Men of Great Genius
Not Firstborn Children

1t has often been said that tirst-born
children are the cleverest in the fam
lily, but the careful investigation of
the Society of Bavarian School Teach
erS upsetS this theory. An inquiry
into "A cases of prominent personaIi-
ties of the artistic and literary world
showed that among them were only
ten first-born children. The vast ma
jority were late-born offspring. Feni-
more Cooper was the eleventh of,
twelve children; HonOre BalZac. the
youngest son of his parents; Napoleon
Bonaparte, the eighth child; Benjamin
Franklin, the youngest of seventeen;
Rembrandt, the fifth of six children;
Richard Wagner and Wolfgang Anna
deus Mozart were the last of seven;
Robert Schuman, the fifth, and Franz
Schubert the thirteenth of fourteen
children. The investigations thus show
that rather advanced age of the par
ents seems TO be more favorable to
the production of great personalities.

Benjamin Franklin invented the BIZ

Paris he frequently dined out where
there we're beautiful women In the COM
rany. Like all sensible men, he was
fond of good food. and fond of looking
at lovely women He declared 1t to be
important to see your food before you
put it into your mouth; but he also
wished to see the faces of the guests
that decorated the table. 1t was incon-
venient to put on one pair of spectacles
TO eat, and another pair every time
anybody spoke to him. He therefore
hit upon the device of having the upper

and the lower of another, which proved
in practice, like nearly everything he
thought of, eminently satisfactory

Curiosity Nearly Cost
Life of American Boy

One of the most sensational escapes
from a German military camp during
the World war was made by Legion
naire Harry Warren Atkinson of Chi
cago, who recently related the details
Of the escape to Capt. George HI. Nal
Ion, chairman of the Hennepin county
(Minn.) board of commissioners.
In October, 1918, Atkinson was a
prisoner at the Rheims temporary
prison camp. Each day he saw Ger
man aviation officer drop down on the
prison camp and leave his machine
while he walked over about half a mile
on a trip of inspection. One day At
kinson thought he would try an air
plane ride, although he had never
driven one before. That, however, did
not deter him. He got in and headed
for the French lines in German
plane. French anti-aircraft guns soon
found the German FOkker. At 5000
feet the Fokker was hit. The plane
started down. When Atkinson awoke
he was in plaster-of-paris cast in a
hospital In due course of time he was
given the Legion of Honor.
