They are presented bere in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues {| which are being discussed in the press of the day. >The practice of taking a Saturday afternoon “off, for exercise, is unscientific because it is in i‘ Mihe nature of a spurt.

We “get out the old bus” even for a half-block trip to the gro- cery. This already is making inroads on the na- tional health. Unless it is checked, unless Amer- vicans return to brisk walking and lots of it, we shall become a race of weaklings. Health and efficiency depend largely on the use of Shanks’ mare—the legs.

Much valuable ‘material has. thus been collected, which it will take a long time to work over and publish. A preliminary account of some ot the simpler elements of the earth's magnetism may, however, render the full report, when ‘issued, more in- telligible to the average reader. 3 The “Magnetic Poles?” We know that there are two “mag- | netic poles” in the world, a ‘north poie and a south pole, which do not correspond with the true géographi- cal poles. The ‘north magnetic pole in 1831. It was then about 1,400 miles distant from the true north pole. 1,000 miles from the true south pole. The south’ magnetic pole is about 1,000 miles fro mthe true south’ pole. Lines of magnetic force run across | py our earth, from the “magnetic equa- tor,” to the north and south mag- netic poles. The magnetic quater lies near the true equator, but runs both-north and scuth of it, and crosses the latter in at least four places, Starting from this equator, lines of force run north and south, just as from a_horse-shoe The earth is thus a huge magnet... These lines of force in- to peint due north and south; and this is the\basis of the “compass” in common usb. !

These netic, lines of force,-and carried to- wards the north and south poles, get- ting nearer and nearer tite surface of the earth all the time.

How a kind of moa: ern familiarity, betrayed a girl and a jman is related by a Middle-aged ma- tron: - “I chanced to sit opposite my. hus- band in.a crowded street car... At a stop, a pretty painted girl, not know- ing me, tripped the length of the car to get my husband's attention.» She leaned down, put her face close to his, whispered, giggled and ‘slapped :him} coquettishly—on the knee! “! know I turned white. I felt ill. “My husband flushed guiltily. . Pas- sengers in the car grinned. Suddenly I saw my husband-as one of the type I despise, ‘a gay old sport.’ “He says I am acting silly about.a mere incident; that the’ girl, , who works in his office, never ‘had ‘been familiar before; that she is one of the flip kind, without home training in mannérs,’ or any background. i “I say. that it was the ‘business ‘of an ancient graridfather like himseif to discourage the ‘familiarity of vul- gar, ignorant little girls: “Iam a student of psychoanalysis and ! know that it is the careless acts which’ betray habits, The girl did not indulge in a sudden spasm of famii- larity with an old man. “The hurt of it is deep. I’ve al- ‘ways considered the man I love as so Trespéctable.” The question of the manners of girls comes. again in a letter from a young man: “You can’t, tell much ahout a girl from her lodks. They all buy the same rouge. From hat to shoes, any girl. can camouflage elegance. “But watch their manners to their mothers. Or to any old lady. “They never camouflage their man- ners to their own sex. A man. can place them that way. », “When it aomes to picking’ out a wifé;' say, ‘Watch how a girl treats the older women!’ ” Si t ime READ 17 1F (T'S A Sooo ONS BY You STUMBLING THROUGH IT REPEATING EVERY OTHER SENTCACG ITIMSS ANDO MSPRONOUNC WORDS OF MORG THAN PATS ee : THE PAPER To ME, JACK SO CVG HEARD \vou BEFORE! vy Altho I’m not exactly: scared, if truthful words be said, 4 I feel a wee bit safer when I cover up my head.

Manners, sod or bad, are powerful habits as stated in the first letter; and undoubtedly a lover’ can class a girl eXactly by her manners, ‘as the sec- ond writer says, it is not a girl’s at- titude toward the opposite, but toward her own which stamps her as the pos- sessor of the qualities a man wants ina wife. 4 BEAUTY IS HARMONY Thera can be no harmony, and there- foré no ‘beauty, in a home in which the wife and mother is cross and ir- ritahle: and dull-spirited.
