Why We Open the Mouth.

From the 81. Louis Globe Democrat.
Hiram M. Stanley advances a new eXpla-
nation of the tendency to open the mouth
in surprise and establishment. Darwin
ascribed this tendency to the intuitive de-
reathing, and to mere relaxation of the
muscles Mr.. Stanley finds deeper or
ganic reason. namely. that the open mouth
is the attention sign. and Is primitive and
constant reacuen%ith the young of many
animals for the reception Of food-for ex-
ample, with birds. Any sound or other
stimulus Immediately causes the young bird
to extend it's mouth. With young infants
the same influence has often the same ef-
feet. The mouth of the infant under such
stimulation usually assumes the sucking
form, and it's smile when the finger Is point
ed at 1t may be either nascent or degraded
sucking. Mr.. Stanley maintains that the
common and highly useful tendency of the
very young to open the mouth to all slim
uli, visual, auraf, etc, continues as a sur
vival in after life, being especially brought
out with stimuli of high intensity and unu-
sual quality, and thus becomes a mark of
surprise and establishment. 1t is a habit
very common among boys and girls to open
the mouth under any attention. The rise of
smiling and laughter as connected with wit
and humor-at the basis Of which lies sur
tention expression. Assuming that the pri-
mary expression of the mouth is a feeding
expression. and that this probably has been
modified and evolved in connection with
variety OF attention phenomena, Mr. Stan
ley suggests that it would be worth while
to make a detailed study of expression IN
infants and young animals with this point
In view.

Inc uniform Is patterned somewhat a fter

The trousers to the uniform are of red
calico and are made regular pajama STYLE
being tied at the top with a draw string.
Along the outer seam of the legs are stripes
of black velvet. The blouse is made OF
heavy cotton material, which is woven with
alternate pin stripes of white and black
The collar of the blouse is of red calico and
Is adorned in front with two stripes of yell
low calico. The cuffs of the blouse are also
OF red calico and bear three stripes of yell
low. The front of the jacket bears six
stripes of red and yellow calico combined.
Altogether the costume looks as if it
might have been designed by some child
who had a fondness for bright colors. The

fastened with hooks and eyes and buttons
similar to those in common use in this

TELL IT TO THE MARINES

Whenever You hear man employ the
