uss for surplu. Munitions.

An interesting suggestion has been
made by prominent Swiss meteorol-
ogist and physicist, M. de Quervain Of
Zurich, to the effect that the vast
stores Of munitions collected In the bel
ligerent countries during the last four
years be utilized to advance the cause
of science instead Of being merely fir.
ed Off to make Roman holiday. or
else sunk in deep waters to avoid the
latent dangers which reside In them.
BY detoning these explosives in defin-
ite quantities, at definite places, and
at definite times whose dates are an
nounced In advance, possibility
would be presented for the solution of
many Interesting problems in physics
and meteorology. The project might
advantageously be carried out In this
country.

High heels prevail in spite Of the
promise Of something wiser in build
coming into popular favor. Yet, to
quote a well-known doctor: mo wo-
man pretends that she is comfortable
when wearing high heels nor can she
hope to be graceful when wearing
them, for the body Is thrown out Of
poise and the action Of the feet Is re-
stricted. More serious than her awk-
wardness is the eventual injury to her
health. For In the effort to preserve
her equilibrium the shoulders are
thrown forward, depressing the chest |;
breathing is interfered with. and that
means poorer blood and final de-
crease in vitality. This comes grad
ually, but 1t is Inevitable when wo-
man persists in wearing very high
heels. Her heels should conform to
the arch If her instep. Exchange.

NEEDS MORE CHURCHES
How the Practice of-Foot Binding in
China lnterferes With Work
of Missionaries.

One foot, linear measurement, may
be II inches, but one foot, pedal, may
be no more than four or five inches
when that foot belongs to a Chinese
woman.
For centuries Chinese women have
bound their feet. 1t was only few
short years ago that, through the in
ifluence OF Christian missionaries In
the celestial republic, law was passed
prohibiting the practice of foot bind
ing. @
Future generations of China's wom-
en- will be free from the curse, but the
present generation still suffers from IT..
The binding began in infancy and con-
t'nued through the years to maturity.
The result was perhaps gratifying to
the Oriental, but II had its vexations
for the missionary and still has.
1t may seem strange that mission
aries have any great concern over the
feet Of Chinese women, but they have
indeed, for unless church can be
placed conveniently in any Chinese
city It is impossible to get the women
Of that country to go to church. Their
feet won't let them, for walk four or
five miles to church on feet only four
or five inches long Is harder under
taking than 1t may seem at glance.
The church is trying to find a way
to meet the problem of tiny feet. Man.
ifestly the church cannot enlarge the
feet of the feminine Chinese converts
but 1t can build more churches. so that
little feet will not have so far to walk,
and through its nationwide campaign
1t is seeking to show the need of more
churches In China just as 1t proposes
to enlarge its work at home.

Why Credit is Necessary.

factions not only speak louder than
words-they take the place of words.
A mans actions not only reveal his
character--they are his character"
writes William McClintock, giving adj
vice to retailers III Everybody's. He
says: "Well.. IL you are really a new
fashioned retailer, II (the credit people
say and are really bright young
fellow with an eye to long life and
a happy one, you will not wait to be
asked but you will go and tell all
your secret to good and sympathetic
credit house. You will tell them just
where you stand and ask them what
to do. They will probably tell you to
send them monthly statement Of
your sales and expenses, the names
of the houses you have dealt with for
the last six months, the houses to
whom you owe money, your past due
accounts. IL any, the names Of your
bank or banks. They put the facts on
file. They wire you to 60 ahead and
place your new orders. Then when
their customers inquire about this new
fellow (meaning you) from Whitney,
Okla. they tell them to 60 ahead and
ship the order, and It's all plain sailing
for you"

Cryptic Gable,

For smartness the following will be
hard to beat: A well-known person
age In Devonshire. England, received
a cable from his soldier son In Meso-
potamia containing only three words: :
1.-TWO John twelve" After much puz-
zling the meaning dawned upon him.
Taking down his Bible he turned up
the Second Epistle of st. John and
read the twelfth verse. which runs as
follows: Having many things to
write unto you, would not write with
paper and ink, but 1 trust to come
unto you and speak face to face. that
our Joy may be full" His son was on
his way home to England.

Why Stature Varies.

On higher ground the people are us
ually shorter, so the Swiss and central
Europeans generally are stocky rather
than tall. Sometimes stature varies
with the class Of men. Early emigrants
to America before things were made
ensy by the steamship companies were
always taller than the races from
which they had sprung. They were
picked men, full of physical vigor and
courage. Stature varies also accord
ing to profession. About half the pro-
fessional and ecclesiastical classes are
tall men, but only about one In ten Of
the cobbIers, weavers and tailors reach
the height Of 8 feet Z Inches.

Coal-dust floating in the air In
clouds is just as likely to cause explo-
sions In coal-mines as fire-damp, and
there are three ways of overcoming
the danger The commonest method
Is to use water to lay the dust. Then
there Is the plan of rendering the dust
n0n-inflammable by mixing with 1t
ordinary rock-dust. This is done by
applying coating of the rock-dust to
various parts of the mine, and the
plan is very effective. Another way is
to set up trough filed with rock
dust lin various parts of the mine.
When an explosion occurs the dust is
automatically thrown froIa the treughs
to the floor of the mine, and the cloud
of incombustibie dust filling the air
at this point stops the passage OF the
burning coal-dust.

troll RIVERS OVERFLOW.
The possibility Of restoring a
beautiful lake region In the east
ern central part Of South Da-
kota is brought out In connec-
ton with the efforts of the state
game department and property
owners, to control floods In the
valley Of the Blk Sioux river,
which crosses the eastern end
Of the state. For several years
there has been more or less
crop loss In the valley from
floods.
There are several swampy
lakes In the region, which were
much larger at the time of the
early surveys of the country,
when the prairie shed water like
a matched roof, and all the sur
plus water ran into these lakes,
instead Of soaking into the soil,
as it does since cultivation.
Just west of the valley of the
Blk Sioux there are at least five
good-slzed lakes, and q number
of smaller ones, all on fairly
level plain, with general drain
age to the south. The state
game department has made a
start by its present work on a
ditch to carry flood waters of
the Big Sioux into Lake Poin-
sett, the most northernly of this
chain of lakes, and the one
nearest the river, which has at
times taken a part of the flood
waters of the stream, but which
will take more through the
work of the state game depart
ment in It's efforts to increase
the hunting and fishing opportu-
mites of the state. Less than
q mile south Of Lake POinsett
Is Lake Albert and little far
ther south of them Lakes Badg-
err, Thisted, Preston, White
wood and Thompson, all good
sized reservoirs, in close
group. These lakes would hold
a large part of the flood waters

ence Monitor.
