her dead rascal of a son was a

hurriedly carved out headstone,

board reading:
"LADYFINGERS

The Daily Short Story

younger, act younger, feel younger,
and acquired a vocabulary of baby

Mary and Sarah, after his dead

upon them all that luxury could

Get Yeur Mask Ready.

Captain B. c. Doust. medical
corps, U. S. army, and Lieutenant
A. B. Lyon, medical corps, U. s.
army, have recently carried out
some experiments OF the utmost I'M
portance to the health OF every per-
son in the country They have
demonstrated in a graphic manner
how anyone may avoid catching an
alleged cold" They described the
experiments in the Journal of the
American Medical Association Oct
u, 191S-Oct. II is a day of greaI
discoveries.
A chair was placed at one end OF
a long table, and at points from one
to 10 feet along the table agar
plates were placed. Agar plates
are plates containing a jelly-like
substance on which microbes grow
rapidly. An observer sat in the
chair and rinsed his mouth and
gargled his throat with a culture
Of bacillus prodigiosus, which is a
harmless germ that produces a Wig
orous brilliant red growth in the
agar plate.
The observer first spoke in ordi-
nary conversational tone for five
minutes. Cultures of the germ
were later found in plates one and
two feet from his mouth.
After speaking for 80 minutes,
cultures were not found more than
two feet from the speakers mouth.
Loud speech for five minutes
gave cultures in plates up to four
feet from the speakers mouth.

utes gave cultures on plates up to
six feet from the mouth.
The observer then put on a mask
of gauze and repeated the tests.
After a good many tests, with va
rious qualities of gauze and various
numbers of layers in the mask. the
doctors reach the following conclu
sions:
Il. During ordinary loud speech,
infected material from the mouth is
rarely projected to a distance OF
four feet, and usually less. A four
foot danger zone exists about the
patient, under these circumstances.
g During coughing, infected ma
terial from the mouth may be pro-
jected at least 10 feet. The danger
zone about q coughing patient has,
then, a minimum radius of 10 feet"
Mote that this refers to open face
coughing
So Masks of coarse or medium
gauze of from two to ten layers do
not prevent the projection of in
fected material from the mouth
during the coughing Such masks
are worthless, therefore, in pre-
venting the dissemination of resplr-
atory infections.
Il A three-layer buttercloth
mask is efficient in preventing the
projection of infected material from
the mouth during speaking o.
coughing. 1t is a suitable mask,
therefore, to be worn in connection
with respiratory diseases
Such a mask should be inches
wide, inches long. edges turned in
and sewed, tapes yard long

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a

ance, and l am considered beauti-
full. Ever since / was 16 ! have
chummed with a girl exactly my
opposite. She is frail and plain
looking, but she knows and thinks
more in 10 minutes than l do in a
year.
Several months ago she was jilt-
ed by a soldier. He had gone with
her long enough to make her love
him and he had given her an en-
gagement ring. While they were
engaged he started going with an
other girl and she sent back her
ring.
l promised her l would have re-
venge and so l flirted with the SOL
der at g. party given him when he
was on furIough. l got him where
1 wanted him and before he left for
camp he made me promise l would
write.
When he was here last time he
told me about his affair with my
chum. He no longer loved her and
he thought it the mans place to

wrong, but l no longer feel bitter
toward him. If l have revenge
now it will only hurt me. Can
be loyal to my girl friend and re-
main a friend to him at the same
time? A. Q. p.
Yes, l think you can be a
friend TO both. The man did a
stupid thing in choosing such a
means for breaking the engage
ment, but he should not be con-
demned for his mistake if he
thought he was doing the right
thing.
Present the mans point of view
to your girl friend and say that
you no longer feel spirit of re-
venge. Surely she will be generous

THE TWINS

Richard Ball was the happiest

rotund, beaming with health and
vitality, his laugh was the cheer
lest; but now there had come a new
element into his life, double ele-
ment, in fact, which made him
proud. autocratic. almost unbear-
able in his efferveScent, irrepress-

evening there was a ring at the

breath, came plunging into the coy,

'Babies-two babies," he gasped,
and in his tremuIous timidity let
the basket fall with a mild thump.

test against such rough treatment.

of them. ''Police!" he shouted.

The shortage of school superintendent, teachers
aud supervisors has reached such alarming pro-
portions that the government is proposing federal
action Accordingly there will be established as a
department of the bureau of education special
teachers agency to help communities to secure the
they need The latest reports have it that
the country is now about 10000 teachers short The
cause, of course. is primarily the war and the Sc
lectfve service act and, secondarily the lure of
greater wages il other professions. 1t will not be
the policy of the federal bureau to recommend
