FOR WHAT PURPOSE SAVED?
LeisureIy Englishman at Loss to In
derstand Value of Those Precious
Four NlnI.so.

In no other metropolis of the world
are similar expenditures contemplated
for traffic purposes, and that for very
obvious reasons. Not only is the
physical conformation of New York
without parallel, but nowhere else is
there public so insistent on the sub
ject of Saving time" Minutes spent
in transit must be cut down to the
irreducible minimum, no matter how
prodigally the saved time may be
wasted.
In this connection, continues Alan
Sullivan in Harpers Magazine, con-
slider an actual occurrence. An Eng
lishman who recently dropped in at a
friends office in Twenty-seyenth
street, was asked to dine. AT the near
est subway station they took a local
train to the Grand Central, there
diyed across the platform into an ex-
press that disgorged them at Seventy
other local train that finally deposited
them at the door of the Gothamite's
apartment at Broadway and Seventy
ninth street. Followed then a smoke
and a most leisurely dinner. Halfway
through the dessert, the Briton looked
az his host.
1--WE been wondering why we took
three trains to get here?"
why? We saved four minutes!"
The visitor pondered. Il say" he
questioned, thoughtfully. what are
you going to do with them?"

EVER DANGER OF INFECTION
No Age Exempt From tuberculosis,
According to Physician Who Has
Made 1t Study.

Replying to an attack on the move
ment for local tuberculosis hospitals,
DIR. Hermann M. Biggs, state commits
sioner of health of New York, says
in statement published through the
Journal of the Outdoor Life, the Off
cial organ of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis: Tuberculosis is an in
fictitious and communicable disease.
No age is exempt, and no one is i'm
mune against tuberculosis infection,
but differences in susceptibility exist
at different ages. The frequency OF
infection increases rapidly from the
first year until at the age of fifteen
perhaps rs per cent of the population
show a positive reaction to tubercu-
lin, although only a small proportion
have signs of the disease which can
be detected by other means
"The conviction has been gradually
strengthened that the first infections
from tuberculosis often occur during
infancy and childhood. 1t seems prob
able that many of those who develop
the disease in adult life have carried
the latent infection since childhood,
and have no recent and new infection
when the symptoms of the disease ap-
pear
1T has also been found by expert
ment that it is difficult to re-infect an
animal that has already been previous
ly inoculated with tuberculosis. Hence,
it is inferred that some degree of i'm
munity may be thus produced that
may serve to ward off bacilli which
might find Judgment in an individual
not previously infected. Therefore,
it will be understood how the mild in
fections, which are healed and pres
ent in most persons who have reached
adult age may, and presumably do,
offer some protection against further
limited invasions of the tubercle ba-
cilli. While persons are in good health
the protection thus offered is on ad-
vantage, having some resemblance to
vaccination, but only very limited in
nature, and not complete. Prolonged
or intimate exposure, however, or ex-
posture to a viruleRt type of tubercu-
losis, may result III new infection,
even of those who have overcome a
previous mild infection. 1t is, more
over, by no means certain that in de-
bilitated conditions due to other dis
eases, to dissipation or to bad en-
vironment, new infections may not oc-
cur. We know positively that the
first childhood infection may unoer
such circumstances break out anew
and thus become a doubtful advan.

cuIllnan the LARGEST Diamond.

The Cullinan and many other dia-
monds are larger than the Kohinoor.
According to the Funk & Wagnalls
New Standard dictionary, the Kohl
moor weighs only 104 % karats-less
than the De Beers. the Du Toit, the
French Blue, the Great Mogul, the
Jagersfohtein, the Victoria, and sew

inal Cullinan was the largest diamond
in the world, weighing before it was

two pieces, cai.ed C1llinan l. and Guilt

5161s and 800 SIC karats. The Culli-

in the world, the largest being the
French Blue. weighing SIS xarats. But
since the present whereabouts Of the
French Blue is unknown (some au-
thorities stating that the Hope Blue

She is Mrs So-and-So! This seems
to give her prestige, a right to be
as democratic as she pleases. She is

She sets her approval or ban upon

The young men follow her advice in

agement, or encouragement makes or
breaks off many match.
If a woman has a husband, she
ought to be able to do a great deal of
good for her sister women 1t should
never be said of her by her friends
"she has a splendid husband, yet she
never helps any of her acquaintances
to get good husbands" She who Is
happily welded shouldn't insult the
intelligence of her young women
friends by declaring that there's any
amount of single men her husband
knows, but there isn't one among
the lot she'd care to introduce an
intimate girl friend to.
She has ready answer If this one
or that one is mentioned, declaring
this one couldn't support a wife, that
one don't want any but a wealthy
girl. who had an indulgent, liberal
father. Another wouldn't marry any
one but ali orphan, he has fear of
mother-in-law. It's rather discour-
aging to single women to hear the
woman who has a husband pile up
objections TO get out of helping others
to happiness. 1t is the duty Of the
married woman to help wedlock on.
She should not forget the days when
she was single, looking around to dis
Germ il she could find the mate who
was in store for her. She who has
found good husband should think
kindly of all men for his sake.
