through the ceiling of one of the school
rooms yesterday afternoon and wriggled
their shapely ankles and tapering full
ness of silken hose for at least three min
utes before the fair owner extricated her
self with the aid of one of her girl
chums. The boys say they believe they
would know the young woman by the
contour of her pretty ankles.
According to the story, during one of
the recesses in the study period yesterday,
two girls, in a spirit of mischievousness,
essayed to explore the loft of the school.
A ladder, which led up to the trapdoor
was too inviting, and both girls clam
bered Zip. The loft runs over several
of the school rooms and although Ii is
properly plastered and ceilinged from be-
low, 1t has no flooring on top, except
the studding of the building. says a
Darby, Pa, dispatch to the Philadelphia
Record.
After the girls had clambered through
the trapdoor two boys decided it would
be a good joke to take the ladder away.
Before they could do so, however. the
girls heard them and, with slight
screams of dismay, ran for the trapdoor,
when one of them missed her footing on
the parallel joists and broke through the
ceiling.
The appearance of the ankles trying
to extrieate themselves from the ceiling
overhead startled the pupils below. The
girls managed to climb down the ladder
in the adjoining room. but the four in
volved. 1t is said, will have to stand the
expense of repairs where two No. OK
fords, B width, went through.

Women Gaining in Height

DR.. Alfred Taylor Schoheld, the eminent
nerve specialist, in lecture this week,
said that about so years ago a new move
ment started and women began to inn
prove their minds and bodies. The profess
sions were grudgingly opened to them and
they were allowed to take part in games
and pursuits hitherto closed to them.
Later lawn tents and cycling were great
factors in physical culture, says a Lon
don wireless dispatch to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. The present generation of
women were taller by 11s inches than their
grandmothers, whose average height had
been 5 feet 115 inches.
In tenacity of life they were two years
better than men. They had developed a
love of sport for sports sake, which was
of value racially, as 1t would make for
the Improvement of humanity.
I'm the highest type of women the nrst
finger was longer than the third and In
the skin and certain other characteristics
they were further removed from the ami
NAL ceration than man.

Women Think Fast as Men

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg of Harvard
declared to 500 students of Carnegie In
stitute of Technology today that women
form their opinions and Judgments just
is rapidly and accurately as men.
But when they have an opinion they
stick to 1t, and no amount of discussion
can change it," added the psychologist
says the Pittsburg correspondent of the
New York Sun.
A group of Harvard men and group
of Radcliffe women, he said, were sub
jects to an experiment. Two blackboards,
each containing many white spots. were
used In the tests. Each group of students
was to decide which blackboard contained
more Spots the right or the left

Way for the Young Men

ing all the rights of the adventurer and
pioneer. Domains must be found for
them If the old earthehas gone stale. If
the life of danger and discovery is end
ed, then they will turn their hand against
our secure world and refashion the pleas
ant places, says Golfers Weekly, They
will uproot tradition and shatter the in
stitutions. We should like them better if
they fitted Into our scheme If they were
ruddy and CHEEKY and ended there But
they come earnest and critical. They jeer
at our failures, reject our compromises.
Tt Isn't our idea of youth, our peaceful
picture of what youth should be. Poets
sing 1t as If it were a pretty thing, the
gentle possession of a golden race of be-
ngs. But 1t Is lrsty with power and dis
astrous to comfort. Men sigh for it as if
it had vanished with old Japan at the
hour when 1t is romping in their court :
yard and challenging their dear beliefs.
They are wistful for 1t In their trans
figured memory, and they curse it in their
councils, for youth never Is what the
elders would have it. 1t does unaccept-
able things, while age stands blinking and
sorrowful. 1t is unruly, turbulent power
on its endless track.

alfalfa in Alabama is a. topic of vital
Importance to the people of some por-
tions of this state, and one on which
a volume might be written. Lack of time,
however permits of only brief review
of the present status of this crop in
Alabama
Alfalfa has rightly been crowned king
of all Forage Crops" No other cultivated
forage crop can lay claim to so many
qualities of merit as alfalfa. 1t
produces abundantly on good soils; has a
higher feeding value than any of our
other standard pereniel forage crops; is
relished by all classes of farm animals,
and, under certain conditions, greatly i'm
proves the soil in which 1t grows. 1t is
as old as civilization, and the ancients
clearly recognized its superiority for the
name alfalfa" is derived from the Arabic
and means ''best kind of fodder" A To-
cality naturally adapted to its culture is
specially blessed, and many such today
owe their agricultural Importance to this
valuable crop.
Unknown Is Years Ago
Fifteen years ago alfalfa was practi-
c3lly unknown as a commercial crop in
(,of acres within the bounds of this state
that are bringing in handsome returns to
their owners. The census report of 1900
gives the total area of alfalfa in the
state as 295 acres. The census of 1910 re-
ports 69S7 acres, an increase of consider
ably over 2000 per cent, and it is safe 20
say that this acreage has been doubled
during the past four years, or since the
last census was taken. In some sections
of the state, notably the black prairie
belt, alfalfa has become valuable crop,
and is gradually bringing about ag-
ricultural adjustment of that region. Yet,
even with the remarkable advancement
the crop has made during the past few
years, it has not received the recognition
due it when we consider its value boh
a money maker and as a feed for
farm animals.
Just at present several things are in
strumental In stimulating an interest in
this valuable crop. One is the growing
interest in live stock production, a bus
mess which needs heavy yielding for
age of high feeding value. Another is
the advent of the boil weevl which makes
=, cotton growing a more or less uncertain
proposition. and is causing the farmers
to seek something to suppant cotton as a
money crop. Still another is the growing
interest in the crop itself, brought about
by the alfalfa campaigns that have re-
Gently been conducted in various sections
of the country All these tend to set the
farmer to thinking, and to wondering if
his soil is adapted to the production of
this crop. AS a result the farmers of
Alabama are today giving more serious
consideration to alfalfa than ever before.
Alfalfa is a plant of strong likes and
dislikes and if certain conditions do not
exist in the soil where it is sown it will
r. refuse to live. Comparatively speaking,
the area of land in Alabama that is nat

January. This is eminently better for
farmer than to have his income come all
at one time, as is the case with cotton.
Alfalfa adds quantities of nitrogen, the
most valuable of all plant food. to the
soil, greatly improves its mechanical con-
dition. and fncreas ses its producing capae-
ity where phosphoric acid and potash are
present in quantities sufficient for the
plant growth

farm, but with the majority it should be
