One evening in the bay Of Biscay

the other vessels of the squadron.
'Look, there are three trawlers over
there now," said one Of my compan'
ions pointing to starboard.

through the chart house window. "All
ships are in station and there are only
two there. You can't see straight"
'But there are three!" persisted the
first speaker, and we others corroborat-
ed him, the signalman adding, Il can't
make her out, sir; she doesn't seem to

"double-ende and the tubby old

companions during many days.
While we were speculating as to the
strangers identity our "snottie" gasped
out an astonished "Why, she's gone"
And gone she had! We looked
carefully to see whether she had be-
come hidden behind one Of her COM
panions. But no; the stranger disap
peared as eerily as she came, and we
could not understand how. Most Of
us attached little importance to the

forts at control in different parts or
the globe extending over period OF
more than Is years IL is still impos-
sible TO point to any single area from
which the disease has been complete
~ eradtcated suggests that perhaps
the work is being carried out with a
lack of scientific information on GER
tain points concerning which definite
knowledge is indispensable IL complete
control is to be achieved. 1t is hoped
that series of studies may soon be
made which win supply definite ex-
detrimental proof on the phases OF
hookworm control which still require
further investigation.
Zone of the most important factors
In need of further study is that relat-
Ing to the yisbility OF hookworm larvae
In soil and other media. In the past 1t
has been commonly supposed that eft
er period of from six to ten months
the soil would become sterile and the
disease would gradually die out, but
the evidence now at hand seems to In
dictate that soil once heavily infected
particularly In tropical countries
where the temperature seldom or never
drops to the freezing point-must re-
main infected for a considerable time
even after sanitary conditions have
been Improved. Thus, Kofoid has re-
Gently reported that in the soil of Cali
fornia the larvae remained alive for II
months. and it is probable that in
more tropical climates they persist for
even longer periods"
Part of the report is devoted to de
scriblng infection and sanitary sur
veys undertaken in various countries
and recounting the difficulties of pre-
venting the most serious source of in
fection-soil pollution. The providing
of adequate latrines is set forth as the
best method of bringing about this re
suit.
Some data from Arkansas and
Texas brought together by means of
the laboratory car Metchnikoff, during
the treatment of infected soldiers ip
the southern states, suggests that there
is possibility OF the infection being
transmitted by dust. This subject is
worthy of further study. The role
played by insects, particularly flies, Ia
transmitting the infection also re-
mains to be thoroughly investigated"

HOT COFFEE FOR MINERS
Home Demonstration Agent In Arizona
Solves Problem.

"Can you suggest some feasible
way OF supplying the men who are
working In our mines with hot coffee

hours7" the head OF the welfare de-
partment Of large mining company.
located In Cochise county, Arizona,
asked the home demonstration agent
of that county.
He desired an arrangement where
by the men could be supplied at the
shafts of the mines with hot drink to
supplement their cold lunches. The
home demonstration agent visited
eight shafts with the foreman Of the
mines to observe conditions. Before
making suggestions she also made an
investigation of the character Of
lunch witch was carried by the min
ers. She found that many take none
at all. OF the 1920 men who carried
their lunches, only 81 had bottles
which keep liquids hot. The rest ate
an entirely cold meal at noon. This
seemed to be one OF the reasons for
the lessened efficiency of the men in
the afternoons. AS result of the In
vestigation huge containers OF coffee
have been placed recently in strategic
points at the shaft mouths so that the
men have a hot drink with their noon
day meal.

OWEN APPROVES
|. AMENDMENT TO
CONSTITUTION
JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT en-
DoRsEs CHANGE IN ARTI-
Gle VII RELATING TO
CIRCUIT COURTS.
PEOPLE TO VOTE ON APRIL s
Two Successive Legislatures Approve
Of Plan by Practically Unanimous
Votes. - Will Speed Up JUS
tice and Cut Expenses

Madison, Wis-Justice W. C.. Owen
of the Wisconsin Supreme Court has
issued a statement approving the
amer dment to Article VII of the State
constitution relating to circuit courts
which is to be voted upon by the peo-
pIe of the state at the spring election,
April 9th.
'As one who takes pride in the 1u-
dicial system of Wisconsin, and be-
lieves that it should at all times be
adequate for the prompt edministra-
ton of Justice" said Judge Owen, 81
sincerely hope that the proposed
amendment will meet with the ap-
prevail of the people" Both houses of
the legislature of 1917 and of the legis-
lature of 1919 by practically unani-
nous vote agreed that the constitution
should be amended. This is all that
the legislature can do. The amend
ment must now be approved by the
voters at the spring election to be-
come effective.
Zone of the most important func-
tions of government is to provide am
continued Judge Owen, who was attor-
ney general of Wisconsin before he
was elected justice of the Supreme
Court, and is thoroughly familiar with
the courts of Wisconsin.
Since the constitution was adopted
in 1S4S the population of the state has
increased from 100000 to over 3,000,-
600 people. Large cities have grown
up. The population of Milwaukee
county alone is greater than that of
the whole state when the constitution
was adopted. The growth of the state
has made necessary many changes in
the constitution. with increasing
population the work of the courts is
constantly growing" said Judge
Owen. But so far as the state at large
is concerned no change has been made
in the provisions of the constitution
relating to circuit courts since the
days when there were but five circuit
judges in the state, who were judges
of the supreme court as well as of the
circuit courts of Wisconsin
The last two sessions of the legisla-
ture have determined that the public
welfare demaids that the constitution,
framed in 184S, so far as it relates to
circuit courts, should be changed to
meet the new conditions that have
come about in the last seventy years
Under the constitution as it now
stands legislature has no power to
do anything to care for this constantly
increasing number of circuit court
cases, except to create new circuits.
Each time new circuit is created
the taxpayers of the state must CON
tlnue to pay the expenses OF sucn new
circuit for all time, because the con-
stitution as it now stands gives the
legislature no power to decrease the
number of circuits; it only gives the
power to increase the number. If the
people approve this amendment. the
legislature viii have the power to
adopt such means as viii meet the
needs of the state in the way that will
De the least expensive to the taxpay.

The pelican is not an attractive
bird, but Is commercially regular in
its habits. The parent birds catch
fish, and after eating their fill deposit
the others in their pouches and carry
them to their young. These pouches
will hold from three to eight pounds
of fish. They are elastic and when
distended to their utmost nearly touch

COMFORT IN AIRPLANE CABIN
Great Contrast in Flights in Inclosed
and Open Machines; as Described
by Passenger.

I recently had the opportunity of
making two airplane flights in the
same day, the first in one Of the COM
pletely inclosed transport machines.
the second in a fighting machine which
was developed in America during the
last few months Of the war. and
which has speed of about .1355dmiles
an hour. The force exerted by the
air against any exposed surface. is
about three times as great at this
speed as it is ut so miles an hour..tp.
During the first of these two trips
the only complaint that could have
been raised against conditions in the
pilots compartment would have been
that it was rather close and we
finally had TO open a window in the
side Of the body to secure a little ven
tilation One of the occupants Of
the cabin was wearing a soft felt hat,
and not the slightest rustic of air dis
turbed the brim.
In the second flight, on the other
hand, 1t was only with difficulty that
/ could lift my head far enough out
Of the gunners cockpit to look over
the side at the ground. The instant
my head was raised above the top
line Of the airplane body, so that the
wind got chance at it, my hair threat
ened to be torn out by the roots.-Ed-
ward P. Warner in Yale Review.
