WAR RISK

The new regulations governing re-
instatement of lapsed war risk insur-
ance are very liberal. No ~ex-service
man need feel that he has lost his
right to reinstatement merely because
he failed to apply before July /, 1920.
In fact, there is no provision whereby
any ex-service man will be deprived
of his right to reinstatement within
the five years after the date of the
termination of the war as declared by
proclamation by the president, provid-
ing he shows his instability to the
satisfaction of the director of the bur-
eau of war risk insurance.
At the present time, this evidence
of instability is no more than that
required prior to July 1, 1920, for
those men who have been discharged
not more than eighteen months sue
ceeding the month of discharge. That
is, any man who was discharged in
January, 1919, may re~instate any time
during the month of July, 1920, by
merely renting two months prem
iums with his application and his
statement that he is in as good health
as at the date of discharge, or at the
e~xpiratio nof the grace period, which
ever is the later date.
hTese liberal provisions will not be
extended indefinitely, however, and
every man should re-instate at once,
eve though he may have been dis
charged less than eighteen months
ago. The evidence of instability re-
quired by the director will be modi-
fled from time to time until eventu-
ally a full medical examination will be
required.

FOILS PICKPOCkETS BUT
LOSES LEG BY POISONING

1t did not avail Miss Ella McWood-
son of Plymouth, Conn, anything that
she saved her money from pickpockets
by carrying it in the elsie Thread"
bank for now she will have to give it
to surgeons for amputating her leg.
Blood poison has set in and physi-
clans have told her that the only way
to save her life is to part company
with the badly infected leg. She ad-
mits that for a long time she had
been carrying her paper money in
her stocking next to the skin. Ply
sicians say these bills frequently are
handled by persons with filthy hands,
undoubtedly were alive with deadly
germs and these were transmitted to
the wearer.

Of all the/ olive growing lands Spain Is the most important in the total yield of oil, and is by nature one of those best fitted to fIl its own large demands and furnish an increasing supply for export. Italy, the second olive-oil producing country in Europe, has an area planted in olives about a third greater than Spain has, but its yield in normal years is smaller. The French area under cultivation is con fined to the Mediterranean coast, and Is reported to be decreasing, since greater profits are obtained from viti- culture. It is asserted that in recent years 10000 hectares of olive groves have been turned into vineyards in France Tunis and Algeria are de- clared to offer better prospects for olive raising than does French teri tory in Europe.

GOES BACK TO ROMAN LAW
Writ Of Injunction Almost as old as the institution of Trial
 by Jury.

Use of the injunction Is feature of the law almost as cid as the insti- tuition of trial by jury. It was first used in 1882, when the king of Eng land empowered the chancellor to issue writs restraining the barons from over riding the common law courts. The principle of injunction dates back fur ther still to Roman law: "It is clas- sified in the law as one of the 'ex- traordinary writs.' Its essential pur- pose is to prevent the doing of wrong whose effects. if consummated, would be irreparable. Tn other words, i'm stead of waiting for a threatened wrong to work its damage, which a law court might redress by punishment or the assessment of damages, the equity court steps in with its 'extraor- dinary writ of injunction to prevent the damage being done. It's twin is mandamus, which commands perform ancs of certain rights and duties. while the province of injunction is to forbid performance of certain acts which might interfere with rights or result in wrongs

This strait separates the main ,s,and of the Japanese group, Hondo. from the smaller island of Kiushu at ,h. south. It is now crossed by . car ferry. which is rapidly becoming insufficient to meet the demands that gre made upon it. Two years are to be spent in studying the geological formation of the sea bed in the strait and in drafting of the general plan sf work fin preparation for the actual undertaking of tunneling, so that the real work will not commence until 1921. Engineers and workmen will be sent to America and Europe to make | study of what has been achieved in these countries in the way of tunnel engineering. The line is to be seven miles long, one mile of which will be entirely under the sea.

No More Pups.

A little friend of mine who lives next door has been teasing his mother for a puppy. Knowing the destructive habits of such animals, she has hrmiy refused to let him have one. At last he persuaded her to let him borrow one for half day to show her that a puppy knew enough to properly De have himself. Being warned that he must watch the puppy every minute it was in the house, the little chap for a time was careful to keep his eye on it; but, finally tiring of such yigi- lance, he relaxed his attention only to give the puppy the chance 1t had been waiting for. It improved it to the full by chewing to pieces one of his most cherished Christmas toys. This was too much for the young host.

FREIGHT CAR BROKE AWAY
Peculiar Happening Hailed as Some. thing Particularly New In His
 tery of Raiiroadinq.

The Erie railroad has demonstrated the practicability of theory that a freight train may lose a car from It's midst and keep to its schedule with It's crew in ignorance of their loss. and Ed Mott, of Goshen, the local histo- rian, is happy.
 For a generation Mott has been tell ing folks of an Erie train that left Sus- Quehanna in the winter of 1855 with IS cars of cattle. At Port Jervis one car was missing. It had disappeared from the middle of the train without leav- ing broken couplings or other traces of the manner of It's ejectment. Two days later the missing car was found in field near the track at Shohola. It was empty. The cattle it had held were recovered in Sullivan county, New York. They had freed themselves from the car and crossed the Delaware river on the ice.
 Engineer Albert o. Roberts was driving train to New York last Sun day morning. At West Tuxedo air brake trouble led to the discovery that the fourteenth car was missing. The thirteenth and fifteenth cars had re- coupled themselves. Search led to the discovery of the missing car alongside the track mile to the north.
 The accident of Sunday was exactly the same as the one which Mott de- scribes as of sixty-odd years ago, ex- cept that the modern form of brake caused the loss of car to be discsy- cred more quickly than was the case in the old days. when the couplings were of simple design and the brakes were operated by hand-New Haven Union.
