sands of men who had lost limbs In
the war, 1t would be impossible to get
enough artificial substitutes unless
aliens were employed. To meet the
difficulty q skilled limbs committee of
physicists, engineers and surgeons was
formed. which had directed the produc-
tion Of limbs by wood carvers, pattern
makers and mechanics In shipbuilding
yards and engineering shops, and thus
they had been able. by employing
home industry alone. to supply arti-
fetal limbs In sufficient quantities and
quality to satisfy requirements.
Methods Of Treatment.
Prof. v. Putt of Bologna dealt with
the surgical treatment pertaining to
amputations. He described the meth
DDS Of DR.. Giuliano vanghetti, who
first conceived the idea and the means
Of drawing living energies from the
stump of an amputated limb and trans
mitting voluntary movements to an
artificial member. It is now possible
for a man who has lost both hands to
use a knife and fork at table, dress
himself and even shave with safety
razor. This miracle is due to the treat
ment known as cinematization, and the
perfection to which artificial limbs
have been brought.
In order to obtain this voluntary
movement the muscles are allowed to
overlap the bone of the stump and are
SO arranged as to give two prOtuber-
ances similar in shape and size to two
small fingers. The muscles are so ar
ranged as to give alternately the flex-
ion and extension movements and
where that cannot be obtained q rotary
movement can be given. In this way
artificial limbs. instead of being mere
ly supports for the stumps, can them
selves be manipulated.

O'COnnOr Cites History in
Connection With Troubles
of the People of Ireland

If the Irish rebellion had not been
followed by its sequel it would have
been by this time forgotten and con-
demned by the vast majority of the
Irish people; but, as matter Of fact,
writes T. 7. O'COnnor in Cartoons
Magazine, when the rebellion was put
down by one of those extraordinary
blunders so often committed in the
management of Ireland by England,
dictatorial powers were given into the
hands Of soldier of not particularly
marked intelligence. He declared he
was going to put down seditiOn and re-
belliOn in Ireland forever. Well, If
he had read any Irish history he
would have known that that had been
said for six centuries. He then pro-
ceeded, In secrecy, in the darkness of
cells, cOnvlcting on evidence not yet
published, these unfortunate young
men, and then taking them out in
patches in the cold, bleak morning and
executing them in the back yard of Il
Jail. One of them was so severely
wounded that he had to have planks
put on each side of the chair on which
he had to sit while he was being shot.
All these executions produced pro-
found revulsiOn of feeling in Ireland
and In America.
Now, that is the beginning of the
trouble in Ireland. If you read history
you will find that there has never been
anything so incalculable in its effects
upon the human soul as an execution
for an ideal.

Kite Balloons Form Very
Important Part of Naval
and Military War Forces

"The observation balloon has been
one of the important discoveries of the
year." observes writer in Aviation,
who continues:
Its value is indicated by the rapid
growth Of both personnel and craft.
1t is found today on every front, and
almost every mile Of that front, for the
excellent reason that it has proved in
dispenSable to the modern army in the
field.
''The observation kite balloon, as at
present used, was the invention of
Captain Won Sigsfeld and Major Won
Parseval of the German army, and
the craft was constructed by the Par
seval Airship company. The British
army got its first idea of the kite bal
loon from the Belgians. Early in 1915
Squadron (nOw Wing) Commander
Maitland was so much impressed by
the excellent service it was giving the
Belgian artillery that he laid a pro-
posal for similar equipment before the
board of admiralty. This was adopt
ed, orders for the construction of the
craft were placed and the British K-B
made its first appearance in the war
area in the early spring of 1915.
"As then constructed by the British,
the balloon was found to be consider
ably more reliable than the spherical,
being steadier and more airwOrthy,
and therefore more accurate in obser-
walton,
"The great success of the first craft
led to Il demand for more, and the
British naval authorities made expert
mentS with them on ships at sea,
More and more urgent grew the de-
mand from both branches of the serv-
ice, until today kite balloons form an
important part of both naval and mil |
itary forces.
"The work of these craft is too wide

fastened together by saddle of two
l by 6-inch boards.
There should also be board nailed
across the front to help hold the sides.
AS framework for the back, 2 by f.
inch pieces are placed upright feet
from each side and nailed to the floor
and sides. A crosspiece is put in 2 feet
from the floor. The back boards are
nailed to this framework and to the
sides. A guard rail should be placed
across the back the same as on the
sides. The sides should be fastened
firmly together so that no storm will
blow them down. The cracks should
be covered with batten. Guy wires
should be put in place to keep the
house from blowing over if in an ex-
posed position.
For Fattening Pigs.
The A-type house is very good for
a few fattening pigs and may be used
to house a sow and litter in warmer
climates. In sections where cold win
ters are experienced the front should
be closed in. This will make a good
shelter for sow and her spring litter.
If the front is to be closed this should
be decided before the house is built.
This Is necessary for two reasons.
First, provision for ventilation should
be made, which can be done by insert
ing three or four 6-inch pieces of 2 by
finch material at the apex and spiking
the sides firmly to them, thus provid-
ing series of pinch spaces for venti-
latiOn. The saddle-boards are raised.
Second, the insertion Of the blocks to
provide for ventilation will change the
angle at which the boards for the
back are cut.
In building the front proceed the
same as with the back. The door
should be % inches by 3 feet. If the
front is closed the window in the front
should be on hinges so that it may be
opened to give ventilation.
II the weather is severe at farrowing
time, one or two lighted lanterns hung
In the top of the house will make 1t
quite comfortable for the young pigs.

STUDY history,
look into the life and habits of the an
cient Greeks, and you will find that the
nations which used the plainest, sim
plest and most meager fare were
among the strongest, while those who
descended to table habits bordering
upon gluttony rapidly retrOgraded.
Why? Because the mind of the glut-

his whole body is sluggish, the organs
are so clOgged that they are unable to

physical and mental decay.
Eating is matter of habit. We

we Americans consume perhaps twice

Movable or colony hog houses are
especially suited to the needs of the
farmer just starting in the hog busi-
ness and also for pig club members
who are doing their part to help the
10 per cent increase needed in hog
population. These houses, especially
where the winters are mild, will meet
all the needs of hogs for shelter both
from the hot sun of summer and the
dampneSs and storm of winter. They
can be moved from field to field as
the pigs are changed from one grazing
crop to another. Their use makes it
easy to keep the hogs healthy, as the
house can be moved as soon as one
place becomes unclean.
A-Shaped House.
Two types-the box-shaped house
and the A-shaped house-are described
by specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture in a recent
publication. This article deals with
the construction of the smaller or
A-shaped shelter. The A-shaped house
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion and plans, is 8 feet wide and 6
feet from back to front. The founda-
ton is made of three runners of 4 by
finch material or straight poles. A
floor of 1-inch material is nailed to the
three runners. Pieces 2 by 4 inches
are nailed along the outside of the
floor to keep the sides from spreading
at the bottom.
The sides are built on the ground
and then set up. Each side is made of six
] by 12-inch boards 8 feet long. These
are held together by two by finch
crosspieces, one about inches from
the top and the other about 81 feet.
About 10 inches from the bottom of
the sides 2 by 6-inch piece is nailed
edgewise and braced at the ends by
blocks as shown in the illustration.
This piece will act as guard rail and
prevent the SOW from laying on her
pigs. The two sides are set up and
