they don warn him for HIS sake but simply make noise
because they are frightened
Half the time he doesn't know enough to take warning re-

he knew enough to be warned he wouldn't be dying out
But he is dying out.
In all the world according to British authorities there are
only about 100 Of these white rhinoceroses left alive.
They are rare geological gardens and won't be there at

On the other hand if you look at human head, you will
see that ALL the intelligence is above the ears.
This rnoceros only knows enough to hate what he doesn't

That's why he is vanishing.
That's why many human beings don't get along.

LISTEN WORLD!
All WOuen Together
By Elsie Robinson

They find fulfillment through
their blending and their mingling
with all other lives.
I'VE ARE ALL WOVEN To-
GETHER IN THE GREAT WEB
OF HUMANITY"
Lives are made richer when
they mix their color with other
lives.
Lives are made stronger when
they share and borrow strength.
And all experience widens when
we comprehend that truth.
AS children we see lives as
single threads. We only see our
own small thread of green OIL red
or blue. But when we're older
we must see the other strands If
we would grasp life's vast sig
nificance or find refuge from
its awful pain.
YOU CANNOT KNOW THE
DIGNITY OF LIFE UNTIL YOU
SEE IT AS ONE ENDLESS,
MOVING WEB, AND FEEL
THAT YOU, TOO, HAVE A
PLACE WITHIN THAT WEB.
YOU CANNOT STAND THE
AGONY OF LIFE UNTIL YOU
FEEL THOSE SoMB r E
STRANDS OF BLACK ARE
JUST AS TRULY A PART OF
BEAUTY AS THE GOLD OF
JOY. <~
NOR CAN YOU FACE LIES
GNAWING LONELINESS, UN.
LESS YOU SENSE THAT YOU
ARE NOT ALONE. BUT
MESHED WITH MILLIONS IN
ONE MIGHTY PLAN.
If you will give up your small
dream of self, and grasp that
vision of the woven whole. all
life will change for you from
that day on. Nothing will ever
seem so hopeless or so cruel. For
you will see beyond your one,
fraiI strand and catch vision
of your place within the web.
And through that vision there will
come new pride, new tolerance
and wisdom, and new fury toNen-
dure.

pletely surrounded by hills, and
stretching from the mountains to
the sea, the city first impresses
with its immensely. And it truly
is a large city. Its population is
close to a million and quarter,
and with the European type of
construction-chiefly houses of but
single story-it spreads out over
an area larger, perhaps, than any
city in America.
Barcelona combines in pleasing
synthesis glorious relics of a noble
past and abundant evidence of a
thoroughly modern present. 1t

subway systems in Europe, and its
streets are coursed by hundreds of
London buses and American

COMEoNE has sent me this beau.
~ tiful line: 1--WE ARE ALL
WOVEN TOGETHER IN THE
GREAT WEB OF HUMANITY"
Beside me, on my table, is an old
piece of tapestry.
1t has the mellow beauty Of the
forest floor in fall.
There lie the ashes of a thousand
rudy hours-copper and scarlet,
lavender and rose. leaf green and
coral, azure, amethyst.
Color like perfume.
Color like a song, a haunting
song that echoes in the soul.
You lift the fabric, wondering
how such magic could be wrought
with common wool And then you
see it Is not beautiful because one
thread Is red, or one thread orange,
blue or green or gold.
BUT THAT RICH BEAUTY
RISES FROM THE MINGLING
OF THE THREADS.
The red seems redder because
other threads are green.
The blues are bIuer because they
lie next the gold.
And all the glowing threads are
woven in with threads of brown or
Sray-dull, sturdy threads that
hold the weave in place.
The richly colored threads would
he quite useless without that re-
straining warp of gray.
The warp would lack all beauty
II deprived of that bright wool.
II THE BEAUTY AND THE
STRENGTH OF THE WHOLE
PIECE DEPENDS UPON THE
BLENDING OF THE THREADS.
IND THE MINGLING.
Without that blending and that
mingling they would be just
threads.
Each single thread would have
a little color or a little strength,
but they would pass as quickly as
the dust along. the wind. But,
mingled so, they last on through
the years and spread their beauty,
like perfume or a song.
Our lives are like that piece Of
tapestry.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

-
One OF the most curious of all
the defective mental states that
may exist is that known as Mon
golism.
The reason for the name Is the
characteristic Monaghan appear
ance of the patients features,
the eyes slanting somewhat down
wards and inwards and looking
almond-shaped, az in the Chinese.
Monaghan children may appear
in the best Of families; that is, in
families where the parents are
normal and where brothers and
sisters are absolutely free from
mental defect, That is why the
Mongolians are sometimes re-
ferred to as the "aristocrats Of
the feeble-minded."
The skull of Monaghan children
Is round and small. In fact,
they have rather a nlcely.shaped
head.
The ears also are small and
well.formed and lie close to the
head.
The nose IL stubby and some
what turned upward. In well.
marked cases the nostrils are tri-
angular in shape.
The tongue often shows ridges
and assures. AdenoidS are very
common.
The skin Is dry and scaly.
Hands and feet are broad and
clumsy. The fingers are short
as we'll as the toes, aud often
there is a decided incurving Of
the little fingers
A common sign fs 4 kind of
"double-jointednessP;; that is, an
increased flexibility and mobility
of all the joints.
Mopgolian children may follow
normal ones or be followed by
normal ones in the order of
birth. Often the parents are In
tellectually above the average.
The disposition of Mongolians
is goodnatured and eyen-tempered
as a rule, interspersed with
periods of stubbornness.
They are very affectionate and
loving and they delight in making
faces and assuming comical pos
lures.
The sense OF rhythm Of these
children is often remarkable.
Therefore they can readily be
taught simple dances. They like
to hear music and often they try
to sing.
The mentality OF Mongolians is
usually that which is designated
imbecile. In other words, even
in adolescents the level of in
telligence is that of about a or
7.year-old.
There are cases, however, where
the mentality is much lower.
There are likewise cases where
it Is much higher. Sometimes the
degree Of defect from the normal
is difficult to detect.
The average Monaghan can be
taught simple reading and some
writing.
The high types OF defect can
be made selft-supporting under.
supervision.
The cause of Mongolisnn is still
rather mystery.
A condition of exhaustion within
the womb may be responsible. but
exactly how this operates to ar.
rest the mental and probably the
physical development OF the I'M
born child Is not altogether clear.
The glands iof internal secretion
are being used a great deal for
the improvement of this condition.
It IL believed by many that
some deficiency in secretion of
the pituitary gland in the brain
Is the real causative factor.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
-By Helen Rowland


r AM beginning to feel strongly
i in favor OF increasing the
Army and Navy.
No, am not a miIitarist or q
Prussian. or anything like that.
But what this country needs is
more decorative men! More pic
turesque men!
More men who have the leisure
and the inclination to practice
gallantry and cultivate beautiful
manners. More men who take the
time to read something besides
the stock reports and the sport
ing pages. More men who know
how to talk to women about some
thing besides dollars and deals"
and niblicks and motor cars. More
men who know how to pay grace
full compliments and make love
and take the trouble to do it!
The Human Machine, who gulps
his bacon and eggs like a dose OF
medicine, catches the 1880 for the
city every morning, and the 5:15
for the suburbs every evening.
and goes o\sleep over his news.
paper after dinner, may be all
satisfying as husband, but he Is
NOT decorative.
A coffee,scented peck on the
cheek-a kiss on-the-fly, between
the hall hatrack and the front
doorway be, a perfectly good
husbandly kiss, but it does NOT
fulfill all the emotional warnings
of a woman's heart.
A man who chases dollars. all
week, plays poker all Saturday
night, and golf all Sunday after
noon, may be a good proVider and
a business genius. But as a lover,
he is just a dose of absent treat
ment.
Women are getting awfully tired
Of being just a sidedish in a busy
mans life. They are weary OF
taking all their thrills Yicariously
at the movies. They are bored to
tears with clumsy caveman love-
making and vaudeville wit and
humor.
What this world needs is more
decorative men. Men with polish.
Men who read poetry and can
quote the philosophers. Men who
are dashing and picturesque. Men
who know a CorOt from q carrot,
and fungus from fuchsia, and
can differentiate between a mu-
steal instrument and a saxophone.
Women's clubs, gigolos. bridge
and Pomeranians, will never take
the place of romance and real
companionship in a woman,s life.
What the bored and restless
modern woman should do is to stop
driving her husband on to make
more MONEY, and begin enccur-
aging him to cultivate his charms,
his talents and what is left OF his
mind.
She should sell her pearls and
sables and buy hyacinths to feed
her SOUL.
Take your nice, plain, useful
old husband out. and put little
passementerie on his manners. a
few rosettes on his conversation,
and give him q dash Of swank.
Make him less q mere erticls Of
utility and more Z thing of beauty.
