80 the stunt nowadays is to buy a
set of scars. You buy 'em at a scar
rorium. Professional scar makers will
fix you up with the latest fashions.
For ten marks. which is about SO

strike a bargain day at the scarro-

The sign is especially favorable for
inventors. The sway of Uranus is
held to encourage original and fan

Myrtle, the Telephone Girl. gasped
with genuine horror when she read
that freshmen at an Eastern college
had been tattooed for life at an initia-
ton.
These young rah-rah parties don't

Look at the colleges of Germany.
There's a country where IL is dis
grace for a lad to graduate from a

unsecured The fellow who cops the
highest honors, the fellow who gets
the debating medal-neither have any
distinction when compared with the
champion duellist, whose face is
criss-crossed like the crust of
brides first green apple pie.
The duellist is the boy who gets
the plaudits and the cheers of the
populace. His professors may yearn
to give him the sack and bad rec
ord, but they are prevented because
his face plainly shows that a dozen
Heidelberg bolos have skated across
It. And wherever he goes in after
life he will be toasted and treated
and trusted-even by his tailors-just
because in college he wasn't afraid
of lending his face TO other swords

There's no accounting for tastes, .

There's no accounting for tastes,
said Simeon Ford. the humor1st-
there's no accounting for tastes IN
happiness or hotels or politics.
Two men sat in the lobby OF my
hotel the other night, arguing vocifer-
ously, while a third man smoked
long and costly cigar and listened to
the argument with a calm, comfort
able. serene air.
THE argument was about happiness.
The men claimed, for different rea,
sons, that ii was impossible to be per-
fectly happy-or, as one of them
put it:
"''No fallible human being is
capable of so forgetting life's trials
and fluctuations; of so withdrawing,
so to say, from his defective mortal
entity as to become completely pos
sessed. even for moment, with a
sense of perfect happiness
THE speaker turned to the man who
was smoking the long, expensive cigar
so comfortably
Don't you agree to that sir?' he
asked.
1.-THE other fiicked off his ashes with
a chuckle.
Gentlemen he said, 1 am per-
fectly happy now.

GROWING MENTALLY AFTER 35
Claims Only Superior Persons Expand
intellectually as Years Go On.

In the October American Magazine
Arnold l. Gesell says:
'One fact which seems to distinguish
superior from ordinary families is that,
while members of the latter seem al
most to stop growing at about the age
Of thirty-fye. the lives of the former
deepen and expand even into the van
ishing years of old age. A visitor re-
turns to the village after an absence
of ten years. He Is shocked at the rel
alive standstill Of a large part of the
population.
This lack of development after the
age of t~hirty-five or forty represents
primarily an innate deficiency in the
%protoplasm of the system. Ii
is a psychological fact undoubtedly of
eugenic import. Superior individuals

HIS MAJESTY THE. TURKEY.
AZ early as f541 Bird Was Admired
In England.

AZ Early as 1871 Bird Was Admired
In England.
As early as 1911 the turkey was
classed among the dainties In England.
The wild turkey of North America has
been used mainly as the foundation
from which size and vigor I'm our do
mestic stock have been gained. The
bronze holds the post OF honor and
probably originated from a cross be-
tween the wild and the tame turkey.
It's beautiful plumage and size come
from its Wild ~progenitor. To main
tain these desirable qualities crosses
are continually made. The standard
weight Is from sixteen to thirty-six
pounds. according to age and sex.
In point of production the bronze ex-
ceeds all others. The coloring Is a
ground of black blaZoned or shaded
with bronze. This shading Is rich and
glowing. and when the suns n are
reflected from these colors they shine
like polished steel. While the female
has the same color, 1t is not so rich
as that of the male. Much of this rich.
ness of color Is lost through inbred
ing. On the other hand. Ii is improved
by each cross with the wild birds.
