Science Finds That Aches in Bones
Are Not True Index to the Weather

Science has cast serious doubt on
the old belief that persons can fore
cast the weather by the aches in
their bones.
The popular theory that pains are
associated with certain kinds of
weather is disputed, by DR.. w. p.
E1hardt of the department of physi-
ology at the University of Illinois.
DIR. Elhardt collected data for a
six-month period and set it down on
one long graph chart, chronological
ly arranged.
And across this long, correlated
chart of meteorological conditions
DR.. Elhardt plotted a record Of pain.
The pain records, finally trans
ferred to the chart, were kept by a
veteran severely wounded in the
World war, who, until he was shown
the result of the experiment, be-
ieved he could feel bad weather
coming by a recurrence Of pain.
The soldier had suffered gunshot
wound in his hand; another in his
shoulder. He had lost little and
a ring finger of one hand, and nu-
merous other injuries.
His pain, after the war, struck him
at all-too-frequent, irregular inter-
walls. He blamed the weather. From

The girls voice trailed off, her

''What would ha' happened to a

as the water below them was in
the answer. ''She amt respectable

ORESSES that not only satisfy
- your present craving for
something new and spring-like,
but also look ahead to later sea-
son, too. Make them yourself at
home, for very much less than
you usually spend on clothes.
You'll find it very easy to do,
with the sew chart that accompa-
MES each pattern.
Corselette Waistline.
If you have a slim figure, this is
the afternoon dress for you! The
fullness over the bust, the sleeves
cut in one with the shoulders, and
the lifted waistline, are just as
fattering as they can be! It's the
kind Of dress you can wear to
bridges, luncheons, meetings, and
for every afternoon occasion, with
the assurance that it is not only
smart but becoming.
Slenderizing House Frock.
Especially designed for full fig-
ures, this house frock follows
straight, tailored lines, and fits
beautifully. You can get into it
In nothing fiat, and it doesn't take
long to make either, thanks to the
complete and detailed sew chart
that comes with your pattern.
Make it up in a pretty, small
figured printed percale, and trim
it with rows of old-fashioned rick
rack.
A Frilly Home Cotton.
This is perfectly charming,
made up in dotted Swiss, wolfe or
dimity, in some f1ower-like color
like delicate blue or pink or SUM-
shiny, clear yellow, with sheer
white collar and cuffs. It's ideal
for slim figures. Nice to wear
around the house now, and per-
feet to wear anywhere, later on,
during summer afternoons.

DR.. Elhardt's data, however, it was
shown that changes in the weather
were not the cause of the recur-
renee.
During six months Of observation
the pain struck the veteran thirty
nine times on q decrease of tenn
perature; but there were 172 drops
in temperature during that period,
SO the correlation was only 22.7 per
cent. Furthermore, the temper
ature ranged from 10 degrees to
SO degrees, while the pain occurred
only between the ranges of % and
90 degrees.
The correlation between pain and
increase in humidity (Which oc-
CURED ITO times) was only 22.4 per
cent; between pain and decrease in
humidity, only per cent.

CHAPTER Nv

It seemed to Nora that things did
60 better for time. Don appeared
less tired. He even accompanied
her to one or two informal parties
with some show of enthusiasm; and
was, according to their hostess, "a
perfect life-saver" at a dinner given
in honor of renowned explorer,
recently returned from the Arctic.
"The affair would have been a
complete washout if your young
man hadn't been here, Nora" she
said with gratitude. ''No one else
present could talk intelligently with
our lion on the subjects nearest his
heart, you know"
That evening was something of a
triumph to the girl. AS she watched
her lover conversing so easily and
naturally with the guest Of honor,
comparing experiences, putting
questions, answering others which
the great man put to him, her eyes
shone with happy pride. Even Ned,
sitting across the table, was obvi-
ously impressed though he essayed
to hide the fact. And Corinne, OBJ
serving that others appeared to be
listening with interest to "that queer
boy Nora has taken up with" lis
tened herself, and wondered if her
ears deceived her when she heard
the distinguished guest invite Don
to dine with him next night.
''And can you tell me-" she asked
Ned petulantly as they rode toward
home, what a man like that can
have in common with Don Mason?"
Indeed, she had to repeat the ques-
ton before her husband, who was
deep in thought, reused himself to
reply:
Possibly he wants to book him
for his next expedition"
Corinne frightened.
81 wish to goodness he would!
Don could never resist such an op-
portunity; and an absence of that
sort would settle Nora! Did you see
that Kemp Corless acted extremely
struck with her tonight? They say
he's worth ten million"
Ned shrugged. .

M 'sShe'd be a fool not to, with all
that money into the bargain" Cor
inne retorted.
ssNora is fool more ways than
one," observed Ned with brotherly
candor, ''but she's perfectly aware
that Dad'n never let her suffer from
want of cash. And there's more
to Don Mason than supposed, Cor
inne. He's got uncommonly good
manners, too. Did you notice"
