Upon reaching the home of ’SBquire Uyrus Brungart it was deemed best to humor the un- fortunate young man and turn over to the sheriff the “‘prisoners’’ whom he thought he had in band.

The happy, Joyous age of woman- kind is not sweet sixteen, neither is it twenty-five gor thirty. but between the fortieth and fiftieth milestones of life, according to Mra, Herbert J. Gur. ney, president of the State Federation of Women's clubs, says the Boston Post, While many matrons giggled and some actually laughed outright, Mrs, Gurney explained the situation as fol- lows: “The right age for women is be- tween forty and fifty,” she said, “A woman of that age can talk to a man, and if he Is a good man he doesn’t think you are trying to flirt with him.” Mrs, Gurney concluded by adding that “it is a good thing to be a good, middle-aged woman.” Fooling War Photographers, One result of the use of wholesale photography in the war zone has been to introduce the new element of de- ceptive scenery and dummy gun posi tions into warfare. Such false posi tions are bullt exactly to resemble real gun emplacements, It is said that In France today out of four objects that are apparently concealed batteries as recorded by the camera, only one con- tains real guns. The others are set up especially for the benefit of enemy photographers.
