Why. Not Select Your Guest?

II wish people who haven't minds of
their own would come to realizing
sense of the bother that they are to
their friends and would develop lit
tie initiative on their own account"
said a man who had been entertaining
visitor to dinner. Maybe it's only
mistaken idea of politeness, but any
how it's a nuisance to be entertaining
a person at the club and have him ut
terly without ideas as to what he
wants to eat and drink You ask him
and he says he'll leave it to you,
which is exactly what you don't want
him to do. How can you divine his
tastes, I'd like to know? What appeals
to you, very likely won't to him, and
you know and he knows it. But your
selections from the menu are always
met with the comment, That's very
nice or you couldn't suit me better
And so you go through the meal in a
hit-or-miss fashion that certainly gets
on the nerves Of the host. The next
time l run up against that kind Of
man, I'm just going to sit back and
let him do the entire ordering"

II understand" said the cigar deal
er, as he took advantage of leisure
moment to pass word with one of his
customers, that the wise people who
write books about various 'ologies'
speak good deal of reversion to type.
| can't give the scientific definition of
that term, but I've often thought that
a man in my business sees a practical
application of it good many times in
day.
II have noticed that ninety-nine
men out of hundred, though they
may be willing to experiment in the
tobacco line, can be counted on to
come back to their first loves-revert
to 'em, l should say. Take the de-
voices of certain brand of cigars.
About once in so often they'll get side
tracked on to something else, quite
likely cheaper kind, which he'll try
to persuade himself is just as good.
It's funny he will say to his friends,
that never discovered this cigar be-
FORE He'll talk about it, and smoke
II, and then in about week'hell drift
In and ask in way bit shame-faced
for some Of the old kind. I put the
familiar box before him and watch the
affectionate touch that he gives the

An American.

A native of any part of North or
South America is literally an Ameri-
can, since he is native of one OF
the American continents. Usage, how
ever, has narrowed the term so that
IAN American" Is generally under
stood to be a citizen or native of the
United States of America, while a
native of Canada, Mexico. Central or
South America is known as Cana
dian," Mexican" Brazilian" "Guate-
malan," or the like. The reason for
the usage does not lie in any feeling
that the United States preempts,
stands for, or overshadows the other
parts Of the western hemisphere, but
simply in the fact that, while Can
ada, Mexico, Brazil, the United States
of Colombia, etc, are words which
admit of adjective formation, "Ameri-
can" Is the only adjective which can
be formed from the name of our coun-
try to denote its citizens or to apply
to it's interests, industries, cities, etc.

REPRODUCTION IS.MADE EASY
Perfect Copies of Masterpieces Of
Sculpture Secured With the Aid
of the Camera.

A new optical method for making
reproductions of sculptures consists in
photographing the object from TWO or
more points Of view and then, with
the cameras and lines Of sight in ex-
actly the same relative positions. pro-
jecting the images to an intersection
on the modelling clay or block of mar
bic from which the reproduction is to
be made. While somewhat crude in
its present state, this process, says
Popular Mechanics, is one that ap-
parently has great possibilities for fu-
ture development. In making the re-
production the worker simply cuts
away the material at any point until
the corresponding points as projected
from the different cameras coincide
on the surface. AS most sculptural OBJ
Jects do not have points that are suf
ficiently prominent for their coinci-
dence to be determined with precision,
1t Is proposed to use an additional ap-
paratus for projecting a series of fine
lines and letters on the object while
1t is being photographed. These lines
and letters, of course, appear on the
negative made by each of the cameras
and are projected with the image. In
this way the worker obtains a set of
artificial points that are sharp and
definite, and the coincidence Of these
is easily determined.
