STILL GROW ANCIENT GRAIN
Staff Of Life Made Use Of by Cave
DweIIers Is Cultivated Today In
Switzerland.

How old is bread? Disgruntled
boarders may have theories upon the
age of the particular bread served to
them, but that Is beside the question.
So long as records Of civilized man
20 back bread has been the staff of
life. 1t is somewhere in the history of
prehistoric man that man first learned
to grind his grain. make dough and
bake it on hot stones.
In the time Of neolithic man, when
one branch of humanity for defense
drove piles In the edges of Swiss lakes
and built huts on their tops, bread was
made. That much at least is certain.
These stone age progressives had
learned to reap grain and probably to
cultivate it in rude way. They DOS
sessed wheat Of several varieties. bar.
ley, rye and other kinds. Curiously
enough, two Of these prehistoric yarie-
ties are still cultivated In Switzerland
not far from where the lake dwellers
lived.
These are the BILE mottu, still grown
in La Gruyere, and the nouette de
Lausanne. The first Of these came
from the Caucasus, but no one ven.
lures to guess as to how the lake
jewellers came to have It
Many mills have been found suited
to make coarse meal Of the grain,
and even fragments Of the bread have
been kept in the clay vessels that es.
capped fracture.
1t Is due to the lake dwellers' Gus
tom OF building their houses on piles
that we know so much about them.
The mud beneath their huts made an
excellent trap to preserve things for
the modern scientist.

ADDITION TO HIS EFFICIENCY
Business Manager Would Do Well to
Remember That His Personality
Counts for Much.

Hes really very agreeable outside
OF business hours" How often we hear
this remark about a certain type Of
man at the head of large enterprise
He is the man whose office demeanor
is characterized by the GOODNESS of q
SNOWFALL and the Indifference Of q
stone.
In his desire to become efficient and
make every one about him the same
he squeezes every bit of human feel
ing out of his relations with his sub
ordinates and becomes a part of a
working system, as dehumanized as
his filing system or his adding ma
chine or the typewriter which his
stenographer manipulates. During Of
flee hours he Is a machine which die
develops efficiency. But-"he's really
very agreeable outside of business
hours"
This man needs to know that, his
ability being efficient, he becomes
more efficient as he becomes more hui
man, Just as a machine Is more eff
cient the more machine-like it be-
comes. He needs to learn that the
man at the head Of q big concern
must have personality II he is to hold
his business together. and that per
sonality Is good thing to keep on
top.
The man who subordinates his per-
sonality to his position is the man who
lets his position run him and who is q
jobholder before he Is man. A pitia-
BILE state. indeed. for anybody to find
himself In. Being man with a per-
sonality as well as an executive with
. high degree of efficiency is an ideal
which every business man might well
hold before himself, inside of business
hours or Observation-Disclosures Jour-

Old Mr.. Ground Hog.


What makes poor human beings
Live just like dog?
Nothing in This world except
The old ground hog.
He is in his warm nest sleeping like
log
While we folks are freezing
That mean ground hog.
If we had his hogship
Would we wiring his neck?
We'd choke him till we made him
squeal,
We would, by Heck.
Snow enshrouds the country
Ice is on the creek.
Brought by old man ground hog
The ugly, low down sneak.
If you want your rations
You just have to dig,
Everybody has to eat,
Except that old ground pig.
He brings the wind and hail and
snow
And thinks he's very smart,
But he wouln't treat us half so mean
If he had bit of heart.
But, we'll wait with patience,
Till the sunshine lifts the fog,
Then we'll have the laugh,
On the old ground hog.

Blankenburg last night issued a proc

offering a reward of $4,000 for the re-

proclamation, was last seen about D.
m, March II, near his home in the
southern section of this city.
He is years old, weighed about 70
pounds, medium build, sandy complex
ion and had a small scar on his cheek
bone under the left eye. He was dress
ed in a blue REFER overcoat, hig gum
boots and a red knitted cap.
Numerous clues, several from out of
town points, have been run without
result and the theory that he was
drowned in the Schuylkill river is
giving addition support.

STATES MINE DEATHS 164
Rate Compares FaVorabiy With Those
of Other States.

Washington, March 21.-only 164
men were killed in mine disasters in
Illinois during 1913. according to sta
tistics gathered by the United States
bureau of mines. This fatality record
compares favorably with the losses in
other coal-mining states. which were:
pennsylvania, 1927; West Virginia.
337: New Mexico. 272; Ohio. 165; Ala
hama. 124, and Colorado, los.
In an army of 72S.335 coal miners
there we're 2.75S deaths last year. This
is an increase of 425 deaths over the
previous year and gives fatality rate
of 3.S2 in every 1000 men employed
as compared with 3.27 in 1912.
DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, director OF
the bureau, in commenting upon the
record for the year. says: An exam
ination of the statistics develops the
disappointing fact that in our coal
mining operations during 1913 there
were killed 425 more men than during
1912. This is an increase OF is per
cent in fatal accidents, with an IN
crease of only about per cent In coal
production"

JUDGE APPROVES
FRISCO RELEASE
Control of Two Lines in Louis
STRAIGHTFORWARD to, Syndi-
cate of Promoters.

st. Louis, Mo-, March 21.-Federal
Circuit Judge Sanborn yesterday aft
ernoon approved the agreement by
which the receivers of the ST. Louis
and San Francisco railroad cancel an
indebtedness against the road of near
ly $4,6OO,OOO and relinquish owner
ship of two subsidiaries in Louisiana
them.
The agreement, which was filed
after six weeks of negotiations, pro-
vides for the surrender to the Frisco
of notes aggregating $3,964.O00 held
by Albert T. Perkins, relieves the
Frisco of liability to take up bonds,
cancels claims of the latter company
against the Frisco totalling $1,3S3,O00.
Some of these items overlap but
James w. Lysk, chairman of the re-
ceivers, said the cancelled indebted
ness approximates $4,60O,00O.
The surrender of the two subsid-
iary lines-the New Iberia and
Northern and the New Iberia, st.
Mary e Eastern, it was stated by Re
ceiyer Lusk, make simpler the task
of reorganizing the Frisco. The sur
render of the roads moreover, means
a separation of the parent lines
from two of the small non-connection
roads, the requirement of which was
recently by the inter
state commerce commission.
Officials of the Frisco were inter-
ested in the syndicate that prooted
the New Iberia The notes held by
Mr.. Perkins were given by the Frisco
into the hands of receivers.
