As We Live Profit by Successes As Well as Mistakes ' It is common advice to sug gest one should profit by one's mistakes. But few people sug gest profiting 4S Dr. Horlock by one's sue cesses. And why not? Surely, no success is great enough that it could not be im proved upon. There Is no Question that one can learn a lot from one's mistakes. A per son who is smart will see to it , that a similar mistake does not happen again. Even when he is discouraged, ashamed and dis heartened, he sooner or later takes hold of himself, recognizes gome mistakes are inevitable, and then analyzes the cause or causes to make sure he will not do the same thing again. Profiting by mistakes is a way of learning what to do and what not to do. But, it is more often negative than positive in form. Most people emphasize the nega tive side, making mental notes that they must not do this or that in the future. But few carry through and decide what they should do in the future. Profiting by one's successes, on the other hand, is positive in to be more effective. The person who has done well, who is suc cessful and confident that he is recognized and respected by oth ers, may make the mistake of resting on his laurels, assuming that future successes will auto matically follow his earlier suc cesses.' . Will Analyze Successes However, if he is smart, he will not allow himself to be so blinded by his present success that he will be unable to see pos sible failures in the future. To avoid these, he will analyze his successes, just as a smart person will analyze his mistakes.' With this knowledge to work on, he will then be in a position to prepare himself to avoid pit falls that might lead to failures in the future. By strengthening his chances for success, he is likely to increase his successes. In this manner, his successful experiences can be turned to profit just as his unsuccessful ones are. , Questions Answers Forgetfulness: "My husband is one of . those men who forgets family birthdays, anniversaries, and errands I ask him to do. He seems to be able to remember well enough in his business, and I am wondering if this means By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. he is just selfish." T. W. (A) Your husband may be self ish, especially as you would ex pect him to be interested enough in his family to try to remember days in their lives which he knows are important. On the other hand, he may be so used to being reminded what to do in his business that he has not learned to assume the re sponsibility of remembering things himself. Why not try to remind him, in a tactful manner, of approaching events of importance to mem bers of the family, such as birth days? I am sure he is embar rassed by his forgetfulness and will welcome little reminders from you. Crowded Schedule: "I notice my children get tense and nerv ous when their days are crowd' ed. Is there some way I can cor rect this?" A. M. , (A) The only way you can cor rect your children's nervous ten sion is to relax their schedules so that they are not so crowded. Even adults become tense and nervous when they must do things under pressure. Children, who are accustomed to doing things at a slower speed, cannot stand up under the strain of pres sure. Try to plan their days to avoid pressure except in emer gencies. Trial Separation: "A year ago I decided I did not love my hus band and wanted a divorce. Our minister suggested a trial sep aration and assured me I would change my mind after a year. I haven't and think a divorce is the only solution. Do you agree?" U. D. (A) The tone of your letter suggests you decided you wanted the divorce before you tried the separation and that was that. If you have sincerely tried to get a better perspective on your marriage and still feel you can never be happy, then there is no reason to delay action on the di vorce if that is what you want. I am sure your husband would not want ou to come back, feeling as you do about your marriage. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.)

New York (U.R) Women change their hairdos and their hemlines and their taste in hus bands, but when it comes to good luck charms they'll take the same old four leaf clovers grandma trusted. , Our superstitions are highly reliable,, reports a young lady who specializes in designing charm bracelets. The horse may have lost out to the horseless carriage,, but the horseshoe has never been threatened by -the rubber tire as a good luck piece. Our sentimental moods : are something else again, Sheila Tucker added. You simply can't predict what women will pick as sentimental mementos. Has Jewelry Store Miss Tucker spends her days in a small Fifth Avenue" jewelry shop which boasts the world's largest collection of charms. If the 2000 bracelet charms in" the store don't fit your needs, Miss Tucker - will "sketch your .sen timental favorite, and have it made up. "Hardly a woman comes into the store who .doesn't-have a good luck charm on her brace let," the attractive brunette said. "Four leaf clovers and horse shoes are the favorites." She doesn't even try to out guess their sentimental favorites. One girl from Ohio wrote into the shop and asked them' to make up a gold charm in the form of Gregory Peck wearing a full dress suit. She wanted the jaw of the model hinged so that when it opened she could read, the inscription "I ado" en graved inside. Tombstone Charm The most macabre sentiment Miss Tucker recalls was from a woman who ordered a charm in the form , of a . tombstone, in scribed exactly as her father's tombstone was. One young woman who had completed her psychiatric treat ment ordered a charm in the form of a room with a tiny couch, a woman's figure re clining and a man seated next to rt taking notes. Women gener ally look for decorative charms, Miss Tucker said. Men who order sentimental charms for women are fond of commemorating spe cial dates. "The calendar charm is one of the most popular of all times," she said. Men are excellent at remem bering dates of their marriages or their wives' birthdays when they come in to order the charms, the ' designer said. But Solid Color & Woven Py T COTTONS ?

MEDFORD'S BARGAIN CORNER SIXTH AND CENTRAL they almost never can remember their children's birthdays if they decide to make it a family memento affair. Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture ' Many gardeners with a green thumb like to grow their own seedling plants as they have a greater choice of seeds and can grow a few each of several dif ferent kinds. ' With proper equipment this is a very satisfactory wayr of get ting plants. A small hotbed is highly desirable but where this is lacking the plants can be grown in a flat of soil placed in a sunny window. The seeds should be planted rather spar ingly and covered with a. little soil, it is generally considered that the seeds should be cover ed with soil to a depth about three times their diameter. They should then be watered after which time they can be cover ed with a piece of glass or a piece of paper until the seeds begin to sprout through the soil. They should then be left in an uncovered flat if in the house Transplanting Seedlings Planting the seeds thinly makes it unnecessary to trans plant them. Transplanting is needed only to supply the seed lings sufficient room in which to develop. vIf the seedlings are not grown thick there is better air circulation around them and less chance for damping pff. Damping off is a fungus trouble which is favored by warm moist conditions. This makes it im portant that the surface pf the soil be allowed to dry in be tween each watering. ' Damping occasionally . with fungicides will also hold down the amount of damping off. A good disinfecting solution can be made by mixing one level teaspoon of Semesan or Arasan in 1 1-3 quarts of water. One cup of this mixture is sufficient to drench 2 square feet of seed bed.- The seedlings should be drenched at the time of plant ing. If damping off appears one or two further applications may be necessary to hold it in check. Airs.
