"CRlME WAVES" MATTER
ON MENTAL

|, Mental contagion acts upon people
in a state of receptive crimiuality.
The microbe of crime, like that of
grip or typhoid, takes effect upon or
ganisms ready for infection.
Perhaps the worst of mental con-
tagions can be the mistaken indul-
gence of juries and courts. To give
freedom to people without any other
means OF existence than theft or as
sassination is simply to encourage
the worst of crime waves.
To cure criminal contagion It is
necessary to use the contagion of
fear. The duel disappeared from
England the day il was known that
the survivor of a contest would be
hung as a murderer.
Can humanity be preserved entire
ly from mental contagion? Vain
hope! Look at the tyranny fashion
exercises upon the fair sex. All wom-
en- will tell you that their hat or
their dress is uncomfortable, that
their decollete can be fatal to health,
and that their high heels are ans
hygienic. But they would not give
them up for anything. SO long as

them.
How then can you expect that men

shall ever be free from the mental

as the tests are not compulsory, lack

COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

a permanent cure.
Most working people are shut in
doors throughout the day. Deep
breathing is a source of great bene-
fit to such people. They should
seize the chance, whenever offered,
to step outdoors and snatch a dozen
or so deep breaths. One would be
surprised how greatly this simple
exercise will offset hours of indoor
living and breathing.
Ordinarily only about one-tenth of
the lungs contents is changed at each
breath. In deep breathing a much
larger percentage is changed, the
whole lung is forced into action. and
the circulation of the blood in the
abdomen is more efficiently main
tanned. Thus, too. is the circulation
throughout the body equalized. In
creased blood pressure due to ner-
vous or emotional auses is lowered,
also by such exercises.
Breathing exercises should always
be deep, slow and rhythmic and
through the nose rather than
through the mouth.
An Oriental breathing exercise
which insures slowness and even.
ness of the breath consists of clos
ing n nostril and inhaling through
the other, breathing out of the first
rostril in the same manner and then
reversing the process. One a tell
whether his breathing is regular or
not by listening to the slight sound
Of the air, as it passes through the
n open nostril.
Muscular exercises are good to
start deep breathing. and it is well
to take the two exercises together,
But deep breathing by itself is also
beneficial if slow.

If you have blue eyes, broad
head, narrow brow, long chin, firm
mouth and prominent nose
Then you have the TYPICAL feat
Tres of the inventor.
The accompanying composite
photograph of famous American
scientists was analysed in the cur
rent issue of Popular Science
Monthly, by DIR. Katherine Black
ford, expert in character reading.
The significant features charac-
terizing the inventive genius are
the prominent, we'll modelled nose,
the strong jaw and the peculiar
shape and breadth of the head.
h immediate sign of h inven-
tor lies in the long chin and square
jaw, which indicate unsual resolu-
ton and tenacity.
The general expression of the
composite face, according to DR..
Blackboard, is hat of a likeable hui
man personality. The mouth is sem
sitive as we'll as firm.
This typical inventor is not one
to be crabky or sour, or to fly into
petty RACES over tribes. He has
hope. optimism and faith.
"One Of the most striking things
about the face is not evident In the
photograph. Practically all of the
men included in the picture are
blends and nearly all of them have
blue or gray eyes"
Notice the narrow brows, and
that the head broadens above them
until its greatest width ONE at a
point fully an inch above. Note
also the width of the head above
the ears.
1t is this feature, chiefly. accord
ing to DR.. blackboard, that stamps
the composite portrait as that of a
scientist of the creative type.
The composite view was made
by printing in registry on a single
piece of sensitized paper the 16 por-
traits of the following

BY GUSTAvE LIE BON
Noted French Philosopher and Au-
thor of Psychology of Crowds"

LONDON, Nov. 3.-Crime waves
are all a matter of mental contagion.
The phenomenon of mental conta-
gion is as old as the world.
Cases in history are without num-
ber-terrors of the millennium, mys-
tic Authorizations, massacres, politi-
cal or religious, the frenzy for duels,
the bath of blood attending revolu-
tionary guillotines, suicides in the
so-called romantic epoch of the last
century.
Nihilism under the Russian czars
and bolshevism of today are nothing
other than phenomena of mental
c~ontagion.
A man who yawns sets his neigh
bors a-yawning. A smile calls forth
smiles. Tears are likewise infec-
tious.
Frenzied speculation C h
reached fantastic heights about 1919
1920 also proceeded from mental
contagion. The fall in prices will be
largely determined by the same
moral factor.
Attempts at crime due to mental
contagion are not sensibly dimin-
ished because of the punishment in
f1icted upon their perpetrators.

CONSERVE THE FORESTS

Lumber is being cut in the United States at the rate OF
33. 79S. 800. 900 feet a year. That is equivalent to a plank
four inches wide, two inches tick and forty feet long, for
each man, woman and child.
Seems like a small amount. But picture a procession
of1O6 600. 600 people, each walking out of the woods with
a plank like that, and you realize that forests are being de-
stroyed faster than they are growing.
The day when lumber will be as scarce as hens teeth

\ Daily Poem
11he1ruK1P

There's a tramp just in
With a battered stack,
With her paint all dingy
And her stays all slack;
Like a tough old harpy
That is drunk on gin
She has wallowed homeward-
There's a tramp just in.
She is filled with guano
And some wet raw hides,
And the seaweed's CROWN
Halfway up her sides,
And she smells to heaven
And she looks like sin,
She's a hard old hooker
There's a tramp just in!
She doesn't look romantic
But she is-to me,
For she's been a ploddin'
Up and down the sea;
When 1 sorta figure
What she's done and bin,
Well. it kinda thrills me-
There's a tramp just in,
There's a tramp just in
And / saw her come
As she hogged and wallowed
Like a poor old bum.
But she brings in visions
That 1 dream about,
And-I may be on her
When that tramp goes out!

Wherever gas is obtainable-

nowadays---the gas range has
taken first place in the kitchen.
With the advance in modern
conveniences, oven Insulation,

cooking more efficient for all
purposes than gas. Even in re-
mote country districts many
householders cook by gas, de-
pending upon shipments of gas
in tanks.
As for the big cities, who
could imagine them without gas
ranges? Try to picture one of
