this be true the men who lived before
have our undivided sympathy. That
they We're not up to our standard Of
beauty may be readily conceded. but
that they had worse clothes, houses
and food leaves them in bad way.
Are men growing handsomer? How
can they: Possibly the medical editor
who wrote this was a trife subjective
in his mental viewpoint. Most men are
They do not think of mankind in broad
general terms, but have some particu,
lar man in view, and that man is usu
ally the one doing the thinking. The
ego in his cosmos gives him an in
flated idea of all masculine loneliness
This is a form of sex vanity.
Heretofore beauty has been thought
a feminine property. and men have
prided themselves on other things. Not
a few women admit in secret that
their masculine ideal is a rough, hairy
creature who is a cross between
cave man and a Morse viking Neither
the cave man nor the viking ever saw
a bathtub or a barber Whether or
not the modern man is handsomer than
they, he at least is cleaner and has

BOYS CORN CLUBS NATIONAL.
Contests Started by Bureau of Plant
Industry Prove Successful

Boys corn club contests. started
few years ago by Secretary Wilson
through the bureau of plant industry
of the United States department of
agriculture. have become SO successful
and popular in the south that the
movement has become national in char
acter. \ recent circular of the bureau
of plant industry is an interesting con

BOY SIX FOOTER AT THIRTEEN
Lad Outgrows One Suit After Another.
Weiqhs TWO Hundred Pounds.

Somerset county, Pa. has thirteen
year-old boy six feet six inches tall and
still growing. For two years he has
been wearing long trousers. and his
fond parents are puzzled what to do
with him. because he outgrows his
clothes before he outwearS them
He is well developed and strong and
weighs in the neighborhood of 200
pounds Although normal ut birth and

Masculine Pulchritude.

A medical magazine says that men
are growing handsomer. The cynic
might reply that there is abundant
room. In this the cynic would be
wrong. If American men become
much more beautiful the feminine halt
of creation is in danger of forgetting
suffrage and everything else in sheer
admiration The medical publication
does not stop with personal pulchri,
better housed. better fed and better
clothed than ever men were before. If

The New President of France.

The New President of France.
The presidency of the French repub,
lie is somewhat different from ours.
With us a presidential election occupies
about a year, divided into the cam
paign for the nomination, the cam.
paign for the election and the cam
paign Of the Office seekers after cleo
ton. Our president is not inaugurated
till four full months after the people
choose him.
In France there is only one month
from election to Inauguration. Popu-
lar excitement is lacking since the
chamber of deputies and the senate
choose the president. The French
chief executive has five times the sal
airy of ours, does about one-fifth the
work and has less than one-fifth the
power. The ministry governs in France
as in England, and is responsible to
the parliament, not to the ruler. The
French president remains in office sew
en- years unless sooner forced out. In
the past he has been an amiable and
more or less impressive figurehead.
With the election of Raymond Pom
care change is foreshadOwed. Theo
retically the chief executive of France
has considerable authority. but has
neglected for various reasons to use it
Most of these reasons We're beyond his
own control. Poincare is in the prime
Of life, has been one of Frances great
est and most popular premiers, is a
first rank figure in the diplomacy of
Europe, has very definite ideas as to
election reforms and promises to make
the presidency in fact what it is in
name.
Poincare originally intended to be-
come literary man and. indeed. has
written many books, on the strength
of which he was made one of the i'm
mortals. He became Il member of
the chamber of deputies in 1887, was in
the cabinet twenty years ago, but re
fused to serve during the Dreyfus up
heayal, became an acknowledged lead
er of the Paris bar, was elected to the
senate. was chosen premier a year
ago and guided France through part
of the Moroccan imbroglio and the Bal
kan war ana before the end of Feb
ruary, at the age of fifty-three goes
to the Elysee palace.

TO SOLVE FUEL PROBLEM.
English Professor Pins His Faith TO
Alcohol.

Londou.-Alcohol is to solve the fuel
problem, said Professor Lewes. There
is only one way he says. Ito regen-
crate the suns energy to make it avail
able for power. and that is by alcohol
In vegetation we can find energy alb
sorbed by a plant from the sun. That
energy can never be regenerated as
coal or oil. but it can be as alcohol At
present however, this is practically out
of the question:
