Pioneer in Her. Profession.

The first woman physician in the
United States was DR.. Elizabeth
Blackwell, who received the degree
of NJ. D. at Geneva, N. Y, 70 years
ago. Miss Blackwell was native Of
Bristol, England, but came to the
United States in her youth. When
she was 21 she determined to become
physician, but her application for
admission was refused by nearly all
of the leading medical colleges OF
the United States and Canada. A
little medical college in Geneva, how
ever, accepted her, and she became
one Of the most brilliant students of
the institution. She suffered, how
ever, from social ostracism in the
town, as the Geneva hostesses regard
ed her either as insane or wicked.
Miss Blackwell, after finishing her
course, attended medical colleges in
Europe and praeticed in several con-
tinental hospitals. She then returned
to New York, where she opened an
infirmary for women and children and
organized woman's medical college.

Alaskan Indians End War.

War, mostly Of the smoldering va

has blazed up and drawn blood, no

southeastern Alaska. Peace has been
declared. The Indians decided to set
aside their tribal customs. Disputes,

Arctic Explorers Long Ago Held Be-

One hundred years ago Sir John

his amazenent black dots were seen
rapidly approaching over the vast ex-
panse OF Ice. What cosld they be?
Eskimos and their dog teams! The
most northern people in the world.
Eagerly they examined the big ship
and in. detah everything connected
with it.
Donald B. Macmillan, arctic explor-

tory concerning the far North. relates
that through an interpreter the Eski-

from.
"Fron the south" he tsld them.

Having helped many soldier

hospital, playing cards are now being
pressed into active war service, says
the London Chronicle. You may have
noticed the new and neat little cloth
badges on the sleeve of our men from
the front, but possibly have failed to
understand the designs. They are
nothing but the familiar club, spade,
heart and diamond of the playing card.
Under the new scheme regiments are
divided into packs, each company hav-
ing it's own symbol in certain color
to serve as an Identification mark, all
other badges being removed before go

Brick Piers Show Strength.

The National Brick Hannfac cturers'
association and the United States
government have co-operated in some
very interesting experiments to dem
onstrate the strength of brick piers.
Tests were made on forty-six piers 80
inches by 80 inches by 10 feet high,
and four supplementary piers OF the
same cross-sectional dimensions by
five feet high. Transverse, compress
sion and absorption tests were made
on each lot of bricks used. The bricks
used were representatives Of four dis
tricts east of the Mississippi river,
two or more grades of brick being
obtained from each district. Three
kinds of mortar were used in the be-
ginning and three grades Of bond and
workmanship employed throughout the
investigation. This report, under title,
'sThe Strength of Brick Piers" is now
ready for distribution, and those In
terested may obtain copy by ad'
dressing a request to the bureau OF

General Organs Constellation.

It is not often that military COM
mander perpetrates pun, observes
Outlook. A veritable pun, however,
has been imprinted on the helmets and
motortrucks of the American Twenty
seventh division. A recent number OF
the Gas Attack shows device in
which a number of stars are so ar
ranged as to correspond with the con-
stellation Orion. Now, as every one
knows, the gallant and efficient COM
mander of that division is General
ORyan. The idea is clever, and per-
haps a bit humorous. Certainly Gen
eral O'Ryan has proved himself mill

vision in it's capture of Mont KENNEL
and it's thrust through the Hindenburg
line south of Cambrai is truly entitled
to be considered some constellation.

HAS GOOD WORD FOR SNAKE
New Yorker Points Out How Unpopu-
lar Reptile Aids the Farmer in
Growing Crops.

The pretensi0ns of the snake. as a
domestic animal Of great value, were
advanced by Allen B. Williams. presi-
dent of the Reptile Society Of Amer
lea, at New Yofk.
The society, Of which MIR. Williams
is the head, middle and end, has uR-
dertakea campaign OF education On
behalf of the snake, claiaaiag that as a
destroyer Of redeats and other small
pests, on the farR he is the frieaa and
benefactsr Of mah:s Fer the pSis9a.

Of the R5hboisohouS ones he had this
to say att she banquet while you could
haxs heaH q pin drop;
T6 che lay mind, the idea OF the
black or the garter or any one OF
thousand varieties Of harmless snakes
being of any service to mankind may
appear preposterous and unworthy OF
discussion. But the facts are other
wise. The snake has very impor-
tant bearing on the question of food
production, matter which, even since
the signing of the armistice, grows
more important daily. The snake Is
the great small-pest destroyer OF the
American farm. Every person who
kills nonpoisonous snake might just
as we'll destroy one hundred times the
snakes weight in wheat"
Mr.. Williams proposes that the value
of the snake be taught hereafter In the
farm schools and agricultural colleges
and says he intends to become the edi-
tor OF a publication devoted to snake
conservation and culture. He advo-
Gated the introduction Of small snake
or two into every household In the
land, saying that the snake, contrary
to popular belief, made an ideal house
hold pet, and in the course Of every
year represented many times over
saving of his weight in moasetraps.
