THE ARMY OF UNMARRIED
IN THE UNITED STATES

According to census bureau informa-
ton, 100000 of our population are
unmarried, which means tnirty-nine of
every 100 men. The number divides
thus: Men of 20 years of age and up
wards, 100000; women Is and up
ward, 100000. At least 100000 of
these men are capable of assuming the
responsibilities of matrimony. 1t is
argued that married men live longer
and better lives than unmarried. on
the whole, and surely any woman in
the land will tell you that the fair
are always fairer if welded.
Since the married state is the nor
NAL condition of life, perhaps it may
not be necessary to resort to statistics
to prove that the married man as a
rule lives more evenly, more soberly,
and, therefore, better than the unmar-
ried. When the census bureau official
attempts, however, to lure men into
marriage with the argument that
"there was never a time when the
comforts and Injuries of life were so
easily within reach of all as now,o he
must TAXI his own case and fight it
out.
In all seriousness, as most people
realize, this question of the ease with
which the comforts and Injuries of
life are reached enters into the
economy of the matrimoniallv inclined
man. Seventeen million unmarried
men and women may be too many for
our nation, and there is small doubt
that the number would be less if more
men could only seen the practical side
of that sweet old theory that 1.-TWO

BURNED SKIN SAID TO
BE A DEADLY POISON

For many years the deaths which re-
suited from severe burns were at
tributed to shock. Such burns are
among the commonest accidents that
befall workmen, and their treatment
has been a grave problem with the
medical profession. Women and child
rem, too, because of the flimsy and in
flammable character of their clothing,
very often are victims of such burns.
DR.. Pels-Leusden made some re-
searches upon the theory that these
burns produced other injurious effects
in addition to the shock to the nervous
system. His theory was that the sud
den destruction of the skin generated
a VIOLENT poison which was absorbed
by the blood and this played a leading
part in causing death. He tried ex-
periments in which he inserted por-
lions of freshly burned skin into the
flesh of animals where they could be
rapidly absorbed. These animals at
once presented the symptoms that they
would have shown if their skin had
been burned.
This discovery seems likely to revo-
lutionize the surgical treatment of
burns. Instead of merely applying
germicides and excluding the air by
soothing oils and powders, surgeons
o place the patient at once under
an anesthetic and serpe away all the
burned tissue. The exposed surface is
then dressed with absorbent Gotten to
take up the discharges, and the heart
and kidneys ire stimulated to throw
off whatever poison has been absorbed
before the operation could be per
formed.@The Worlds Work.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 16.-A bill
has been introduced in Minnesota
which will make intermarriages
between negroes and white per-

years in prison is provided for
violations.
The most sweeping clause of
the bill is that any such marriage
contracted outside the state will
not be recognized. as legal in Min

subject to the same penalty.
The marriage Of Jack Johnson,

members there are in the society. 1t Is
not for sale on any newsstand, and for
that reason 911a per cent of the numbers

Magazine now has the largest circulation
of any strictly nOn-fiction magazine III
the world The success of the magazine
is the best indication of the growth of the
society.
The National Geographic Society was
founded in a rather humble way twenty
five years ago.
1t had about 200 members. and mem
bership was limited to expert geograph.
ers. Within ten years it had enlisted
nearly 1000 persons, but even with this
success, the governors believed there
was a greater field for it.
It's object is the collection and DIFF
fusion of geographic knowledge, and as
geography includes in it's scope nearly
all the other sciences. it might have
been stated the gathering and diffusion
of scientific knowledge. With its mem
bership limited to sciaptists, only half
of it's purpose was accomplished. The
knowledge was correctly collected, but
it was not getting the circulation de-
sired.

When the heirs of Gardiner Green
Hubbard built the Hubbard Memorial
Hall there was little to indicate that
the society would ever become so great
an organization that more space would
be required than this hall afforded. In
deed, the Hubbard Memorial Hall was
not designed as an office building, but
rather place where interesting geo
graphical Information might be deposited
and where lectures on scientific subjects
might be enjoyed by the members
But the growth of the society has been
so rapid that not only has the entire
Hubbard Hall been filled with work
desks and clerks, but two branch offices
