MAY ADOPT DECIMAL SYSTEM
England Seriously Considering Aban-
doning Its Anticipated Currency In
Favor of Simplicity.

England may adopt the decimal sys-
tenn for its currency. The agitation
for this reform appears to be gaining
favor with the British people, and
among the important agencies behind
the movement is the Associated Cham
Der rof Commerce OF the United King
dom. For generations schoolboys have
make one penny, twelve pence make
one shilling, twenty shillings make one
pound, twenty-one shillings sterling
make one guinea. twenty shfllings ster-
ling make one sovereign.
Then there were the symbols to
learn-the capital az" with a short
line across the shank of the letter for
the Latin libra" or pound; the little
: g" for shilling, or the Latin solidus;
the little I'd" for denarius, or penny,
and the "qr" for "quadrans," or quar-
ter of penny, standing for farthing,
though latterly "far" came to stand
generally for farthing. All American
schoolboys have studied the table of
English money in that part of their
arithmetic dealing with reduction"
which Is 'the changing of numbers,
either simple or compound, from one
denomination to another without alter
ing their values" Many men will prob
ably remember that as boys they
worked and labored over two kinds of
reduction" which were called "reduc-
ton descending and reduction ascend
ing"
The decimalizing of English money
Is, Of course, in the line of simplifica-
ton. Some of the financial powers
and papers are urging that parliament
take the matter under consideration,
and 1t is likely to come up for official
treatment and discussion at any time.

LIFTING AUTO OUT OF RUT
Simple Continuance Proved Effective
When Machine Mired and Serious
Trouble Seemed Certain.

Every one, at some time or other,
has doubtless come upon the unfor-
tuffate spectacle Of q big autotruck
stuck in a rut-perhaps holding up
traffic. The next time you encounter
such a catastrophe recall the expert
ence described by Edwin L. Purkess In
Popular Mechanics Magazine, and you
will be able to offer valuable sugges'
tons at a moment when such sugges-
lions count for their full value. Mr..
Purkess writes:
"a heavy auto truck became mired
in deep rut on o country road, and
the driver, without assistance and
with only the auto jack available, was
forced to devise some means of again
getting his machine under way. The
method employed was so simple and
effective that 1t may be of interest to
most motorists. Two saplings were set
across slabs of wood, laid on either
side Of the truck wheel. Then the tail
board chain was rugged between the
saplings Just inside of the wheel. A
tourniquet Of rope was made with a
small stick, and fastened to the free
ends of the saplings. The jack was set
under the rim of the wheel, and as the
latter was lifted the tourniquet and the
tailboard chains were drawn up to
bring the saplings close against the
wheel. BY this means the wheel was
gradually lifted out of the rut, and
extra slabs placed under 1t so that the
truck was then easily driven to solid
ground. Slabs were also piled under
the axle as precaution, In case the
wheel should slip back into the rut."

HER PRAYER WAS ANSWERED
Little Girls Appeal for Automobile
Ride Proved That Her Argument
Was a Good One

The six-year-old daughter of an at
torney has been taught from infancy
to have implicit faith In prayer. So
strongly has this been impressed on
her mind that practically all of her de-
sires and childish wishes sooner or
later find expression In prayerful ap-
peal.
The child is a motor enthusiast, and
on the first warm day after the severe
winter weather she asked her father
to take her out for a ride. He ex-
planned that their machine was put
away for the winter, and that 1t could
not be used at that time. The child
then sought her mother and asked her
to pray for somebody to come around
and take them out for a ride. The
mother tried to explain that such
prayer would be unavailing. but, I'M
went to her room and prayed that she
might have an auto ride. An hour or
so passed. and the little girl waited
expectantly and anxiously for the au-
tomobile to arrive.
Seeking to allay the child's disap-
pointment the mother started to ex-
plain more fully, when the shrek OF
an automobile horn was heard outside.
The child rushed to the door, and to
the amazement of the mother, neigh
Dor asked the girl whether she desired
to take a ride.
"Will you have room for mother,
too?' the girl asked.
mo, we just have room for one lit
tie girl" replied the man at the wheel.
The child hurriedly put on her coat
and cap, and as she left the doorway
she turned to her mother and said:
"See, mother, If you had prayed with
me you could have gone, too"
The mother is still wondering.

GooD-BY TO THE CLUTCHES
Artificial Limbs So CVeverly Devised
That LeaIess Men Have No Diff
Guilty In Walking.

There need be no legless soldiers to
hobhle pitifully along the streets after
this war. An American army surgeon
has devised new type of artificial
leg which can be manufactured by
Uncle Sam for about S25 and which
will almost perfectly reproduce the ac-
ton of natural leg, even if the sol
der has only stump left. 1t means
good-by to clutches, declares the New
York Evening Post.
This remarkable triumph of Ameri-
can inventive genius was described at
the New York Academy of Medicine
by Maj. P. B. Magnuson, medical re-
serve corps, a member of the surgeon
generals staff.
The artificial leg described by the
surgeon is the invention of Maj. Da-
vid Silver, another medical reserve Of
f1cer, formerly practicing physician
in Pittsburgh
'This artificial leg is of type far
ahead Of anything that has been devel-
oped abroad as a result of the war;"
Major Magnuson said. at is a better
substitute for a natural leg than the
government has ever been able to OBJ
tain heretofore for 800 each, and 1t
can he made for quarter of that
price. In this one thing alone Doctor
Silver has earned his salary as major"
The invention has been successfully
used by man with both legs ampu-
tated. Clutches are unnecessary. The
foot has q jointed instep and a rub
Der base which reproduces the natural
movements with astonishing success.
Major Magnuson asserted that 1t would
be hard to guess that man was wear
ing the support after he was practiced
In It's use.
Artificial hands and wrists were also
described.

So Pes s! z, SSS *
Autho~ of at GoodEOId SiSxssaT 2 &$A
sTENoGRAPHERs.

A stenograpner Is a young lady
who takes down the hard thunk
thoughts of her employer in a note
DOCK and afterwards edits and inn
proves them on d typewriter, as
soon as she has done up her cuffs, re-
vised her hair, manicured her nails
and modified her complexion.
There was time when there were
no stenographers, and business off
ces were gloomy places, in which
men swore and wore hats, smoked
cigars and kept their feet on the
tables and their coats on hooks in
the closets. Then the CHEEKY stem
ographer was invented and through
her coming, most OF the gloom has
been dispelled.
Stenographers are manufactured
by business colleges out of shop girls,
farmers daughters and assistant
hOusekeepers, with now and then a
high school graduate as prize pack
age They have good educations and
can spell almost any small word by
ear. However, the memory of the
average stenographer is somewhat
defective, which makes it almost INK
possible for her to understand her
notes after they have stood for a
few minutes.
photographers are great linguists
and are forever inventing new words
and phrases. A stenographer will
write Supreme Cuff" ''snuborgin-
ation," Witnesses be noses and
says" and other remarkable improve
ments on the language, without Civ
ing It a thought. Indeed most Of
them are very modest over these
achievements and will take half an
