Greatest Efficiency Temperature.

Human beings work at the highest
point of efficiency in an average tenn
perature of so to So degrees Fahren-
.heit, according to Ellsworth Hunting
ton, who publishes in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences
mass of statistics from which he
makes this deduction.
The death rate is lowest in the
spring and autumn, both in Europe
and America, when the temperature
averages 81 or Go.
In many factories all the way from
Connecticut to Florida it was found
that the maximum Of work was pro-
duced when the temperature in the
open air ranged around g. or So.
The muscular force exerted by
school children and working men,
measured with the dynamOmeter ev-
cry day in all seasons of the year, was
greatest when the thermometer was
between 60 and Go Fahrenheit.

TURNED VESSEL INTO SHOP
Ingenious Idea Appreciated by the
Sailors of the British Grand Fleet
Stationed at Scapa Flow.

One of the secrets of the war was
revealed recently when a party went
down to the Victoria docks, London, to
inspect the Wilson liner BorodinO. This
ship was chartered in the early days
of the war by the Junior Army and
Navy Stores for the purpose of sup
plying the sailors of the grand fleet
with comforts and luxuries that they
would otherwise have had to do with
out. One of the sea lords at the be-
ginning of the war, when the grand
fleet was keeping its vigil in Scapa
flow, recognized that the officers and
men needed something to relieve the
dulInesS of existence while waiting
for the German fleet TO come out.
The suggestion was adopted, and the
Borodino turned into a most effective
shop. Almost anything could be
bought on board. while there was a
fine laundry with a weekly collection
and delivery, and a BARRIERS shop. Five
thousand dollars Il week was taken by
the sale of goods, including penny bars
of chocolate, greatly favored by young
midShipmen. The latest in fancy
soaps. shaving creams, new books. the
finest chocolates, and an abundance of
fresh meat, fish and vegetables helped
to make life more bearable in the cold
and dismal surroundings of Scapa.

An EnIiohtened Ace.

One day recently a young couple
entered the county clerks office in
Winchester and got marriage license,
each giving their age as twenty-five
years. The couple, being acquainted
witr the county recorder, called on
him at his office and during their
conversation informed him that they
had just been married. The recorder,
seeing the envelope in the young mans
pocket, which he recognized as COM
ing from the clerks Office, asked:
"Who married you?" ''Why, the man
in the Office at the other end of the
hail." replied the young man, land here
is our certificate" producing the mar
riage license. The recorder informed
the couple that they were not mar
ried. and at their request called a
justice of tie peace, who performed
the ceremony for them.-New York

"Eccentricities of Diet and Their Eff

of lecture delivered at the Institute
of Hygiene by DR.. Saltau Fenwick.
The physician mentioned people who
can never eat enough; who have an in

New Golf Clubs.

Of special interest to golf players is
a club made with a steel instead Of a
hickory shaft, shown in Popular Ne
chanics magazine, which, it is claimed,
possesses all the f1exibility Of the
wooden shaft and has additional desir-
able features. The steel shaft is hOl-
low, tapers toward the lower end, and
is much smaller in diameter than one
of hickory. This is said to give the
player additional driving power, be
cause of reduced friction when the
club is swung through the air.

Bird in Need Found Friend.

A North side resident saw a robin
f1uttering around in his back yard
with what he thought was a broken
wing. Realizing that the cats would
soon make short work, he caught the
robin, intending to get it out of harms
way. On investigation he found that
instead of a broken wing it had be
come entangled in a piece of string a
yard or two long.
How it had done this was a mystery,
unless it had been getting the string
for a nest. 1t was wrapped around the
birds neck three or four times. around
one wing several times. and its feet
were tied as securely as though the
hand of man had done it. a few min
utes' work with the scissors soon freed
the bird, and it took wing, singing as
it went--Indianapolis News.

INDIAN CITIES VERY ENGLISH
In Architecture and Many Other Ways
They Are Copies of Those
in the Old Land.

The great presidency towns. Calcutta,
Bombay. Madras, are European cities
planted on Indian soil. All the prom
inent buildings are European, though
in some of the more recent ones an
endeavOr has been made to adopt
what is known as the "IndQ- Saracenic"
style of architecture. For the rest the
streets are called by English names,
generally the names of bygOne vice
rOys and governors, or of the soldiers
who conquered the land and quelled
the mutiny-heroes whose effigieS meet
you at every turn. The shops are
English shops, where English or Eu-
rasian assistants traffic in English
goods. English carriages and motors
bowl along the macadamized or tarred
roads of old England. On every hand
there is evidence of the instructive eff
fort to reproduce. as nearly as the eli
mate will permit, English conditions
Of life. In Bombay, indeed, the mer-
chant princes are no longer Euro
peans but Hindus and PaTSis. Theirs
are the most sumptuOus palaces on
Malabar hill; theirs the most swagger
motors on the Queens road and the
Apollo Bunder. In Calcutta, though
commercial competition is less keen,
the great Bengal land owner is a
prominent and important parsonage.
But few, indeed, are the points of con-
tact between the Asian town and the
European city which has been super
imposed upon it.-'India and the Flu

Extinct Species.

Two grizzly bear skulls from the
foothills of San Jose california;
county have been classified at the
Smithsonian institution at Washington,
showing that in days gone by now
extinct species of grizzly roamed the
hills of Alum Rock and Mount Hamfl-
ton ranges, according TO announcement
there.
Dr. G. Hart Merriman of the insti-
tuition came here for the skulls of the
bears, which were killed more than
fifty years ago by Clark Hubbard, q
pioneer. According to Doctor Merri-
uan the skulls are from a species
clearly distinct from the 80 other spe-
cies and subSpecies classified by the
institution. Doctor Merriman has
searched the mountains of the entire

Find Shells in English Gardens.

Talking of raids, the task of the sub
urban gardener is likely to provide
little supplementary excitement during
the next few seasons. While digging
in his garden the other day n resi-
dent Of Manor Park unearthed a load
ed shell. During 1917 and the first
few months of last year an enormous
quantity of ammunition was fired by
the barrage guns in the London dis
trict. An uncertain proportion of this
consisted of "duds" which. when they
did no material damage, were buried
a few feet in the earth. 1t is a crop
which will need careful harvesting

THE VALuE OF LAND

d
leads some conservative people 10
fear that it has reached an artificial
level. They claim that those who
buy farms and mortage their prop
erty, on the. present scale OF prices.
may buy into a falling market in a
dangerous way.
For instance, they say that farms
that few years ago would have sold
for $4,000, very commonly bring
$4,000 or even more now.
A young man with $4,000 might
buy such a farm for SIS, 900, giving
mortgage and notes for $4,000. If
land prices should fall so that the
property was worth but $4,000 the
owners equity is wiped out, and If
he had to sell he would lose all his
cash.
1t may seem unwise to suggest this
side of it to intending purchasers OF
land. Yet anyone vino contemplates
acquiring a farm must have dwelt
much upon this phase Of the subject
and it should be considered in all its
aspects. Everyone is glad to see
farms becoming more valuable, but
there is such thing as pushing them
up to an abnormal figure that tends
to discourage purchase. And when
ownership is discouraged, the result
is tc place land in the hands of ten
ants, who frequently allow the sail
to be exhausted and property to run
down. So an owner who gets fair
offer for farm property may make
serious mistake if he holds it at the
top of the market. !.
War conditions pushed all kinds OF
prices up to a figure that does not
seem likely to be permanent. When
the people of Europe get to produc-
inc again, prices must drop little
all around. This would tend to let
land prices off somewhat.
High prices of land will stimulate
small farm ownership and intensive
farming. In the long run the price
of land will not fall far, and the man
who looks ahead twenty years can be
confident that property will be worth
more then rather than less.
THE HEALTH OF COUNTRY LIFE
People who contemplate removing
from country towns and farms to go
to large cities, may well consider the
sacrifice of health conditions that
they make in SO doing. A person Tor
time may enjoy the rush and noise
of the city, but lodging automobiles
rushing for cars and trains, and the
incessant noise and clstter constitute
a serious nerve strain.
Health authorities have noticed
startling increase during recent
years, in the degenerative diseases,
particularly INFECTIONS of the heart
and kidneys. The hurry Of city life
is very favorable to the increase OF
such troubles.
Although health regulations are Of
ten enforced strictly in the cities. yet
the death Of children is larger. Cen
sus statistics give a death rate in
cities of 1910 for the children under
one year of age, and in the country
districts Of only 11,740.
Danger from contagious diseases
is much greater in cities. The people
are too close to each other. An In
lection like the influenza of last win
ter spreads with frightful rapidity:
In the larger centers, measles ana
scarlet fever are two and three times

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

A person has community spirit
when he realizes how his own success
and welfare and enjoyment depend
upon the prosperity and well being of
his whole community, and ne must be
willing to take hold with his neigh
bors in Joint efforts for the benefit of
the whole community.
People used to devote nearly their
entire attention to working for their
own success. By a contant hustle,
they nigh be able to get ahead of
less energetic neighbors, and get a
little more than their share of the
general prosperity.
But when man rises to the point
of community spirit, he sees that il
he merely tries to cutstrlp his COM
petitors, he is never going to get
very far. They are going to be stir
red up to outstrip him, and business
will be "dog eat dog" kind of life.
When group of men get. commun-
ity spirit, and being to work not
merely to get business away from
each other, but to get more business
for the whole group and the whole
town, then the good returns begin to
flow in. They gain benefits they could
never have attained by working indi-
vidually, amply compensating them
for all time put into community en-
terprises.
Community spirit frequently begins
by a general agreement to work CO..
operatively for business enterprises,
but if it is the real thing it never
ends there. 1t works for all good
town causes and is never satisfied
until the town is equipped with all
the facilities which a place of the
size can expect. If we can promote
that spirit here in Belding, we shall
accomplish results that once would
have seemed visionary.
