RESEMBLES THE HUMAN HAND
Skin OF Bats Wing Stretches From

The wing Of bat is most wonder

end, for 1t Is nothing but a greatly
modified forelimb or hand.
If you spread out your hand and i'm

~ long, while the thumb remains short

the fingers has also been stretched I'M
I'll 1t extends from tip to tip of the
fingers and on. along TIE side of the
body to join the hind foot. you will
have good idea of the structure of
bats wings it is simply much exag-
(gerated hand
The elongated bones serve, like the
ribs of an umbrella. to keep the skin
stretched aad taut when the owner
Is in flight
When the bat alights 1t doubles up
its hands, the skin falls In wrinkly
folds and using its thumb joints as
forefeet 1t is able to run about almost
as quickly as a mouse.
The skin of the wings not only joins
the hind limbs but extends from them
to the tail, thus making the rudder
with which the bat can steer when fly
ing, and, when the tail is brought up
beneath the body, forms a bag or re-
ceptable which is OF use to It's owner.

REGRET GEN. BIRDS DEATH.
Appropriate Action By Executive Commit
tee OF Red Cross for Late President.

The executive ,omniittee of the Dela-
ware Red Cross, at its monthly meeting,
held at the Teaching Center, 9l3 Della
ware avenue, adopted the following
minute on the death of Gen. Charles Bird:
1t is the desire of the Delaware Red
Cross to record permanently its apprecia-
ton of the noble character and high
services of its beloved president, General
Charles Bird When the National Red
Cross was reorganized In 1900, General
Bird was chosen as one OF the central
committee, and held that distinguished
Office in the national organization until
after the breaking out of the great war.
With characteristic self-forgetfulness, he
then resigned so that Henry =. Dawson
might have his place on the committee.
In 1904. when the Red Cross organization
in Delaware first began, General Bird was
chosen as its head. BY his energy, his
ability and his faithful service from that
time on, he encouraged every member to
persevere At the time of the San Fran
cisco earthquake, the Dayton flood and
other disasters, his judgment and ex-
perience made him the best of leaders. lie
was never too busy or too tired to respond
to n call on his time, and even when out
of health, did not spare himself In the
work. His loving spirit and his deep en-
thusiasm joined with sound sense and
thoroughness to make him beloved by all
who had the privilege of working under
him. He remained president and chairman
by the unanimous choice of the chapter
from the time of his first election until his
death During the great war General
Bird visited headquarters practically
every day, and took the keenest interest
in every detail of the work He was ever
ready to prefer Others to himself, and to
encourage the youngest and most mex
perienced workers In the tenderness and
strength of his personality, he embodied
the ideas of the Red Cross in remarkable
degree. Therefore,
Resolved, That the Delaware Red
Cross hereby records its recognition of the
irreparable loss sustained by 1t In the
death OF its president, and, further,
Resolved, That these resolutions he
spread upon the minutes of the executive
committee, and that copy be sent to the
family of General Bird.

timo limit for the Office of president Of
their conference, which was adopted
three years ago, will be reacinded Mt this
session and that Rev. DIR. Warner, the
incumbent, will be reelected. In view Of
the fact that the thrce-year rule was back
ed and practically put through by the
younger ministers of the conference, the
attempt to throttle it at the expiration of
the first three years is certain to meet
strenuous opposition. Rev DIR. James III.
StraugAn, conference secretary, predicts
that the present session will be one Of the
liveliest held in years.

KEEP GARBAGE FREE.
Rubbish Should Not be Included, Board
of Health Says.

The Board of Health, through it secre-
tary, James A. Cahill, calls the attention
of householders to the necessity of gre ter
care in the separation of rubbish, such as
tin cans, bottles and the like, from the
garbage receptacles put out for the con-
tractors carts
Only kitchen refuse should be put into
these receptacles, the other materials
being separated for the wagons Of tho
Street and Sewer Department. Their
occurrence in the garbage imposes a large
amount of delay in disposal and ,mneees-
sary work on those who handle ii and thus
rs indirectly menace to health conditions
as the collectors may be justified in refus,
ing to remove the mixed material.
Ashes should be kept hy themselves,
while garbage and rubbish should also
be separated.

The shape of tooth is the result of
ages of evolution. 1t would be impos
sible for us to improve upon the plan
of a normal tooth. when decay, or
carries, has destroyed a part of the
be restored if the tooth IL to do its
work and remain desirable ncighbor
to the other teeth in the mouth and to
the gums. After the cavity is shaped
shaped right. the dentist thoroughly
dries and sterilizes it and places the
filling material so that every part of
the cavity is exactly filled Then he
builds the filing TO initiate the original
shape of the tooth. Every little line and
every ridge and cone is duplicated. The
margins of the filling are so carefully
and closely approximated that the
cavity is Theoretically sealed. The most
difficult place to shape and finish n
filling is at the gum margin between
the teeth. If filling should be left
rough or should become roughened
from hard use. it becomes a source of
danger to the heauth of the mouth be-
cause it retains food. causes irritation
to the tongue or cheek or lip and many
times holds food tightly packed against
the gum If there is too much space
between the teeth. or if there is pro-
jecting filling or roughened area,
pyorrhea will usually be started by
infection that follows constant bruising
of the gum.
If filling is too high, the tooth will
have more than its share of pressure
and either the filing will give way or
the tooth will he ioosened In its socket
and the pulp will be destroyed. This
means soreness at first and eventually
an abscess. The correct filling of Il
tooth is one of the, most skillful opera
tons that man has ever learned to
perform. Like many other good things,
the better they are, the less we hear
about them 1t is the bad ones that
