SS THE MIRROR THE MIRROR. PUBLISHED BVBRY FRIDAY AT THB - FLETCHER JOHNSTON PRESS, 123 ON- TARIO ST., STRATFORD. PHONE 115w FLETCHER JOHNSTON, EDITOR SUBSCRIPTION RATB $1.00 A YBAR Stratford, October 10, 1924 Crime Considered a Disease That nearly all crime is the re- sult of a diseased mentality is grad- ually passing from the theoretical Stage. The scientist and psychiar- . trist have been gathering 'in their _-Tesearch work evidence which veri- fies the fact that crime is the effect of a diseased brain. When this has become a recognized fact. many criminals will be treated as sick people in liospitals instead of crim- inals im prison. : 'Karly in life'? says Mrs. Mary Hamilton, one of New York's hun- dred policewomen, "childrén come within reach of the law through conditions for which they are not responsible and of. which they are the unfortutrate victims. As a matter of fact, she says that nearly all shop-lifters are women in dis- turbed circumstances, and as for adolescent children we treat them asso many chairs and tables. _ A few scientists and physicians are awake _to the need. 'Ihe whole _ thing is a medical problem, one for psychiartry and pathology, but it takes a great calamity to makea dent in*the human mind." sikalainallt? A Majestic Sign The word majestic always hada _ ring to it, but the new electric sign "just erected at the Majestic Theatre makes the word stand out most brilliantly. This scintillating and dazzling new sign should-be a sym- bol of how the qualities that this word representsshould shine inthe heart of man. No doubt the management of the new theatre -will endeavor to give the citizens entertainment that will hold up ideals on its stage which - - willcorrespond to the beauty of _ the theatre's new electric sign. _ Human Nature Much the Same "What a difference there is in the feminine sex now and the fem- inine sex of years ago," is an ex- - pression that is often heard. But human nature is pretty much the Same now as it always was. It -hasn't changed to the extent we imagine. Things have changed of course, but human qualities have changed but very little. | _ The statement,that the feminine sex have less sense now than they ever had is somewhat superficial. Girls always knew the right cue to give the opposite séx to start them on their lines. They well know there is method in their mad- ness when they do not "look too good or talk too wise." These are not the kind of girls who get the hand from the audience. The som- bre dressed and serious looking girl may be on the stage, but she is sel- some reason or another, , Hither fortunately or unfortunately men very much resemble the fish that is attracted by the bright bait, and don't youthink that they do not know that a little nonsense is an +attraction when common. sense is not a drawing card. Rosalind in Shakespeare's "As You Like It," conjured the women to kiss as many as had complexions that they liked, but today, without this conjuring to men they are mostly attracted by nice clothes, coquettish ways and complexions that please. These are the things that men are inter- and after all, what woman or girl is 'so little interested in herself who.does not like' to be admired ? It is questionable if they are any more interested in looking beautiful than being told that they look beau> tiful. Anyhow those who say that the girls today have less sense than they had years ago, will be inter- ested in reading of the find of an ancient tomb : . A number of ancient Greek tombs have recently been unearthed 'in Russia by the distinguished archae- ologist, Semenov Zusser. Among the articles found in the tombs was a stall linen bag containing a lady's mirror and believed to be the forerunner of the present-day van- ity case. In. the bag there also were a rouge stick for the lips and a charcoal pencil for the eyes. The bag placed there overtw6 thousand years ago was found together with tufts of false hair and a number of silver bracelets, earrings, beads and other jewels.

Sporting Interest The great fall sport of rugby is | evidently getting more firmly es- tablished in Stratford this year than ever before. There are two fine junior teams in the city this year. The Collegiate Institute team is en- tered in the "Wossa"' league, being grouped with Woodstock College and Woodstock Collegiate. The C.N.R. Apprentice team has been placed with St. Jerome's College, Kitchener, and Dundas. The two teams have difficult groupings in good leagues and both should pro- duce games that will be worthy of a following in the coming season. Starting at three o'clock on Sat- urday afternoon, the first O.R.F.U. game ever to be playedin Stratford will get under way at the Collegiate flats, when theC.N.R. Apprentices of Stratford, will take on the fast travelling Dundas team in the open- ing clashin the Kitchener Junior O.R.F.U. group. This is the first year that any organization in this this city outside of the Collegiate Institute, has fielded a rugby team in a good many years and it is hop- ed that the fans will support the game in this city. The Apprentices have been practising daily since. Sept. ro and are in great condition for their battle with the team from the hotbed of the great fall pas- time. + Pequeg .
