Twenty-Eight is Ideal Age Chicago, Jun? 12.?"Old maids" ..jed hang their heads no longer. The ideal age for a heroine-of moving picture romance or of Hove stories generally is today 28 yean, an afe'6 that only a few years ago was regarded by the general public as fixing a woman definitely in the ranks of confirmed spinsterhood. This is the conclusion made from a careful study of the 27,000 love stories which the lay public, amateurs from all walks of life, wrote for the scenario contest recently conducted by The Chicago Daily News. Representing not what scenario and magazine editors or writers guess the public's choice to be, these manuscripts were first hand information on the actual tastes of the people who buy books and who attend moving picture exhibitions. "Striking unity among the nationally scattered contestants upon the subject of the heroine's age is among the first things to be noted by the judges," said Judge Shyrock, director of the contest today, announcing the facts as brought out by the competition. "It is too general to be accidental and represents undoubtedly a country-wide change in ideals. "Few of the heroines are In their 'teens ,only a handful, are in their early twenties, the great majority are around 27 and 28, the authors seeming to regard this age as woman's best and woman as more beautiful, intelligent poised and attractive there than previously. The judges declared that the age of the ideal heroine had been advancing steadily since the 1870'8 when a girl of 16 or 17 was regarded as romantically perfect. "The judges explain this by citing woman's entrance into indiiatrv noli tics, education and by pointing out that woman today refuses to grow old and takes better and more intelligent care of her beauty than she did in early periods. In the stories written by women, 60-per cent of the total, the heroines were on the average four or five years older than in the stories written by men." S. C. Second State In Nation to Fill Quota South Carolina, following close on the heels of Florida was the second state in the nation to fill its quota for the Citizen's Military Training Camps to be held this summer. South Carolina stands out prominently among the other states in the Southeast which makes up the Fourth Corps Area and her showing is in direct contrast with North Carolina and Tennessee now at the foot of the list according to B. C. Riley, vice president of the Military Training Camps Association of the United States, in charge of the Southeastern Department who says South Carolina's showing is not only a manifestation of the great interest of her young men in this splendid opportunity for a vacation at government expense and for army instruction which will equip them for greater service in case of emergency, but it also shows the results of the splendid eiforts of South Carolina's state chairman, Reed Smith, director of the Extension Di vision at the State University who has worked untiringly in an effort to acquaint the citizens and boys of the state with the plan and purpose of the Citizens' Military Training Camps in the Fourth. Corps Area which will bfe held at Camp McClellan near Anniston, Ala., and Fort Barrancas, near Pensacola, Fla., June 27th to August 26th. Through Prof. Reed Smith, South Carolina has lead the way for the rest of thee states in the nation and because her quota has been oversubscribed the war department is planning to recognize the patriotism of South Carolina's young men and if possible the state's quota will be increased in order to take care of all the young men who applied for admission to the camps before the campaign was closed at midnight May 31st. r In other states in the Fourth Corps Area including North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee, the recruiting period had to be extended until June 15th, consequently these states will not secure an increase in tbeir quota which is based in every case upon population. Le Figaro Departs From Precedent New York, June 11.?With the purpose of interpreting American life and thought to the people of France, the newspaper Le Figaro, of Paris, will henceforth devote weekly a measurable proportion of its space to American affairs. French newspapers differ largely from those in this country. As a rule they give relatively little space to foreign news, using only short dispatches. Heavy demands are made upon them by politics, and as a result political ,editorial articles crowd out news of what the rest of the world is doing. Furthermore the thootru u rwl mnftora lltoMvn nnalmi much space in their columns. Le Figaro, however, is going to depart, in a measure, from precedent. It has opened an office in New York in charge of Louis Thomas and & M. Lemer, who will send it by cable and by mail news of the United States, particularly matters in which both countries are interested, as well as descriptive stories of American life, and financial, industrial and political articles. Le Figaro was purchased on Nov. 10, 1921, by M. Coty. Subscribe to The Union Times._ ' J Study New York, June ^2.?The. word "moron," which crimfodloglsts as well as newspaper headline writers frequently use to dea?flate a person of morbidly criminar tendencies, is defined in a bulletin issued by the State Charities Aid Association. "Moron," they say conies from the Greek "moros," lepgninn "fool." And the word, as apptyod by psych&trists and mental specialists, means just that?"fool." It is not applied tb Insane persons, to lunatics, imbucifca or idiots, but to the considerable^fihncentage of the population whose Indited reasoning power places them?on the great border-line of mental deficiency. Before the word "moron" came into general use such persons were called "defectives." They were these- who, if left to shift for themselves, usually became "liabilities ts society." Figuring from statistics gathered by army draft boards the slate association estimates that there are 45,000 mental defectives?morons?in New York state today. This would indicate, says the report, that one person in every 250 iB mentally deficient and incapable of passing sound judgments as to what is right or wrong. Of this number, 5,200 are in state institutions; 500 are in colonies attached to such institutions; and 7,500 are enrolled in special classes in public schools. This leaves 31,000 without any special supervision?at large in all walks of life. Describing the defective, the charities association says: "He is often unable to adjust himself to permanent employment and is habitually changing his job. He 13 tremendously responsive to suggestion and is thus particularly suscepiikU xi? ?2 ?: 1 ?-ii ' iiuie iu me criminal luiiui'iire oi omers. "Nearly all the attempts at assassination of prominent men in recent years and of criminal assaults with a sexual phase have been the work of mental deficients. A moron killed President McKinley and another tried to kill Roosevelt. A moron tried to kill Mayor Mitchell and shot Corpo ration Counsel Polk. Mayor Gaynor was shot by another defective." There is a distinct difference between mental deficiency and insanity, it is pointed out. They have little in common. Insanity is a mental disuse which is curable in at least 25 percent of cases and- preventable in 40 percent. A moron or mental - defective is a person who definitely lacks brain capacity. The condition usually is inherited and cannot be cured, for, say ! the psychiatrists, "Science cannot |{ add what nature has omitted." In ^ other words, an adult moron is just a man or* woman with the brain of a ^ child. <- < The schools are considered the 4 best sorting pen for the discovery of < the defectives. There he automati- < eally is separated from the children ^ of normal intelligence. Perhaps he progresses to the sixth grade without * displaying any lack of power to ab- 4 sorb knowledge. Then he falls be- i hind. He doesn't seem able to learn < any more; his classmates go on, while ^ he remains, vainly trying to absorb his lessons, but without success. Should he continue in school at this 4 time the chances are he will become < an incorrigible?the sort of over- * grown bully who far outstrips his playmates in size and strength, but who is a dwarf in tt classroom. Or if he leaves School he is apt to join the class of easily-led criminals, unguided by any sense of right or wrong, wholly irresponsible, who go from misdemeanor to felony and thence to the electric chair or to Mattewan. At the period of arrested development psychiatrists claim to be able to pick out the defectives by their reaction to certain simple questions, included in the Binet-Simon measuring scale of intelligence. In the vocabulary test the examiner may say: "I want to find out how many words you. know. Listen, and when I say a word you tell me what it means." The word "nerve" comes early in this test. Although it is understood that to define the physical organism is a matter for the adult mind, it has been found that the normal child of eight years will. answer with, "You've got a nerve," or something similar which is scored as a normal reaction. Another test is known as "Detecting Absurdities.' Here the examine: may say, "Yesterday the. police^ found the body of a girl cut into 18 pieces. They believe she killed, herself." The sub-normal, the .defective or "moron" will probably react with this exclamation: "Think she killed her elf! They know she did!" Or may be, 'She was a foolish girl to kill } herself. No girl would do that unless she was crazy." Where do the defective come from? Are they just accident* of birth? The . answer ot this question is best Illustrated in the story of the- KallAbout 1770 Martin KnUpkak, a young man of good family who was earring in George.
