FIND THE ACORN

An acorn in itself is an insignificant, unimportant, COM
mon place little thing. But the oak treel Is there any tree
more sturdy, more imposing than it?
Mary Elizabeth when she started to make candy III her
own home did a very common place casual thing. But the result,
a business having many stores and famous throughout tins
entire country, that is the oak tree which her casual little
acorn of endeayor produced.
After the war a young man i'll Philadelphia found his
acorn of opportunity in the sale by the War Department OF a
large quantity of trench knives of the type used by our troops
in France. He secured an option OH a quantity OF these
knives and inserted a small inexpensive advertisement III a
publication widely read by exservice men, featuring the
knives as souvenirs of the war. Fifteen hundred orders re-
suited from this first advertisement and each sale brought a
goodlv profit. Needless to say he continued to advertise and
his oak tree steadily grew.
You are so good at making all kinds OF artistic things;
why don't you start an art shop? Such was the casual re-
mark made by one friend to another. 1t proved the acorn
of real opportunity for the artistic friend, who possessed
enough ambition and gumption to execute the plan. Starting
a few short years ago to display her art wares i'll a little sec
ton of a picture shop, today this young woman IS the owner
of an art shop all her own.
Find your acorn of opportunity. 1t is there II you Will
but have the vision to see 1t.

Woman Is Mentally
Superior OMAN Up
To25, Says College

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 20:-Women
under twenty-five years of age are
more intelligent than men of the
same age, but after the twenty-fifth
year men gradually pass women and
attain a higher menta. efficiency, ae-
cording to statistics compiled in the
administrative and educational de-
paltments of the University of Arr
zona.
The university cites its local sta
tistics to show that the average
scholastic standing for women stu
dents was considerably above the
general average of all persons en-
rolled. The standings were:
General university average: 1866
per cent.
Women: 1.96.
Men: 1.50.
Professor Alva O. Neal, university
registrar and professor of rural edu-
cation, contends hal high school and
college girls usually show more apti-
tude for study than high school and
college boys. A fourteen-year-old
high school girl, he says, is the men,
tai equal of a boy of sixteen, in
line with the condition that most
women equal in intelligence men
two years their senior until the
women reach their twenty-fifth year.
Professor Neal attributes this to
the longer period of infancy In men,
Women mature more rapidly, he
points out, but when men become
developed completely they beneft
by the increased preparation of tht
long adolescence. Thus men d.
adults attain more.
He sees another factor in women
lack of necessity for competition
From this point of view, they "havt
suffered from too much protection
In biology, he explains, it is shown
that protected animals, those tina
do not have to rely on their OWL
prowess to meet adverse conditions
fail to reach the right stat eof de-
yelopment attained by those forging
ahead single-handed and fighting
past obstacles.
In the past. he recalls, women
have led a sheltered life, and there
fore men, having all the opportun-
tiles, attained their supposed mental
superiority. Today he sees condi-
tions changing. With women enter
ing the professions in continually
greater numbers, competing with
men in business, and "succo eding as
well as men," he predicts that men
will have to step fast to maintain
their standard of mental superiority
over IN after the age OF ma
turity."
Eventually women may be the
mental superior o men throughout
life, the professor hazards.

grafton an xcuse and the question
Is as serious for America as for the
immigrant.
