HIGH SCHOOL NEWS.
GIRLS CLEE CLUB ORGANIZED.

Thirty girls have reported for work
in the Girls Glee Club this year. Miss
Pierce, who is directing the work of the
club, reports that the raw material
ranges anywhere from grand opera
quality to monotones, but that it can
all be trained into a first class Glee

for practise but the work is still in it's
preliminary stages. While no definite
announcements have been made of any
concerts it is expected that the club will
grace the literary society programs and
other occasions of more or less enjoyable
variety as they did last year.

RAT7LER'S FANGS MISS HIM.
Snake Strikes Negroes OveraIIs and
Can't Get Loose.

Jefferson City, Mo.-A negro farm
hand cutting corn felt several sharp
tugs at his overalls and thought he had
become caught in briars. CHANGING over
his shoulder, he saw rattlesnake five
feet long. Reaching around with his
corn knife. he managed to sever the
cnake just back of the head.
The snake had buried it's curved
fangs, nearly an inch in length, in the
slack of the negroes overal1s and could
not disengage them.

It IS IN the Alternative OF The OF 111l-
prisonment that some Of the grossest
Injustice in American justice lies. It
is no alternative at all for the man who
has no money-nor is it for the man
who has much money. The man with
no money will choose the imprisonment
because he can't help it; that man with
much money will choose the fine be-
cause that enables him to escape the
imprisonment at a price so small that
he does not feel it.
It may sound like equal justice to
impose the same sentence on all similar
offenders, but it isn't equal justice

PCST0FFlCES USE A BILLION
AND A HALF YARDS OF TWINE
Purchasing Agent Reports Thousands
Spent Yearly For This Item Alone.

In his annual report James A Edger-
ten, purchasing agent of the postoffice
department, shows the interesting fact
that the postoffices of the country use
a billion and half yards Of Irvine to
tie papers and letters. He says:
An enormous yardage of Irvine is
necessary for tying out letters and
other packages in the railway mail
service and in postoffices. this yardage
approximating nearly 1,5O0,0O0,000 an
nually For many years jute Irvine
has been employed for this purpose al
most exclusively. A two ply jute of
twenty pounds breaking strength and
approximately GOO yards to the pound
has been found most suitable. The
grounds on which this Irvine was
adopted were the low price at which
it could be obtained and the softness
and pliability of cord which prevented
it from cutting into hands of users
and into packages of letters, a point
urged against finer Irvine made of 9TH
er materials.
Objections were raised to the contin-
ued purchase of jute Irvine. however,
on the score that it was a foreign
product; that the fiber became detach-
ed and filed the atmosphere. making
it insanitary, and that the jute mar
ket in America is more or less in the
control of O monopoly. During the
past few years the price of jute has
continually advanced This reached a
climax at the beginning of the present
contract period. Nov. 1. 1918. when the
department was compelled to pay
$O.1265 per pound. Because of the
large amount of Irvine purchased, this
represented an aggregate expenditure
of more than 100000 annually.
In view of all the facts mentioned.
it was deemed advisable to expert
ment with tying devices and twine OF
ether materials. Jute Irvine is. except
In rare cases, used but once. while ty-
ing devices may be employed many
times. Previous experiments in the
Philadelphia, Washington and Balti-
more postoffices had brought favorable
reports as to one device which was
placed under contract and a purchase
of 100000 made during the year.
Reports for the most part having been
favorable, the experiment win be con-
tinued. As already stated, the depart
ment is also investigating the use OF
Irvine made Of cotton and other 6bers.

LIVE LIFE PRESERVERS.
Canaries In Coal Mines and White
Mice In Submarines,

Mice In Submarines.
In coal mining the great danger to
rescue parties, after a disaster from
firedamp within the mine, has been
that there has been no known way Of
detecting when the rescuers are within
the danger zone of the deadly gases
until it was too late-until the rescuers
suddenly tumbled over, unconscious
and dying from the deadly fumes. For
the gas is odOrlesS and tasteless, and
there is no known chemical method of
detection.
But some one discovered that the
canary-the ordinary little yellow sing
ing bird-was peculiarly susceptible to
the effects of this gas. For four or
five minutes before the gas reached
strength sufficient to overcome human
beings the little canary birds toppled
off their perches. insensible. Accord
ingly, all rescue parties that now enter
the coal mines carry with them several
of these little life preservers in wire
cages. These they closely watch as
they make their way into the danger
Gus sections of the mine, and as soon
as one Of the little feathered singers
becomes insensible they seek safety at
once. Not, however, before they have
transferred the little fellow into a
cage charged with life giving oxygen.
which Immediately restores him to his
former well being, for they are CRATE
fully mindful of their debt to him
In the submarines of our navy a
deadly gas is formed that affects the
occupants much as the gas in coal
mines affects the miners and rescuers
and is equally difficult of detection.
In this case some one discovered thai
the white mice. especially the breed
called dancing mice" that may be
seen in any animal dealers shop. were
as susceptible to this deadly gas as the
little canaries were to the coal mine
gas. Accordingly. every submarine
now carries as an essential part Of its
equipment cage of these little dane
ers. When the boat is running be-
meath the surface-which is the time
and condition when the deadly gas is
formed, due to the action of the chemi-
calls used in operating the boat-these
little mice are carefully watched. When
one of them is overcome the boat Ell
Their rises to the surface and pumps in
supply of fresh air or, if that is i'm
possible. oxygen is liberated from the
liberal supply Of tanks carried on
board until the mouse revives. The
oxygen is then cut off. for an oversup-
ply of it is likely to work harm among
the human beings compelled to breathe
it too freely.-New York Post

ELECTION DATE PUZZLE.
Why the "First Tuesday After the First
Monday" In November?

Why the First Tuesday After the First
Monday" In November?
Nearly all the American world knows
that the national election and nearly
all of the state elections occur on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November, but probably not one in all
the millions of voters and nonvoterS
can tell why that date was selected
for the choice of electors. The when"
is easy of discovery, but that is anoth-
er story. 1t is always the first Tues
day after the first Monday, but any
body who looks at the calendars of
several years in November will see
that the date varies almost every year.
Years ago the writer inquired of
many of the most learned congressman
in Washington as to the why of the
mystery. Not one could answer eX-
cept to say, "Bless me, don't know"
Harry Smith, who for long years was
journal clerk of the house of repre-
sentatives, was almost a magician in
dragging to light those little mysteries
associated with the history of the coun-
try. He sought high and low as to the
"why" actually for months and then
gave it up.
1t is really one of the curiOsities of
our national legislation. FL. 81. b.
Meyer, chief photographer of the Con
gressional library. says:
"As to why the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November instead
of the first Tuesday in November was
fixed for the date Of presidential cleo
tons, we have to report that no salts
factory answer can be given."-E. W.
Lightner in Pittsburgh Dispatch.

has produced normally on a basis of
$4,OOO,000 per year, and Leadville
probably has exceeded its normal gold
production because of shipments OF
