THR|F I |S AID
 ASIDE FR0M |TS WAR TIME WORTH

Advocating thrift in the schools, Jus tice Frank De Souza yesterday. in an address to county school superintend- ents, charged the educators to organ ize Thrift societies in the schools.
 Justice De Souza explained that the war savings stamp campaign was not for the purpose of buying stamps in order that the government might have use of the money, but for the greater and broader principle of teaching thrift and economy to children.
 Train the school children in a man ner that will last through life time and at the conclusion of the war when it is necessary to again readjust con ditions we will have future citizens who are well versed in economy" said the speaker.
 We must produce vastly more than we have ever produced in order to sup ply the allies" he continued. The government feels the great necessity for saving. The more we do without the less it will be necessary to pro duce and the more we will have to furnish the allies. If we do with less it releases that much labor for the pro- auction of the increased amount made necessary by the war"
 Justice De Souza pointed out the manner in which Thrift societies were being organized and urged the super intendents to take charge of the work in the schools. The importance of the work eould not be overrated, he said, as he advanced the idea that this was preparedness movement in the sense of making capable men and women to solve the nations future problems. The spirit of the address met ready | response from the superintendents who agreed to do their bit in the organiZa tion of clubs among the public school | pupilS

can stretch only about his height. If he tries to measure a tree by reaching around it, his fathom will hardly be more than five feet.
 The normal pulse beats seventy-two to seventy-five times a minute in health, and normal respiration is eigh teen a minute.
 The pace is called thirty inches, though few men. can without practice take a hundred consecutive steps of the same length. It is better to deter mine the length of the regular pace. or rather, the number of steps required to cover a given distance, walking natur- ally, than to attempt to take an arti- ficial pace of an unnatural length. The average man pacing thirty inches. 10s steps a minute, covers three miles an hour. The soldier marches 120 steps a minute, or at the rate of 3.4 miles an hour, but this is rapid going and reg ular halts are made. A ten-minute halt every hour would reduce the dis tance covered to 2.S4 miles each hour

LIMBS AND THE MAN,
 HOW THEY COMPARE
(From Outing)

If the forefinger is bent so that each joint may be measured separately they will be in the proportion of l, 1A, ?, and the distance from knuckle to wrist four times the length of the first joint. If the finger is strengthened out. the distance from the wrist to finger tip will be seven inches. supposing the nail joint to be one inch. The span with thumb and forefinger will then be eight inches and an inch longer with any of the three other fingers. From wrist to elbow will be ten inches, from elbow to forefinger seventeen, and from collarbone to forefinger thirty two.
 Sailors extend the arms fully and call the distance a fathom, though a man standing with his back to a wall
