In spite Sof some disagreement
among the authorities, the knowledge
of the inheritance of physical traits
is now sufficiently precise, according
to DR.. Davenport, that it may be ap-
piled practically to cases of doubtful
parentage. Already" he says, the
eugenjcs record office has been asked
to answer certain questions about the
inheritance of traits in case of
claimant who maintained that he was
the son of a wealthy man who died
without heirs. As lawyers get more
used to the idea of utilizing the adj
vances of knowledge for evidence, it
is probable that eugenical knowledge
will be more and more called upon.

BREVITY.


The match that flickers for just n
moment, the minute that is so soon

in the waves of darkness for but a

comes before it is gone-how brief
each is!
The morning breaking thru sun
beams and shadows, promising. greet

long stay-how quickly it rolls to its
couch thru soft lights, away from the
closing eyes of a firing earth.
We awake-only to sleep again.
Days are but the breathings OF Etcr-

Today the tiny handful of baby in
pink or blue wrappings of exquisite
softness-tomorrow the man of af-

said William Knox.
We journey only to return again

why He Doesn't Make a Hit.
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds highest Paid Woman WE1eeH.

| Why He Doesn't Make a Hit.
A young man writes me that he has
a great craving to be popular with
the ladies, but that he isn't. Try as
earnestly as he may, he has never
been able to capture the tickle. femi-
nine fancy. The young women he
calls upon are apt to be out, or else
suffering from violent headache. When
he asks a girl to dance she wears
the look of an Early Christian Martyr
instead of the pleased expression OF
the cat that has just eaten the canary
And the unhappy youth wants to
know why this is thus, and why no
body loves him.
Alas. nobody can un-riddle his rid

tween the sexes is a mystery that no
one has ever solved. What quality
it is in a woman that draws all men
to her, while men flee from another
woman who is her superior in looks. in
intelligence and amiability. we do not
know. Nor do we know why women
go crazy over some graceless scamp
who hasn't even a handsome face to
recommend him, while they turn down
his brother who is all that real man
should be.
1t is just that the gods have given
to certain men and women a charm to
conjure with-a look in the eye, way
with them = that elusive something

Generally speaking, however, when
a. man finds himself persona non grata
with the girls, he might give himself
the once-over. and see if he is guilty
of any of these faults:
What sort of a locker is he? And.
particularly. how does he dress?
Women don't demand any special
degree of pulchritude in q man, as
men demand beauty in women. In

up, and well groorned, and to look
as if he was a somebody instead of
something they had fished out of the
ash can.
Nothing attracts a woman to a man
more at first sight than for him to be
well dressed, and particularly for him
to be imma culately clean. A man
may have the brains of a genius. the
character of a saint. and the ability
that will carry him to success, but no
girl wants to have him around. or to

The old proverb says that manners
make the man. They certainly do as
far as women are concerned. This
goes both in public and private. Wo-
men hate and loathe the man who is
loud, and self-assertive, who argues
on every conceivable subject, and who
is forever getting in rows with the
walters at restaurants, and the ushers
at the theater, and taxi drivers. and
conductors on street cars. They like
a man who knows his way about, and
who can get good service without
fighting for it.

The Masons of Maryland neither

members from becoming Klansmen
It takes sides neither with mol

The question as to the relation OF
Maryland Masons to the Klan came
up here today following announce
ment that yesterday the Ku Kluz
Klan in Pennsylvania was outlaWed
by the Grand Lodge of Free Masons
Of Pennsylvania.
The status of the Masons in Mary
land in regard to the Klan was eX-
planned by Warren S. Seipp, Grand
Master of the $4,000 Masons in
Maryland.
''The action of Pennsylvania Ma
sons" said Mr.. Seipp, was purely
local. AS far as l know, no other
State Masonic body has taken similar
action. Each State organization is
independent so far as such questions
are concerned Indeed, the matter
has never been mentioned to the
Grand Lodge of Maryland"
Mr.. Seipp explained that Mason
can join any organization outside
the Masonic organization if the other
organization does not conflict with
Masonic principles.

of cases of persons shot with rifles by
boys have been treated at the hos

received by the police of windows
broken or of persons who have mar

the hands of boys. An ordinance of
Cambridge prohibits the shooting OF
firearms within the corporate limits
and notice is hereby given to all par
