Service Cross Design
Criticised by SCuIptorS

New York, June o.-That the dis
t;nguished service cross adopted by
the War department is inartstic and
ecclesiastical rather than military in
form is claimed by the National
Sculpture society, which asked the
government to recall the design, to-
gether with a shipment OF the
decorations sent to France for Amer
lean soldiers.
The society, which was active in
obtaining legislation authorizing
decorations for gallantry, complained
that the design for the cross was ac-
cepted and medals struck off without
an opportunity being given its mem.
bers and sculptors generally to
compete.

BEST OF MILK
ONLY FOR TOTS.
DR.. c. H. Wells, Health
Expert, Tells Mothers
How to Save Children
CUTTING DOWN
THE MORTALITY

warning to mothers TO be careful
Of the kind and cleanliness Of milk they
feed their babies. is made by Or. G. II.
Wells, the health expert, who, under
the auspices Of the State Council Of
Defense and cooperating with the Del
aware State Board OF Health, is con-
ducting a survey Of the State along
health lines
Every community. where an i'm
provement Of the milk supply has been
noted, said Dr. Wells, has resulted
In a reduction OF the infant mortality.
The milk supply. especially at this
time Of the year, has more influence
than any other factor Aside from the
spreading OF communicable diseases,
through infected milk, impure milk
causes a greater number Of cases OF
infantile summer complaint. resulting
In more deaths, than any other cause
The next largest number OF infantile
deaths is due to tubercular cows.
Mothers should feed their baby only
the best grade OF milk. 10 is really
criminal negligence for a mother to
feed her child milk that has not been
properly handled. Delaware expects
sOon to be in a position TO determine
the quality OF milk, from tests that
will be made
After procuring the best grade OF
milk, the first and most important
duty, is for the mother to keep the
milk cool and well covered. in a clean
receptacle. Mix can deteriorate great
ly, in uncovered bowls or receptacles,
and work harm to the baby.
MIX. in order 10 be Of proper
nourshment value to a babe should
not OF necessity be Of a high grade Of
butter Fat, and most Of it has to be
modified. The most essential thing is
to keep the milk covered and under
clean surroundings. But the milk
should not be adulterated.
MIX about which there is any ques-
iion. should be pasteurized in the home.
In this way, any danger OF summer
complaint, tuberculosis and the spread
Ing OF communicable diseases may be
avoided. Full instructions in the pas
teurlzing OF milk, may be obtained at |
any Child Welfare Station. or upon /
application at the office Of the Health |
Board.

duced one-third by proper supervision |

ORIGIN OF ALPHABET LOST
Generally Accepted Theory 10 That the
Letters First Came Into Use
Among the Egyptians.

The alphabet we use Is a queer
thing, when we come to think of 1t.
In effect, 1t Is made up of conventional
signs.
Turn this page upside down, and
you cannot read 1t. 1t might almost as
well be printed in Russian characters
or in Arabic.
Few subjects have enlisted on the
part Of language students more specu-
lative thought than the origin of the
alphabet. 1t Is today a matter much
in dispute.
There are those who ave. that on
pebbles almost as ancient as the early
ave dwellers of southern Europe have
been found inscribed characters rep
resenting the origin Of some of our
alphabetical letters of today.
But the theory most generally ac-
copied at the present time is that the
letters Of our alphabet originated with
the ancient Egyptians. They Were, to
begin with, Photographs"
Take "S' for example. In form 1t
represents a snake. The sound of the
letter is the kissing of a snake. There
you have it. What more could be de-
manded of a single letter in an alpha
bet? 1t is a whole picture.
20" is supposed to have been a knot
in a string-the letter being originally
q piece of sinew. Sc" was a bow pulled
taut. "C' was the followed hand, from
which one drank-whence the sound
Of the letter. 81" was the crooked
stick used in primitive times as a
pillow. "N'' was a pickax. "V" was IN
OK yoke. "X'' was a crossroads. "T''
was a tally-a primitive mode of count
ing. "Y' was the right hand upheld.

TRAIN MIND TO REMEMBER
BY the Proper Exercise Of viii One
Can Teach the Brain to Regis
ter Photographs.

A man who has a wonderful memory
says in the American Magazine:
If you can train your right arm to
deliver q good blow, you can train
your memory to retain facts. There
are just as many flabby-minded men
in the world as there are flabby-bodied
ones. Both kinds Of fiabbiness are due
to l~aziness, the one mental, the other
physical.
Above all, you must remember that
the brain Is a Photographic machine
and you can make 1t take an enormous
number of photographs. I don't con-
tend that each man may eventually
have as good a memory as his neigh
boris, but 1 am firmly convinced that
90 men out of 100 can have better and
more serviceable memories than they
now have.
Teach your brain to register photo
graphs of what you want it to retain.
Be enthusiastic about 1t. Work at 1t
every day while you are doing your
other work. 1t isn't very hard. Most
men use about 80 per cent of their
available energy when they're work.
ing. Concentrate on what you are
doing. Let it soak into you. Absorb
it-and always absorb 1t with the con-
viction that it is going to stay alb
sorbed.
There you have my recipe for a
good memory: Determine to remem-
Der, don't worry, and learn how not to
let your office worries and work go to
bed with you at highland, above all
things, get into the open and give ma
ture q chance. Fresh air and sun
shine have as beneficial IN effect on
the memory as they do on the other
parts Of your general makeup.

SALMON RUN LATE
IN YUKON RIVER
ICE IN BERING SEA SLOW TO
MOVE THIS
YEAR

DAWSON. Y. T., Aug. 16. = Big
king" salmon, which run in mil
lions up the Yukon river every sum-
mer, were about four weeks late in
making their appearance this wear
AS a result, white residents and
natives along the river who depend
on their run for their winter fish,
talked of salmon famine and the
horrors of a fishless winter.
Delayed winter ice in the Boring
sea at the mouth of the Yukon, it
is believed here, made it impossible
for the fish to enter the stream.
Boring sea ice this year, according
to reports, moved later than at any
time in the last decade.
The fish made their appearance
only a few days ago. They are TAX
en- from the river in nets and wheel
traps and cured in camps along the
shores.

Quee-est Coin on Earth.

Have you ever seen a MANILA? 1t Is
a coin used by natives of West Africa
and is said to be the most curious coin
in the world. In shape "manillas" re-
semble a horseshoe with the two ex-
tremities fiattened out like a camel's
foot. Being made of solid copper.
th~ree-eighths of an inch thick. they
weigh over eight ounces each. In
"face value" seven of these queer coins
are equivalent to rs cents, sc that 81
worth would be an uncomfortably
heavy load.
Not only are these "manillas" used
among the natives, but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. At n time
this strangely shaped money had quite
a large circulation in certain parts OF
the coast, but its use is now restricted
to a few bush towns and n includ-
ing Bonny, Brass and Akassa. MA
nillas" are now very difficult to obtain.
