Experiment Recently Made Shows
Great Possibilities in This Form
of Treatment for Toning Up
the Nervous System.

1t IS almost sure death to step upon
the third rail of an electric road. for
he who does it viii get a shock of at
least 500 volts. But you can jump on
a third rail and stand on it with both
feet and feel nothing. You must, how
ever, jump off with both feet or you
will get the shock The reason is that
when both feet are on the rail there is
no circuit.
Watching two boys amusing them
selves by jumping on and off a third
rail on Long Island recently, II. Germs
back, editor of the Electrical Expert
menter, wondered what would happen
if he were to stand on the pole of a
very powerful Tesla coil. He went to
where there is one of the electrical
testing laboratories, where there is one
of the most powerful high frequency
machines in the country, giving 500,-.
900 volts and using 20 kilowatts This
machine throws streams of electric

accident. He had with him, however,
a live rabbit, and they let him put the
bunny on that perilous spot.
cat first" writes Mr.. Gernsback in
the Electrical Experimenter, 'he was
much frightened and jumped off the
plate at about five kilowatts. Long
sparks had shot out from his nose and
above his eyes and at the ends of the
ears. So the writer wetted the plat
form with water, because he thought
that sparks might be jumping into
the rabbits belly and legs which in
sulated the fur part of his body, giving
rise to stinging sparks. An improve
ment was seen Immediately. The
rabbit now held perfectly still for
about 20 seconds, taking the full charge
of 20 kilowatts at 100000 volts. Long
spark streamers, four or five feet long,
shot from brer' rabbits nose, ears and
back, and, curious to note, immediate
ly above the eyes, and after that the
rabbit took the full charge, never NOV

After a while the rabbit seemed to en-
joy the performance, and right after
his seance he was as lively as ever

anything elee, 1t is too early to pre-
dict whether this season will see a
similar triumph for the straight-line
dress.
The use of the old-time light weight
materials is brought about partly
through these new designs and partly
through the scarcity of wool fabrics.
The present high price of silk, too, has
had a great deal to do with making
cotton fabrics popular, but even these
are not inexpensive, for this summers
cotton frock will cost almost as much
as last years silken dress.
A frock illustrating a revival Of
three old-fashioned features has the
three-tier ruffied skirt cut in petal
points, the old-fashioned bertha draped
about the shoulders and the very old
time rocco applique ribbon and
chenille relief embroidery which came
into prominence in the days of Marie
Antoinette. This is a design which
might be attractively developed as a
lingerie frock for young girl, with
a simple embroidery substituted for
the more ornate relief work.

Moroccan Spanish LeNus

One of those historic bits, stranger
than fiction, and one which contains
the note of poetic justice TOO often
lacking in ordinary experience, is the
the part of Spain to nationalize and
rehabilitate the Jews of Morocco. The
king of Spain himself is at the head
Of the movement, being chief Of the
honorary presidents and being sec
onded by many of the most prominent
statesmen of all parties. After three
centuries of estracism the Jews are to
be officially invited to return, as it
were. and to resume their position in
the evolution of the land.

Cicero, a name was given him by cor

Daylight saving has become local
issue throughout the country, with
the prospect of rather chaotic condi-
tions in regard to time reckoning and
many consequent dilemmas. New
York CITY, which by the sun is only one
hour ahead of Chicago and other mid
western points, by the adoption of
daylight saving becomes two hours
ahead. Communities which turn the
clock ahead one hour will be that
much at variance in time with others
in the same longitude which do not
take the same action. Railroads of
course will stick to a standardized
schedule, but that portion of the pub
lie moving from one place to another
is sure to encounter confusion. So
far the difficulty asserts itself in the
financial relationships of different
parts of the country, with the bank
ers hanipered by the varying condi-
tions. The only alternative if New
York persists in the new schedule,
seems to be for mid-western and west
ern bankers to arise an hour earlier.

Denmark, which before had been re-
garded as placid, busy, and opulent
from profits accruing through the great
war, shows strong disposition to get
into the limelight of disturbance. So
cial democrats have been active for
abolition of the monarchy, a general
strike and the Inauguration of a re-
public. A strong display of military
force enabled the government to meet
the first outbreaks of trouble success
fully. Coming as it did with other
European uprisings, the assumption
that it is connected with them and
part of a general plan is not unwar-
ranted. The prosperous condition Of
the country is the principal augury
for lack of success of any radical de-
signs.

able throughout the history of clothes.
1t is seldom, however, observes fash

At this stage of the metamorphosis
of fashion the well dressed woman,

important, however, from the stand
point of fashion news as well as a
guide in making future selections to
note the new things as they are
brought out and to follow them
through their various incarnations, for
many of them are put forth for the
new ideas that they embody.' Dress

The freak tornado which visited Ala
bama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Missouri and Ohio took a toll Of
nearly 200 lives, with hundreds more
in the injured list. Chicago and vi
cinity suffered heaviest, with Georgia
next in the number of casualties. The
storm was not only unusual in the
area covered, but in the shifting Of
the centers of intensity and the fact
that it visited regions which were con-
sidered ordinarily immune from such
dangers. The latter was especially
true in the vicinity of Lake Michigan,
where scientists have always claimed
the existence of such body of water
neutralized the menace of severe wind
storms. Another freak of the storm
which has affected scientific theories
and established a new precedent was
its coming so early in the year. Such
visitations in the United States had
before been almost exclusively con-
fined to summer months and generally
followed severely hot weather. The
late demonstration is regarded as one

The international monetary situation
has been eased considerably through
the shipment of British gold to the
United States. This has lessened the
strain on British credit and white it has
depleted to some extent one Of their
most valuable home resources, it has
improved their position abroad and in
creased the standing in international
markets of the British pound. This
has been reflected in advanced quota
tions for pounds sterling. With every
advance their purchasing power in
creases. France shows an improving
position in the evident intention of the
nation to economize and to finance
itself from its own resources. The
great confidence of the French nation
and its latent financial strength are
seen in it's ability to float huge loans
at home.

In Germany, the coalition cabinet
headed by Herr Mueller promises to
remain in power until the elections,
early In June. Concessions to the Ia
Dor element had much to do with
sitting the radical crisis in the Ruhr
basin. Spasmodic hostilities in that
and adjacent areas had not been COM
pIetely suppressed, but the outbreaks
had taken on a guerrilla aspect, with
the red forces disintegrating under
lack of supplies, poor discipline and
inefficient leadership. Considerable
of bluff to affect enforcement of the
terms of the treaty Of Versailles seems
evident in the Ruhr and contiguous
situations. If the Ebert government
had been permitted to send troops
into the neutral zone, it would have
suspended one Of the important pro-
visions of the treaty. The weakening
of this one provision could have been
made the basis for assaults upon 9th
er portions of the covenant, with a
gradual and possibly complete defeat
of the unfulfilled terms.
Settlement of the German crisis is
not absolute. fractional disturbances
are occurring, and are likely to con-
tinue, but that an ultimate condition
resembling order will be brought about
Is not unlikely. The effect which the
troubles have had on foreign credits
so necessary to Germany, and the con-
sequent Withholding Of food supplies,
raw materials, ETC., has had profound
influence on the nation as a whole.
One of the most disastrous conse-
quences following the Kapp-Luettwitz
revolution and later troubles has been
the effect upon the morale of Ger
man workmen. They are reported as
lettering on their jobs, discontented
and strongly imbued with the feeling
of i'll treatment. Production is in an
unhealthy state; precisely what the
red leaders desire for the further
ance of their designs.

Emir Feisel, who lately proclaimed

complete independence of the >coun-

watched by the Jews of the world, as
complete fulfillment of his program
would render impossible the establish

Mustapha Kemal, nationalist leader In
Turkey, continues his campaign to stir
up feeling against Christians in Asia
Minor. In a recent proclamation he
deposes the sultan as chief of the Mos

throughout Islam. Fortunately his in
fluence is not general as yet, but there
is no denying the fact that he is an
important factor, with a strong fol-
lowing is Turkish politics and a grow
ing ability to create antagonism to the
allies and all Christians.
