When we were 6, 7 and 10

seltes2 our mother, going off
with another woman. Our
mother was one in million;
she got a job and used to sit
up half the night washing and
ironing our clothes, sewing and
mending that we might make
good appearance at school.
We never felt we were objects
of pity. She was cheerful,
never openly sorry for herself,
but always made our friends
welcome. Fathers name was
never spoken either in praise
or blame and once, when one
of us asked her about him, she
said: Don't, please, that's a
closed book" We married,
and when we could have
made her life more comfortable
for her, she died, utterly worn
out by the struggle she car
ried on so gallantly. And

DR.. Stockard has very recently
published a book, '"The Physical
Basis of Personality"
Evolution of Science
The old arts of palmistry and
physiognomy and phrenology
have been to a certain extent
revived and Incorporated in
this new science. Much of our
modern science has evolved in
this way from superstition and
magic. Alchemy was a black
art: it's object was to change
lower metals into gold; to attain
this object it's practitioners had
to expose the lower metals to
treatment with acid and to fire,
ETC., and while they never learned
how to create gold, what did
happen was that chemistry was
born. Astrology studied the
stars with the purpose of link
ing their movements with hu
man destinies; this object was
not accomplished, but during
the study astronomy as a science
came into being.
The Washington times., 1931-06-02

In one of the great medical
clinics in this country you
might, during the last five
years, behold a strange spec
tscle. Before class of medical
students a teacher is holding
a diagnostic clinic. But it is
not the usual kind of diagnostic
clinic, in which the object is
to decide from the evidence
what disease the patient being
presented has. In this clinic
the patient is not asked about
his symptoms at all. But his
bodily form, the size of his
bones, the relation between his
height and weight, are all noted
and the object Of the clinic is
frankly expressed as trying to
find out what kind of a disease
he ought to have with his
type of bodily build.
Cleaning Up the Issue
This will seem fantastic, but
an illustration may make it
clear. Three individuals, A, B,
and C, are all exposed to men
ingitis germs. None of them
have ever been so exposed be-
fore. A gets meningitis and
dies. B gets the disease and
RECEIVERS. C does not catch the
disease at all. Why? What is
present in these three different
bodies which makes them react
so differently? We usually
answer by saying immunity"
Yet what is immunity? Is it
simply a different mode of
chemical response or is it more
than that? This new school
thinks it is more and that the
structure of the body has some
thing to do with it, and that
AS body inevitably predisposed
him to die of meningitis.
This sort of study has made
great progress in the last decade.
The leaders of the movement
in Europe are DR.. Kretschmer
and DR.. Bauer. In this coun-
try they are DR.. Draper and

When a man divorces wom-

days, to greet her husband with
a merry smile, listen to his
alibis, laugh at his Jokes, mix
his cocktail, and sit around all
evening and entertain him with
bright, snappy chatter.
Now that curves are definitely
fashionable, the woman who
has been living on a wisp of
toast and a slice of pineapple
for the last few years, will prob
ably begin stuffing herself like
a Strasburgh goose until her
near-pearl necklace gets lost
among her chins.
Many a girl who pretends to
be a hard-boiled egg isn't even
a well-done omelet when it
comes to yielding to a mans
kisses, and listening to his sweet

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beechms


Answer to the Asparagus
Question
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Will you please inform me
as to whether or not it is cor
rect to eat asparagus, either
served in a salad or as hot
buttered vegetable, with the
fingers?
2. Also, is it proper to cover
boiled or mashed potatoes with
the gravy, or should the gravy
be put on the plate right next
%to the potatoes? B. M.
1. It is not correct to take
stalks of asparagus in the
fingers as we eat them. They
should be eaten with a fork,
for they are messy, indeed,
when we take them in our
fingers.
2. This is as we prefer.
No Caviar on a Bean Budget
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
In an institutional dining
room where the menu does not
cater to individual require
ments, is it proper for those not
pleased with the food to say so

dining.
A few maintain that one. is
not ill-bred when one indulges in

the food served, while others
disagree.

Such comments on the food
in an institutional dining room
are most inappropriate and i'll

of choice, and not one of obli-
cation, what you do or don't
do for such a father. It's doubt
full whether he would fit into
the home of a daughter whom
he had deserted as a child,
but the problem is up to the
sister who feels she wants him
under her roof. To make sac
rifices for such a parent seems
uncalled for. If you wish to
contribute to his support, it
would be kind and forgiving.
