muscular tension on one side than on the
other and the moth is forced to move toward
the source of light.

the chemical symmetry is destroyed and in
stead Of plunging into the fame it moves
about in circle.
There are other animals and insects be-
sides the moth which are hopelessly in the
grip of light. If snail is placed between
white wall and black wall the unequal
lighting forces it to crawl in circle.

Bigger Brain?
No; Better One.
s the brain of man too large?

DR.. Lester L. Ward, late of Brown
/ university, in recent lecture before the
Federation of Child Study in New York
contends that it is. "The brain of primi-
tive man." he said, "was so large and so
highly developed that he reasoned himself
into all sorts of errors, which he has handed
down to us and which have constituted the
most serious impediment to the progress of
the world

pecially sexual selection eo0perated during
long pre-human period to give to man
head and brain much too large for his
good and which has been for the most part
OF biologically disadvantageous character.
1t is only coming to serve useful purpose
in the most advanced stages OF civilization.
Brain Increase is therefore not at all the
needed thing for the improvement of the
race.
The chief evils of the world have been
due to error, which is a product of reason.
Error is in turn the result of the ignorance
Of man of his environment and his conse-
qusnt false reasoning about it. The prog
ress of the world has been due to scientific
investigation, by which the true nature of the
environment has been made known and the
error removed.
"The thing needed for the improvement Of
the race is therefore more knowledge and
not more brains'

Faporite STYLE NTH Artists.

In the early Grecian days the women wore
the easy, flowing garments which conformed
plastically to the lines of the figure. That
this is the ideal form of drapery and dress is
easily apparent, since artists from that day to
this have used this mode of costume to clothe
their models and have conformed almost en-
tirely to the old Grecian and Roman methods
of posing and line when placing their figures,
whether for NEUROLOGICAL or for modern pic
lures.
Then came a time when chivalry was at its
height, when men fought mock battles on the
tournament fields for the honor of a lady's
glove or for the triumph Of wearing her colors
And the ladies of that day wore the robe OF
romance. We never see painting Of those
"ladyes faire I" without being transported into
a land of illusion and romance, where all the
women had flaxen hair which fell to their
ankles and wore dark green velvet robes, as
straight and 1.-the as the figure beneath them.
And always around the waist was girdle Of
beaten gold with heavy clasp of precious
stones.

CARRIED IN Her Eue-Like
Dress, Mime. Pauloua Look
as If She Had Been Poured
Into the Costume.
- ME-. ANNA PAVLOVA, one of the
M\ worlds greatest dancers, has created
j a sensation.
AND SUCH A SENSATION


Nine. Pavlova has appeared in London in
dress of diaphanous, sheer, and supple black
crepe chiffon-a little heavier than chiffon but
transparent enough to show the soft glimmer
of the pale pink chiffon underslip.
These two gracefully hung and tightly drawn
materials are said to fit the famous dancer as
If she had indeed, been poured into them.
Under them she wears simply little one piece
undergarment of pink silk-for this strong
supple dancer needs no stiff, hard corsets to
support her or to break the line of her figure.
When Nine. Pavlova appears on the street
in the exquisite simplicity and grace of her
costume she might be garbed in the mode of
the year one +" or of the year 1850. There is
neither furbelow nor trimming to mark the
mode of certain year
This wonderful new gown emphasizes the
fact that, since women were, the cycle of dress
has revolyed from time to time, the
sciousness developed and returned, that Nature
has created a nober more beautiful outline
than any style or passing mode that dress
makers, corsetiers, tailors, or costumers can
order. After just so many years of passing
through various atrocious styles, in which the
human figure is deformed and misshapen,
womanknd rebels and goes back to the Garden
of Eden as brought up to date by Nine. Con-
ventionality.

in the world" says Nine. Pavlova whether
it be in the line of the hills outlined against
the sky, the graceful shape of an antique table,
or in the human figure.
"Why try to cover up what was meant for
beauty, meant to create pure aesthetic pleasure
in life, meant to make the day more beautiful,
more worth living? Why swathe in shapeess
bags or stiff, formal wrapping one O. the most
beautiful things in the world? Will any one
ever forget the thrill of rapture he felt when
he wandered through the long corridors of the
Louvre and saw through the vanishing arches
the Venus enthroned upon her pedestal?
Womankind is just coming to the realiza-
ton of the beauty of the line of the body, and
the fashions of every year show the tendency
toward emphasizing this beauty. The narrower
skirts naturally tend to define the lovely line
from the hip to the knee, and in this latest
dress of mine have tried to have it made as
if had been poured into it, like molten mass
of bronze.
Woman's two greatest graces are her fg-
and her hair. 1t is no idle fancy that a
beautiful head of hair is the crown of beauty.
And so for that reason when one is wearing
hat one should always try to create the i'm
preston of luffiness about the face. For this
reason I wear fur to outline almost all of my
hats matter what sort of weather it is.
The aureoe form around my head gives one
the impression of crown oe hair. Really |
have come to believe that it doesn't matter so
much about the face and in truth Nine.
Pavlova can say this, for she hasn't single
good feature except her eyes, and in everyday
language could frankly be called "homey -
it doesn't matter about the face. Just look
after these two things, your figure and your
hair, and you are sure to admiration"

TO PALE THIN PEOPLE
Druggist StansfieId Offers to Pay for
Samose If 1t Does Not Make
Thin People Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffer
ing from want of nourishment. They
may eat enough, but their food is not
properly digested and does them no
good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale, weak and thin. 1t mingles
with the food and aids assimilation, SO
that when taken for short timc, ma
ture will soon assert her normal pow
ers, and the food that is eaten will give
strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpneSS of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and we'll and gain
health and good flesh will find his de-
sires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Drug
gist Stansfield, 632 Kansas avenue, is
willing to pay for the treatment if it
does not give the desired results. He
makes this offer generally and wants
all who are thin, weak and out of
health to get a box of Samose from
him on those terms.-Adv.

agitation for the erection of SiloS in
this county. Everything necessary for
the production of good silage grows in
this section. The expenditures for oil
cake. shipped in from the south and
east last winteraalone would have con-

nually 1t is believed that the num-
Der of silos will be doubled here during
the next few months.
