Most of them have no gift f painting or carving or writing poet- ry; so they try to make of them- selves pictures or poems. I have known a little shopgirl to go almost without food for days at a timo in order to buy a long red feather for her hat. To her, that feather was an expression of beauty, to attain which she willingly sacrificed her material comfort, “I knew a poor woman, a laun- dress, whose hungry heart wak set ona kitchen as beautiful In its glis- tening white paint and glittering pans as that of the woman for whom sie worked, And by infinite struggle and sacrifice and personal toil this poor woman turned her dark little tene- ment ‘into a replica of the kitchen beautifulness’ she so admired. “Other women—so many of them— are hungry for their children, eager to give them music lessons or a col- lege education, yearning toward a greater future for the boy or girl. The children themselves are hungry to learn “And there was a man, an east sido butcher, of whom I wrote," Miss Yezi erska recalled, smiling, the big eyes more luminous than ever. “What He do you suppose his hunger was? ‘He used to say that his idea of American democracy was fait weight and measure to every man, woman and child! “It is Deoause of this spirit of as- Piration, of idealism, which walks the streets of New York, that the immi- grants who come here cannot be made to leave it, Consciously or subcon- sciously, they feel that in this city every one has a chance to show what is in him or her; that one's future is one's own and is not prescribed by one's past.” “And vou have found that New York offers food to its hungry hearts?” I asked Miss Yezierska, “Wonderful food!" she exclaimed enthusiastically, ‘Reauty, freedom, education, opportuni friendship, love and dreams—-New York gives them all.” ‘Conyrigt, by The Pree Cn.

Does “Mental Electricity’ Make— Mme. Curie a Successful Scientist Carpentier a Superman as Fighter « Both Dis' ct Types of Power, Says Jessie Allen Fowler, Physiognomist— One Must Be Born With It or Cultivate It to Make Life Work Count By Fay Stevenson. OW much “Mental Blectricity” have you? Have you enough to succeed in your life work? For all success, according to Miss Jessie Allen Fowler, physiognomist and phrenologist of the American In- stitute of Phrenology, depends upon the amount of “natural” or “culti- vated” electricity with which your brain is changed jome people are born with this mental ¢lectricity,” Miss Fowler told me at her office at No. 1358 Broadway, “while others must cultivate it by con- stant thought along certain lines or the especial line which they wish to develop. And then Miss Fowler spoke of Mme. Curie and Geonges Carpentier as two distinct types Illustrating the power of mental electricity, “In the best developed brains wo find that mental electricity is divided Beauty and Health By Dr. Charlotte C.

Curie belongs to the first class Her brain ds charged with faith in radium and w it will do. Every thought in her brain ts of the hughest spiritual type. She is planning to give her work to mankind, not to ex- periment for personal gain “Strongly connected with these brain waves of electricity called ‘Spirituality or Faith," are found im- pressibility, trust, confidence in par- Ually developed ‘truth, love of the new, novel, wonderful and spiritual. “Then, too, a brain like Mme. Curle’s ‘Is charged with an excep- tional amount of mental electricity which might be called ‘Hope.’ With this we find expectation, anticipa- tion, cheerfuln buoyancy, clas- ticity of mind, sense of immortality in the future, “And last of all this type of bruin has ‘Continuity or Application,’ which means concentration, connectedness of thought and feeling; ability to hold the mind to one process of men- tal action and patience to wait and ‘ow Carpentier’s brain is charged with a mental lectricity which we call ‘Human Naturé or Intujtion’” continued Miss Fowler. ‘tHe has, first of all, ‘Combativeness or Cour- age?’ and this means power of de- ce stance, defunce, spirit of resolution and self-protec- ex this he must have ‘De- ness or Energy’ with mental waves expressing cxecu- tiveness, force, severity, thoroughness and power to endure. “Then his brain must have ‘Becre- tiveness or Reserve,’ with tact, policy, evasion and concealment of his thoughts or feelings. “He must also have ‘Firmness or Perseverance,’ with well developed will power, decision, positivepes: fixedness of purpose, tenacity of mind and stwbbornness. “And lastly he must have (and this is where the intuition comes in,, fore~ Sight, sagacity, penetration, intuitive perception of character and ability to judge character from the first !m- pression, knowing how to do tae right thing at the right time and in the rigm way.” “Then if we all had the right sort of mental electricity and developed it along the lines we need we might stand foremost in our professions?” I asked. "And those who rise to the top are merely the ones who have charged certain portions of their brain with the mental keenness or electricity necessary for their line of work?" “That is the whole basis of success along any line” declared Miss Fowler. “The minister, the professor, and the inventor should develop the ‘Spirituality or Faith’ mental elec- tricity, ‘while those who are engaged in business and in constant contact with the outside world need ‘Human Nature or Intuition’ mental ¢lectric- ity. Some person who really wants to succeed in life can gain all the men- tal electricity he needs if he develops his brain along the lines he needs,” concluded Miss Fowler. “Some peo- ple are born with this spirit of energy ‘and keenness for their own lines, but even the stolcal plodder can ‘charge up’ and su ” The Housewife’s Scrapbook D®LPRPPPP PPP PP PPP PD PPD LP PLP PPP PPL PPPPPPPPPPPDP HERE are 50 many uses for dried t orange and lemon peel that none should be thrown away.

O'Hara. If You Want to Die Rich and Refined, Just Invent Something New, Such as a Rainproof Complex ion or a Welcomeless Doormat—Opportunity Is Knocking Like the Engine of a Flivver. Copyright, 1921, By the Pree Publishing On. (The New York Drening World.) O matter what Harvey says about this country, it’s a neat place of residence for a guy with brains. For every flivver engine that knocks once, Opportunity does it twice. There are wi of mak- ing money on all sides and both hips. No one in this land has to have credit at the delicatessen store, Not waiting to be invented. Think of the things to be devised for the public! Doormats without any “Welcome” on them. Cigarettes without coupons. And, of course, perpetual motion. Nobody ever dis- covered that except in the family gas meter. If you want to die rich and re- fined, just invent something new. But make something useful!’ Don't be like Herman Gubb, who invented the petticoat in 1871, got rich and famous In later years and died a Pauper in 1920, Why should scientists spend mill- ions trying to attract Mars’s atten- tion when there js mote important work to be done at home? The guy that invents a rainproof complexion has 40,000,000 customers walting for him now, The complexion in its present form is not half so fast as the frillie that wears It. Rain, tears and wet lips will wipe it out like a five-point margin. The modern com- plexion {s also liable to crack and expose the nude cheek to the jeering mob, Another lons-felt want is a 121%4- cent poker chip. Experiments are now being cartied on. A guy that will meet a demand for the unusual is the chap that produces a clothing dummy that looks like it needs a shave. Tho trouble with male clothing dummies is that they look like chorus bo; No dummy wunts to look like that, They also lack individuality, esprit and often- times savoir faire, They look as pleased in a $20 suit as in $30 over- alls. A beard would improve al- most any dummy if It covered enough of his face. Everybody knows a clothing dummy has no brains with- out the faco sculptor trying to prove it. A There is also a national craving for safety matches that give more ignition and less safety. Statistics prove that the 1920 output of safety matches prevented moro firos than automatic sprinklers. The best safety matches come via water from Sweden. Sweden makes ‘em safe, but tho water puts on the finishing touches, The more daring of our scientists are now trying to discover a non- collapsible stock. When completed and patented this stock will be something you can leave your heirs without disinheriting them. It will climb like a burglar and stay up like a lodge brother with a sick friend. Not subject to fluctuation when J. P. Morgan has hay fever or when the Supreme Court goes off on a fishing trip. A stock that your messenger boy will be proud to run away with. Something that will permit 4 lamb to wear sealskin, Another long awaited improvement ig the I-less autobiography. That is something that has never been done. We have hooks, statuary and Vol- stead eleuths without eyes, but pota- toes and autoblographies—no. Thero is a big demand for the I-less auto- biography. Of course, it is recog- nized that it is impossible to write an autobiography without mention- while there are so many inventions ing one’s self. That's why there’ such a demand for the I-less kind— it's impossible, A guy that invents an engagement- proof frat pin won't die a pauper either, The Jarr Family By Roy L.
