Six men from the wrecked schooner

WHY A CUT FINGER HURTS
Exposure to Air Said to Cause Ok.
dation Of the Flesh

1t hurts when you cut your finger
or. rather. where you cut it-berausr
the place you have cut is exposed to the
Oxygen in the air, and as soon as it is
so exposed a chemical action begins TO
take place. just as when you cut an
apple and lay il aside you come back
aud find the cut surface all turned
brown. II the apple could feel it would
hurt also. because the chemical action
is much the same. The apple has n
skin which protects its inside from the
oxygen in the air, and you have also n
skin which protects you from the
oxygen as long as il is unbroken.
What happens. of course. is this :
When you cut your finger You sever the
tiny little veins and nerves which are
in your finger. They are spread all
over your body like a network under
the skin, close to the surface in most
places. The nerves when cut send a
quick message to the brain, with which
they are connected, telling that they are
damaged and the brain calls on the
heart and other functions to get busy
and repair the damage alone the line.
There may be some hurt while this
process Of repairing is going on, but the
principal part OF your hurt. OUTSIDE of
what we call your feelings, y due TO The

WORKING AT FULL SPEED
Federal Board for Vocational Educa.
tIon Considering 1000 Cases a Day

Washington, Sept. 15.-Disabled SOL
diers and their families have been con-
cerned about the time consumed in ar
ranging for training with the federal
board for vocational education.
A knowledge of the procedure neces-
sary for the board to legally place the
man in training will do much to clear
up this misunderstanding. The central
case board is working at great pressure,
as are the district boards. Almost 1000
cases are being reviewed by the central
case board every day. These cases have
been previously passed on by the district
officers, but certain evidence must be
in the possession Of this central board
before the mans case may be approved.
The official army discharge and the
military or naval medical report are
very essential These documents are
the proof that the disability was in
CURED while in the service, or that it is
in some way traceable to such service.
Having established these facts, the
board must determine that the man 8

The process reads smoothly. But note

Price Of Labor

An Indiana suffragist, who is a
widely known speaker, went to her door
the other morning to buy some black
berries of young country woman. The
berries were fine, but the suffragist
wished them at lower price than they
were offered. "Why, they just grow
along the roadside so plentifully that
all you have to do is to pick them" she
told the woman. Don't you think you
are charging a rather exorbitant price
for your labor?'

all the members Of the little boats
company are miners financially inter-
ested in the venture.
McGirk did not remain with the boat
long, for when he went ashore to hunt
in Siberia q storm came up and forced
the Casco to take to sea. Later Nc
Girk made his way back to San Fran
cisco.
Unusually heavy ice hindered the
Casco's passage northward, yet she pen
etrated as far as North Cape, on the ST.
berian Arctic coast, before she was
forced to stop. At North Cape, which
was reached August "a, the crew landed
supplies for second attempt next year,
and then turned the boats PROV for

Finally East Cape and the Bering
straits were reached. Encountering a
storm, the Casco decided to run for
King Island and Nome. She rounded
the north end of the island safely, but
was caught in the wind and driven
ashore.
