Man may invent a flying machine
which will send the now popular and
ubiquitous automobile to the junk
heap. Physicians and surgeons may
eliminate certain diseases and substi-
tue good feelings for the Monday
morning crouch. Inventors may util-
ize electricity in such practical fashion
that all other motive forces will be
! discarded and forgotten. Tablets of
rich nutritive qualities and rare flavor
may eventually solve the servant girl
problem. But what can take the place
OF love, the real, all-wool-and-a-yard-
wide brand of love, the sort our grand
mothers used to make?
And what sensation created by the
cunningest inventor of them all can
replace the ecstatic effects of one soli-
tary, prolonged kiss of the good old
common or garden variety that Cupid
planted in the Garden of Eden and
which has been yielding magnificent
crops ever since?
Natures Balances.
And If the much-educated girl hesi-
tates to yield to the opportunities of
love and delays marriage until she
reaches thirty, this condition is more
than balanced by the early marriages
among self-supporting girls. In manu-
featuring centers girls marry young,
because they go to work young. II
the fad Of the American girl today is
a taste of independence or career,
1t does not seem to take her very
long to exhaust the pleasuratle sen.
sation. The mill girl goes to work
early and marries early. The college
girl becomes independent later and
marries later. That is the only diff.
ference between the two types. Both
marry almost as soon as they've
learned that independence, like the
post card task of being good" is
such lonely job!
"Lovesickness," as disease, makes
trouble for physicians. They consider
| it seriously in conventions assembled
and DR.. A. R. Hagle, Chicago phy-
sician, says that it can be cured only
through mental suggestion. Now you
do not see physicians discussing dis.
eases which do not exist and there.

And if there is such thing as love.
sickness in quantities large enough to
cause medical discussion, what a lot
Of love must be lying around loose!
Science recognizes the presence of
love in our midst and spends thou
sands trying to invent love tests, de.
spite the fact that matrimony is the
only sure fire test.
DR.. Lightner Wilmer, chief of the
department of psychology in the Uni.

whether you love May Brown or Susie
Smith by registering your heart beats
and your thought waves and your red
corpuscle action when the name OF
the right girl is mentioned.

It's the Sa6ie Old question handed

green and sweet as love itself. And
women-to say nothing of men-will
