Fallacies.

Here is bit OF pure imagination that
appears In many school text books and
perhaps even in some obscure medical
books, though can'h find it In any
medical books within my reach. A cor
respondent pits the idea in clear lam
glage, so we'll quote her view:
"The germs that cause cold may at
almost any time be found in the nose
and throat. but usually require some
other factor to render them active
enough to produce inflammation. This
may come in the form Of lowered vital
ity, strong drafts, wet feet or sudden
changes of temperature. Those who
are in the mountains or in other re-
gions where there Is but little chance
of infection rarely suffer from colds. AL
though the temperature may be low
and the exposure last for consider
able time"
In the first place. there is no scientific
evidence to support this fancy. II Is
rather an emergency assumption or a
lame compromise of the old-timers Who
fighting valiantly for the pure exposure
theory. find themselves shelied out OF
their forward trenches. and reluctantly
fall back 10 prepared position TO try
to stem the advance Of the germ theory.
Inc Olu-LlIIleIS no lOIlReT venture ID
doubt that germs have something to
do with 1t. but they still maintain that
one must have lowered resistance" be-
fore the germs can do their stuff. AS
the factors they assume capable OF
lowering resistance" or reducing
vitality are encountered every day and
everywhere, they simply had to invent
a theory which would serve the trade.
and so they conspired together, more or
less. and endowed every man. woman
and child with the makings-they gave
the trusty old imagination a whale Of
stretch and suggested that nearly
everybody carries in his nose or throat
a constant culture of the germs neces-
sary TO produce what they call COM
mon cold" and these unidentified germs
which cause the unidentified illness are
probably the lowest, meaneSt ornerieSt

man ever conceived. for they literally

A Sermon for Today
Nothing but Leaves.

Telling Character.

One of the questions which every
psychologist is asked again and again is
the meaning of word that has inter-
estins explanation. It is the word
correlation" Il refers TO what things
50 together We are all tremendous
y interested in a great many kinds of
correlation. We would like to be able
70 detect signs of mental ability or Of
any other accomplishment or power
that we value. If, for example. tall
people were more intelligent than short
tween height and intelligence. and if
this relation were very close one. We
could measure persons intelligence
b. measuring his height.
But every one knows that this is not
tTune. There could not be any worse
method Of selecting people for intel
Agence than doing SO according TO
size. And that gives hint as TO
why il is 50 difficult 20 find out what
things II nature. and IN human nature
particularly, so together. The hope of
doing 50 has led to ali sorts OF fanciful
Ghenles for reading character.
There Is the common notion that
blondes have one set of qualities and
b-unettes another. There is a notion
that people with a certain shape OF
chin are firm and decided. and people
with different shape Of chin ere weak
3r2 character. These are all attempts
1t correlation. But instead Of finding
proofs Of these relations the authors
Of these schemes rush TO conclusions,
II which perhaps there is a very slight
and confused bit Of relation. but not
enough 10 support any such system.
There are many elements in the flu-
man makeup that are naturally closely
correlated. There is an obvious relation
between height and weight: so that the
average weight OF a hundred tall people
would certainly be greater than Of
htlndrcd short ones. But you couldn't
predict absolutely John Smiths weight
from his height alone. nor his height
from the weight alone. because his
weight depends on many other factors

bargain and have actually invested
their awkward growing locks with a
sort of interest all their own
There arc all sorts of ways of hiding
the awkward stages If you really want
to. Hair drcssers have become quite
adept at curling under short ends and
arranging longer locks so that they
hide the shorter ones. Many women
keep their heads covered as much as
possible during the first stages of the
process and that accounts. OF course
for the immense popularity Of evening

LINCOS DEFEAT
CALEXICO TEAM
IN CLOSE GAME

In one of the snappiest baseball
games that has been played at Will
son Field all summer the Lingo team
defeated the Calexico ten by score
of 4 to last night. a ninth inning
rally netting two runs gave the
home team the edge.
1t was pitcher S battle right
from the start. The Lingos managed
to get one run across in the fourth
inning and followed up with Il sec
ond tally in the sixth. But CaleXico
registered twice in the seventh to
deadlock the game and in the
eighth they hoped into the lead.
Ashley lead Off the ninth with a
clean hit to center field. Ernell
fumbled Forshay $ ground ball and
both runners were safe. They each
advanced on wild pitch and Hen
nebcrry then crashed through with
Il neat two bagger down the third
base line that ended the contest.
Southworth pitched great ball
throughout, striking out 10 men
and allowing only one walk. Louie,
who hurled for the Calcxicans, also
pitched good ball but was hit a lit
tie more freely.

After twelve years, Philadelphia
visions another world series.

graft, corruption and crime now in
progress here has caused the Quaker

stirring battle to oyertake the New

Although the Athletics have
closed their home season, PhiladeI-

will be back here in October to

New York Giants in the world
series.
Philadelphia has not had world
series since 1915, when Pat Moran 5

pennant and met the Boston Red
Sox in the fall classic The way the

suppose they never had had world
series.

series if they can cop the American

TEAMS
WILL PLAY IN

With the Shell Oil team declared
winners of the FL Centre night base
ball league attention is now being
turned on the series of contests ar
ranged for next week when two
all-star teams picked from the cir
cult will perform for the diamond
fans.
"Pat" Patterson promises to
keep his mind off "Young Pat
long enough to pilot one of the
teams in this tusslc while Schanz Of
the Sciots will handle the other
squad.
Tentative lincups have been
selected but absence of two of the
boys picked for play and the ar
rival of some others has delayed
slightly the final picking of the
teams.
Patterson will catch for his team
and will have Cornelius and Evans
for hurting assignments. Pond is to
do the catching for the opposition
with Palmer and Eccchy on the
firing line. This much is settled at
present. klcigel and Lyons were
picked rs other catchcrs but it is
rot expected that they will be here
TO do the honors.
The two managers will definitely
decide ON the remainder Of the
teams today. In order to make sure
that every effort will be made to
balance the teams evenly the sides
will be selected first, then coin
will be tossed to determine which
side is to play with specified bat
terry, the other battery taking the
remaining team.
Each side will have three addition
al men to the regular lineup to fill
in possible vacancies.
\ collection will be taken up at
each game and will be used as Il
nucleus for Il fund to be raised for
the purpose of establishing Il per-
mancnt playing field for both day
and night ball.
The following week one all-star
team will be picked to appear in a
series of three games, meeting Cal
