DEATH RATE IN CHILE HIGH
Country Is Healthful and People Are
Sturdy but Little Attention Is
Given to Matters of Hygiene.

If due attention were given to the
most ordinary sanitary principles and
hygiene the death rate In Chile would
be extremely low In comparison with
that of most countries In South Amer
lea. In physique the Chlleans are the
most sturdy race on the continent. Liv-
ing by the seashorekr mostly in the
open air In the rural districts, a fine,
hardy manhood has been developed.
The highest death rate is In the towns
and cities, where dwelling houses lack
the most elementary appliances OF
sanitation. Smallpox and typhoid are
very prevalent, and some years fearful
cpdemics break out. Pneumonia and
tuberculosis are also prevalent.
But Chile's high death rate is main
" accounted for by the heavy infantile
mortality from contagious diseases.
The birth record of Chile Is one of the
highest In the world, but the mean rate
of increase In population by excess of
births over deaths reduces It to one of
the lowest In the world. Thus, says
the Christian Herald, one of the most
hezlthful countries In the world re-
Dues IT'S increase to minimum
though Ignorance, carelessness In the
treatment OF children and the bad sani-
tary conditions In the dwellings Of the
working classes.

"chariots Of Ironn at Cara.

History repeats itself down to mi-
mute details. the London Star reminds
us, and recalls previous operations mt
GAIA related in the Book of Joshua.
1t says:
IF that picturesque special cOrre-
spondent to whom we owe the narra-
tive of the sun and moon standing still
I'm the Valley of Ajalon had Witnessed
the onslaught Of General Allenby's
auxiliaries, he might have pictured be-
hemoth wallowing on the shore and
leviathan rising out of the sea. II Is
related in the Book Of Judges that
though the tribe Of judah took GAIA,
they could not drive out the inhabi-
tants of the valley because they had
chariots of irOn.'
ALLOWING for the Intervening CEN

SUPERSTITIOUS FAD is DEAD
Breaking of Mirror No Longer Causes
Fear Of III luck-Other Fam
cies Are Taboo.

II Is no longer fashionable to be SUI
perstltious. One may have Fremont
ton, presentment or even just .
plain, ordinary "hunch," and feel quite
up to date. But never must one ap-
pear SO Old-fashiOned as to have faith
IN the moss-cOvered omens of III and
good fortune, relates the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
Women cease to shiver when they
break mirror. At one time cracked
beveled plate would cause fit Of hys-
terics. That was before the time Of
the vanity box, with Its nose powder
puff and tiny pocket mirror. Few frag-
lie mirrors con long stand the strain
of directing the pOwdering and rOuging
Of the feminine face sixty times day
without going to pieces.
The hObble skirt, seconded by Tho
sheath gown, early did away with
women STOPPING to pick up stray pins
and hairpins for luck. From sad ex-
perience 1t was found to result In i'm

The opal, too. owing to its beauty.
has banished the evil spell given II
through the centuries. 1t seems that
its wonderful play of colOrs made the
ancients believe that it reflected the
eternal fires Of hades. Fashions intro
duced by jewelers. in recent years have
greatly assisted the superstitiOus to
throw off the weird ideas.
Perhaps the latest taboo that has
fallen beneath the executioner's knife
Of popular fancy Is that of the pea
cock feathers. How long time these
beautiful toned feathers have been con-
sidered ill-luck cannot he accurately
known, but probably since the gOr-
geous fowls whose tails form the most
perfect fans nature has ever produced

OFFICE MAY SOON
BE FIRST CLASS
INCREASED RECEIPTS POINT
TOWARDS ELEVATION OF
LOCAL PoSToFFIcE.

Receipts at the local postoffice are
increasing so rapidly that the office
may soon be elevated to the first
class, thereby securing additional
dlerks and other material benefits. In
order to be placed in the first class
the office must take in $4,000 an
nually, and the receipts are now run
ming very close to that sum,
The increase can not be attributed
to the recently advanced postal rates,
as the new rates are just becoming
effective, while the growth inreceipts
has been steady for more than year
being due partially to the parcel post
business and partially to general Local
business prosperity.
The service rendered by Capt. T. H
Sharp, the popular postmaster and
his corps of efficient assistants is most
excellent; but the elevation Of the of.
fee to the first class would probably
mean that an all-night service would

NAME OFFICERS
OLD OFFICERS ARE ALL
UN A MIN OUSLY
REELECTED.
DONATION M AD E
Gift of $1OO Will Enable the
Local Headquarters to Re-
main Open.

Through the donation Of $4,000
by a prominent Columbus citizen,
who desires his name withheld from
publication, the local headquarters
of the American Red Cross Society
will not be closed on account of lack
of funds as was thought. This sum
will enable those at the head of the
local chapter to continue the fine
work which has been in progress the
past several months.
A business meeting of the local
chapter was recently held and the
new form of bylaws suggested by
the central committee at Washington
was formally adopted. The officers
who have served the organization so
faithfully for some time past were
reelected and are as follows: W. N,
Pickett, chairman; Mrs, j. T. San
ford, vice-chairman; Chas. Hays,
treasurer; Mrs. Morris M. Green,
secretary; J. p. Woodward, chairman
of extension committee; 7. ]. Locke,
Jr., chairman of finance committee /;
|. l. Kaufman, chairman of member
ship committee; John F.s Frierson,
legal advisor. These ladies and gen.
tlemen together with Mrs. z. p Lam
drum, Frank P. Phillips and c, F.
Sherrod constitute the executive COM
mittee.
At the recent meeting held Chas.
Hays, the treasurer, submitted his
report showing receipts and disburse-
ments. This report shows that the
chapter had received $4,296.72 and
had disbursed $3,S37.94, leaving a
lash balance of $45S.7S. Most of the
none collected is sent to the treasur-
er Of the American Red Cross Society

the local headquarters have to be paid
out of funds donated for this specific
purpose.
