"About as Terrible as a Kitten" Yet
Praised by English Observers.
1t was in a school at Salt Lake City,
Utah, early in 1913, that l CHANGED
upon Mrs. Wells, the first American to
conceive the idea of adding women to
the police force and the first woman to
be so appointed. When l was told of
her profession my Imagination flew to
the typical figure Of a policeman in
London, and l pictured her a strapping
Amazon in uniform, baton at waist.

boots so familiar to us in the stage

When l encountered my first police.
woman l vas disillusioned. found
her not an amazon, but a slightly
built active woman a little over five
feet in height. Her age was between
thirty-fve and forty. She had a pleas,
ant. firm voice and bright blue eyes,
which seemed to me to be more than
usually observant. AS one newspaper
described her, she was "about as for.
midable as a kitten"
She had come to Salt Lake City at
the request of the civic authorities to
tell them Of her duties, as they were
considering the question of appointing
women to the police force there. He,

Simple Heart Test Used In Administer
ing Anaesthetics.

Simple Heart Test Used In Administer
ing Anaesthetics.
DR.. w. A. Schtange describes in the
Roussky Vratch an easy test which he
has devised to determine whether a pa
tient who has been told hat he must
undergo surgical treatment is in con-
dition to survive the administration of
an anaesthetic. II the patient is unable
to hold his breath for twenty seconds
the indications are that his heart is
so weak that he could not be subjected
to the strain likely to be imposed by
the a~naesthetic.
General anaesthesia is particularly
dangerous to persons suffering from
myocardial changes, a condition which
does not permit Of ready recognition.
For this reason the simple test sug-
gested by DR.. W. A. Schtange will be
welcome by the anaesthetist if extend
ed experience should verify the doctors
assertions.
The test is based on the fact that a
healthy person can suspend breathing
from thirty to forty seconds. This. the
author states, depends not on the lung
capacity, but on the vigor of the heart
muscle. In persons with weak hearts
the time is shortened to twenty or
even ten seconds. The patient, seated
in q chair, is told to take a moderately
deep inspiration and with the mouth
closed to hold his breath as long as he
can. The shorter the time the patient
can suspend breathing the greater the
danger Of an anaesthetic, the latter be-
ing contaminated if the time is less
than twenty seconds.-New York Medi-
cal Journal.

Clearing Themselves.

Among the many means adopted for
expressing grief upon the death Of a
relative perhaps as interesting a one
as any is that met with in the neigh
borhood Of the Tully river, in Queens
land. Here two, three or four of the
deceased friends or relatives will squat
close together, with hands on each 9TH
er's shoulders, bewailing for hours at
q time the loss Of the dear departed.
It is not the virtues of the latter that
are in any way extolled, however.
What these mourners are really taking
care to d. M 10 show that they and the
deceased were always good friends.
Their object in all this is to prove to
the outside public that they have had
nothing to do with the encompassing
Of the death.-Wide World Magazine.

Vast Forests Of Alaska.

We hear much concerning the rapid
disappearance of our forests. The vast
timbered area of the eastern and cen
trail portions of the United States Is
fast being transformed into a woodless
country, becoming very thickly popu-
lated, and doubtless will lever grow
much timber again. In Alaska, which
is n Of our territories. the timber
area is estimated to be somewhere near
80 per ZEN of the entire land, and
there is considerably more than 100,-
COCOON acres Of good woodland, with
