Head Measurements Certain
Method of Picking Singers
A method of testing the ability of
mi) p. t'rtoii to King, without seeing him
or i'M'Ii hearing him, has been devised
by TheophlliiK Kltr. of Los Angeles, re
cently director of mimic In tho State
Touchers' College of Colorado. This
method, which Professor Fit says Is
bis "contribution to science," Is based
upon a series of measurements of tho
head cavities that bo declares lie has
worked down to exact mathematics.
Ho does not find It necessary to see,
touch or hear tho subject, as his work,
which ho terms "voice diagnosis," has
become as doflnlto to him as mntlio
iuntlcs. All ho asks Is tluU. certain
measurements of the head bo taken
correctly.
After learning theso measurements
nnd (ho sox of tbo subject, he makes
his own calculation as to the slzo and
shape, of tho bend cavities and an
nounces whothor tho subject, If a girl,
Is n soprano or contralto, nnd, If n
boy, whether lio should sing tho rolo
of n basso or of a tenor robusto.
"Mnnilo often sings soprano Just bo
cnuso Suslo does, although sho ought
to bo singing contralto," sayH Profes
sor Fltss, "And Hill Insists upon sing
Ig bass becausu ho thinks It Is manly,
when ho really ought to bo a tenor."
Persons with round beads inalco tho
best singers, ho says, been use their
head cavities nro tbo most symmetri
cal; thono with long heads come next,
and thoso with oval cranium rank
last.
"It's nonsense," ho says, "for people
to pass four jr live years studying mu
sic to ascertain whether they ran

Thuro Is no fen tu re of munlclpnl

than do ornninYqtul street lump-posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just
as the effectiveness or Interior decora

mensuro upon lighting fixtures, so the
boauty of the street can bo enhanced
or marred by Its lights. In rnch case
a satisfactory solution of thu lighting
problem consists not only In supplying
sutllclent Illumination but nlo In pro
viding lighting equipment thn-t hnrmon
Izes with Its surroundings and pos
sesses u beauty of Its own. Tho old
tlmo lamppost In vogue before the
days of electricity, writes Thouins J.
Davis, In tho House Ileautlfut, fulfilled
the second of these conditions, but not
tho first; for, although the post Itself
was often n work of nrt, Its feeble oil
or gas llnmo seldom was equal to the
task of Illuminating the street. On
tho other hand, tlu modern overhead
arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory
light, but the unsightly poles, ropes,
wires and other equipment can scarce
ly be called beautiful. Now cornea the
ornamental street lamp-post, which

Soaweed Discovered by
Japanos? as Substitute
for Cotton Also a Food
Something hns been heard lately of
tho vnluo of seaweed for food. It can
also bo used, wo now learn, says n
wrltor in tho Manchester Guardian, us
a substitute for cotton. An account of
this now textile was given recently by
IC. Haniada, vlcu president of tho Japa
nese houso of representatives, nt n
meeting of tho Japanese Federation of
Marino Industrial associations.
Tho raw material may bo obtained
from two kinds of sonweed, called In
Japanese segumo and gomogumn.
Theso nro boiled together In water
with wood ashes, nnd then In wnter
mixed with rlco bran. After bleach
ing, fibers are extracted which can bo
utilized for manufacturing purposes.
Tho announcement of this discovery
has awakened no llttlu Interest on thu

ATTENTION TO PECAN TREES
All Possible Points of Entrance for

Wounds made In pruning peenn
trees nnd those nrlslng from other me
chanical Injuries, such ns cnreless cul
tivation, hall and wind storms, are all
possible points of ;iitrance for wood
rotting fungi nnd should be protected
to prevent losses.

the disease. The bulletin urges that
limbs that are to be taken oft should
he cut closely to the main stem, which
facilitates rapid healing, and If the
wounds arc so large that they will not
henl completely In one season they
should be protected by nppllcntlons of
white-lend paint, grafting wax or a
preparation of one-third creosote nnd
two-thirds coal tnr.
In removing limbs from peenn trees
In no case should stubs be left on the
tree, says the bulletin. A sharp snw
should he used nnd the cut made prac
tically tlush with tho body of the tree.
This permits tho wounds to heal In
the shortest length of time nnd leaves
no surface or pocket for the collection
of water, which favors the rapid devel
opment of the fungi. In removing n
large limb It is necessary to first cut
It off several feet from the tree nnd
then removo the stub properly. If the
cut Is made Hush with the body of the
tree In the first Instance It Is usually
Impossible to prevent the weight of
tho limb from tearing part of the wood
and bark below It. In top-working
pecans cuts should bo made with sufll
clent slope to prevent water collecting
on the stubs nnd some waterproof ma
terial should bo applied. In extreme
cases when rot has gained entrance to
the heart of tho tree the rotted wood
can bo clenned out nnd protection
given which will save the tree.
As n rule the wounds made by the
removal of small limbs do not need to
be protected, ns tho natural growth of
tho treo covers them rapidly. The most
deslrnblo compound to protect large
wounds Is ono which disinfects the cut
surface, furnishes complete protection
for tho longest period, and causes the
least Injury to tho tissues. The prep
aration which best Alls these require
qulrcment8, according to tho bulletin,
is ono made with creosote nnd coal tnr.
After n wound Is made It should be
left until It Is dry and then thoroughly
coated with somo protective substance,
which should ho renewed ns often ns

Prompt enro of all wounds on pecans
will amply repay tho grower by Insur

WHY HE IS IN SCOUTING.
The question, "Why arc you taking
such an active part In scouting?" "was
nsked of Medad Ii. Stone, president of
( tho Tucker Tool and .Machine company
of New York city, and Mr. Stono un
hesitatingly replied:
"I am in scouting today becnuso of
what the scout movement has done for
my sons and for many other boys who
arc now wearing the uniform of tho
United States and nobly fulfilling their
scout oath to 'do their duty to God
nnd our country.'
"I came into scouting because of
what It promised to do for boys. That
was seven years ago nnd the promise
has been abundantly kept. But tho
boys do not receive all the benefits' of
scouting. The men who give them
leadership gain fully ns much. I would
urgo every boy to Join n scout troop.
"If you want to understand scout
ing, go with some scoutmaster on a
hike with his troop or to camp with
them some day. Sit nt their campflre,
watch them at work nnd play. You'll
get a vision of what scouting means,
: and you'll want to hare a share in It.
I "And scouting needs men nnd
j needs them now. Tou can do your
: country the biggest kind of a good turn
If you'll help to do the work of. tho
I ninny scout leaders who aro over
i mere." -n
: FRENCH BOY SCOUTS BUSY.
I A letter from former Scoutmaster
j Geoffrey W. Talbot, now in France,
says :
j "I was with the French army, and
I found that scouting In the large
cities In France has a big hold on the
people nnd thnt the French scouts nro
very like our scouts. I went to a
j splendid scout rally In Paris, nnd must
confess they put on nn entertainment
even better than any I have Been our
boys do.
' "Every Sunday I nsed to see patrols
'r of scouts starting on hikes out In the
country near Paris, and they were a
' fine looking lot of boys. Practically
nil the messenger boys of the Araerl
j can Red Cross were French boy scouts,
and the only good messengers we had
nt the T headquarters were scouts,
! so you see scouting does good to the
l French boys as well as to ours."

GIRL GUIDES OF ENGLAND.
In England, when the success of tho
boy scout movement had completely
won tho public to the program devel
oped by Lieut. Gen. S. S. Baden-Powell,
a demand arose for a similar or
ganization for tho girls of tho coun
try. Culling Lady Baden-Powell to tho
leadership, thoso who were Interested
began tho develppment of a program
ns distinctively feminine ns tho boy
scout movement Is masculine. Avoid
ing even tho terminology used In tho
boy scout movement, the lenders
adopted for tho new organization tho
namo "Tho Girl Guides of England."
Tho membership of tho organization
comes from nil classes. Tho largest
nnd most excluslvo prlvuto schools In
England wero nmong tho first to tako
up guiding, nnd from their ranks hnvo
gono out girls who nro now commis
sioners for largo ureas. Tho girl guides
nro no less plucky than tho boy scouts
and they nro living up to tho highest
nnd bestf prjncjples too. Tho member
ship Is now over seventy thousand nnd
Is growing rapidly.
Tho main activities of tho guides
nro thoso connected with building,
handicraft, uervlco for others and
health.
