Why Fads Are a Good Thinu.

business youth, on beginning his or her
business life, should adopt an avoca-

less absorbing than his business,
and should continuously cultivate II
as foil, rest, saving grace to
his business. Provided this fad or

WHY
Average Persons Lun g 8
Are Seldom Filled

Among the first things that we learn
from a good singing teacher IS tiia'
we have been using about one-h'df or
perhaps only one-third OF our aNah-
able lung capacity, leaving the pat
ance untouched. The average person
does not know anything about the bot
tom half of his lungS-he might as
wen not have any bottom half. II
you tell him to take deep breath, he
starts. as usual. TO fill his lungs from
the top, and his deep breath is no
deeper than his shallow one; 1t mere
IN involves a lot of effort for substan-
tally the same result. The trained
singer or athlete, on the other hand,
when about to indulge in a deep
breath. builds up the mass of air in
his lungs more or less like pyramid.
He starts at the bottom and works
up; the central and upper regions of
his lungs are not inflated until the
bottom is blown up TO the limit.
A New York singing teacher has
invented little device for recording
lung capacity which emphasizes the
difference between the right and the
wrong ways of obtaining this capacity.
Instead of interesting himself in the
effects of expansion upon the SUBJ
ject's chest measure, he turns his at
tention to the waist, and measures the
extent to which a filling of the lungs
dilates this. More strictly, of course,
this little instrument does not meas
ure lung capacity itself but rather the
extent to which the full potential lung
capacity is being utilized. Try it out
yourself; If you did not know 1t be-
fore, you will be surprised to see how
greatly you can distend your sub
diaphragm by drawing in all the air
you can hold.

THE PARADE
SWAT THE WASHER

It isn't hard to believe that the Al mighty trade man out of mud-and mighty nasty mud at that-when we see one of those CUTS who stand on the street corners or hang around public places where there are opportunities to make "eyes" at women. You know the ogler, we all know him. He isn't so common in a town the size of Car lisle as he is in the larger ones. But even here we have a few specimens of this descendant of the jackass. He is short-sport at best, but is always looking for litle free entertainment at the expense of some girl.
 Not long since, on the train, we watched one of these cheap-skate chasers. A trim little figure with a new hat boarded the train just ahead of him and he took seat directly across the aisle so that he could ogle her at close range. We huddled down behind a newspaper a short distance away to watch.
 The little lady was plainly annoyed, as the big boob kept smiling at her and did everything he could think of to break down the barrier that her womanly modesty put forth. He open ed the window, then leaned over to ask if the draft bothered her. He of fered her his paper. and while her re- fusal was curt, it was every bit ''the lady," and any man with the instinct of a louse or even the slightest es- sence of the gentleman in his make up would have stopped just long enough to apologize for his existence on earth and then slunk away in the dark. But not our ogler. He kept right at the game for the forty min utes we remained on the train, he worked overtime trying to get into the good graces of the lady across the eiste and was q l the job when we left.
 But this is only an incident; we see these 0glers every little while.
 The woman who has to go alone in public places is especially subjected to continuous annoyance from would be mashers if she happens to be pass ably good-looking.
 Any man may admire a pretty girl end there isn't any objection ta honest admiration. But when a cheap dude hangs around ogling at every woman that chances along, he should De given swift kick between the hotel and the depot.
 And, boys, listen The girl that can be picked up that way, isn't worth knowing anyway.

DUST EVERY THREE DAYS TO
 KILL BOIL WEEVILS

Cotton growers are advised not to bite off more than they can chew in poisoning their cotton to exterminate the boil weevil. One acre properly poisoned is vastly more profitable than 10 acres improperly poisoned, de- clares B. R. Coad on charge of the Delta Laboratory at Tallulah, La.
 "One hand gun duster will seldom handle more than five to eight acres of cotton each season and cart dust ing machine can hardly handle over 100 acres,o says MT. Coad. Cotton growers should find by experience what acreage can be covered in three days with their dusting equipment and not attempt to dust more than that. If the entire acreage cannot be cov- cred, then select those portions of the field with the best cotton and the greatest weevil damage.
 Do not expect all weevils to disap- pear from the field after poisoning, remember that the cotton plants can stand considerable weevil puncturing without loss of crop and that the sole idea of poisoning is to keep the wee wills below the point of danger.
 "Guesswork should not be relied upon to determine the results secured. Portions of the field should be left un- poisoned throughout the season to serve as check plats on the poisoned area to indicate the effect derived from the poison. Poisoning will not make cotton but at best VII only protect cotton from boil weevil injury. Con- sequently the size of the crop made is not sure index to the effect of the
