At school. at home, In all his walks

building up a habit of self-deception

Bigger Better Women.

DR.. Clelia Duel Mosher. a professor
Of personal hygiene and medical ad-
wiser Of women In Stanford Univer-
sity, Is always doing something to
improve the physical status and hap

DIR. Mosher several years ago shat

girls and women just because they

She had an opportunity to observe
and study a great many college girls
and demonstrated that the girl who
refuses to count herself sick just be-

Bob White, sitting on fence post,
had seen all that had happened over
in the wheat field. He had seen the
dog find the flock of young Bob
Whites. He had seen the hunter come
up with his terrible gun. He had
seen the young Bob Whites fly and

But he knew that at least one had

this he couldn't be sure.
He kept his place on the fence post
and watched his children scatter as
they had been taught to do. They
scattered far and wide, for never In
their rather short lives had they been
frightened as they now were. So

SAN FRANCISCO BAY

 MANY STOLEN AUTOS

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8.-The bottom of San Francisco Bay may be searched as possible parking sta tion" for scores of unrecovered stol- en or wilfully lost automobile, as the result of a confession of an alleged automobile thief that to escape de- lection, he drove a car into the bay at the Presidio here.
 Aside from actual theft of the cars, B. w. McCay, chief investigator of the theft bureau of the Pacific Coast Automobile Underwriters Conference, to whom the confession was made, believes "that the waters of San Francisco Bay cover number of machines which were driven therein by persons who later collected insur- ance after reporting their cars stolen.
 "Only recently" he said, "the po- lice of Vancouver, B. C., retrieved a dozen cars from the bottom of the Frazee River. If we recover any automobiles from the bottom of San Francisco Bay on which insurance has been paid to owners, we will re- quire the ownerss to do some ex- plaining."

presidents of the conference and also
to Ambassador Child in which he
said that although the Russian dele

before the conference they considered
they could have contributed in an i'm
portant way to the solution of va
rious problems if they had been al
lowed to take part.
One of these problems which has
not been solved was the Armenian.
Despite indignation throughout Rus
STA at the manner in which their
delegates had been trated at Laus-

sired to give notice in co-operati.is
with Georgia and Ukraine of Russia's
intention to install on their respec

the number is still to be established.
The note adds that "details of this
project will be the subject of special
negotiations between the represent
