knew what he wanted, because she
was used to posing models.
There is only one amusing thing
about having an X-ray picture taken
of a stomach, and that is the penny.
In taking such a picture it is neces-
sary to locate and mark the individ-
uals stomach exactly before the plate
can be made. The position of the
stomach varies in different persons,
and for guide a penny is sometimes
fastened on the body with a bit OF
adhesive. Occasionally the doctor
will forget to remove this apparatus
and there are some interesting react
tons.

Seeing Through People
By FREDERICK J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 27-How
old are you?
People have always lied in reply to
that question. Criminals seeking TO
conceal their identity, women wishing
TO appear younger than they are (that
is all women past 20) young couples
seeking marriage licenses, men seek
ing jobs, have all made practice OF
claiming whatever age seemed most
convenient and not too obviously be-
lied by their looks. Young boys want
ing to be soldiers and sailors claim to
beolder than they are. Professional attn
letes frequently claim to be younger
The list might be heightened lndef-
initely.
Well, science has found new age
test, which will make it much harder
for any one, who can be subjected to
an investigation, to conceal his age
This scientific test was first used quite
recently in connection with Chinese
| immigration. According to the law
/ Chinese fathers in this country
may bring sons under 81. Now
a Chinaman's age is the harest thina
] in the world for an occidental tc
guess. The Chinese face is slow

ten looks almost like one of 40. Sc
that horde of sons claiming to be
under 81 were pouring into this coun
| try, and no one could successfully
dispute the claim-until the X-ray wa:
turned upon the problem.
The doctor who tells the story ex
planned that age can be determined
! to a considerable extent by lookinS
at the bones of the individual will
the X-ray.
The doctor added that X-ray Nigh
be used to advantage in other con
nections to determine age. For in
/ stance, he suggested that it might b.
employed in issuing marriage license!
when the couple appears to be un
certain maturity. And if women eve
become so eager to vote that the.
claim to be of age before they reall!
are, it might be used to test thet
claims.
Dangerous to Handle
The specialist who told this stor.
went on to recount some interestin;
experiences in his field of medicine
The life of an X-ray surgeon has

geons still give their lives, becaus
the powerful rays that destroy diseaS

healthy tissues.
knowledge of the dangers to be e,
expected, however, does not seer
to deter doctors from enterin
this field of medicine. Much exper

he conducted himself excellently. We
must give praise to the West Enders for
such a game boxing Bout. After the

corner.
1t was announced to be a Return Test

minute interval. The announced weights
were Brooks 1870 lbs. and Boney 172
