SAY GIRL PUPILS WORK
HARDER THAN The BOYS
Teachers Declare Girls Are Inter-
ested In Details, While Boys
Give Attention to Essentials.

Minneapolis, Minn.-A characteristic
difference between girls and boys was
revealed in Miss Jessie Taylor's class
at Whittier school when the pupils
took down the following problem re-
Gently read to them by the teacher:
what are the proceeds of ninety
days note for $7S9.96 discounted at
per cent?
Seven girls and two boys wrote out
the problem exactly as given Three
boys jotted down the three essential
conditions of the problem and nothing
else. The remainder OF the class alb
breviated the conditions more or less,
with the majority of the girls writing
1t out more completely than the boys.
The following interpretations were
offered by various school authorities:
\ Girls are interested in details, while
boys are Interested in essentials this
is characteristic sex difference
Girls are more conscientious than
boys. The latter are usually more
awake to possibilities by which they
may save themselves useless labor"
A history teacher, commenting upon
the sex difference thus exemplified,
said one of the late graduating classes,
which contained more boys than girls,
had been keen for current events.
This class was greatly interested in
woman suffrage, while another class,
where the girls predominate, preferred
history and takes no interest in cur
rent events
These instances are properly coupled
with two events which reveal the in
creased activity of schoolgirls in mas
culine affairs.

GRANULATED SUGAR
HAS HEALING POWER
Doesn't Adhere to Flesh and Obviates
Necessity of Frequent Washing.
German Surgeons Using II.

Berlin, - German army doctors are
using sugar with great success in the
treatment of wounds. The wound is
dressed with granulated sugar and
then bound.
The sugar does not act as a disinfec-
tant and must not be applied until
bleeding has been arrested. But when
applied to clean wound surface heal
ing proceeds with astonishing rapidity.
No washing of the wound is neces-
sary when redressng, which is merely
a matter of renewing the application
of sugar every second or third day.
The sugar dressing has also the advan-
tage that there is no adhesion to the
flesh.

RAT USED TYPEWRITER

(Dobbs Ferry Cor. New York SUM
The correspondent of the Sun dis

for it on John McKeon. The story con-
Germs typwriter, a rat and what hap
pened when a rodent gets literary am
bitions.
McKeon is bookkeeper, typewriter
and man Friday of Griffin's garage,
and frequently quits his office to ped

Lately he has found on his return that
some one had been using his typewrit-
er, for line of uncanny words were
strung across the paper left in the

McKeon was worried, because the
Office door was locked and he thought
the place might be haunted. So he
started to keep watch through a win

saw a big gray rat tapping at the type
writer.
Mckeon does not say whether or not
the rat used the touch system, or
whether he scratched his whiskers
when at a loss for a word. But he
does state that he dashed into the Of
flee to capture the prodigy, only to
find that the rat had erased himself.
McKeon, however, displays a sheet
bearing what he calls "ratese," and

troll of the convention. Questions
which were bone of contention in
1912 will be barred.
Mr.. Hilles expressed himself as
favoring platform which will en-
phasize the propositions which are of
vital interest at the present moment
and on which Republicans and Pro,
gressives are in accord.
Personally | have a feeling that

OFFICIAL TESTS OF
BIC SEAPLANE TO BE
MADE At PENSACOLA
BURGESS MACHINE WHICH WAS
SHIPPED TO LOCAL TRAINING
STATION, WILL BE GIVEN
THOROUGH TRYOUT HERE.

Pensacolians will possibly have the
opportunity of witnessing the initial
tests of the big Burgess seaplane,
which was shipped from the Marble
head, Mass, mandatory, and which
should be here within day or two.
Upon arrival, the car or cars in which
it is transported will shift to the
naval station, and there be unloaded.
According to the Army and Navy
Journal, the machine is the fastest
aeroplane built for aero-marine SER
vice either here or abroad. This
reference to the big apparatus was
printed in the naval paper quoted in
its last issue:
"The Burgess seaplane purchased
by the u. S. navy was shipped from
Marblehead, Mass, Jan. 26, to the
Pensacola Training Station for the Of
fetal test. The machine must develop
a contract speed of eighty miles an
hour, and IS said to be the fastest
aeroplane built for aero-marine ser
vice either here or abroad. In all
the navy seaplane must carry load
of 1000 pounds, excluding the weight
of the machine itself. The weight is
made up Of $50 pounds required by
the department for pilot and passen-
ger; 220 pounds specified for tools
and instruments, or, in the case of
war, bombs, and 400 pounds of fuel
and oil, insuring a continuous fight
of four hours duration. In prelfmi-
nary trial at Marblehead the machine
is said to have demonstrated its abil-
ity to climb $500 feet in ten minutes,
the minimum required by the navy
department. The power is supplied
by 40 horsepower engine, driving
a nine-foot propeller"
