and in view of the fact that sufficient time has been allowed
for checking the lists it will be necessary unless they

sured for not showing the common re-
spect due fellow citizens when he did

ment was not in order but was re-
ceived by the court.

METHUSELAH MERE OLD MAN
tant," Has He Any Other
Claim to Fame7

Noah's grandfather, Methuselah,
lived longer than anybody else.
He lived to the ripe old age of $780,
And still there is room to doubt
whether he died Of cid age or not.
Beginning at Genesis 5 :25, we read
that Methuselah was 1877 when Lamech
was born.
Lamech was 1872 when Noah was
born.
When Noah was born Methuselah
was 800 years old.
Lamech lived 595 years after the
birth Of Noah.
The flood came when Noah was 600.
Lamech had been dead only five
years.
Adding 600 to 800 makes Methuse-
lab 969 years old at the time of the
flood
Methuselah happened to die at that
age.
The question Is: Did Methuselah
die just before the food, or did the
flood drown him?
AT any rate, he lived longer than
any other man; and if the flood hadn't
come, perhaps he would still be liv-

SEES CHANGE WITH SADNESS
london Tailor Notes That Former
Soldier Is Rapidly Losing His
Trim, Warlike Figure.

The London tailors say that the
former soldier is losing his soldierly
figure. His chest which, In wartime,
was where a soldiers chest ought to
be, has now slipped down to where it
ought not to be, and his waist meas
urement has developed extensively.
The result is that the beautiful
figure Of the man of 1919 has become
rare, and fairness and fabbiness, say
the tailors, have taken the place Of
thinness and muscle.
ut makes my regimental heart
bleed to see the sloppy way in which
former soldiers now carry themselves"
said one who served as q sergeant
tailor In the war. Look at that old
tape measure hanging on the wall.
Note the f1ngermarks about the 81
inch line. That was the average
measurement Of the war waist. Com
pare it with the finger-marks On this
peace measure, which shows that the
present waist Is from 80 to 40 inches.

letter I. Today they are like an S."

Removing Moss From Canals.

When moss grows in canals, it soon
causes trouble. Yet how to remove it?
George E. Stratton of the United
States reclamation service offers sew
era1 suggestions. If there is plenty Of
time, the canal can be dried out; the
sun will kill the messy growth. When
the moss is stiff, submarine saws will
cut 1t.
Dragging the bottom with harrow
is sometimes resorted to, but a chain
is more effective. Thirty-fve miles of
canal were dragged with q chain at a
cost of 50 a mile.-Popular Science
