GIRLS WON’T DATE
WITH BOY GENIUS
Needs “Father” to 'Set Example
of Neatness and Economy.
“Mary, I do think Rob’s a
genius even if the girls won’t ,
date with him.”
“Then why don’t you go out
with him yourself?” insisted
Margaret, the leader of the
Hungry Seven, a college girl
club. .
“Well this is just It,” Mar
garet answered. "Not that he
'sn’t the cleverest and best read.
• boy in the senior class, but a
fellow has got to look neat to
yet by with a girl’s folks.”
That boy with his genius ts
one of the many who need
fathers—older men to take an
interest in them—to set the nec
essary example of neatness.
Even If you are not a hoy’s
father, you can win his admira
tion and set an example for him
to follow. Take an interest in
Father and S\pn week, November
11-18, because you are doing
your bit for the citizens of to
morrow.
Neatness and a clean-cut ap
pearance do not mean a heavy
expense—merely the purchase of
clothes of good quality and hav
ing them thoroughly cleaned
often.
To give an accurate assur
ance of thorough work, Dresher
Brothers, with nine of the lead
ing cleaners of the country,
spend $16,000 every year to
maintain a laboratory of scien
tific research at the University
of Pittsburgh, where every pro
cess, every appliance and every
method used at their main plant,
2211-2213-2216-2217 Farnam
street, is scientifically tested,
Dresher Brothers arc not only

experts and maintain a cold
storage plant for furs, rugs and

Are you Interested in ideals? Then
know that Ihe Ideal book for boys
and girls measures just 6x8 3-4 Inches
and that it is generously illustrated
in color. This is the wisdom at which
Houghton Mifflin company has ar
rived only after hours of consulta
tion with leading libraries and the
educators of the country’s youth. A
year ago they decided to publish this
fail the Riverside Bookshelf, includ
ing eight titles, "Heidi,” “The Story
of a Bad Boy,” "Two Years Before
the Mast” and "Ivanhoe,” They then
decided to find out by serious In
vestigation what the right size for
such - books should be. The authori
ties they consulted warned them
against the very heavy juvenile, and
advised something smaller than that,
but larger than a novel. Of course
they must be fully illustrated in color.
Now the books are through the press
and are presented in ideal proportions
to the book buyer.
Peter B. Kyne has just published
a new novel, "Never the Twain Shall
Meet,” which shows the author of the
Gappy Ricks stories, “The Go-Getter,”
and "Kindred of the Dust," in an
entirely new light. "Never the Twain
Shall Meet” is a romance of Cali
fornia and the South seas.
There are a few subjects of more
perennial Interest to book readers
than the true story of a successful
life. Many men, including Andrew
Carnegie and Edward Bok, have writ
ten the Inside story of their rise, but
few women. Kate Douglas Wiggln's
autobiography, “My Garden of
Memory," tells of the extraordinary
story of a girl from a little Maine
village, who found herself while still
in her teens, quite hard up, and as
far as she knew, possessing no
particular gift for anything. How
she rose to be one of America’s best
known women and best loved writers,
makes a poignant and inspiring story.
An afhateur naturalist recently
wrote to Harry L. Foster, taking ex
ception to the statement in "A Beach
comber in the Orient,” that the ele
phant is the most Intelligent of ani
mals. Ifc'aturallst and author were
just warming up to the controversy,
when the naturalist called a truce,
stating that his wife, who had played
in the New York Hippodrome with a
cast which Included elephants, had
overruled him and confirmed Mr.
Foster's opinion. Mr. Foster's new
hook contains a chapter describing
the work of the pachyderms In a
Siamese hardwood forest.

"Boswell's .Tonson" in one of tho
most entertaining books in tho Eng

length, and its good things are em
bedded in a mass of material that is
not of universal interest. Boswellians
will read it all, and ask for more, but
the ordinary reader passes it by alto

because there is an immense amount
in it that he would thoroughly enjoy.
