THE SPINNING MULE.

England's long supremacy in the cotton manufacturing industry was due in large measure to the inventive genius of Samuel Crompton, a farmers son, who was born near Bol- ton, England, 165 years ago today. Until Crompton invented the "mule," all muslins were manufactured in India, as English spinners were unable to make yarn fine enough for such delicate fabrics. In 1779, when he was only 25, Crompton invented the machine which enabled English spin ners to draw out long threads In large numbers, improving on the TIindoo product, and thus laid the foundation for Lancashire's great business as cotton spinner in chief to the world. In his youth Crompton was set by his mother to the task of spinningl She was hard taskmaster, and the boy, who was passionately devoted to books and music, had little leisure. Thus was supplied the incentive for producing a labor-saving device After several minor improvements, by which he was able to complete his al- lOtted task in less time than it for merly required he became deeply in- terested in the problems presented by the spinning industry, and at 2f he began work on the invention, known as a mule" which was to revolutions ize one of England's greatest indus. tTies

CLUB NOTES,

Could you please tell us what causes our baby to throw up so much? He is over three months old, he cries a good deal in the daytime and vomits terribly sometimes. He is very good at night. I nurse him regularly and I try not to eat anything that will have an effect on the milk so that it will not agree with him. In spite of this, he seems to gain right along, but would like to know what makes him cry so much. Mrs. E. L. F.
 Over-feeding Is probably the cause of the baby's vomiting, for at his age an infants stomach is very small, holding less than two ounces. If he nurses that quantity or more, the food will come up, especially if he is handled a great deal. Try to regulate the nursing and believe he will have no further trouble along that line. The frequent crying and restlessness may indicate digestive disorders. You gave me no information in regard to his bowels which Is very important. Give the baby a tablespoonful of cool water to drink several times during tho day. and occasionally @ little orange or prune juice. These changes in diet, together with gentle massaging of the bowels two or three times a day will probably bring about desired results. If not, write me further and go more into detail.

GOLD STANDARD
 MUST BE ESTABLISHED

London, Dec. 3-Conditions neces- sary to the maintenance of an effective gold standard should be restored with out delay after the terms of peace are signed, reports committee headed by Lord Cunliffe which was appointed to consider currency and foreign eX- change problems after the war. The committee said:
 Unless the machinery which long experience has shown to be the only effective remedy for an adverse bal ance of trade and an undue growth of credit is once more brought into play, there will be grave danger of a pro- gressive credit expansion issue and so jopardizing the international trade po- sition of the country"
 To maintain the gold standard the committee recommended cessation of government borrowing as soon as pcs sible, establishment of an adequate sinking fund out of the revenues and the raising of the Bank of England discount rates.

A LEAGUE OF PEAOE.

Some Of our statesmen feel that the proposed League to Enforce Peace. or any League of na tions, would bind us too closely, and that our voice in such league might not count more than that of some insignifcant nation. They feel that we would be outvoted by the European members of the league, whose interests would not accord with ours. If our Mon roe doctrine, they say, which we al- ways regarded essential to our safe- ty, should be challenged, we would have to abandon it should a majority of the league decline to sanction 1t.
 Unless we take steps to prevent war, we must carry an enormous mill itary and naval establishment, with tremendous costs for munitions and munition plants. Another war like this. and the world would be reduced to absolute ruin.
 The very least that should be done is to form an international council to meet every year to adjust relations
 between nations and maintain har- mony. There Is much less likeli- hood of future wars if the represen- tatives of the powers are working to-
 gether in an international body Whether 1t Is wise to give such a body the power to declare war
 against refractory member of the
 council, is a question that time woul, have to work out. It is not probable that our government would consent to grant such power at the first

RoR ARMENIAN MAssAoREs.

Enver Pasha, the Turkish Minister of War, like his associate, Talaat, did not hesitate to take full responsibil- tty for the extermination of the Ar menians. Tn protesting to Enver against these outrages," says Am bassador Henry Morgenthau in the December Worlds Work, q began by suggesting that the Central Govern ment was probably not to blame for the massacres. I thought that this would not be displeasing to him.
 Of course I know that the Cabi- net would never order such terrible things as have taken place. I said You and Talaat and the rest of the committee can hardly be held respon- sible. Undoubtedly your subordin- ates have gone much further than you have ever intended. I realize that 1t is not always easy to control your underlings.'
 "Enver strengthened up at once. saw that my remarks, far from smoothing the way to quiet and 1 friendly discussion, had greatly of tended him. I had intimated that things could happen in Turkey fol which he and his associates were no | responsible.

water and the filtered product again put into it. the cork securely tied in and then it was put in tepid water and boiled for 20 minutes. When cool it was ready for use and drachm was injected by the physician subcu- taneously in the under side of the up- per left arm.
 The bottle was then filled with alco- hoI as a preservative and the patient took the rest of the contents in tea spoonful doses three times daily. The Improvement was so prompt and de- clded that at the end of month he wanted 1t repeated. The same pro- cesses were again applied except that the injection was made deeply into the biceps muscles. This completed the ! treatment and while he had pre- viously applied treatment to his throat daily and had taken a laxative every night for the previous two years, he | found no occasion for either for over \ year.
 In other cases about a drachm of the patients own blood is taken from one of the veins of his arm. This is then put through somewhat similar | treatment except that 1t is not boiled. About 15 cubic centimeters are then reinjected into the vein. From this l injection the patient sometimes has a pronounced reaction, followed by a tremendous amount of vigor and ambition There seems to be an amount of dynamic energy imparted to the blood by this process that Is re- markable in its revivifying effects.
 In the case of young mother who did not secrete enough milk for her | baby, a teaspoonful of her own milk was made into terum and 15 centi- meters cubic were injected and the balance was taken in teaspoonful doses, after which the flow of milk was greater than the demand.
 I would be glad to go into details regarding the technique of all of these wonderful methods of using autogenu- ous serums, but 1t is better and safer to have the work done by the doctor. I will gladly give details to your phy- sician if he is not thoroughly familiar with the process. He will find the treatment perfectly safe if properly used.

BARBARA FRTTCHIE.

Barbara Fritchie, whose name is known wherever English is spoken by reason of Chittier's immortal poem, was born in Laneaster, Pa., 162 years ago today. She died in Dre- flerick, Md, in 1862. and the body of the heroine rested in the ancient cemetery there until 1913, when the Barbara Fritchie Memorial Association had 1t removed and inferred beside the remains of her husband. The famous appeal, "Shoot. if you must, this old gray head, but spare your country's flag, she said," has inspired millions of American school children with patriotism and devotion to the Star Spangled Banner.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The low temperatures prevailing during the past week have no imme- diately apparent unfavorable effect on bullet egg production if the egg yield of the birds in the laying con test at Storrs may be taken as q cri terion. During this seven day pe- riod, the 1000 birds have laid a to- tai of 1,218 eggs which is at the rate or 11.4 per cent. If we compare the heavy breeds with the Leghorns with respect to their rate of output, we find that the Leghorns were lay ing at the rate of 21.5 per cent. for the week while the corresponding per cent production for the heavy breeds was only 13.1. Within another month, however, we may normally expect the heavy breeds to forge ahead and then to maintain the up per hand until about the first of April

TODAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first Secretary of the Navy in
 the cabinet of an American president was George Cabot, who was born in Salem, Mass, 167 years ago today. He had been a United States senator before he was made the first Secre- tary of the Navy in 179S He held the office but short time, and in most lists of cabinet members Ben jamin Stoddard is the first name given. Cabot and Stoddard-the lat ter a cavalry leader in the revolution were. like most of their successors, almost wholly ignorant of naval af- fairs and the ways of the sea. A ma jority of the heads of Uncle Sam s navy have been lawyers although the present incumbent is a newspaper editor and publisher. Lncoln's Sec retary of the Navy, Gideon Wenes, was one of the few practical naval men to hold the post.

Francis Xavier lived in the sixteenth century, and was one of the first to respond to the appeal of St. Ignatius of Loyo1a, founder of the Society of Jesus. He carried the Gospel to Goa, Travancore, Malacca and Japan, and was preparing for an invasion of the great and, at the time, mysterious Chinese Empire, when he died.
