sorted out the pens to be distrib-
uted among the public writing desks
he selected fine and medium nibs.
The old hand, who superintended
the job, told him to put them an

stubs instead. Department store
letter writer's are mostly women
he said, ''and nine out of ten wom-
en- use stub pen these days. 1t is
almost impossible to get them to
write with any other kind. Every
once in awhile a new man comes
along to do the work you are doing
this morning, and he, not being un

The foot and mouth disease (epi-
zootic aptha), which has appeared
after an absence of 80 years. is prop
agated by germs and is highly conta-
gious. Persons carry the germs on
their clothing or shoes, dogs can
transport them and they can be taken
into the systems of a healthy herd
which passes over the same road
that a sick animal passed over few
hours previous. Cattle are not the
only animals subject to it, for it is
contracted by sheep, swine, horses,
poultry, and sometimes by man.
