DISLIKE THE TERM "HANDS"
British Writers Suggest Use of work
ers" to Designate the ToIers
of Both Sexes.

In England some object to "hands,"
meaning "workmen" and wish the lat
ter term to be used. But what of wom-
en- now doing mems work for the same
pay? A London journal suggests
workers" as a single term for both
sexes.
What is the objection to "hands?"
asks Philip Hale in the Boston Herald.
Hand" and "hands" were used in ref
erence to an artist, musician, writer,
actor, as well as workman or work
woman. Thus Evelyn in 1914 spoke
of pictures in miniature painted by
rare hands. Later we read of "a
band of music consisting Of the best
hands from the opera and both the
theaters."
Hands" for "workmen" goes back
as far as 1855. In Olmstead's "Slave
States" we read: "The children be-
gin as quarter hands,, advancing to
'half-hands' and then to 'three-quar-
ter hands, and finally to full hands,"
The late Mr.. Mundella objected to
"hands" because the word indicated to
him the disappearance of the old rela-
tionship between master and man.
1--WE employ thousands. We do not
know their faces. They are hands
they are not men," Arnold Toynbee,
social economist, delighted in the term
because an employer now can buy only
the workman's "hands;" "his life is
now his own, to be cherished as Il no
BILE independence"
The London Daily Chronicle speaks
Of "hands" as a "Yankeeism." The
term has been used by Englishmen
from the middle of the seventeenth
century.

Mise Fish.

Scientists haye discovered how fish
can find their way to fresh water.
Their studies Of the resistance of salt
water fishes to the decayed and de-
composed things, has led to an explain
alton of their habits.
1t appears that herrings can sense
differences In heat and cold as small
as n quarter of a degree or less. They
appreciate the fact that only trace
OF an acid or alkali is present in wa
ter. SO sensitive are herring said TO
be to acids and alkalis that the sci
entlSts propose that these and other
fish be used to detect the chemicals
instead OF the litmus paper, which
chemists use, and In the same manner
that canary birds are used to discover
traces of poison coal gas in mines and
elsewhere.

PEKlNG SEES DEVIL DANCE
Ceremony Instituted During the Using
Dynasty More Than 200 Years
Ago, Enacted by Priests.

Picking recently witnessed the cere-
mony instituted during the Using
dynasty, over 200 years ago, known as
the devil dance" 1t took place in the
Lama temple, and was witnessed by
several thousand devout Buddhist
worshipers, says East and West.
Eighty priests danced in groups, vary
Ing In number from two to twenty.
All the celebrants wore gorgeously en-
broldered silk robes and masks repre-
sentlng animals. Conspicuous We're
heads of tigers, oxen, sheep and deer.
The dance ended at two o'clock in the
afternoon, when 4 procession of the
priests formed and proceeded to the
east gate of the temple grounds, where
the paper eflgy Of nude woman was
burned.
The legend which the ceremony COM
memorates Is that the devil, In form
Of a woman, ran about the country,
casting spells and working mischief to
crops, animals and humans. Attempts
to catch her We're futile until the Bud
dha sent q charmed horse to run her
down. The animal overlook the flee
ing woman after race of 10000 Ii,
seized her in his teeth, brought her to
n place Of punishment where she was
publicly destroyed by fire. The female
figure Is not alike or all occasions;
sometimes an old bag is represented,
but generally the woman is young and
comedy, as being more dangerous to
mankind.
The ceremonial recalls to those who
have Travelled In Mohammedan coun-
tries the religious fervor Of the "danc-
ing dervlshes."

New Idea of Primitive Man.

A new idea of primitive man was
put forward by an Irish professor re-
Gently. He states that the direct an
cestors of primitive man never went
on all-fours, had lived in trees, and,
by climbing up and down the trunks,
cultivated the upright habit Of the hui
man race. He points out that the fore
limb was never used only ais a sup
port for the body. 1t seems quite
credible, however, that they may have
gone on three legs, using one as a
land when required, and this might
account for the general use of the
right hand in man.

SAID TO
Be WAR NECESSITY
''GCiiv Give Us Cigarettes Is Cry
That Comes Daily From
Boys In Trenches

There s never been a time in the his
tory of man when the world has not
divided into pros and cons on some
question Of conduct.
We are now settling one of these ques-
tions in the fiercest, blOodiest, most
terrible wars that the world has known
and in contemplating the settling Of the
great problems at issue we are apt to
pay small attention to the innumerable
smaller disputes that are in no way a
part of the great Issues between nations
but which nevertheless are being finally
settled through the developments of
this great struggle.
We are having the answers to such
questions as els France Decadent9 Has
her manhood flooded away ON seas of
pleasure?" "Can the United States
raise a real army of fighting men on
short notice." "Will the new features
of subsea and air fighting make war
more fearful and more brief than here
tofore?'' And all Of these answers are
as we would have them for the good of
the greatest number.
One of the comparatively less impor-
tant questions which is now being set
tied once and for all is the question of
the cigarette. There has been two dis
tinct and positive attitudes towards Gig
arctic smoking these sides have been
taken by individuals, by communities,
by states; the opposition to cigarette
smoking has been vigorously pushed,
and yet year by year the consumption
and sales of cigarettes has increased
and more significant than mere increase
in consumption has been the change in
the class to which cigarette smokers be-
long.
Today cigarette smoking is the habit
of some of the greatest men among our
lawyers, our doctors, our teachers and
our preachers.
Such movement indicates that there
is more involved in the question than
mere partisan opinions, and that this
more is in favor of cigarette smoking
Now comes the testimony of the men
in the trenches; the brave men who
are fighting the greatest war of the
world and then in no doubt, no hesita-
cry is f'Give us cigarettes;

Stock Prices Drop

Extreme weakness developed in to-
day S stock market ON receipt of the
shocking news from Russia. Prices drop
ped from to s points with United
States Steel leading IN the downward
movement, that issue selling at a new
low record for the year, below 80.
That the broad decline was not more
preeipitate was due doubtless to the
fact that Russia has been regarded for
a long time as practically a negligible
factor in the war; that all the allies
must get along somehow without her ac-
tive help. Nevertheless, it is not to be
ignored that Russia was at least count
ed on to hold large German army on
her front.

Then the increase in freight
shipped was much less than the in

ed by roads?
Yes. Decidedly SO! so 3-10So
less"
Why then do people complain that
there is a shortage of cars, if the
carrying capacity has increased SO
much more than the tonnage
shipped?
That is the Big Question-its
2 a7iswer is the solution of the problem.
The cars are not loaded as heavily as
they should be. Therefore the in
crease in capacity does not take care
of the increase in tonnage to be
shipped. Most cars go forward
loaded to less than half capacity.
That means other freight must
wait until the empty space in that
carr as well as the loaded space is
released. In 1907 the average car
capacity was a bit more than 27
tons; the average load for that year

In a few weeks" said Clifford,
