In Scenario contest recently held

thousands of stories we're submitted.
the fact was revealed that the most

eight. That is. of all the heroines in
all the scenarios submitted greater
number were twenty eight than any
other age.
Twenty years ago an unmarried
woman uf twcnty-elght was hope

still below par in th" matrimonial

Read Your Character
Motive Writing
By Digbv Phillips

In the general science Of character.
ology It is customary to divide people
into three kinds of temperaments, call
ing them "doers.'' 'enjoyers'' and
thinkers" If you want to come right
down to fine point. however, this Is
not quite correct. You should first
divide them into two classes. "doers"
and "enioycrs" (call them "energetc"
and lazy" il YOU will) and then
divide each of these into thinkers"
and mon thinkers" the former being
that class in which the mental make up
completely dominates and submerges the
physical and in which miscu'a 'arity and
appetite are less than in the normal
person.
DO this. and yon will find that the
division corresponds TO the divisions
which arise naturallysin graphology.
Thus. ms was shown yesterday. the
writer's of rounded hands correspond to
the possessOrs Of rounded faces, the
"enjOyrrs. the easy going ones So
angular writing is the natural express
sion of those whose temperament shows
physically in action and energy. those
who will perform physical work, not
mercy for the results it will bring. but
because they actually enjoy the exer-
else.
They are. as a rule. energetic, active.
husky muscular. 1t is natural that
their writing should be angular. You
can even test it out on yourself. Work
yourself up into nm intense. energetic
mood and then write something. See
| If your writing is not more angular than
usual. Then cultivate n restful. placid.
easy going mood. and see If your natu :
raj tendency is not to round off your
! letters bit better. OF course, you
won't swing from one extreme to the
other, for your temporary mood viii
only slightly modify your customary or
habitual state of mind. which has
! worked itself out in the kind Of writing
which has become second nature to you.

Can You Tell?
What the Poison in Wood Alcohol Is
By r. J. and A. ". Bodmer

Nhat the Poison In Wood Alcohol Is
II what is commonly spoken of rs
wood alcohol had originally been called
by It's rcnl name, Mcthyl or Methanol
no one probably would have thought Of
drinking II, because, not only would we
hesitate at drinking anything so named,
but any dictionary would set us right as
to its real nature. The name should
never have been applied to it. as it Is
II solvent purely and not n beverage.
II was first manufactured in The
United States in 1880 as Il by product
of the lumber industry. Pieces Of wood
are placed in retort and by condcn
"ation liquid containing tarry and
obtained from this by distllation. The
first methanol was greenish yellow in
| color, nauscating to taste and Of bad
odor, and not palatable enough to drink
so no one thought Of doing so.
Within ten years, however, the prod
net had been refined until it looked
| like grain alcohol and contained so man,
of the properties of the latter that /,
was used ns such In preparations not tc
be taken internally. 1t was referred tc
as wood alcohol. Various manufacturers
gave different names to their product tC
overcome the havoc caused by this errO,
In naming it, but the name stuck and
continued to cause death and blindness
Even before the days Of prohibition VIZ
had epidemics Of wood alcohol poisoning
from drinking IT, as disastrous as the
present epidemic. Between 1890 and
| 1912 nearly 1000 cases were reported
About ~ per cent of the victims died,
while ~ per cent became totally blind,
and another II per cent suffered from
| impaired vision.

Mothers Who Refuse to Allow Girls

Are Exposing Their Daughters Greater Danger for The,
Are Sure to Meet Boys Secretly or Choose the
Wrong Kind of Boys

nyHEY wouldn't let her go with boys
y at home; said that she was toe

She was sixteen.
IA One time she met boy she liked
and because she liked him. because she
gculd see no harm in liking him and
k0ing out with him she sneaked out
and met him on the corner.
This went on for some time until her
mother caught her.
Then there were tears, seedlings, eN-
plantations and plcadings.
After n long time her mother Yielded.
and she was allowed to have the boy
come see her at home.
~ wonder, why 1t is that so many fam
HES fail TO 500 tho danger there is In
refusing to allow girls to have boy
friends?
One girl said tha, she was almost
spanked like little child because she
dared walk from the corner TO her home
with a boy whom she had known in
school.
And she was 'in love- with her
teacher in school. Young woman about
eight or ten years older than she.
YT A girl is so restricted in her
! friendships. she is bound to make up
for It. often in something that is very
much worse for her character and rep
ntation and mind than friendship with
boys.
Why shouldn't she be friends with
boys In the first place?
She will have to grow up some day
and take her place in the world: she
cannot escape knowing men then.
lAAA L. L.. L.
that girl so young does not know how
to take men and may be disillusioned
and hurt; when she Is older and has
learned moro Of the ways of the world
abe will be better able to take care of
herself and cope with men. the wicked
thinss!
But will she?
