Scientists Believe That Race Erected
the Immense Monoliths Found in
Various Places

Giant monoliths standing strangely
alone In many places on the globe
when discovered by intrepid explor-
ers and adventures during the recent
centuries, are being referred to as the
greatest mysteries OF human history
by archeolOglsts, who are now trying
to determine what race built them.
They are scattered In far-Of places.
They are m0nstr0us pieces of rude
sculpture. They are built of terrifying
stone blocks, some weighing as much
as 30 tons.
In many districts where the great
memorials stand there are no stones
Of such size to be found. and conse-
quently they must have been trans
ported from places far away. The
most famous Of them are the "crOm-
lechs in England. Others are found
in western France, northern Germany.
In Denmark. Africa, Madagascar,
ASIA from Mt. Sinai and the Caucasus
to India; and among the most won
derfu and mysterious Of all are those
found on lonely Easter island In the
Pacific ocean. NJ. Levistre. a French
archeologist. believes they were erect
ed by the Phoenicians, as most Of them
have been found near rivers. Some
students are inclined to believe the
Phoenicians reached America by the
lost Atlantis. a legendary continent
that now Is sunken somewhere In the
Atlantic. A footprint. the Phoeniclan
mark of death. has been found carved
in many. while a coilcd snake another
mark of these navlgators also is
found.

How to Measure Trees Growth.

In the New York Botanical garden
a new instrument has been attached
to a certain maple tree. attracting the
attention of passerS-by. This is the
'dendrograph"-a delicately adjusted
machine which will actually register
the rate of growth of tree-slow as
that is A series Of blocks of wood are
attached firmly to the tree. and above
these metal "collar" which, however,
is in contact with the tree ut only two
points. A needle projects from one of
these. the other end of which traces
its movements upon a slowly revolving
paper drum" Once week this
paper Is replaced by fresh sheet and
the clockwork wound up; otherwise
the machine Is self-regulating and
needs no attention. The growth or
expansion of the tree is shown by
the needle.
The Instrument was devised by DR..

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
nave been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department

rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve OF nurses for the army and
navy. II VIII continue to supply the
needs OF the United States Public
Health Service to which II has as
signed more thun 1000 nurses in the
last year.

nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses Courses in home
hygiene and care OF the sick have been
started for thousands Of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least IA decade
through the work OF the department
of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now fiourishes actively in hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work
The department of nursing 10 unit
Ing with other organizations in q years

training schools. In educating the gen.
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and In showing communities

these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment OF dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors In home dietet-
les, in developing nutritional clinics,
and In supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction in
home hygiene and cure OF the sick in
every community In the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dalton for public health but IN some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As a community profits by the work
Of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director OF the department Of
nursing. at is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to Its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in a general cam
paign Of recruiting and must have the
support. sympathy and understanding

Ostrich Telephonino.

When the eggs on the ostrich farms
in California are ON the point of hatch
ing, a curious tapping of the shell may
be heard. This the keepers call "tele-
phoning." The sound is caused by
the chicks inside the eggs endeavoring
to break out. Those which cannot
easily emerge are assisted by the
mother bird, which viii sometimes
break an egg from which the telephon-
Ing is heard by pecking 1t carefully,
and will then aid the chick to get out.

the good OF his countrymen.
The big estate which Villa has
taken over as one of the gifts be-
slowed upon him by the Mexican
government at his surrender, offers
wonderful Chance for the man who
formerly destroyed to reconstruct ac-
cording to Torres. The estate Is par
TALLY In ruins, and altho at one time
it was handsome estate, its little
houses and colonies have become
dilapidated and the soil has been too
long untitled.
In the rebuilding Of this farm OF
more than 200O acres, Villa is now
displaying the greatest interest. He
is actually working with his own
hands to rebuild and Is directing the
efforts OF those who have settled with
him in an effort to. restore Canutillo
and to make 1t one Of the most mod4
ern farms In all Mexico.
Villa has q ready supply Of money
and is able to accomplish much which
his poorer neighb0rs can not do. He
is reported by Torres to be doing
much for his neighbors and to be as
Stunning much Of the attitude Of a
philanthropist.
Villa still retains some Of the
members OF the staff Of his bandit
army, and like all true gentlemen
farmers has his own private secre-
tary.
It is not easy for Villa to give up
many OF his bandit customs and he
still packs q huge six shooter and
rides the most peppery horses OBJ
tainable.
Even In his retirement Villa holds
q warm place In the hearts of many
OF his cOuntrymen, and he is re-
garded with the greatest respect. In
the curio stores in this dilapidated
old Mexican city busts of Villa are
displayed prominently on the shelves
along with little clay images Of Car
