Why they never use the same Intelligence in dealing with women and with their domestic problems that they use in dealing with n!?sln. It begins with the apparent inability of men to form any just opin- fon of & woman’s mentality and character. Any man above the lru‘l;'d'; moron can falk to another man for half an hour and have his number b the last hair on his head. He will know just sbout what sort of brains the other man has; whether he is crooked or stralght; whether he is an egotist or an inferiority complex and whether he is & go-getter or a quitter. IT takes & man who is an artist in dissimulation to fool another man, but any girl baby can turn the trick. Ninety-nine men out of a hun- dred will take & woman at her face value, snd if she has & good complexion and a natural wave in her hair they believe that she is possessed of all the virtues. What else, except that men’s judgments go haywire when they en- counter the femlmnc:ppropodtlon, e as they do? How else can you explain the fact that a highly educated and cultivated man can court a nitwit girl for two years without finding out that she has no mare brains than a chicken and has never even scratched at the pages of a book or suspecting that she will bore him to death after they are married? force the metal | iron which dhenredm. ‘They ve g - %"-&h it malleable.

In some instances, she place them on the bottom of a shallow pond, again in small masses from 4 to 10. The tiny things are not over one-twelfth of an inch long. They simply look like plant seed and are passed by. Each ec¥l is a deep brown above and creamy white below, when it is first laid, later he- coming a light gray in the first stages of development. In about 6 days and sometimes as long as 12, the tadpoles hatch. When they are a week old, the gills are cov- ered and the little “pollywog” form ap- pears. In seyen or eight weeks the tadpoles are grownup. They are small and measure, including the tail, 1 inch long. The tail is twice as long as the head and body together. Should you find the tiny creature, you will see his under-surface is a reddish bronze, very shiny, with a sort of me- tallic luster. The same characteristic frog head may he seen in the tadpole before even his front legs make their appearance. ‘Then his eyes are set far apart, there is a well defined angle be- tween the eyes and nostrils, and the iower jaw projects heyond the upper.

The majority of questions asked {meé on this subpect are from women between the ages of 30 and 40. This (is usually the time of life when a | woman begins to take on extra weight, | especially around the hips, waistline, shoulders and upper arms. I am often asked how long people |need to keep up their exercises in | order to recapture or retain a youth- | ful, graceful My answer is that the body needs regular daily ex- ercise just as long as it requires food | and sleep. Those who learn to look upon a moderate amount of exercise as a daily pleasure and a necessity will reap big dividends in health and beauty. A woman can seldom enjoy vibrant health and vitality without regular dally exercises. This is especially true @f the home or business woman of 25 to 40 years. At this age the tendency to put on flesh is very common, while at the same time the lar{le body muscles become weak and the hips, abdomen, walst and shoulders become flabby and fat. Regular indoor exercises are nof to take the place of regular outdoor exercise, such as walking in the fresh air and other outdoor pastimes, how- ever. The best time to do indoor exercises is in the morning before breakfast. than pegple in Indis proper. So Burmese have slanting eyelids, remin ing us of the Chinese.
