More Paris Styles ARIS is forever doing something new. Now it is announced that, in order better to show off some of the fantastic looking shoes now fashionable in the French capital, dance floors are being raised to bring the dancers’ ankles on a level with the diners’ eyes. That’s not so foolish as. it sounds. Most of us like to dance ourselves or watch others dance. And as the dancers’ feet are—or should be—the principal objects of interest, the idea of raising them to eye level will be an accommodation to spectators. A Poor Man‘s Case HE battle of old George Carson, the poor miner, with the great copper corporations, to secure $20,000,000 for in- fringement on his smelter patents, is of great interest, as a conflict between right and the power of organized dollars and other infliences. The U. S. circuit court of appeals has established the validity of Carson's pat- ents and, ordinarily, this decision would settle matters, but the coppen kings an- nounce.that they will take the case to the U. S. supreme court, in line with the favorite policy of wearing down the poor litigant. On the other side, Carson’s at- torneys maintain that such appeal can only be taken on two grounds. First, the copper kings must show that the issue affects the welfare of the whole people. As most all of the copper cor- porations are involved, it can, undoubt- edly, be shown that many thousands of ce} Q. What is the Pan-American Union? 4 | A.

The decrease in fatalities was made in the face: of a 20 per cent increase in the number of automobiles. Much credit for conservation of human life should go to the National Safety coun- cil, an organization that does as much in its way to prevent accidents and deaths as the Red Cross does to administer to the victims of disaster.

Romaine has just published the results of long researches in what ho calls “extra-retinal’ vision, He believes that the power to without eyes is due to the inhert tance of a faculty originally natur al in all living begins. Tho simple organisms apparently possess a sense of sight all over thelr bodies which becomes specialized Into the eyes only among the higher organ iams. The eyes therefore usurp the special function of sight and the rest of the body loses it. But, ac- cording to Romains, it never has been completely lost and there lies dormant in man the power without eyes, which he can develop by stimulating it into activity, Romains goes to the extent of making he following remarkable ob: servation: “One day the experimen ter notices with surprise that when his head is raised, he sees with his chest an object at a distance in front of him, Nothing is more as tonishing to feel than this phenom. enon and nothing is more difficult to describe. to see Maybe that Cornell emeritus pro foxsor wills his brains to his uni versity to prove that he earned his salary.
