AeropIanes of Russian Make.

Sukhomlinoff saw that a weak point
in the Russian army was that too
much Of it's equipment came from
abroad-a vulnerable situation in war
time, as the present shows. So he
set himself busily building up arms
factories, cartridge factories, and so
on within the boundaries of Russia,
and at the same time established a
central laboratory where new mechan-
isms, explosives, inventions might be
tried out.
He also organized-and this gives us
the measure of his foresight-a first
class school of military aviation, and
set the best Russian mechanics at the
development and manufacture of aero
planes, which today take the place Of
cavalry as "the eyes of the army" The
result is that for the last four or five
years Russia has been making her own
aeroplanes and training a large staff
of officers able to use them. Sukhom-
linoff also developed an effective corps
Of army automobiles, for the rapid
transport OF men and suppiies.-Amer-

SAFER CREDITS

Better credit, rather than an extension Of

the Federal reserve act viii have on business
The new regional banks will exercise use
full function in assisting member banks to
Improve the character Of their loans.
The most useful function In matters per-
tanning to health is the digestive system, for

is HIGHEST COURT
Jewish Tribunal Whose Decisions
Are Final.
English israeltes Bow to Rulings
Which Have No Recognition Le-
gaIly-Few Appeals From Its
Findings Are Taken.

Probably few Londoners are aware
of the existence of Jewish court in
their midst which is known as the
Beth DIM" or the House of Judge
ment. 1t is situated just off Aldgate,
close to the Great syaa gogue. in the
heart of Hebrew London, and is the
highest religious. as well as civil, court
of the Jews. A raised bench runs along
one side of the court; in the center
are seats of the judges and the court
officials. The head judge, the chief
rabbi, has seat in the exact center,
with the assistant judges on either
side of him. The latter always include
an expert English lawyer and the head
of the "Shochetim licensed
butchers, who may only kill cattle as
prescribed by the dietary laws of the
Jews.
1t is impossible, owing to the ethics
of the Jewish religion, for many cases
to be heard in the ordinary police or
county court. Cases dealing with Jew.
ish ritual marriage laws, ETC., are
adjudicated by the Beth Din, and it
rarely occurs that the parties con-
cerned are dissatisfied with the deci-
sions given in this court. No higher
tribunal can be approached for final
justice, as the decree of the Beth Din
is purported to be indisputable.
1t is very interesting to note that
the proceedings of this Jewish court
are held Gin camera" no newspaper
reports are permitted, neither are the
public allowed to be present during
the sittings
Though the Beth Din has no official
recognition from the state, its judg-
ments have more than once been con-
firmed in the ordinary courts. Some
time ago litigant, dissatisfied with
the judgment given against him at the
Ghetto court, took his case before
Judge Bacon at Whitechapel county
court. The chief rabbi offered to at
tend and explain the reasons of his
decision, but his honor, without re-
curing his presence, upheld the YER
dict given by the Beth Din.

War Makes DOGS Homeless.

The annual British dog tax of $185,
which fell due on New Years day, has
set an unusual number of dogs adrift.
The reason is the war, with so many
men at the front and so many depen-
dents behind. English people are ex-
tremely sentimental in regard to ami
mails, and the protecting act passed
three years ago imposes a maximum
fine of 500 or six months imprison-
ment on any one convicted of aban-
doning dog. This year, the senti
mental feeling for the homeless dogs
has taken the form of appeals to the
press for individuals to ransom the
dogs and give them to the troops as
mascots, 9and also of printed leaflets,
which have been scattered among
householders, pleading with owners
not to turn their pets into the street.

Money Made Out Of Peanuts.

In Farm and Fireside Harry B. Pot
ter writes suggestive article entitled,
"Why Not Grow Nuts?" in the course
of which he describes the various nut
crops grown in the United States and
the profits to be made out of them. In
regard to the peanut he writes in part
as follows:
"The second most important nut In
the United States is the peanut. Sci
entifically the peanut is a pea, and
not a nut. But popular opinion has
classed it as a nut because of It's
flavor. Like the English walnut, the
peanut didn't become important until
about 1870. though it had been known
for long time before.
"The peanut is now grown all
through the southern half of the Unit
ed States, and the 20,00000O bushels
raised in 1909 Qast census) were worth
about s1S,00O,00O. The popularity OF
peanuts Is due to the ease of shuck
ing and the low retail price The
early age at which the American pub
lie learns to love this nut also helps
to explain perhaps its remarkable
popularity"

In line with the information that
the foreign governments have found
the cloths used in uniforms unfit for
long service under conditions of mod
ern warfare, an inquiry has been re-
ceived in the market for corduroy, the
New York Times states. Reports place
the number of uniforms required by
a soldier in active service at two a
month. This is regarded as an exag-
geration in many quarters, but even
If one new uniform a month was need
ed to clothe the man at the front, the
amount of cloth that would have to
be made up for this purpose would
be tremendous. Corduroy seems ad-
miiably adapted to use in strenuous
campaigns, and will probably give
much longer wear than the uniform
cloths now employed.

CHEEKY FELLOW is CHIPIdUNK
Little Animal Does No Harm and IL
Only Prosecuted Through
Thoushtlessness.

OF all the squirrel tribe, the chip
munk is the most common. He seems
to have a fondness for civilization
which the others lack, and delights to
be near mankind. AS a result, and be-
cause of his confiding and fearless
nature, this little squirrel may often
be found quite near to the house, or,
If you happen to be in the woods, he
will investigate your tent with in
quisitiye nose and pattering feet.
Unlike the other squirrels, the chip
munk, hackee or ground squirrel, as
he is yariously called, is far more at
home upon the ground than in the
treetops; in fact, he will rarely ascend
tree if it is possible to avoid it. Per-
haps this is because he is not equipped
with the bushy tail that the tree-loy-
ing squirrels use as combination rud-
der and balancing pole.
The burrow of the chipmunks is a
rather curious affair The main tunnel
or entrance often extends into the
ground for three feet or more, at which
point side chambers usually branch
off; in one of these side chambers the
chipmunk makes his winter nest, the
others being used as storage places for
provisions, often bushel or more Of
nuts and grains being stored therein
for winter consumption.
|; All of these provisions are carried to
The nest in the curious cheek pouches
of the little animal; in the late autumn
chipmunks may be seen darling about
with these pouches so distended with
their cargo as to make the little fell
lows look as if afflicted with an cpl
demic of mumps. When he considers
his larder sufficiently stocked, the chip
munk retires to his nest for the win
ter. His little birdlike tracks on the
snow in even the coolest weather
prove that he ventures abroad occa-
sionally, for exercise at least. If you
dig down into his burrow in the DOR
mant season you are apt to find from
two to six of the little fellows curled
up snugly in the one nest-a situation
never found in the homes of the other
squirrels.
The chief enemies of the chipmunks
are the small boy with stick and air
rife, the weasel, the hawk and the
owl. The worst of these, however, is
the small boy. The chipmunk may not
be of any value as destroyer of ami
NAL or vegetable pests, but he is new
ertheless a CHEEKY, harmless little
fellow, who makes the woods bright
patter Of his tiny feet.

Another Edison Marvel.

When the telephone was nothing
more than an experimental toy in 1870,
MIR. Edison predicted that this form of
communication would not be perfect
until combined with the monograph,
so that telephone messages would be
recorded automatically. And now, for
ty-five years later, when fifteen mil
lions of conversations are carried an
nually over the telephone wires, Mr..
Edison is ready to exhibit at the Pan
ama-Pacific fair for the first time the
telescribe, a combination of the tele-
phone and dictaphone, which will put
upon cylinder for reproduction every
syllable uttered into the transmitter.
A little thought will enable any one
to realize what a revolution will be
wrought in commercial and legal af-
fairs when a telephone conversation
can be proved beyond dispute as read
lily as a written document.

"one larum or watch of iron, the case
being likewise OF gilt edge, with pfurn-
NETS of lead"
The first watches may readily be
supposed to have been of rude exc
cution. The first great improvement,
the substitution of springs for weights,
was in 1850. The earliest springs were
not coiled, but only straight pieces of
lead.
Early watches had only one hand
and, being wound up twice day, they
could not be expected to keep time
nearer than fifteen or twenty minutes
in the twelve hours. The dials were of
silver or brass. The cases had no crys-
tails, but opened at the back and front
and were four or five inches in di-
ameter
A plain watch cost the equivalent of
$1,000 in our currency, and, after one
was ordered, it took year to make it..

The Dutch at Whitby.

Whitby's last experience Of naval
warfare was rather curious. In June,
1886, two Dutch warships chased "a
pickroon belonging to the king OF
Spain" into the harbor, and though in
neutral water, England being at peace
with both combatants, lowered their
boats to board the Spanish vessel.
The governor of the town, Sir Hugh
Cholmley, protested, but the Dutch
carried out their design and captured
the enemy's ship. Thus set at def
ance, Sir Hugh called up the trained
bands, took boats, recaptured the
Spanish ship and took prisoner one
of the Dutch captains.
Whitby's chief fame is that from
it's abbey emerged the first English
singer, Caedmon. He was remarkable
among his fellows for his ignorance
of such simple skill in the art of song
as belonged to the monks of those
