THE TEST FOR
LIFE WORK
BY w. A. McKeeyer


CUPPoSE you should desire to
test your young son for the
probable field of his life work.
Perhaps the Sioux City hiE'h
school has approached as sanely
as can be done this problem of vo-
cational guidance. The manage
ment there has prepared nifty ques-
tions which every high school stu
dent is required TO answer anil
they are classified under seven
heads, Including:
i. Experience in employment.
2. The present strongest interest.
3. Interest in home and church.
=. Condition and care OF health.
5. Attention to social affairs.
8. ideals as to citizenship.
z. Favorite pastime and recrea-
tion.
1t would be very revealing TO
anyone concerned about Juvenile
affairs TO be privileged to make
comparative study Of 1000 of those
personal records. The ordinary
high school youth is relatively
Immature personality. He Is rush
ing through many changing inter-
ests and epochs. Tho check list
should reveal more conspiciously
what he Is not rather than what he
IL. and II should especially prove
helpful in showing him up to himself.

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis

A the end, It's not the high
~ jspots that you touch along the
way: lots OF fellows can be
heroes for an hour or a day. II Is
jolly to be standing where the
"bravos" swcctly fall: but IL isn't
half so pleasant to get out and hit
the ball. When he hears the throng
spplauding, when the neighbors
loudly cheer, almost any honest fell
low can behave like Paul Revere.
When an auto chases. jimmy and he
sees II running wild. he is happy to
be ready on the spot to save the
child. So he grabs Jim out of
danger with the utmost pep and
speed, and he never stops to figure
on his brave, heroic deed. Yes, the
much-prized hero medal may not be
so hard to get as TO punch the time
clock daily and TO keep away from
debt. But it's not the thrilling mo-
ment and the high resolve that
counts, for folks take the daily av-
erage when they settle UP, accounts.
II is just the same old story OF the
tortoise and the hare, and a man
must keep on plugging IL he wants
to get somewhere. Oh. the heru's lot
Is splendid and he nobly earns his
fame. but the strong pull and the
long pull mslk the winners In the
game. The fellow who digs the
bitches and the girl who scrubs the
foor sometimes have nm average
higher than The hero's shining score.
For you cant count Just the high
spots that come once or twice your
way. but you have TO make nm
average Of the thhgs you do each
daw

INFANTILE
PARALYSIS

disease which attacks children
and the younger the child the
more susceptible he is to the dis
ease, Adults occasionally contract
this form of paralysis, otherwise
known as poliomyelitis.
The usual symptoms OF the dis
ease first appearing are fever, pain
In the head, back and limbs, and
stiffness Of the extremities. Paraly-
sis appears in one or two days,
beginning generally In the lower
extremities. but in some cases ap-
pearing first in the upper extremi-
ties. There is also a tenderness
present along the nerves and
$ When a case of infantile paraly-
sis is well on its course the acute
symptoms disappear. and the stiff
ness is replaced by weakness and
faccidity. Still later there follows
wasting of the muscle tissue. The
disease is characterized by paraly-
sis of one or more parts Of the
body.
A poisonous substance, called a
virus, present in the nose, throat
and intestines of a person infected
with infantile paralysis, is the cause
of the disease, and IL Is spread by
coughing or otherwise disseminate
ing the secretions OF the body OF the
patient.
AS in the case of typhoid. there
are carriers who harbor the virus
in their secretions, although they
themselves have recovered from the
disease and are in no way affected
by 1t.
Street dust is an effective agent
In the carrying about of this dis
ease so dangerous TO children. Flies
are also believed to carry the infec-
tion.
To avoid the disease children
should not be allowed to play with
strange children whose habits and
customs are unknown, and in the
hot weather they should be pro-
tected from flies as much as pos
sible.

WAITING FOR HIM
I AN INTERESTING SUBJECT TO MANY WOMEN.

If a man of forty loves a woman
OF thirty will he allow a vow he has
practically" taken TO mar two
lives? IL a man feels a deep de-
votion for one woman and recog-
nizes that together they can build
a beautiful house of life, will he
hide behind his mothers probable
feelings in the matter--or will he
go TO her and declare himself some
thing like this:
Mother, love you and my devo-
tion to you can never be changed.
But I'm a man and claim mans
right to live a full and complete
life. even as my father lived his
with you. 1 think you and the
woman l love are fine enough to
accept each other and to learn to
respect and admire each other. II
you two can be happy under one
roof, we can all make our home to-
gether.
When a man asks a woman to
wait for him she is justified in
waiting and building her hopes on
his word. even though the time be
long and the way be hard. But when
a man expresses with his eyes the
emotional longings that don't take
the form of devotion ready to face
life and to meet hardships and sac
rlfices and TO make fight for the
woman who loves him he is insult
ing her with desires that aren't
based or love.
The man who loves a woman stands
ready to conquer worlds to win her.
The man who runs away from love
and its responsibilities isn't worth a
second thought,

FOR LOVE By Ruby Ruby N.

TT certainly had struck him as odd
that Philip had never even mem
n toned Eva's name to him until
he wrote to acqusint him with his
coming marriage. Philip was
rather a communicative sort of
chap. as a rule; and, now he came
to think It ever. CalIigan remem-
bered that there had been another
girl 10 whom his friend had been
rather attentive early In the spring
IA fiuffy-hap ed girl who had been
a guest at the wedding.
He could not remember her name.
but he could remember having
chaffed Phil quite a lot about her
on his last visit to the Highway
House. Anyway. she wasn't patch
on Eva Dennison, so IL could not
be possible that there had been any
trouble made there: he resolved to
ask Peter about IL next time they
met.
1t was with this intention that
he went over to the Dennisons the
following morning. He found that
Peter was not quite so pleased 20
see him as he had been previously;
He said something about having an
appointment down at the village,
that he was sorry 70 be unsociable.
but that he was in the deuce OF a
hurry.
That's all right CalIigan said
easily. "Ill walk along with you.
I'm in no hurry"
Peter was not particularly
pleased, but he had to submit, and
the two men strolled along to-
gether
Calligan was not very good at d.
plomacy, and he went straight to
the object of his visit without pre-
amble.
What's the name of that fluffy
haired girl who used TO be at Win
terdicle's rather lot In the spring.
She was at the wedding, 1 know.

I'm hanged IL I can think of her
name"
Peter colored a little.

Peter had thought so too, but he
was not going to admit It.

They had almost reached KItty's
house now. and Peter stopped.
I've got to pay a call here.
Goodby for the present"
calligan nodded and walked of
thoughtfully.

course. He remembered uncom-
fortably how on many occasions

liEan. disgustedly.
He was not 30 sure now that he
liked Peter Dennison particularly,
after all.
Eva's prophecy with regard to
the weather was not so far out,
after all. for two days after her
marriage the sun suddenly drew
the clouds about its face and tor
rents OF rain descended on New
York.
The winterdicks took their
meals downstairs now with the

and talked platitudes for the bene-

Eva told herself bitterly--they had
been married for years and years.
Since that frst night Philip had
msde no attempt to allude again
to their estrangement. He was al
ways courteous and kind, always
willing to do anything she wished.
but his attentions were those of an
ordinary acquaintance. Whatever
his real feelings were, he hid them
admirably, and Eva told herself
fiercely that she was glad she had
not believed in his sincerity when
he pleaded so passionately for an
other chance; that Il showed she

The Story So Far

Frank Manners. an artist OF
reputation, is doing some work
for rich woman in California.
He has always been devotedly
attached TO his wife. Diana. He
reads over her letters of the last
few months and feels that she Is
neglecting their small daughter.
He decides to go East. On the
train he meets hunter who tells
him a tale of a wild goose. When
Manners arrives home he Is
keenly disappointed in Diana's
conduct and in her coldness
toward him; but finds much Joy
in the love of his daughter, Tam.
He tries TO find out what Is trou-
bling Diana, and she finally tells
him she is in love with Ogden
Fem. Manners then tries to per-
suade her TO give up Fem. Fall
ing in this, he tells Fem he
must give UP Diana. Manners
calls on Mary Hastings. a friend
to him and TO Diana. Mary Hast
ings also talks to Fem. Manners
goes to California. finishes his
work, and returns.

seems to me that it is buried under

always ready to jump TO its feet.

She turned and went slowly up
the stairs. From the landing she
smiled TO him and waved her hand.

stood in the cold night air listening

particular train stopped at every
station and was almost always late.
Manners was not the only lis
tener in the house. Upstairs at
window which she had opened, Mrs.
Langham was also listening. She
had developed with relation TO her
son-in-law a peculiar intuitive SYM
pathy, by which she was sometimes
enabled to penetrate mis- varying
moods, and even to follow for
time his trains of thought, And
she knew that tonight his mood
was dangerous. He did not know
