Only an arch-heretic would cast
doubt on woman's intuition. I confess
to heresy. Unquestionably this sixth
sense exists, but 1 think (hat it is over-
rated, Lydia Haig writes In tlie Wash
ington Post.
If woman's intuition were so uncan-
nily developed as it is commonly rep
resented to be, her advantage over
man would be incalculable. In enier
gencles her decisions would be more
prompt and wlso than his, she wonl<?
more readily detect false logic, she
would judge charm-tor unerringly, and
so bo lielter protected against the de
signs of the unscrupulous. Iu reality,
more women than men are victimized
by suave impostors.
If women were so highly Intuitive
they would excel in the law courts. In-

Tribner's Magazine. "Per-

"Many of our myths center around
liberty and freedom, until one would
suppose that they were something In-
digenous to the soli of tlds western i
world. Yet we know that 'freedom,' j
except for the few, was about the last J
thing the original settlers wanted. An '
examination of the records of the •
northern colonies will show how ex- '
ceedingly little freedom th re was of j
any kind from the ordinances of Ply- i
mouth to the famous statute of 163G,
which removed the last vestige of i
freedom from children above six, com- )
pelling them to be employed, even !

Camera as Detective
An interesting discovery in photog
raphy is now being used by the French
police in their work of criminal inves-
tf;vr:'ion. It has been found useful to
impregnate the skin of the fingers of
criminals, or other suspected persons,
with a preparation containing & lead
compound. This remains on the lines
of the skin. •
When an X-ray photograph Is taken,
not only is the finger-print shown in
detail, but also the structure of the
bones. The bones of the fingers furnish
even more possible clews to the Identi-
fication of criminals than finger prints.

Cookie Cutters for YOU!
CH1LDRLN can hardly wait until cookies arc out of the
oven when they're made with these animal cutters.
Four in the set —cat, lamb, goose and bunny. And they'll
cost you nothing but the packing and mailing cost —15c.
With them we'll send a Davis Cook Book, too.
The cookies you'll make are examples of the many
good things made with Davis Baking Powder. Davis
is pure and sure—it makes biscuits feathery light,
cakes and cookies so palatable and pleasing! And in
addition, it costs you less and you use no more than
of any other high grade baking powder.

Daring many great fires fire-fighting
equipment from neighboring cities has
proved nseleae because the threads in
the hose couplings did not fit the local

United States bureau of standards has
perfected a set of tools enabling new
threads to be cut on the spot. Fire de-
partments In many large cities now
