For more than a century this {general opinion has prevailed: Per- sons with high brows are more intelli- | gent than those with low brows. This opinion has been so universally ac- | cepted that it would appear that none but a low-brow would dare challenge it. | In 1913 Sir Charles Goring, a Brit- | ish scientist, made a study of 300 Brit- ish convicts. He tcok the trouble to investigate the brow qu:stion by means |of accurate measuring instruments in- stead of by mere opinion. Sir Charles |came to the conclusion that the brow | proposition was a superstition, In fact, | he found that, something like the actual reverse of popular opinion was more likely to be true. N ‘The 300 con.icts were classified into four groups—intelligent, unintelligent, weak-minded and imbeciles. . Then he measured their brows. His figures are as follows: The brows of the intelligent group averaged 50 millimeters; the unintelligent, 52 milli- meters; the weak-minded, 5¢ miilime- ters; the imbeciles, 53 millimeters. Purther study of his figures revealed that 14 members of. the intelligent group had lower brows than any of the imbeciles. Of course, Sir Charles was studying a special class—convicts. Perhaps you can't depend on figures from that source. But the figures stand. (Copyright, 1930.) By Thornton W. Burgess. e failed to find her, everything seemed ‘wrong.

It never stop- ped once unless the Sparrow man seemed to wunt it to, and it seemed quite smooth and confident. So you can imagine my serpriss when the Wimple stopped ded in its tracks, or rather I should say the car tracks. And there was a trolley car rite behind, With the motorman clanging his bell in the most discourteous manner, and the Wimple man couldnt seem to get his car to budge an inch, although he ODES OF THE MOMENT pulled ‘and pushed everything that seemed moveable. It was reely quite | imbarrissing, because a lot of peeple stopped and looked, although Im sure it was none of their bizzness. The Wimple man explained that it was quite unusual, he said that something had suddenly gone wrong with some- thing or other. Well then yee gods you meen we awt to get a Sparrow, not a Wimple, pop sed. and ma sed, Well thats what I thawt at ferst, and then I got home and remembred the lovely upholstery in the Wimple, so simple and yet o rich looking, and it will go with every| dress because its such a nootral shade. | Pop got behind the sporting page | and stayed there. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. ‘Those of us who remember the chop- ping bowl as one of the important articles of the kitchen equipment had about given up the idea of ever seeing one again, now that all sorts of new grinders and graters have taken its place, and it is with a feeling of friend- liness that we view the little chopping- bowl stand, as shown in the illustration. But here it is, and it has taken on an air of quiet dignity, for it is al lowed and even urged to enter the liv- ing room or sunroom. The bowl is 17 inches across the top and the stand is 20 inches high, so you can see that it would be very prac- tical. Boeside an easy chair, it would hold all the family mending, or perhaps a piecework quilt that some one is working on at odd moments and wishes to have handy. And, then about Thanksgiving how attractive it would be filled fruit or nuts or a combination of both! Maple or birch is used for the bowl arnd the legs are of maple. If one wishes, this stand may be finished in mahogany or may be had unfinished ready to paint. (Copyright, 1930.) e Orange Tapioca Pudding.

Optimistic Outlook. “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."—Ps., xxvii.13. David was an optimistic soul. The note of optimism abounds in his psaims. | He is always singing of conquest and| victory. | There were many times when he seemed to be defeated, when to all ap-| pearances he was “down and out.” But| even on such occasions he kept his eye| on the shining goal ahead. He never| thought of giving up. Even in the| darkest periods of his life-we see him standing at the east window, i through the darkness, watching for the morning.” never doubted the morning would come. Not only was David istic con- cerning his own_perso fortunes; he believed “the goodness of the Lord” would triumph “in the land of the living.” He saw around him a great deal of bad- ness, but he saw also a great deal that was_good, and he believed that ulti- mately the good would triumph over the bad. From be to end David's career was marked by creat adventures and great achievements. He was alwa; ready to do, ready to dare, ready for every enterprise that challenged him. Even in old age he did not lose the zest of living, the sense of adventure, the thrill of achieving. The secret of | all timism. it all was his op! .- Whatever his surrounding s 3 us Te ing faith in God, maintained an optim- mucmcauuook upon life and upon the world. But in our personal affairs and in our efforts to serve the world we have face the same sort of discouraging cir- cumstances and disheartening condi- tions as those David faced. To be con- querors and winners we must learn the secret of the optimistic outlook. o Grape Fluff.

NOTED TIGHTWADS King Louis XIII Sold Vegetables and Fruits From His Garden BY J. P. ol KO GLASS. 1HE KING, THINKING HE WOULD BE COMPELLED TO SEND THE POET A PURSE, STAMMERINGLY DECLINED. The death of Louis XIII of France| did not throw the people into gloom. Instead, according to Tallemant, "meyI flocked to the King's funeral as full cf laughter and merriment as if going to| a wedding.” | Louls had been a dispenser of melan- | choly. A dread of assassination early seized him because cl the fate of his father, Henry IV, and stayed with him 1 his days. This made him suspicious and unjust. Often sufféring, too, from ill health, he becaie sad and severe. He curtailed court gayeties and reduced the number of fetes and dinners. He enjoyed doing things that profited him. He was a fine cook, a good car- penter, a skilled gardener and at least He practiced the last-mentioned trade upon the gentlemen of his court, and if he was not a skillful barber he was a creative one. It was Louis who devised the wearing of a tuft of beard beneath the lower lip which many Frenchmen | still affect and which some Americans imitate. Louls banished his mother, Marie de| Medici, and Richelieu became the| power behind the throne. Louis was | so stingy with Marie that she lived in verty, and when she died at Cologne g 1642, leaving some small bequests to persons who had been kind to her, she sent Louis a request “egging him not to refuse to pay them. Louis did not really become King| until the death of the powerful Riche-| lieu. Then he began to institute rigid| economie .. He revoked pensions the cardinal Fad g ante~ to indigent men of letters. He made his court officers do without foods which had a pamper- ing effect, such as biscuits, jellies and fruits from the royal gardens, and he reduced the at_his table. The King was devoted to gardening. He was proud that he raised Sprin vegetables earlier than any commercial market gardener, tut he really was one number of pastries served | himself, for he sold his fruit and vege- table crops, raised directly under his own superintendence, like any farmer. His green peas were always first in the market, and were bought at fancy prices, of course. The wealthy Pierre du Puget, delighted to have a King for green grocer, fruiterer and vintner, made it a point to corne. the market. Corneille dJedicated his tragedy of “Cinna” to du Puget. Gratified, the latter sent the poet a purse containing 200 pistoles. Subsequently a request was made that Louis permit Corneille to dedicate to him his tragedy of “Polyeucte.” The King, thinking he would be compelled to emulate du Puget and send the poet a purse, stammeringly declined. " he said, “it is not neces- The Duc de Schomberg, who made the request, explained that Corneille did not seek the honor of dedicating his work to the King from interested “Oh, very well, then,” said Louis, “it will give me great pleasure.” (Copyright, 193 { motives.
