REMAINED SLAVE OF CUSTOM
Augusta Housewife was "Set" In Her Ways, and Nothing Was Going to
 Change Her.

A man in an Augusta car seat talk ing to another man who appears to be his friend:
 Persistent Say. my wife Is that and some more. She Is the most tena- cious to habit of any person ever saw. Once that woman has become addicted to a habit there's no break ing her. Honest, I think that If my wife should ever by accident start sweeping with the wrong end of . broom she'd never sweep any other way, and no law of heaven and earth could change her habit"
 Some persistent. I'll say" agreed the other.
 You bet," said the first speaker. "Why, here last summer I put bay window on the front room of our house. There was a week while we were doing 1t that the whole end of the house was open as hay field in August; there wasn't a single thing to prevent man or animal entering our house at any hour of daylight or dark ness. Fact! But what do you think ; l couldn't make my wife understand that 1t was, under those conditions, a waste of time to lock the doors. Every night and every time she went down. the house, carefully locking doors and windows, so's to keep the wicked folks Out."-Kennebec Journal.

CHINESE TURNING TO SPORTS
Necessity for Physical Culture is Be- ginning to Be Recognized in the
 New Republic.

Physical culture and all types or
 athletics were, until very recently.
 held in contempt by the Chinese, ana
 consequently the Shanghai boys did
 not know what the joy of indulglng Tn
 baseball and other sports meant, says Boys Life. Ages ago chariot driving,
 archery and the other classic sports played an important part in Chinese education. With the dawning Of China's literary golden age, however. the scholars could not see how mental rerfection could be attained if there was any thought of athletic prowess. Muscles and brawn, they said, De- longed to the peasant, and the gentle 1aan of culture should show his good breeding by a scholary pallor, stopped shoulders and a general unhealthy ap- pearance.
 This attitude toward physical devel- onment persisted for centuries, and It has been only within the last few de- cades that interest has been vouch- l safed in sports. With the introduc- 1 ton of new educational methods and l the entrance of occidental theories into the orient, athletics once more came into their own and the Chinese 1 student tucked up his cue and his dignity and went in for pole vaulting and hurdling.
 China has now the idea that na- tion's economic progress depends large
 ly on the healthy bodies and minds l of its citizens, and missionaries find l little difficulty in winning subscrip- l tions for athletic fields for the schools.

Individual Airplanea

Whether or not the average citizen welcomes the idea of individual air planes jaunting about in the air over his head, the inventors are busy enough trying to invent them. Sev- eral small planes are already more or less on the way to such use in Eng land, Italy and France. One reads of planes already perfected, and that "small and light, and capable of being landed at low speed, they are just the type for fitting about the country, from one club to another" Italy is said to have produced the smallest, a tri-plane only 111 feet wide, and re- quiring for its operation about as much skill as the attachment of a side-car to motorcycle" Seeing. says the adage, is believing; and the pedestrian who takes scant pleasure in this notion of gentleman fitting about the country from one club to another may well wonder how soon he will lave to believe in them.

ETHEL'S MEMORY WAS GOOD
Sweet Child Remembered Only Too Well Remark That Her Mother

Cousin Robert from the country had come to dinner, and little Ethel had been allowed to sit up as great treat
 Now. Ethel is one of those children one meets nowadays who hear a great deal too much for their years, and moreover, who don't believe In the saying about children not being heard. You can't stay near dear little Ethel without hearing quite lot
 Which all gets on with the story of the night when Cousin Robert came to supper.
 Do have another helping of the pot pie, Robert!" said Ethers mother, aft CT Robert had already caused two platefuls to disappear.
 Well, Cousin Mary, I think will. since you are so pressing" replied the guest.
 You win, mother!" exclaimed Ethel suddenly; and mother, caught nap ping turned to her with smile and asked:
 "Win, dearY
 "Yes, I heard you say to father this morning that you bet a dollar that Cousin Robert behaved like a pig!"

The equipment of the Morse Col lege is a type of elegance and con- venience seldom found in a busi- ness school. Students here learn to do by doing. They pursue a course of business training through actual business practice. They work right in large offices, well outfitted with modern systems and labor saving devices, and learn by real experi- ence. No other school in New Eng land, outside of Boston, has this equipment or can offer anything like the Morse facilities. This col lege is now celebrating it's sixtieth year of uninterrupted success. The fall term starts September lst. Parents who are anxious for the success-in-life of their sons or daughters will do we'll to consult Principal Morse early in August because the many enrolling students engage every minute of his time during the last week of this month.
 The institution publishes an illus trated catalogue which can be had for the asking.

First Jap Woman Journalist.

The first Japanese woman to edit woman's page in her country. Miyo Kohashi, is studying journalism at Co., lumbia university in preparation for teaching Journalism in the Tokyo Union college next year. A decade ago women journalists were unheard of and unthought of in Japan. Now many women are growing interested in the profession, but very few of them have had special training for the work. That Is why Miss Kohashi is preparing to teach the subject. "Women in Japan are liking the newspaper pro- fession," says Miss Kohashi, "and al- ready in Tokyo we have a club of twenty women journalists" Miss ko- hashi is the Japanese representative of an interesting group of women stu dents of 33 nationalities who form the International Foyer of the Y. w. c.

Reality of Disease Germs.

Replying to protest from Lee White, publicity department of the Christian Scientists, against remarks on the death from diphtheria of girl under Christian Science treatment, the Journal of the American Medical Asso- ciation says: Had the nine-year-old girl been buried beneath a load of bricks, even MT. White would have suggested, we believe, that before giv- ing the injured child Christian Sci ence' treatment-absent' or present the bricks should be removed. What MT. White fails to realize is that a Klebs-Loeffier bacillus is just as ma terial an object as brick. It does material damage. it Is true, not by Its material weight, but by the equally material toxins it produces"

Peanut oil Gaininu Favor.

The production of peanut oil, includ- ing both the cold-pressed and the hot pressed, in the United States has in- creased from 454,00O pounds in 1912 to 95,934, 900 pounds in 1918, an increase of more than 21,0OO per cent. The im- portation of peanut oil increased from 7,626,0Oo pounds in 1912 to 6s, 6,OOO pounds in 1918. Practically all the im- ported peanut oil is hot-pressed. Con- plete statistics for 1919 are not yet available.
 It is apparent, say specialists, that cold-pressed peanut oil is winning for itself place on the American table, justified by its flavor, nutritive value and digestibility.

sired situations started in business on the first Monday morning after the Morse Alumni Reunion. Even now the demand continues so that if any former Morse graduate should happen to be out of a situa- tion he or she is invited to make known the fact and receive immedi- ate assistance or a choice of several desirable situations. Some of these positions are golden opportunities of lifetime and promise rapid pro- motion to an interest in the business itself. Indeed many young men graduates of recent years are man. aging enterprises of their own, both in Hartford and many other places and all say that much of their success is due to the practical and valuable business training they re- ceived at Morses'.
