WOMEN OBJECT TO PICTURES.

There is a library collection OF
classic pictures at Elmhurst, L. I.

all, because they think the majority
of young people who see them are
not well enough matured or edu-
Gated TO appreciate their classic val
ues. A petition is being circulated
by the ladies asking the library trus-
tees to rem ove the pictures.

A young girl, writing to me for advice,
asks how late she may with propriety stay
out in the evening when accompanied by a
male escort. | am afraid she will think
me over-strict when | say that think a
young girl who has simply gone for walk
or trolley ride with young man should
be in her home before half past ten.
Of course | realize that if she is attend
ing little party or has gone to the thea
ter, to return at the hour 1 mention would
be impossible. But in all cases a girl
should be able to reach her own home by
midnight

Each contraction of the heart, by throw
ing the contents of the left portion of the
heart into the large artery called the aorta,
causes sudden change in the fullness of
the systemic arteries, which is manifested
by dilation of these vessels. When the
finger is placed upon an artery, such as the
radial at the wrist, slight compression by
the finger enables us to detect an increased
hardness in the vessel at each heart con-
traction. 1t is this increase of hardness
which constitutes the pulse.
The amount of pressure required to
fatten the artery completely indicates in a

WHO OWNS THE TREEsp

| American and Foreign Methods of Treatment of Forests Contrasted. Freudenstadt is a town of seven thousand people in the Black Forest region of Germany. Chisholm was a town of six thousand in the Big Woods country of Minnesota.
 Every year, from the tall black pine trees which grow in ordered regimentf on the six thousand acres of publicly owned land about Freudenstadt a reg. ular crop of lumber Is cut which pays ment-mayor, aldermen, police and fire departments. And that crop will go on forever. The thrifty people of Freudenstadt may devote their whole attention to their thriving iron and chemical industries, knowing that the beautiful and beneicent forest will pay all the cost of their municipal activities.
 Every year-until this-greedy pri. vate corporations have sent their hordes into the country about Chis- holm to loot the great pine woods, leaving behind them trail of ruin and desolation and piling up the dry slashings like kindlingwood ready for the match. Every fall the patient people of Chisholm have gone to bed with the acrid smell of burning pine in their nostrils, fearing lest before they woke the forest might take its fiery revenge. Last summer 1t came For weeks thick clouds of smoke lay over the town. Then on Saturday night the hurricane of flame swept down and burned Chisholm to the ground. So sudden and dreadful was the onslaught that domestic animals dropped dead in the streets, overcome by the heat. Men carried out their sick on beds and rushed them through the smoke and flying embers to places of temporary safety. One woman died of fright. In the morning more than five hundred families were homeless.
 Freudenstadt is a town without taxes. The forest pays them. Chis- holm Is a town without homes. The forest destroyed them.
 That tells-in little-the story of the forest policy of the United States and its results, as compared with that followed in civilized countries Technical World Magazine.
