EVERY GIRL CAN, IF SHE WILL,
CULTIVATE A PERSONALITY
Be Interested in the Lives of Others Beside Your
self-Every Baby Potential Beauty,
Says Mrs. Richardson

A GIRL who was asked the other day
by another girl who had once been
q f,llow-student of hers. what she had
been doing with herself during the last
six or seven years, replied that she had
been "cu.tivating a personality"
You may wonder what tangible result
that would give her. She has not at
tained the position this other girl has in
the world; she has no bank account to
her credit after these years Of work or
what use, then, her personality?
Simply that, while others have gone
after one thing, money or position. she
has aimed to develop herself mentally,
and to make friends for herself. And
this she has done.
COME are born with a personality,
~ while others by constant efforts are
able to achieve IT. Given a keenly analyti.
cal mind and a genuine reaching out for
friend 'iness, unless a person has an Of.
fensively disagreeable side it can be done.

MODERN BODY ARMOR.
Steel Helmets Led to the Adoption of
Shields to Stop Bullets.

New York Herald: An important
feature of the warfare of the present
day is the return which has been made
of the wearing of body armor Quite
early in the war the various belliger-
ents realized that some more efficient
head covering was necessary than the
cloth service cap, and experiments were
made with shrapnel helmets construct
ed of steel. 1t was found that the wear
ing of a suitable helmet greatly reduced
the number of head and scalp wounds.
The desirability of adding some light
| body armor was an obvious corollary
to the use of the steel helmet. but at
the same time one had to consider the
advisability of adding a considerable
weight to the infantryman's load. In
dividual efforts have been made by
many manufacturers toward supplying
shields for us at the front. One COM
pany in England produced a body
shield which has been found both eff
ficious as a bullet stopper and easy of
adjustment, and il is in much demand
in the trenches.
The Prussian efforts in the direction
or armor have led TO the adoption of
heavier patterns than anything on the
allied side of the line. The helmet is
larger and reaches further down the
neck than either the British French or
American. The body urmor worn by
the Prussian troops in the field is in
three pieces, and resembles in char
acter that worn in medieval days. and
apart from the fact that it takes longer

There were no farmhouses along the

ARDMORE MEN ENGAGE
IN ZINC DEVELOPMENT

The greatest mining development
this country has seen since the palmy
days of gold mining in the west is now
taking place in the great Miami dis
trict in northern Oklahoma, where mil
lions of dollars of ore are now being
taken from the ground by numerous
companies already operating, and the
potential development indicated by the
plans of companies now entering the
field promises to far exceed the present
production.

have been vitally interested in oil de-
velopment and have been signally sue
cessful in this field. there are many
here who have become financially in.

good business judgment these men have
always exhibited points almost conclu-

ventures.

trict was begun just ten years ago on

in northeastern Oklahoma and is in the
heart of the districts richest produc'
ton. There has been an inclination TO
operate to the north of Miami toward
and across the Kansas line, and won
derful development has resulted.
But, it is true, also, that there has
been much prospecting south of Miami
and only recently startling strikes OF
mineral were made in the new field
This placed the biggest and livest town
in the whole Oklahoma mineral terri
tory directly in the center of the mon
ster field, therefore the logical name
for the district Is Miami
Miami itself has been diligent and
prodigal In advertising this mining
wonder of the world, bringing the dis
trict before the national public eye and
urging its Importance, and the whole
business has been impressed as the
Miami district.

having steadily extended their holdings
until now they are among the leading
operators in the district; in fact, they
are often cited as being the very largest
operators and lease holders in the whole
district
But these pioneers in the Industry
worked with zeal for years without en-
couragement and it was not until two
years ago that the actual development
of the district on a large scale began.
Now men of indomitable energy, large
resources and intelligent enthusiasm are
