Tommy was in trouble. Tommy was

ground too hard when he fell out Of tha
apple tree. He was lying on his white
pillow and dreaming Of the good times
the boys were having outside when the
door opened. and to his great amuse-
ment In walked Jack. the old rooster.
He was carrying a big book under his
wing, and he came straight for the
bed. Tommy felt like crying out with
mingled fear and surprise az he saw
Jack hop up on the table beside him,
but bis voice seemed to be stuck some
where down In his stomach. Jack said

Protesting against attempts to mis-
represent the attitude Of the Society
For the Prevention Of Abuse In Animal
Experimentation, Mr. T. P. Bellamy,
counsel for the society, denies that
It ever proposed the prohibition OF
%rivisection. The society stands, he
says, upon precisely the platform
where Herbert Spencer, the greatest
Of English scientists, stood when In
1895 he, with nearly 200 Of the most
prominent physicians In England and
In this country, signed u statement In
which he said:
I'VE believe. therefore, that the
common interests Of humanity and
science demand that ~viyisection, like
the STUDY Of human anatomy in the
d~issectins room, should be brought un-
der the cire%t supervision. and control
Of the state. Tie practice, whether In
public or In private, should be restrict
ed by law to certain definite objects
and surrounded by every possible safe.

PIONEER AMERICAN LINEN
MILLS BRANCHING OUT,

Huge Plant Now Planned Made Necss-
sary by Ono Years Development OF
New Industry.
Impressive evidence Of the progress
Of the pioneer American Linen mills
established at North Brookfeld. Mass.
about a year ago Is found In the plans
Just completed for extending the plant.
Beginning with limited capacity in q
min that had to. be adapted by degrees
to the require nents Of the Oxford Liner
mills, the business has grown to such
an extent that plans have been drawn
for half a dozen new buildings, un
larger than the present main mill.
The plans call for an addition dou-
BILE the size Of the present main mill
a. new stock, storage and shipping
building weave shed, "oxolint" fac
tory, bleach house and fiber preparing
house. The two latter buildings will
be In the center Of a quadrangle form
ed by the other buildings mentioned.
An the. buildings will be Of re-en-
forced concrete. The new weave shed
Is to be a two story building, provided
with overhead lighting by means OF q
saw tooth roof containing 375 sky
lights. The power plant will be To-
Gated wen away from the mill building
proper, all the machinery IN, which
will be. electrically operated. A stock
issue Of about $165,000 made In con-
nection with the beginning Of these
extensions was all taken within q
week, largely by original shareholders
In the mills.
The Oxford mill was the first es-
adjustment in the United States to
undertake the manufacture Of linen
products from fiber prepared by the
Nudge process. This accomplishes In
q few hours the work that abroad re-
quires many weeks. Judging from
the extensions to be carried out by the
Oxford mills, there seems to be no
further reason to question the I'M
mense success Of the undertaking.
