Infant prodlgles are being discov,

connect this with the psychology Of
war. One Of the youthful marvels is
Pamela Bianco. thirteen.year-old girl
artist, whose drawings were given the
place Of honor in IN exhibition at one
Of the principal London galleries.
Critics dealt with them quite seri-
ously and said that the work was sug-
gestIve Of Botticelli and some of the
other old masters. Pamela is an
italian girl who was born in England
and never had taken any drawing les
sons.

nothing Of music, has enjoyed six

Gently he outranked 43 competitors,
most Of them in the twenties, and
scored 119 points In a possible 12O.
Professor Danton describes him as
miracle.
Little Robbie Day, aged seven, of
Brighton, son Of n motor mechanic,
has wonderful powers Of clairvoyance,
according to the Weekly Dispatch.
Blindfolded. he described number of
articles. These included treasury

TOWNS NOT FATED TG LIVE
Communities East and West, Founded
In High Hopes. Arc Now Praoti-
caIiy Things Forgotten.

Western papers tell their readers
that the town Of Emerson, Okla, is
shortly to be thing forgotten, re-
marks the Hartford Courant. It was
mapped out as a town site shortly
after the territory was opened for set
tlenRent. and the promoters had
dreams Of metropolis. In 1907 the
plan was abandoned, and now the dis
trict court has been asked to vacate
the land for town site purposes, when
what might have been town will be.
come farm land.
The story Of Emerson suggests what
came near happening to a Connecticut
town in the beginnings OF the colony.
Those interested IN it showed rare
sense In their choice of site, and lii
their dreams planned not for n town
but for city. Hampden and Crom-
well were to be among it's citizens; the
cream Of England, so It's promoters
hoped, were to become Its citizens
Fate ordered otherwise, and the early
days Of this dream town are remem-
bered now largely through Lion Gardi-
ner's account Of his struggle to hold
the site against the attacks Of the In.
dians.
Other states. notably the mining
commonwealths Of the West can du-
plicate the story from Oklahoma, but
few can equal the romance Of the Con.
necticut settlement.

FIND MAN u sEs FOR PEAT
rWartcrn industry Olives Promise o.
Great Development In the
Years 20 Como.

The output Of peat in the United
States last year far exceeded that Of
any preceding year aud the general
Increase, which was stimulated by the
war, was shared by practically oil
branches Of the industry. Though ex-
tenslvely used as fuel in Europe and
widely known in the United States as
a potential source Of heat and power,
peat has been unable to compete with
coal and many peat operators have di.
rected their attention to the utilization
Of peat in agriculture with gratifying.
results.
Peat fertilizer was first marketed In
commercial quantities in 1908 and
stock-food peat in 1912, and though
there Is still some prejudice against it's
use the agricultural branch Of the in
dustry has been successful and the
quantity Of fertilizer and stock-food
peat annually produced Is increasing.
Large quantities Of these products
were made las. year, but the most
striking development was the produc-
tion Of more peat in the New England
States than has been manufactured In
the entire United States in all preced.
Ing years. Almost equally striking
was the widespread interest manifest
ed in peat resources which had been
generally regarded as Of doubtful
value.
Large quantities of peat or sphag-
mum moss were produced and utilized
for stable litter, packing material, and
surgical dressing, and several hun
dred thousand acres Of peat soils were
used for the growth Of crops. The
peat litter was produced by the own
ers OF small hogs for their own use,
but the packing material was sold
to florists for $25 a ton. According
to ]. w. Hotsor Of the Red Cross
more than half million peat pads
were prepared in this country for that
organization. Most Of the moss was
gathered by volunteers from bogs in
Washington, Oregon and Maine, and
the pads were used in military hos
pitals at home and abroad.
