been hidden so long that standards
of beauty for the ear have been
practically forgotten. Yet beautiful
the ear certainly Is, according to the
verdict of artists of every age.
Sculptors may perhaps be said to
concern themselves with the ear
more than painters. A study of any
collection of famous paintings shows
comparatively few in which women's
ears are clearly depicted. Generally
they are Swallowed and partly or al
| together hidden by the line of the
hair.
In sculpture, on the other hand,
where faithful portrayal of anato-
my is intended, and where an am
biguous line is impossible, the ears
appear in more detail. The human
ear to the sculptor is an interesting
problem From the time of the Egyp-
tians and the Greeks, statues OF
women have worn ears partly or en-
tirely revealed.
Beauty Depends Upon Size
Henry X. Bush-Brown, noted
sculptor, says that artists have al
ways considered the ear an orna-
ment to the head. It's beauty, how
ever, is sometimes enhanced when
it is partially concealed, he explains.
He points out that the Greek sculp-
tors often obtained a beautiful effect
by portraying the lower part Of the
I ear showing below graceful hair
I line.
1.-THE beauty of the ear" Mr..
Bush-Brown says, depends some
what on it's size. 1t should not be too
large, nor yet too small. For sym.
metry it should be about the length
of the nose, and graceful in line and
modelling. The ears should, of course,
| be set close to the head"
Many of us would say off-hand
| that the ears are not a particularly
distinguishing feature. This sculptor
says that there is probably more
variance in ears than In any other
feature. A seventeenth century
scholar Of Venice who attempted to
classify ears found no less than
thirty-six general types. Miss Ellis
has pointed out that this number can
be multiplied by three because OF
three sizes of ears, large, medium
and small, and also again. by four
because ears are long, short, square

general classes Of ear.
Some physiognomists have at
tempted to prove that character can
be read in the ear-that certain pro
portions, lines and angles of an ear
indicates certain qualities in the
possessor. This is an extension OF
such popular beliefs as the one that
long ear signifies long life. Aged
people often do have long ears, 1t is
| true. But close observers have de-
clared that the ear becomes slight.
ly enlarged in old age. In other
words, a person has not reached old
age because he has long ears; his
ears appear long because of his age.
Aside from this change, most stu.
dents Of the ear agree that the ears
do not alter after they attain their
| full size. It is also generally agreed
that ears are more useful as ear
ring holders than as indexes to

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW NJ SOULE
PROTECTING SHEEP AGAINST
DISEASE

1t is useless to engage in the
rearing of sheep unless we are pre-
pared to protect the health of the
Hook. Here in the south there are a
number of diseases which prove par.
ticularly injurious to sheep. Among
these are the stomach worm, grub
in the head, the sheep tick, the
screw worm, tn esheep wool maggot
and foot rot. Those who are handling
sheep must familiariZe themselves
wit htheSe diseases, learn how TO
identify and control them. When
this is done, one of the primary OBJ
staeles in the way of raising sheep
successfully in the southeastern
states win have been overcome. DR.!
H. v. Persells, of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture, offers the
following timely suggestions along
this line:
) While pointing out the advantages
of sheep raising in Georgia 1t Is only
fair to mention some OF the posi-
BILE disadvantages; not to discourage
the industry but to assist the flock
master and the prospective flock
master in guarding against those
conditions that might become dis
couraging if encountered without a
good working knowledge of their
control.
I'VE are pleased to state that dis
eases are not now prevalent among
the flocks of Georgia, but as sheep
raising increases new stock will be
brought in from other states, and 1t
is only natural that diseases may be
introduced in this manner; and it is
with view to assisting the sheep
raiser to meet and forestall these
possible invasions that this portion
of the bulletin is undertaken.
The stomach worm is probably
the greatest hindrance OF all adverse
conditions that confront the sheep
industry in the south. Owing to the
mild climate, and the most and tim
bered condition of great portion
of our pasture land, conditions are
favorable to the development and
perpetuation of this parasite which
passes a considerable portion of its
life cycle on the ground and on the
grass. The adult stomach worm
lives in the fourth compartment of
the stomach of the sheep and there
deposits its eggs. The eggs pass out
with the partly digested food and
finally reach the ground in the feces
mature) where they hatch in from
few hours up to several days, or
even weeks, according to the condi-
ton of the weather, warm weather
being most favorable.
The young worm Qarva) crawles

reaching certain degree of develop
ment which is termed "the infec-

in recent years, but Mr.. Wilson, III the
state of his health permits, is in a po-
sition to revive an invaluable institu-
ton.
No other president ever had his
wealth and variety Of experience In
peace and in war. No other president
ever had to Play his part on SO vast

profoundly affected the course of
world history. No other president
was ever less concerned with mere
partisan advantage.
The more that Mr.. Wilson has to
do with American politics the better
it will be for American politics and
for the American people. 1t Is not
essential that they should always fol-
low his advice, but 1t is necessary
that there should be somebody who
can strike the note, that only he can
strike 1t is necessary that there
should again be leadership that is not
