CUTTING THIRD SET 0F TEETH
Memphis (Tenn.) Han, at o4, Is Also Renewing His Youth and Vgor
 in Other Ways.

The adage that there is nothing new under the sun has been disproved by N. D. Starr, who has cut a third set of teeth at the age of eighty-four. when usually the only new molars, bicuspids, etc., that can be achieved are those purchased from dentist. says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 Mir. Starr. who is in the employ 0f the Memphis Artesian Water company recently found himself in need of a set of these artificial substitutes for the teeth provided by nature. But when he visited his dentist the price was too high and he decided to go tOothless. However, through one of the unac- countable happenings which some times upsets all rules. MT. Starr dis covered that he was cutting 12 new teeth. They are almost through now although they are not very useful yet owing to the fact that his gums are sore In a fashion familiar to all moth CTS of teething infants or to boys and girls whose second teeth are replacing their baby teeth, and even the older boys and girls who proudly announce "Im cutting a wisdom tooth.'
 Dentists doubtless will contend that such a thing cannot happen. But MT. Starr knows that he now has teeth where no teeth were before. More over, he says his eyesight is better than 1t was several years ago. and that so far from his vigor being i'm paired by advancing years he feels stronger and more youthful than he did when he was seventy.

TELL OF BABYLONIAN LIFE
Interesting Revelations in Clay Tablets That Were "Written" On Some
 Forty Centuries Ago.

The University of South Dakota at Vermillion has come into possession of 61 genuine Babylonian tablets, dis covered by Arabs in the ruins of bur jed cities and collected at Bagdad They have been deciphered by Dr. Edgar J. Banks of Alpine, N. J.. an authority on these clay and brick rec Ords of 4,OOO years ago, and their authenticity proved. Fully half of the tablets in this collection are perfect and all of them are leg:ble. They are only a few inches in size and were written on when they were soft clay, later being dried, or baked. Most of them are of about the date 235O E. C.. a few going as far back as 2SOO E. C., and others dating from the time of the fall of Babylon before the Per sians, in 53S B. c. The most valuable tablet of the collection is letter Holes were made through 1t so that it might be attached to a cord and carried in this way. Next In point of value and interest are a number of neo-BabylOnian tablets of sundried clay containing business contracts of all sorts and giving pictures of the life of the people after the Persian conquest. Of special interest is a small tablet of exercises in writing, done by some boy in the temple scl.ool over 40 centuries ago.

RELY TOO MUCH ON MACHINES
Writer Laments the Lack of Personal Responsibility DiscernibIe Among
 the Worlds Worker>

Writing in the Scientific Monthly on the value of handicraft in the re-edu- cation of wounded soldiers. Capt. Frank "A. Waugh of the sanitary corps, U. s. A., says:
 "It Is great defect of modern so- ciety that it depends too much on ma chinery. Everything we touch is ma chine-made The common laborer in particular hardly ever sees or touches anything but machine-made objects. He begins life in a machinemade gO- cart. eats canned food from machine made table with a stamped-steel knife. fork and spoon, dies in the hospital in a machine-made bed, Is buried with a machine-made coffin and marked with 1nachine-made tombstone. When such a man once makes with his own hands good basket or leather pocket book he begins to realize the value of honest craftmanship-the place of personal responsibility In the days labor. This Is most fundamental element in human psychology now largely lost in a mechanical world where objects are made by machines, not by men. The men only feed the machines and are themselves con- trolled by another social machine called labor union."

Chinese Silk Trade.

The American demand for silk in China has greatly increased in the last few years until at the present time about % 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 Japa- nese silks had been in favor for long time with the manufacturers of this country, but 1t was well understood that the quality of the Chinese was superior, but it was not adapted for use in this country because of the manner in which it was woven. An American manufacturer secured a moving picture reel showing the Japa- nese methods of manufacture. and as a result the Chinamen were induced to change theirs to a system to conform with the demands of the occidental customers, and the industry has ac- cordingly taken great jump.

PERMANENT "NO MANS LAND"
Sites of Probably One Hundred VII Iaqes in France Too Dangerous
 to Use Again.

Fifteen villages in the Aisne dis trict, destroyed by war, will never be rebuilt. There are IT towns in the Mane district which will be aban- doned, and probably 100 in all Of France. For many years, at least, the soil on which the villages stood will not even be tiled. It will become permanent No Mans land.
 According to government advices, the sites of these villages are too dan- gerous to be used again. In order to avoid loss of life the government has purchased the land on which the will lages stood and will keep possession of it until 1t can be made safe.
 These sites are the ones often fought over, on which the ground has been turned over and over again, burying explosives of all kinds to unknown depths. There Is no trace of buildings left in the 15 villages, so the refugees faced more than the usual hardships. They returned, however, and lived in the worst makeshift caves and dug outs.
 Only signs maintained by the gov ernment will mark the sites of the will lages. warning people of the lurking dangers-Stars and Stripes.
