lawyer, for instance, may so impress
his friends and their friends whom he
meets at their houses with his honesty
and shrewdness that when they hap
pen TO need the services of a lawyer
they naturally turn to him. Or more
often they become personally fond of
him and turn any professional bust
ness his way that they can, simply
through a desire TO see him succeed.
So often a doctor builds up a practice
through the influence of friends and
acquaintance.
But it would be quite another mat
ter for a young lawyer when at the
tempt to gain the patronage of any
other of the guests.
One young man | know, who is hav-
ing an uphill time gaining his pro-
fessiOnaI education, vas persuaded by
the promoters of a stock-selling enter
prise that he could sell enough stock
in the evening among his friends to
pay all his educational expenses. Con-
WINGED of the merits of the various
sorts of stock that this enterprise is
promoting, this young man never
misses a chance when he is invited to
the house Of a friend to sell stock
either to his host or TO one of the other
guests. He ever tried to persuade a
young woman with whom he had just
been dancing that it would be to her
advantage TO invest some of her saw
ings in one of these ventures in which
he was interested.
Needless { o say this young man is
not asked TO so many houses as he
used TO be and if he does not mend
his tanners he will find himself really
taboo in the little circles where he
once enjoyed an enviable popularity.

PIPE NOW ORNAMENTS WALL
II as a Medium for Enjoying
Quiet Smoke.

An Indianapolis man whose work
keeps him in his office all day long oc-
c~asiOnally finds recreation in doing
bits of odd jobs in woodworking. For
three months he worked at spare
times. and as the spirit moved him,
at f%ashiOning a Chinese pipe. Finally
he finished the job and took il TO a
painter for the stains, filler and var
nish. The painter did a good job. and
the pipe was a beauty TO behOld-two
feet long, brass knob and shaped
bowl. 1t looked like a mandarin's IA
vorite. He took the thing home and
in a sort of a ceremonial rite filled IL
with his favorite tobacco, fired IN up
and drank deeply of its dream stuff.
Deeply and dream stuff is right, be-
cause about half an hour later he lay
sprawled unconscious on the floor OF
an upstairs hall until his wife revived
him with cold towels. Now he knows
all about the effects Of the volatile
substances in paints and varnishes.
He also has a beautiful Chinese pipe,
smoked once, hanging on the wall.

but it is regarded as essential to the

PUTNAM FADELESS DYE
+ PEP IN SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
Authority Makes Plea for Games That
Are Characterized by Energy
and Vim.

"Jellyfsh gymnastics, or stupid, silly
games, played half-heartedly, have lit
tie place in the proper physical devel-
opment of the growing child" declares
DIR. E. Blanche Sterling, acting assist
ant surgeon, United States public
health service, in commenting on the
health of school children. In planning
exercise with view to the promo
ton of good posture, she suggests
they should be simple and vigorous
and full of energy and vim.
The posture of school children can
not, however. be said to depend chiefly
on any one condition, she holds. De-
fective vision, adenoids and bad tonsils
tend to have bad effect on the child's
posture. Where hygienic conditions
in n school are not the best there Is
an increase of poor posture. Good
nutrition is Il contributing factor to
good posture, but by no means an in
dispensable condition. Condition of the
teeth she claims, has no effect. Doc
tor Sterling's findings are based on a
study of three elementary schools at
Bedford, Ind.
