chinaman and His Queue.

On April 16. at what was once the
village of FanpOux, met a Chinese
who was trying to grow a queue. It
was only about a foot long and did
not improve his appearance any. That
day while out in the fields Salvaging
ammunition, his nose told him he was
in the vicinity of some unsuccessfully
buried foreigners. He was hardened
by this time to all sorts of disagree
able thingSc~but the incident went to
the back. of his head and only served
to strengthen his belief that he should
grow a queue. Foreigners wear their
hair cut short. He had been in France
going on two years and had long since
concluded that he did not want to imi-
tate them. Hence the queue.-WOrld's

LAW AS TO COLOR BLINDNESS
Does Not Mean Loss of Sight, Accord
ing to Ruling Made by Georgia
Superior Court.

Color blindness does not mean total
loss of sight in the meaning of the law,
1t was held recently by Judge John T.
Pendleton in the motion division of
Superior court at Atlanta, Ga.
Judge PendletOn's decision cleared
legal point raised only once before
in the United States, so far as is shown
by court records. This was in Ne
braska, where both the lower court
and the State Supreme court held that
color blindness means total blindness.
The question was raised in a suit
brought by George L. Fallin, who was
a locomotive engineer for the Atlanta
Joint Terminals. against the LocOmO-
tive Engineer Mutual Insurance and
Accident association, a branch of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineerS.
Engineer Fallin, it was set out, be-
came color blind while engaged in his
line of duty and was discharged from
his position. He then applied to the
engineers association for his insur-
ance-$1, ,500-fOr the loss of his eye
sight, as stipulated in the policy. The
association, however, declined to pay
the amount on the ground that color
blindness did not come within the
terms of the policy concerning blind
ness. Fallin then brought suit in the
courts through his counsel. City Attor-
ney James L. Mayson.

Dantzis Rich in Memories.

The old fortress of Dantzig is rich

the man of destiny failed to heed the
intimations of a grand council of his

it was here that he upbraided them for
having grown soft in prosperity. and
for opposing the invasion Of Russia +;

months ago. With ample capital be-

with modern machinery, and drove a
long working tunnel to tap the ore
bodies below their former lowest lev

TYPO SHELTER OPERATIONS
BEGIN AT NEAR CAPACITY

Tonopah. New, July 6.-The fur
mace of the Tybo smelter Of the Lou
isiana Consolidated Mines Company
has been blown and everything is re-
ported as going along as smooth as
clockwork. There is plenty of ore
available to keep the smelter in
steady operation, large reserve hav-
ing accumulated during the past de-
velopment. Added to this will be
the big tonnage of concentrates that
will be made available through the
operation of the 125-ton mill. A
good product is being consigned to
the reduction plant, which will. no
doubt, result in a fine earning for the
treasury of the company.
A full mining and smelling and
mill crew has been secured for this
enterprising- company, and all inter
ested in the future of the district
tributary to Tybo will watch develop
ments that are now going forward.
1t is more than likely that other own
ers of property in that vicinity will
find it possible to have their ore treat
ed at the Tybo smelter, which will
naturally bring about a reduction in
transportation and treatment charges,
