Do you think there is anything wrong? —Love Sick. You can nearly always tell by the clock. If she says the clock is right on time she-is indifferent. If she says the clock is fast she wants you to stay awhile, but if she says the clock is slow take our advice and go home. You are not going to cop the prize. —If She Is a Prize— Doesn’t Seem So Another dictionary definition which we think should be eliminated is the definition of shoes.

George Ade, from his box at the Carpentier-Dempsey fight, nodded In the ' direction of a beautiful young woman with very marvelous jewels. “That's Cora de Trafford. She carved out her fortune,” he said. “Rot !" protested a cinema producer. “That ex-chorus girl didn't carve out her fortune. She married Hugh de Trafford, the wild septungenarian mil- lionaire. “Yes," sald Mr. Ade, “but think how many other chorus girls she had to cut | out to marry him.” Where y Tidiness.

At the present timé the situation in régard to education in Serbia is a very serious one because of the devastafion and confusion ‘'which followed the war. It is by no means a hopeléss situation, ‘However, because of the indomitable spirlt and unquenchable enthusiasm of the Serbian people, observes Southern Workman. At the end of the war there was searcely a school building left fit for ‘use. Many had been utterly de- stroyed and those that were left were mere. shells, with no;books, school furpishings or equipment of any kind. | Most of the men teachers hag . been killed 'in the war ‘and many women teachers had died or were seriously Incapacitated from, the effects of three years of hardship and starvation. The. whole scliool system had to be rebuilt. In less thin two years the Serbians accomplished this task. It is by no means completely finished. In many cases ‘the children gre crowded into one roomw, with inadequate seating ca- pacity. _Sometlmes ‘one teacher has charge of @ schpol of a hundred pupils, but the important facts are that the children are having some kind of schooling again after three years of neglect when the Austrians were in occupation; that even with a scarcity of teachers the high standard of the teaching ProfégsTOM™ Y Mg maintained and . that the standard of educatien has not been lowered, but on the con- || trary is being constantly raised. HAS HAD ADVENTUROUS LIFE United States Senator Cameron of Ari. zona Can Recall Wild Days of the Woolly West. Senator Ralph Cameron of Arizona has had enough adventures in real life ta make Blll Hart or Tom Mix look like second-raters, ‘if anyone could get the enator into competition as a_ story, teller with the two leading WHd West ‘movle heroes. Mr, Camer- o was once an Arizona sheriff and ‘that wiasIn"thé days when there were stitl two-gun men_floating around the outskirts of - eivilization and perforat- ing thelr enemles now and then with perfectly. good bullets made of real lead: So- the present senator's life was far from an easy one. -He once cap-- tured a bandit wanted pxen.y badly for murder -and bluffed-200 Mexicans _and later another crowd of Ameri- ‘cans out of thelr plans to take the ban. dit, away and try him before that well. known American jurist, Judge Lynch, He got.the-bandit In jail, kept him there and he finally- was tried and sent up for a little matter of 99 years, = Good Word for the Boll Weevil. ~ ‘Malnly ‘t6” "the’ boll-weevil, and to & less extent to! the exigencles of the war, we ‘owe the fact that a cotton equal if not superior to that grown anywhere in the world is being pro- duced in Arlzona, where, in the Salt River xalley, 28,000-.acres of cream- «colored bulbs now bloom with cotton fiber "that averages one and eleven.~f: sixteenth inches in length. ‘Gotton production in\the Salt River, valley plantation has iacreased from 15,000 bales in 1817 to 87,000 bales Tast year. It is expected that the out- put in 1920 will be 50,000 bales, which.. will. be about one-eighth .of the total | production to be used in the munufac- ture of automobile tires. .This effort would probably not have | been made for many years if it had not been for the fact that the cotton crop of the South sea Islands had been destroyed” by the boll-weevil, = The success of the domestic efforts in this | direction wus largely due to private enterprise. Silence and” Wisdom. Sllence is.yery,near.akin. to wis- dom, - There are folks who may not agree with that, yet it.is true. Our old-friend Cato said once: “The fivst virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to the gods ‘who knows how to be silent, even though he be in the right,” 4 to This statement was made at the an- nual convention of the American Os- teopathic Association of America.

No one is more in need of water to drink -than la-| borers of the wheat flelds, working under the - scorching snn The work- ers were . prone to hop up on the wa- ter wagon to quench their thirst every time the wagon came in. This was obtained from a keg of water kept :submerged in the tank to keep it cool. Old Egyptian “Beauty Aids.” Evidence has been found that the beauty specialists of ancient Egypt were very skillful in the use of false hair. The coiffures of the Egyptlan beauties were very elaborate, as fres- coes and carvings of .the period clearly show, . The Egyptians not only made wigs and hair switches, but were spe- cially iclever in preparing false locks and curls to match the halir. Discovered at Last, Dr. Ernest E. Tucker, of New York.
