Quebec, Feb. 23.--Low water IN

materially curtailed the manu-

Type Sizes.
GRANT M. HYDE.

IT heard the grocer tell a newspa-
per advertising man today that he
wanted his advertisement set In
twelve point type. What did he mean,
Daddy?'
HE meant the size of the type,
which printers call points. Thousands
Of different varieties Of type are used
in modern printing, and each variety
is made in a large number Of sizes.
from the tiny type used for footnotes
at the bottom Of page. up to the
big types used in posters and placards.
These are made of metal. though The
very biggest are of wood.
Until quite recently. types had
special names. the small sizes being
those of Jewels, such as pearl. dia-
mond, ruby. agate and SO forth. Bre-
vier and plea were names of larger
sizes Now it all goes by numbers.
known as points.
THE point is just a unit of meas

BABIES
SHOULD DE- CLAIM
Or. RolInick Says Certain In
herited Diseases Justify
Theory.

Children born deformed and suffer-
ing from inherited diseases of a GER
tain nature should be allowed to die
and operations prolonging their lives
forbidden. according to DR.. Arthur H.
Rollnick, physician. some time of
Capetown, South Africa. and now of
Chicago. Ill. who is here in connec-
ton with his advocacy of eugenic
marriage laws.
DIR. Rollnick Is disciple of DR..
Harry j. Haiselvan OF Chicago. who
before his death in June. 1919. at
tracted wide attention by his refusal
to perform an operation on a baby
deformed at birth. DR.. Rollnick, while
admitting his beliefs are radical in
the medical world. cites statistics to
strengthen his prediction that unless
ardized eugenic legislation the world
will be insane within 200 years"
sugEests First Step.
Prevention is better than cure. DIR.
Rollnick states. and his first step
would be to rid the world. at their
birth, of children who viii grow up
mentally and ply sically defective, and.
In many instances. transmit their affilc-
tons to poster1ty.
There is at present a movement on
foot to obtain national legislation by
Congress for eugenic marriage laws.
based on a similar law in effect In
Alabama. preventing those whose chill
dren might be degenerates from mar
rying Such a law is needed because
so per cent of the population Of the
country at present probably would fail
to pass a strict examinatio and their
marriage would be prevented. This
percentage Is growing. DR.. Rollnick
said.
Urges Better Living Conditions.
As another step in cutting down
disease. DIR. Rollnick believes in i'm
proved living conditions for those
forced to live in congested city tene-
ments Many OF these places are
breeding places for immortality and
disease. he states.
Our government spends thousands
Of dollars preventing hog cholera and
diseases Of ivestock." he said. Com
paratively little is spent safeguard
ing the health of our citizens. The
Department Of Agriculture conducts
costly experiments on the propagation
of animals. Nothing is spent on the
propagation of the human species"
Education of children in matters re-
lating to their health and the well
fare Of their bodies is urged by DR..
Rollnick Much of this education
should come through frank discussion
between children and parents. he be-
lieves.

is one seventy-second part of an inch.
Eight point typs-which Is perhaps
the size in most general use-is eight
seventy-seconds of an inch high and
nine lines can be set in an inch. Or.
to look at 1T another way. seventy
two point type is an inch high.
You can try this out with a foot
rule on newspaper or a book. Meas
ure off an inch, then count the num-
Der of lines within the inch. Divide
this into seventy-two and you will
approximately hit the size. Look out
that you are not fooled by the extra
space between the lines. Quite often,
type is cast with a smaller face on
bigger body. as a nine point face on
ten point body, to make the lines
stand little further apart. and make
them easier to read. In book work
the type is often loaded which means
that thin strip Of lead. of the thick
ness of one or two points is put be-
tween each line
Nowadays when there are so many
school papers and magazines and so
many boys and girls clubs have their
own organ it is good to know the
styles and sizes of type. And, as
advertising plays a part in nearly
every business, general knowledge
of type sizes will often prove useful.

VIENNA. June 11.--This great city Of
Vienna Is In the grip OF slow IA
mine. Much has been done to alle-
yiate distress and the situation has
temporarily improved. but the danger
has by no means been eliminated.
Food conditions here are probably
worse than in any other city in CEN
trail Europe. and the resultant health
conditions worse than anywhere else
west of Poland. 1t is not that there
are epidemics. There has been less
influenza here than In the United
Statess
Diseases which are slowly sapping
Austrias life away are those of NAL
nutrition, namely tuberculosis. ricketts,
and softening of the bones. In all the
big cities. nearly every one. the doc
tors say, has tuberculosis. 1t is only
when the system is weakened and the
vitality diminished. as is the case
here. that this ravenous malady can
develop TO any extent.
ricketts, IL Widespread.
Examination of large number of
infected and more than 20 per cent

advanced cases sanitartums are being
hastily established through both pri-
| vate and public efforts. The rest can
presumably be cured when the peo-
pie get enough to eat. but only then.
ricketts, Is widespread among the
younger children. The situation is
being studied by government experts.
but figures are not yet available. Sim
liar to ricketts, Is the softening of the
bones, which overcomes not only chill
dren but adults DR.. Clemens Won
Pirquet. a noted specialist. said that
the nuns In several covenants, in their
devotion. believed that Christ was per-
hitting them to suffer starvation for His
sake. and so restricted themselves that

death resulted.

The death rate In Vienna is more
