URGES USE OF BOTH HANDS.
Of Ambidexterity and Its Need
of Cultivation.

France, in her earnest efforts to re-
habilitate herself, has come to the wise
conclusion that a child-a man or
woman Of the near future-who can
use either hand with equal facility is
almost twice as useful to the state
as 'right-handed" or a "left-handed"
person.
The Paris correspondent Of the Jour-
nal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION writes of the attempt to en-
courage ambidexterity in French chill
dren.
"At the recent meeting of the Acad-
emie de Medicine Doctor Armaingaud
pointed out the loss-military, civil
and economic-which results from an
artificial disability imposed on young
children, and therefore %n adults, in
allowing them to use only their right
hand, so that the left hand is used
only as an auxiliary to the right.
Speaking from military point of
view, ArmGingaud called attention to
the statement made by General Baden
Powell to the effect that no one could
doubt the value of ambidexterity. If
both hands were used equally by
everybody instead of being used only
occasionally, or by a few persons, as
is the case today, the strength of the
army would be increased notably.
AT this time, when the population
Of France is decimated by tuberculo-
sis and alcoholism, and when the ex-
cess of births over deaths is less each
year, it is not matter of Indifference
to permit the population of France to
continue what may be called physio-
logic mutilation, one which may be
made to disappear at will.
"Armaingaud proposed to the acad-
envy C1) to issue an appeal to the peo-
pie of France, asking that the mothers,
in the interest Of the nation and in the
interest of defense of the country,
teach their children from the first to
use both hands equally; (2) to request
the minister Of public instruction to
make the equal use of both hands OBJ
ligatory in all the primary and second
airy schools; (3) to urge the founda
ton of a prize to be awarded annually
to the teacher in France who has been
most successful in carrying out this
most desirable reform"

Phones and Divorces.

Statisticians tell us that there is one
telephone for every ninth person in
this country and that every ninth mar
riage ends in divorce. The inference Is
obvious! The truth is out at last {!
Hr. Bells ingenious little invention
has joined the discredited ranks of the
summer hammock, the cocktail, the
fox trot, the roller skate, the ice cream
parlor and the automobile. It is in
deed sorry state of affairs. One
telephone for every ninth person, and
on every ninth phone Cupid gets the
busy signal forever! All too soon,
alas, the wireless telephone will come
into general use. and no home will be
complete without its own little aerial
runabout. O, statistician with thy pen,
prepare to write new records then =
