A woman in one of the wards
of hospital was informed that
she had appendicitis and would
have to be operated on at once.
Much frightened, she reluctantly
consented and was conveyed to
the operating room.
One of the doctors had COM
menced to administer the anaes-
thetic and her eyes were closing
languidly, when he discovered he
had forgotten to inquire if she
had false teeth. He quickly re-
moved the rubber cap, and, shak-
inglher slightly, he said:
"Have you anything loose in
your mouth ?"
Then, as he made a move to
put his hand in her mouth, she
opened her eyes wildly and ex-
claimed:

cut that out, tool

PERSIAN WOMEN
BOSS OF HOME

The Persian woman IS the boss of
her home. She tells the man of the
house just what he shall wear.
If you want a politician to do you
a favor you send your wife TO his
wife with the request.
The Persian woman would consider
it great hardship if she were forced
TO appear in public without her veil.
The suffrage question has not been
agitated in Persia, but with the rapid
awakening of our women, brought
about by their training in the gov
ernment schools, no doubt we will
soon have the suffragettes in full
bloom
These are a few observations voiced
by Mira Ali Kuli Khan at the Fair
mont this morning. He is charge at
Washington, and is in the city TO ded-
icate the site for Persias building at
the exposition.
Mr. Khan, as he is called for short.
is diplomatic. Therefore, he, as a
diplomat, he explained. could not talk
about politics or equal suffrage as
frankly as he would like to- But he
said that Persia was rapidly becom-
ing a great nation-that it's women
were modern in almost every sense
and that they wore wells because they
preferred to, not for any other reason.

MISSING LINK
S. u. MAN FINDS IT
Brand NelO Theory

NEW and ludicrous proof
In of the descent of man
and apes from a common
ancestor - the notoriously
missing link-has been pro-
vided for humorists and scien-
lists in a new theory advanced
in all seriousness by Prof.
Vernon L. Kellogg of STAN
ford university, and seriously
considered by his fellow biolo-
gists, including those at the
University to whom details
have been transmitted.
Professor Kellogg is an en-
tomologist, one of the fore
most in the United States, and
his proof of mans evolution
has to do naturally with in
sects.
For he has discovered that
the same kind of genera of
parasites bite both men and
apps, and that those which
bite monkeys and other ami
mails are of entirely different
kind. As species of birds or
mammals are found to be
biologically related. so are
their parasites found to be cor
respondingly akin.

between the park commissioners. city
attorney. representatives of the Sutro
estate and the supervisors.
The fact that the famous baths are
to be sold at auction has again en-
phasized the value of the property as
public amusement place and
prompted Mayor Rolph to renew the
proposition made at the last bond
election, when the proposed purchase
of the baths failed to carry by mar
row margin.
At that time the Sutro heirs offered
the baths to the city at price be-
low cost, and in addition DR.. Emma
Merritt offered to donate Sutro
heights as a condition to the sale.

PEOPLE STOP
THINKING
At %
Psychologist Says Average
Man Lays His Brain Away
in Cold Storage

The average person stagnates after
reaching the age of % years; he con-
siders his education achieved, his
thinking days over and all mental
gymnastics at an end. Such is the
declaration of Prof. Warner Brown
of the psychology department of the
University of California made before
a class in psychology.
Professor Brown does not believe
that the chloroform bottle should be
brought out and administered after
the fashion of Doctor Osler, who
placed the limit of mans usefulness
at 40 years, but he says that the
everyday man, after attaining GER
tain mental growth. lays his mind
away in cold storage. 1t is placarded.
Not to be disturbed except on rare
OCCASIONS 1t is only the unusual
person whose thinking life lasts as
long as his physical existence
REASON FOR PLODDERS
This is the reason. says Prof. Brown.
that the world is full of plodders. who
never force upon themselves the Ia
Dor of hard thinking.
Asked after the lecture if the ma
JOr1ty OF persons 90 not TelEOSTduo
mentally on account of stagnation,
Professor Brown said he could see no
action either forward or backward.
The failure of the child wonder is
explained by a halt in development,
continued the savant. He said:
WHY CHILD PRODIGIES FAIL
1T is because of this limit that
the child prodigy seems SO often a
disappointment, promise unfulflled.
The child has attained his growth at
a remarkably early age. His gifts,
which were unusual simply because
of his youth, have been mistaken for
genius. Especially is this true or
children who early show exceptional
talent for music. There is no true
gain won by the precocious child. 1t
doesn't make any real difference
whether a certain knowledge is mas
tered at 10 or at 20 years. The un-
usually bright child simply attains
his growth sooner and has so much
more time to waste for the rest OF
his life.
BISMARCK WAS STUPID CHILD
Some of the most brilliant think
ers of history were known as stupid
children-Bismarck, for instance.
There is no such a thing as push
ing or forcing the normal child to
learn more than 1t wants to- Some
children of have the brain maturity
of others of Is and should be graded
in school accordingly. The precoci-
Gus mind demands education at an
early age.
