A RACE OF GIANTS
Americans Of Future Will BE Stronger
Physically and Mentally.

According to DR.. w. ]. MCGEE of
st. Louis the American of the future
Will be taller man, stronger. more
intellectual. more humanitarian and
Will live longer than the American OF
today. DIR. Niece read paper
entitled. "The American of To-mor.

MCGEE, In support of his contention.
every babe born lives on an average
OF 80 years. Half n century ago the
average life was % years. and 100
years back the span of life was "a to
20 years, thus showing that the lon
gevity is increasing
In the opinion of Dr. MCGEE. John
ID. Rockefeller is typical of the
American of tomorrow. He describ-
ed Mr.. Rockefeller as 1.-The incarna-
ton of concentrated effort" and de-
clared that from an anthropological
point of view he undoubtedly repre-
scented the coming American. He con
sidered Mr.. Rockefellar's great
wealth as only incidental and said

Women Who Will Gamble.

The most difficult gambling to keep
in check both in Singapore and Pen.
ang is gambling among Straits-born
women of all classes from the highest
downward. Frequent complaints are
received from husbands whose wives
have lost heavily. and it is known that
there are five lotteries operating more
or less daily in Singapore which are
almost exclusively supported by
''nonias." Education may possibly do
something to stop this vice among the
Straits-born ladies, but it must be
confessed that its effect in that di-
rection on their husbands and brothers
is but small.-South China Post.

Indians Word Mas Good.

Indian devotion to a pledge is not a
myth; it survives to this day. At the
May term of court at Vintia Charles
Boiling pleaded guilty before Judge
Parker at Sallisaw. He was sentenc-
ed to GO days in the county Jail and
to pay fine of sos. He asked to be
permitted to stay out of Jail and make
a crop in order to provide for his
family, and Judge Parker granted the
request, releasing Boiling, who is a
Cherokee, on n promise to appear at
Vinita on December l to begin his
sentence. Boiling was waiting at the
Court House one morning last week
when the doors were opened and is
now I'm jail serving his sentence. He
says his crop is gathered, and his
family is provided for during the
winter Kansas City Journal.

Most Famous Clock Eaoea.

The art of clockmakihg has achiev.
ed many remarkable triumph5 during
many centuries. Sometimes IL is a
clock wonderful for the completely
of its movements and its busy popu-
lation of automatons that attracts our
admiration. like that i'm the cathedral
of Strassburg; at other times the i'm
meDse size of the machinery and the
dials excites establishment This Is
the case with the celebrated clock I'm
the tower Of the Church at ST. Rom.
bant at Mochlin. A writer in La Ma.
ture thinks this clock possesses the
largest dials that exist I'm the world.
There are four OF them. one on each
side Of the great square tower. and
their extreme diameter is nearly 37Ih
feet The figures showing the hours
are nearly 61a feet high. and the hands

The Fate of the chamols.

Switzerland is awakening to the
necessity of government intervention
If the chamois is not to become as
extinct in the Alps as the buffalo in
America. In the Grisons the killing
of chamois was prohibited last year.
Shooting licenses have been issued
this year, but next year again will be
a close year, and so will 1909 Police
reports show that between 1875 and
1905 the number of chamois slaugh-
tered in the canton reached the huge
total Of 34,S0S. If the 5000 channels
still surviving in the Grisons are to be
preserved, and if the animal is not to
be lost in other cantons, something
more than alternate close years will
be needed. When the sportsman took
the risks of the rocks and went to
shoot his chamois for food where he
found him there was no danger OF ex-
termination. 1t is the safer but more
cruel system of "drives" which caus-
es whole herds to be shot down at
once.-New York Tribune.

Christmas in January.

In remote places in Eastern Ken
lucky they still observe January 6, or
Old Christmas, never having changed
the calendar. Their ancestors came
from England about the middle of the
18th century, just when the change
was being made there. They have
been shut in here for these $50 years,
with almost no communication with
the outside world and have learned
nothing of changes.-Travel Maya

A Mirncle of Chance

Steam and electricity have wrought
no more spectacular miracles than in
the handling of cargoes on the great
lakes. One of the first cargoes or iron
ore ever mined in the Lake Superior
region was trundled aboard a little
schooner about so years ago. Four
days were required to put 800 tons
aboard her. A week was required to
get the ore out of her. Two seasons
ago the great steel steamer Augustus
B Wolyin loaded more than 10000
tons of ore in 50 minutes, or in less
than an hour and a half And this
huge cargo was jerked out of her i'm
little more than four hours. -Outing

AUTO DRIVERS
MUST BE TAGGED
POLICE DEPARTMENT READY
TO BEGIN CRUSADE
ONLY OWNERS ARE EXEMPTED
BY LAW
chauffeurs Who Appear on Streets
Without Proof That They Have
Obtained Licenses Likely
to Be Arrested

The law requiring every person VINO
drives an automobile to wear chauf-
feur's license tag, with the single ex-
ception of the owner of the machine.
who is not required to take out a
license, will be enforced in Los Angeles
within a few days.
At present hardly one chauffeur in
ten can be found wearing license tag,
and wholesale arrests probably will be
made before the public becomes con-
vinced that the authorities are in
earnest in their determination to en-
force this law.
Police Justice Frederickson yesterday
said that sufficient warning should be
given, but II Is probable that the motor
cycle squad will begin to make arrests
early in the week.
The law reads that the owner of an
automobile which is used for rental
purposes cannot drive the car without
license. Only private machines are
exempt. The penalty for the first Of
Tense is fine of not less than So nor
more than $1OO, and for the second
violation a fine of not less than $50 nor
more than $500.
A registered chauffeur's license may
be obtained from the secretary of state
on payment of $2
The following were fined in Justice
F'rederickson's court yesterday for vio-
lations of the speed ordinance: W. b.
Wheeler, $50; w. Couverly, motorcycle,
