most backward state of the south in the

Most parents are at times shocked and
scandalized by their children telling false
hoods Having tried to Impress upon the
children the importance Of speaking
truthfuily, they cannot understand why
the little folks should depart from the
truth In a current magazine article Dr.
Nathan Oppenheim explains scientifically
why children lie. He thinks II is natural:
mat their undeveloDed minds cannot
grasp the distinction between right and
wrong. and that the law Of self preserva-
tion induces them to tell that which is
not true very often. Many animals lie in
order to preserve their lives or 10 secure
their food. The opossum is a notorious
liar. "A child who won't attempt at times
TO squirm out Of trying situation by the
use Of a falsehood must be either heav-
emily good or very stupid" says the doc
tor.

The long-talked-of electric road between

passed the stage of existing in rumors
merely. Contracts have been let for the
construction of a number Of miles of the
roadbed. 1t is intended that the road
shall be an airline express route. and it
will be probably the first electric express
Sne to enter into direct competition with

''All these signatures are genuine
ones, written on a peculiar kind Of
Brazilian whitewood with special ink;
but in many casys the surface to be-
written upon is simply good cardboard
or paper mache, and In all cases the
autographed covered parts are sent 10

such surface that the autographs Arc,

these tables are sometimes covered
with plate glass.

is that of Mrs. Hennessy, who Is COM

firm, and lives In magnificent houso
