talk Wednesday at meeting of the
Woman's Department club
DR.. Cadman said:
I'VE have outreached the preach
er. We must make religion bud out
again in a new beauty"

needs to be rebaptised in imagina-
ton, and defined imagination as the
definite fire upon the altar of the
human spirit, the one faculty pure
ly intellectual. Imagination creates
a paradise or an inferno as we will
it," he said.
DR.. Cadman criticised modern ed
ucation because of its sameneSS and
uniformity and urged that we cult
.vate imagination. He made a plea
for belief IN Santa Claus, saying
that Santa was as real as the polit-
ical integrity Of Indiana today.

dent, presided at a business meet
ing which preceded the talk.

Shirt7UuiSt
and Skirt
Back Again
BY FRANCES PAGET
1870. By STYLE Sources

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Fashion
has harked back to shirtwaist and
skirt days. Mid-season collections
make a point of dark skirt and
lighter blouse.
A dominating theme Of afternoon
fashions is the bi-color contrast that
combines a bodice section of one
color with a skirt of another.
While many of the dresses worn
may be of one-piece construction
the idea itself is one that is espe-
cially propitious to the promotion
Of the separate blouse. Black with
white or turquoise is most seen al
smart French rendezvous.
This vogue, the light blouse ano
dark skirt, is the costume choice OF
smart Parisiennes, and is one OF
the major style notes Of the recent
French collections.
With this promotion of the dark
skirt and light bodice theme, blouses
have come in for unusual prom
inence in all collections.
TUNES in light satin, and over
blouses and lingerie tuck-ins in a
wider variety of materials than is
usual, attract much attention.
Lingerie blouses are given strong
Endorsement. Delicate pastel shades

Not Really Chinese Dish

The truth seems to be that there
is no such dish as chop suey known
in China, although it is commonly
served as Chinese throughout the
United States. This has come
about in a curious way. 1t orig
mated at a dinner that Prince Ii
Hung Chang gave in New York
when he made his trip around the
world. Prince Ii carried his own
chef, and the menu was strictly
Chinese. One of the dishes espe-
cially delighted the wife of the
guest of honor, and she asked Ii
what it was. Prince Ii called in
his chef, and the chef replied in
Chinese, sit is a creation of my
own--a chop suey." The words
"chOp suey" mean a mixture or
hash. Prince Ii said in English,
1T is a chop suey." The American
woman spread the news of the chop
suey, the wonderful dish. The
name was taken up by the Chinese
restaurants in America and today
chop suey is the chief concoction
that they serve.

Real Brain Capacity
Not Matter of Weight

Brain capacity does not in
crease with the ages, as far, at
least, as historic periods 90. Sir
Arthur Keith, conservator of the
museum of the Royal College of Sur
geons, was examining a skeleton
which had been found in digging
the foundations of a house at
Purley, Surrey, and he said:
This man was a Roman, real
Roman. His skull is quite differ
ent from the Roman-British skulls
of 1900 years ago. 1t is a splen-
did head, and just beside it we
found the skull of child that must,
in my opinion, have been the image
OF its father"
He measured it lovingly with a
pair of calipers, and made a light
ming mental calculation:
HE has more brain capacity than
| have. But what / would really
like to know is, what did he do
with it,"
The skeleton is to be sent to the
Croydon museum.-E. r. Campbell,
in the Vancouver Province.

Branding Sheep

Sheep are branded with paint
and not with hot irons as cattle
are. The fleece grows out so that
hot-iron brandings would be covered
up. Sheep must be branded every
time they are fieeced. The brand
ing of sheep is more common in the
range countries than in the farm
states, as sheep are usually kept
under fence on farms, and there is
not much need Of branding. Spe-
cial branding paint should be used
instead of just any kind of tar or
barn paint, so as to reduce TO a
minimum the trouble of securing
the wool. Manufacturers prefer
that the brand be placed on sheep
where the wool Is Of the least
value, such as on top of the rump.

King Might Have Had
f'to Tel! IL TO Judge"

An amusing story about King Ed

Pless in her memoirs, says the
Kansas City Times. One sum-
mer at COwes, Edward went ashore
from the royal yacht to play a
little bridge with the duchess of
Manchester at her residence, Egypt
house. He didn't want any fuss,
SO was accompanied by only one
equerry. Reaching shore they hired
a cab to drive to Egypt house. The
driver did not know where it was
and took them to the wrong place.
1T was quite dark and the
equerry got out and rang. A win
dow upstairs was opened and two
outraged old ladies peered out. de-
manding what all the noise was
about. The king shouted up that
he had come to play bridge with
the duchess of Manchester. The
angry ladies declared that they
knew nothing about either bridge
or duchess; that he was drunk and
If he did not go away at once they
would telephone for the policei

Canadian Metropolis

Years before adventurous white
men penetrated inland into Amer
lea, IndiIns gave the name "Toron-
to" 70 the place where trails
and water routes converge at bay
OF Lake Ontario's northern shore.
Toronto means "place of meeting
in the Indian language, and thanks
to the amazing progress of modern
transportation 1t has grown from
a tiny settlement where goods were
brought for exchange TO one of the
largest cities in Canada and a great
railway center with a population of
nearly 100000.

MANY Books on Weather

The weather bureau at Wash
ington has in the course of its ex-
istence accumulated a library of
more than 1900 books all relating
to the weather. This library is
frequently resorted to for the pur-
pose of answering the thousands of
questions which are constantly be-
ing received. The department en-
deavors to answer all such inquir-
les but sometimes finds itself
stumped, for it appears that there
is a great deal that is not known
about the weather.
Smyrna times., 1930-07-16
Weather Changes

The weather bureau says that
day-t0-day changes in the weather
one cold, next warm, then per-
haps cold again-are mainly due to
changes in the direction of the
wind, and that in turn to changes
in the distribution of air over the
surface of the earth. The causes
operating and their effects are rath-
er complicated, but 90 back mainly
to circulation between the equa-
torial and polar regions (caused by
the heating of the tropical regions
and rhe cooling of the polar re
gions) as modified by the effects Of
the daily rotation of the earth.

Smartest Class

According to DR.. Edward f.

business men third. Actors, physi-

lowest, excluding the large class OF

the hypothesis that intelligence is

Early Magazines"

While our Colonial ancestors had
no sensational newspapers and mag
azines to entertain them with tales
of adventure and misadventure, In
many of the small printing shops
of the colonies there were printed
books and pamphlets containing the

the hangings Of criminals, the
struggles Of the righteous with evil,
the conversion of the evil to re.

opposite sex, the dangers Of drink,

Ieft-Handedness

After a close study of several
sets Of identical twins, two eastern
scientists have observed that there
is an apparent relation between the
tendency of left-handedness and the
direction in which whOrls in the
hair curve, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine.
In every case where it was pos
sible to determine whether the hair
on the crown of the head grows in
a r5ght-handed, or clockwise, spiral
1t was discovered that the person
had more or less strongly devel-
oped tendency TO right-handedness.
If the whOrl was curved TO the left,
the person was left-handed.
