Mental Examination

Mental Examination
CHI Mental-The mental ex-
animation should be such as to
develop whether or not the man
examined is possessed of normal,
sound understanding.
Cd Vision-To determined the
acuity Of vision, without glasses,
place the person under exami-
nation with back to window at a
distance of 20 feet from the test
types. Examine each eye sepa-
rately, without glasses, covering
the other eye with a card. The
applicant is directed to read the
test type from the top of the
chart down as far as he can see,
and his acuity of vision recorded
for each eye, with the distance
of 20 feet as the numerator of a
fraction, and the size of the type
| of the lowest line he can read
correctly as the denominator.
If he reads the 20 feet type cor
rectly his vision is normal and
recorded 1920; if he does not
read below the 80 feet type, the
vision is imperfect and should be
1920; if he reads the Is feet
type, the vision is unusually acute
and recorded 20-15, etc.
CD In accordance with these
conclusions, the minimum visual
requirements are as follows: 20
40 for the better eye and 20-100
forthe poorer eye, provided that
no organic disease exists in eth
er eye.
ACuity-of Hearing.
(k) Hearing-To determine the
acuity of hearing, place the ap-
plicant facing away from an as
sistant who is 20. feet distance
and direct him to repeat prompt
ly the words spoken by the as
sistant. If he cannot hear the
words at 20 feet, the assistant
should approach foot by foot,
using the same voice, until the
words are repeated correctly.
Examine each ear separately,
closing the other ear by press
ing the tragus firmly against the
meatus. The examiner. whose
hearing should be normal, faces
in the same direction as the can.

Of hearing is expressed in frac-

the distance in feet at which the
words are heard by the candi-'

as to the truthfulness OF the
answer given, a watch should be
used, care being taken that the

being held. The watch used

e. is an oft repeated assertion that
the French never give Up the
Il idea of trousers for women, anc
the world that is opposed TO such an
idea always comes back with the
statement that France, who adores the
feminine in woman more than any
other nation in the world, insists upon
her wearing a costume that IS entire
ly manntsh.
1t was France who opposed the
AngIo-Saxun coat and skirt of Worsted
material or the ground that 1t took
away from women that alldring fem
ininity which is their chief charm 1t
was the Paris designers who SAID that
they never cared to perfect themselves
in the mai king of costunery that was
not befitting to the soft curves and
coquetry of a wOman's figure and
face.
And yet it is Paris who, for at
least six years, has insistently strucl:

And yet, one of the most coquettish
things the little girls of Montmartre
do in Paris is to swaSger about the
restaurants in boyish attire-the large
trousers of the Quarter. the short
Jacket, the soft shirt with it's rolling
collar and the flowing students tie.
1t was these little French girls who
first bobbed the hair off a la Buster
Brown and wore the SLOUGH hat pull
ed down over the forehead. When
this coiffUre-or lack of coiffure-was
introduced here by Mrs. Vernon
Castle and taken Up by a thousand
and one ether women in and out of
society, II was thought to be some
thing quite outrageous. France had
accepted 1t for ten years without a
culver. Her people asserted that the
bobbed hair of a boy was excessively
coquettish against the allurement of
a young girls face. However, in this
country, especially in New York, there
are now women of so with gray hair
who have it bobbed to the ears and
