 eeta. the Health Maeaxine

Because of the increasing im- portance of mental health to the proper functioning of industry. the Illinois Soceity for Mental Hygiene recently held a conference on this subject.
 One of the great problems of modern life is 10 fit the worker to an occupation which will yield him sufficient mental satisfa ction so that he may have a relative amount Of happiness.
 Dr. Ralph Hammil emphasized two special types in this connection: 1-The young man who is babied st home. fails at college and resigns from any position he gets because he feelr that he Is not appreciated: i: 2-The girl who is employed in an office in which her associations are with higher type of man than cc- CUTS in her family or social ac quaintsnces,
 The girl soon becomes dissatisfied with her own sociaI life. The social workers in such cases endeavor to

However. we carefully kept our eyes averted from each other and fixed on the young people who were laughing at the remem- brance of the ludicrous figure they had seen. But while Prince Georges mirth was whole hearted. l fancied that Mary's was bit forced.
 T never saw anything more amusing" Prince Georges said. She would have put life into any mori- bund cinema, if she could have ap- peared just as we saw her. She either inherited her clothes from some remote ancestor or got them from . costumer. Her hat was big ger than the wheel of my car. while her coat and gown almost dragged on the ground. And the way she walked-well, just imagine woman trying to initiate Chaplin's shuffle and not succeeding very well,'

For the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness is start ing . nationwide campaign of education to safetuard the eyes of children who will enter kinder eartep and primary grades . year or so hence.
 The three legged animals arc really the letter "E." Through use Of the Symbol E Chart. games have been worked out for tiny children which actually test their vision. Children as young as thTse years can play them.
 Alternate Sizes Big. medium sized and smalL the Els" used seem like three legged animals to the imaginative little child. The nurse poses them this way and that. alternating the position of the various sizes.
 Johnny likes to tell if little ,, "E" has all his paws on the floor. or it great. big ''E" is lying on his back with his three paws in the air, If Johnny can't see the tini- est "E." then nurse knows hie vision is deficient.

 'N faulty vision is found. irn- mediate steps can be taken to cor rect it. Even when correction Of . defect is accomplished readily. its discovery is important.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct so.-Fare. we'll ye tlapper!
 Come hither ye old-fashioned girls.
 Such has become the slogan of Los Angeles, known the world over as the capital of flapperdom- largely because it also is the center of the film industry.
 Contrary to the prevailing be- lief that fappers have become the generally accepted thing, We have found that there is more sentiment against them than ever before" de- clares Ned Marr, director of the alumni bureau of occupations at the University of California. Los An geles.
 "Our records show that the sweet young thing who spends much of her time with paint. powder and rouge and is over conscious of her appearance is not in demand" con- tinued Marr. She stands . poor show alongside of her palmer sister whose education. practical appltca- ton and skill in training make her valuable in business.
 Don't Want Flapers
 "A large number of the persons who call us for girls to do part time work specify that they do not want any happers. Many of the positions we secure for co-eds are in private homes, doing housework. taking care of children or as com panions for older people. In nearly every instance those asking for girls to do this kind of work specify that they must be sensible. dependable. home-loving girls who do not 60 out much and do not spend three fourths of their time before . mirror.
 Even men who want girls in offices shun the flapper type. They do not consider them the equal of palmer girls from the standpoint of ability or poise. Particularly If a girl is to be in a reception room she must have personality and poise that most employers don't seem to find in . happer.
 From my own experience in this bureau. think that the pretty stenographer idea is vastly over worked. find that most men much prefer the plainer girl who is efficient and doesn't spend . great part Of her time thinking of dates "All Flappers Aren't Pretty" Marr. as head of the alumni em ployment bureau at the university supervises tho filling of about 2,5ot jobs every year. Most of them are odd jobs lasting only day or two Bue between 400 and 800 of then are permanent part time positions The majority of calls for girls are for housework. companions for chii, dren or old folk. office work. wait. ing on tables in tea rooms and piano accompanies.
 T don't mean that there is n, demand for pretty girls" he ex plains. There is . vast difference between . pretty girl and happer In fact. a, happer very often ism pretty. My idea of a happer is a girl who is highty. has very little roise. is forward and to some ex. tent rattle -brained.
 About the only calls we get fol the happer type girl is from adver. tising agencies who want to use them for newspaper pictures The, nearly always ask for the happer, because they figure they will attract attention quicker than the more conservative girl even though the latter may be far more beautiful"

Unlike his cousin, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, Chatterer the Red Squirrel was not worried by the fail ure of the beechnut crop and of the acorn crop. He was disa ppointed, for he likes beechnuts, but he was not worried. Chatterer's storehouse would not be empty, even though he could not find single beechnut or single acorn. When he was sure that 1t would require more work than they were worth to get some of the few beechnuts every one was looking for. Chatterer slip ped away by himself. He went straight over to certain pine tree.
 "Beechnuts are all right" said Chatterer. but if I can have plenty of pine seeds and spurce seeds some one else can have the nuts. It's a good thing that like these seeds and know how to get them. They must be about ready now to be cut
 Chatterer ran up the tree and out on one of the upper branches where . number of cones hung. Those cones were still tightly closed. They were not yet ripe enough 10 open. This suited Chatterer He cut off every one of the cones on that par ticular branch, and he chuckled as he watched them fall to the ground. Then he went to another branch and did the same thing. Not single one of those cones opened, 50 not . eeed was to be seen. Tank Tank the nuthatch watched Chatterer from neighboring tree. Finally his curiosity got the better of him,
 Excuse me. Chatterer," said he, ''but why don't you wait until those cones are ripe and open. so that the seeds will drop out"
 Chatterer stopped work long enough to look over at Tank Yanls and. in his turn. asked q question: Did you ever watch the seeds drop out of an open cone?" he inquired.
 Tank Tank nodded. "Of course I have" said he.
 Did they drop straight doHn?' Chatterer asked
 Tank Tank thought for q moment Then he shook his head. No said he, T don't believe they did. They went spinning around and sort of floating came down some distance away. especially if the wind were blowing"
 "Right!' cried Chatterer. Now if ! waited for the seeds to drop out of the cones I would have pretty hunt for them, wouldn't ? As Ii is. I am cutting off the cones They'll all drop right beneath this tree. Then l can take my time opening them and I'll have all the seeds right there. l am just using little common sense, Yank S5nk. that's all
 With this Chatterer ran out on another branch and went 10 work on the cones on that. Those sharr teeth of his cu' them off easily Chatterer is q worker when he wants to work No one can ever call him lazy. Looking across from the top of that pine tree he saw I fir tree with heavy crop of small cones. Aha" said Chatterer 10 him. self. well have little variety this winter. When I have cut off al these pine cones I'll go cut some oi those fir cones'
 Now, while his cousin, Happ5 Jack the Gray Squirrel, and lis other cousin.

i'm sorry for those fellows" said he. thinking of his cousins. They'll have to hustle or starve this winter. It is too bad that they haven't learn ed how to harvest pine seeds. but 1t is just as well. perhaps. so far as am concerned. If they should find one of my storehouses they would eat these seeds fast enough. but they won't take the trouble to harvest house. No, sir. they won't find my storehouse.''
