Advice To

as to how to ask one to escort

When you decide which man you
desire as your escort, write him a
note asking him to go with you,
naming the date and the hour at
which you wish him to call for you.
I am assuming that you do not go
with any yquns man In particular,
for you probably would not need to
be asking mv advice In that case.
I am telling you to write because it
i rather embarrassing for a clrl to
ive a spoken invitation.
Dear Annie Laurie 1. Please
tell me something Interesting to
talk about when you are with a
boy.
2. Is It proper to ask boys for
friendship links?
3. I am not a very attractive
girl, and I want to know how to
win some frionds.
4. There Is a boy who .lives
near me. and we like each other,

knows why we are mod. How
can 1 gain his friendship again?

I am answering your three letters
together because you said you wero
chumi, you know. You will notlco
that there aro several questions I
don't answer, but that's because
I have already done it over and
over ago)n in this column.
First of all, what to talk about
with a boy. Just' everyday things,
of course. You don't need to dis
cuss the European war or the num
ber of industries in America or any-
inins iiae mat. chick to inings
you know nbout motion pictures
and sports and theaters or anything
in whlph you're interested.
I should scarcely think it right to
ask boys for xrlcndshlp links. Walt
uptll they offer them.
Unattractive girls are not tluj
least popular. If you are the typo
that is easy to get along with, and
there aro some ttlrla who get angry
at everything that Is said, you
should have no trouble In making
f i lends or In keeping them After
you know them.
SurprUc tho. boy by speaking to
him next time you meet. This busi
ness of getting angry and not know
ing why you are stamps you as
belns very childish, If you think
you arc enough of a grown-up tu
have boy-friends you should benave
like a little lady and not a little girl.

dance. Fascinated by the grace of the players during the course of the
first game wh,ich she witnessed she decided to incorporate some ofHhe
most artistic poses in a classic-baseball dance.
"The Temptatfpn of Eve" was the result. In the picture shown here
the baroness is mimicking the same quizzical composure which charac

seventy of them are the voluntary

tender this acknowledgment of
their gratitude;
Since their arrival In the United

Tribute pf France
: ,
France has recently paid a
great tribute to the United
States.
Her foremost artists have con
tributed to a portfolio of
sketches, which express tho
gratitude of our sister re
public. Rodin, Duran, Laurens, and
nearly seventy others sent
representative drawings.
They have been placed on ex
hibition on the main floor jf
the National Museum, near
the entrance to. the National
Gallery of Art.

At first, one might glance hurried

part of thi American collection.
At last a name catches the eye and
Involuntarily focuses attention to a
rough sketch on a Bit of artists'

In its fragmentary state the sketch
holds more than a passing hint of
the spirit to be embodied In marble

greeting to America is another fea

"Petit Souvenir d'Une Grande 8ym
pathle," and "A la Orande et Laboii

The gnyety and abandon one usual
ly associates with all things French
Is lacking, and in Its place there has
come a certain virility of purpose.
The spirit of the great war has
recast the tendency of French art as
surely as It has the character of her
people.
Sketches of life In the trenches hint
that life In the lA,rls ateliers is at
a standstill. One of Ink and water
color by Toutiucray pictures a cor
ner of a trench, with three quit'
typical half-frosen soldiers waiting
for something to happen in tho way
they had to do through all the win
ter months. Another sketch tho
artist was P. M. Dupuy showed a
soldier creeping up to a trench at
twilight to echange experiences
with another from the same regi
ment. Abel Trouchet has contributed a
eketch.ln black and white of a lone
sentry keying weary1 watch In a
desolato meadow, and others have
depleted other phases of war a bat
tlefield after a skirmish, and a
stretcher being hurried to nearby
ambulance.
The life of those at home Is deple
ted too. with an almost too poignant
realtv. A. Dechonaud has sent a
black and white charcoal drawing
of a woman playing before a crucifix
with tensely clasped, imploring
hands. Just as appealing Is the
figure of an eld man, too old for
military service. He sits uncomfort
ably bowed over waiting as all
France Is waiting. Fernand LabaUe
Is the artist.
Mothers and Babies.
One cannot help noticing the moth
ers and babies. One such sketch by
Laurens might well serve as an al
legorical portrait of Belgium. It rep
resents a mother crouching on thq
ground with her baby clutched
'fiercely to her and she Is watching
great fires devastate the country
as she sits determined to protect
the child at all costs.
Louis Legrand has given a more
peacetul picture of a mother with
brooding eves bending over her
baby In a passion of tenderness.

" Of Pineal Gland Extract
By DR. LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG.
Copyright, 1S15, by Newspaper Feature Service, Inc.)
SITUATED as If it were the third over, tho mothers thus fed with the

connected bv tWo little atranJ
to ,he so-called ""optic thalamic" of
the brain, Is a tiny hollow globule
the pineal gland about the size of a
pea, of a pale, yellowish hue. This
Is the little gland once thought oy
Descartes and other philosophers to
be the seat of the soul.
Modern science' 'has regarded the
pineal body as the remnant of an un
developed th,lrd eye. Physiologists,
however, have rather discredited the
doctrine of 'evolution, and by experi
ment 'have shown that the strange
Utile gland exerts a markel Influ
ence over all the other tissues of tho
human skeleton, particularly mental
and sexual growth.
Dr. Carey Tratt McCqrd of Detroit
has Just undertaken av series of ex
periments with small animals, which
indicate beyond cavil that pineal
gland substance rrom cattle, given as
food, causes precocious development
of young animals.
Chickens, puppies, calves, and guinea
pigs to the nurriber of 303 Were given
pineal glands as food. The first essen
tial result of the experiment was to
show that pineal glands taken from
grown-up creatures are of little or
no value.
Experiments On Younf.
Pineal gland substance, however,
taken from calves and young ani
mals yielded at once very Important
results. The young creatures fed
with young glands grew and maturod
rapidly and, acquired the full weight
and sexual development of adults In a
few weeks' time.
Strango to say, the instant the
young guinea pigs or other animals
became thus full grown and parental,
the pineal gland lost its effects. Al
though Dr. McCord tried hard he
could not produce giants or other ex
traordinary features. The extract
from the pineal gland sterns potent
only to produce proeocltv and full
development In a short space of time.
Besides feeding the gland, and in
order to escape the action of the pep
eln and other enzymes of tho stomach
and liver, hypodermic Injections of
pineal glands from lambs were ad
ministered to forty-eight animals.
There was no great advantage mani
fest In this method over mouth feed
ing, nonce the pineal gland may be
given as a medicine In the food.
Offspring More Robust.
Mother animals, fed young pineal
glands, gave birth to their offspring
earlier than others not so fed. More-

The father animals were equally
large robust and fully developed when
so fed. Indeed, the power" of the pineal
Bland in augmenting vitality, weight,
mental nlcrtneso and vigor, was about
equally great for both male and female
animals.
The animals experimentally , investi
gated gave seemingly complete evi
dence to show Umt pineal glan'd may
be adtantagcously used upon children,
when for their ages they are sexually,
physically or mentally below par.
It remains to be seen whether equal

nally among human creatures for pineal

been used for backward children with
occasional success. These experiments
