Bringing Up Pumpkins.

We've heard Of feeding sickly young pigs milk
through nipple and bottle, but we've never
heard Of nursing pumpkin on milk diet. But
farmer near Geneseo, IN. " with the instincts
Of nurse maid fed milk to pumpkin whose
maturity arrived when it weighed 106 pounds,
was longer than yardstick and was two feet
wide. He grew the monster by feeding the plant
from which it sprang SKINNED milk. He cut off
of the runners of the plant and set the end in
pan. Every few days he would fill the pan with
milk. The vine would suck the pan dry in few
hours. The narrator of the story fails to tell
whether the interior of the pumpkin was filled
with butter when it was cut up for pies.

Tracing Degeneracy.

When the State Conference of Charities and
Corrections met here recently many speakers in
sisted on sterilization of feeble-minded persons
or pleaded with cogent argument for the proven
ton of marriages of detectives and degenerates.
The conference devoted much time to this prob
lem, which it considered one of the most vital
confronting the state of Indiana.
Apropos of the deliberations of the Indiana
conference is report just made by the Ohio ju-
venie research bureau in which it traced the rec
ord of an extensive family of degenerates. The
data discoses that fifty-eight blood relatives in
this family were confined in penitentiaries, jas,
infirmares, institutions for feebe-minded, or in
dustrial schools. Five generations of this family
have been charted, showing the following record
for 261 members:
Sixty members of the family have courtroom
records, Is have been in Jail, ID in the peniten-
tiary, in the infirmary, in children's homes, 6
in the workhouse, 2 in the girls industrial home,
in the institution for feebeminded, and in the
boys industrial home.
Seventy-seven are immoral, "a criminal in

Sanitary School Houses.

The new district school house, just north of
the city on the Chester pike, is located on the
crest of a hill, and answers every requirement of
sanitation and hygiene. The building Is credit
to the county. It is interesting to note in this
connection that thirtyeight states now have
some legal provisions regarding the selection of
school house sites. These provisions include the
proximity to "nuisances, availability of the site
and size of the site. Some form of protection
against fire and panic is found in thirty-six
states. General special construction with a
view to fire prevention is dealt with in ten states
Less than half the states have any legal word on
ventilation.

London Has a Crouch.

Every one you meet in London has crouch,
tf not against the government it's the United
States or maybe Northcliffe." So reads the head
line over article in the Chicago Tribune, writ
ten by Carolyn Wilson, special correspondent of
that newspaper in London.
The dispatch reeks with gloom and pessim-
ism. The correspondent discomfort and re-
sentiment against the governments failure at the
Dardanelles, disappointment at Russia's failure
to crush the German steam roller, and fear of
CONSUMPTION souring the masses against the gov
eminent.
But strange to relate, England, in her dark
k&ur, has turned against the United States. Who
could have imagined John Bull flinging stones at
Uncle Sam? Has not America been the store
house from which the English lion has been OBJ
tanning munitions of war? Didn't Great Britain
! and her allies send commission to this country
to negotiate huge war loan? And now,> after all
these little acts of kindness, grateful John Bull
grumbles and growls at Uncle Sam!
poor American writes the CORRESPONDENT
There is no one who has good word to say for
her. England and France have joined the cho-
rus against us and we discover what dreadful
'mercenaries we really are.
u 1T has never been considered exactly the
thing to do to remind friends of favors accorded
them, particularly when those favors have been
given out of pure friendship and in many cases
were accompanied by great sacrifices.
But even if you do outstep convention in this
case and remind the allies of the very consider
