The following from the Scientific

people: "Since Macmillan. the we'll
known arctic explorer, went north on
his present expedition there have
been three instances of radio forgery
where some amateur with radio
telephone transmitter has gone on the
air and impersonated Macmillan. For
instance. the Philadelphia Public
Ledger recently published an account
to the effect that one of the officers
of a Philadelphia trust company had,
at his summer home in the Pocono
Mountains, distinctly heard MaCMil
Ian broadcast message by voice.
In truth and in fact, Macmillan has
no voice transmitter and uses moth

Middle Age Is Not Out Of
 Running

Time was when the woman of 40 was definitely in the discard Romance was so far back in her past that she could scarcely recall it. All fiction, which so accurately feels the pulse of leaders, and gauges public reactions, painted heroines in their teens, and described the throes. of adolescent loves and jealousies, finally ending the novel with marriage at 20.
 Always until recently. Now the realistic novel writer sees something new and extraordinary in the lives of women. He knows a number of widows, fat, fair and forty, who are that they have love affairs which are far more vital and interesting than the pale, anaemic rhapsodices of sweet
 And so we have novels called The about Autumn Fires, and books that < stir up controversies on two con- stinents about The Dangerous Age!
 In old days, when woman of 40 had married very young, so that she had grandchildren and was rele- gated to the fireside, and had drudged
 
 had not mental activities, there was nothing romantic in her daily exist ence.
 But the modern "middle-aged' lady, with marcelled hair, and manicured finger nails, and fashionable garments is not to be ignominiously declared out of the running If she has lost her husband-by the grace of God or of the local magistrate-she is by no means averse to lively filtration or hectic love affair.
 She plays golf, bridge and Nah Jong. She dances and attends the theatre. She sits on Charity Boards,
 To take part in movements for Civic Betterment or to earn good living in business; to go to Europe twice q year, representing her firm, be she the head buyer, is gratifying, and fills her purse. But let no one think that financial pastimees are her ony ones
 She may enjoy her second blooming with far greater appreciation than she felt for the light romances of her salad days!
 The pink of youth may no longer animate her cheek, but an excellent artistic substitute is furnished by the beauty parlor. A permanent wave makes her hair a thing of indestruct- ible loveliness, even in the cruel first light of morning. She has intelli- gence and vivacity, and experience has taught her tact, that indispensable boon to the proper management of the male species. She is not selfishly inconsiderate of her grown children. A lot of yicarious experience is offered her married daughter. She is eagerly interested in her grandchildren. She has the sense to keep hands off her son-in- law, and he thinks she is a good sport, and hopes his wife will stay young the way her mother has done
 Sometimes, of course, the woman of forty-to-fifty is very, lonely. Her housekeeping and child-rearing days

 Nibbler hastened to say that he didn't want to know. There were dan. gers enough for him right there in Farmer Browns barn. The Green Meadows must be- a terrible place to live, with all those. dreadful people about. For his part he was wholly satisfied to remain right where he was and he hoped that Danny didn't have any foolish thought of going back to the Green Meadows. A

 There are women of means who let crooks of the male world flatter them and get hold of their fortunes. The world laughs heartily, insisting that there is no fool like an old fool. But lonely women are peculiarly a prey to the adventurer's wiles, because they so appreciate being compli- mented, in, q ,Flapper Age, when so much is made of more juvenile beauty They long for a second blooming, and do not always have the judgment to recognize the shark who is after their money, and enough of a psychologist to cater to their weakness.
 There are other women who have not kept up with the times, and are relics of the period when a feminine creature was shelved at 40. They have never cultivated their brains, or interested themselves in impersonal problems. They are throwbacks to past centuries and do not fit.
 The really dangerous age is reached when a woman rages at the graying hair, and increasing wrinkles: when she mourns her vanishing youth and beauty. In desperation, she clings to the fragments of her sex lure, and seeks amorous experiences, not so much for themselves, as for their proof of her still existing power! Woe be to the confirmed bachelor, or the widower just emerging from his years mourning: neither one will have a ghost of show, if she decides to cap ture him! as.

THE TREND OF FASHION
IT HERE are certain well defined

TT HERE are certain well defined style notes that stamp frock as unmistakably of this. seasons origin. One is the clever use of tucks, an- other the decorative touch supplied by buttons and the third, the employment of jabot to add bit of feminine softness.
 These are the features that give cachet to the model illustrated, frock that is, as smart as it is practical and one that is an ideal choice for the early days of spring.
 It is developed in black crepe de chine for there is now no doubt in the minds of anyone who follows. fashion that black is very much in~yogue for street and daytime wear. One also hears that, contrary to the predictions of the. early season, the simple beau tifully fashioned evening gown of black satin crepe or lace has reappeared and promises to achieve success.
 The most interesting feature of this model is the arrangement of tucks on the skirt. First comes a section of very tiny ones below which is a wide tuck ornamented with flat white pearl buttons. The lower part of the skirt repeats the arrangement even to- the row of buttons.
 The line of the collar is particularly becoming and is emphasized by a pleat- ed jabot of white crepe de chine. White also appears in the gilet of crepe de chine to which monogram embroid- cred in lacquer red silk gives a note of decoration. s
 A smart little hat of red straw trim med with black velvet ribbon is in keeping with the color scheme.

4a r,~ I am like a girl in every way,fss mil lions of women know. < Not alone in looks,. but in vim and pep. The thou- sands who see me daily on the stage wonder it my vivacity. I am ever on my toes. .sg = Lam; at the fireside age, after. more than forty years as, stage star. Yet appear like fdebutante. And all my girlish, looks count littlesa com pared with my girifsh go.
 Now am going to tell you how I get that inner youth.
 l Feed the Glands , I take gland treatments s-thcse, treat ments you read so much about today. I feed the glands with glands. I. re- store their activity, build them up, by the greatest of modern methods.
 The glands are the source of youth. When their activity declines, feed them and revive them, And their only food is dessicated glands taken from young animals.
 I have proved that youth can be revived in that way. And l am one of the supreme examples of the mar velous results.
 But We Need More
 But my advisers have convinced me that we need more than glands. w e need phosphorus to feed the nervesi We need tonics to activate all bodily functions
