form far too limited field Of inquiry

That Bad Loser.

| Beware, gtrlsl If you want he
golden gift Of popularity you've Got
to watch your step often. ThAre are
a hundred little things to be avodded
by any one who wants to attract q
large circle Of friends.
To those Of you who are Watching
others MISUNDERSTANDING Yen had
their good times, their tnexhaustible
supply Of admirers-their easy assur-
ance that every one likes them-t
may seem that these bright stars are
| Just the luckiest people In the world
j But, believe me, they have to be care
| full on a hundred little points. And
one Of the most important things the
popular girl must learn Is to be good
loser. Boys are great lovers of sports
and sportsmanship. They appreciate
1t In a girl. They despise poor sports
manship. and any one displaying 1t
gets the air" promptly. How many
of you are honest-to- goodness good
sports? Do you play bridge? Can you
| hold bad cards all evening and still
smile easily and naturally when your
opponents, playing very badly. trim
you time after time. Can you take a
terrible beating at tennis with q large
| crowd looking on and still be your
own good natured self? Are you grace
full in admitting that the new girl at
the lakeside resort where you're stay
ing beats you all hollow at swimming
and riding?
Or are you like Emily? Emily does
all things well. And she does them
/ all very seriously. indeed. At bridge
she is all smiles and honey and Jokes
and giggles untfl she begins to lose
steadily. Then her manner changes
her fingers drum nervously on the
table, her lips straighten into q thin
| line, her eyes narrow. If there's a
delay in the deal, she'll say, impatient
ly, "Oh, hurry and deal for Heavens
sake"
And, Of course. all the other players
grin at each other significantly. At
tennis Emily's in the hest of spirits
while she's making the other player
| look like truck horse.
But just wait until she meets some
body who takes it out of her in six
| love games straight. She becomes
white with fury. tense with nervous
ness, irritated at the slightest inter-
ruption. She has been known to end
game in which she's heen badly
licked by throwing down her racket
and running off the court.
If the boys don't hiss audibly it's
| only because they're gentlemen. She
sneers openly at others swimming
and diving. When some one Is obvi-
ously much better at these sports
than she could ever hope TO he she
refuses to perform while they're
around.
All Of which proves her to be a
bad sport. and puts her In the class
of undesirables. Do learn to be good
sports, girls. Take your beatings
smilingly and easily. You'll gain
more by this attitude than you ever
lost at any game.
No matter how bitter the taste Of
defeat, don't make a horrid face when
you're taking your medicine.

The writer asked Miss Anderson
the basis upon which she chose the
members of the bureau staff, because
her answer would be the hest possible
definition Of the bureaus attitude.
She said THE qualifications for a
position on the staff Of the Women's
Bureau are naturally economics and
a practical knowledge of labor prob
lens. The special agents duties are
to collect data In connection with In
dustrial Investigations in factories
and work places which will bring out
facts relating to the economic status
of women wage earners. While we
require high standards OF education.
from the very nature of o'r work It
is most important that our field agents
particularly shall have had practical
experience in industry in positions
involving responsible contact with
conditions affecting the women work

edge of economics, with specialization

In explanation of the four shapes
of the stomach, there is:
First. the stomach which Is shaped
like a steers horn, large end upper
most. This Is called the hypertonic
stomach and has great muscular
power.
Second, the stomach shaped like the
letter "J,' termed orthonc because

Third. the stomach shaped more
like letter "U," as the left arm
aches half the height of the right,
making the shape nearer ''U" than
u" This kind Of stomach is hypo-
tonic and has less than normal tone.
Fourth, the stomach shapes still
more like a "U,' the left arm coming
up nearly as high as the right. There
Is practically no tone at all in this
kind of stomach, which is called
atomic.
The digestion Of a howl Of bismuth

FOOD AND HEALTH

Poor Younger generation. How
its members do suffer at the hands
Of those who are certainly its elders
II not its betters! Let us by all
means leave to the psychologists such
phases of the problem as belong to
them. but why not do a little work
on our own account, those Of us who
believe that complete nutrition works
wonders in the way Of prevention
when II comes to such matters as an
overdeveloped-or IL 1t underdevel-
oped-emotional nature?
OF course, we should not take the
young people into our confidence be-
fore institution of our program. No
one likes, for example. to be told that
his soul-devastating sensations arise
from a disordered liver. Nor can We
expect the youngsters in their turbu-
lent twenties to respond to any sug-
gestion that plenty of milk and fresh
vegetables and fruits and brown
bread and fresh butter will help enor-
mously in changing their views as to
the probable destination of the human
race.
So for US it should be case of
benevolent concealment of motives
and canny procedure along the lines
Of diet improvement. For we have
sound physiological backing for our
premise. The still growing bodies of
our would-be blase young people need
careful feeding as much as their still
developing emotions require careful
guidance; the one will, as we have
pointed out, help the other.
It may not he easy; nothing worth
while ever Is. For II We insist on
overemphasizing the dull side of diet
We shall defeat our own ends. In
stead the delicateiy organized frame
of the girl and the rapidly develop
ing organism of the very young man
should be studied, silently and unob-
trusively, by the mother or guardian,
and a system Of diet and hygiene de-
vised that will regulate for the pres
ent while building for the future. Not
that any special diet" will be neces-
sary. A good all-rcund mixed diet in
reasonable quantities, one that fea-
lures the foods listed in an earlier
paragraph, Is the basis for such a
program. There should be, II is true,
certain taboos. Sweets should be cur
tailed within reason, as should rich"
and made dishes"
For the most part, however, COM
nonsense diet and common-sense
exercise, rest and recreation will be
ali that are required. The point we
are striving to make here Is that one
should keep constantly in mind the
connection between such program
and the maintenance Of a balanced
emotional nature.
