I 7 THE ROMANTIC SEASON. A epirit of romance pervades sut- umn of the year which few, for fear of ridicule, will admit sensing. Per- haps romance is something for lov. ers, the adolescent and 'women folk and to be spurned by sober manhood, yet most men, if honest with thelr fellows, would be compelled to con- fess to a quickening of the pulse when the first leaves fall and dark- ness comes before supper. For an explanation of this fall ro- manticism one might hearken back to the days of boyhood when autumn Almstiopamnodtmedon bad Tuck.

Ask any boy which Is the best Season in the hills and the question 'will find antumn on the tip of his tongue, The spirit of romance encounter- od: this time of the year in the work- aday world may also be traced to the fall holidays and festivals. There are Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving Day. What festivals could be more symbolieal of the harvest geason than these, and both abound in tradition, adventure and romance. Imagina- tion is nine-tenths romance and Hal- lowelen and Thanksgiving Day exer- cise a strange appeal to the imagin- ation. 1g + And if the adage is true that "the Way to a man's heart js through his stomach," then the harvest accounts for a part of the romantic atmo- sphere of the season. Where is to be found r in greater abundance than fn e.goiden brown pumpkin ple, in a giaws of sweet cider, and in a basket of new apples? If the truth were known it would probably be found that in the age of the romanticiets in literature the year had but one season, and that autumn. At least the romanticists must have:found their inspiration in the third season of the calendar. CHOOSING OCOUPATIONS. Years ago fond parents devoted winter evenings to deciding the fu- tures of their numerous offspring. Johnny was to be a teacher. Mary would be a trained nurse. Willie would be tutored in the ministry, and perhaps a fourth progeny would be Placed in business or kept on the farm. And in the day time the school instructions of Johnny, Mary, Willfe and so on believe they had fulfilled their duty if they prepared them for graduation. Few teachers realised that their's was an excep- tional opportunity to help young men and women to pick their life's work on the basis of their individual Qualifications and peculiar abilities, All is different in Ithe educational system of to-day. Vocational guid- ance is an established science. The public schools and the institutions of higher learning now strive to fit the curriculum to the student, not the student to the course of study. The student at the same time is directed into a life's work for which he is especially sulted. This does not mean that students are allowed to elect that course of study which they find easiest to as similate, but that the boy or girl with a scientific mind 1s steered into the sciences while another boy or girl with a talent for the cultural sub- Jects or perhaps for the dead langu- ages is persuaded into following such course of study. Many men and women now fail- ures In life might have been pre- eminent in Petr professions or trades had an ounce of direction been exerted in their youth to the selection of a career. A boy with an aptitude for mechanics and the en- gineering branches should not be forced into a Jegal.or literary career because a parent or an 4mstructor is partial to those latter occupations, | will'be in the future, There is a "'Gestiny which shapes our ends" if it is the power which attracts the individeal to that thing nature, B0ood crime is as useful in pro; the growth of an educational institu- tion as a good football team; for Presidents and boards of governors will then be faced with the problem of determining the attitude which they will take to crime, and it fa con- celvable that arguments may be found for treating it as lar degree; that of Doctor of Laws would, for instance, be an unpléas- ant reminder that go far as the laws are concerned both of the worthy student-criminals ought to be dead and beyond the reach of degrees. A statue on the campus is a possibility, with both of the heroes engaged in their favorite and ennobling pastime of chewing gum. But perhaps the best thing of all would be the estab- Hshment of an annual holiday en- titled Leopold-Loeb Day, on which the account of the crime, and the speeches of Attorney Darrow and the presiding judge, should be read to the assembied students by the prin- cipal, followed by a few comments on the tremendous gains achiéved by the young murderers and their ad- vocate for the great cause of the Freedom and Irrespgusibility of Youth. The students could pe ex- horted to make the best of their op- portunities, and never to forget that once they attain the age of twenty- one they can no longer commit mur- der without paying the penalty, THE UNIVERSAL CIGARETTE. Consumption in the United States has increased to four and a half times what it was ten years ago. The figure for the current year will now undoubtedly reach 67% billion cig- arettes, or about 600 cigarettes per annum for every man, woman and child in the country. As the vast bulk of the total is actually consum- ed by about one-fourth of the popu- lation--the other three-fourths con- sisting of those who are too young to smoke, who do not like cigarettes, or who believe them to be immoral-- it follows that the average cigarette- smoker in the republic gets away with some 2,400 of the little tubes in a year. The increase since 1914 is not so much in the amount smok- ed by the average individual, as in the vast increase in the number 'of individuals smoking cigarettes. The female smoker is, in the United States, almost an invention of the decade which began with the war. It would be interesting to know just what proportion of the genuine cig- arette-smokers on this continent are women (by genuine smokers we should probably mean those who smoke from five cigarettes a day up- wards), but the government has so far failed to provide any statistics on the subject. The number, how= ever, is far from being as negligible 8s it was ten years ago. Those who regard the prevalence of cigarette-smoking as a calamity have only two possible consolations. One is that, having achieved in the United States the prohibition of alco- hol, they may if they work hard enough achieve the prohibition of to- bacco. The other is that every vice must have its'saturation point, and that it really does not look as if the population of the United States could manage to smoke many more cigar- ottes unless it takes to smoking in the cradle. Perhaps a third con- solation may be found in the un- doubted fact that about half of the cigarettes which make up these sta- tistics are only smoked half-way through. That, of course, merely replaces the vice of smoking by the vice of careless extravagance. Both are deplorable vices, but for our- selves, If we were offered our chofee of curing the entire American con- tinent of either one or the other, we know which one we could elect to cure--and it would not be smoking.

I believe physicians are pretty { well agreed that most people eat too much meat, and Hkewise, too many eggs. As mentioned before, meat and eggs are the proteids and if eaten In quantities larger than is neces- sary for the needs of the system, then the kidneys begin to have trou- ble getting rid of the wastes, and the arteries also begin to lose some of their resiliency.

Now although this is all true, there is just one point that should be remembered, before meat and ©ggs are condemned in a wholesale mannér. If you are the average man or woman, 'doing the light forms of work demanded now by civilization, then you "can perhaps cut down your meat and eggs to perhaps one tenth of the total food, that you eat in a day. This is the | amount recommended by some good authorities, and I have Do fault to | find with it, But if you are a hard working man or woman, doing manual work, or engaging in athletics, then one- tenth {zs not sufficient, but really should be twice that amount.
