One of the most interesting letters I have received in a long time came to hand quite recently. It is from a lady in Montreal, and illustrates very neatly how the lack of understanding creates a great deal of trouble not only between men and women, but between parents and their sons and daughters. This lady writes, In part: "Can you help me to understand my daughter? She is 21 years of age, and is good- looking, has lots of friends of both sexes, but is$frequently difficult to get on with at home I do not seem to be able to 'reach her heart' as I would like. She does not take much notice of what I tell her, and isoften moody and taciturn with me This correspondent has enclosed a specimen of her daughter's writing, and, briefly, It indicates a rather lov- able but somewhat highly -strung na- ture. She has a disposition that Is in constant need of sympathy and affection. When I turn to the mother's writ- ing, however, it Is a rather different story. It shows a great deal of pride, but there is little evidence of any great sympathy there. And there is indication of a disposition to become easily irritated at trifles. The trouble in this case lies not so much with the daughter, as with the mother. I have no doubt that this lady loves her daughter, but she is inclined to be somewhat harsh and unyielding in her views. *She makes no attempt to really understand her daughter. When the girl looks for sympathy and understanding, she gets indiffer- ence. The mother's pride prevents her from really seeing her daughter's point of view. The inevitable result is an estrangement where there should Have You Heard? Scientist claim that each kiss short- ens life three minutes.

The girl turns to others where she should, naturally, turn to her mother. My advice to my correspondent is to realize that people are not all turn_ ed out in the same groove. Some are inured to criticism; others are extremely sensitive to the slightest suggestion of reproof. If people would only strive to UN- DERSTAND others, what a lot of pain and menta' anguish would be spared. One of the basic values of Grapho- Analysis is its ability to help people to understand themselves and others, Lovers quarrel, and separate, often because of an inability to see the oth- er's side of a question. In a word, be- cause of a lack of understanding. Capable men and women work dis- interestedly and half-heartedly at a job they despise, because they cannot understand that their real talents lie in another direction altogether. If they realized this, they could be forg- ing ahead. Grapho-Analysis fills this need, and its usefulness is to be seen in the ever -enlarging circle of people who are using it. A faint heart hasn't the ghost of a show where there is a strong-arm- ed rival. Do YOU wish to know what YOUR handwriting reveals?

To the casual observer the latter condition may suggest leaf roll, which is incorrect, for the leaves of leaf roll plants are characteristically rigid, leathery and brittle. Spindle tu- ber plants produce flowers premature- ly and abundantly. The moat significant feature of this disease is its effect upon the tubers which become unnaturally long and cylindrical, uneven in outline and tap- ering towards the ends. The "eyes" are conspicuous in that they are nu- merous with a tendency to become knobby, a feature particularly notice- able in potatoes of the Irish Cobbler variety. The longer and more cylin- drical type of tuber may develop growth cracks which actually origin- ate when the tubers are small and growing rapidly. Observations made at the Charlottetown Laboratory of the Division of Botany reveal that the spindle tuber disease increases in severity when p1hntings are made with seed from affected plants. Preventive measures against this disease are to be recommended as follows: (1) 'Use Certified Seed Potatoes. (2) Plant only potatoes exhibiting the best type for the variety in ques- tion. (3) Establish a seed plot which should be located nbt less than 200 feat from the nearest potato field. (Experimental Farms Note.) In recent years "spindle tuber" has been recognized as of some import- ance in seed potato production in Canada. When present in the seed - stock it is one factor to account for the condition known as "running out." The symptoms of spindle tuber de- velop in the tops and in the tubers, affected sets being slow to germinate so that the appearance of the plants through the ground is delayed. Spin- dle tuber plants are erect in appear- ance with the leaves smaller than nor- mal, pointed and growing at an un- usually sharp angle with the main stem. In the early season they are dark green and the leaf surface raised or "puffed" between the veins a symp- tom which is less pronounced as the season advances. The leaves are no- ticeably stiff, ruffled at the margins age," she said, "and they are as fins a lot of girls as anyone would want to meet. There is no reason to be- lieve all the things said about mod- ern girls. Some of them may have vices, but they are no worse than the girls of other generations." This is what might be called ex- pert testimony in the modern girl's favor.—Quebec Telegraph -Journal.

Modern Girl Vindicated The modern girl is jsut as ad- mirable a person as her mother was at the same age, and in some re- spects she is a good deal nicer. This is on the word cf Sister Laurentine, director of nursing in St. ;.Francis Hospital, Pittsburgh. Attending a convention of the Catholic Hospital Association of the United States and Canada, Sister Laurentine told how she has had direct supervision of more than 800 girls trained as nurses in the St. Francis training school.

Gaudy Cars Safest A scientific reason for abandoning the present black, dark green and other conservative colors of auto- mobile bodies in favor of cars paint- ed bright yellow or bright red or even with still more bizarre combin- ations such as red and green squar- es or blue and orange stripes has been urged by a British motorist, Capt. W. Llewellyn -Amos, in a letter to the London Times observes the Brandon Sun. The reason is greater visibility and more safety on highways. Con- vinced by some of his own narrow escapes that dark -colored cars may be extremely difficult to see. Capt. Llewellyn -Amos has changed to a car having a bright yellow body and a black hood. This provides not only average visibility but contrast. Against a light-colored wall, the sky or any other bright background, the black hood is conspiculous. At dusk, on badly lighted streets at night or against any dark -colored object the yellow body stands out visibly. The captain does not claim that this particular yellow and black com- bination is the only one suitable or even the best one.
