Kvery German who makes any intellectual pretension at all feels that he must have his "Weltanschauung," or icw of life, his theory as to the government of the universe and man's place in it. Acting in this spirit a small coterie of professors decided to hold this unique convention an.l rea.l papers on the different aspects of the philosophy of life. Papers were read on "The Principal Yiews of Life in the Leading Civilized Nations and Germany's Cub tural Mission" and "The Yiews of Life of Our Classical Writers."

7 With an Irish father and a French mother, anybody could be different from other folks. There is Miss Beatrice Irwin, for instance. And as if that were not enough, she was born somewhere in the Himalayas. Miss Irwin is a color scientist. Other people tell you that they are "color mad." She hclieves'tdic is color ssure.

Jshe has studied color for years and she says she has proved some definite things about the psychology of color. She has written a book called "The New Science of Color." In her apartment in New York city she has surrounded herself 'with interesting color schemes. Here she composes color plays, for the dreams of a color theater. Here she teaches students of color until the time when her other dream of a color college shall be realiezd. "Almost everybody recognizes that thpre is a psychology of color," she says.

"We know, in a haphazard way, that certain colors have certain effects on our mental attitudes, People describe one room as cheerful and another as But they don't know vhy this is so. They have a vague idea that every red room is cheerful. They don't know that some tones of red are quieting, others irritating, others even depressing. Definite Scale Worked Out. "I have been experimenting for years to find out the effect of different colors and I have finally worked out a definite scale.

It is in three divisions; physical, mental and spiritual colors. And each of these has three subdivisions; sedatives, recuperatives and stimulants. Here is the scale: I'HYSirAL Lfml tiisr rrnni Tf-rm toliten Hrown Turiinoiw KtiranSsnt nntlion mfntat. Ki'irtnTAi.

They are restful, quieting. The recuperative and stimulant colors have more in common, but the recuperative are fuller bodied than the One might express it by saying the recuperatives are more like, food; the stimulants more like well, say a cocktail. "There are only seven colors in each division of mv scale. Xaturallv, that is only a basis on which to work, for me mrmDer of possiuie color tones is incredible. All of them are produced by combinations of blue, yellow and red, but these combinations arc almost numberless.

Doctors Are Interested. "In my Bcale, for example, there are only four blues. But one might produce 40 or 400 without exhausting tho possibilities. "This bewildering variety of color tones therefore must be studied scientifically if they are to be properly classified. I know mind you! I say 1 know that would be a practical advantage to every one of us to do that very thing.

"I'm not interested only in the aesthetic, side of color. It's the practical value of color science that want to bring home to people. Could anything be of more practical interest to ns than our health, our houses and our clothes! Well, color has a profound influence on our health and in our clothes and houses. "The general public has no idea of the extent to which phyicians are experimenting in the therapeutic value of color. Some of the leading men in this country and abroad are working seriously on the subject.

The time is coming when tho pioneers in color theraphy will be just as much honored ss tho pioneers in nny other branch of science. Dr. Ptarr 'White in California, for example, is diagnosing and treating diseases by means of color screens. Wliat Preferences Indicate. "Most persons have a decided color preference.

They say: 'Oh, blue is mv Or green, or whatever it may be. But they don understand why they prefer blue or green. They haven't the remotest idea whether they are taking a stimulant or a sedative; whether they are whip ing up their physical nature or unduly exciting thpmselves mentally. "Thev ought to be taught that there is a general iaw at the back of color psvchology; the law that a preferred color nearly always represents some quality or quantity in which we are lacking. "There was the recent case of a woman writer.

She looked at my scale, and when nhe saw olive green given as the mental sedative, she exclaimed, '1 lot he olive green! "What colors do you I asked. "She thought a moment.

Kansas City, Jan.

7. Investigations by Miss Tiera Farrow, Kansn City's first woman Divorce Proctor, have convinced her that the affinity, the mother in law and the corner saloon do tint play the most potent unrt in causing unhappy homes. The trouble, tdic beirve, is to be found in a false ideal of married life. Her inquiry, she says, has developed: Hint because girls dream of movie heroes with wavy Pair ajid caressing eyes as husbands, hey decide mar-inge is a failure when their plumber or carpenter spouses pre commonplace. That becau-e her ideal of married life, born of novel reading, as a rose garden of love does not come tree, the yoiintr wife grows discontented and fails to make a success of her job a home maker.

"Of course the fault is not all wilh the woman," said Miss Farrow.
