The injection forms small hump, which does not en- danger the persons health, but which he keeps all his life and which looks like natural excrescence.
 According to the doctors scheme regular sign language could be ar ranged. It might be agreed the world over that the right shoulder blade be reserved for operations. It could be divided into three parts. The upper might be reserved for humps denoting very dangerous" the mid die for dangerous" and the lower for less dangerous"

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April T. The withdrawal of Dr. David Jayne Hill. American ambassador 10 Ger many, from the field of diplomacy is resulting a good deal of spec ulation as 10 the cause.
 Dr Hills resignation comes as a clap of thunder in a clear sky II anyone outside of Dr. Hill himself had knowledge of his intention. it was the State department. with which he has been having considerable cor. rcSpOndenCe of late.
 II i5 insisted that Dr Hill retires not on account of weariness with the work of diplomacy. which, if one judge from his daily social engage mcntS and the manner in which he filled them. he has been enjoying but because Secretary P. C Knox, his chief. gave him to understand that there was too much going on that he did not observe. or, al least. that he did not communicate To Secre. Dary KnoX's department
