to be carried out: Granting all that is

HAVING A GREAT ANCESTOR.
Il Would Be All Right If So Many Out.
siders Didn't Butt In.

In the American Magazine Sid says:
"a man tackled me for job the 9TH
er day. After enumerating his various
accomplishments he wound up with
final claim that was intended to i'm
press me with his importance once and
for all. He said that he was direct
descendant of Bishop Ump-te-ump, the
most learned man of his time In Eng
land. 1 asked what time that was, and
he said that it was about 400 years
ago. / told him that, allowing twenty
five years for each generation, he must
be the sixteenth descendant. No; not
the sixteenth he said, but the fif-
teenth.' All right l said, call 1t the
fifteenth. Now, let's take a sheet of
paper and see what your credentials
really are. Let's see. You had one ia
ther and one mother, two grandfathers
and, two grandmothers, four great
grandfathers and four great-grand-
mothers. eight Observation-Disclosures
and eight Observation-Disclosures.
and so on
Carrying the multiplication back to
the fifteenth preceding generation, I
showed that at the time the bishop
lived my friend, the applicant, had ex-
actly 80, 76S ancestors. In other words,
the bishop was only one Of the 32,76S
human beings who were his forbears
at that time.
"'You have mentioned the bishop.
But what about the other 32,767? I
asked. 1t seems to me that ought to
hear something about them If I am to
judge you by the good blood which you
say is In you. The bishop was all
right. You are lucky to have as much
Of him in you as you have. But the
bishops stock has been considerably
watered. / don't believe he would rec
ognize you. What about the rest?
"That is the trouble with this hered-
ity game-if you carry it back very far.

eler. She won't let geniuses or bone
heads breed In straight line. To the

that it keeps US all interested. Sur

MIHTINe OUR DIMES.
The Way the Silver Coins Are Made,
Counted and Packed.

The Way the Silver Coins Are Made,
Counted and Packed.
The process Of dime making is an
interesting one. The silver bullion Is
first melted and run into two pound
bars. These In turn are run through
Immense rollers and fattened out to
the thickness Of the coin. These silver
strips are then passed through a ma
chine, which cuts them into proper size
for the presses, the strips first having
been treated with a kind OF tallow to
prevent their being scratched In their
passage through the cutters. ~
The silver pieces are then put into
the feeder OF the printing presses and
are fed to the die by automatic ma
chinery at the rate Of 100 per minute,
$4,000 dimes being turned out in a
regular working day Of eight hours.
As the smooth pieces are pressed be
tween the ponderous- printing dies they
receive the lettered and figured Inn
preston In q manner similar to that
Of a paper pressed upon form OF
type. At the same time the piece Is
expanded In slight degree, and the
small corrugations are cut into Its rim
The machine drops the completed
coin into a receiver, and it is ready
for the counters hands. The instru-
ment used by the counter ifs not a
complicated machine by any means. as
one might suppose. 1t is simple cop
per colored tray, having raised ridges,
running across its surface at a dis
lance apart the exact width of a dime.
From the receiver the money is
dumped on the board or tray. and as
It is shaken rapidly by the counter
the pieces settle down into the spaces
between the ridges. All these spaces
being filled, the surplus coin is brush
ed back into the receiver, and the
counter has exactly L250 silver dimes,
or $1o5, on his tray. which number is
required to fill the spaces. The tray
is then emptied into boxes, and the
money is ready for shipment.-St Louis

Hanging the Flag.

When flag pole is in a slanting or
horizontal position if the rope holding
the upper corner of the flag be pulled
very tight and the rope holding the
lower corner be slackened somewhat.
thus allowing the flag to drop slightly
away from the pole, the wind will spill
out of it. This will do much to prevent
the flag from wrapping around the pole.
A little experimenting will show how
much to slack away the lower corner.
1t depends on the size Of the flag and
the angle Of the, pole.-New York Sun.

THE HUMAN SKIN.
Why White Races Invariably Die Out
Quickly In the Tropics.

One rea son-and a most important
one-why white races are unable to
COLOMBO the tropics. dying out inevita-
bly, in generation or two, is that they
have not enough sweat glands. The
sweat glands are the refrigerating APP
paratus of the body. They draw water
from the blood and pour it out upon
the surface of the skin, where its evap-
grafton keeps the temperature of the
body down. That is why we make a
person with a fever perspire profusely
it lowers the temperature. In draw
ing off the water the sweat glands
draw of also many impurities from
the blood, but their most important
function is the regulation of the tenn
perature Of the blood.
Scientific investigation shows that
for every square centimeter of the skin
area on the fingers white Americans
have 55S sweat glands. American ne
groes have 59T, Filipinos 653, Moros
6S4, adult Negritos 100. Hindus 73S and
Negrito youths and children $50.
AS ali the sweat glands are fully
formed at birth and their number re-
mains the same throughout life, the
greater number found among the Ne
critic youths is no doubt due to cor.
responding difference in size of indi-
yiduals. AS the body grows the skin
area increases and the glands become
more dispersed.
1t is evident that 100 sweat glands
xUIll nour ont nearly 81 per cent more
Precipitation than will 55S. Therefore
there will be % per cent more evapora-
ton, and so the Negrito is compare

that the white man finds almost un-
bearable-New York World.

wick, Of Georgia, to release from
the draft men who have become
81 years old since draft day, June
8. 1917. The Senator made this mo-
ton in connection with the bill to
take into registration, all men who
have become 21 years old since the
date indicated. He alone voted for
the motion.
The main bill was not passed yes
terday as Senator New. Of Indiana,

bate.
Another important bill passed
among the dozen or more measures,
was that allowing commutation for

Despite President Wilson's opposi-

concur in the Senate's proposal for

question will be squarely up to the
President. As he has already fixed
the price at $3.50 his friends pre-
dict he will veto the whole agri-

the $3.50 price Is attached as a rider" "
Representative Steenerson. of Min
nesota, who took charge OF the move
ment, after a conference with SEN
ator Gore. its author in the upper
branch Of Congress. predicted that
the higher price would have a ma
jority OF 100 in the House Many
Democrats expressed the same opin-
ion.
Since the Senate passed the amend
ment. Congressman have received
hundreds of kilograms from farmers
organizations. many Of them urging
that the price be raised to $2.75 or 50
bushel.
Steenerson confined his efforts yes
terday to preparations for q parlia-
mentary night He Is undetermined
whether to attempt to instruct the
conferees in favor OF $3.50 before
the measure is sent TO conference,
or to see IL the proposal cannot win
of its strength in the conference.
In a quiet man-to-man canvass of
Of the House. Steenerson used two
arguments. First, he said that Con-
gressmen with many farmer con-
stituents could not AFFORD to vote
for the lower price, with election
coming in the fall. He declared II
the bill were sent the President and
he vetoed It. at least Congressman
would be safe from the farmers dis
pleasure.

year Is no higher this year than
SEQ last year, the raise in prices

into consideration. Another group
of farm-State members. headed by

will base its fight to have the prices
fixed on all articles which the farmer
consumes.
It claims that everything, from
