The Port Of Missing Men.

Scarcely a week passes without
news being conveyed to the world that
some man or woman has dropped out
of sight. They are recorded among
the missing and are rarely heard OF
afterward. Sometimes it is because
they desire to sever all ties and to
seek new pastures. In such cases the
man or woman merely slips out OF the
old life and into the new, and no one
can find trace Of them.
Trouble With LImburger.
The trouble with Limburger cheese
is that its smell assassinates its de-
licious taste A Pennsylvania man
states that the outside of the cheese
is the part that smells objectionably,
and that if this part is cut off in
chunks, sliced and given a few sec
onds of immersion in hot water the
smell will be destroyed, leaving the
taste unimpaired. The inside of the
cheese, he says, needs no treatment.

was for years sign on the building
80 designating it.
Also, there is in Audubon a church
society which holds services once in
two weeks in the Danish Lutheran
church building, which is known as
the German Lutheran church. The
dispute is as to which society belongs
this legacy.
Judge Woodruff, before whom the
case Is being tried has endeavored, to
effect q compromise settlement by
which each Of the factions involve>
could equally divide the legacy and
save costs and legal expenses. but the
case has dragged along for over a
week, both sides having had examiner
over 100 witnesses.
The case was completed Thursday
and the judge has taken it under ad-
Visement.

Fall Back on Harding.
The petition is thus made an en-
dorsement of Harding as we'll as the
Pitts Johnston road law. 1t will be
urged, as has already been urged on
behalf of the bill, that Harding was
elected on this issue and that the will of
the people should be carried out. This
argument is met by legislators opposed
to the Pitt-Johnston bill by the state
ment that many senators and repre-
sentatives friendly to the present high
way law were elected in districts and
counties which gave Harding a big
vote and that Harding won in spite of
his claims on the road issue and ret

clare that the extreme need Of the
Pitt-Johnston forces for support is re-

thru. Considerable local pressure will
be brought to bear during the vacation
week to secure support Of the anti
highway commission measure.
1t Is considered very doubtful If the
bill can pass the house, however, and
it's chances in the senate are conceded
by all to be decidedly slim.

Japan's Experience Costly.

When the railways Of Japan were
first planned, the narrow gauge of 3
feet 6 inches was selected for them,
because it was cheapest to build ana
equip, and was thought best suited to
the country's narrow highways ana
steep grades. Now the 5000 miles OF
Japanese railways, all of narrow
gauge, are found to be sadly behind
the times, and a movement is on foot
to rebuild them to standard gauge, al
though the cost is estimated at nearly
S45O,OOO,000. At present the trains are
slow, the fastest expresses making less
than 80 miles an hour; the coaches
are low and narrow, and the sleeping
cars are cramped and inconvenient
while most Of the railway inventions
of other nations cannot be used be-
cause of the difference in track gauge
and size of cars. The director of i'm
perial railways favors the change, IN
spite of the cost, and estimates that
the main Tokaido line could be con-
verified to broad gauge in II years ana
other lines on the main island OF Japan
within % years.-Popular Mechanics

NEW WONDERS or THE X.RkY.
One Ct Its Most Remarkable Uses Is
to Determine Age of Human
Beings.

OF all the wonders that the X-ray is
responsible for none is more remark
lble than it's ability to tell age in hui
man beings.
Recently in Cincinnati, youth was
arrested for striking and seriously in
turing a fellow workman. He stated
when he was arrested that he was
nineteen years of age. Learning the
seriousness of the charge against him,
he defendant and his father asserted
hat he was but seventeen years old,
and demanded that the boy be at once
turned over to the Juvenile authorities,
as the law of this state prevents a
prisoner under eighteen years OF age
being tried in criminal court.
Thoroughly convinced that the
youth was at least eighteen years old,
he juvenile court physician decided to
have X-ray photographs made OF the
epiphyseal bones of his hand, elbow
and hip, and also photos OF the same
bones of a seventeen-year-old youth.
Comparison, it was hoped. would then
settle the matter, as it is known fact
in, medical circles that when boy
reaches the age of eighteen years those
bones become hardened.
The photographs developed from the
X-ray pictures of the bones Of the boys
| showed that those of the seventeen
year-old boy had not hardened, but
those of the defendant in the case hao
done so. The physician Immediately
fixed the age Of the boy at eighteen
| or more.
