WOULD MAKE EASIER READING
Boston Man Has Idea for Printing
Books That Is interesting but
... Revolutionary.

Why not print all books in such a
way that every page Is rlght-hand
page? asks ID. I. Winslow of Boston
who claims patent for his conception
of how to do it. He holds that il one
has TO read pages on one side Of book
only, this will be held more easily, the
eyes will not wander, there will be NO
necessity for changing the position OF
head and neck when passing from one
page to another. Thus reading, espe-
cially Of big, heavy volumes, will be
less fatiguing not only to the eyes,
head and neck, but also to the arms
and hands.
Mr.. Winslow's idea is to print book
50 that you read straight ahead from
-right-hand page TO right-hand page,
these being numbered consecutively
then, when you have read through to
the last right-hand page, you turn the
book upside down and continue reading
as before. what In ordinary books are
left-hand pages now being right-hand
pages. This. of course, involves print
ing all left-hand pages upside down
and numbering them consecutively
from the back OF the book. This would
easily be arranged by the printer In
laying out the forms. though to get the
paginatiOn of large hook correct
would require some nice calculation on
the printers part. 49,

FALL IN EUR0PE'S POPULATION
Estimated Lose Through Years Of War

Million People.

According to a report made by the
Society for the Study of the Social
Consequences of the War, which has
Its headquarters at Copenhagen, be-
tween the outbreak of that conflict and
the middle of 1919 Europe lost about
35,0O0.000 people. OF this deficit in
what would have been the normal pop
ulatiOn of the continent at the latter
date 20,OO0,OO0 are accounted for by
the decline in the birth rate and 49,
100000 by increased mortality includ-
ing nearly 100000 killed in battle.
The surplus of the female sex in
Europe has nearly tripled, rising from
slightly more than 100000 to 15.0Oc,-
600. Russia and Poland suffered total
losses of 100000; Germany and Aus
tria together slightly less than that
number; France Comes next with an
estimated loss of 100000; Italy fol-
lows with 2,2S0,OO0; Great Britain and
Ireland lost about 1,1S5 900. and little
Serbia, including war casualties. ap-
preaching those of the United King

Her Collection Of Bargains.


There had been war wedding and
now Mr.. Juggins was busy earning
something to foot the bills with. So
he handed all his savings over to his
wife with the remark:
Look here. Hilda. my dear, you 60
shopping and get home together.
New stuff is very dear. but you'll man
age all right II you 60 to sales and
things. You're good bargain hunt
err"
She was. But he had forgotten that
to the real huntress of bargains low
ness Of price appeals rather than util-
ity. Otherwise he wouldn't have been
so surprised at the results.
In the kitchen they have a filing
cabinet, three chairs. more or less
whole, and an old desk. The dining
room isn't bad, only the chairs don't
match. and the dining table is one
leg short. In the bedroom there are
beds, of course. and In addition a COL
lapsible boat. patent pillow. several
assorted German helmets and other
souvenirs, two stepladders, zinc bath
and only one hole In II, and folding
settee which won't unfold.

RUSSIAN HERO IN pAJAMAs
Soldier Of penIkIn's Army, Decorated
for Bravery, ALFRED In Altogether
Unconventional Uniform.

The highest decoration for valor
that could be given soldier in Deni-
kn's army was pinned to the breast
of soldier whose uniform ran a close
second to that of Kipling's hero, Gun.
ga Din, says a communication from
Ekaterinodar,. South Russia, to the
Stars and Stripes.
The medal was pinned to the SOL
dier's jacket, which was the upper part
Of q pair of pajamas, and the rest Of
his outfit was only a pair Of British
military trousers. He was barefooted
and hatless. .
The clothing worn by this man typi-
fies the conditions that exist In the
army fighting the bolshevlki in that
country. They do not have service
of supply and they do not have a reg
ulatiOn uniform.
General Bradoff, who decorated the
pajama-jacketed hero. wore the
tunlc OF q British Tommie, and the
guard of troops who furnished the
background for the decoration cere-
monies. wore parts Of uniforms from
a dozen different armies. With the
exception of group of CossaCk cav
airy. the decorated soldier was the
neatest-dressed man of the lot.
The hero, on his own initiative, led
detachment of scouts in capturing a
town from the bolshevibl. lie was
wounded in carrying out this exploit,
taken to a hospital and given suit
Of paiamas. When he left he took the
pajama jacket to replace his wornout
Russian tunic, and he had not been
able to replace il.

Hawaii Claim. Wettest Spot.

Hawaii now claims the wettest spots
on earth. From records covering a
long period, Cherrapunji, village at
an elevation of about 4.500 feet In the
Khasi hills in India, has established
a rainfall average of 426 inches year.
with a maximum of 905 inches In the
questionable record for 1861. Short
period observations show that Mount
Waialeale. the central peak of the
island Of Kauai, with height of $3.50
feet, has yearly average Of 476
inches; while estimates for nearby To-
calities for the wet years of 1914 and
1y.o, when no records were kept. make
1t appear that the rainfall then must
have exceeded 600 inches. Other parts
Of Hawaii are scarcely less damp. Pun
Kukui. 5000 feet high, on the island Of
Maui. has had seyen-year average Of
800 inches. with maximum Of 562
inches in 1914. At least a dozen other
spots, above 1000 feet Of elevation. are
reported to have exceeded $50 inches
in each Of the years 1914 and 1918.

Chinese silk In America.

The American demand for silk In
China has greatly increased In the
last few years until at the present
time about 25 per cent Of the Chinese
silk is sent to the United States. This
is the result Of American enterprise
more than that Of the Chinese. The
japanese silks had been In favor for
a long time with the manufacturers
of this country but 1t was well I'M
derstood that the quality of the Chi
nese was superior, but II was not
adapted for use In this country be-
cause OF the manner in which II was
woven. An American manufacturer
secured a moving picture reel show
ing the Japanese methods OF manu-
facture, and asN result the China
men were induced to change theirs to
a system to conform with the demands
of the occidental customers. and the
industry has accordingly taken a great
jump.

olFFUsINe LIGHT IN ASIA
Christian Missionaries Firmly Behind
Independence Move, Though Not
Directly Responsible for Il

No picture Of the independence move
ment or Of Korean life in any aspect
Is adequate that does not include the
church as one of its high lights. OBJ
serves Nathaniel PETER In Scrlbner's
Now. even the japanese have with.
drawn the charge that the movement
Is exclusively Christian and that II was
lnstigated by American missionaries
for American political purposes. But
II Is true that the Korean Christians
are unit In its support. that the ina.
jority Of Its leaders are Christian, and
that the originating impulse is largely
Christian.
And that is only natural: First. be-
cause the Christians are the most infiu.
entail class In Korea, and. second. be-
cause conversion TO the church neces-
sarily means contact with Western
ideas and Western thought. And those
necessarily means the development of
a spirit that cannot and will not en-.
dure subsection to the iron military
rule of an alien conqueror.
In that sense Christianity is RESPONSE
BILE for the unrest In Korea and in tina,
sense the Christian church is the
enemy the japanese have to fight. And
that will be increasingly true as time
goes on, for Christianity is making
rapid strides in Korea. the more rapid
for the part the Christians have played
In the rebellion.
