Your Age Now Is Open Book, Girls Can Be Told In Your Eyes—Bun Orbs Show Honesty, Brown Shrewdness, Say Optometrists Here’s a fair warning, girls— your beautiful eyes will give yot away. They’ll reveal the secret ol your age. You may fool the unscientific suitor, and lead other members oi your bridge club to underestimati your age, but you can’t misleac the optometrist. By careful ex amination of your orbs, with thi multitudinouts instruments nov. at his disposal, he can place youi age within a few months. So says the Society of Optome trists of American. Tell You Lots Of Things The mere lustre of your eye may tell them your character. The formation of your eyebrow might determine for them whether you have criminal tendencies. The size of your pupil, or the clearness of the white in your eye would lead them to gauge yrour basic honesty, or the ease with which you can be misled. They will not admit they can go so far as to determine whether you would make a thrifty wife, or whether you would be a spend thrift, but they have their own ideas on it as a result of their gaz ing into the depths of your eyes. The "baby doll” stare may fool the boy friend, but to the skilful optometrist such a glance is an open book. With the strange looking implements now adorning their offices, they’ll look deep into your soul, into your character, and tell you what emotional traits you may be subject to. They can tell you how to get rid of the squint in your eye that has been bothering you for years, and locate for you the "blind spot” in your optic, for everybody has such a blind spot. Blue-Eyed More Frank "Blue-eyed folk are apt to be more open and frank tlian dark eyed people,” declared Dr. Corbett. Boston Optometrist. "It is charac teristic of blue-eyed men and wo men that they are apt to be more basically honest. However, they are more easily imposed upon, and more easily mislead. "It s our experience that the brown-eyed business man is more shrewd, better able to care for him self, chan the man with blue eyes. Many feel, however, that the blue eyed man is stronger, and this question is debatable.” Dr. Corbett pointed out that the' amount of pigment in your system governs the color of your eyes People brought up in warm clim ates are apt to have an excess a mount of pigment to protect them from the strong rays of the sun, thus resulting in brown eyes.* Women should never try to foo their optometrist regarding theii age, according to Dr. Corbett. Always Can Detect Maturity "The matter of age is a physiol ogical matter, and cannot be con cealed from the skilful optometrist. Maturity can always be detected under the powerful rays of the in struments now in our hands. A woman might blandly tell me she is only 3 0 years old, and off-hand she might pass for 3 0, but sit her in the chair and give her a thorough examination, and you will find out that the birth records show her to be 3 8 years old,” Dr. Corbett stated. THEY’LL ALL BE PRETTY, JURIES The ladies—some of them at least— Grow irked and agitated Because from inequalities They’re not emancipated. They vote, but that’s a privilege; They yearn for civic duties, They want to fill the juries with A lot of female beauties. Some day they’ll get just what they want— Somehow they always do it— They’ll ornament the jury box, Though males would fain es chew it. In fact, in other States e’en_ now They lend their mental forces To doping out the murder kinks And scandalous divorces. Well, let them have their way, say we, ’Twill save the male’s excuses Each time a female sits a while To judge the law’s abuses. What matters it that now and then Some blue-eyed gold-haired Bet ty Will prove no jury’s grand enough To keep from being petty? [THIS BANK FAILURE HAS HAPPY ENDING Uniontown, Pa.—Here’s a bank failure with a happy ending. Stockholders of the First Na tional Bank of Uniontown, which closed in 1915, today received $110,000 in dividend checks—the 'econd and probably the last divi dend. Today’s dividend boosts ■ pay ments to $460 for every $100 share of stock. Depositors long ago were paid $1.16 on the dollar. The bank, headed by Josiah V. Thompson, former multimillion aire coal operator, closed seventeen years ago when the value of coal lands slumped. Then values sky rocketed with the World War and liquidation was a happy affair. FREAK OF NATURE Brockton.—Several twigs bear ing leaves that are unmistakably of the white oak variety have been found growing from holes in the trunk of a rock maple on the lawn of Zarocki Harpootlian of 477 Waren avenue. The twigs are griwing from holes left in the tree trunks after limbs were cut off and the bark partly grew over the cuts. It is thought that :|ome wag, with an odd sense of humor, filled the holes with loam and dropped in some acorns and nature did the rest. Rowan Printing Co.

North Carolina has reached the point now where there is a nearby market either in the form of a creamery, milk plant or cheese factory avail able to every farm in the State. "For that reason every farm should keep a few cows,” declares John A Arey, dairy extension spe cialist at State College. "Last year the production of cheese in the State was eleven million pounds short of actual consump tion while production of butter was 1 * million pounds short. This means but one thing. We can still expand our dairy industry consid erably before even our local mar ket is supplied. One of the best ways to do this is in the form of farm dairying. By this I do not mean that one must become a pro fessional dairyman but that he should keep at least five cows or more depending on the supply of home-grown feed produced and the pasture available.” Use Lipstick And Rouge For Photo Modern Film Registers Colors Ac curately; Wear Simple Costume But no Hat for They Tell Age. You can use all the rouge, pow fer and lipstick you wan: today, girls, when you’re having your photogtaph taken. The days are gone when) you had to plaster your face, neck and shoulders with cold cream to give the skin a fine, creamy appearance. The modern film is so sensitive it will register colors with amaz ing accuracy, and the rouge on your face will no longer look, like a dirty blob. "Baby Face” Pose Out Recognize the fact, however, that you’ll look much prettier in a picture if you are a brunette. It is a much more difficult task to make the average pretty blonde look as beautiful as she may be in actual life. If you want that "baby face” look in your photographs you can have it, but it is much desirable today to have your picture give the appearance of character. It is all the rage today. These are a few of the hints given out by the Master Photo Finishers of New England. 3400 Photos hi Collection For the first time in history this group have staged, on their own initiative, a collection of a j mateur photography. Don’t Wear A Hat The simpler the costume the better, he pointed out. An ex aggerated costume might be out of date in a year, and the photo graph would look silly. * For this reason it is oftentimes better for women to have their photographs taken without hats. The hat is more apt to indicate the antiquity of the picture than anything else. Don’t worry too much about your hair arrangements. A nice wave, of course, helps out a lot, but the master photo-finisher can do a lot to add softness to your hair when he gets to work on the film. 40 SETS OF TWINS La Grange, Ga.—A Rally Day at a church here brought 40 sets of twins. One fond mother, intro ducing her daughters who were twins, called Alice by Joy’s name and Alice very promptly corrected her mother. Princess Nude Prayer Ruined, She Gets Sore Athens.—The artistic impulses of the Princess de Broglie have been thwarted by the unsympathe tic attitude of the Greek police to ward private nudist parties on the Acropolis. The Princess, with the much younger "Count Pianti,” took photographs of each other without even fig leaves at Erectheum and left Athens shortly thereafter for France, after the police confiscated their camera and plates. The Princess was indignant. She explained that she had artistic ur ges that were virtually irresistible in the face of the monuments of classical antiquity. Her nudity, she said, was a prayer consecrated by the removal of the tawdry garb of today. Plates Being Developed The plates are being developed by the Archaeological Service of the Greek Ministry of Education partly to verify the Princess’ story and partly in the interests, doubt less, of education. The Princess, with the "Count,” applied for permission to visit the Acropolis between noon and 2 o’ clock, when the public is not ad mitted. She explained that she wanted to paint the famous Porch of the Maidens when it was bathed in sunlight. Permission was grant ed, but a guard was instructed to follow them to prevent possible Vandalism. He saw the couple undress. The Princess posed below the carryatids while the "Count” took three photographs of her. Then the Count posed. At this relatively uninteresting juncture the guard decided to put a stop to the pro ceedings. The couple dressed. The Prin cess tried to bribe the guard to "forget it,” according to the news papers here, but he insisted on confiscating ,the camera and plate and reporting the incident. MILLIONS OF FISH GIVEN NEW HOMES Helena, Mont.,—Millions of fish are traveling up and down the highways and byways of' Montana, leaving their homes in State hatch eries for life on their own in the brocks and streams of the State. Distribution of 2,5 00,000 native black spotted trout from the Big Timber hatchery is under way, while 5 00,000 rainbow trout are being planted in three different areas. More than 1,5 00,000 fingerling from the Emigrant hatchery will be ‘distributed in the Wilsall, White Sulphur, and West Gallatin region. Thousands of warm water game fish, reared in the State-Federal pond, near Miles City, were trans planted early in October, chiefly to the eastern part of the State, where sportsmen are deprived of trout fishing by natural geogra phical reasons. PAINTING FOOLS BIRD Bend, Ore.—Eloquent tribute to an artist’s talent was paid by a frightened quail that flew into a barber shop here. The bird saw snow-capped mountains and a tree-rimmed lake. It sped toward the timber. Its flight was stopped when it crack ed up against the large painting. The barber administered first aid and then released the bird, which whirred away toward a hor izon of trees that would not play it false. THE GREATEST ATTRACTION IN STAGE OR SCREEN HISTORY!

Why A Woman Is Like A Newspaper This reason why women are like newspapers, given by Mrs. Bruce Palmer, a subscriber, won the prize a recent contest held by the (Red ding, Cal.) Courier Free Press: "Because every man should have one of his own and not run after his neighbor’s.” Other answers sent in were: "Because their work is never done.” "Because both are tactful, de sirable, interesting and indispensa ble.** "Because they have forms.” "Because they have bold face types.” "Because they are easy to read.” "Because they are well worth looking over.” "Because back numbers are not in demand.” "Because they are not afraid to speak their minds.” "Because if they know anything; they usually tell it.” "Because they always have the last word.” "Because they carry the news wherever they go.” "Because they have a great deal of influence.” "You may often disagree with them but you can’t get along without them.” DELUSION Adoption of a sales tax by municipal government as a subs titute for high taxation ^of real estate has been proposed. A sales tax may have that effect but experience—indeed, recent ex perience—does not support any such outcome. New sources of taxation do not eliminate or even reduce materially the drain on other and older sources. They serve only to add to the general tax burden of the public. It will be remembered that when a tax on gasoline was adopt ed the promise was made that the charge for license tags would be reduced to a nominal sum. A slight reduction was made at the time to give the promise substance. The receipts from the gasoline tax have constantly mounted. The charge for automobile license tags is still far from nominal. If experience means Anything, those who fondle the home that a sales tax will replace or even mai eriallly reduce real estate taxes are courting painful disillusion. SAYS HAPPY PLAYERS JUSTIFY JAZZ BANDS New Haven, Conn.—There is something good in the jazz band, says John Erskine, when it makes its members look happy. "No symphony orchestra ever looks happy,” said the president of the Juilliard School of Music, in an address at Yale. "The expres sions, on the faces of its members can always be connected with a funeral march.” Erskine expressed the belief that the salvation of American music lies in "the informally organized high school and amateur orchestras of small towns. These are com pletely American institutions. The trombone player chews gum to lubricate his mouth; the conductor is called by his first name and is frequently involved in arguments over his knowledge of music.” CIDER AS FIRE WATER; PUTS OUT BLAZE Graz. Austria.—Firemen were not balked when they rushed to a blazing inn at Dornleiten and found all the wells dry. They found many barrels of cider in the t>arn and saved the inn by pouring in on the flames. The innkeeper didn’t know whether to smile or :ry. ERADICATE SCALE BY WINTER SPRAYING Few home orchardists realize the damage done to valuable fruit trees by scale insects. Once this trouble gets started in an orchard, it spreads rapidly and soon infests the trees in a large area before the owner realizes the extent of spread of the damage being done. "There are few orchards in the State not infected with scale and this infestation should be abdicat ed . with spray before any new growth begins next spring,” says C. fd. Brannon, extension entimo logist at State College. "Examine the trees to determine the amourir of scale present as infestation spreads rapidly. We have been using oils with considerable success in scale control and especially is such a spray valuable where oys ter shell scale or scurfy scale is known to occur. Lime-sulphur was the standard spray for years and *if this is thoroughly applied at the proper strength, it will eradicate the ordinary infestations.” | The Perfect Match PAe> m Ruth Wenter, crowned most beautiful co-ed, and Paul Cum mins, voted “ideal man,” both of Northwestern University, at Chi cago, announce their engagement for a January wedding. Rats Chew Up Hoarded Money Beaufort, —Harboring upward of a $100 in an old box very nearly caused Jim Mayo the loss of the entire sum recently, according to The Beaufort News. When Mayo moved here about two years ago from Washington he brought his savings,which were upward of a $100, and secreted the money, in currency, about his home at the north end of Craven Street. He evidently preferred this means of preserving his cash, rather than trust it to financial institutions. Not long ago Mayo decided to have a look at his earnings, as men often do who have their money secreted where there is any likli hood of discovery. When he rais ed the lid and looked in— Lo and behold ! ! His money was in bits and the box also contained a rat—and a dead rat at that. After the startl ing surprise, Mayo surmised that the rat entered the box and chewed up the paper bills and possibly swallowed some. Evidently this diet'of "filthy lucre” was not the ' proper food for the rat kind, for i this member of the tribe obviously < soon rolled over on its back and i departed this life. Perhaps it was because the rat was not closely re lated to the famous paper digester, the "Old Billy Goat,” of lauded gastronomic ability. How could the damaged and destroyed currency be refunded? That was the perplexing problem that confronted Mayo. He took this perplexity to Postmaster R. B. Wheatly to see if a solution tould be found Mr. Wheatly ad vised the troubled colored man to send the remains of the money to the United States Treasury De partment in Washington, to see what it could do with it. Days—anxious days for Mayo— passed slowly. At last an envelope of an official appearance arrived for the middle-aged man. Upon opening it, he was informed by the Treasury) Department that their experts had been successful in find ing proof of $75 in scraps of cur rency and were therewith sending tim that amount. Mayo informed i reporter that he was not sure as :o the exact amount he had for he lad a spent some but that he did ioc think he lost more than a few lollars by the hungry rat getting nto his strongbox.
