Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
Ideas.


IDEAS are puzzling things. Whence
do they come? And what causes
them to come and succeed one an
other?
Suppose you take an easy chair
beside the fire, relax and. let your
ideas come and go. Try this expert
ment for half an hour. Then go
back over that half hour of free play
of Imagination and try to find the
sources.
Some psychologists maintain that
each idea is caused by the one that
Immediately preceded it. And they
maintain that this chain of ideas
reaches from the cradle to the grave
It's the so-called law of determinism.
On that score the laws of mental
life are as exact and regular as the
rules of mathematics.
Others maintain that ideas are the
remembrances of past experiences
coming together in various combina-
tions. Whatever combination appears
al given tlIlle SO dS W SeIlcIdtc q
general notion or idea is merely a
novel combination of perhaps many
images of the past.
The second theory seems to be the
better. At least one thing seems cer-
tain. Many of our ideas originate
in the subconscious We can no more
trace them to their original source
than We can recall the contents of an
ordinary dream 10 minutes after we
attempt to recall it.
About all you can say is that
something happens in the present
which arollses something you had
forgotten. And another idea is the
product.

My Neighbor Says:

Remember when laying out
your rose garden in the Spring
that rose bushes must not be
planted where there are trees
or shrubbery to shade them. They
need plenty Of air, sunshine and
a clay soil.
The so-called cord attached to
your electric iron is not a cord;
it is two bundles of wires. Don't
twist 1t or bend it or tie it in
knots.
Instead of basting garment
before stitching it. pin the parts
together with pins placed verti-
cally on the edge Of the goods,
and stitch inside the pins.
The success of frying depends
upon two things, having enough
fat to completely cover the arti-
cles cooked in it and having the
fat smoking hot.

WHEELER RAPS
RAIL ABUSES
International News Service


The preliminary Senate inquiry
into the financial Setup of the
3,OOO-million dollar Van Sweringen
railroad empire reveals the neces-
sity for legislation outlawing rail-
road holding companies and
strengthening the control powers
Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Chairman Wheeler DD
OF Montana declared today.
Wheeler expressed amazement
at revelations that the late Van
Sweringen brothers controlled over
100 railroads, with $4,000 miles
OF tracks, through a holding cor.
poratlon, while investing only a
trlfle OF the empires actual value
He charged the holding company
system eventually placed the Van
SWeringen empire in the hands of
New York bankers, since it had
to be financed constantly from
Wall Street. Wheeler said:
even the preliminary inquiry
mas demonstrated the abuses OF
the holding company system to
such an extent they ought to be
outlawed. And the revelations
thus far show the need of Iegis-
latlon to strengthen the hands
Of the /. C. c."

policy, the effect OF, which Is to push
open the channels of world inter-

he has been as successful as he has Is
remarkable because he has run against
what has been the current of world
forces since 1929. and has often been
out Of line with the domestic policies
Of his own Government. 1t was
lamentable that the Republican party,
attacking on the one hand the. New
Deal gestures toward planned produc-
ton, should, at the Same time have
singled out Mr.. Hull for = specific
attack. There were plenty Of people in
Cleveland at the convention who knew
1t, and they, were the people who
organized the nomination Of Mr..
Landon. But in respect Of tariff policy,
they did not prevail, except to see
that the platform had some escape
clauses. But the Governor himself
in his Minnesota speech pledged him
self to trade confined to nom
competing commodities. That is Mr..
Peek's idea, and in the larger sense

Whereas the new agreement reas-
sures economic freedom, it was not
accomplished by laissez faire, which
would have resulted in raids of one
nation upon, another's currency. 1t
was accomplished by the exercise Of
government control. without that II
would have been impossible, It is .
new thing in the world that govern
ments and central banks should agree
that 1t Is their business to cooperate
to keep their neighbors' economies in
balance. On some such basis in 1919
a League of Nations might have been
established which would not have
stalled in fiasco.
Gesture Toward Peace.
1t Is the most constructive gesture
since the war toward world peace.
Recently I have had the opportunity
to look through an enormous dossier
on the peace societies of the United
States. There are scores of them, and
they have a dozen programs. On only
one thing is there a consensus of
agreement among them: War Is the
result OF jammed and chaotic world
trade and of market monopolies. Yet
everything has been done for peace
except to clear these channels. The
Leagues peace efforts have been for
collaboration in an emergency against
some one-against the possible ag-
gressor. Economic cooperation has
been confined to sanctions with a
punitive purpose. Today We begin to
think at last Of economic cooperation,
Of an enlightened self interest, to con-
slider the preservation of peace by
making economic peace. That is q
new chapter.

but 1t will go through. AS I write
this column the bill devalusting the
franc has passed the Chamber by $50
to 22l votes. IT may hPve a harder
time in the Senate Ard It is quite
possible that M. Blum may succeed in
policy only to fail personally. that the
price Of devaluation may be his resig-
nation. But If he goes he will have
accomplished great thing and set
France on the road to recovery. Those
who have opposed him will continue
his work.

CHICAGO, September 30.-Repre-
sentative Marvin Jones. Texas Demo-
crat and chairman of the House
Committee on Agriculture. said in q
statement issued yesterday by the
Roosevelt Agricultural Committee that
farm prices and prices of goods
purchased by farmers ARE nearer TO
parity than at any time since 1929"
The Texas Congressman said Chair
man John Hamilton Of the Repub-
lican National Committee on Sunday
made "a frank avowal that he be-
lieves that present farm prices are
too high"
"Mr. Hamilton" said Representa-
tive Jones was quoted as advocating
fair prices and full crops
Chairman Hamilton did not define
either fair prices or full produc-
tion,' but it is obvious that he thinks
present farm price levels too
high.
Apparently Chairman Hamilton In
advocating lower farm prices has
abandoned all hope of obtaining the
farm vote. But new promises OF
cheap food will not seduce city wage
earners. They have learned from Bit
ter experience that cheap food means
low wages.
IF Chairman Hamilton in discuss
ing farm prices and retail food prices
would give specific data, his position
would be more understandable . ."
