biggest color splurge this spring

It doesn't matter how you arrive
at your color schemes just so you

trast them, add a startling dash Of
color to black or to white. You can
use several shade Of the same col
or, and by the way this using many
tones Of the same basic color is the
newest thing out.
Match the color of your veil TO the
color of your gloves for a high-style
gesture. You can tune your foot

your hat and your "hankie" and
your gloves to the three or so colors
that pattern your new plaid or stripe

and blouses. Tulip colors in acces-
series are also outstanding. Paris
raves about yellows and wheat
shades and mimosa and amber
tones. These colors are very popu-
lar right now for southern resort
wear. The citrus colors are excel
lent, especially lime. The FIRST"
hats to wear with dark furs are
breathing the breath of spring in
cool fresh-looking chartreuse. Violet
colors flourish in the new modes.
Navy for your new suit is chic
for spring and for your daytime
frock mustard shades are true

WHAT is THE REAL MEANING
OF PSYCHOANALYSTSe

THE first half of this word
l. psycho-is derived from the clas-
steal Greek word meaning the.
"soul." Hence, psychoanalysis is lit
orally the analysis of the soul: but
as the term is used today it means
the analysis of the hidden motives
that prompt us to do and say as we
do. We all know that there are
times when we cannot account for
our own actions; we surprise our
selves. The psychoanalysts seek to
unravel this mystery for us. They
have rendered mankind a distinct
service in making it possible to deal
more successfully with the unfortu-
nate such as the insane, the neu-
rotic and the criminal.

Smart Tor Spring

Big handbags will continue to be
fashionable all next spring and two
of the newest models are by Mar
jorie Dunton. One is daytime bag

inside of the bag, between the
two outside covers.
Another is one of those limp bags
so much in vogue, made of black
antelope with bracelet handle en-
broidered in gold and dangling
pearl ornament in blue and vivid

HERO OF THE HOSPITAL

Heroism is not found merely in
battle fields, and dramatic scenes
when people are saved from drown
ing, fires, etc. There are countless
heroes serving quietly every day in
hospitals and by beds of sickness.
One of them passed from this life
wnen DR.. Charles H. Mayo, famous
surgeon and one of the founders of
the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn.,
died of pneumonia. This grand man
of medical science had performed
thousands of operations, and $4,000
people resorted in one year to this
famous hospital. Such men live un-
der intense strain, and if their lives
end too early. it is probably because
they labored beyond their strength
to save life and health.

NATIONAL SPELLERS

A Washington dispatch tells how a
12-year-old girl. Elizabeth Rice, of
Auburn, Mass, won the champion
ship of the national spelling bee. In
an age when so many people are in
accurate and careless, it is pleasant
to see revival of spelling contests.
The English language is thicket Of
inconsistencies as respects spelling.
The way words are pronounced often
gives no idea how they are spelled.
Learning a spelling lesson is like
asserting authority over a bunch of
tricky children, who try to behave in
ar irregular and rebellious manner.
A good speller is like a teacher who
can make a roomful of refractory
kids toe the mark and do their
work.

TOWNS THAT HAVE CHARM

Charm is a quality highly valued
by people, and 1t can also be possess
ed by towns. 1t can be had in any
town. whether or not many of its
people are wealthy. Some of the
most charming communities are
made up largely of small and mod
crate sized homes. In these places
attention is paid to neatness and
beauty. People will not tolerate
anything that looks run down, they
keep disorder cleaned up. and their
houses are painted when they need it.
They are well adorned with trees,
shrubs. flowers and vines, all system
atically placed. Lovely color gives
a touch of romance to these places.
Green lawns make these grounds
look like a nicely cared for park.
Small sums of money produce these
beautiful effects. though they do call
for some labor and care. The re-
wards abundantly pay for the ef-
fort.

WHITE CROSSES IN FRANCE

The American Memorial day was
observed in France by ceremonies
under the French and American flags.
Detachments of French troops and
American delegations visited the
cemeteries where thousands of Am
erican soldiers lie buried, and paid
fitting honors.
Who that has ever seen those war
cemeteries, with their acres and
acres covered with rows of simple
white crosses, can ever forget them?
Those little crosses tell a very elo-
quent story. AS Jesus Christ died on
a cross to save the world. so those
men died to save the idea of dem
ocracy. Since they died. it has not
seemed as if they accomplished a
great deal, as democracy is in greater
peril than ever. Yet when men give
their lives for an idea, the idea rises
up strong and vital against those who
would destroy it.

HOLIDAYS ENDING IN GRIEF

About 30S deaths resulted from
Memorial day activities on May 80
Automobile accidents accounted for
more than half of them, and there
were 6S drownings. 1t is one of the
tragic ironies of life, that days ap-
pointed to promote patriotism. or to
give people happy holiday. newt
ably result in tragedy to some.
Those who were out on the main
arteries of travel on Decoration day,
and saw long lines of automobiles
struggling to keep their places in the
traffic, will perhaps wonder that not
more than 175 deaths resulted from
this thronging travel. Also millions
of young and old folks splashing
happily in the water suggested. that
more than 6S might sink to rise no
more.
Anyone who resolved to be abso-
lutely safe, might decide to stay
quietly in his home and avoid any
activity that could possibly end in
grief. But one who thus avoided the
perils of life, might die from pre-
mature decay. or slip on his floor,
and fall to a fatal end on his own
stairs.

GRADUATION THOUGHTS

The graduating essays and ora
tions of schools and colleges used to
give an opportunity for a great COM
pGny of brilliant young folks to re-
veal their thoughts to the world. The
graduating exercises of many schools
and colleges omit this feature now,
except when the seniors reveal their
thoughts at class-day exercises. Still,
the world usually gets a glimpse at
this time of what the modern student
thinks.
The youth of a former generation
found il easier to tell the world
what to do. Life seemed somewhat
simple in those days. Graduation
vas then a time of the utmost hope
and confidence. The graduate was
pretty sure of job, and he had a
fairly clear idea of what was the
trouble with the world. He offered
advice which was usually good. Only
it often assumed that the world
wanted to be reformed, which in most
cases it didn't.
Today the graduate looks out on a
haffled, perplexed and selfish world.
The hopes which his parents enter
tained at his age seem visionary
now. The graduate can't be blamed
If he has given up the task of re-
forming the world. 1t is all he can
do to find a place where he can live
himself. and do something that the
world wants done. The modern grad
uate does not often seem like cru
sader going out to create better
world. He looks more like a boy
who finds the time has come to jump
into the water and see if he can
swim.
At least this attitude stimulates
energy. If he succeeds in remaining
afloat, as in most cases he will, he
will have practical ideas how his
fellowmen can be saved from drown
ing amid the sea of modern troubles.
If he is called on for remarks at
graduation day, his thought may run
along these lines.

Using THE LAWN MOWER

If you want your home place to
look we'll, better use the lawn now
er regularly. Some people allow the
grass to grow too long, and as a
consequence 1t is harder to push the
mower through the tall grass. A
lawn seems to flourish better when
it is moved regularly and frequent
ly.
If you keep those stalks Of grass
we'll trimmed, they have tendency
to send out new shoots which fill up
the empty spaces. But II you allow
them to grow too long. they run up
in a scattered way. and the lawn
won't have the smooth and velvety
appearance that adds such lot to
the looks Of a place.

PENALIZING AGGRESSORS

A strong feeling exists among many
of the finest people that the United
States should not sell war supplies
TO nations that start and carry on
wars. If we are ever to have world
peace, it is argued. it should be made
difficult for warlike countries to OBJ
tain fighting weapons.
That idea may be right, but it is
not always easy to tell who the ag-
gressor is when the guns begin shoot
ing and everybody gets excited. The
American people thought in 1917 that
Germany was the only aggressor in
the World war. but when they found
out how all the nations had acted
they were not so sure. You never
get the whole story until you have
listened patiently to both sides in
any dispute.

YOUR SPARE TINE

What do you do with the hours
when you are not working, eating, or
sleeping? Does this spare time all
go into the sports and pastimes you
like best?
If you and the rest of your towns
people spend all your spare time
that way. your home town is likely
to drag behind. There may be such
a lack of prosperity that you will
lack money to do the things you want
to. If you want prosperity, 1t is best
70 devote a certain amount of that
spare time to efforts calculated to
build up the home town. If the peo-
pie maintain organizations and ac-
tivities that make the town success
full, beautiful, interesting and pleas
ant, it is going to grow in prosper
ity. That gives people more money,
and their spare time will bring them
greater satisfaction.

GAINS AND LOSSES

Business people take inventories
from time to time. They figure care
fully their gains and losses. They
consider also the extent Of deprecia-
tion of their plant, and improvements
that have been added.
A community should take careful
account of stock at frequent inter-
vals, and ask whether it is gaining
or losing. There is a certain amount
of depreciation going on all the time.
The community should look over its
equipment, and be able to show i'm
portant new improvements each year
to Offset the inevitable deterioration
which comes with time.

KEEP MONEY CIRCULATING

There are complaints that while
there is plenty of money in circula-
ton, 1t does not circulate rapidly
enough to give everybody work. One
trouble in many places is not that
it does not circulate, but that 1t cir
culates out of the town so fast The
people, or many of them, rush to cir
culate their money somewhere else
by buying In larger places.
That is as bad for the home town
as to have the money hidden in
boards and never used. II your mon
ey is going to do you the maximum
amount of good, better see that it
circulates right around where you
live, by spending it In the home
stores. Then, If everyone will do the
same. the money will keep going
round and round and benefiting us
all.

ers. Our people have long been rails
ed to believe that man must work
TO live. That If he doesn't work he
will go hungry. Our people must go
on being taught this theory, If they
are to remain a strong, and inde-
pendent type of people. For seven
years we have taught our people
that government owes them a living
and that the rich and powerful are
mistreating the underprivileged.
They are taught that those who toll
and struggle are no better off than
the thriftless, improvident and lazy.
This must stop. We must again build
up a strong, virile people. We need a
return to plain, hard work, self-sac-
rifice and grim determination. Let's
helD our people, by helping business
and industry absorb those that are
unemployed.

THE WEDDING MONTH

June, sweet month OF roses, is alsC
called month Of weddings. Even il
the country is not as prosperous as Il
could be, even If the chances of earn
ing living do not seem wholly sure
the young people keep marrying
Countless young folks have been
asking what it costs to support q
family, and If two can live as cheaply
as one. These questions are extreme
ly vital.
The real issue goes deeper than
any question of money. 1t is whether
young people contemplating mar
riage have that harmony of aim and
that capacity for self-sacrifice which
go so far to make a successful mar
riage.
Life has made young people more
serious than they were a few years
ago. Not so many are getting mar
ried in a merely play spirit. just to
have fun. The problems of modern
life force them to look at the world
in a more practical way. The num-
Der who enter matrimony merely un-
der sex fascination or from a tenn
porary whim, will probably be good
deal less than it was a few years
ago.
The Episcopal Book of common
prayer says that the holy estate of
matrimony is not to be entered into
"unadvisedly or lightly, but reverent-
ly, discreetly, advisedly. soberly, and
in the fear of God" 1t calls on the
welded couple to love, comfort, hon
or, and cherish, for better or worse,
in sickness and in health.
The wedding day fills hearts with
as longings are satisfied,
and love comes with its sweetness to
say 20 promise me-" Life brings
many trials, and there are dull and
dreary days of work and toll. But if
there is love at home. the thorny path
can be turned to one of glad smiles,
and there will be flowers all the
way.

FLAG DAY, JUNE IA

On June IA, 1777, the congress OF
the United States, but then feeble
little union of 13 scattered colonies,
adopted what was practically the
present form of the national flag.
1t was a bold step, as it indicated
that the colonies were firmly deter
mined to obtain their own independ-
ence.
A few years previous to the adop-
ton of that national emblem, not
many people held the idea that this
country would or could attain inde-
pendence. The patriots were in the
main protesting against injustices
committed by the English king and
his ministers, but not many expected
tc set up an independent government.
They merely asked for reforms and
justice under the old crown.
But as those years swiftly passed,
as acts of tyranny and injustice fol-
lowed, the idea took deep root that
only by actual independence and a
new form of government could the
American people maintain their
rights and establish justice. Their
declaration of independence July 4,
1916, was daring act. 1t was likely
enough, if the independence move
ment had been put down, that many
of its leaders would have paid with
their lives for this daring act of
courage.
So when in less than year after
the Declaration of Independence. the
national flag was adopted, it indi-
Gated the firm desire to stick it out
and obtain freedom, or take the risk
of dying in the attempt.
The stars of the flag have this
deep significance, that they are all
alike. No one star is greater or
brighter than its comrades. Some
states have always been big states,
some small states, in population, but
i'll the union of this flag they are all
alike.
So should it be under the flag in
American life. Some folks are big,
some are little, in their powers and
attainments. But in their rights and
a fair chance to obtain what they are
able to produce, and secure the
benefits of American life, they should
stand alike as do the stars in our
flag.

Repeal, modification, or continuance

Farm Measure

Congress is being pressed with
farm measures. The Department of
Agriculture's big record-breaking
annual appropriation totaling almost
one and a quarter billions, is in con-
ference, sent there by the unusual
procedure of a special rule in the
House to expedite it. Subsidies of
S225, 100000 for farm parity pay
ments and $113,OOO.OOO for distribu-
tion of surplus commodities are the
cause of the controversy. These two
classes were written into the House
hill by the Senate.

Coast Guard Base

The House passed a Senate bill
authorizing construction of a Coast
Guard Base at Kodiak. Alaska, at a
cost of s2,733,00O to be built jointly
with a naval air base there. This bill
is for the purpose of Strengthening
the Coast Guard as an arm of ma
tional defense. The bill authorizes
building a newcruiser at a total cost
of $9.O00,0 900 and the construction of
fifteen new Coast Guard airplanes
totaling s2,490,O00.
