The most virtuous person seeks what gives him pleasure—at least some of the time. According to Dr. J. Groen, Dutch psychologist, crim inality is caused by disharmony between the wish for pleasure and the demands of reality—by a person’s wanting to enjoy life and not knowing how to do so without getting into trouble. This may be due to defective mentality, to un realistic early training, or occa sionally to having been brought up with such rigid moral stand ards that one gives up trying to raach them. Are eccentric people “crazy”? Answer: Certainly not always. Insane people may and do “act strangely,” but so to a less degree do many men and women who are quite aware of what they’re doing and have what they regard as good reasons for it. On the whole, a healthy-minded person will pre fer to follow the conventions be cause it saves time and trouble, but there’s no fixed rule as to how rigidly he’ll do so. The fact that a man has nerve enough to order raw steak if he likes it—or a plump woman will not wear a girdle— may show only exceptional inde pendence. Should a parent be afraid to say, “I don’t know”? Answer: Certainly not. A child who is old enough to ask questions you can’t answer should be able to face the fact that no one knows everything, and the longer this discovery is put off, the more of a shock it will be. Children should be taught that knowledge is like money; it’s not given for nothing, but has to be worked for. But when possible, say, “I don’t know, but I will try to find out,” and encourage children to do the same. With an adult or a child, the person who fears to “display his ignorance” will never over come it STEPHEN, THE' FIRST CHRISTIAN. AAARTYR WAS CON DEMNED CONTRARY TO .

Barton W E ALL HAVE a great deal of sympathy for the lonely chil dren in various children’s institu tions, It is hard enough for men and women away from loved ones to have the days and nights pass in loneliness, but a little child with out loved ones to comfort him brings an even sadder vision. I have written before about the children’s hospital in which the nurses “Cuddled up” little children and babies. This soothed the little ones mentally and physically and helped them to eat and sleep peace fully. That patients in various military hospitals are suffering loneliness was disclosed by a survey conduct ed by the psychiatry and neurology division ef Veterans’ administra tion. Hus was reported in “The Journal of the American Medical Association.” Of 52,000 mental pa tients in V.A. hospitals, one-third have been visited by neither fam ily nor friends for a year or more. In one hospital only 219 of 785 patients had had a visitor diming the previous year. While this seems terrible neglect on the part ol families and friends, it is only too true that some veterans are bettez off without visitors because ther« is something, of which the rest of us know nothing, that causes severe disturbances when visitor and pa* tient meet. I have written before of a boxer, who had been “knocked out” by blows to the head several times, whom I visited regularly for som« years. I was about to get him dis- charged from the hospiteL He took a job and did well fox awhile but finally had to return to the hospitaL When I made my next visit, al£>ough I was his only visi tor, I distrubed him and the physi cian in charge of his case agreed that my visits would not help him. Dr. Harvey J. Tompkins, chiei of the psychiatry (behavior) and neurology (structure of brain and nerves) division states that whils visitors might be disturbing in some instances, they would be high ly beneficial to the patients in th« majority of cases. If a person, attempting to reduce, achieves no weight loss after cut ting down on eating and exercising regularly, he should ask his physi cian about drugs to curb his appetite. • • • Bhuematism causes more dis ability and loss of time than any other ailment except nervous and mental diseases. Sometimes after removal of ton sils and adenoids, growths of some tissues similar to tonsils and adenoids occur in the throat. • • • One of the commonest causes ai defective hearing is impacted wax in the outer ear. • • • Emotional disturbances ma> cause asthma. Time of Planting Loss Curb Factor Earworm, Other Damage To Crops Avoidable Earworm damage to field and sweet corn and to other vegetation can be reduced by the time of planting. Early tomatoes and string beans and alfalfa foliage, partic ularly in the late summer, are also damaged by earworms. In this research it was soon ob served that damage to early plant ings by the earworm was related to the time of planting. This led to a series of studies on different varieties of field and sweet com to determine the optimum time of mm&m mm * - 'o Sf.. v ‘vCv '• J. ■’ ■ ■ 4 ■ ' W V. ^ '^''•'.^^5 . -.‘A ’X«< ■' • ' NV •.

Recent observations have shown that the critical stage of injury is the silking date. It was learned that three-fourths of the earworm eggs laid on com silks were deposited on fresh silks before the silks started to wilt. Dates of planting field com in the midwest that are recommended as a result of this research are May 1 for field com; May 1 for sweet com varieties requiring long growing seasons; May 15-18 for varieties of sweet com needing medium growing seasons. IPC. New Weed Killer, Showing High Promise The new alphabetical weed kill er, IPC, that was humorously hailed as the eventual successor to the lawnmower in press releases because of its grass growth control possibilities, is in reality showing a tremendous promise as a selec tive grass killer in a variety of crops. Virgil Freed, associate agrono mist fqr the Oregon state college agricultural experiment station, re ports this to be the case after ex periments with the weed killer. Conceding that work with IPC as a lawn grass growth regulator is still in its earliest experimental stages. Freed points out that IPC’s uses as a weedy grass killer in legumes, seed crops, vegetable crops, strawberries, orchards and perennial grasses are advanced enough to tab the chemical nearly as valuable as 2,4-D.

U.S. bureau of labor statistics show that building materials that could have been bought for $1 back in 1926, cost $1.89 today. Food that would have cost $1 back in those days, now costs you $1.51. A dollar’s worth of textiles at 1926 ^rice lev els, today costs $1.37. Fuel and lighting materials cost $1.30. Remote-Control Switch Convenient ior Farmers Farmers now can turn their farm yard light off and on from a half-dozen places with a new, re mote-control multiple switch. A farm electrification specialist explains that the heart of this new control is a magnetic relay which will turn the light on or off from as many points as desired by means of simple push-button switches. It is said the unit is very economical to operate and easy to install. WOMAN'S WORLD Both Short and Long Hair Styles Need Grooming for Real Beauty ,By Ertta Haley W HETHER YOU WEAR your hair long or short, the beauty of your coiffure depends on tb? real care and grooming you give to those tresses. For some, short styles are becoming and youthful, while to others, slightly longer, more curly hair is best. In the fi nal analysis, however, how your hair looks to others depends not so much on the style you wear it, but rather on its sheen, cleanliness and orderliness. Fashion, this season, allows op portunity to change ypur hairdress. Though shorter hair is still fashion able, there is indication that a longer, more curled hairdress is on the way. However, no matter which trend you choose to follow, true hair beauty depends upon the health and cleanliness of the actual hair. Unless you have real problem hair, a minimum of care will give maximum results. Brushing, which takes a little effort, will give your hair a sheen and gloss such as nothing else. A weekly shampoo or a shampoo every two weeks will keep the hair full of vitality ahd prevent it from becoming matted.. Hair cuts and permanents, when indicated for your particular type of hair, will do the rest. The daily and weekly care suggested above will then help you keep the hair ixi best possible appearance daily with the least possible effort. There’s one thing about hair care which pays big dividends: be faith* Select hair style ful about it. Though you may have an attractive style and good per manent, don’t neglect the daily brushing and shaping to the head which will train the hair to fall in exactly right places. Brush Hair Dally For Best Results Hair will not get exercise unless you put forth the effort. The scalp needs stimulation, and you must provide this with brushing if you «unt the tresses to have vitality glow. Besides, once you get into a daily brushing habit, you won’t give it up readily. A good plan includes a five min ute brushing in the morning, and then 10 minutes in the evening. Use a natural bristle brush of med ium stiffness for best effects. When you get rhythmic strokes izito brushing, this little beauty routine goes along rapidly. Direct the movement up and out from the scalp. A little half twist of the wrist as you complete each stroke helps carry the brush to the very tip ends of the hair. It’s an advantage to use your brush, too, for smoothing, thus letting you help, train the hair into according to facial contours, {he pattern of your coiffure. If there is any stiffness present in the hair after it has been sham pooed and set, brush out the curls before you readjust them with a comb. In this way you help the hair look more natural. Shampoo Hair When Necessary There’s no hard and fast rule as to when the hair must be sham pooed. If the hair is oily, if it is exposed to dirt, grime, soot, etc.. It will probably need more fre quent shampoos. Beauty experts say the best rule to follow is to wash the hair when it needs it. With so many gbod shampoos and rinses cm the market, you don’t have to wait for a barrel full of rainwater to have the essential shampoo! Start the shampoo with a warm water rinse. This removes the sur face dirt and makes it easier to spread the shampoo through the hair. Two sudsings are usually enough to clean the hair well, but three are necessary if the hair is excessively oily. If you have not tried a creme rinse for the hair after washing, you’ll be delighted with results. A small amount of the preparation is diluted with warm water, then Curl Short Hair The wispy hairs in the neck line section which used to be covered with long page-boy bobs or flowing curls have be come a problem with short hair styles. Upless these little ends curl Into the line of the coiffure, and stay there, they can spoil the loveliest hair-do. Midget-sized spin curlers which come with home permanent have been specially designed for the wispiest short hair, solve the problem. poured through the hair. Rinse hair in clea^ warm water. This type of rinse softens the hair, a fact which you will appre ciate if living in a hard water area, and helps get out all the soap. Your own natural hair color will gleam and shine since there is no mineral film dulling the high lights. It also helps eliminate the tangles and snarls which so often cause you to tear the hair and give you unruly lines with which to cope while dressing th^ hair. How to Have Success In Home Permanents. Pick a day and time of day when you’re not too tired to give the permanent adequate time and at; tention. If you feel you need help, be certain your helper will be as free from other cares and tasks, just as you. Give yourself the pre-permanent shampoo. Use no rinse except warm water on the hair before the permanent. Follow directions for blocking the hair and making the curls, so they aren’t just scattered hit and miss over the head. The; resulting wave will look more professional when the hair is properly blocked. Watch the timing of the wave carefully. If you try to hurry the wave, the aair may be curly through the first shampoo or two, but then waves relax and you may not feel you’re getting enough good from the permanent. Give the neutralizer plenty of time and opportunity to do its work since this is 'the chemical which makes the permanent wave. The shorter the hair, the longer the wave will last. If v you have very heavy hair, it’s a good ideal to have it properly thinned so the weight of the hair does not pull down the curls. Proper brushing, shampooing and other daily grooming will help you keep the wave looking nice for g long time. Select Styles That Flatter Your Face The current trend is toward slightly longer, more curled hair. The hairdresses for Spring, how ever, will be sleek, whether long or short. Most of the long hair will be molded to the head with flat, forward turning curls. Short styles are more fluffy with high curls, waved bangs or all over curl arrangements. In high fash ion styles, the back of the head is side-swirled, leaving a flat look with no curls. The front is then re lieved with flat curls or deep waves. I You may feel that some experi mentation is necessary before you can actually decide on a hair style. Do this with comb and brush when your hair is during one of its easily managed days. Then, when It’s time to cut and shape the hair, you’ll have some idea of what it’s to look like. For the full round face, sweep the hair upwards in a soft bunch of curls to lengthen the features. Long, narrow faces can be short ened with bangs and somewhat fluf fy side treatments. Heart-shaped faces can wear hair in slmost any style, but since this type of face is rare, you may have to resort to tricks for the other types of faces. Have the hair style match both your age and your figure. The ma ture woman who seeks to be poised and well groomed will have little, or should have little to do with fluffy ringlets flying all about her head. By the same token, no teen ager should seek after the sleek, side-swirled tresses that would look much smarter on her mother.

Majority of Taxpayers Unaware Of Hoover Commission's Report By WALTER A. SHEAD E VERYONE who knows anything about the racommendatians of tha President’s committee for the reorganization of the executive branch of the federal government thlnka they are a good thing for tha country and will save the taxpay ers a lot of money if put into ef fect and tha taxpayer* are for that The trouble is, 68 per cent of the taxpayers or the people know noth ing about this report or its recom mendations end congress seldom, if ever, takes any action on any subject about which more then two- thirds of the people are ignorant The Gallup poll says this is true, that of the 31 per cent who do know something about the report 25 per cent favor the main suggestions, 2 per cent were unopposed and four per cent had no opinion. But what’s wrong when then- sands of dollars hax«.been spent and millions of words used In newapapars, * magazines, phamplets, etc., * and' on the radio and television to tell the people about this report . . . better known as the Heaver pert? Several months ago' It was rt- ported in this column that some or ganizations wars seeking to play politics and make the Hoover re port an issue in this congressional campaign. They still are. Although as a matter of fact the people who comprise the Hoover committee it self have leaned over backward in attempting to avoid politics and approach the entire program ob jectively. * • • • Axm fp Grind But what has happened in Oils: Several large organizations sup porting tha program hava certain axas to grind. Newspaper releasee almost invariably read like an in dictment of the Truman adminis tration with such phrases as “sin ful waste and extravagance of the vast army of bureaucrats” ... or “despite recent improvements in many agencies of government, the 1951 budget still covers up much of the waste, duplication, payroll pad ding and inefficiencies exposed by the Hoover commission.” Now “payroll padding” la a felony. Congressman J. Parnell Thomas recently went to prison for payroll pSdding in his office. But the publicists for the Hoover report do not spare the adjectives, nor the inUendoes, nor outright libel such as was pointed out above. The United States chamber of its president engages in a dog fight with powerful American Legion < recommendations on veterans penditures . . . other orga castigate the department culture when the big farm izations like the department Mr. Reaver, the only former president, Is fc throughout the publicity when mast American remember his - unfortunate administration.

Despite what many of these a ganizations may believs, tha av erage American does not take kind ly to attempts to make his govern ment leaders look stupid, nor his' gevemlnent the mess the publicists have attempted to picture as a result of the Hoover report: And this is not to say that there are many instances of dupli cation, of waste, and even of in efficiency in some branches of tha government. But this is to Say that if brickbats are to be thrown in connection with the Hoover report or any other rg- port, then they should be aimed at the source of all waste, extrava gance, employment and govern ment money, namely the congress.
