ing in deformed mouths and in
many cases hideous faces. This con-
dition of the mouth is declared to
result in poor nutrition with the re-
sultant incomplete physical and mem
tai development.
"Crooked teeth. are bound to get
better attention in the future" says
one scientist who has studied the eff
fects of this type of deformity.
cit is true that irregular and pro-
truding teeth make a youngster not
only backward but morbid as we'll.
People who are trying to help chill
dren, realize that they can get SYM
pathy for club-footed child much
quicker than for one with a facial
deformity, yet irregular teeth are
bound to retard the growth and the
development mentally and physical
ly. Notice the little girl with bold
-tusks protruding and you will always
find her at the back of the group.
From a spirit of reticenee she soon
learns to shun the company of 9TH

ETY. to be against her, she develops

Miss Mufitt had recently joined the

One prisoner, evidently man of ed

others. He rose and bowed to her
when she entered his cell, apologizing
for the poorness of his apartment.
Miss Muff1tt could not help wonder
ing how this refined man came within
the clutches of the law. In fact, as
she was leaving the cell, she said:

tressing placer"

TURN TO CRUDE-OIL ENGINES
American Manufacturers Complain
That Engineers Are Not Sufficiently
Recognizing Situation.

Notwithstanding the leading posi-
ton Of the United States in crude-oil
production, every other manufacture
ing nation in the world is far in ad-
vance of us in the manufacture and
use of crude-oil engines. Many
causes have operated to produce this
result; but whatever these causes, the
fact does no credit to American me-
chanical engineering ability and pro-
gressiveness. The Swedish Diesel
engine, which is now to be taken up
for manufacture here, has made an
excellent record in Europe, and its
builders and designers there are to
take an active interest in its manu-
facture here.
It may be, as is often claimed, that
European engineers have gone to an
extreme in the use of crude-oil en-
gines; but the steady increase in the
price of gasoline here tends to make
power users in this country also turn
more and more toward the crude-oil
engines. In the southwest and on
the Pacific coast especially there is
an enormous field for the use of
crude-oil engines, which American
manufacturers have hitherto failed
to work to its full acknowledgement
ing News.

SWINE ON RAPE PASTURAGE
One of Best Emergency Crops Grown
and viii Give Practically as Good
Results az Alfalfa.

The grower of rape should insist on
getting the Dwarf Essex, as this is the
only variety that Is suitable for hog
pasture. There Is q summer or bird
seed rape found on the market which
makes a worthless pasture and should
not be used. 1t Is possible that this
has been the cause Of this mans
troubles, writes Turner Wright in the
Farmers Mail and Breeze.
/ have used rape for several years
as pasture for both breeding and fat
tening hogs and never experienced
any difficulty in getting them to eat it.
Il hogs that are not accustomed to
rape are given no other green feed
for few days they will soon learn to
eat and relish 1t even though they are
fed liberal amount Of grain. 1t often
happens that hogs, after learning to
eat rape, prefer 1t to clover or alfalfa
that is coarse and woody. l have often
changed hogs from alfalfa to rape and
from rape to alfalfa and could see no
difference in the way they seemed to
relish these different feeds. II the
hogs are turned on the rape when 1t
Is from 10 to u inches high they will
eat it more readily than If it is more
mature.
Rape Is one Of the best emergency
forage crops we have. A good rape
pasture will give practically as good
results as alfalfa. 1t can be sown II
feed yards and lots that are used
through the winter and thus not only
furnish pasture to take the place of
shortage Of alfalfa or clover pas
ture but also provide means OF
utilizing ground that would otherwise
grow a crop of unsightly and worth
less weeds.

AEROPLANES GROW IN SIZE
Built Now 20 Carry Passengers, De-
spite the Pessimistic Warnings
of the Theorists.

Big aeroplanes are the striking de-
velopment of this year in aeronau-
tics-six-passenger, eight-passenger,
and even ten-passenger machines
having made successful flights. Many
theorists have recently declared that
there are physical limits to the size
of successful aeroplanes, and that
these limits have nearly been
reached but on the practical side the
development continues.
One Russian aviator has made
long flights with machine having a
span Of more than 100 feet. The
latest model in Wright's machines.
in contrast, has a span of only SO
feet; and the span of the high-speed
French machines is much less. The
Russian aeroplane carries ten passen-
gers, all seated comfortably in an in
closed car. Four hundred horsepower
is used to turn four propellers.
A tandem biplane recently tried
out on the Seine in France, adapted
to rise from the water, weighs more
than three tons loaded, and is driven
by three engines developing 400
horsepower. Two sets of wings have
a span of 80 feet each. Machines
are now being constructed to carry
II and Il passengers.-Saturday

FEROcICUS COW.

She was even more afraid of COWS
than most girls, SO when she spied a
placid animal recumbent under a
tree peacefully chewing its cud she at
first refused to go through the pas
ture at all. Her husband Gained her
fears to some extent and they start
ed by, when the cow slowly COM
menced to get up, hind legs first, as
they always do. At this the little
lady shrieked with terror and said:
ooh, Rob, hurry, hurry; he is get
ting ready to spring at u.s."

other member of the family had seen

a plain bear into a monstrous grizzly.
Skeptcal Dorothy, from her superior
eight years, questioning some OF his

was a grizzly at all. The convincing
rejoinder was forthcoming that while
he had been standing right across
the street from the bear he had dis
tinctly heard it grizzIe. "-Woman's
