New ENGLAND Least American.

Talk of Americanizing New England
rings oddly on American ears. If the
cradle of our country needs American
izinS. where are we?
We think of Massachusetts as the
heart of New England. Among the
states it is next to the Oldest" But
count of her present generations
parentage shows Massachusetts TO be
almost the least American of the As
states. the World Outlook states.
The 1910 census discovered that only
So per cent of Massachusetts folks
were native born of native parents.
More than 6S per cent were either for
eign born or were born here Of foreign
parents. Later figures would be even
more astounding. The years that in
tervene between 1910 and the outbreak
OF the war saw the greatest influx of
immigrants the country has ever
known.

ETHER FIRST USED IN BOSTON
In 1874 Horace Wells, Dentist, Made
a Successful Experiment on
Himself.

In 1914, Horace Wells, dentist Hart
ford. Conn, attended lecture by Col
ton on nitrous oxid gas. In illustrat-
ing the lecture gas was administered
TO one of the audience, who became
unconscious. This led Wells to be-
lieve that it might be employed to rem
der painless the extraction of teeth.
He tried it on himself and found that
it was so.
During the same year William Nor
ton, Boston dentist, heard that sui
furic ether could be inhaled in small
quantities to produce Inconsistencies.
Accordingly, he experimental. He was
insensible for eight minutes. On re-
covering he concluded that ether might
be employed successfully in surgical
work. On October 16. 1876. Morton adj
ministered ether to a patient in the
Massachusetts, general hospital in
Boston.
1t was in November, 1847. that Simp"
son. famous Scottish scientist Of Edin-
burgh, resolved to try personally the
inhalation of chloroform. Sitting with
his friends, Duncan and Keith, around
dinner table, he proposed that they
inhale chloroform. Each consented to
the test. First, their minds were iiven-
ed; then they fell into deep stupor.
Simpson, recovering first, found Dun
can snoring on the floor, and Keith.
half-sensible. struggling to regain the
chair from which he had fallen.

LETTER TO EDITOR

The M0rmans Again-C Correspondent
Says Their Letters Convey Agree
able Impressions OF Legic And
Sincerity.
To the Editor Of the Euening Capital:
A Mormon. like every other kind
OF person, has the free-will 10 be good
or bad / could be friends with a
Mormon as / am friends with every
one regardless OF religion. but Il is
not with persons. good or bad, but
with theories, that we are concerned.
My condemnation OF Mormanism is
not based upon the relative merits or
dement's OF a Mormon individual. but
upon the theory OF polygamy which
Mormanism advocates. OF this sys-
TEN Mormons may be sincere dupes
or they may not. Polygamy is dead
IL evil. only different from prostitnt-
ism in that man is given the same
freedom under the guise OF marriage,
and as a divine ordinance. One wife
for one man and chastity for men as
well as women is the Christian ideal
and teaching. or course so-called
Christians will fan from this through
the abuse OF free-will. but the
Church does not consider this nee
essity or a good thing, polygamy
does.
have read quite a good deal con-
corning the history and doctrines OF
Mormanism from Mormon pamphlets
which were left at home ] happen
ed to visit during the war. The resi-
dents in the house would not read
the papers, but ] did, as ! have al
ways enjoyed comparative religions.
The Mormon claim TO a divine revela-
ton Is similar to the Catholic. but
unlike the Catholic, there Is no con-
tinuity of apostolicity. II is merely
Bible-begotten sect! AS Bible
begotten sect it is harmless and
worthy of federation. As a system
Of polygamy it is an evil and should
be wiped out like all social diseases.
AT present, however, the law does
control polygamy to some extent
among the Mormons, but this is their
belief. If not, then it has changed
a few spots, and is nothing after all
but a Bible-begotten sect
The letters of the Mormon elders
in town convey an agreeable impress
sion of logic ard sincerity. This be-
ing the case a discussion on Catho-
licity versus Mormonism will reveal
the Truth to them.

Good for Every Day Use.

Get up right in the morning. Go
to bed right at night. Start with JOY
in your heart, hope in the future, kind
ness in your purpose. If it is a dark
day, never mind; you will brighten II
up. If it is n bright day, you will add
to the brightness. Give a word OF
cheer. a kindly greeting and warm
handshake to your friends, says a
writer in LesHe's.
If you have enemies, look up. pass
them by, forget and try to forgive.
If all of us would only think how
much of human happiness is made
by ourselves. there would be less of
human misery.
II all of us would bear in mind that
happiness is from within and not from
without, there would be a well-spring
of joy in every heart and the sun
would shine forever.

better literature than the original, as
the best elements of the story are not

Scientific Triumph.

Students of the Carnegie Institute

radio trxnSmitter jim Central hall to
send out the music of an orchestra

Professor Rath, hearing the music in
the experiment station of the univer-

indians still Use Blow Gun.

The blow gun is still popular for
hunting birds among the Koasati In
dams in Louisiana. This weapon con
sists of tube, usually of cane, about
six feet long, rubbed smooth on the in
side with an implement made for the
purpose and carefully Strengthened
with the aid of fire. Slender pointed
darts about eight inches long are used
as ammunition, each one wrapped
neatly along a third of its length with
fhistledown or cotton to make it fit
the inside of the tube. The hunter
places a dart In the tube. which he
raises to his lips and with which he
takes careful aim at his game; then
with a quick puff of breath he drives
the little dart flying with a sufficient
force to impale and kill small bird
or squirrel.

New Aerial Regulation.

The small Australian who flies a
toy balloon or runs with his japanese
kite against the wind may offend
against the majesty of the war pre-
cautions act. A new war regulation is
sued in February. 1920. gives power to
the naval or military authorities in the
commonwealth TO declare any area a
prohibited area for the flying of ball
looms during any specified period.
Balloon is defined as anything up to
an airship. The reason for this all-in-
elusive regulation was primarily the
flight from SYDNEY to Melbourne of Sir
TOSS Smith, the airman who crossed
the world from London TO Darwin.

Casing Forest Fire Impractical.


The officials of the Uniteds States
department of agriculture have been
in receipt of so many suggestions rel
atiye to extinguishing forest fires with
the use of gas bombs dropped from air.
planes that it has been found neces-
sary to issue a statement for the pur-
pose of explaining that the scheme is
not feasible. For the purpose of over
coming q detachment of men,. mix
ture of one part of virulent poison to
100000 of air would be entirely suf-
ficient to accomplish the purpose, but
one of $50 parts TO the thousand would
not be powerful enough to quench a
c0nflagration. Another thing to he
taken into consideration is the difficult
ty of dropping the bombs with the nee
essary precision. The art of striking
target with any degree of accuracy
has not been developed at this time
and there is no prospect that it will
be sufficiently perfected to the point of
becoming available for the purpose of
fighting fires.

LOSSES IN TAXES

The Belair Times calls atten-
ton to the loss in taxes caused
yearly in Hartford county by
attachments and insolvencies.
"This means that the property
assessed to an individual when
sold is, on application to the
County Commissioners, stricken
from the tax list, and is lost as
an asset to the county until the
next general assessment, usually
a period of sixteen years"
This applies, however, to per
sonal property only. There IS a
law which looks after the trans
fer OF real estate" says the
Times. Here in Anne Arundel
county, since the first OF June, a
local law has been in effect re-
curing all real property to be
transferred on the assessment
books by the County Treasurer
before a deed can be received Tor
record by the Clerk of the Cir
cult Court. This law was passed
at the last session OF the Legis-
lature and is wholesome and
proper piece of legislation. Much
annoyance was caused the Off
Gals and taxpayers because,
when the levy was struck, the
titles to considerable amount OF
real estate had passed to persons
other than those TO whom the
various pieces were assessed. I'm
der the new law the tax books
will show from day to day who
is to be charged with the owner
ship OF real estate. as it is made
incumbent upon the new owner
when he presents his deed for re-
cording to prove to the clerk that
the proper transfer has been
made on the assessment books
So, at the date of making up the
levy, the assessment books show
with exactness just who are the
taxpayers of the county on real
property, and the bills go to the
proper person.
1t is otherwise with personal
property In Hartford, the abate
ments and insolvencies in 1919
amount to Sllf,s95.OO quite q
considerable sum in the total and
in the course of ten years a most
considerable item" comments the
Times. 1T has been estimated
that our public sales in the spring
and fall amount to more than
100000 This property passes
from one citizen who has it
struck from the tax books, but it
Is not assessed to the pur-
chaser"
And public sale is only one Of
the many avenues through which
all kinds OF assessable personal
property are lost to taxation.
