The banker may not have been

The important thing is not the

greater share of this additional in
crease in cost: the important
thing is the recognition that un-

is ever the tendency OF increased

they can fitch a ''de duck" from

middlemen and agents is always
likely To increase, rather than to
diminish by itself Some of these
men may add something to the
value of the article in question /;
Others may justly icXact a toll be-

Aside from these men, however.
there are always gentlemanly

they neither toll nor spin, rigor-

Fullers Earth.

Fuier's earth is a variety of clay
sometimes used for cleaning cloth that
has been soled by grease or oil. 1t
is In the form of fine powder, which
is very porous. When applied to cloth
the earth absorbs the grease. Fuller's
earth formerly was used in factories
for securing wooden fabrics, but other
methods have replaced it. 1t is com
posed of alumina, silica, magnesia and
lime, and feels like powdered soap.
Certain silicious rocks yield this ma
terial upon decomposition. and de-
positS of it are found in Florida and
South Dakota. Some years ago fine
quality Of the clay was discovered in
the mining lands near Denver. Pack
ers use the earth for refining lard.
1t is found in large quantities in Ger
many and other parts of Europe

CHARACTER NOT EASILY READ
Ideas to the Contrary. Long Held,
Have Been DisapproVed by
Painstaking Studies.

Even one OF the most plausible
statements, namely. that high fore
head is n sign of intelligence. has been
definitely I.Sapproved by the pains
taking studies of Karl Pearson. He
demonstrated experimentaliy that the
color of the hair, or its straightness
or curliness. shows ones intelligence
,better than does high forehead. al
though these are not offered either as
good induces. In other words, there
has been found no definite relationship
between any single popularity of the
shape of the head and any trait of
character, Henry Foster Adams writes
in Scribners.
For many years an Italian. crlminol-
ogist, Lomhroso, made study of Grim
inal structural pecullariues and their
relationship TO crime. He found we'll
marked tendencies for criminals 10
possess certain stigmata or signs, hut
unfortunately the signs of the criminal
were found to be widely prevalent
among those whose names had never
been upon police blotters. Ii was his
pet scheme 10 have all individuals who
were marked by peculiar sign
watched by his detectives, thus pre-
venting crime instead of merely pun
fishing it after it had been committed.
1t was entirely impracticable, for the
characteristic sign of a murderer was
found in altogether too many tender
hearted individuals TO make the
scheme at all feasible.
All systems Of similar nature In
which relationship has, been sought
between traits of chara cter and pect-
iiarity uf tile Structure, have met about
the same fate.

"Llmousine's orialn.D

The word Limousine" has a pic
turesque origin. 1t is named after the
head covering of certain women of
France, the inhabitants Of the region
around the city of Limoges, which
was the capital of the old province
of Limousin. A woman of this region
would be called Limousine The
peasant women thereabOut wear a
sort of Golf, or hood. with a cape at
tached. This has come to be known
as limousine because the peasant
women of Limoges wear it.
The French have a sort of COW
cred cart. much like a prairie schoon-
er, which was named. limousine be-
cause it was covered with a hood.
Thus we see the evolution of the word
from the peasants Golf to the modern
high-powered automobile.

HOW NOVEL SERVES PURPOSE

Men. when they are young and eager

little need for imaginative books: but
when their eagerness is dulled. when
they have reached more contempiatiye
years. then the recorded poetry of ex-
istence can be priceless recompense.
But II must, in order 10 endure. have
the beauty of form and courage, and 1t
must be universal TO the heart. A
regularity OF such literature is that

but how often, for how long. is an

perfect moments has man in the long
months of his life? Not enough 10 dis

TO make the other possible. Novels

True Ar. selects and .Paraphrases.

When the novelist introduces bore

bore the reader. The fellow must be
made amusing. which he would not be
in real life. In nine cases out of ten
an exact reproduction of real life
would prove tedious Facts are not
necessarily valuable, and frequently
they add nothing to fiction. The art

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"HURRAH!"

! THROUGH apparently Of Anglo
L Saxon origin because it is
. an exclamation used principally
by Englishspeaklng people,
/, "Hurrah." is of Teutonic an
cestry. being derived from the
word hurr. also the basis of the
English verb hurry" 1t is, in
. fact, only an amplification of
, this German word, which made
its first appearance ip/ English
in the form of ''Hurray''-a pro-
nunciation which is probably
: more popular today than the use
of the broad "a" Indicative OF
: the "ah" sound.
Examination of the marching
. songs and martial literature of
Germany at the time of the
Napoleonic wars shows that
"Hurrah," was frequently used
by the Prussian soldiery at that
: time and even began to seep
,, into the French language in the
: form of hourra. But the resi-
dents of the other side of the
, Rhine preferred TO cling to their
"yive," an ejaculation which is
: interviewer with French history
! for centuries past The Ger
Z mans also soon abandoned the
: exclamation in favor of "Hoch :"
bur the English took 1t up and
English-speaking people have
found in it an extremely salts
factory means of expressing
, their enthusiasm and approval.
