THE FLAT HEAD AND FLAT FOOT

There is always the color Of pole
gray in everything. 1t even now sp-
pears as foil for the red color of war
Because the United States regulations
prescribe that men with flat feet can
not be accepted in the army or navy,
the martinets in the departments who
are interpreting all regulations by a
rule of thumb, are rejecting young wo-
men applying for positions as type
writer's and in clerical positions Of
that service as unfit because of flat
feet. Two young women were reject
ed for that reason in New York on
last Tuesday.
One of the young women is reported
TO have stated that she did not ex-
pect to run the typewriter with her
feet No mstterl 1t is so written
that any person so disqualified can
not serve in the United States army or
navy. One might argue until dooms-
day about the facts Of the case, without
effect, These two young women were
applying for positions in the eensot's S
office as typewriters. Some Of the
work coming out Of that office may be
open to the suspicion of having been
written with the feet.
This is the only plausible explsna-
tion for rejection on these grounds.
If the typewriting there is not done by
hand and the feet to be used must
show number Of curves, then we
may better understand this action.
Otherwise we must stand on this
record. There is no possibility that

BADNESS DUE TO PET DOGS
Doctor Holds CANNES Responsible for
Epidemic Which Has Appeared
Among Women In London.

From London comes a warning to
women who have pet dogs. Since the
start of the war many English women
have found that they were losing their
hair. A West End hairdresser, observ-
ing that he had had more cases Of fall
ing hair In the last year than ever be-
fore. regarded worry and grief as the
cause, but a physician advances an
other theory:
This explanation is partly correct"
says this physician. "The depressing
effect on vitality of fear, anxiety and
sorrow reacts with serious conse-
quences on the hair. But in my opin-
ion the epidemic. II there is an cpl
demic. is to be traced mainly to infec-
ton from dogs.
Every hair expert knows that In
nine out Of ten cases the premature
loss Of hair is due to dandruff. That
condition often results from the pres
ence of microbes whose great source is
the dog. Ordinary cleansing with soap
or shampoo preparations is OF pract-
cally no use. but simple antiseptics,
such as boric ointment, usually bring
about a speedy cure. As preventive
measure dispense with the dog"

MAN MEASURES AND CON-
QUORS
Importance of Mathematics Realized
When We Analyze Our Activities

Whatever may be said of mathemat-
ics as "whetstone of the Wits" or as
mental discipline, the fact remains
that the chief vtalizing factor Of the
subject is found in its practical use.
Historically speaking, much Of our ad-
vanced mathematics as well as our ele-
mentary mathematics sprang as a ne
cessity out Of very practical condit-
ions.
1t has been remarked that man
measures and conquors," and industri-
ally speaking we may safely affirm
that mans conquest depends very
largely upon his ability to measure
accurately. This task Of measurement
may be a problem in arithmetic, in
terms Of cubic yards, human hands
or horsepower or money, or the meas
urement may require more advanced
knowledge as the measurement of an
elliptical curve, or Of a cable swinging
freely between two supports, Brooklyn
bridge for example.
And let it be emphasized that this
measurement is not complete until it
is expressed in terms Of known units
that would be useful in builders bid
or contracts.
So, mathematics, more than we real
ize, is powerful factor in our msteri-
al and economic progress.-Colorado

FIRE THAT NEVER GOES OUT
Roaring Blaze Is Kept Up Winter sno
Summer In Fireplace In Dublin
Customhouse.

From time lmmemorial a roaring fire
has been kept burning in the handsome
fireplace ON the righthand side OF the
main entrance hall Of the stately Dub
lin customhouse. Wet or fine, hot or
cold, summer or winter, whatever the
Season of the temperature, this IRE is
never allowed to be eItinquished or to
die down. II burns In q huge orna-
mental open CRATE that holds close to
a hundredweight Of Goals and throws
out sufficient heat to warm the big
entrance hall even In the depths OF
winter, when the snow-laden storms
from the north sweep across the open
courtyard and defy the double doors
Of the main entrance. But in the
height Of summer 1t blazes still,
heaped high with the same generous
prodigality OF fuel.
During the two months or sweItering
heat the 1re has never mitigated its
stimulating glow, and the officials of
the customs. income tax and other
departments housed in the great build
ing on the way TO and from their
duties have had to walk d quarter OF
mile out OF their way to another en-
trance, so as to avoid the risk OF heat

Only the aged officials who re-
ligiously tend the ever-burning flame
remain unaffected by its influence.
Long years have hardened them, and
one of them sits even in a hooded
chair by the fireside, ready at any mo-

Various explanations have been
given as TO the reason for this con-
stant fire, but none of them proves sat
isfying.

TROUBLE AHEAD.

The deadlock In the ship building
program was solved this week by the
president dismissing both Gen. Goeth-
ais and Chairman DenhRm. Both were
treated alike, but does this solve the
question? The American people did
not know who Denham was, did not
believe that an obscure lawyer knew
how to build ships, and did not par
ticularly care what became Of him.
They did know Gen. Goethals, how
ever, have faith in his ability Us the
greatest builder Of the age, and be-
lieve that the interests fighting him
are preparing to put over the greatest
graft in the history Of the country.
They also care very muchly for the
man who built the Panama canal
without even q hint Of graft being at
tached to this greatest work of the
age. Gen. Goethals knew how to make
the government contractors give val
ue received, and his successor will
have to be equally as great or those
who have ousted the General will have
to answer to the people for the result
No German spies have yet done this
country as much harm as has Denham
and his friends.

The officers of the Lamar Rifle
Club announce that drill and other
military instruction, which was inter
rupted by the Chautauqua, will be re-
sumed. Drill practice will be held at
8 p. m. every Wednesday and Friday.
This will be a great opportunity for
those subject to call, to learn the first
lessons of a soldier There will un-
doubtedly be a need for thousands OF
non-commissioned officers and those
who are qualified to fill these posit-
ions will not have much trouble in
landing the jobs. AS the extra quail
1ications means extra pay for the men
there is no need of argument as to
why every man should avail him
self of the instruction offered by the
rifle club.
The Rifle Club Range, two miles
from the city, will be open to those
men and they will be givon an op-
portunity to get acquainted with a
military rifle. Tho club has about
forty rifles on hand.
The extra pay, which can easily be
earned, is as follows:
Marksman, $500.
Sharpshooter, $500.
Expert Rifleman, $500.
First class private, $500.
Corporal, $500.
Sergeant, $500.
Don't forget the meeting nights, and
put your shoulder to the wheel wheth-
er you are of military age or not.
The success of the boys at the front
is influenced by the actions of those
at home. Prowers county has always
bOasted Of her famous Company ID"

new work in putting just as good sold

psratfln Better Than AmbrIne.

The so-cslled ambrine, invented by
Dr. Bsrthe de Sandfort and used In
France for healing burns and other In
Examinations. is almost all paraftin. So
are Its several American limitations.
The Journal Of the American Medical
Association has been testing them, as
well as the many different brands Of
parafin. and 1t finds that the success
OF treatment with 1t depends upon the
kind Of paraffln used.
1t gives a formula with which any
one can make a parafin film similar
In chemical composition, but superior
in physical properties to ambrine. This
is Parafin 120-122 E., e7.5; olive oil,
1.5; asphalt, drops. And 1t says 1t II
exceedingly probable that further eI-
perience will show that for most pur-
poses simple paraftin will serve as well
as, II not better than, any Of the mix

This issue comes to the front in

Trial by jury, after evidence has
been taken and witnesses heard,
rather than injunctions issued by
judges without evidence and on the
basis only of prophecies, predictions

1T seems to be inconsistent with
