Recent studies made by English bio
Observation-Disclosures who devote their
researches to careful measurements for
oiolokical ends-show that when youns
women and young men OF the same
height and weight are given experiment
tai tasks such as walking a definite dis.
tance. running or climbing, the women
use one-third again as many muscles
and expend one-third extra motions as
do the men.
The reason for this was sought. An.
other set of parallel tests were begun

given a stretch Of river to row and tc

The Amazing Results.
Flabbergasting In the extreme was the
result. Painstaking examinations made
in the psychological laboratories after
the tests and At intervals between and
alert observations made during the con-
tests struck the eyes Of the savants with
astonishment.
Not only was there no difference in

SECOND CLEANUP
CONTEST IN Utah
Remarkable Results Achieved
In Initial Campaign.
REVIEW OF WORK DONE.

Or. T. M. Beatty, Secretary of the State
Board of Health, Has Reported That
the First Campaign Reduced the
Death Rate Throughout Utah.
The second cleanup contest in the
state of Utah is now on. The first one
was inaugurated early in 1914 by the
secretary of the Utah Development
league He worked through the COM
mercial clubs Of the state, the COVER
nor and the state board of health. AS
q result Utah in 1914 conducted the
first cleanup town contest ever held in
this country under the auspices of
state bureau.
SO remarkable were the results last
year, says the Survey, that the con-
test is being repeated this year by the
state board of health, the Utah De-
velopment league cooperating. The
manner of conducting the contest and
the mode of scoring will be essentially
the same this year as last, so a brief
review of last years event will show
the general value Of the movement.
The contest started about the middle
of March. Each town organized a
committee of citizens who outlined and
directed it's campaign. Provo, town
of 10000 population, selected commit
tee of fifty A captain for each of the
$50 city blocks was also appointed. By
a centrally chosen street the town was

Price of a TuIip,

In Holland the tulip became about
the middle of the seventeenth century
the object of a trade unparalleled in
the history of commercial speculations.
From 1884 to 1857 all classes in all
the great cities Of Holland became in
fected with tulipomania. A single root
of particular species called the "vice-
roy" was exchanged in the true Dutch
taste for the following articles: Two
lasts of wheat, four of rye, four fat
oxen, three fat swine, twelve fat
sheep, two hogsheads of wine, four
tuns Of beer two tuns of butter, 1000
pounds of cheese, a complete bed, a
suit Of clothes and silver beaker, the
whole being worth $500 forms.

His First "Invention."

EdisOn's taste for inventing began
when he was quite a little boy, al
though the first time he attempted to
be original he was a failure.
One day, when he was about five
years old, his parents missed him fol-
quite a long time. After prolonged
and fruitless search all over the house
his elder sister happened to go into the
fowl house, where she discovered the
missing boy sitting on the floor, his
clothes smothered in broken eggs.
"What on earth are you doing there
TomY she asked in establishment.
'Well," replied the youthful genius
gravely, 81 thought if the hens could

The franc was formerly called livre

any special weight is not evident. The
name of the German coin, mark, mean.
ing a weight of eight ounces, was for

name of the Italian coin that CORE

pound. The coins in present use in
Spain have their names from other
sources. The five peseta piece is call

of the small coin representing the mon
