Mrs Of fragrant sachets were presented
to each guest, Miss Ably Woodward,
teacher of this department, deserves
much credit for the progress these

winter seasons. and 1t is expected that
for this reason the average for these
months will fall below normal. This
has already been demonstrated by the
records for September, in which month
1870 marriages took place as against
1889 in September 1913. For 1914. up
to and including September. the num-
Der of maria ges is 1S,436 as against
14,761 for the same period Of 1913.
The outbreak of the war has also
materially influenced for the better the
of children born out OF
wedlock. In nearly all cases this was
done by the father of the child marry
ing its mother. While in August 1918
only les children were ligitimized,
their number in August 1914 was 1,04S,
of which number all but five were
given proper status before the law
by marriage. In the first seven months
of 1914 only l.049 children were legiti-
mized a. against 1892 for the same
period In 1918.

Indian Guide Reveals Amazing Secret
of the Red Man.

Of the Red Man.
DR. Barton J. P. Powell. Of this city,
while hunting in the Calayeras county
made a strange discovery that is OF
more than ordinary interest to mem
bers of the medical fraternity. The
physician was picking feathers from
quail when an Indian guide reached
over and pulled one Of the feathers
from the birds breast.
The white people, remarked the
Indian. "have been teaching US modern
ways for years. and you, doctor, will
be surprised when ! tell you that I can
see the bone in my finger with the aid
of this little feather"
The Indian then placed the feather
before the doctors eyes and held his
hand up to the light. The flesh was
transformed to gelatin and the bones
were plainly visible, just as is the case
with powerful X-ray.
The Indian informed the physician
that feathers had been used for years
in finding breaks and setting bones in
the broken limbs Of the red man. The
penetrating power Of a buzzard's
feather is said blythe Indians to be
much stronger thanfany other variety
One Of the quail feathers has been
sent to the experts Of the University
of California. and 1t 10 hoped by the
local physicians that they will be able
to explain the mystery. Stockton

Washing ton, Nov. 26-Champ Clark

speaker once more without serious
struggle and perhaps without oppose
ton so far as democratic candidates
are concerned.
AT one time, especially at the height
of the fight over the repeal of free tolls,
when Speaker Clark denounced in UNI
measured terms the effort of the Will
son administration to get free tolls re-
pealed. there was a great deal of talk
of preventing Speaker Clark from sue
ceedins himself as speaker. But it is
one thing to talk about this and an
other to bring it to pass. Undoubtedly,
leading men in administration circles,
did more or less figuring on the ques-

never got far with it. Large numbers

Latteriy. many democrats have been

Clark for another term in the speak

that his reelection is regarded as a
certainty.
The feeling between Clark and Bryan
growing out of the attack on Clark
by the Nebraska will probably last
as long as the two men are active in
politics. No sign is given that Clark
will ever forgive that attack. The
truth is there is better feeling between
President Wilson and Speaker Clark
Than there is between Bryan and Clark.
If Bryan ever runs for the presidency
again, he viii have to do some fine work
in diplomacy if ne prevents the Clark
forces from getting out their knives for
him. So far as Wilson is concerned
there is no likelihood that Speaker
Clark will oppose his denomination.

SHIPMENTS TO BE RESUMED.
Board Partition to Keep Guaranteed

Chicago, Nov 26.-Workmen We're
engaged dividing the Union stock yards
at Chicago yesterday with a tight
board fence twelve feet high. On one
side OF this fence, which is expected TO
be completed by Saturday night. will

from states not under foot and mouth

be available for shipment TO outside
points. On the other side will be
handled livestock from Illinois and
other guaranteed states. which must

This measure is being taken to make
possible the resumption Of livestock
shipping from Chicago, discontinued
since Nov. 2. On that date federal
and state veterinarians issued orders
stating all livestock received at Chi
cago must be slaughtered here. Later
they closed the stock Yards completely
and no stock was received or shipped
out
On Monday. Nov. Is, the yards were
opened TO incoming stock. but the en-
barge against outgoing animals con-
t:nued in force. Since then livestock
men and stock yards officials nave
been seeking means by which shipping
business. which comprises about 40 per
cent of the entire livestock trade at
Chicago, could be resumed.
A plan to handle livestock from
clean" states separately from animals
received from states where cases Of the
foot and mouth disease has been found
was finally hit upon and submitted to
federal and state authorities, who
sanctioned the plan.
Separate crops Of sellers and buyers
will have charge of the cattle in the
clean division. and all stock from
that section will be unloaded and
transferred to killing pens or to loading
platforms for outward shipping in sep
arate chutes and over separate via
ducts from those used for the handling
of stock from affected areas.
