series of tests given to 500 m erally, heavily built men were found be stronger than slender men of same weight, pn The tests were made to ascertain ~ the pulling, pushing, handgripping, lifting and lung power of men be- _ tween the ages of 20 and 34, between the weight of 120 and 169 pounds, and between the heights of 63 and 70 inches. The greatest pulling power was de- monstratr d "by mer in the heaviest weight cass, between 160 and 169 pounds. Men in the two heaviest classes, 150 to 159 and 160 to 169 'pounds, tied as the most powerful pushers. In each of these weight groups the taller mer proved to be the best pushers, with a force of 121 pounds, the record figure. In the handgripping contest the tall- est and heaviest men gave the most powerful hand grips, with a force of 108.48 pounds. But the shortest men in the heaviest group were the most powerful lifters, lifting on an average $19.2 pounds. The men faving the greatest lung power were found among the shortest in the 1560-159 pound class. Their lung force was measured at 154 milli- meters. : So far as general strength went, it was found that the taller men were for their weight the less ~trength they had on the average, and the shorter they were for their weight the strong- er they were. This rule_applied through practically all weight groups, As a rule heavy men were found to be stronger than myn of a lighter weight. Men in the 63-64 inch class were found to be the strongest in the 120-129 pound class, as they were in "the next weight class, 130-139 pounds, and also in the 140-149 pound class. However, the tallest men in the 160- 169 class proved to be an exception to the general ruls, for they were found to be the strongest. But the general rule held a: .in in the heaviest class, 160-169 pounds, where the shortest . men were the strongest. i ; Brains and Character Manchester Guardian (Liberal): It is quite possible to have a strong character without very bright brains, and there may be a temptation, as Sir Josiah Stamp has suggested, to as- sume that if people "only had char- acter everything else could be allowed to go." For the better correction of that attitude he enunciated tke defi- nite doctrine "The world is full of very good and very stupid people and a horrible mess they have got us into" --a very sound and stirring proposi- tion, though it might be strengthened by the rider that some of the people who have made the mess are not only stupid but are also not particularly good. And it is also certain' that we shall never get out of the mess with- out men of character to help us. But when all is said and done, there never was a time in the world's history when # was more necessary for good heads to bo used hard. We simply must take better charge of our own affairs than we have done in the past, and to do that something more than mere "char- acter" is needed. erie teen Different Languages of Sexes in Tribes The difference in the language used by men and women of the same tribe, discussed by Sir James George Fra- ser, English anthropologist, in his re- cent book, "Garnered Sheaves," calls to mind the varied words employed by the Incas of Peru to describe the same object or operation. Spinning, for instance, by a woman was called #buhea," but when a man engaged in . this task it was called "buhco." Before the Inca youths of royal blood were invested with arms, they were tested as to their ability to meet the exigencies of warfare, such as the making of shields, weapons or even sandals, of any material available. Thus they practiced the manufacture of woolen sandal cords by twisting wool with a small stick. This method of twisting was called "milluy," and Bo lly " Made oy the makers of Kiaft Cheese and Kraft Salad Dressing LDRE Denmark Favors Slot Machine Wide Variety of Goods Is Sold Through 40,000 Auto- matic Devices in Operation Owing to the strict legislation gov- erning shop hours in Denmark the automatic vendor has become a popu- lar selling medium and a special in: dustry producing slot machines has been developed, says a recent report of the Dept. of Commerce of the Un- ited States.

Evidence of the striking development of the industry cun be had from the production fig- ures. In 1927 a total of 1,616 units were turned out, valued at 662,000 crowns; in 1928 the number of ma- chines manufactured rose to 2,048 units and the value to 762,000 crowns; while in 1929 the figu. 2s had increased to 4,926 units and 1,298,000 crowns, respectively. No f.zures are available covering xports and imports, but it is report- ed thai Danish automatic machines have vecome a very considerable ! urticle of export and are sold 'o such countries as the Netherlands, Switz. erland, England, and Sweden.

It grows in woods, sandy places, and on partly cleared land. As it develops, the two from shore, I watched the parents of the Manus tribe train thelr small efficiently the continual challenge of their precarious water existence, writes Margaret Mead, author of "Growing Up in Guinea," who spent six months among the "lanus. And there was much in the educational methods of these lithe brown savages, in @ string or grass skirt, which could be transplantel with profit into our educational systems. In the first place, the parents can- sidered that the physical training of their children v.as a serious matter, not one to be left to chance, nor the casual ministrations of other children --th primitive equivalent of ignorant nurse raalds. The baby's first step, its first experience in the water, its first attempt to handle a paddle and a punt, all were carefully supervised by a pa- tient, attentive parent. They never forced the children to walk or swim or climb 'too soon. But a child was never allowed to go back- wards, to refuse to do something which he had shown he was strong enough to do. We are all familiar with children among ourselves, who start to walk and fall down, getting a painful bruise or a bad fright, and subsequently refuse to walk again for geveral months. The Marus are in terested in the : ild's 'making the maximum physical adjustment of which he is capable; they have de- lighted praise and vociferous applause for the baby's first ste), cold indif- ference for the baby who falls down and refuses to take another step. The only way in which the child can re- capture the delightful admiration of his elders, is to stifie his cries, strug- gle earnestly to his little bruised legs, and try again. For the very small baby who falte: *, and hesitates, the parents have only indifference and temporary inatten- tion; an older child who falls down or makes some other awkward mistake, is likely to be a-'ually punished, so that the Manus child doesn't look about to see if Mother is near enough to make it worth while to cry, but rather looks abo.' in devout hope that no one has seen his stupid blunder. We, on the other hanu, are too anxious to console the stumbler, to surround him with warm rms, kind words, and comforting assu. nces. This associa- tion of a mistake with » reward is a bad method c¢" training children not to be awkward, careless, stupid in their physical adjustments. The Manus parents are also ceeding careful not to frighten a child, either purposely or accidentally. When a baby has taken its first steps, its mother or father puts it down in the water at low tide, leaves it there for fust a few minutes, repeats the ex- periment next day. Later, he will be permitted to play about in the shal- lows under the house, an alert parent on the verandah or within doors, lis- tening for a cry which would mean that the child had strayed out into deeper water. The child is not made outer coats of the puffball the spores split into segments, but re- main unifed at the top of the ball. * The two coatings vary in composition of cont supervision; no hail storm of "don'ts," "be care fuls" rains upon his playground; he ig trained to use his own judgment as 'much as possible, but he is not allow- ed to get bed frights when his own two-year-old judgment fails. The Manus would find our pleasant little way of accustoming children to the water by force, a brutal, horrid cus- tom, without any excuse.

The child learns from the very be- | sinning that the physical world can be handled, is handled, every minute, Those same adults never per- mit the child to even consider that he will not do as well as they do. The results of this system of train- ing are truly amazing. Children of three are perfectly at home amid the perils of their water world. They can swim as well as they walk; they can climb up and down the slippery house piles; they can tread their way sure and quick footed over the treacherous muddy shallows of the lagoon at low tide. They can be trusted to carry tather a glowing cinder to light his pipe, without fear that they will tall and set the light thatched house on fire. They can climb all over the big canoes, work their way out along the slender booms of the outrigger, slip into the water and swim beside the canoe, one hand on the outrigger, un- til weary of this they climb aboard again, At about two or two and a half, their fatfiers make them small canoes of their own, tiny craft, four or five feet long, simply shallow wooden shells hollowed out of small tree judge distances correctly, so that they will not catch the outrigger which pro- jects from one side of the canoe, in the house piles, when they bring thelr canoes up to the house landing plat- forms. About the same time, their parents begin training them in hand- ling larger canoes, and it is no uncom- mon sight to see a child of three or AR Soin Ses nan, HAL 4% AUS RepRosE » acnoce 2,000 na x A EE Owl Laffs We clean your Daughter--"Nothing gives the thrill of those three little words, 'I love you'."

"Don't do that, you are too little." "Your legs aren't long enough."
