PROUD OF THEIR HIGHWAY
Edinburgh Citizens, Not Without Rea.
son. Claim Princes Street Is
Superior to Any.

When Edinburgh began to outgrow
Its streets and run over into the coun-
trys1de the citizens took the matter
in hand and decided TO enlarge their
city. Q They started with drab little
street which they built over from the
ground up and called 1t Princes street.
From the day its first stone was laid
the Scots OF Edinburgh determined
that Princes street should be the most
beautiful street imaginable.
Today Princes street IS, TO the
Scot. the most beautiful street in the
world. The stranger from another land
struggles to remain true to home at
fractions and compromises by pro-
nouncing Princes street ono of the
most beautiful streets In the world
On one side of the Scottish main
street are ranged the best hotels.
shops. and clubs in Edinburgh. On
the other are terraces and monuments
with frame of trees and grass.
From this street you can see the
towers of Edinburgh castle standing
out against the sky. Here are statues
OF Edinburgh's great and gardens
where the Scots can take the air with
out going to the outskirts OF. the city.
or the statues. the most beautiful is
that OF Scotland's favoritc writer, Sir
Walter Scott. An arch decorated with
many spires forms covering for 81
marble statue Of the novelist. About
him IN corners Of the arch are small
statues OF his greatest characters.
Princes street is beautiful because
the Scots have never swcrvcd from
their purpose OF making IT so. Moth
ing can be added TO Princes street, no
structure built without the approval
OF the city.

EYES THAT SMILE.

The eyes thcn selves are incapa-
BILE OF registering a smile. 1t is
true that under pleas ant emotions
the eye balls become slightly humid
just enought to make them ap-
pear bright and beaming. But aside
from this the eye remains Unchang-
ed when the rest of the face regis
terS a smile. Yet we speak of
smiling eyes and everyone knows
what we mean when We use the
expression.
The fact Is. of course, that ouI
eyes are Incapable Of indicating any
sort of expression. anyway. 1t is
by the way We manage the muscles
around the eye. voluntarily or in
Voluntarily, that We produce the
expression known as a smile. If
you want to know just what hap
pens 10 your eyeE when lou smile
get a mirror and :mile into it. The
brows are brought down. You simp-
ly cannot appear to smile when
your eyebrows arc raised in an ex-
aggerated arch. The fest about the
eyes seems to be relaxed. often lit
tie wrinkles appear at the corners
of the eye.
Now the naturally smiling eye is
the eye that Geens to be normally
set in a smiling expression. 1t is
the eye to which smiles come natur-
ally and It belongs to the man or
woman who finds more in life to
smile about than to frowr at.

Uncle wiggiiy Longears. the
bunny rabbit gentleman, was hop

the woods one day when he heard
a chorus Of shouts from the animal
boys playing in ieid nearby.
: Butter claws"
Don't let him playr'
He's all right for football, but
not for baseball!"
Those were some of the things
Uncle wiggily heard. A few
minutes later he saw Neddie Stub
tail, the boy bear, some slowly
walking along. looking sad and un-
happy. and staring down at his
long. big claws.
whats the matter, Neddie?'
asked the bunny rabbit gentleman
rs the game over?"
: IT'S over for me-" sadly said
Neddie. "They don't want me to
play with 'em any more" and he
looked back toward the field where
the other animal boys were still
having a ball game.
What's the matter?"~ asked Mr.
Longears.
"oh. they say my claws are SO
big that / can't catch the ball" an

so I came away. I wish 1 didn't

went on the boy bear, looking at
his paws, dissatisfied like.
Never wish anything like that
said Uncle Wiggily. You were
made with long claws, and they
must be Of some use, else you
wouldn't have them"
We'll. II we happen to meet the

Hush exclaimed Uncle Wig

iSkee! I've seen enough of them"
Uncle Wiggily and Neddie walk
ed along together for some time
and pretty soon they came to d
little brook. in the middle of which
was an island. 1t was cool, shady
and green on the island, and on il
grew some apple trees favored
with strawberries.
Let's go over on the island and
get some peaches" proposed Ned
die. The water isn't deep and we
can easily wade there"
So Uncle Wiggily and Neddie

Is This Your Type? By sSs:: s:: &C.: 4 sso0s

1t Is said that Margaret de VaIois.
sister of Francis 1 of France and
Queen of Navarro, was born smil-
Ing. and when Ehe was little baby,
held out her little hands to new
comcrs-both of which were sure
signs. so it was agreed. that she
would have a generous disrosition.
Later it was said of her by ore
OF her religious associates that
the spirit of God showed itself in
her eyes"
And these smiling, Gcd-reveaIing
Eyes of hers stood her In good stead.
Her popularity was never question
ed. Her subjects admired her more
for the smile in her eyes than they
would had she bee n the most dag
cling beauty in Europe.
Emperor Alexander of Russia
was another monarch who attracted
his subjects to him by means of a
smiling eye. His eyes," says a con-
temporary, "the color of the cloud
less sky. were animated and intel
ligent; he was rather short sighted.
but had a smile in his eyes, IL such
an expression may be used, full of
henevolence and goodness" His
eyes were full of expression, and
though he was very good looking
man, it was this look oAkindness

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
OF TonsIIs and AdenoIids.

Has your child enlarged tonsils :
Then what are you waiting for?
Why not have them removed? Many
perfectly normal children are being
handicapped perhaps for life by
eences where these growths are con-
ecerned-
These children can be readily
spotted in a school room. They are
the mouth breathers. Sometimes
their eyes are affected. Frequently
they, are slightly deaf. They are
generally the backward children.
BY continued mouth breathing
the upper jaw becomes permanently
narrow. the teeth then are crowded
and irregular. The school nurse
and the city physician are doing
much to find these children in the
public schools and recommend the
proper treatment. usually the sur
gicai remedy. Private schools being
under less public supervision are
consequently less standardized AT
any rate IL Is first Of all the parents
business.
These children are open to every
sort Of infection: they sleep badly
and are always just a little below
par. so that when the other diseases
come along they can not throw
hem on easily as do normal chill
iren.
Mastoiditis and involvement of
the middle ear. as we'll as brain
troubles. may result from the neg.
iect OF diseased tonsils and adenoIds.

could not. The brook had been
made so high and deep by the sud-
