WHY DO WE COUNT IN TENS?

WHY DO WE COUNT IN TENS?
Why do we count in tens instead
of tweIVes or some other number?
I'll be thankful for information
Henry H.
Well have to go way, way back to
prehistoric times to find out why we
count in tens instead of twelves or
twenties.
Men always had fingers, no matter
how far back we trace the human
family, but they didn't have books to
teach them to count, so they used
the things they had - their ten fin
gers. In time they learned mathe-
mates and system of counting, but
they never changed the system of
counting in tens. So today, in all
parts of the world, people count in
tens because primitive man used his
fingers instead Of figures to count.

WashburnLooks Clean

Have you noticed the improved
condition of the streets and
alleys of the city during the past
few weeks, or since the cleanup
campaign was inaugurated. The
improvement is particularly
noticea bile. The alleys are now
clean from manure and rubbish
and it is the intention of the
street mission to have them
kept in a clean and eanltary
condition.
The ordinance prohibiting the
dumping of manure or rubbish
will be rigidly enforced. Cattle
and horse owners have now pro-
vlded manure boxes at the rear
of their stables and these are
fly proof.

In the Same Boat.

Owen Davis. the playwright. stepped
into the Mushroom of Broadway
restaurant to find two English actors
there Both the actors were slightly
under the influence of something they
had imbibed. and both were engaged
in the favorite national pastime of a
certain type of English actor-they
were knocking America and the Amer
leans.
"Frightfully ignorant race. old chap.
these Yankees" one Of them was say
ing as Davis entered. "'Pon my word

You're relieved now. Haven't you
got any sense in your head! Get OUT OF
that into the skif. Give way, lads?'
"All right. SIR says L. IF she's or
ders she goes. and Pm much obliged to

And jumped into the skiff with the
boy. and we followed the admiraps

could hear muffied shouts and cries.
The Humahuma sank before we ar
rived. and we were soon In the midst
Of floating buckets, boards and articles
of clothing. But there were a good
many shore boats already there, and
the survivors were all picked up so far
as could be seen.
So we started looking in the various
boats for ST and his ma. but we couldn't
find them, though we rowed around and
around and around.
Finally the other boats commenced
to go in shore, one by one, but we kept
OH rowing until no one was there ex-
cept the pale faced boy and me.
We'd row few strokes, then stop to
listen and see If the heavy, leaden,
foggy silence wouldn't be broken.
Finally the silence was broken. A
faint moaning noise came from out In
the white fog some place.
We pulled for it; then we paused
and listened, hoping to hear 1t again.
When we did hear it again I climbed
to the bow, and we pulled and paused
and pulled and paused.
Sometimes it seemed far off, some
times close. But presently saw a
