which you have set yourself" And
the second was: Regard feminine so
ciety as an inevitable evil of social life.
and, in so far as you can. avoid it,"

gloomy record of shortcomings:

EXPLAINING ANTICS OF BEAN
Nothing Really Mysterious About
Seeds Which Furnish Mexican Poems
Cheap Gambling Paraphernalia.

One of the favorite amusements OF
the Mexican peon IS the game he calls
'los brincones," which might be trans
lated ''the jumpers" A circle Of dusky
1aborers grouped about an apparently
empty space in the sunny dust is
characteristic sight south of the Rio
Grande. The objects of interest, invis-
ible to the casual eye, are the "brin-
cones" or jumping beans.
The game is one calculated to APP
peal to the Mexican temperament, be-
ing form of pure gambling associated
with the irreducible minimum of ply
steal effort. To the visitor it bears
also a touch Of mystery.
The players draw a small circle in
the dust and lay therein a number OF
little brown beans, which are really
not beans at all, but the seeds of some,
native plant. Exposed to the rays of,
the sun and the solemn gaze of the
players, after a time the beans begin
to move. They turn, they stir, they,
actually hop about. The lure of chance,
consists in betting on which bean will
first jump out of the circle, and appar-''
emily the game is fair. There would
seem TO be no way of framing the
mysterious beans.
The Mexican neither knows nor
cares why the beans jump, though their.
behavior is most unusual for members
of the vegetable kingdom. Asked for
an explanation, he will shrug and re-.
mark that It is the nature of "brin-
cones" TO jump. Why question the
wisdom of providence, which has seem
at to provide her children with a cheap
and satisfactory apparatus for games
of chance?
Science, however, steps in with the
explanation that the innocent brown
bean in question is the home of GER
tain larvae, whose spasmodic move
ments early in life are responsible for
the antics of its vegetable home.

rHE FoOn.PRICE SAVING.

Most Of us. by this time, feel in a
general way that food control by the
Federal Government has saved us
money. but we're rather hazy about
particulars. 4 diagram prepared by
a statistician of the Food Administra-
ton makes the whole matter plain
and simple.
There's a consumer price index
curve which has been going down
pretty steadily ever since Congress
passed the food control law last
August. There's a producers price
index" curve which has been going up
pretty steadily during the same period.
In March, when the last complete
checking up was done, it was found
that the whole range of food products
in this country, in price paid by the
consumer. had dropped on an aver
age of II per cent; and the price paid
TO the producer for the same products
had risen on an average % per cent
Thus the producer and consumer,
between them, were SO per cent bet
ter off. That SO per cent saving was
effected for the most part by eliminat-
ing middlemen's profits and shortening
the route from producer to consumer.
incidentally the producers have
been disabused of the idea that food
control was aimed against them. 1t
has benefited them more than any
body else. as the figures plainly show.

Cause of Car Sickness.

Car sickness, so common among
children, is caused in the same way as
seasickness, or the dizziness produced
by spinning around rapidly or swing
ing. The fluid in the semi-circular
canals of the ears is set in motion by
the movement of the body and tends
to keep on moving even after the body
has come to a standstill.
Once accustomed to the new motion,
the traveller acquires his 'sea legs"
and if he is at sen some time in rough
weather he will need re-education for
the stationary on leaving the ship. for
he will feel as if the land We're ~avnT-
Ing under his feet.

Encourage Spirit of Adventure.

The spirit of adventure, so nearly
universal in youth, commonly is
thwarted at every turn. Yet this is
one of its finest gifts; when it has
gone, life's greatest promise is past.
An educational system should nurture
and direct this spirit, bringing it to ex-
preston in a daring to aim at high
standards, in adventures into new
fields of action, thought, and knowl-
edge; in a desire for the hard, strenu-
Gus things which temper and stabilize
character. The sporting instinct of
youth demands these difficult tasks,
and life is stale when they cannot be
found.-Arthur E. Morgan, in the At
lantic.

Harmful Loss Of Temper.

Although unbridled rage is helpful in
fight among the lower animals. need
less TO say it is the reverse of service
able in the deliberate fighting OF man
against man, as in boxing and fencing,
for here anger interferes with those
cautious methods of attack and de
tense which are essential TO success.
To lose ones temper in lighting of this
kind may be to lose the fight. With
this reservation 1t is curious 20 note
the close kinship between the cSm-
Blatant instinct of man and of the low
er animals. The untamed man, when
enraged. assumes in very truth the as
pect of the tiger: he puts himself in
a threatening attitude. frowns. glareS.
rolls his eyes. grindS his teeth, snarls,
growls, even roars-thus instinctively
seeking to strike terror into his OPP
ponent.
