NEW EXAMINATION.

Paris.-DoctOrs examining the new
conscription class of 1921, which is to
be called to the colors this month, have
a new question to put to each youth as
he stands before the examiners clad in
his "alltogether."
1t is: "Are you a medioligne or bre-
viligne?"
Constripts who thought the doctors
We're calling them names were gently
told that the terms are the result of
new discovery by DR.. Thoris that by
examining the bones of man by
x-rays it is possible to tell with prac-
tical certainty whether he is capable of
sustaining long marches and hard la
Dor, or whether he is better at brain
work and ought to be put in the cav
airy or the ONO.
incidentally, 1t was discovered Apol-
10 wasn't by any means an ideal ply
sical type. He would never have got
by the medical board, because he was
too evenly proportioned. The best
male structure, says Thoris, is that of
the medi0ligne, who has short legs but
aTong and powerful trunk. AS an ex.
ample he cited Georges Carpenter.

Lexington, Va.-Mr. Cotton of Mem

pion Of Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, but whether his first name is
Henry or Nicholas nobody but the
Memphis twins know. They are
alike as peas and after winning their
way through tryouts to the annual
championship fought it out clad in SIM
pie gymnasium suits. Somebody won,
but 1t looked like man wrestling
with himself, and the referee would
not take a chance on Identification. He
merely announced that the champion
ship had been "won by Mr.. Cotton"
and the audience roared approval.

GET VALUE OF EACH MINUTE
No Man Has Right to Waste His
Own Time or Steal That
of Another's.

Life is composed only of two things,
time and effort. One is useless without
the other. Both should be as nearly
100 per cent productive as we are able
to make them.
Try as best we may, the end of life
will find us with many things un-
done.
No man ever wholly completed the
task allotted to him. There is Il rea-
sonable excuse if into our use of time
no waste creeps.
For the man VINO wastes his own
time or steals another's there is nri-
ther excuse or valid reason.
Put value on every minute. Be as
anxious and as certain to get that
value rs you are to gain the worth of
your dimes and your dollars.
Remember that once a minute has
passed by it is gone fOrever-F. A.
