“WENT IN” WITHOUT ARMOR Doughboy Resented Imputation Which Museum Exhibit Seemed to Con- : vey to the World. A veteran of the A. E. F., wandering among the armor exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, found himself suddenly face to face with a “tin hat”—approved A. E. F. model—ceremoniously installed in a glass case of its own near the haystack-shaped helmets of the early Tartar tribes and the halberds and billhooks of the European Middle ages. It made him teel historic and important—for a short moment—until his eye took in the rest of the exhibit be%w the tin hat, 5

There was a complete suit of armor made out of the same metal as the tin hat, and it comprised a neckpiece, a breastplate, a stomach shield and a pair of thigh guards, all ‘overlapping, and a string of overlapping steel plates down each arm—all strapped to a dummy doughboy dressed in O. D. and wearing the tin hat. It was labeled “American Armor.”

“It’s all wrong,” said the veteran to an attendant. “There wasn’t anything like that over there.” “But,” said the attendant, “the sign here says at the bottom ‘Experimental Armor,”” pointing to a small card inside the case. “I suppose that weans to say it wasn’t used in practice.” - “Well, it doesn’'t say it -clearly enough for me,” said the veteran.

He went off vowing indignantly that he would lodge a protest with the museum authorities or with the American Legion “or with somebody.”—New York Sun.

HELPS SOUTH SEA NATIVES

School Founded ;by Englis‘h' Woman Has Been of Benefit in Inculcating Self Reliance. >

North of Fiji, in one of the islands of the Ellice group of the South seas, education of a praectical - nature has been going on, and a deserted coral island has been the scene of a school for girls where not only the ordinary curriculum of European scliools has been in force but- house-building, boating and other necessary arts of a Robinson Crusce life. When the school. was started there was not another living person on the island of Papaelise, "which is an enchanting island, three-quarters of a mile long and about a hundred yards in ‘width, its shores sfirrou-nded_ by coral reefs and the bluest of blue seas.

The school was started by an Eng lishwoman, Miss Joliffe, in 1912, and she has been the head in this island of learning in the South seas till the present time, when she felt it was time to take a holiday. Devoted to her girls as they are to her, she tells of their self-reliance and capability. They built their own houses and dormitories with the help of a few native men, whose services were shortly: dispensed with, and only one old man retalned to help in the coco plantations, There are about 2,000 coconut trees on the island and the girls look after them,

ieeb oD | A ie R = OF. g e PHRENOLOGY CALLED A FAKE Neither “Bumps” Nor Features, It Is Now Asserted, Can' Indicate - o Character of Man. ~ There has recently been & marked revival of the “phrenology” humbug, and charlatans are colning money by examining people’s “bumps” and drawing therefrom analytical conclusions in regard to their talents and traits of character, remarks a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger., - ’ The cleverest.fakers In this line specialize in the alleged study of pysiognomy as indicative of psychic traits etc. This sort of thing “goes” wonderfully well, inasmuch as the average person is much interested in his own face and In what it may be supposed to express, .

Physical anthropologists, however, are firm In' asserting that there is nothing whatever In the idea. There is no essential relation between the features of a human individual and his character—beyond, of course, the fact that disposition and temperament may and commonly do se modify the muscular structure, especlally about the mouth, as to render the expression indicative. Thus, for example, & sour temper or a crafty habit of mind will show itself In a person’s face more and more as he grows older. A prominent chin does net necessarfly signify firmness of character; nor when exaggerated, does it mean brutality. Story writers nowadays teach us that eyes set “too close together” Indicate slyness and meanness. There IS no more truth in that idea than In the notion that a big nose suggests generosity.

Where beauty of featyre is concerned one might say that it depends fundamentally upon the shape of the skull mask. A woman’s skull is more lightly constructed than that of a man, and even the texture of its bones is more dellcate. ‘ REBUKED LACK OF COURTESY Young Lady Naturally Felt She Had Rights as the Invited Guest of the Driver, - A young farmer who lives in a southern Indiana coynty brought a driving horse recently, and after pon= dering over a name for it decided to call it Closer, , A few days later the young man made an engagement with a young woman in the neighborhood for a Sunday afternoon drive, At the appointed hour on the day designated the young man, driving the horse hitched to a freshly-paintd buggy, called for the young woman. They started on the drive and the horse trotted along at a satisfactory speed for the first half-mile. When the speed began to slacken the young man said: “Get up, Closer.” . The girl immediately madeé proper manifestation of her indignation. “That’s my horse’s name,” replied the youth, apologetically. 5 “Well, that's just what I was wondering about,” sald the girl. “Who Is your guest on this drive, the horse or me?” . . “ “Why, you are, of course,” said the driver in amazement. : “Well, please do me the honor and courtesy to direct your conversation toward your guest,” she said with a smile.~lndianapolis News. _

Wealthiest and Biggest.

There are now nearly six million people in the city of New York, and it is the largest center of population on the globe. It is growing faster thar London at the rate of nearly two to one; London doubles its population every 30 years and New York every 18 years. : New York’s cash balance demands a sum of more than thirty million dollars, and it is the wealthiest city in the world. In faet, its total assessed value is greater than all of the United States west of the Mississippi, and its income exceeds that of 20 states combined. Every nireteenth American lives in New York city, and one tenth of all manufactured products is made there. There are twice as many theaters in New York, and three times as many hotels as are In London.—Popular Science Monthly. Just Naturally Friendly, A woman who is known in the southern Indiana town in which she lives for her friendliness and absentmindedness, recently went to Indianapolis on a shopping tour. She planned to return on a late afternoon interurban car, and hurried from store to store.’ She bought several articles at a department store and was walking rapidly toward the exit thinking swhere she would go next. In her haste she dropped one .of her packages. A floor walker recovered it and handing it to her said: ; “Here is your parcel, madam, Call again, please.” e :

“Thank you, I wil,” she replied. “You bring your folks ‘and come over to see us real soon.” , !

Paper Gown for Physicians.

A s g U i€ gt P ghog P g e T BELIEVE LAND IS. ACCURSED French Workmen Refuse to Complete “. Building of Structure Which They ° Assert Is Haunted. -«Corner- sites are usually at a premium in any great city, but Paris has one that has remainedqunoccupied for nearly 30 years simply because French carpenters, bricklayers and masons refuse to complete a structure which was begun there and which they declare is haunted. The corner is the rue de la Villette, e

‘ln 1892 the owner -of the plot de-’ cided to bulld a three-story brick apartment house, but hardly had work started on the walls when workmen found the body of a womap who had been cut into pieces and buried in a basket. The laborers threw down their tools and refused to work. A new crew was hired, but the first day they were at work a scaffold fell, killing one of the workmen and inJuring another, This convinced the superstitious ones in the force that the place was haunted and they induced the contractor to give up the job. e For 22 years the construction work was halted and then another. contractor tried the task, but _the following day the war began, and the contract was recalled. Since then the owners of the property have refused to go near the site, although they are willing to sell it if a buyer can be found who will assume all the risks.

READ BIBLE TO GET PENNIES Woman in State of Washington Has Found That Scripture Study o ' May Be Purchased. . There is complaint that people no longer read their Bibles. Mrs. Gaches of La Conner has found a way to popularize Bible reading. A few weeks ago she "offered to pay a penny a verse to every ¢hild or adult who committed to memory_ verses from certain chapters in the g(fiible. And now she is receiving the ixeaviest mail in La Conner—reports frem the children and brethren who have earned their pennies and want them at once, Glen M. Foley writes in the Seattle PostIntelligencer. It would require one person’s time to answer all the letters and mail pennies. Requests have come from all parts of the United States and there have-even been applications from foreign countries. Hence, general Bible reading, we note, is only a matter of going out and buying it. Mr. Rockefeller and others of his fatness might make Bible reading the avocation of the whole country by detaching a few million dollars and turning them into pennies. But will that variety of Bible reading do any good? Wlill it stimulate the readers who are after pennies to follow the Christian life? Or is it simply estimated that nobody can read much in the Bible -without some of it sticking to him? | -

How to Use Violets,

Violet time is at hand. In addition to bouquet making these flowers have a number of uses which might well be more widely known. We are told that the blossom is a cough remedy, an emollient and a medicine for increasing the perspiration, It is also used in the treatment of various inflammatory illnesses. A hair tonic may be made from violets by slowly :pouring over them oil of sweet almonds, which absorbs their fragrance, and mixing this with a quarter of its volume of 80 per cent alcohol. ‘This emulsion is said to prevent the hair from coming out if used daily. To perfume linen: Detach the violets from their stems and put them in a small bottle in alternate layers of violets and table salt. When the bottle is half full, seal it hermetically and put it in a corner of the kitchen near the stove. At the end of three weeks the stopper may be drawn and the bottle placed among your linen, will infuse the garments with the fragrance of vlolets. The next day take the bottle out and recork it. The process may then be repeated whenever your linen needs perfuming.—From Le Petit Parisien. Coal on Farms. , The United States uses about 100,000,000 cords of wood annually for fuel, of which 80 per cent is consumed in the rural districts. ; In spite of the fact that most of our farm woodlands occur in the seventeen states making up New England and the lake states, the farmers and rural population of this section annually use in excess of 18,000,000 tons of coal. : o »

If by substituting wood one-quarter less coal could be burned on farms and one-tenth less in villages, the total saving would amount to nearly 3,000,000 tons, or between 65,000 and 70,000 carloads. ’ :
