What About Phrenology

Inasmuch as letters have recently
come to me inquiring why I do not
write something on phrenology, I have
decided to state my reasons in this
place.
Phrenology was a fairly reputable sort
of science Co about the time these
United States were getting under way
as a Nation. 1t was in 1895 that a
German physician, Franz Gall, an
some wonderful discoveries. He put
them all together and called them
chronology" Something like it had
appeared aS early as 1862. In the early
days lot of men became great because
they dreamed foolish notions.
Phrenology is, of course, as we see 1t
today, anything but science. AS a flc-
ton of the Imagination it stands with
other errors.
BY way of definition we shall say that
phrenology is a system of philosophy,
although 1t doesn't really deserve that
rating. It is based on the theory that
the bumps on ones head indicate GER
tain intellectual and temperamental
traits.
Now the plain fact is that nothing
of the kind can possibly be true. And
why?
Even If the brain structures them
selves could be proved to be specifically
the locations of certain psychological
traits, there would be still greater
handicap to overcome, in order to sub
stantiate the claims of phrenology.
How can the relatively soft tissue OF
the brain make an impression OH the
bones of the skull?
If you can explain that handicap,
you might get scientific men to take an
interest in the subject.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November %
(N.AN.A).-If you are among those
who complain that acting in the true
sense of the word is not found on the
screen, Paul MUM may bring your illu-
sions back.
I have Said plenty about screen art
lists and their apparent lack of effort.
They are just themselves, are routined
to the type of thing they easily do and
pictures are monotonized as a result.
/ saw a preview of this young actor
MUM in a film which reveals him in
seven NcharacteriZationS. The most
splendid of these-an old Frenchman,
Papa Chibou-goeS into the gallery of
famous screen characteriZations; at the
very top. The other characters por-
trayed are Joe Cans, costermonger; Don
Juan Diablero, a hypnotist; Franz
Schubert and Napoleon Bonaparte.
So true is the art behind these char
acterizations that it is difficult to be-
lieve them the work of one mana
very young man, at that. He is child
of the theater. He has been playing
character roles and old mems parts
since he was youth, and no work is
too terrible, too intricate of detail, to
daunt him.
Each morning when the exigencies of
the story threw him into the part of

LOIS LEEDS.
Scanty Hair and COIOrs.
Dear Miss Leeds-I have had very
poor health for several years and my
hair has turned white, although I am
only 49 years old. do not mind its
color, but my hair is getting very
scanty and dry. CD I have gray-blue
eyes and a medium complexion. What
colors are becoming for my type?
MRS. FLORENCE Y.
Answer-The first thing to do is to
build up your weight and health to
normal. Choose wise diet, eat light,
nourishing foods, including fruit and
vegetables daily. Cultivate mental and
physical poise and have an interesting
hobby out of doors that will keep you
from worrying about your poor health.
Have sufficient sleep and rest each
night. Shampoo your hair twice a
month with white of egg and white
CASTLE soap shaved and melted into a
jelly. Rinse your hair thoroughly. Add
a few drops of bluing to your last rims
ing water and dry between warm towels.
Before the shampoo, warm little olive
oil and white mineral oil and apply 1t
to your scalp and leave on for half
an hour or more. Steam the oil in the
scalp, using a Turkish towel wrung
out in hot water. Repeat the hot ap-
plications Several times. Massage your
scalp and brush your hair every night
and morning. Use scalp food about
twice a week. The following will be
helpful: Two ounces castor oil; two
ounces petrolatum; one ounce Sperma-
ceti; one ounce cologne water; one
dram oil of bergamot; one dram oil
of lavender. Melt the Spermaceti, atsd
the castor oil and petroleum. and mix
well. Then add the cologne water
gradually in which the oil of lavender
and bergamot have been previously
dissolved. Place in a jar and cover
when cold. To apply the scalp food,
divide the hair into a number of small
strands and apply little with the tips
of the fingers to your scalp evenly,
then massage for several minutes. ~
Your best colors are soft pinks, old
rose, lavender, white, dark and medium
blue, wine shades, Burgundy, turquoise
and plum color LOIS LEEDS.

Walk with your head up, chin up, chest
expanded and your abdomen in. Do
not walk stiffiy, however, but cultivate
free, easy, swinging stride from the
hips, and your walks will be splendid

two or three times week. If you swim

Swimming is a splendid exercise for the

80 There are several things which
might cause the feeling of perpetual
WEAKNESS. One is lack of active out
door exercise and poorly ventilated
rooms. Do you eat wisely? Include
plenty of fresh vegetables and raw
fruit in your daily diet. Drink 6 to 10
glassfuls of water between each meal.
Avoid constipation.
If the tired feeling continues and
you know no reason for it I would
advise you to see your physician. 1t

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Course of True Love.

One of the sad things about love
is that the truer it is the rougher the
path 1t follows and the sea it sails.
The course of true love, whether on
sea or land. is one which doesn't run
smooth. Maybe this is a good thing,
since it tests the truth and reality Of
love.
The one kid who gets his pumps
in this old world Is Cupid. He is
dressed with only a little scarf about
his waist and carries only toy bow
and arrow when he ought to be rugged
out with foot ball players suit, a
base ball players mask and a sawed
off shotgun. Cupid is an easy mark
for those who want to take a crack at
him.
Our relatives often try to break up
the Romeo and Juliet combination.
Our envious friends hang around. say
mean things and make the life of the
love pod just so much misery The
course that Cupid follows when he
steers the car is like the rocky road to
Dublin.
But this outside opposition or rough
ness of the road is not the only thing
our own engine trouble. Our hearts
get canbankerous and STALL ON us.
There's as much rough stuff on the
inside of the love car as there is
humping under the wheels.
Love has the effect of arousing all
our emotions so that we become over
sensitive, unduly suspicious and terribly
touchy. We imagine that something
is wrong and that love is flattening
out when the boy friend Is bit quiet
which may be because he has a
headache.
We are keyed up so that we are
looking for happiness all the time,
and these high-gear hearts of ours
are thus made sensitive to pain. We
want joy, but we keep looking for trou-
BILE. We want to sail along on cloud
of romance, but instead we rumble
along on q rough road.

AUTUMN
BIZ D. C. PEATTR.

Every year in cities all over the
country chrysanthemum shows are
held, all more or less gorgeous, and
with each succeeding year one is aston
iShed to see the numbers of new crea-
lures of fashion that Skillful breeders
have put out.
Sometimes suspect old wine in new
bottles, and old varieties rechristened
in honor of wives of gentlemen whom
it is profitable to f1atter. But even SO,
the chrysanthemum continues to hold
its sway as the most variable flower in
the world. The most dissimilar roses
in the world are alike as two peas COM
pared with a casual iuxtapoSition Of
two chrysanthemums. Such tousled
heads, such fascinating bi-colored
petals; such changing shapes, from the
dainty little anemones to the fantastic
japanese varieties, from the old fash
Toned, formal ball of gold, which a, few
years ago was considered the only
proper form for a chrysanthemum,
down to the hardy outdoor singles burn
ing in russell and gold and bronze,
purple, orange, white and pink.
While it is true that garden chryS-
anthemums are not all of one species,
but are complex hybrids and hence
naturally variable, the same is true Of
garden iris, garden roses, garden sweet
peas, verbenas, rhododendrons and
numberleSs other well-loved flowers,
whose strains the plantsman has taken
in hand. Pure races" are poor races
in the world of flowers. Hybrids and
out-breeding make for strength and

often think we do not yet properly
appreciate the single chrySanthemum,
a flower that to me is far more graceful
and lovely than the stiff, artificial, dou-
BILE species, far less pretentious and
gaudy and preposterous. The single
chrysanthemum, not too finicky to grow
out of DOORS not sterile, not top-heavy,
having a form recognizable as one of
Gods flowers, is much more to my
taste. But florists complain they can
not sell them, for the taste of the man

Modern Fitted Furniture
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Fitted furniture is one of the de-
velopments of modern trends that is
admirable. The furniture need not lose
its attractiveness and it has the added
value of making the most of thesspace
it occupies. Today, in small apartments,
such salvage of rooming space is dis
tinctly advantageous. Apart from the
practical element in this furniture, the
ingenuity it expresses is intriguing.
One bedstead stresses this ingenuity
in way to attract every one who. de-
