Crops 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 perishnble products became an extensive industry in the state the farmers feel themselves to some de- gree independent of railroad schdules and freight rates.
 Motor trucks have solved the prob lem of fast delivery for Jersey farm CTS. Hundreds of big cars, some of them with n carrying capacity of sev- 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.

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

\ Danish doctor at d hospital in Paris has invented d cardboard leg which enables the Wearer to go about without crutches two days after his limb has heen amputated.
 The materials used are two sheets uf cardboard about three sixteenth of an inch thick. and handageS soaked in Il starch solution. After careful meas ulementS 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 q cup, and the patient can wear the leg long before the wound is completely healed. He can thus get air and exer- else. which il iS usually impossible to obtain al this phase of his conVales- cence: also he has to suffer none of the inconvenience of CrutChes, a stick sufiicing for his needs. The leg prop erty treated, lasts from six months to Il year. by which time a permanent artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by Census Taken by National Com
 mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de- cidedly on the increase. This fact is revealed by reason of Il census taken of the insane, feeble minded, epileptics, inebriates and drug addicts by the National Committee for Mental Fly
 giene. Analysis of this census is found in the Mental Hygiene. It was com piled by Horatio NJ. Pollack, statistiCi- an of the New York State Hospital commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush, statistician of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene.
 The federal census bureau estimates that the increase of population from April 15, 1910, to January l, 1917, was l 11.S0 per cent. The same government agency found in 1910 that the number of insane in institutions was 1S7,79l. 1. The census taken in the present year revealed 234,055 insane persons in in- stitutions. Thus the increase in the insane in institutions during the corre- spending period was 24.64 per cent, n
 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 insanity has been greatest. In this state the | population increase was 9.S4 per
 cent as compared with percentage
 of increase of insane in institutions of
 273S The neighboring state of lndi- ana shows an even greater disparity
 with percentages of 4t84 and 27.A re- spectively.
