were found o. X. and the % adjust
ed were sealed by the officer.
Mr.. Averill found SS weights dur
ing the month that were accurate and
2S that were inaccurate. These lat
ter were destroyed. He sealed 40 Ii
quid measures and condemned three.
He found one coal oil pump that was
short one half pint on the gallon and
he found a gasoline pump that was
giving too much for gallon. He
also found one computing scale that
was registering five ounces against
the store. He Inspected 2S7 counter
tacks, three yard sticks and 20 show
case markers. One report was made
to him that ten mans purchased from
a store were short weight, An in
vestigation showed that the store had
charged for five pounds Of wrapper

GREAT RUSSIAN VICTORY
Special War kilograms.

The Russian correspondent of the
London Times, Mr.. Stephen Graham,
writing from Moscow recently, says:
In Moscow all spirit shops (vodka)
have been closed for a month, and
Russia, at a word from the tsar, has
taken on the appearance of sobriety.
Ii has been impossible to obtain al
coholic liquors of any kind, and as a
consequence drunkenness has disap-
peared from the streets, and with it
a great army of beggars, who only
beg that they may gather 20 kopeks
for a bottle. Russia has been dead
sober now for four weeks"
A country vicar writing in the
Novoge vremya states:
THE old women in the villages can
hardly believe their own eyes and
ears, so changed are their men-folk.
Not a hard word, not a row, but
everywhere peace, kindness and in
dustry. War is said to be hell, but
this is like a foretaste of heaven"
Mr.. McCullagn, Daily News CORE
%spondent, writes:

ment, indeed, that even at the end of

agitation for the abolition of the liq-
uor traffic altogether, and the CONVEX
sion of Russia into what Americans

Harvard's President Tells Graduates
Twenty-three Is Mental Maximum.
Cambridge, Mass.-President Lowell
OF Harvard university In a speech said
that after the age OF twenty-three a
mans keener senses begin to lessen, al
though something may be added
through the medium of experience aft
err that age.
Il believe" said DIR. Lowell. that the
mental and physical maxima are reach
ed at nearly the same period. A man
reaches his full physical growth when
he is about eighteen or nineteen years
old, and by the time he is twenty-three
he Is beginning to lose his keener per-
ceptions, so that this age may be called
the physical maximum. The mental
maximum is reached a great deal ear
lier than most people suppose"
Speaking to college boys. he contin-
ued: you have reached your physical
maximum and are close upon your
mental maximum. You will probably
gain something more from experience,
but your actual capacity will increase
very little"
