Good Cure
For Crouch
Temper at Breakfast
Often Indicates
Fatigue.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

HENRY sat down at the breakfast
table scowling. 81 don't want
burnt toast. You know I can't eat 1t
when 1t Is burned. I don't see why I
can't have toast without its being
burned as black as my shoe.
why, Henry, that toast is not
burned"
well, it is for me, that's all. Give
me some cereal. Maybe I can eat
that. Isn't there any orange juice?"
Yesterday you said you did not
want any orange Juice so cooked the
prunes for you instead"
"Prunes. Pru en- s. PRUNES.
Gee, if there Is one thing I hate it is
PRUNES."
Now that is enough, Henry. You've
said plenty to last for the day. Eat
your breakfast or leave it alone. And
one thing more. I'm not going to
serve you another breakfast until you
can come to the table and eat like a
gentleman"
"Oh, all right, all right. II say the
least little thing you Jump me. I was
only saying
This happens almost every morning
with Henry. He gets down to break
fast feeling like a bear with a sore
head and he makes the house like a
bear den before he gets out for school
By noon he feels fine. He is smiling
and cheerful and has forgotten his
crouch of the morning completely
He Is surprised to find his mother
silent and stern. Now what did I
do?" he asks.
Nothing that his mother can do
seems to help much. She makes him
get to bed early enough to insure a
good, long sleep. The longer he sleeps
the crosser he rises. He just feels that
way. he explains. When he gets
started for the day he feels better.
That's how he is, he cheerfully
explains.
If you have a breakfast crouch in
the house try giving him a glass of
orange juice, or warm milk, as he
chooses, before he leaves his bed.
These cross children are usually ado
lescents. They seem to have to over
come some sort of weight upon their
bodies and spirits. They are in a
stage Of growth where fatigue poisons
are likely to make trouble. 1t may
be that some of this morning difficulty
Is caused by some such process. Any
way We have found that giving them
glass Of fruit juice, a glass of warm
milk, a cup of hot tea, not too strong
and served with sugar and lemon,
helps a great deal.
In the first place they are pleased
and touched by this attention. They
| feel that their difficulties have been
recognized and met. That gives them
lift of spirit. They feel lighter all
over and getting out Of bed is no.

'\HE young modern waving
"good-bye' as she steps into
the plane, is off for a week end
house party, and expecting to
arrive at the cocktail hour has chosen
a smart black net jacket frock that is
thin and cool and equally suitable
for both occasions.
The jacket and short-sleeved dress
are entirely tucked. the three-quar-
ter length jacket sleeves fare widely
at the lower edge, and black grosgrain
ribbon makes a narrow collar and tie
with long ends on the dress.
The smart black velvet hat on beret
lines, with face veil, is last-minute
news in millinery. while the black
patent leather disc handbag is capa-
cious, yet easy to carry.
The piece of luggage, which the
young lady has chosen, has everything
to commend it to discriminating trav-
elers. Easy on The eyes. with its brown
stripes on tan, and brown leather
trim, 1t contains a separate hanger
section for four or more dresses, all
Of which At easily and without wrin-
king in the lid of the case. Upon
arrival this complete unit may be
removed and the dresses on their
hangers transferred to the closet hooks.
The sides of the case have shirred
pockets for shoes and other articles
and one side has a special rubber
lined pocket for last-minute toilet
necessities. Hats and lingerie fit easily
in the center of the case, and so every
thing can be quickly accounted for.
This same type of case comes for
men and will hold two complete suits
Of clothes and all needed accessories.
They are priced at $25 and $32.50.
nESPITE the fact that the hottest
part Of the Summer is before us,
black dresses are featured as very chic
at the moment. They are conspicuous
because they are different from what
we usually associate with Summer in
the way of light and high-keyed
frocks; but they do fit into the scheme
of things nicely and one added to
the wardrobe Is an investment in ad-
vance Fall fashion preparedness.
The black dinner frock with wide
white embroidery and lace banding,
used from neck to hem, proves an at
tractive model. The black frock with
long tunic Of crisp white embroidered
organdy is effective. and more Sum-
merry looking than the all-black frock.
Some Of the shops are showing sep
arate white tunics in various open
work styles, which offer suggestion
to the clever girl who has a plain
dark frock that she can use as
foundation.
Black velvet hats always make their
first appearance in July. They are
made Of the lightest weight velvet and
continue the vogue for slashed crowns

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Tender Egos.

ONE Of the greatest concerns of
all persons is that of protecting
their own sense of self. Most persons
will spend time, energy and money in
building fortif1cation in which they
may protect their egos.
Some persons, perhaps constitution
ally. have weak egos. They are easily
offended. For that reason they are
hard to understand. Those who know
them well approach them more or less
apologetically. This, of course, requires
care. In some cases the necessary
amount of care required becomes a
burden, and there is naturally with
drawal from all acquaintances who
possess tender and moody personal
tiles. This withdrawal, of course, only
makes the weak egos more sensitive.
They come in time to withdraw as
completely as possible from all social
contacts. Along with this withdrawal
they develop sense of self-pity. This
feeling is intolerable 1t is likely to
be projected upon the outside world.
That is, environment Is blamed for
everything.
As the tender ego grows older, its
accumulated memories of sights, real
or imaginary, may come to be organ
lied into delusions of persecution. The
last stage is called paranoia in the
insane asylums.

sighed for freedom and envied the
single. For many Of them marriage
was just one long fight and yet they
try 1t again. No wonder DR.. johnson
said that a second marriage was the
final triumph of hope over experience.
Why they do it is one of the mys-
teries of the universe, but marriage,
whether it is happy or unhappy, does
something to people that units them
for living alone Husbands and wives,
even when they are uncongenial. be-
come a habit and if it is broken they
are restless and dissatisfied until they
re-establish it.
A MAN may resent his wife's tyran-
nies, her nagging and fault-find
ing, her unreason, her extravaganza,
but let her die and he is as forlorn as
dog without master. He has been
so used to being bossed and told to
put on his rubbers when it rains and
watch out for automobiles and what
to eat and how to have his hair cut
that he has lost the ability to take
care Of himself and he will follow any
woman home who will pat him on the
head and give him food that he hasn't
had to order himself.
And women are the same way. The
woods are full of widows who have
endured miserable marriages, but who
are left sitting pretty when their
husbands die and leave them juicy
wads of insurance. You would think
wild horses couldn't drag them to the
altar another time, but they are never
happy until they marry again and get
another husband to quarrel with.
For the slogan Of marriage seems to
be: If at first you don't succeed, try,
try again, even to the tenth time.

Outside Of motion picture actors, who
seem to have q marriage complex or
something that impels them to con-
tinuously leap in and out Of the holy
estate, the enactment Of this law will
be of small public interest since most
people regard two or three marriages
as the extreme limit of their quota.
Some who have tried marriage are of
the fixed belief that one marriage is
one too many.
But that a statesman, seeking un-
selfishly to safeguard the happiness
and promote the welfare Of his con-
stituents, should feel it necessary to
legally curb their matrimonial activi-
ties and permit the wedding bells to
ring out only 10 times per each for
them, calls attention to the fact that
the men and women who have once
been married and who have lost their
mates, either through death or d.
vorce, are almost sure to be matrimo-
nial repeaters, and that widowers and
widows are far more likely to marry
than are bachelors and spinsters.
4 \ X
MO PHENOMENON in nature or
human nature is stranger than
this. Considering that few marriages
are the heaven on earth that the ro-
manticists paint them to be, and that
the percentage Of dissatisfied and dis
appointed husbands and wives is SO
great that one marriage out of every
six ends in divorce, one would think
that having been singed in the do
nestle purgatory the burnt child would
dread the fire and only an occasional
individual, who was glutton for pun
ishment, could be cajoled, enticed,
bribed or shanghaied into a second
marriage.
This is not the case, however, as we
can testify from our own observation.
Every day we see widows and Wild
overs Fastening to the altar, but ap-
parently so strong is this mania for
marrying, once 1t has been acquired,
that people have to be forcibly re-
strained from indulging in 1t more
than 10 times, probably on the prin-
ciple that enough Of even q good thing
is a-plenty.
OF course, 1t is easy to understand
why boys and girls, their eyes blinded
by love dreams, their brains befud-
died with illusions and sentiment, the
hot blood of youth coursing through
their veins, should rush into mar
riage the first time. They, poor inno-
cents, know nothing about the hard
ships Of marriage-the inevitable sac
rifices it requires, the clash of temper
aments, the difficulties of adjustment
the giving and forgiving, the hard
work that it takes to support q family
and to make it comfortable. They
don't even know that they are marry

faults and weaknesses and irritating

Iced Tonic
For Summer
Home Facial
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE modern trend is definitely
away from complicated regimes
for the home facial. Still, it Is only
feminine to "go on a spree" once in a
while and get keen pleasure out of
slathering a half dozen creams and
lotions on face and neck-molding,
patting, primping and pampering the
skin to rosy glow. The skin often
welcomes change of diet and fairly
complete facial is stimulating and
thoroughly cleansing. Such a treat
ment is particularly fine before a very
important engagement.
For the casual comfort of Summer
time. however, most women like to cut
their daily facial routine down to the
minimum. And have found the fol-
lowing quick, effective, infinitely re-
freshing and altogether satisfactory.
First I wiring a large pad of cotton
out of cold water, dip into skin tonic,
then into my cleansing cream and 60
over face and neck several times. Re-
move the cream with tissues.
Next I pat with still larger pad of
cotton wrung out of the cold water
and dipped into the tonic.
Then the iced tonic Il always keep
my bottle on ice) is poured into an
atomiZer and I spray face and neck.
This is as refreshing as an ocean
plunge or cold shower. And this iced
tonic spray can be repeated several
times during the day, whenever you
happen to feel fatigued or wilted. In
an emergency the tonic spray can be
called upon to do both cleansing and
toning.
IF time permits you can change the
routine little, making it a very ef-
fective facial and nap before dinner.
Cleanse the skin first. Then dip q
very thin square of gauze into the
tonic making it just moist enough to
cling to the contour. Place ready
made eyepads or cotton pads dipped
into the tonic over the eyes. Spray
the tonic over the gauze. Then run
an ice cube over the gauze, over the
eyepads and under the chin. Lie
down in q darkened room. If you
don't fall asleep repeat the ice rub
and tonic spray q few times; but the
chances are you'll doze of before long
and when you awake you'll find your
skin and your eyes the fresher and
clearer.

Tax Control Necessary

Minnesotas tax problem is acute and must be
placed under control business agriculture is to
survive The new high 1886 tax levy together with
ever increasing delinquencies will place upon these
large tax paying agencies severe burden and if al
lowed to increase continually the will be disas
trous.
Taxation is important problem now before the
special session of the state legislature which is
fronted with the task of finding way to raise
funds to properly finance social security legislation

together with higher community levies, respon-
sibe for the highest tax rate levied the peo
pie of the State of Minnesota
Taxes too high and each year are increasing

this in view an expenditure control bill has been in
troduced in the special session 1t is designed pay

The purpose of this BILL briefly, is a. to provide
uniform accounting systems designed to check ap-
preparations with expenditures thug preventing div
erson of public funds (2) to provide payas-you-go

able plan has been adopted Many schemes have been
proposed, some of them worse than Others and mos.
of them entirely unavoidable Even the more moder-
ate old age pension plans which have been adopted
in several states have been disappointing to thosc
who expected to receive needed benefits under those
new laws of social security.
In Missouri, for example, bitter disappoint-
ment melted out to the needy aged, with the pas
levied for the avowed purpose of paying the most
needy persons over 70 years of age maximum of
$50 month. 1t estimated that the tax levied
would be sufficient to bear the load yet the estm
ates so inaccurate as to make it impossible to
pay much as So month according to state offc
ials.
Payments were expected to begin October 1, but
State Auditor Smith recently stated that it would be
impossible to make any payments at all until some
time next year. He said with schools automatical
ly taking one-third of all revenue, and relief costs
amounting to 100000 month, it's just mpossb-
ility to pay Gold age) pensions"
1t is to be hoped that in present session of
the state legislature such futile hopes will be held
forth to the aged and nfirm and that if old age
pension system is adopted it will be set forth in
workable and payable plan.

Royal Whitehall Palace
Where Henry VIII Married

Until the Eighteenth century the
royal palace of Whitehall occu-
pied most Of the land between
Charing Cross and Westminster,
London. Whitehall was known as
York place when Cardinal Wolsey
possessed 1t, and not until 1t passed
into the hands of Henry VIII was it
known as Whitehall. It was when
Wolsey fell from his greatness in
1929 that Henry VIII seized his
property and converted 1t into a
palace. For more than $50 years
Whitehall was the chief residence
Of the court in London. 1t was
there that Henry VIII married Anne
Boleyn in 1888.
In later years Queen Elizabeth
maintained the grandeur estab-
lished by her father. In front Of
this palace Charles I was executed
in 1649. Charles II made it a
scene of Tevelry and intrigue.
James II fled from Whitehall in
1883. The only part saved from
the fire Of 1893 was the banquet
ing hall, which Is now the museum
Of the United Service institution.
After the destruction of Whitehall
the court moved to St James pal
ace. The British court is still
known as 1.-THE Court of st. James,"
