SUGAR *Vnr THEN* you need stimolation, eat a few lumps VERSUS \/Y / of sugar—and you’ll get as much “kick” as ALCOHOL ff from an alcoholize cocktail. So claims a medical research, man of high standing in his profession. “Most people will laugh at that statement,” he adds, “but it’s a chemical truth. The sugar positively will stimulate the physical body as much as the cocktail. The mental exhilaration may seem greater from a cocktail than from a lump of sugar, but that's chiefly the power of the imagination. The cocktail drinker gets a ‘kick’ because he expects it, is firmly convinced! that he’ll get it. Sugar doesn’t seem to give this same effect—because the sugar eater doesn't expect it, hence his imagination doesn’t create it.” * Mental stimidation is, at least 50 per cent imagination. A strong whisky highball, if you tell the drinker it is very weak, is not apt to stimulate him mentally as much as a weak one if you tell him it’s half whisky, half ginger ale. Exhilaration and depression are largely states of mind. Sugar in the stomach is like coal in the furnace. It rapidly is converted into heat and energy. That’s why so many athletes, especially football players, instinctively crave a few lumps of sugar before they enter a contest. Many candy fiends are really “sugar drunkards.” Did you ever notice that some girls who constantly munch candy are geared up to an emotional exhilaration that resembles intoxication? If you want to prove all this, try what the doctors call the “finger weight test for exhaustion.” Hitch a small weight (about two ounces) to your forefinger. Then count how many times, with your hand parallel with the floor, you can raise and lower the finger and its attached weight. Your finger will get exhausted and the little weight will seem to weigh a ton. Try the same experiment again, after eating "several lumps of sugar, and you’ll be able to lift the little weight a tenth or a fifth more times. The stimulat %n from sugar is of longer duration than the “kick” from alcohol. Also, sugar does not have alcohol’s depressive reaction, WHY harems are rapidly becoming fewer, FEWER I says Bessie Beatty of McCall’s Magazine. HAREMS JL “The economic conditions brought about by the Balkan wars. World War and the present war with Greece have made the upkeep of expensive establishments prohibitive. Harems are being reduced in size to meet the ever diminishing incomes, and many men cannot afford to maintain them at all.” High price is the greatest prohibition agent. It’s just a question of time until high price of hooch will stop most of the drinking. It isn t the original cost of a thirst, it’s the upkeep. OUR t ETAIL prices of food last Dec. 15 were 36 FOOD per cent higher than in 1013. in Indianapolis. PRICES .A. w In Richmond. Va.. the figure was 57 per cent. So reports the Government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. There is quite a spread between those figures. It emphasizes how unevenly the back-to-norinal movement is progressing in different parts of the country. The same is true with classes, the farmer being the worst sufferer from deflation. In time, however, a general balance will he re-established. Prices, like water, ultimately seek a common level.

Pearl White, Film Star, Is Fugitive in French Convent From Dual Personality

Screen Self Fights for Power Over Real Nature of Demure Woman. B;/ -V EA Service PARIS, Jan. 18.—Pearl White (herself) is p fugitive from Pearl White! The real Pearl White, is a refugee in an Alpine convent frorp the Pearl White, the great American movie-going public knows as the queen of screen thrillers. Pearl White presents a rare study for psychologists. Demure, discreet, dignified—that is Pearl White’s personality. Dashing, dauntless, daring—that' is Pearl White's false personality. Personality No. 2 is her screen personality. It’s the personality that has leaped from precipes, swam boiling torrents, leaped from speeding train to speeding train, jumped horses over yawning ravines, risked airplane adventures. Screen Personality Sticks All went well so long as the real Pearl White could doff personality No. 2 when the director called “Cut!” Rut there came a day ■when Personality ,No. 2 pursued Personality No. 1 off of “the set.” Pearl White (herself) began to live away from “location" the highly nervous life she lived before the camera. Heroine worshipers, in America and Europe, contributed. They invited her here, there, everywhere. Social Invitations were pressed on her. She raced from luncheon in Paris to dinner in London by airplane: then from dinner to dance by automobile—often 135 miles an hour over the channel, then seventy miles an hour from London hotels to country manors. Pearl White (herself) was always in revolt against Pearl White! The fight between the two personalities helped to break her health. Her constitution became weakened. Then came the disappearance of her former husband, Wallace McCuteh eon, and the sudden death of her former leading man, John Stevenson. Her strength snapped. Doctors diagnosed her case as a combination of nervous and physical breakdown. “Absolute quiet!” they ordered. The alternative? Death’ Welcomes Order Pearl White (herself) welcomed the order. She selected a convent, where she has donned a novitiate’s habit and is surrounded by quiet, prayerful nuns. She has elected the cloistered life —at least until her health is restored. That may be a i long time. ’’But, even more than physical strength is it necessary fo&.the real Pearl White to build up her psyi chological strength, ro that she will | not succumb to Personality No. 2. once she has left the convent," said an eminent Parisian nerve specialist and psychologist today, i “Personality No. 2 will be await- | ing her at the cloister gates, beckoning her back to the gay social life of Paris and London, with restaurant dinners, cabaret parties, dances—all the diversions that these cities afford so sumptuously. ’’Can the real Pearl White resist this Personality No. 2. with Its allies of heroine-worshipers, movie fans, world wide publicity? I am sure she can—for the real Pearl White is even more courageous than the Pear! White of the screen startlers that the public knows.” Meanwhile Pearl White (herself) has locked the doors of her cloistered cell against Personality No. 2—and that includes press agents, society reporters, movie producers and a circlo of thousands of admirers.

Slyly he took a persimmon out of his pocket and, a block or two from the grocery, bit into it. A moment afterward he touched his brother on the arm. “Tim." lie said, with some difficulty, ‘‘is there anything I ought to say to you?” “Why, I dunno.” said Tim. "Why do you ask me that?” “Because.” said the immigrant, boy with a wry face! “if there is, it's got to be quick, because I’m—l’m closin' up!"

Air Supremacy Gives France Confidence in Invading Ruhr

By MILTON BRONNER \I'A Utaff Correspondent PARIS, Jan. 18.—Supremacy In the air is one of the things that has piven France confidence to proceed in invading the Ruhr In the attempt to collect. German reparations. Sinefe the close of the World War she has been developing her aviation forces—both military and civil. New 'planes have been built, mechanics trained and overland services open, until now France is convinced that she is supreme. This belief has become part of the national pride. The cry taken up at the great aviation exhibition, hold in tho Grand Palais here, is being echoed throughout the land, along thr Rhine and across the sea to Morocco where ten airplane squadrons are' stationed at Rabat. Aviation Forces Formidable In military aviation Fiance already lias a formidable army. She lias pursuits regiments, special planes for day bombing expeditions, others for night bombing, squadrons for observation purposes, balloon, and dirigible j units at strategic points in France, | along the Rhine and in northern Africa. Her total military aviation forces comprise 1,350 officers and 32,000 men headed by Marshal Fayolle, inspector general of aeronautics. The naval aviation groups consist of fifty airplanes and the cruiser Bearn stationed at Rochefort, as an airplane carrier. In civil aviation .France also leads Europe. There are regular passenger, mail and light freight services between Paris and London, Brussels, and Constantinople via. Strasbourg, Prague; Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade and Bucharest. There is also a line between Toulouse and Casablanca, In Morocco, and between Paris and I-au-sanne, Switzerland. Franco probably has more factories for the manufacture of airplanes, motors and accessories than any other nation. She not only lias been aspiring to he in a position to meet all her peace and wartime needs, but has tried to he able to sell to other nations. She has already supplied Poland, Rumania and several lessor nations with their military planes. The United States is credited here with being the world's second great-

! Olden Days of West Are Gone for All Time BY F. O. ORR. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—“ Them clays have gone forever!” says Congressman Vaile from Colorado. What days? The days when the clerk or mechanic In the city out of a Job could gather up his family, trek out to the West, get a slice of land from the government almost for the asking, settle down on it, and with little or no capital to start, proceed to make a living and gather unto himself an estate. This is the reason. Vaile says, why immigration must continue to be restricted through some such method as the three-per cent law now In effect. Possibly other selective measures will have to be adopted. "Not that we haven’t undeveloped land,” he says, “but we haven’t any more cheap land, which can be de veloped at little expense. "Any man who has saved up ten thousand dollars, or so, can go out and buy land in the West today, perhaps on one of the Government’s reclamation projects, and if he’s a good farmer, probably make a success of It.” Lion Hunting |* From Autos Is Exciting Spoi~t By ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. —Lion hunting from autos furnishes an exciting sport in Arizona, where the big cats are a menace to livestock, acI cording to a report received by the United States Biological Survey, which hires men to slay them. It is n little known phase of Government work. They are mountain lions, however, says Oleve Miller, a Government hunter, who killed four of them and a bob cat in three days last month. The report tells how the dogs jumped an old lioness and three cubs ju.-t after thev had finished feasting ,on a deer. All four were treed and killed and on the way back tn camp i a bob cat was encountered and slain. "Where the. hunters use automobiles on the ranges,” continues the | account, "the stockmen pay for gas, oil and repairs, as there are no Government funds for this work. The hunters cover two or three times as much ground in this way." m* 10,000 Miles of Federal Roads Built in 1922
