Just Every Day Sense


nNE of the Souths famous beauties, now in Paris
~ for her fifth divorce, announces in the news
papers that she is through with marriage.
And that's just as well, perhaps since probably
nobody would suit her now.
woman who has had five husbands ought to
quit if only out of consideration for of the rest
of who often find it so hard to get one.
She should quit, too out of respect for matrmony,
which still, for good many people, holds Semblance
of sacrednesS Variety may be the spice of life but
its the death of marriage
Though one may have all leniency for divorce under
certain circumstances, such antics as we often wit
do not tend to augment regard for some
types of the modern woman or for the who
marrieS her
OF course, right here at home we have our Holly
wood friends, whose unions made and broken
with dizzying rapity might be supposed that the
stars surrounded they are by richness and ease
and with everything to contribute tc their content
could scratch along with fewer husbands
The reason they can not do so is plain however
Two persons each concerned with his her affairs
pampered and vastly engrossed with SELF not hope
for permanent happiness together. Unless and
woman begin with common ambition shared by both,
unless they have few difficulties to overcome, they
are not likely to stick together.
But then, the cult of the divorce often is incom-
prehensble After the first couple of husbands, you'd
think woman would be skittish of marriage. In
stead she often exhibits strange desire to repeat her
mistakes.

Older Than Hills

ONLY a few days ago we laid
" Edison to rest as one of the
worlds great benefactors. Among
hundreds of other new devices, he
gave us the incandescent lamp, the
photograph and motion picture
machine, but look what he did to
the kerosene lamp and allied in
dustries, or to the theater.
You hear it said that Edison was
the last of the great individual
gehiuses, that invention is going to
be synthetic and orderly from now
on.
1t sounds like a new thought, but
it's older than the hills, the thought
that every organized system has
voiced when it considered itself suf-
ficiently strong to prevent Interior
ence, and it always has led to dis
aster in the end.

We Waste Time

DROGREsS can not be reconciled
l. with the status quo, and never
could. There is no such thing as
making any system, or any institu-
ton safe, except through flexibility.
1t has been tried time and time
again. The only hope of govern
ment, or civilization itself, consists
in an order which makes it possible
for people and enterprises to adjust
themselves to change with the least
confusion.
Like every other generation, we
waste too much time dreaming about
ways and means to preserve the sit
uation as is, when we don't want
it to remain as it is and couldn't
keep it as it is if we did.

672 policy holders, it was found that
among those who were less than
ten pounds overweight, there was
no increase in mortality rate, but
that above that figure the mortality
rate rose steadily and alarmingly.
One American insurance company
which analysed the cause of death
Of $4,000 policy holders found that
heart disease accounted for the
deaths of 1914 per cent of those who
were overweight, compared with
only 6 per cent of the lean.
Other diseases of the circulation
caused 71s per cent of deaths in
those who were overweight, as
against 3 per cent in the lean.
Nearly twice as many people who
are overweight die of kidney dis
ease as those who are underweight.

Worlds Largest Dinosaur, 10

THE worlds largest dinosaur Just
i has been mounted in the Pea
body Museum of Natural History Of
Yale university. The skeleton Of
the huge monster is 70 feet long and
is feet high.
Scientists at the museum estimate
that in life the creature must have
weighed 81 or 40 tons. The fossil
lied bones weigh six tons.
Although this dinosaur just has
been "reassembled. its bones were
dug up more than fifty years ago
at Como Bluff, Wyo.
Wyoming and the nearby states
were. some millions of years ago,
the homes of many varieties Of
dinosaurs.
The one just mounted in the Pea
body museum is Of the type known
scientifically as a brontasaurus. The
brontosauruS was a vegetarian,
living on plants. He had four
pillar-like legs, an extremely long
neck and a long tail. The legs are
ponderous and elephantine.
The head was extremely small.
Brontosaurus ran to Drawn, not

NEW YORK. Oct. S0.-Roy j.
IN Myers of Los Angeles has in
vented an air-driven motor for au-
tomobiles. After six years of work,
he has succeeded in developing a
speed OF thirty-five miles an hour
with it and says that, with the
proper gearing, it can be made to
develop 100.
The air is forced into the mo-
tor from storage tanks, where it is
held at a pressure of $50 pounds. On
being expelled from the motor, it is
reheated and returned to the stor-
age tanks, so that only about 10
per cent actually is lost.
According to Meyers, one filling
of the storage tanks would be good
for 500 miles.

BEGINNING of Life

THE age of reptiles, known
Il technically as the mesozoic
era, when the dinosaurs thrived,
came to an end about 100000
years ago. 1t endured for the no.
100000 years preceding.
These estimates are based on the
new generally accepted estimate of
2,000,000,000 years for the age of
the earth. The first billion years
are believed to have been lifeless.
The first half of the second bill
lion was spent in going from unicel-
lular forms of life to the Sponges
and shellfsh. Another 100000
years evolved true fish and amphi-
bians. Then came the age of rep-
tiles.
The mesozoic era was a sort Of
Middle Ages" biologically, bridg-
ing the gap between the ancient
forms of life of the paleozoic and
the more modern forms of the
cenozoic.
The dominant forms of ocean life
of the paleozoic were no longer to
be found in the mesozoic. HOLSTERS
and crabs, as well as many new
varieties of corals and starfish,
made their appearance. Many new
kinds of shellfsh, including the
oysters, appeared.
On land there was a great devel-
opment among the insects. Flies,
butterflies, wasps and ants made
their appearance.
The most important development
in the world of life in this era, how-
ever, was the rise and fall of the
great reptiles. Eighteen great rep-
lillian stocks developed during the
mesozoic, the most important of
which was that of the dinosaurs. ?

Dinosaurs Covered World


TINE dinosaurs spread all over the
i world. Their fossil remains are
particularly common in North
America, Africa, China and Argen-
tina.
AS the era progressed, dinosaurs
of greater and greater size arose. -
One group of dinosaurs were
beasts of prey, feeding upon other
reptiles. They had birdlike feet
with great claws. Their front legs
were small, but their hind legs were
large and powerful. =
They ran on their hind legs some=
what after the fashion of kangarooss
The largest of this group, known as
tyronosauruS rex-that is, the king
tyrant lizard-attained length of
forty-seven feet.
Another group of dinosaurs lived
in the swamps. These were sluggish
creatures with webbed feet, duck-
billed muzzles and long, powerful
tails which they used in swimming.
The largest dinosaurs were the
sauropods, which lived on vegeta-
ton. They walked on all fours.
Their legs were short and pillar-like,
but they had very long necks.
There were also a number of
armored forms of dinosaurs, grotes-
que creatures with bony plates and
spikes on their backs. Near the
close of the mesozoic era, a type of
horned dinosaur developed. The
climax was reached in the develop
ment of a type with three horns.
the triceratops.
Two types of dinosaurs forsock the

Some of them attained a length at
fifty feet. They included the

these flying reptiles had a wing

they weighed little, having bodies
which weighed less than thirty
pounds.

as the nation prepared for Wednes-
days national elections-in which
women will not be allowed to vote.
Women of Turkey, who were en-
franchised prior to the last cleo
ton, lost their privilege because
they gave the municipal elections
a holiday atmosphere by joyrides
to the polls in automobiles provided
by Fethi Bey, leader of the oppo-
sition party.
Members of the popular party,
who control 305 of the BIT seats in
the assembly, were irritated con-
siderably.
They contended it was the pop
ular party that gave the woman
the right to 60 unveiled in public,
the right OF equality with men in
the courts, and then the privilege
of voting in municipal elections.

that the women now wait for

Blackface entertainers seem to

pretty good fashion, because when

nous boxing scene is included. The
act opens with the two on balls of
cotton. Just restin', no work being
done.
They refuse to change their
method of fu1-making and they
still hand out the laughs, although
they impressed me that they were
doing less actual work than ever.
But that is their method.

the size Of his mandolin act. He
probably is just about as good as
there is in the business.
