BOSTON. Nov. 19.-The National
Grange went on record today as opposed
to the repeal of the excess profits tax,
but asked for a revision of the law to
bring this up to date \ resolution
adopted by the convention favored the

best wishes to President Elect Harding,

select a farmer not only in sympathy

vocation and effort that the farmers will
recognize him as one of themselves, a
man around whom agricultural interests
will rally with confidence in his leader

USED 81 ANCIENT PHYSICIAN
eraecS- Roman Medical and SURGICAL
Instruments Of Bronze Now In
Johns Hopkins University.

William 81. Buckler, who served on
the staff of the American embassy in
London during the war, has presented
to the Archeologist museum of Johns
Hopkins university, of which he was
former trustee, set Of ancient Graeco-
Roman medical and surgical instru-
ments found two years ago near Kolo-
phon, in Asia Minor.
The collection was on exhibition in
London and was formerly in the pos
session Of the late Alfred o. Van Len
nep, Dutch vice consul in Smyrna, who
owned large estate near Kolophon
and was well acquainted with the ex-
cavations and discoveries in that vi
cinity.
The instruments, SO in number, are
all Of bronze, with but one exception.
They were probably the property Of
some Roman physician living in Asia
Minor in the first or second century A.
D., and the fact that they were all
found In one place is doubtless ex-
planned. In the opinion of experts, by
the ancient custom of burying a per-
sons worldly possessions with him.
The set includes surgical knives and
elevators, forceps, tenacula (sharp
hooks), unique drill bow, for use in
injuries and diseases of the skull,
scoops, probes and cautery.
The drill bow is, from the point of
view Of the archeologist, perhaps the
most Interesting object If ic like a
tool used by carpenters.

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

Why not print all books in such
way that every page Is a right-hand
page? asks d. 1. Winslow of Boston.
who claims patent for his conception
of how to do it. He holds that if 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 a book
so 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 book correct
would require some nice calculation on
the printers part.

SHEPHERD BECAME A PRINCE
Emir Feisal Of Arabia Seemed an Al.
together Negligible Object in His
Early Life.

Emir Feisal Of Arabia began life as
a dirty little shepherd boy His moth
er was an Arabian girl of Mecca and
cousin of his father. When Feisal
was still baby Shereef Hussein sent
him into the desert to live with
Bedouin tribe, because it is considered
more wholesome for a boy to grow
up in the open desert country than in
city or village. In Constantinople
Feisal contracted consumption, writes
Lowell Thomas in Asia, but since then
the desert has taken it out of him, al
though he is still very thin and has
waist only p inches in circumference.
He smokes cigarettes day and night
and eats sparingly. Among the tribes
he is celebrated as an unusually fine
shot and good horseman and camel
rider. Feisal is enlightened and thor
oughly modern in his views. His peo-
pie follow him, not through fear, but
because they love him. He is much
too kind and liberal-minded to rule
as an oriental despot Of the old school
and he may be depended upon to usher
in an entirely new order Of things for
his people.

ENCOURAGE the Swallow.

If you want to free the neighbor-
hood Of mosquitoes encourage swallows
to make themselves at home, says the
American Forestry association Of
Washington. These birds feed almost
entirely upon obnoxious insects and
they will do much toward protecting
orchards and other trees from insect
pests. No better investment can be
made, therefore, than some houses set
out for martins and other swallows. OF
the blue swallows the purple martin is
the largest, the male being entirely
blue above and below, while the female
is blue above with gray breast. Swal-
lows are highly migratory, most Of
them spending the winter in South
America.

RUSSIAN HERO IN pA]AMAs
Soldier o. oenlkln's Army, Decorated
for Bravery, Attired in Altogether
Unconventional Uniform.

The highest decoration for valor
that could be given a soldier in Deni-
kin's army was pinned to the breast
of soldier whose uniform ran close
second to that Of Kipling's hero, Gun
ga Din, says 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 pair of pajamas, and the rest Of
his outfit was only 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 bolsheviki in that
country. They do not have a service
of supply and they do not have reg
ulation uniform.
General Bradoff, who decorated the
pajama- jaclleted hero, wore the
tunic of a 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 a group of Cossack cav
airy the decorated soldier was the
neatest-dressed man of the lot.
The hero, on his own initiative, led
a detachment of scouts in capturing a
town from the bolshevilSi. He was
wounded in carrying out this exploit,
taken to a hospital and given suit
of pajamas. When he left he took the
pajama jacket to replace his wornout
Russian tunic, and he had not been
able to replace it.

Hawaii Claims wettest Spot.

Hawaii now claims the wettest spots
on earth. From records covering q
long period, Cherrapunji, a village at
an elevation of about $500 feet in the
Khasi hills in India, has established
Il rainfall average of 426 inches year,
with 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 n yearly average of 476
inches; while estimates for nearby 10.
calities for the wet years of 1914 and
1870, when no records were kept, make
it 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 a seven-year average of
800 inches, with a maximum Of $50
inches in 1914. At least dozen other
spots, above 1000 feet of elevation, are
reported to have exceeded $50 inches
in each of the years 1914 and 1918.

charming little landscape, indicating
that there was story behind it. II

II had all my materials with me ex-
cept an empty canvas. I came upon a
subject that enchanted me, and felt
must record it. I was determined
not to be baffied, so I took out my
handkerchief, stretched it across my

Queen Pleasures Carnival.

All the Protestant churches acknowl-

congregations and are earnestly en-

majority abstain from public worship,

schemes have been propounded to
make services more attractive, but the
clergy finch from any startling inno-
vntions. Recently Rev. G. Black at
meeting of the Baptist union declared
that "Queen Pleasure holds high carni-
VAL" and continued: "The churches are
UNDECIDED by the mass of pleasure
trippers, who patter by with feet
tingling with the torch of the tango,
ears atingle with the jingle of the jazz,
and hearts atlame with riotous pas
sion.'
