, Dear Mrs. Thompson; a. Do you
consider 1t an engagement when a
girl lets a boy wear her society pin?
CD Do you consider it proper for a
girl TO allow a boy 70 "rough-house"
and be slushy with her? Some Of the
boys think we are stiff because We
won't allow them to and we want your
opinion. (3) How many dances should
girl give her partner at a dance?
JUST US.

Deaths at 25 Deaths at 30

The rural communities offer a re-
freshing contrast to the cities in re-
spect to the come back" period of
life. In Indiana. for instance, the
number of people who die when be-
tween twenty-five and forty-four
years per 1000 of population, is 81 as
again SO who die when thirty-five to
fifty-four years old. In Vermont the
number is 30 as against 49, in Maine
it is so against 81.
The States where factory conditions
prevail show the marked rise in NOR
tally after forty years. Thus in
Massachusetts the mortality at the
twenty -five-forty-four-y period is
SO as against II at the thirty-five-
fifty four-year period. In Rhode Is
land the corresponding figures are 3!
and 60.
The same conditions prevail in Flu
rope, where the deaths at the two
age periods are as follows: Russia
SO and SO; Austria, 80 and Sc; Prus
STA, 30 and As; Scotland. SO and Sc;
! France, sc and so; England ant
Wales. 81 and SO; Belgium, 30 and A

nine miles of the cut traversed, the

Miraflores Lake, which has an eleva-
ton of 81 2-3 feet above sea level at
mean tide. At the other end of Mira
flores locks to sea level, passing out
to the Pacific through channel 8 IL
miles in length.
The canal from shore line to shore
line is 40 miles in length, although the
deep waterways dredged in the sea
at the approaches increase this dis
lance to fifty miles.
TO complete the journey through
the canal will occupy from ten to
twelve hours, depending up the speed
at which the vessel can navigate in
the two lakes and Culebra Cut. About
three hoursepf this time will be spent
in the six locks, counting one and a
half hours for the Miraflores and
Pedro Miguel locks and the same
time for the three locks at Gatun.
The minimum depth of the canal is
forty-five feet, this depth obtainn;
in the Atlantic and Pacific channels
and in the Culebra Cut. Gatun Lake
has a minimum depth of forty-five
feet and a maximum Of eighty-fiv
feet.

LAW IN EFFECT
TO PROTECT BIRDS
Uniform Set Of Laws Protecting Many
Species From Rayages Of the
Hunters.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-Migratory
Uncle Sam has put into effect a set
of uniform federal laws protecting
the many species of the feathered
tribe which threaten to become ex-
tinct through the ravages of the
nimrods.
Congress passed law last March
authorizing the Department OF Ag-
riculture to adopt regulations and
fix a closed season for certain spe-
cies of birds needing federal pro-
lection. These regulations were
duly drafted. Effective this month
the regulations are briefly as fol
lows: ~
Trap shooting prohibited; shoot
ing between sulsent and sunrise
punishable by heavy fines; suspen-
sion OF hunting indefinitely on the
Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri riv-
ers, allowing waterfowl safe high
way from their winter feeding
grounds in the lower Mississippi
Valley to their nesting grounds in
the Dakotas and Minnesota; limit
ing hunting seasons to a maximum
OF three and one half months III
the several states; seasons being
according to latitude and times OF
migration; providing separate sea-
sons for waterfowl, rail, shorebirds
and woodcock, complete protection
for five years for the smaller shore
birds and other species which have
become greatly reduced in numbers.
The new law also protects rac
robin. the lark and other birds in
the few states where they suffer from
an open season.

SUFFRAGE CLASSED AS
SEX CONSCIOUSNESS
Thomas Speed Mosby, Criminelegist,
Says Desire to Vote is Exag.
gernted Case Of 1t.

Jefferson City. Mis-. Oct. 1c.-An
attack upon woman suffrage. from
the biological viewpoint. is made by
Thomas Speed Mosby, the criminolo-
gist who resides in this city and who
was formerly pardon attorney of this
State. He diagnoses the wpmen's
movement as an exaggerated case OF
sex consciousness.
In his book, Causes and Cures of
Crime which comes from 1.-THE, press
today, Mr.. Mosby characterizes the
present swoman' suffrage agitation in
Great britain as sex disturbance
and says that the causes Of these
disturbances are TO be sought pyi-
marily not in the realm Of economies

THE PACE THAT KILLS.

The Census Bureau makes public
figures which appear to corroborate
the contention of DIR. William Osler
that man in the city is near the end
of his prime at forty years and can
not, on the average, come back" aft
err that, says the Shreveport Times.
In the olden days the prime of life
was the period from thirty-five to
fifty-four years, but nowadays, under
the stress and strain of competition
the prime of life in the, cities and in
the factory districts has been moved
ten years nearer the cradle.
This fact is shown by Il study of the
comparative number OF deaths at va
rious ages per thousand of population.
For instance, i'll the city of Greater
New York, the number of those who
die between the ages of twenty five
and forty-four is only SO per 1000 OF
population, whereas the number who
die between thirty-five and fifty
four years of age is GO. Other Ameri-
can cities show the same statistics
Thus:

psycopathy, and the remedy Is more
likely to be found in Krafft-Eblng
than in Karl Marx.
"The universal female suffrage,
says he, would amount to nothing
less than a reversion to the matrlar-
chal stage of the most primitive
society, wherein women was the
dominant sex and descent was traced
exclusively through the female. 1t IS
therefore an atavistic movement III
all it's tendencies. Woman now holds
numerical majority, and her
dominance would be revived and
secured by the ballot. There IS
nothing in the modern feminist move
meat. The scheme was old when the
world was young. But is has tailed
and will fail, as all things must TALL
which are i'll contravention OF biologlc
law"
