The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1915-06-09

Drops of rain vary in their size per
haps from n twenty-fifth to a quarter
of an inch in diameter. In parting
from the clouds they precipitate their
descent till the increasing resistance
opposed by the air becomes equal to
their weight, when they continue to
fall with uniform velocity. This We
locity is therefore IN u certain ratio
to the diameter of the drops; hence
thunder. and other showers in which
the drops are large pour down faster
than drizzling rain. A drop Of the
twenty part of an inch in falling
through the air would, when it had ar.
rived ut its uniform velocity. acquire a
celebrity Of only eleven and a half feet
per second, while one Of quarter OF
an inch would have a velocity of thir.
ty-three and half feet.

Office Of diplomacy.

1t would be well nigh impossible to
catalogue the duties that fall to the
diplomatic agents of the mutually
friendly power which takes over this
set of relations when war breaks ont.
In England, for instance, there was a
large population of Germans and Aus
TRANS. Some were naturalized; some
property owners. Some were anxious
to get out Of the country: Others were
Just as anxious that they should not be
forced out Of it. American agents had
to look after their interests.
When the war got fairly under way
camps for prisoners Of war began to
be established in all the warning coun-
tries. Complaints came from these, and
American diplomats had to look after
the interests of British and French and
Russian prisoners in Germany and Aus
tria and vice versa. Commissions have
been sent to supplement the efforts OF
the regular diplomatic establishment in
this regard.
Not the least difficult services re-
CURED of the American consuls and
diplomats have been in connection
with the colonial internments of bel
ligerents. Thus there have been es-
tablished in India. in Canada and In
Australia special camps for taking
care of citizens of enemy countries.
Many hundreds of men are held in
the big internmcnt establishments,
while their families have required at
tention elsewhere because they have
not been formally informed, but left
largely to shift for themselves. These
cases have created Il set of problems.
not new TO diplomacy, but never so
large MS in the present war.

RACE SUICIDE LAID
TO GIRLS COLLEGES
Coeducation Is Urged as the
More Desirable Course.

Pittsburgh. - Separate colleges for
women in the United States should be
abolished and coeducation substituted,
according to Professors Roswell John
son and Bertha J. Stutzmann Of the
University OF Pittsburgh.
This conclusion Is based on the
charge that women's colleges contrib
ute largely to race suicide among the
best elements Of the American popula-
ton.
In support of this contention the rec
ords of Wellesley college have been
analysed and the results published In
the Journal Of Heredity, the organ Of
the American Genetic association Of
this city.
The investigators found that twenty
years after graduation fewer than one
half Of the girls have married These
have borne only one and one-half chill
dren each.
Taking all the students into account
and allowing enough time to elapse so
that 1t is probable they will bear no
more children, the investigators next
found that the Wellesley girls contrib
ute less than one child each to the
race-that is. they do not even repro
duce their own number. And the hon
or students, who from n eugenic point
of view are assumed to be the pick of
the lot. do only about third as well
as this.
To maintain stationary population
the writers say that every married wo-
man should bear four children From
this point of view they believe that the
women's colleges are Fastening the ex-
tinction of the old American stock.
The colleges are blamed for failure
to give girls an opportunity to meet
young men and for failure to make
them DESTROYS or competent to be wives
and mothers. 1t Is shown statistically
that the marriage rate Of "coeds" Is
better, and 1t is remarked
that at Wellesley the students are for
hidden to receive men callers even on
Sunday. their only free day.
Viewed as to marriagea bility. the in
consider woman most at
tractive during her college years, and
they declare 1t Of vital importance that
young men should be allowed to meet
her in that period.

EATS FIRST REAL MEAL
after SURGICAL PROBE
Drank lys When a Baby--.Un-
able TO Eat For Sixteen Years.

| st. Louis. - Miss Katherine Besse,
eighteen years old. ate the first break
fast. luncheon and dinner she ever ate
In her life few days ago For six
teen years she had not tasted COM
pletely food Of any description. The
channel of her throat, the esophagus,
was in position, but was entirely use
less until DR.. Francis w. Kirsch per
formed an operation known as gas
trotomy and brought her back to nor
NAL.
When she was two years old Miss
Besse, who is the daughter of the wild
ow of grocer. drank a solution of
lye while her mother was busy at her
housework.
The I've burned away the membranes
Of the childs mouth and the lining of
her esophagus and caused this channel
from her mouth to her stomach to be-
come strictured and to close tightly.
A physician who was called to at
tend her said she would die unless her
esophagus was cut loose from her
stomach and a new one made from
tube and sewed to the surface of her
breast
Her parents refused to permit the
physician to cut away the deadened
esophagus but granted him permission
to bring the lining Of the stomach to
the surface of her body and make an
opening near the solar plexus. through
which liquid food might be given her
DR.. Kirsch became interested in the
case. He began a gentle probing with
a slender pliable steel rod. which he
forced down her esOphagus. One after
another the closed places in the old
tissue were forced open and broken
apart. As they were broken they were
left attached to the inside of the new
tissue that gradually had grown
around the unused tube.
Nature then began its process Of alb
sorption until the new throat was clear
Of any structure. Then the surgeon
placed the patient under an anaesthet-
ic and swiftly cut away the stitches
that held the lining Of the stomach to
the old opening in the breast. sewed
this together and dropped it in place,
sewed together the muscles that had
been severed sixteen years ago. cut
away the abnormal tissues that had
grown around the wound. stitched the
severed skin together and when Miss
Besse awoke from the ether told her
she had become normal again.
