(Copyright.) THE REASONS One time I met a chap who said I'd fall. Since then I've camped along ambitlon'a trail With clenching flata and grating teeth, to show That chump there were tome things he did not know. A lot of times, too. I met klndlv folk Who sald-and made me think they did! not 1olri i That I was destined for a better place Than then I held in life's uncertain race. For their dear sakes who thua believed '.In me I am compelled by gratitude to be All that I might have been upon this earth Had" fortune milled her sweetest at my - birth. Kow those two reasonsand some more that I Can't now recall, explain succinctly why I do the best I can to make success Of my small part in this great mundane mess. Red Hair. Some people admire red hair, and others have It. Red-headed people are better looking than other people. If they are. Some are uply as mud fences. The horse dealer calls red-headed people sorrel. The cattle men call them Devons or Durhauis. j The ling-men call them Durocs. Ornithologists call them woodpeckers. The dog men call them Irish setters. The poultry men call them Rhode, Island reds. The artists call them Titians. And there you are. Rut all the time there are a few people around town, Including the possessor of the pink foliage, who know they are plain red-heads. W( once knew a girl who was sö redheaded that the underwriters raised the Insuran'3 rate on her. father's framed welling- - v -"s We also knew a young man who couldn't use anything but asbestos pillowcases. And once when he tried to take an egg-shampoo the " odor of scorching omelette was almost unbearable. This boy finally got a job In a large city, standing in a gas-ditch In a busy street at night and letting his head stick out Iled-headed people are supposed to be quicker-tempered than other folks. Our observation is that this is absolutely true, except for brown-haired or black-haired, white-haired or bald or tow-headed people. JVe do not know why red hair Is a JOBut it Is. Otherwise we should never have written this ted you wouldn't have read it. Sucker! O What the Sphinx Says By NEWTON NEWKIRK.

! : i; By EDNA KENT FORBES 'j PRETTY ARMS UP TO the age of eighteen or nineteen," a girl need not worry if her irms are too thin or too fat unless they are an extreme of either condition for up to that time the body ts maturing, and may easily be too fat or too thin In Itself. And tho irm gains or loses in proportion to its weight. Most of the men who sit by cales and weigh you free if they cannot guess your weight within a few" pounds, take hold of the arm and feel Its size before stating the weight. The best way to have beautiful arms Is to exercise them. Massage anil creams may help some, but exercise Is certain to develop the lovely lines so much desired. Plain household tasks Every Young Girl Wants Pretty Arms to Show Off. will make the arms beautiful, making beds, sweeping, kneading bread or beating cake, are all exercises that tendo make the arms well developed. Such tasks should be done with quick movements; sluggish movements are not exercises at all. "Swimming is good for the arms, of course, rowing, canoeing, and all outdoor sports will make the arms pretty. Anything which makes the arms move quickly in varying directions, which flexes and relaxes the muscles, is a good arm exercise. Holding the arms doubled up, the hand In fist, and tightening the upper arm muscles, Js still another g'ood exercise. It is such a pleasure to own pretty arms' and to be able to wear sleeveless dresses, that every woman will feel repaid for any trouble she goes to, to Improve her arms.

The statement that Vienna wants more American boolys possibly refers to bank boks. Before beginning a new war, a nation outfit to figure out how much It Is going to cost. The U. S. A. may be first In vr and peace, but It's In the ruck when It comes to education. One nson why we get so few facts from Russia is that mot people escape with only their live. One dollar will buy 19,000 ISoMivlk paper rubles. So that is where the wood pulp has gone! With that new gun capable of slutting 200 miles, France is all dressed up, with no place to go. Another reason why men don't g back to the farm is that it cost thern all they had to get away. The silk shirt Is as d;uigTous as th red fiag. The best remedy for unemployment Is a Job.

LOST ARGUMENTS. When In my wisdom I have sail That It is time to go t bed Or crossed their wills with rules aflcj laws There comes a pout, and then a pW, And then an argument ensues In which it seems I always lose. When I announce that too iuch plo Is bad for them, they ask me: "Why?" And when I start to prove my case They taunt me to my very face, And In debate. In which they're strong, They soon convince me I am wrong. Time was my judgment they'd accept All my commands they bravely kept, But now they've reached the reasoning age, The answering back and questioning stage ; Their little minds are keen and swift While helplessly I seem to drift. No mere command with them will go The reason why they want to know. They wear me out. They argue back And puncture with their sure attack The case I've made, 'til with a grin I end their talk by giving In. 'Twould drive a great logician wild To argue with a Jiealthy child. A thinking boy of four or five Could floor the wisest man alive;' ; And any bright-eyed little girl Can set the calmest brain awhlrl. And yet I'm glad those madcap elves Are dally thinking for themselves. I'm glad they have opinions strong On what is right and what Is wrong. And oh, I hope, when older grown, In life's debates they'll hold their own. (Copyright by Edar A. Guest.)
