Necks and Legs of Animals.


 With few exceptions there Is a mark ed equality between the length of the necks and of the legs of both birds and quadrupeds, and whether they be long or short is determined chiefly by the place where the animal must go for its food. This is especially noticeable in beasts that feed constantly upon grass, in which case the neck has just a slight advantage in that 1t cannot hang perpendicularly down. Croco- diles, lizards and fish have practically no necks. Fowls, that feed in the water also offer an example of this correspondence between the members, with the exception of swans and geese and some Indian birds, which gather their food from the bottom of pools and must have long necks for that pur pose, while the short legs make it more convenient for them to swim Dietetic c-' ---~'nric Gazette.

HARRY THAW TO FINANCE PROBE
 AT WATERMAN
Especial from Unitec Press. ]

tSpecial from Unitec Press.) /
 New York, March Harry K. Thaw confined in the State ayslum for the criminal insane at Matteawan, Is financing a movement for an inves- t1gation of conditions there which may result in general scandal affecting the management of the State insane asylums.
 Through Thaw's efforts. attorneys have been engaged to present to Gov ernOr Dix allegations against the man. agement of the Matteawan asylum which include maltreatment of pa tients. the holding of sane persons in cause they might talk if they got out. beating of patients almost to death and serving improper food. Norman A. Lees, a former patient, who is aiding Thaw. has retained law yerS to apply to the Supreme court for writs to get 20 patients now in the asylum out of it on allegations that they are cured.
 According to Dr. Lamb. superinten- dent of Matteawan. the entire pro- ceedings are being brought by the Thaw family so that they can have Harry transferred to another institu- tion. At Matteawan Thaw is car ried on the books as hopelessly in- sane. His actions have led ,he doc tors. according to Lamb. to curtail many of his priveleges and the family resent this. They want him sent to the BinghaTnton asylum. where. 1t is said, he would be favored and might later be certified as cured and re- leased.
 The outcome of the entire matter will be a sweeping investigation by the Governor. it was said today of allegations against the asylum author ities and Thaw and those associated with him will be called by him to tell their story

ARGENTINA HAS FREE ACCESS TO OUR NAVY
 SECRETS AND DESIGNS

 Washington, March Freely admit was made by which the United States and Argentina exchanged naval ir1- formation. Secretary of the Navy Meyer and Secretary of State Knox yesterday began preparing their an- swers to the LaFollette Senate resolu- tiations by which Argentina received plans for two ships from America.
 Meyers statement will show that United States naval officers were given the privilege of, visiting the Argentina navy yards. it is understood. at all times and any new device is to be available to them besides information regarding plans and armament. In return Argentine officers were given permission to visit any battleships building for the United States in either of the yards in which the Ar ed. It will be pointed out by Meyer. in his statement that the Argentine ships being planned more than a year later than any United States ships building in the two yards. will embody more advanced ideas than any bat to be larger. more powerful and more heavily armed than any ship the navy possesses or Is building. The Sec retary will take the stand that our naval officers will profit by the ar engagement.
 Meyer will also declare. it is ex- pected, that he officially knows noth- ing of the source of the plans for the Argentine ships. He will deny that they were drawn by United States naval constructors. He will say that Francis Bowles. formerly rear admiral and chief constructor in the navy, now head of the Fore River Company. as- serts that the plans were drawn by his company.
 The S.ate Department is preparing an account of the negotiations by which the Argentine Naval Commis- sion and American contractors were brought together. Both statements are expected to go to the Senate

WHERE VACCINATION HAS
 CRUSHED OUT SMALLPOX
Medical Record, Feb. 25.)

 The Southern Californian Practition- CT draws attentiOnto the reports on smallpox from the delegates to the Fourth International Sanitary Confer ence of the American Republics, held some time ago in San Jose de Costa Rica. According to the testimony of several delegates. notably from Pan anna. Honduras, and Costa Rica, in wh ch places compulsory vaccination has long been in vogue. smallpox has been conspicuous chiefly by it's ab. sence, and when some cases of the dis ease have occurred they have been in- variably of a mild character. On the contrary in Chile and San Salvador, in the former of which vaccination .is not compulsory, and in the latter has not been long enforced, the dis ease has been extensively prevalent and the fatalities numerous. For in- stance, the delegate from Chile stated that smallpox has been the infecto- contagious disease that has done the most damage in our country. During the present year from January 1 to Mo- venaber 30, in Chile, we have had in the single lazaretto in San Jose B. 800 cases, with 3,071 deaths, while the cases treated in homes have been in- calculable.'
 A recent report to The Sun states that after many months of effort the Republic of Guatemala has been freed from smallpox through the very effec- tual expedient of vaccinating every in- dividual in the country. The whites have always submitted voluntarily to the inoculation, but the Indians have refused by reason of their supersti- tious fears. Recently the disease be- came epidemic, and the President of the Republic was persuaded to issue an edict making vaccination compulsory. The work has been continued for three months, the soldiers concentrating the Indians, and every physician in the country being called on to help. As a result. the disease which has been the scourge of the nation has been en- tirely stamped out. and for thes first time the ports of Guatemala are now free from all contagious diseases and passenger travel is without restric- tion.
 Evidence of this description should be spread far and wide, so that the general public may learn from unim- peachable sources the value of vaccin- ation. Skepticism concerning the mer- it's of vaccination appears to be grow ing in this country. and it is there fore we'll that the matter should be thoroughly ventilated.

is spread far and wide throughout the
state, being represented in nearly
every village and hamlet, and yet it
appears that unless a Jew be a resi-
dent of the larger cities, his duty to
his co-religionists is absolutely forgot
ten True in local matters we need
have no cause to complain, but we do
believe that in smaller communities
where our people live that something
should be expected. They are enjoy
ing the liberty and prosperity which
is prevalent in the state and surely
can not by reason of their residence
ignore and neglect their duty. But
visit them, make inquiries and you are
told that there is no reason for them
to assist or aid, but when overtaken
by grief and sorrow they know but
one place to turn.
1t behooves every one, no mater
where he may reside, to carry part of
the burden and forget not higher duty.
Let each give serious thought to what
he is doing and how little he has real
ly done in the past We appeal for
an awakening of Jewish spirit within
each individual no matter whore he
resides or what the limitations might
be- If he can not attend meetings by
reason of distance and residence, let
him at least perform his duty by join
ing organizations in close proximity to
the town in which he resides, in order
that he might be a part Of people
who are aiming to better conditions
and protecting and aiding and relieV-
ing those who are less fortunate We
ask not for a protesting of Judaism,
for all do that, but rather plead for
the living of a true Jewish life.
