REGULARITY OF LOST HAND
That He Should BE Able to Feel II
Alternately open and Close Puz.
zlcs Soldier.

A British soldier writes: Most peo-
pie, | think, know that when n person
has lost a limb, that person still re-
tnins the Sense" or feeling, Of the
missing limb. AS a case In point, I
might mention that n friend of mine,
who had lost n leg in the war, In an
unthinking moment took n step on the
missing leg and came to grief. I my
self had the misfortune TO lose my left
hand on the Messines ridge last June,
and all the pain | have suffered from
the wound has been in the hand which

part Of 1t all is that on alternate days
the fingers Of the missing hand open
and close; that Is TO say, Yesterday
they were closed; today they are open.
Tomorrow they will be closed again.
Can this be explained? This change

twice, on restless nights, have actu-

hand. When the fingers are closed
they are exactly in the same position
as IL they were still grasping the re-
volver. That 1 can understand, but
why should they open on alternate
days? The only explanation I can Of
fer is that what remains of the hand
after / was wounded was amputated
exactly twenty-four hours later. Also,

o'clock in the morning, and was oper-
ated on about the same time the fol-
lowing morning. and the opening and

this time.

WHERE SOLDIERS ARE BETTER
Army officer Explains the Benefits OF
Development Of Physiological
Resistance.

In an interview with Surgeon Gen.
eral Gorgas for the American Maya
zine. about the chances your boy has
to come back alive, the author says,
referring to another army officer for
the moment:
"Major Grille said another thing
which every mother and father ought
to learn by heart. He said: The
thing which affects wounded mans
chances more than almost anything
else Is physiological resistance. That
is where the soldier puts ii all over
the civilian every time. When a man
goes out from the worries, RESPONSE
bllities, anXieties, and irritations of
civil life to the peaceful pursuit of

went on seriously:

were grit clean through. They laughed
at things which would have finished
them completely before they went into
the army. They had developed the

chances-physiologic resistance. And
It was their life as soldiers that gave
them this new possession"

How to Make a Service Flag.

Perhaps II is due to the familiar pic
ture of Betsy Ross with the first Amer
lean flag spread out upon her lap and
George Washington and two of his
friends looking on that gives us such a
bias to the handmade flag, but never
theless. sentiment attaches TO II that
belongs to no machine-made projuc-
ton. Very properly, we should feel
about our service flag in this way. An
12X12-inch service flag may be made
from one and third yards Of four-inch
wide red ribbon. ten inches of white
ribbon and enough blue to form the
stars TO which you are entitled. Cut
the red ribbon into four pieces. two of
rs inches length and the other two so
that they finish Off four and a half
inches, allowing for seams. Sew these
strips together. inserting the white
piece for the field. Then applique a
blue star. or embroider II. according 10
desire. The white field will be varied
in size I'm accordance with the num-
Der OF stars used.

RAISING Goats In Honolulu.

The island of Kahoolawe is to be de-

production Of 10000 goats for market

ture and forestry has authorized Chair
man Arthur II. Rice to confer With the
governor and land commissioner on a
plan to withdraw the island from the
forest reserve and offer it for lease.
This has been done and Chairman Rice
has placed in the hands Of Deputy At
torney General Smith the duty Of
drawing up the necessary papers. Ka-
hoolawe now produces goats and sand.
1t is believed that thousands of goats
of marketable quality can be exported

UKRAINIA BREAKS UP
INTO SMALL STATES

London, July 20.-The new Gin
dependent state" of Ukrainia is
breaking up into small states, Just as
Russia disintegrated after the Boil
sheviki came into power
Ukrainian villages are now virtual
ly Independent republics, held by only
the slenderest threads to the central
government at Kiev.
The newest political party is the
"bosiaki'-literally "the barefoot
ed"
The whole country is deprived of
mails. The peasant communities re-
fuse to have anything to do with any
agency of the "rada-the Kiev gov
eminent
II is difficult to find officials who
speak Ukrainian, because most of the
people who have any education at all
went to Russian schools and learned
that tongue, Forgetting the Ukrainian
language, which survives as peasant
speech.
The landowners and reactionaries
practically all speak Russian or Pol
ish. AS in Great Russia after the Boil
sheviki revolution, there are not
enough real leaders among the COM
mon people to prevent anarchy that
plays into German hands.
The foregoing information is taken
from Polish newspapers of Cracow,

"Yes?" The little New Yorker
spoke the word with just the right

81 was away back in these very
hills on little fishing jaunt last sum-
mer. We were camped up about
Eagle Grove, Bob Parks and I. The
fishing was fine. l never saw pref
tier trout.
Well, along toward shutdown one
afternoon l was whipping a partic-
ularly rough bit of the Little Green
River. l backed up against a steep
rock on the upper side of big pool
and was having the time of my life
trying to whip out some big trout.
Rock bottom makes pretty slippery
landing at best, and it was all could
do to keep my footing and make the
casts. Bob was farther upstream out
of sight.

Anyhow, seemed to feel, more than

me. l gave a startled look upward
and saw the nose and one paw Of
big grizzly. He was lying down on
the rock and sort of swiping lazily at
me with one paw, like a cat batting
at flying leaf.
"All the ice in that melted snow

AT that yell the bear forgot all

that sent bits of rock spinning into
the water, and whirled on all fours
to face Bob. couldn't see what was
happening, but l judged that Bob
sighted the bear at about the same
time that the bear sighted Bob. Some
foolish idea of distracting the bears

"The United States must be taken
down n peg. America is growing too
presumptuous. She is obtaining too
much of the worlds trade. She is in
terfering with Germanys commerce in
foreign lands, and plling up too much
wealth. Sooner or later we will have
20 show her with the sword the might
of Germany. and teach her not to in
terfere with our commercial develop
ment."
How many American tourists have
heard this kind of talk In Germany !!
They heard It. from all kinds of peo-
pie; from diplomats. from merchants,
from bankers, from professors in the
universities, and from the man In the
street. Yet. in years gone by they
paid no attention to II saw no German
menace. They merely pulled out their
chests with pride at the thought of
what a great nation they represented,
and dismissed the German threats as
idle boasts.
Designs Hard to Believe.
1t was inconceivable TO them that
sane people of a civilized nation could
actually think of taking up the
sword just because another nation
was showing some ability in capturing
part of the trade of foreign
lands. They could not believe that the
German government actually had in
contemplation a plan for making war
on the United States. taking away
large portion of its wealth in the form
of indemnities, and so Gripping Ii that
II would no longer menace Germany's
world supremacy.
Such tourist was Prof. Albion
w. Small. head of the department of
sociology of the University of Chi
cago. Professor Small knew Germany
as well as an American could. He
He married German woman; he
loved the German poets and the Ger
man philosophy; he had spent years
among the German people. Yet he be-
came convinced, after a time, that
Germany was actually planning blow
at the United States. He exposed the
plan in 1903-five years after the Span
ish-American war. yet he was given lit
tie credence In this country.
Tells of His Experiences.
Professor Small tells of his expert
ences and conclusions In a pamphlet
entitled: Americans and the World
Crisis" issued as No. . In the series
of University of Chicago War Papers,
as follows:
"In the summer of 1903 l was In
Germany on business which gave me
the occasion to sample the opinions
about our couptry of more different
classes of Germans than / had ever In
terviewed before. The itinerary sched-
uled stops at Cologne, Lucerne, Vienna.
Budapest. Munich, Dresden, Berlin,
and thence an excursion into Russia.
At each of these points. and In the In
termedlate travel, l had opportunities
TO talk with many men of prominence
and with as many more whom l could
classify as merely ordinary specimens
of their various types.
81 soon became aware that, quite
aside from the direct purpose of my
trip. l was gathering from these
sources a collection of significant and
cumulative evidence. Over and over
again Germans of different social posi-
tions, living in as many different parts
of Germany and neighboring countries,
volunteered the same opinion in almost
the same words:

NURSING SERVICE Is TO
BE TAUGHT IN COUNTY.

The Red Cross expects 10 organize
various classes throughout the
county in course in Elementary
Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick
within a short time. The committee
on Nursing Service is eager to have
everyone over l6 years OF age real
lie the practicalbility and great need
OF such a course.
With the numbers OF our force in
France increasing rapidly there is
greater need for nurses in the army
and the navy. A call for $4,000
nurses during 1918 has been issued
and will be met by the ready re-
spouse of those nurses who can 20
TO the front That is their patriotic
duty; but for those who can not go
their work is in caring for the civil
liam sick. There are however an in
sufficient number Of the latter class
to fill all the calls that both classes
have filled previously. With this
scarcity which will soon be felt and
the coming depletion in the ranks of
the doctors as they leave for the
front there falls new emphasis
upon the preservation of good
health of the public and the upbuild
ing of strong and vigorous young
people. Since there is to be lack
of skilled advisors to aid in this new
important duty there must be in
creased knowledge of the fundament-
ais which underlie the new RESPONSE
bility of the people The Red Cross
is ready TO supply this knowledge
through its Nursing Service Depart
ment which will offer courses in
Elementary Hygiene and Home Care
of the Sick to any who will take the
course. Such classes will soon be or
ganized under competent instruct
ors. The Importance of the work is
greatly felt by those familiar with
which will become more
serious as greater numbers of those
who care for the sick leave for the
front, Every one over 16 years of
age is urged to appreciate the OPP
portunity to prepare for the coming |
need and be ready to respond when
the announcement of the organiza-
ion of classes is made with in the
next few days.
