Are We Living Too Fast?

Life in the great centers of the Unit
ed States has gained such impetus
that it makes few pauses in its rush
toward its own destruction. 1t hur-
ries us along in its current of excite
ment, battering us against jagged
rocks that jut across it from all an
giles, poisoning US, polluting our blood
with emotions that eat up red corpus
cles, and draining our sensibilities Of
their natural responsiveness.
Waste of physical energy is scarcely
worse than waste of mental forces.
Life ceases to be enjoyable that mo-
ment in which we leave off wondering
at it, when it no longer surprises us;
when it no longer has uneXplored Wis

lures, when our jaded palates are cal

When a company is in a column OF

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at hospital in
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-siXteenth of
an inch thick, and bandages soaked in
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg in
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else. which it is usually impossible TO
obtain at this phase of his GONZALES
cenee; also he has to suffer none OF
the Inconvenience of clutches. stick
sutlicing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
q year. by which time permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

PLATOON COMMANDS.

When the company is in line, to form
columns of platoons, the command is,
"Platoons right Oeft)." This is exc
cuted by each platoon as in the school
of the company.
The right flank men in the front
rank of each platoon face to the right
In marching and mark time. The other
front rank men oblique to the right,
place themselves abreast of the pivot
men, and mark time. In the rear rank,
the third man from the right in each
platoon followed in column by the
second and first) moves straight to the
front until in the rear of his front rank
man. Then all three face to the right
In marching and mark time. The re-
naming men of the rear rank move
straight to the front for four PAGES,
oblique to the right, place themselves
abreast of the third man, cover their
file leaders and mark time.
Before executing this movement with
platoons, the captain makes it point
to see that the guides on the flank
toward which the movement is to turn
are covering-that~is, are in a straight
row, so that the pivot men, whose po-
sitions are governed by those of the
guides, will also be in a straight row,
which will bring the platoons into a
precise column. This is effected by
previously announcing the guide to
that flank.
Following the command, 'Platoons
right Qeft), MARCH" the concluding
command is to the company as a
WHOLE Forward, MARCH" or "Com-
pany, HALT"
Being in columns of platoons, to

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Census Taken by National Conn.,
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of a census taken
of the insane, feebleminded, epileptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Ety.
giene. Analysis of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by Horatio M. Pollack, statistici-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith M. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
April 10, 1910, to January l, 1917, was
II so per cent The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was 1871.
The census taken In the present year
revealed 234.055 insane persons in in
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
In which the disparity between growth
of population and increase in insan-
ity has been greatest. In this state
the population increase was 9.84 per
cent, as compared with a percentage
of increase of insane in institutions of
2738. The neighboring state of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of AGA and 27.44 re-
spectively.

Crons on Wheels.

Bumper crops in New Jersey are
being put on wheels and rolled
right into the city markets, fresher
and faster this year than ever before,
and for the first time since the grow
Ing of perishable products became an
extensive industry in the state the
farmers feel themselves to some de-
gree independent of railroad schedules
and freight rates.
Motor trucks have solved the prob
lem of fast delivery for Jersey farm
ers. Hundreds of big cars, some of
them with carrying capacity of sew
eral tons, have been put on the roads
between the farms and markets this
season. Many of these auto trucks
are owned by the farmers themselves,
having been purchased to replace
horses and market wagons.
