NOT IMPRESSED BY SPHINX Modern Reporter Refuses to See Any thing Wonderful In the Lady's Appearance. Admitting tlmt "a mouth 7 feet wide Is not a rosebud, nor an ear 4 feet high a seashell," a modern re porter In Egypt Is impressed by the fact tlmt the Sphinx does not seem nearly so Impressive as he had ex pected. After all, tlie creature is only 150 feet long and its face only 14 feet wide ! Perhaps the environment made a difference, for the Sphinx, ns she today rests in the sands of the desert, lins a very different stngc setting from that of a few years ago. The black tents of the Kedouln have gone, nnd their place taken by the white and khaki tents of the Uritish, pitched north and west of the Pyramids. Trol lay cars run to within some hundred yards of the Sphinx, and automobiles travel the motoring rond to the base of the Great Pyramid; from the apex of the Pyramid of Cheops four long antennae of a Kritish wireless appa ratus stretch down to the ground. For n short time during the troubles In Egypt the neighborhood of the Sphinx paw a reversion to lawlessness, and Bedouins only the other dny swooped in from the desert and attacked a par ty of sight-seeing British at the Pyra mid?!. Dwarfed by the Pyramids the latest visitor who has recorded his Impression found the Sphinx "disap pointing, and decided lhat so far from having a "cryptic expression," her stone countenance has no expres sion Whatever. Christian Science Monitor. Red Hair. A perturbed correspondent of fhe In dianapolis News raises an interesting question. Do women, he wishes to know, shun red-headed men and, If so, why? Ills own hair Is of the hue sometimes thoughtlessly and Inaccur ately described as carrot colored. Hence the query Is of vital personal Importance, lie 1ms given the matrl monlnl quesrlnn "serious considera tlon." but each time has been met with discouragement due, he believes, sole ly to the tinge of his hair. The mat ter Is one calling for the thoughtful attention of the philosopher and the sociologist. If women generally are frowning on the matrimonial otters of red-haired men, the future of the race Is threatened. Was It not a red haired man who fired the first shot in the American war against the Hun? Society cannot afford to lose the red head temperament because of the per plexing perversity of marriageable women. The red-head will be needed for the next war, or If there Is no next war, whenever and wliexover trouble Is brewing.

(Copyright, Mil. by th. Western News), paper Union.) It was n pleasant, lively scono nnd carried Novll Brookes buck to his early youth. Seated In n enmfortublo loung i"K cliulr on tho porch, ho hud it full view of linlf n dozen little girls en gaged In the old-fashioned game of "hop scotch." Upon the smooth cemont pavement the group hnd drawn In chalk the con ventional body of the subdivided dia gram, rounding It with "the moon," to attain which, by hopping on one foot and speeding a Hut pebble without rest ing on a line was to score t victory. Suddenly the play suspended "Oh, there's Marty Donne shu will show us how to Hip Into the moon!" nroso In n tumultuous shout. Hrookcs leaned over toward tho street to make out n girl of about sev enteen, exquisitely dulnty In form and feature with a wealth of sunny golden hair like an aureole, and lithe and graceful In all her movements. A rippling smile Irradiated her lips and she welcomed the juvenile onslaught with caressing kindliness. The delectable Marty's loving nnd accomodating nature showed fully as she took her position ut "goal," set the pebble given her, and proceeded to demonstrate her capability as a hop scotch expert. Brookes watched her with profound admiration. Just then an overdressed, slatternly womnn appeared, a great, hulking young man nt her side. She darted forward as she made out the girl. "What's this?" she shouted nt Marty. "Nice actions for a woman grown, and promised I" "Promised?" cried the girl scorn fully. "Who to?" "To him, Dan Iteeves," and the wom nn Indicated her companion. "Who promised me?" challenged Marty. "I did; and didn't he give you a ring?" "Yon menn ho forced It on me," flared up the girl. "There is his eheap gift!" nnd tearing a tawdry circlet from her finger she Hung It to the pave ment, gave It n blow with her toe, and ndded : "If he ever tries to kiss me again I'll kill him, and If you lny your hands on me I'll run awayl" nnd like some proud empress, the nroused girl left the spot, her head high In the air. Nevll Brookes was recovering from a fit of sickness nnd had sought rest and quiet In the boarding house where he was pnsslng his convalescence. lie asked his landlady about the girl who hnd Interested him. "Ob, you menn Mnrty Donne," spoke the woman. "Poor girl ! but good girl. Her father died, leaving her to the mercies of a cruel stepmother, who Is anxious to get rid of her enre nnd has tried to favor the suit of that Reeves fellow, but Mnrty despises him." There was n little pnrk thnt Brookes strolled In every morning, nnd the next dny he was attracted by the sound of low sobbing heyond some shrubbery. He went over to the spot. Upon a bench, a bundle at her feet and weeping bitterly, wns the hop scotch girl. "Are you In trouble. mlssT' spoke Brookes gently. "I have seen you be fore, and we live In the same neigh borhood." Marty read sympathy and Interest In the clear, open face. "I am going away from my stepmother ami the mnn she Is trying to make mo marry," she said, "and I . shall never come back. Oil, sir, Is It very far to Wlckhnm?" "Why do you ask that?" Inquired Nevll. "Because the only friend I have In the world lives there. She was Nel lie Foster, and she mnrrled Ned Wil ton three years ago, nnd they settled down nt Wlckhnm. A yenr ngo Nellie wrote me thnt they hnd a darling little bnby, and I love children, and I know that Nellie would give me a homo." A sudden Impulse urged the tender hearted Beeves to assist this homeless waif. Ills own life wns lonely and her distress niovcd'hlm to pity. "If you will trust me, I will see you safely to Wlckham," he said. "Oh, sir, will you?" cried Marty rap turously. "I am sure Nellie will pay you back for the fare." "Never mind that," said Beeves, nnd her childish delight looking from the car window and hopeful eagerness when they reached Wlckhnm revealed the untutored soul of tho trustful girl. They reached the former home of the Wiltons to find a sign "fnr rent" on the neat little cottage, and a neigh bor Informed them that tho family had moved to a farm "somewhere out West." Mnrty dropped to n step, n picture of forlorn dcspnlr, "Oh," she sobbed, "wiiat ft life It would have been to hnve my old fr'-imls, ;tut flic baby, nnd this beautiful gurden. It would be like being In heaven! And now I nm worse off than ever!" nnd she broke down utterly. "Look ip In my face, Marty." spoke Beeves seriously. "I am ns much nlono In tho world as you are, hut I think experience a mutual trustfulness. You crave a home of comfort and happi ness. Will you share It with me, ns my wife, right here antl now?" And Nevll Brookes, with a grateful. loving life partner smiling nnd singing nil day long in their little parndUr of n house, never regretted that lit had jvedded "the hop Bcttch girl." NEWSPAPERS DOrff TELL all As a Matter of Fact, World Must Not Be Judged by What One May See In Print Through all civilized countries folks spend a lot of their time Just read ing the pnpers, And it Is nil right, too. Kverybody rends the papers. But one must be careful to keep one's equilibrium nt the same time. We must not make the mistake of sup posing that there Is nothing else going on In the world except that which the papers print. The pnpers publish only the news that Is startling or sensational. Nat urally, that's all they publish. What ever Is unusual, out of the ordinary, something that astonishes one these things are what tho papers print. If you were to go Into a newspa per olllee with an Item, say, about n man who had reared his family care fully, sent them to school and hud paid the mortgage off his home, the editor wouldn't put that piece In tho paper because there Is nothing unusual nbout It. But If the Item were nbout n mnn who refused to work to support his family, and who beat his wife over the head with n club, nnd who chased them nil out In the middle of the night In the ruin, then the editor would say It was "news." So, you see, It Is mostly the trou bles of the world, its seamy side, Itn crime and sufteiinq and squalor that get Into the papers. Yet, there Is the world's other side, thank Cod Its bright side, Its love nnd glndness nnd charity and the help thnt one mnn gives nnother. Bend the papers, of course. But, when you rend them do not get the lden Into your head that the world Is plunging headlong to perdition, To cnuso such Is not the case. Utlca, Globe. WINGS FOR MRS.

Being an excellent danrcr and attractive, she wns In much fle mnnd nmong the hoys. One uwnlng she danced several times with tall tow-haired doughboy who showed symptoms of grent loneliness nnd tnlked volubly nbout things In Mlchl gnn. When the evening wns ndcd, tho tow-bnircd one enme over to Mrs Vnnderbllt. "I've hnd a bully time," he snld "antl I want to keep truck of you We're moving out of here tomorrow for the front.

The doughboy scanned her from head to foot. "That's right, quicken," ho said, "fly high!" Treasure-Trove. Tobermory Bay Is becoming serl ously Interesting. The salving npera t Irms In connection with the Spunlsh galleon, supposedly the Kloreuclu, which for three nnd ti half centuries bus lain a wreck off the coast of the Isle of Mull, are being brought to the surfnee nmong them a beautifully chased silver plate and tho orna mented bundle of a silver tlngon.

Tho dlv ers have not performed their work without some sign of protest from sea dwellers. One of them disturbed re cently a huge conger nusasurlng some 15 feet. The nnnoynnce of the lyilmal wns unmlstukable. Treasure-trove Is undoubtedly now within grasp, hut dllliculty Is experienced In bringing the linds whole and uninjured to tho surface. The Flylna Era. Mall-currying airplanes are already an old story, writes A. Russell Bond, in "Inventions of the Great Wiir." In Europe the big bombing machines arc being used for passenger service be tween cities. There Is un nlr lino between Paris and London. The nlr planes carry from a dozen to as many ns CO passengers on u single trip. In some cities here, as well as abrond, the police are being trained to lly, so that they can police the heavens when the public tnkes to wings. Evidently, the Hying era is here.

"Yes," snld Mr. Brown, "my wlfo und I are thinking of churterlng a yacht for tho year." "But won't that bo pretty expen sive?" asked Mr. Hughes. "Not so long as we confine ourselves to thinking about it," replied Mr. Brown. Is Every Animal At lis lest?

AVIATORS HAVE SIXTH SENSE Money In Seaweed. All along the coast of Norway sea weed Is gathered and burned. This seaweed grow in verltahlo forests, and is not of tlm common grass vari ety. In fact, there are actual trees of It fl or six fMt high, with stems like ropen and leaves tough as leather. They begin to sprout early In the year and cover the ocean bed with a dense, ImpeuHrable brush.

Owners of land nbutflng on the Aealhore reap a Proof That the Human Body Is More Highly Endowed Than Has Hlth erto Been Supposed. The London Lancet nsks which of the five senses could have played n predominant share In the nonstop transatlantic Illght of Alcock and Urown. "Sight, even when tho moon was vlslhle, was practically nullified by tho constant cloud nnd storms of slcot or hall; hearing must gradually have lost its icutencsH In the course of 10 hours of exposure to tho tremendous din of engines and propeller It Is re corded that both olllcers were deaf on dismounting; the vestibular sense seejns to huve been no trusty guide, Inasmuch as the pilot admitted Invol untary Indulgence In stunting nnd seems to have looped tho loop with out being aware that his vertical di rection was changing. "On the oThor hand, the avlntors' horizontal direction must have been marvelously precise throughout, as, with no landmarks'to guide them, their destination was reached without a hitch, when a swerve of a slngde de gree to one side or the other of the direct lino would have lost them their objective. "Presumably the Imperfect sense records supplemented each other In nervous systems long trained to rapid and impromptu adjustment." 't seems that the human body Is on nowed with a sense of stability and balance that depends not upon any one of the "live senses" and cannot be localized entirely In the labyrinth of the ear. Some men possess this sense in greater degreo than others. BLACKLEG GERM FREE AGGRESSIN 25c A DOSE. One dose immunizes the calf for life, kxtra strong 7 dose syringes, needles, etc., for sale.
