So predicts Signor Pietro Raspanti, who claims his shears bobbed the first head—a claim that will make bobbed-haired ancient Egyptian mummies laugh in their graves. Raspanti ‘is a cunning psychologist, tho. He thinks, and with good reason, that bobbed hair will survive be- cause “it takes 10. years off the owner's looks.” Is the average woman more interested in looking young or pretty? Page Socrates. Do You Believe in Figures? A LOT of people were out of work and-a lot more had | their incomes reduced between March 1 and July 15, | But during this period deposits increased 1,250 million | dollars in the banks reporting to the federal reserve system. | At first thought this indicates that people save more when times are dull and money scarce, But it comes to | light that 700 millions of the gain was in New York city banks and represents chiefly foreign trade deposits and funds that couldn't be loaned at home by out-of-town banks not members of the federal reserve. Nothing is as misleading as figures. They always mean at least two things, often contradictory. Doctors Hear Secrets 'S THE doctor taking the minister's place as a spiritual | adviser? Dr. Samuel Eliot, president of the Ameri- | can Unitarian association and son of Harvard's great president, says: “The province of the doctor’s profession has been greatly widened during the last decade. Many mental and nervous troubles have been acknowledged to have a physical root—this leads to the baring of mental and | ‘spiritual anguish to the physician in hope of relief.” The real situation, a bit deeper than that, is that peo- ple are attempting to obtain from the medical profession something they can get only from religion. HE World War, as every physician has observed, has made nervous maladies the most common and alarm- ing of all human maladies. Doctors’ offices are crowded with patients who, tho nothing definitely can be found physically wrong with them, are, nevertheless, sick people. | Neurasthenics and neurotics—a mighty crop of them— ivé been created by the worry of war days. "Some doctors attempt to find the roots of these mala- | dies:in improper-functioning of the thyroid, adrenals and | other éndovriné glands. Others trace the maladies to and | lose them in the intricacies of psycho-analysis and psy- | chiatry. | The majority of these troubles are spiritual. And the | only cure for them is spirituality—religion. see HE doctor hears strange confessions—domestic trou- bles, sex entanglements, business disappointments causing melancholy broodings that undermine the health. The doctor learns the secret life of his patients. And, if he is a wise physician, he comforts them spir- itually in addition to prescribing tonics, heart stimulants, peeve sedatives, blood pressure reducers and other reme- ies. But the doctor's spiritual powers are limited. A good many people who think they need medicine really need the solace and peace of religion. Humanity is more spiritually than physically diseased. | Annie Laurie UST 100 years since “Annie Laurie” was published. She was a real person, 18, when the song was written by er soldier-of-fortune lover, Capt. William Douglas. It was his only song. Or, at least, if he did write others, they failed to survive the acid test of time. But in his one song he embalmed sweet Annie Lurie more enduring- ly than the ancient Egyptian embalmers were able to pre- serve their kings. Music is enduring because it is man’s nearest approach | to the spiritual. Boating Te. rowboat he played with when he was a child is a thing that he'll never forget. When stream wavelets rippled he calied the waves wild and he played till his clothes were all wet And then he grew up till he lived in his teens and his play thoughts passed out of his head. A mere touch of age brought a changing of scenes; a canoe was his pleasure instead | He paddied until unto business he'd gurned; then he answered the more! thrilling call, A skipper to be, was that the thing that he yearned, so he skippered around in 9, yawl. Then age came along and he grew to be staid, tho his love of the water dimmed not. And thus was his next plunge in boating life as he purchased 4 sea-going yacht. When he was a kid he looked forward, in truth, to sailing the world’s waterways. And now that he’s done it he looks back to youth with an ‘envy of toy rowboat days. 4 (Copyright, 1924, for The Star) lof friends w | your paper has such a large circula dough balls menian refugees dispersed thruout rare 7 Way ke cattaiaaay en and all the Fords in Between Q Does the moon rise in the|stabie, and it constitutes a serious — Have Thrived Heartily on cast or in the west? ing] TeProaeh to all the powers which Fi A.
