RED LIGHT AND SIN,
Chicago Psychologist Believes There

Red light is cause OF SIN, accord.
ing to DR.. Walter Din Scott, Chicago
psychologist. He claims that 1t has
peculiar effect upon human beings
constantly subject to It; and he re
calls the illustration drawn In fac
tory In France which was illuminated
with red light. The operatives became
so demorallzed that 1t was decided t.
shift to another color. whereupon nor

Since as much can be saiG in favor
OF red as against it, 1t would not be

bright colors produce brightness OF

ors have the opposite effect.
Red has been held in high favor
by many nations. 1t Is the Chinese
color of good luck, and the hue the
Scandinavians give to the hair and
beard Of their great god, Thor. 1t Is
also a royal color, and last, but no,
least, adorns the breast of our cher

cannot be charged with any grave
breach OF the moral law.

"Thinking Up" Names.

This game requires nothing except
pencils and paper, and 1t is one In
which young and old can join. The
first thing to do is to write list Of
names down one side of piece Of
paper, leaving a blank space opposite
each.
The names may be so. .ething like
the following: Author, actor, general,
river, statesman, color, town. painter,
flower. fruit. etc.
One of the players chooses a letter
of the alphabet, and every one must
write a name beginning with this
initial opposite each of the chosen
words. If the letter were G the list
might commence as follows: Gold.
smith. Garrick, Gordon. Guadalquiver.
Gladstone, green. Godalming, gilly-
flower, greengage. ut does not matter
whether the celebrities are alive or
dead)
At the end of ten minutes one OF
the players reads the list aloud. and
one mark Is allowed for each name
which is common to more than one
list, and two marks for a name which
only one person has thought of. The
person who wins the game chooses the
list Of titles for the next, and also
the letter of the alphabet.
If very little children are playing
it is best to choose things which are
easy to think of, such as vegetable
flower. servant, animal, piece Of fur
niture. and the like. c would be ar
easy letter to select for list lik,
this, as cucumber cowslip, cook. ca
and chair are words which are easil!

Variation OF Moons Size.

AS seen by different persons, the
size of the moon varies from that of
a cart wheel to silver '1llar. To
many 1t seems about loot in diane
ter, from which Prof. Young concludes
that to the average man the distance
Of the surface of the sky is about ITO
feet 1t is certain that artists usually
represent the moon much too largo In
size in their paintings, Occasionally
they represent it in evening scenes
with the horns turned downward In
stead of upward, whereas they must
always point away from the sun. The
true angular size of the moon Is about
half a oogree, so that 1t can always
be concealed behind a leadpencil held
a arms length.

Nobility.

True worth Is In being, not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not In the dreaming
or great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say In blindness,
And spite of the fancies OF youth.
There's nothing so kingly ms kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure.
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren.
But always the path that IL narrow
And straight, for the children of men.
IT'S not in the pages of story
The heart of Its Ills to beguile
Though he who makes courtship to glory
For when from her nights he has won
her
Alasl It is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor
And nothing so loyal as love.
We can not make bargains for blisses
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which II
gets,
For good lleth not in pursuing
Nor gaining of great nor OF small.
But Just In the doing, and doing
As we would be done by. Is all.
Through envy. through malice. through
Against the world, early and late
No jot OF our courage abating-
our part is to work and to wait.
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his WORTH
For he who Is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.
Alice Cary.

Good Outdoor Game.

Here Is game which win be
especially welcome to the girls, for
the boys have all sorts of outdoor
sports now, Any number of girls, or
for that matter, boys, can play, "a
long as the number is even. but they
should be all girls or all boys.
There are two captains who choose
sides, as the boys do in playing base
ball. As rule about seven on each
side makes the best game.
Two lines are drawn on the ground
twelve feet or four PAGES apart. Each
side stands behind line which Is
called the "out" line. At the word Of
command from her captain, each girl
stands on her right foot. lifting her
left foot clear Of the ground and keep
ing II there. Then the captains order
their little armies to charge and both
lines hop toward each other. The
object Of the game is for one side to
shove the other side back, beyond Its
own "out" line. Each player singles
out another and hops against her
pushing her with her shoulders and
trying to force her backward over
her "out" line.
The hands must be kept below the
waist line and not used in pushing but
they may aid one in keeping balanced
on one foot. An umpire watches the
contest, and IL one player touches her
foot to the ground, IL only for an in
slant, she is "out" and must leave the
contest, leaving her opponent free to
help comrade push back some one
else. AS soon as girl has been
pushed over her sides "out" line. she
Is "out" and must stop playing while
the others continue the struggle II
a player holds another with her hands
