According to the rules of Borhean fashion it is deemed necessary to mold one's limbs into a more shapely form than that bestowed by nature. Tfiis is done really effectively by witsding strong brass wire round the anklets the wrists, under the knees and aboys the elbows ofs children. Growth at ahese points is in consequence greatly ham pered, with the result that the limbs come to be deformed or, according to Dyak ideas, brought into proper shape. Exchange

Thouant and speeeh.

In spite of Emerson consistency is a hobgoblin. Most of us cannot help feeling that what we have said one day we must abide by the next, and this makes US careful. We are brought up from youth to think twice before we speak, and so Ue do. We think perhaps three or four times, and when we have done our thinking we have begun to suspect that we are poor creatures anyway and might better not speak at all, which may be the case or not-New York Telegram

Putting the Jail on Wheels.

County judge. county prosecutor,
 county counsel and county board of i freeholders unitedIy took hold and without delay 8 group of prisoners
 were sent out to the old Salem county
 almshouse, some twelve miles from
 the county seat, where they were housed and fed and set to work re- pairing the roads in the inamed ediate ivicinity. In two weeks time a portable bunk i house had been constructed and nov i ed out to county road where repairs were needed and the prisoners were 1 then lodged in the roadside Pull
 man. A suitable frame with wheels {! is now under construction and when this is set in place under the bunk house; the Pullman will travel about the county to stop alongside the highway where work can be per formed by the prisoners
 This bunkhouse is 12 by 28 feet with a 9-foot ceiling and contains six teen hunks. The bunk room is sepa- rated by a partition from the dining room with an oil stove on the side for cooking purposes. An under ster- if has charge of the prisoners and the bunk house, and the county road supervisor directs the work to be done. The prisoners work eight hours and and have been promised wage of fifty cents a day for approv- ed work Most of the prisoners sent out from the jail are serving time in default of fines for drunkenness or disorder1y conduct.
 Since this road work was started in July. some of the prisoners have com pleted sentence and have found en- ployment of farms near by, for the demand for labor in Salem county this year has been great. The powder works have drawn men of all trades from every community of the county and even from distant cities, and farm workers have suddenly become extremely scarce.
 The Salem jail is @once more able to take care of all who come. The roadside Pullman has proved a. most excellent deterrent and the work-shy are disappearing rapidly. It
 may be we'll to state that the powder works management is sitting out it's employees, now that the first rush is over. Men of intenperate habits are not desired and drug g-users are promptly discharged when discover ed: The county officials have been alert to suppress the disorder1y, e1e- ment and drastic treatment meets all who come before the local court. State prison sentences have been been rather numerous of late in Salem county courts. while the road work invites the common cases of misd demea nors

Honduras is at present an almost undeveloped country The only high way in the country that can be used by automobiles is the road leading from San Lorenzo, on the Pacific side of the country, to Tegucigalpa.

The Ranana PIant.

The banana plant has no branches at all. The, leaves grow from the main stalk and the blossom and fruit spring from the tip of this stem, which bends sharply beneath the weight. The stalk will never bear but one bunch and is cut down in the harvesting. The root, however, will send up repeated stems and thrives over period of nine to fif- teen years.

Objection to Air Raids
Cannot Be Raised by
NeutraIs, U. S. Believes

While the State Department officials
did not care to commit themselves defl-
nitely at present to an official opinion
on the aspect in international law of
an attack by airships upon London or
any other such city. it was indicated
that, presuming the presence of a de-
fensive force in the city, there can be
no legal objection by a neutral power
whose citizens were killed during
such an attack. The State Depart
ment's interpretation of the law is that
the fact that the place Is defended" Is
sufficient to relieve the attackers from
the necessity of giving notice.
In the case of London. regardless OF
the question of fortifications, 1t is
pointed out that there are many thou
sands of British troops in the city. and
that there are many anti-air craft guns
in place on high buildings for the spe-
cial purpose of repelling attacks.

Burlington filed the decree personally.
The document was brief. It merely

should be dismissed. It was signed by

U. S. Treasury Officials
Not Invited to Take Part
in Proposed Conference

No invitation has yet been extended
for participation by the Secretary Of
the Treasury or for the federal reserve
board in the proposed conferences be-
tween the Anglo French commission
and American bankers. The subject has
not even been broached to government
officials, who would naturally be most
concerned, by representatives of either
the allied governments or of the Amer
ican bankers.
The administration is deeply inter-
ested in the outcome of the confer
ences. 1t is not probable, however.
that the government will in any way
take part in these discussions to
situation and to secure a large loan
In this country for the allies.
Commission to Treat With Bankers,
Any arrangements that may be made
will be between the bankers, state
and national. and the commission. An
official view Of the matter is that for
the government to take any part in the
conference. which concerns only the
allies. might be interpreted as an un-
neutral act.
1t is realized that the establishment
of a large credit fund in the United
States for the benefit of the allies may
result eventually in the rediscount Of
acceptances based on the expectation of
goods bought with that fund and des-
tined for the allies. The reserve board,
however. has taken the position that it
has no power under the reserve act to
draw any line of demarcation which
would prevent the rediscount of such
acceptances when the paper offered is
sound and conforms to the boards
regulations.

Field Marshal French Says There

Front.

LONDON, September TO-
The German crown prince is re-
ported to have made considerable
progress in his drive in the
Argonne region in the western
arena, and the French are at
tempting to recover all of the lost
positions, which, the Germans as
sert, include the fortified position
at Marie Therese. 1t is likely that
this region will witness some of
the bitterest fighting in the west
during the next ten days.
Artillery fighting continued
yesterday and last night along the
lines in France, according to an
nouncement made today by the
French war office.
In the Vosges the Germans
made use of asphyxiating shells
and flaming liquids, as result of
which French trench of the first
line had to be evacuated. A
French counter attack, however,
resulted in the recapture of the
greater portion of the lost ground,
it is claimed.
French trenches near Schratz-
mannele and Hartmanns-Wei eiler-
kopf, in the Vosges, have been
captured by storm by German
troops, the German army head
quarters in Berlin officially an
