CLOTHES SHOW TRAITS

In an article on "a Girl and
Her Clothes" published in the
Woman's Home Companion, ap-
pears the following:
''You may not speak word to
me, but the manner and line of
you, the gentle or bursque, gra-
cious or awkward little tricks of
the body, the way you walk, the
hat you wear, the clothes, the
gloves, the color and fashion of
them, the manner of. wearing
them all these, along with the
look in your eyes, are expressing
you, and are saying to me: She
belongs to this class or that.
She is this manner of person or
that. See, she is careless.
See she is tired and worm She
is a person of good judgment or
whimsical, dependable 'aper-
son of loveliness,.' 'unloveliness,

Factory Safety Device.

The management of machine tool
works In America has during the last
several years kept a careful record of
all accidents and made a study of them
in the endeayor to ascertain just where
danger is greatest and what accidents
can be prevented by means of i'm
proved safety devices. One recently
installed device particularly interesting
is an electrically operated control by
which the power at the engine room
can be stopped by pushing a button
anywhere in the works.-Exchange

The Widows, Town.

Charlottenburg, the fashionable west
srn suburb Of Berlin, is known as the
widows town. At the last census
no fewer than 14,543 widows were reg.
istered as residing within its bounda-
ries. This is very nearly half of the
total surplus or women over men that
Z is to be found in the town-29, 24O. In
no other town in Germany can such a
proportionate surplus of the female
sex be found. The number of widow
ers is extraordinarily small in proper
ton, being only 2,358.-London Tele-

A clerk thought of the scheme
of attaching rubber erasers to
pencils; his patents have since
made millions of dollars. A boy
attached an elastic to a rubber
ball to return it to the thrower

the trifie of putting metal tips on
shoe laces. He made a fortune.

Sixth Sense in Animals and Babies;
Instinct Warns When Danger Nears

from any sense possessed by a human 1t is
more than mere instinct. DIR. Triesch says
that some children, before they reach the
age of 8 years. possess this same sense but
that it is destroyed they learn to observe
and become more human" The sixth sense
of the lower animals remains with them.

One of the mysteries of this sixth sense,
according to DIR. Triesch, is the lower ami

Quakes. For three or four days before the
severe earthquakes at Guadalajara, Mexico
the many parrots of the city virtually pre-
dicted them. The parrots became unusu-
ally restless They made unusual sounds
and many flew away. During the period of
disturbance the increased cries of the birds
gave warning of the nearness of the worst
shocks. This same thing, the sensitiveness
of birds to earthquakes several days before
their occurrence, has been noted by Dr.
Triesch on several OCCASIONS
Some explain this sixth sense as kind of
supersensitiveness to faint shocks, but this
is hardly a satisfactory explanation. Modern
seismographs are extremely sensitive, and it
is quite impossible that tremors too slight to
be recorded by them could be felt strongly
by animals.

With these new discoveries of earliest life
in America has come the yindication of the
old legend about the name Of Arrow Rock
on the Missouri river.
A number of young warriors assembled on
a sandbar opposite the cliff to test their
power with the bow by ascertaining who
could send an arrow farthest out into the
stream. The victor then wed the chiefs
daughter. One of them shot clear across
the river, his arrow lodging in narrow
creyice high above the water; and so the
cliff was henceforth known in the Indian .

investigations the stone tips of arrows have

In the year 1925 a gay young Florentine
was punished for kissing a handsome young
widow by an Imprisonment of two years.
She claimed that she had given him no en-
eouragement whatever and that the kiss was
thrust upon her. Later it came to light that
the young widow had brought suit against
the man with malice aforethought, for be-
fore her marriage the same Florentine had
at one time been devoted, but had later de-
serted her for what he thought was a pret-
tier face.
Hers was evidently the fury of woman
scorned, for she had deliberately smiled her.

Baby Tricks Delight Norwae.

When the little crown prince arrived with
his parents at Christiania he proceeded mme-
diately to win the hearts of his future sub
jects. 1t was a question to how the new
monarch would be welcomed in Norway on
account of the many votes which had been
cast against him. Prince Olaf proved so pop
uar, even as a baby, that it turned the tide in
favor of King EIaakon. Even then Prince
Olaf held the fate of the kingdom in his baby
fingers.
The people of Norway were not proof
against 0laf's smiles. They saw his baby face
and captured He arrived in Norway
wrapped in white furs, which set off to adj
vantage his fair skin, curly, fair hair and big
blue eyes, His very appearance that of
the prince in the fairy tale He clambered
down FROM the arm of his tall father while
the latter engaged in replying to an ad-
dress of welcome, toddled over to a group of
small school children, grabbed Norwegian
flag from boy larger than himself, and ra-
turned to his fathers side, waving 1t aloft in
triumph. 1T was this and similar baby tricks
that delighted the people of Norway.
Prince Olaf is a sailor prince. as becomes
the future ruler of the Morse. He is hand
some, clever, thrifty.
His thrift is well indicated by the fact that
he opened bank account with his little cou-
sin, Mary of Wales, in 1907. The account
was opened in the savings department of the
London postoffce, and the tiny prince showed
much interest in the proceedings.
He has hearty smile for every one. a
hearty boy smile, real smile, that makes him
seem just like any other well behaved young

Became Prince Olaf When Three.

Norway has been an Independent kingdom
only since 1905. Whether it is to remain a
kingdom depends on many things. The crown
prince is the person on whom it mostly de-
pends. In fact, it was his great popularity
in the first place, when at the age of almost
3 he entered Norway, that has been a great
factor in the success that the kingdom has al
ready attained.
When Norway seeded from Sweden, to
which it had been voluntarily united for
nearly 100 years. a question arose as to
whether the government should assume
the form of a kingdom of a republic. Even
at that time those in favor of a republic We're
numerous. The Norwegian people, even the
monarchsts, are intensely democratic, it
was only by narrow margin that Prince
Charles of Denmark was elected to be the

king of Norway. He was given the title of
Haakon VII
Prince Charles was a younger son. He had
had definite ideas of occupying a throne.
Those who are in position to know say that
his rule has been a sensible and good one,
although his powers are not as unlimited and
great as they might be- He was married to
Princess Maud of Wales, one of the daugh-
ters of King Edward VII. of England.
Little Prince Olaf was born on July ?,
1903, at Appleton house, Sandringham.. Then
even his parents had no idea that he would
some day be crown prince. Becoming
crown prince was just another event to make
Prince Olaf's life seem more like the life of
a prince out of book of fairy tales than the
life of a real prince of the twentieth century.
Prince Olaf was not chsistened with that
name. He was christened Alexander Edward
Christian Frederick. He became "Olaf"
when his father, Prince "Carl,' became King
Haakon. Prince Alexander became Prince
Olaf, the crown prince, when he was not quite
3 years of age.
