NO IMPROVEMENT IN MANKIND
Physician Believes Nations of An.
tIquity Were Of as High 4 Type
as Those Of Modern Days.

The marvellous progress Of the last
fifty years has lulled us into sense
of self-confdence and security as re-
CARDS our racial progress, says DR.
Eugene Lyman Fisk, medical director
of the Life Extension institute, In an
article ia the Scientific Monthly. Doc
tor Fisk believes that "civilization"
has not improved mankind. He writes !:
II do not think we have any evil
dence that man as an organism. wheth
er In regard to his physical or mental
capacities, now presents a higher av-
erage type than characterized the ma
lions of antiquity. Indeed, so far as
his physical structure Is concerned,
there is much evidence to the con-
trary, and I think we may be assured
that the great minds Of antiquity
would have made equally good use Of
present-day knowledge If they were
with us todV and in position to
utilize it."

the only man he had ever trusted and

philosophical and he soon won Jem
from housing in the crowded, unsani-

road. Its variety and delights, for
there were many, filed in his ambi-
ton. A barn loft, haymow, shell
tered nook in the woods, free and easy
cookery of contributed edibles, hike
through new territory-these features
added to health and came readily.
Then one day Bob broke down. Jem
carried him to the nearest hospital and
was with him when he died. These
were his last words:
1--WE never told you, but 1 have a
sister living at VAUDEVILLE, unless she's
dead. She mourned for many year,

"Sister Sue is sewing shirts for SOL
diers," for, if she isn't sewing shirts
or paiamas, OF sheets and pillowcases,
or something else, she is out Of the
running in society. She may be knit
ting sox or eye bandages or scarfs or
sweaters, instead of sewing, but she
must be doing something-her patriot
ism must have an outward and visible
sign Of some sort or she will find her
self lonesome-all her sister women
are making themselves useful.
Sister Sue sallies forth with a bag
of some kind, in which she carries her
knitting and sewing, and many other
things. The bag, originally designed
for q sweater bag, has been pressed
into service for many other purposes,
and, now that a movement is afoot for
carving home ones small parcels, ac-
cumulated on the shopping tour, the
sweater bag is the almost constant
companion of the up-to-date women OF
today. 1t is pretty to start with,
rather easy to make, Of more CT less
rich and always wholly attractive ma
teriai it is a thing Of beauty and JOY
for the duration of the war at least.
The sweater bag may be made of
cretonne, satin, silk, sateen, wide rib
bons, Japanese silks, or any material
which Is decorative. A very pretty
bag is pictured here, made of ere
tonne having white ground and a
floral pattern in green, dull purple,
light brown and black, spread over it.

MAY FOUND JEWISH REPUBLIC
England, France and United States to
Exercise Joint Protectorate After
War, Is Report.

Palestine is to become a Jewish re-
public at the end of the war, accord
ing to q recent report that appeared
simultaneously In London and Wash
ington 1t is thought possible that the
disposition of the Holy Land was one
of the subjects discussed by the Brit
ish and French ENJOYS with President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing at
Washington. That the United States
would favo" such a plan is considered
certain.
According to the report the Jewish
republic, known as Judea, would be
protectorate of England, France and
the United States acting Jointly. Je-
rusalem would be the capital of the
new republic, which would have local
government. Should this plan be car
ried into operation a great migration
of the Jews back to their ancient land
will likely take place. Not q great
many are expected to leave the United
States, but the several million more
or less prosecuted members of the
race in ROumania, Serbia, Austria
Hungary and Germany, along with
some from Russia, no doubt will take
advantage of the chance to live in a
state where they Will have equal op-
portunity as we'll as the right to wor-
ship in their old temples. Jerusalem,
under such condition, would become

elor who, like a moth, hoyers about
the fascinating widow, trying to make
up his mind whether it is wiSest and
best to WOO and wed or take unto him
self that old timely advice: Beware
of widows" The enterprising widow
in such case would have to await his
decision, no matter how impatient she
might be to grasp time and the man
by the forelock.
Of course, advertising a betrothal
has its advantages. Then, again,
there's another side of the question
which bears weight against it. If q
modest girl has become betrothed to
a tickle lover and he deserted her, how
distressed she would feel to explain
how it came about to her gloating five
hundred friends. Again, many such
girls may actually become betrothed
half dozen times before they decide
they have come across the right man.
There are any amount of kin people
who would ''have the laugh on them"
for catching so many beauX. yet not
getting one of them to the altar.
There are timid men as well as
timid women. Many a man would not
propose marriage if he was under the
necessity of having his intention to
wed made public. He may not care to
have his associates find this out. If
he has old loves in the back
ground, what an opportunity for them

1t Is said that COleridge once ex-
claimed to Charles Lamb: 81 could
write plays just as well as Shake
speare, If l had q mind to" "Yeg,"
said Lamb, that is just what you
lack" 1t is a blessing, however, that
even though we may not be able to
do the work of a great genius, we
may count upon growth in strength
and breadth of MUD. You can do
with your mind today what you could
not do five years ago. If you will
give your mind an opportunity to
grow by hard, honest, faithful, severe
work, you will be able to do much
more five years from now than you
are able to do today. If your mind
becomes poisoned with low ideals,
with poor literature, with wrong con-
ceptions of life, you may as well ex-
pect it to grow, as to expect a plant
to grow in your garden when you
have allowed every sort of plant en-
envy to burrOw about the roots and
feed on the stalks and leaves.
