A Chicago librarian has made the discovery that boys are quitting the so-called "boy fiction" for reading of a different kind. They still read fic tion, to be sure, but it is not their chief reading nor is the fiction they read that provided by the old-school writers of boys books, who had the notion that the youthful masculine mind required and demanded a spe cially prepared and specially fla vored food.- . The boys of today, according to this finding, are calling for the bi ographies of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Edison. They are reading Christy Mathewson's "Book of Sports,' the "Boys Book of Mounted Police," the "Boys Book of Home Science and Construction" and books on camping and woodcraft. When they go in for fiction they read Mark Twain, Scott, Dumas, Stevenson; Jules Verne and Kipling. They do not read Henty and Oliver Optic. The only thing at all curious about this is that it should ever have been believed that boys had standardized minds capable of taking anything but spoon food. Boys want first of all the genuine, and It would be strange if they didn't learn where to find it. A boy who has heard of Roosevelt's life in the West is not likely to be content thereafter with the pretend ed adventures of the old make-believe heroes, whose authors turned out their thrills In New York boarding houses. A boy who has read "Treas ure Island" and "Kidnaped" will have small use for Nick Carter. Kansas City Star. IMMENSE POWER OF MUSIC There is Almost No Limit to its In fluence on the Human . Soul. Music! The dictionary defines it as "The science of liarmonious sounds ; melody or harmony." The tide of bat tle has been turned by the "science of harmonious sounds." and to hear some old familiar melody has often resulted in soothing the troubled heart. v Music can call the patriot to the defense of his country; can enthuse anew the worshiper at the shrine; can call the lover to his beloved; can fan Into flame the dying embers of the fire in the enthusiast's breast. There is no limit to the power of music over the human soul. The world needs music music of the soul; music of the heart; music of the voice; music of the spirit. There are people who can't sing, yet they can be moved to tears or laughter hv the words of some simple melody. Some people sing their way through life, and such people have a wonder ful Influence on the lives of others. Music can have an almost magical effect in producing the desired re sults. In fact, the imagination falls to picture a world without mrslc Mind Conquers Matter. Have you heard the latest Coue story? A man with bandy legs called to see the great practitioner of heal ing by suggestion. After an examination, the doctor said: "Yes, they can be cured. Mas sage them every night and before you go to sleep say, 'My legs are getting less and less bandy' a hundred and fifty times." Full of hope, the man went home. That night he carried out the massage treatment, but he could not remember just how many times he had to repeat the magic words. He knew it was something and fifty, so, to make sure, he recited the phrase three hundred and fifty times. Next morning he found that he was knock-kneed ! Death Rate Already Too High. The death rate for the first quarter of 1922 among Metropolitan Life pol icyholders was higher among white policyholders by 5.3 per cent tend among colored policyholders by 6.6 per cent than for the same quarter of 1921. This was due very largely to the effects of epidemic influenza. There are, nevertheless, many favor able terns in the figures for the quar ter. The outstanding one is the con tinued low mortality from tuber culosis. The " unfavorable develop ments, in addition to the much higher rates for influenza and pneumonia, are the increases for organic heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage and chronic nephritis. A higher rate was also registered for automobile acci dents, m Art and Beauty. A collier and his wife visited a pic ture gallery. They came to some pho tographs of classic art, and seeing one more striking than' the rest, they asked what it was. "That," said a visitor standing by, "Is a photograph of the famous Venus de MUo, the per fect woman." The collier gazed at the photograph for some time, and then, glancing at his wife, he said: "By gum, Lizzie, they made a mess o' thee!" A Logical Youngster. Father caught Willie smoking and lectured him severely. "Smoking is injurious even to men," he went on. "If they smoke too much they get to bacco hearts.' " Willie reflected a moment and then asked: "And if they eat too many sweets do they get sweethearts T" Bovton Transcript. Textile Industry Improvement Seen WASHINGTON, D. C.
