SMOKE-CLOUDED
BRAINS OPENED

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov, Sin order
to get the smoke out Of the brains
OF the rising generation of this vi
entity, surgery is 10 be resortcd to,
II a small boy is little slow in his
studies, instead OF being whipped he
will be sent 10 the hospital, his head
chopped open, the difficulty removed
and be sent back to school,
If the first operation is not effec-
tive the child will be sent back as
long as he can stand It, or the city
can pay the expense. The advocation
Of this innovation was provided for
at the meeting Of the Civic club,
Councils will be petitioned TO pro-
vide the means to settle for head
splitting operations.
For several years past there has
been complaint going the rounds
OF this vicinity that children are be-
hind in studies because Of physical
ailments. This has been the espe-
cial theory Of Miss Kate Mcknight,
the only woman member Of the Allie
gheny board Of school controllers,
In order to demonstrate this theo-
ry the hearsay testimony of promi-
uent surgeons has been poured
monthly into the cars OF the con-
trollers and the members Of the Civic
club by Miss Mcknight Now II
councils will furnish the money 1t is
up to the children to bare their
heads to the gentle incision OF the
AK or forever remain dumb.
Under the new order OF things 1t
is planned that after the smoke has
been removed with the tendency to
emulate a few Pittsburg folks, who
have moved to New York. II may be
thought proper to fix the cerebrum
in such shape that the city of steel
will be the abiding place of all the
great. the good and tho wise, and
in this way IS the former reputation
OF the city for decency to be rehs'
bilitated. n -
