A Few in Every Ace.

At a recent fire in the Standard
Oil works at Long Island City it took
so policemen to hold back the women
who wanted to rush into the burning

Rumor had it that European agents

the employees. All the husbands
turned up intact, but it is reassuring
to find that wifely spirit can rise to
deeds not unworthy Of the past.
Everyone remembers what hap

GENIUS NOT INSANITY
ABSOLUTELY FALSE IDEA
SHOULD BE ROOTED OUT.
Theory Refuted as Far as America Is
Concerned by the Outstanding
Figures in Che History of
This Country.

A mistaken notion, which has done
much to encourage self-satisfied medi
ocrity, is that genius is q form of in.
sanity. This absolutely false idea
needs to be rooted out of the popular
mind, into which it was implanted
chiefly by the efforts of a group OF
European anthropologists.
These men, headed by the cele-
brated Cesare Lombroso, arrived at
their insanity theory of genius by an
exceedingly simple if laborious
method
They secured through thousands of
biographies of illustrious men, seek
ing evidence that at some period in
their lives these men had acted
"queerly."
Naturally they found a great many
men of genius who had indeed acted
queerly and great many others who
had been positively insane.
With this multitude of horrible ex-
amples as convenient jumping board,
Lombroso and his disciples then pro-
ceeded to leap to the astonishing con-
clusion that sis men of genius are
more or less insane.
To the weight of their scholastic au-
thority, and to the bulky books they
have published giving details of the
vagaries of certain men of genius, is
largely due the erroneous belief so
widespread today.
Actually, the proportion of insanity
among men of genius Is little, if at all,
higher than the proportion of insanity
among men in general.
Indeed, moments reflection ought
to satisfy anybody as to the absurdity
of the insanity theory with regard to
American genius.
Was Washington insane? Or Jeffer-
son, or Hamilton, or Franklin? Was
insanity the distinguishing mark Of
Abraham Lincoln? Can Emerson,
Longfellow, Lowell and Julia Ward
Howe be dismissed with a wave of the
hand as insane persons?
Coming down to the present day,
would Thomas A. Edison be counted
among the worlds foremost lunatics?
Or Charles w Eliot? Or Lyman Alb
bolt?
The sooner people rid themselves Of
the false insanity doctrine the sooner
the way will be cleared for intelligent
bordering of the question.
Is not the man of genius, after all,
representative of higher possibilities
open to the human race, and is it not
possible to some extent to produce
more men OF genius by proper train
ing and environment?
To this question I for one believe
that ultimately an affirmative reply
will be giyen.-I. Arlington Bruce.

HINTS ABOUT AUTUMN DRESS
Fruits and Flowers in Cutout Motifs

Exotic fruits and flowers in cutout
motifs, with petals and rims defined

instances this trimming is of taffeta
