important thing about this one is the
little pocket-big for a pocket-to hold
some sort Of plaything
The apron can be devised as paint

BILE purpose of keeping the frock be-
meath it clean and holding the painting
equipment. The pocket may be square
or oblong and it may be stitched into
several compartments - one for the
paint box, another for pencils and
brushes.
Or it can be an apron devised for the
small sculptor. That waxy kind Of
modelling clay that children love to
work with can be packed, in its box,
into the pocket; and the little knives o.
spatulas they work it with can be put
in it. too.

A year later Prentiss Gilbert finds
himself in a position OF world proml-

It was Gilbert whom this Government
selected to sit in on the Leagues dis

the proposal that an American assume
such a position that brought such

Expansiveness.
(CopyriRht. 1917

One of the marvels among men is
the fact that those who really amount
to something are interested in every
thing, human beings included. They
amount to something because they are
able to expand and take in more than
an ordinary amount of the external
world.
A common disillusion is that Of find
ing hard-boiled scientist who under
the surface betrays a friendliness for
every one. Such men also show an in
terest in what might appear to be
trif1ing matters.
There is also an element Of playful
ness among those who are noted for
their achievements. Those who have
never learned to play have hard time
sizing UP their friends and acquain-
tances. A good way to read another Is
to take him to the tennis court or the
golf course. Perhaps the best way of
all is to engage him in game Of poker.
In other words, the length and breadth
of personality or temperament are best
discovered during contest.
You may put it down as sort of psy-
Geological law that ones real PERSONAL
ity is disclosed only under pressure. One
begins to lock about when the going
is difficult. Every new attempt to solve
a problem means a disclosure Of some
hidden character trait.

THEIR FEET INTO THE EARTH.
Of to one side stood Mrs. Bugler, her
usually soft eyes agleam with excite
ment She knew what was about to
happen. She knew that in that clear
sp1ce a great battle was about to be
fought, and that she was the cause of
it. She knew that whichever won would
claim her as his own, and she would be
ready to go with him, for strength and
courage we're the way TO her heart.
To Farmer Browns Boy, hidden
where he could watch all that went on,
there was no apparent difference in
the appearance Of the two fighters. The
one who had answered the challenge of
Bugler appeared to be Just as big, just
as strong and to be armed with equally
great antlerS. That he had just as
much courage was proven by the fact
that he had not hesitated to answer
the challenge that Bugler had bugled
so boldly. He had not had to come. He
had not had to even let it be known
that he was on that mountainside. He
had come because he was unafraid,
eager to prove that he, not Bugler, was
the real lord Of the mountain.
The hair along the neck of each was
on end. Each paved the ground for
moment Then with heads thrust for
ward. eyes blazing, blowing defiance,
they advanced. Suddenly their heads
were lowered and they plunged forward
great antlers meeting equally great ant
lers with a crash that resounoed
through the woods. Head to head with
antlerS seemingly locked they dug their
feet IN the earth and each tried to force
the other back, at the same time with
mighty swings of the head trying to
throw the other of balance. Both went
to their knees, and there continued to
push and twist, snorting, their eyes red
with rage.
The muscles stood out as they strain
ed and pushed. and they drew their
breath in whistling gasps. At last they
had to stop for breath. The antlers
were not locked after all, for they came
free. Then the two backed away from
each other for a short distance. Re-

plunged forward, hoping to catch the

was an experienced old fighter. The

When Manners

BY Mrs. Cornelius Beekman
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My friend, who is a much
younger girl, and I had a little
talk on this one subject. She
said a young man friend told
her that when entering a res
taurant the lady always sat fac.
ing a door or the door. I said
that a lady always enters first
and is seated by the waiter or
head waiter and was supposed
to sit where he suggested, un-
less he asked her preference.
That in nice hotels the dining
rooms were so arranged that it
would be impossible to obey the
rule and face the door, and
that a rule should apply to all
places if it was to be considered
good manners. Please. who is
correct? P.
There isn't any rule about
the seat that a woman takes
when she enters a restaurant.
She simply takes the one that
she prefers. If there is an en-
tertainment in the restaurant,
she would be given the seat fac
ing this. If there is a serving
table near. she would be given
the seat fartheSt from this. II
there is a passage where wait.
ers pass frequently. she would
be given the seat farthest from
this.
If the head waiter pulls out
a chair, as he designateS the
table assigned them, the woman
may or may not take this chair

AS a matter of fact, this seat

Gated as it sounds. for usually

Your Health
And Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

10y AUS01l N1CAAuCAtAAlSS WAS LIZ
When the large life insur-
ance companies become suffici-
emily alarmed over the death
rate of some disease to make a
public protest, the least that
can : said is that the danger
is real, and in the opinion of
these most interested from a
financial viewpoint, it can be
remedied.
Lcu.> appendicitis is the lat
est subject of the insurance
companies attention. Eighteen
thousand to 10000 people in the
United States die everv year
from this disease.
"The American public is en-
titled to an explanation of the
: Extraordinary advance in ap-
pendicitis death rats. If there
Is lack of surgical skill, the mat
ter imperatively demands con-
sideration, for it goes without
saying that most of the deaths
follow operations" So says the
port from the insurance Com-
panies.
High Death Rate
There are two reasons for the
high death rate in acute ap-
penticitis. In tho Est place,
appendicitis is an exceedingly
dangerous and treacherous dis
ease. The attitude that the med
ical profession held about it in
the easily days of modern sur
gerry, 40 years ago-an attitude
that could be summed up as,
"We've got this thing licked
now; all you have to C. is to
take the appendix out; the 4is-
ease need not be feared any
more"-has given way in most
quarters to one of wholesome
respect; to deal with it is not
simple, but requires very good
judgment. AS the report en-
phasizes, most of the deaths
follow operations.
The second reason for the
many, deaths in appendicitis is
the ingrained habit of people to
dose themselves for the belly
ache. Everybody knows what to
do for cramps-take some salts.
The fact that the use Of a Ca
thartic is one of the most dan
gerouS forms of treatment in
the presence of an acute pain
in the abdomen has never been
learned by these "everyones."
If appendicitis is present the
cathartic simply stirs things up,
ruptures the appendix and
spreads puS over the peritoneum.
BlameS Druggists
Druggists who treat people
who wander into the drug store
are badly to blame on this
count. I have heard of only one
druggist who gave such a pa
tient paregoric: all the remain
der gave them salts or castor oil.
They might almost as well have
given them arsenic or strych-
nine.

Never Too Young To Be Polite
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am just a schoolgirl IA years
of age. Do you think that it is
all right for me to be polite and
friendly with the boys I associ-
ate with in school. OF course,
I dom. mean to have dates or
go out with. them but just be
nice when they are nice to me.
SCHOOLGIRL.
One is never too young, my
dear child, to be polite and
friendly with people and I
should certainly never think OF
being high-hat with school
mates, whether they are boys or
girls. It would be very nice, in
deed, if you youngsters could
get together for a party during
Christmas week. Good luck to
you.
Inquire About Smoking
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
We are three girls Of IA sum-
merS, and we would like to
ask your advice. The crowd
we go with is not tough. but
most of the girls smoke often.
Older people have told us it
would affect our height, intel
ligence and health. Please let
us know if this is true.
THREE OF US.
According to physiological
knowledge, the effects of to-
bacco on young people under
25 years of age are generally
bad. You will, no doubt, study
about this in school very
shortly. And besides, it isn't
considered good taste for a
girl Of fourteen to smoke.
