable efforts-and wonder why
their town doesn't go ahead
We refer to the suicidal habit of buyine away
from home.
The enormous growth of the mail order habit in
recent years is largely responsible for the failure
of many communities to make the progress when
their natural advantages should make possible The
