DR.. Gilbert Talks
OF the Unemployed

In the round table discussion Sat
urday afternoon DR.. Gilbert treated
the unemployment problem, its caus-
es and remedies. He described the
general features of our economic sys-
tenn responsible for the evil of irreg-
ular employment, such as expanding
markets, changes in fashions, and the
growing interdependence of indus
tries. Special reasons for unemploy-
ment are the introduction of machin-
cry demanding industrial changes and
redistribution of the working force,
and the frequent recurrence Of eco
nomic crises followed by years of in
dustrial depression. Even in normal
times, the speaker contended, the evil
OF unemployment Is preesnt because
men are incapacitated for useful SER
vice and rendered unfit to hold per-
manent place in our economic system
by habits OF dissipation and indul-
gence in strong drink. DR.. Gilbert
recommended as a remedy improved
Industrial education and regulation
of the liquor traffic. AS remedy
for irregular employment resulting
from maladjustment between labor
supply and demand and the conges-
tion Of the labor market by influx OF
immigrants, the speaker endorsed a
plan for statewide system Of labor
exchanges kept in communication
with each other and placed at the
service Of the unemployed anywhere
in the state.

THE AUTOMOBILE BACK.
Medical Advice Showing How II May
Be Avoided.


The automobile is coming into such
general use that any advice to Its
users is of general interest.
A great many people In cranking
their cars strain their back or drop q
stitch" and If this is once started 1t
usually happens more easily another
time. Many people. after riding for
any length of time. are tired In the
back when they get out. Ii this Is
kept up the pain or weakness in
creases until many times the person is
laid up with what is called lumbagO or
rheumatism Both of these conditions
are commonly due to the wrong way
of using the muscles of the back.
In cranking keep the back straight.
like "the oarsman's back" Bend from
the hips. swapping the crank over by
Strengthening at knee and hip. but do
not bend ut the middle or the waist
line.
In sitting In the car keep the back
straight also. Get the hips well back
against the back OF the seat. and, If
the upholstery make the shoulders
droop put a robe a cushion. book or
anything at the hollow Of the back to
prevent this. Do not slouch In the
seat and do not sit ON the lower part
Of the spine. This reverses the normal
curves Of the spine and must mean
strain. with at times much cripping.- -

CAUGHT BY A POSTAL TRAP.
Tho "Twopenny Detective" Is often
Employed In England.

Detectives, lawyers clerks and 9th
ers often experience great difficulty In
obtaining an undoubted specimen Of
certain PERSONS signature. In one
case recourse had to be had to mar
riage register. In another the only
signature procurable was ON the fly
leaf OF book which the suspect had
presented to a relative, and only two
d. three years ago testimonial to a
sea captain was brought into court,
because among the signatures to II
was one for which the police had long
hunted In vain.
One of the most common eXpedients
:esorted to for overcoming this diff
Guilty Is employing the 'twOpenny de-
tective"-that Is. sending a registered
letter to the person whose signature
is wanted And this is frequently
successful. Thinking the postal packet
contains money or yaluables the nd
dressee unsuspectingly signs the re
ceipt only to discover that inside the
envelope there is nothing but fax
ed letter.
This trap once caught an anonymous
letter writer-a woman who. on be-
ing interrogated shortly before. had
declared that she could not write, and
whose friends believed her to be H.
literate. 1t was, in fact mainly in
strumental in getting her six months
Imprisonment.

It's a Regular JeI<ylI and Hyde Sort Of
Reptile.

IT'S Regular JekylI and Hyde Sort Of
| Reptile.
Persons Of only ordinary powers of
observation know that tadpoles become
| frogs. This process of transformation
| is one of the most interesting Of the
many curious things that go on about
us every day. The case Of the tadpole
| and frog is mentioned that the reader
| may more easily understand a reptile
that is found In southern California
and Mexico.
There are several varieties Of sala-
mandrlne reptiles In North America, all
of them perfectly harmless. One In
particular lives In the desert regions Of
the southwest The Mexicans call 1t
the axolotl 1t is perhaps the most
curious of all reptiles. 1t is a light
gray or pure white translucent reptile
about seven inches in length. 1t lives
in lakes and ponds, breathes through
gills Just back Of the front legs, has
long tail and caudal fins above and
below that extend its entire length and
four stout legs. with which It creeps
about the bottom Of the pond.
In the region where these reptiles
live long continued droughts are COM
mon. Then the ponds and lakes dry
up. AS the water falls evaporation be-
gins Instinct warns the axolotl that
there will shortly be no water, and he
makes preparation for terrestrial
life. The gils disappear and he comes
to the surface for air Just as tadpole
does when he Is about to become a
frog. AS the water grows shallower
the axolotl loses portion Of his tail.
sheds his caudal fms. changes from
white to brown with gray spots and
when the water is quite gone takes to
the sand hills and becomes a spotted
salamander.
The most remarkable thing about 1t
all is that when the water supply is
not exhausted he lives his entire life
as an axolotl and never tries to become
a spotted salamander BY experiment
tation an axOlotl has been made to un-
dergo almost complete transformation
and then has been turned back into an
axolotl again.-Youth's Companion.
