The average baby born to-day has
chance of reaching ) years of age bet
ter by 90 per cent than would have
been the case half century ago, writes
DR.. John V. Shoemaker in The Reader.
Its prospect of escaping the diseases Of
childhood and growing up is vastly Inn
proved, as compared with earlier days.
Now, it is very desirable to save the
babies, and one of the greatest tri-
umphs of our newer civilization is the
successful rearing of three human in
fants for every two that survived half
a century ago. But it is undeniable
that the race as whole suffers by the
change. inasmuch as the weaklings, in
stead of 5eing weeded out, are thus
enabled to grow up. These weaklings,
by reason of their inferior vigor of
constitution. commonly fail to reach old
age. In this fact, doubtless, is found
one cause of the rise in the death rate
in later life.

A business woman of many years
experience was asked by a reporter
whether she would rather work for a
man or woman.

The trouble with women is that they
get too familiar with you. What /

mental equal she is likely to and gen
orally does mix business with friend
ship. She takes you into her confl-
dences as to all her personal affairs,
and, sooner or later, that proves fatal.
NO two women friends can be with
each other day after day without some
kind of little tiff eventually occur
ing, and when you clash as regards
your personal relations, that means the
overthrow of your business relations
mo, indeed. Business and friend
ship don't mix. and the only way to
make sure of keeping them strictly sep
arated is to work for man.
Let scandlmongers gossip as they
please, the cold, hard fact remains
that the average business man employs
woman solely for the sake of the
money she can help him make, and he
is shrewd enough to realize that her
usefulness to him can be maintained
only by his keeping proper distance.
"He may be kindly and considerate
and his manner habitually may be
characterized by the utmost cordiality

never steps even if outside of his of

RAISING condolences or compelled to be
continually on her guard against IN
welcome familiarity. That is the re-
verse of what most people would think,
isn't it? But it's the truth.
Another reason why it's preferable
TO work for man is that men are not
so petty as women I'm sorry to say
this, but candor compels the admission.
A man looks to you to produce results,
and that's about all he bothers about
But with women-Lord bless us. Most
women employers seem to think that
because they dole out little money
to you at the end of every week they
have got a mortgage on your soul.
'Their pettiness is manifested in
other ways, too. Once when l worked
for a woman I felt guilty every time

the telephone, although l knew it
wasn't costing my employer penny

waited to dock me for legal holidays
was q woman.
My sex has its peculiar virtues. but
it's plain to me that they don't shine

Collins Was INDIGNANT.

Just after Jimmy Collins Joined the Phil
adelphia team the whole bunch was out at
the clubhouse preparing for morning prac-
tice, when Schreck. the famous one handed
backstop. was reading the police news In
q morning paper.
Now Schreck reads tlts~ kind of news
with languid interest, of the average four
teen year-old kid who plods YEARLY
through Diamond Dick classic or falls to
sleep while following up the adventures of
Dick Merriwell. and when Ossie finds any
particularly spicy bit of saucy police gossip
he retails it to the other fellows.
Schreck is also bit of a humorist, and
when he is engaged in keeping his team
mates abreast of whatever happens to be
coming off In the courts throughout the
country he generally works a joke in by
some method or other.
Now. Jimmy Collins paternal parent is a
captain of police UP in Buffalo. and, on the
strength of the connection, James is popu-
larly supposed to be an authority on all
matters relating to police and criminal
court doings, SO he was easily caught nap
ping off his base when Schreck said to him:
Il see here, Jimmy, in this newspaper ac-
count where a judge sentenced fellow the
other day to serve twenty years in prison
\ for stealing set of small pictures"
Twenty years for stealing set of small
pictures is entirely out of proportion to
the crime" Indignantly snorted Collins.
But they happened to be pictures of
