Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.

AS YOU look back over your chain
of memories you will find men,
ory gaps. Your recollections of facts
might be somewhat distorted here and
there Called upon to give an account
of the past to 'the best of your
knowledge" you might easily produce
an account that varied considerably
from what actually happened. You
would believe this distorted chain Of
recollections. You might easily lead
even the most cautious to believe what
you said
Reverse the situation. Look forward
instead of backward. Build a picture
of the future instead of the past. You
are now in the kingdom of the pathO-
logical swindler. He deals in futuri-
ties. He tells you of what is sure 70
happen, just on the face of unfolding
events. It's all a sort of day dream,
a pure confabulation woven out OF
nothing but the fiimsiest of threads.
But his story seems entirely plausible.
Millions of dollars are thus annually
swindled out of unsuspecting clients.
The most cautious of investors fall
victims to swindlers.
1t requires an Unusual type Of per-
sonality to become a swindler. Per-
haps some uncanny instinct lies hid
den IN his makeup. No psychologist,
so far as I know, has traced this IN
stinct. or even adequately described 1t.
It's minute mental microbe that can
be implanted by the swindler into
healthy mental organism, creating an
intoxication. The pathological swim
dler makes your dream look like real
ity. And after a while, you awaken!

May Day Picnic Ideas.

May /, besides being child health
day, ushers in the season of May-pole
parties and picnics. Even to the tinsel-
crowned king and queen of the May
day march, the big event is not the
presence of the fife and drum corps
nor the admiration of bystanders, but
the opening of the lunch boxes.
The contents should be ample but
not elaborate. American or Swiss
cheese sandwiches spread with mus
tard, a meat sandwich spread with
catsup, solid fruits like apples or
oranges and generous wedge of gin
gerbread iced with chocolate froSting
make tasty picnic meal.
The sandwiches will be easier TO
handle if they are cut in May fairy
fashion. Use whole slices of bread and
cut them diagonally from the four
corners to make tiny triangles. Wrap
each piece in wax paper and seal with
a gummed floral seal, or cut little
flower pictures from magazines and
paste them on If the gummed seals
are not available in your neighborhood

ttaining
New Styles
In Couture
Requires Study Of
Head Contour
and Face.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

WITH such an infinite variety of
coiffure tricks and choices, there
is no excuse for any one looking
dowdy as to hair style. There is no
excuse, in fact, for any one looking
like any one else. Let an expert hair
dresser help you to achieve indi-
viduality. But in his and your own
quest for individuality and variety do
not overlook the fundamental prin-
ciples.
Remember that the hair is fun
damentally frame for your face
Remember, too, that modern hair
Stylists strive to have the hair style
do" things for your features, clev-
erly concealing the not-so-perfect fea-
lures and revealing or emphasizing
the better ones. A good hair style
should have balance as its essential
quality and should tend to give the
face perfect balance, too. More than
that, a good hair style will flatter
the figure as well as the face.
Do you know, for instance, that
the distance from the point of the
chin to the crown of the head should
be the same as the distance from
the nape of the neck around to the
hairline on the forehead? Do you
know that the coiffure should be in
proportion to the size of the face?
Some women labor under the mis-
taken impression that if the face is
very large sleek, close coiffure will
make it look smaller. Wrong. 1t
will only throw the face into relief,
making it look all the larger. The
coiffure should be soft and fluffed a
| little. Likewise if the face is small, q
heavy, fluffy coiffure will make it
look all the smaller The coiffure
though softly waved should be kept
quite close to the head.
| Another DO you know?" The
distance between the bridge of the
nose and the temple hairline should
| be the same as the distance between
nose tip and hairline on cheek. If the
latter is longer than the bridge to
temple line the eyes will appear
smaller: likewise a wave or curl
brought close to the eye will make
it look smaller than wave directed
backward.
And now let us see how the coiffure
affects the features. Waves pointing
| toward the nose emphasize its length.
A long, hooked nose, therefore should
| obviously not have the waves pointing
toward it. Instead, the movement
should be back with a deep swirl,
few soft curls over the ears To shorten
the line from the tip Of the nose to
the back of the head the coifure
should be fiat or slightly swirled at
| the back.
Exposing the ears throws the face
into relief. emphasizing the features
and the profile. Obviously, therefore,
| only those with very good features
should expose the ears.
| The center part also reveals the
features. That is why it is more or
/ less a tradition that only the classic
| beauty can wear it well. Furthermore
! the center part adds apparent width
to the face. More coiffure hints

in which brilliant men marry the
beautiful but dumb, otherwise sane
girls marry drunkards and roues and
ne'er-do-wells Just because they have
a way with them. and aged million
aires espouse bathing beauties.
But perhaps it is just here that
the course in marriage will do its
great and perfect work by teaching
its bright young pupils to be better
pickers. Perhaps boys will be taught
to regard what Is inside of a girls
skull more than the golden locks on
the outside Of it. Perhaps they will
be taught to put more stress on a
girls disposition than on the way
she dances. Perhaps boys will now
be taught in such a convincing fashion
that they will believe it, that mar
riage doesn't change a girl, only makes
her more so.
y + II
A ND perhaps girls will be taught
= that they are false alarms as re-
formatory agents, and to pick out a
man, for husband who has already
made good, instead of marrying a
wastrel and trying to make him over
into what they want him to be. Per-
haps they will be taught to try to
find out on the safe side of the altar
whether man expects his wife to be
a companion to him or a slave for
him. Perhaps girls will be taught
that the chief thing to look for in a
husband Is congeniality and that If
they can get men who like to do the
things they do and who have the same
taste in cooking. nothing else mat
ters much.
And think how many tears would
be saved and how many quarrels
avoided If girls were taught to cook
before marriage instead of learning
how on their poor defenseless hus-
bands! And, oh, boy. how it would
make for peace If every boy in the
matrimonial class had to begin the
days lessons by reciting: Rent bills.
Grocery bills. Meat bills. Servants
bills. Beauty-shop bills. Dress bills.
Hat bills. Shoe bills. Bills, bills, bills,
instead of assuming that every wife
grew her own fine feathers and could
run house on air!
And how many divorces 1t would
save If students were taught that
marriage should not be slavery; that
even husbands and wives had some
of the rights of an ordinary human
being, and that they should be treated
with the tact and courtesy one shows
. stranger. Oh, there Is great future
for the Marriage School, for there is
no other subject in the world Of which
the average man and woman know
so little as how to be a good husband
or wife. DOROTHY DIX.

Herce National Baby week.
Healthy babies are essential to the
life and progress OF nation. Tne
first requisite for healthy babies is
healthy parenthood How healthy are
the potential parents? What training
have they had for parenthood? Under
what conditions do they live? Are
they able to maintain the right kind
of a home for a baby? What is the
state of their mental health? Can
they rear and educate healthy, intelli-
gent children? These are questions
that the American people must an
swer solemnly, wisely, humanely.
What are the basic needs Of babies?
Healthy parents first. Every child is
entitled to be born right, with sound
body and sound mind.
Babies must have intelligent tend
snce. Mothers must be trained in
baby lore. They must know how to
bathe, dress, feed, train babies. Theirs
is a wide field of knowledge, covering
much human experience. Theirs must
be the healthy, mental outlook that
accepts life wholesomely and without
fear. After birth, as we'll as before,
a baby's life rests upon the health
and intelligence and training of its
mother.
The baby's food is essential to its
life. His chief food is milk, the purer
the better. The COW ought to be a
sacred animal, for she holds the power
of life and death over the baby whose
food she supplies.
Her health should be perfect. Pure
milk does not come from sick COW.
Her barn must be as clean as the
baby's crib. Pure milk cannot come
from dirty barn. The hands of the
mixer, the milking utensils should
be clean, sterilized, lest infection
reach the hope of Nation. Too much
attention cannot be called to the milk
supply. Its quality must be high
The inspection that maintains that
quality must be rigid and its findings
rigidly administered. A baby's life
hangs by hair oftener than we know
Babies are so tiny and so helpless
and the world SO big and so busy that
they are likely to be overlooked in the
rush and confusion-perhaps some oi
them lost. We cannot afford to lose
a single one. not even the scrawniest
and homeliest among them. He might
be the very one-the leader-on whom
the hope of the Nation might rest.
Save the babies. Help their mothers
Protect the milk supply. Strengthen
the hands of those who have this work
in hand. for they are serving you and
yours in serving the babies of the land
