NO EXPRESSION in THE EYES
Quite AZ Much In Those of Glass a. In
the Natural Ones, 10 Recent
Assertion.

A writer in the London Chronicle
asserts that the human eye never
changes Its expression. and no doubt
he II correct In that assertion. We
may take 1t for granted, If he Is Just
a writer, that he never discovered this
for himself. but is merely recording a
fact that has been demonstrated by
scientific observers. The eye appar-
emily expresses a variety Of emotions,
and writer's as q class are continually
recording these changing expressions
with all the a~djectival wealth they can
command. The heroes, heroines and
villains Of fiction are always register
Ing emotions with their eyes, and
when you read the convincing descrip-
tons you simply have to believe them.
What Is more, any day at the movies
you can see the heroes, heroines and
villains actually performing these
stunts with their eyes. You don't have
to take the words Of authors for II:
the movie actors furnish the Q. E. d.
So what Is the use Of eontradictlng
facts that are universally recognized?
Most Of US meet and talk with several
dozen persons every day. and we pass !
hundreds Of others In the streets. Ii !
you observe the eyes OF any Of those |
persons you cannot fail to note that
they reveal one or another mental or
emotional stauA The eyes are cold

Indifferent, questioning, melancholy,
petulant. mirthful. mildly amused or
what not as the case may be. They
also reflect boldness. tlmidity, self-as-
surance. difidence. coQuetry. and q
variety Of dominant temperamental at
tributes
However, we are told that the eyes
never behave In any such fashion, and
we are forced to believe 1t. The eyes
themselves are incapable Of emotional
change. Novelists are always having
eyes flash with rage" and all that
sort Of thing. and most of us are con-
WINGED that we have frequently seen
eyes flash. But no rage or emotion Of
any sort a change the glistening OF
the eye. The flashing or glistening OF
the eye depends wholly upon reflected
light. That light is reflected from two
places. the pupil and the white, and
neither of these brightnesses is gov
erned by the mental or emotional state.
The effect of the changing expressions
of the eye is really given by the vari-
Gus 1exing Of the muscles In the flesh
surrounding the eye and by the eye
lids. The flashing effect Is undoubted-
~ produced by a wider opening of the
lids. which exposes more Of the white
light reflection. In a "twinkIing"
eye 1t is not the eye but the lids and
the surrounding muscles that really
twinkle. As a matter OF fact, a first
glass eye would appear to be
lust as expressive emotionally as a

C|TY'S HIGH TITLE
Cuban Capital Given Long Name,
by Royal Decree.
Has peen conslderateiy Shortened to
Habana. but That Was Not hs Ap-
p~eilatIon In fe34-Plaes Had
Remarkable Growth.

The full name Of the capital Of Cuba
Is San Cristobal de la Habana. In 1884
a royal decree conferred upon the city
the sounding title. "Llave del Nuevo
Mundo y Antemural de las Indias Oc-
cidentales" which signifies key of the
New World and Bulwark Of the West
indies" In emphasis. the coat Of arms
Of the municipality bears a symbolic
key and representations Of the for
tresses of Moro. Punto and Fuerza.
Habana is one of the several towns
founded by the governor. Diego We
lasquex. He placed 1t upon the south
coast, where the town Of Batabano
now stands. 1t was shortly removed
to its present position and rapidly 1t
grew to be the chief center Of the
island and one Of the most important
places in the new world. La Fuerza,
the oldest fertilization in the city, was
erected near the close Of the sixteenth
century. Shortly afterward. Philip
the Second of Spain ordered the con-
struction of the Punta and Moro
forts, for the protection of the har-
Dor. and at about the same time the
Official residence Of the governor Of
the island was transferred from San
tiago de Cuba to Habana.
In 1850. the population Of Habana
was hardly more than three thousand.
but In the following two or three dec
AIDES II doubled. owing to a large I'M
migration Of Spaniards from Jamaica.
During this period. the city rose to be
the commercial center Of the Spanish
American possessions, and the princi-
pal rendezvous Of the royal fleets that
carried on the trade monopoly between
Spain and America. The walls In
closing the city YER commenced In
1871 and finished 80 years later.
A map of the city at the beginning
of the nineteenth century strikingly
illustrates its rapid growth. Then the
residences were almost all intramural.
or within the walls. Large estancias
and huertas occupied ground which is
now intersected by paved streets and
covered with substantial buildings.
The first impression made upon the
visitor Is Of the massive character Of
the architecture. This characteristic
Is more pronounced than In any other
Latin-American city. The building ma
terial generally used Is a conglomerate
Of marine material, which hardens on
exposure to the air. 1t Is hewn into
great blocks, and so used in construc-
ton. Walls are usually covered with
stucco or plaster, and colorsd -

BOYS AND GIRLS TO EARN MONEY

The day will be when we shall
see on memorial tablets the
names of soldiers who have died
on the field of honor. We shall
see the men who have given arm
or leg or eyesight on the field of
honor. We shall say, was | on
the field of honor too? Did | do
the thing | should do, to help my
country and to help the soldiers?
For my country has been very
good to me, it has given me the
chance for a safe and happy
childhood. And the army and
navy and the airmen are very
good to me; they are seeing to it
that our country shall be a safe
and happy place to live in when
we are men and women. What
are we doing to show that we
are grateful? The Victory Boy
and Girl Division of the United
War Work Campaign is asking
every boy and girl between the
ages of IL and 20 to earn and
give at least $500 to help provide
comfort and cheer for a fighting
man for period of five weeks.
No money is so sweet to our
boys and girls as money they
have earned. Almost as good is
the money saved, but best of all
is the money earned and saved,
and spent not for ones own
pleasure. but to help and make
somebody else happy. The curl
Gus thing is that it comes back
to you in pleasure of a different
kind. Every boy and girl will
know what that pleasure is when
they hand in their $500 to pro-
vide comfort and cheer for their
soldiers. That will repay them
for all the "9oing without"
