Traffic Lnw Effective

The traffic policemen are making splendid progress in enforcing the new traffic laws" said V. w. Moss, "and during yesterday I noticed wonderful improvement on the down. town streets.
 Traffic was not allowed to be con gested and with pedestrians comply ing the same as drivers of vehicles, l am sure many accidents Will De avoided. However, many people seem to think they are not to go by the whistles and had to be called down by the officer, but generally everyone ap- peared to be willing to cooperate in every way.
 They are good thing for Birming- ham and make it look like one of the large eastern cities"

 Charles II brought Fr sncA fashions into England; men wore enormous pe- rukes, falling over their shoulders; women spread their hair out at the sides over cushions, with rinGlets fali- ing therefrom. In the reign of Queen Anne while the ladies wore their hair long, they generally tied it in knot. and almost completely covered it up by the extravagant headdressSs of wire and pasteboard. or feathers and rio bons
 Here is a precious paragraph l found in work of reference. "ln 11G0 a lady's hair was turned up over two to three feet in. height, plastered with pomade and powder, adorned with false curls, ribbons, jewels, flowers, and os- trich feathers. A head when thus dressed kept for three weeks Think of having to live by day and try and sleep at night with such a monstrous contraption on ones head.
 It's good to note that after the fall of the French monarchy comparative simplicity in head dress came back. and a scarf was the only decoration. this later became the turban. under whica the hair was brushed up tightly at the back. with or without side ring1ets.

 "Within the next five or ten years, !" he said, people will be able to cross the Atlantic ocean in less than day and in much more cOmfost than in travel by steamer"
 The development Of directionai wire less, he added, would enable pilots to fly by night and in murky weather as well as on clear days.
 The most needed Improvement in aviation for the present, he said. was construction of flying machines capa- ble of landing on and taking off from small areas. such as the roofs of buildings.

HAS 9-EGG BREAKFAST
"A Square Meal at Last" Says
 English Adventurer.
Makes Three Months' Canoe Trip fn Far Nerth Of Canada and
 Alaska.

Winnipeg, Man.-Hugh Kindersiey. twenty-one years old, son of Sir Rob- ert kindersley, governor of the Hud- son Bay company, has returned from a three months canoe trip through the Far North of Canada and Alaska
 With Capt. Tom O'Kelly, a veteran of the conpany's service, as his guide and only companion, he set out from Athabasca Landing in 10foot canoe. He travelled by Athabasea river, Athabasea lake, Slave river. Great Slave lake and the Mackenzie river to within 90 miles of the Arctic ocean, visiting the old Hudson bay fur posts on his way. At Fort Good Hope he crossed the Arctic circle and was then in the region of the midnight sun and continuous daylight. AS he says, he 'saw no stars from early in June until August T."
 Beyond Fort McPherson and Arctic Red river he ascended Rat river, "a narrow torrent of rushing glacier wa ter that drops as much In 60 miles as the Yukon in 2,000," crossed the Rocky mountains and, with supplies completely exhausted, reached Fort Yukon August 13.
 "A square meal at last" wrote the young EngliShman in his diary. "Never before have I eaten nine eggs for breakfast. not to mention ham, bread jam, cake, coffee and whap- sing"
 From Fort Yukon he went up the Yukon past Dawson and White Horse, through fhe old i[londike gold fields and took steamer at Skasway for Van couver. The two adventures camped out constantly and the young sclon of the house Of Kindersley became an expert camp cook.
 "While fighting our way Gp Rat river" he said mosquitoes swarmea about in dense clouds If renewed my eauntlets nay hands were instant rv hidden w'th the insects. Stumbling through the tundra, lost my mos quito-bar helmet and soon my face was covered with the blooG of crushed mosquitoes. But l enjoyed every min ute of it."

DEAD WAIT SHIPMENT
1900 Bodies of Yankee Heroes
 Are in French Ports.
Rine Thousand Bodies Already Have Been Brought Back-Aii Removed
 From Germany.

Paris.-Nearly 5000 bodies of Amer ican soldiers who died or were killed tn France during the war have been shipped to the United States and turned over to their nearest relatives. and 1900 more await shipment at French ports, if Is announced by the United States grave registration sery- ice. The work of removing the bod ies of fallen Americans is expected to De completed by next summer.
 Nearly 50 per cent Of the bodies of American officers and enlisted men to the United States. according to re- cent estimates. At frequent intervals parents and wives. of dead soldiers come to France to remove the re- mains of their relatives, but upon see ing the cemeteries here and learning Of the extreme care taken of them have decided upon France as inc final resting place for the fallen.
 The elimination of bodies within the war zone began on September 15. and since then work has been com pleted in IT cemeteries. Operations at Bony, the first of the big American cemeteries. has begun, and 55 per cent of the men buried there will be sent 10 the United States.
 Nearly 2000 men wifi work all win ter in order to complete the removals by next summer. The task of ex- huming the bodies Of soldiers buried in Great Britain has been finished, 30 per cent of them being shipped to the United States.
 Removal of bodies from occupied areas in Germany and Luxembourg has just been completed, and all. of them were sent to America. Work ing forces will begin operations in Belgium next month, and from ceme- teries in that country 1031 bodies will be removed. The work of eXhuming bodies in Brest, Bordeaux and St. Lazare areas has been completed. and now the efforts of the Americans will be concentrated on the war zone. It is not probable that the first of the uniform headstones recently decided upon by the war memorials council will be set in the four permanent cem- etsries until next autumn.

How to Succeed-How to Get Ahead--How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
TABULATING YOURSELF

nH ANY firms and big businesses 1Ya have way of tabulating people who come to them for employment so that they have notion of the physi- cal and mental characteristics of the applicants before accepting them.
 It is rather 8 good idea to do some of this tabulating yourself. Often you can get better hint from this than you will get from doctor or teacher And If you work to bring yourself closer to par, where you find you are below 1t, such tabulation will pay you well.
 It is easy to get hold of charts where different qualities are given points to show their relative value. Get one of these and start measuring yourself.
 One such chart which sets out to good citizen divides these qualities into g separate iterns, totaling up to 1000 points. The highest number of points for any one item is 8. This item is Assuming Responsibility. There is one 70, for honesty and re- liability, and two sixties, cooperation and helpful initiative. Taking care of health and grasp of fundamentals, each get 30; courtesy is given A, and loyalty, promptness and choosing good associates each have 40. Of course simply knowing where you are weakest is not enough to hell you much, though it is better than ig- norance. Once you know that you fall behind, say, in initiative or CO ..s.,ls.. = C., ~5s, 4, ; uQ . gad to do some personal development work to engage in self-training. There Is no better way to start making the best of yourself.
 And there Is lot of fun in tab ulatiug your friends

CAUSES HOG DISEASE
Paralysis Traced to Larvae of
 Blue Bottle Fly.
Minnesota Scientists Also hope to Find Origin of Infantlle
 Paralysis.

Minneapolis. Minn.-Minnesota Uni versity farm school experts issued a statement that infantile paralysis was traeeable to the larvae of the green bottle fly. This theory, which, it is hoped, will make it possible for medi- cal authorities not only to prevent the spread of paralysis epidemic among children, but also to provide cure, has been studied by group of farm school experts.
 The subject has been under consid- eration at the Minnesota experiment station, in cooperation with certain medical authorities. It became known, as result of the investigation. that the larvae of the bottle fly was re- sponsible for hog paralysis and lim- berneck in poultry.
 Studies are being made by R. Adam Butcher and Stanley D. Wilkins of the station, in cooperation with D. c. Beaver and w. A. Billings of the vet erinary division of the university, and A. L. Smith of the poultry division
 These experts were considerably en- lightened-a as to the causes and method of control of animal paralysis by cer- tain discoveries made in an attempt to trace the causes of limberneck in poultry. Tn experiments cockerel was fed on the larvae of green bottle flies. which had fed on the head of a hog which had died of paralysis.
 The result was that limherneck im- mediately developed in tie cockerel. Next the process was reversed. Paral- ysis Of the hind quarters was produced in guinea pigs by feeding them larvae which had fed on chicken which showed limheneck symptoms.
 The information gained from the experiments have caused the univer- sity officials to send out bulletins to Minnesota farmers urging them to protect their live stock and poultry, and possibly human health, by burn ing or burying deeply all carrion. They cite this as an additional argu- ment for farm and home sanitation.

 What of the man who broke
 Roads fer the hosses' feet2 Sing Of the arm thet's strong. Sing of the saw thet shines,
 Sing of the choppers might,
 Sing of the boss's brain ; Who ever sung your song, Swampers among the pines,
 Fellahs who led the fight
 Out in the snow an rain We are the pioneers, We are the great advance,
 We are the men who break Roads with our horny hands. Ours not the shouts an cheers, Ours not the singers chants
 Ours but a path to make Straight through the forest lands. They who shall come shall reap Glory that we have won, The. who shall come shall claim Praise an the worlds hooray. Ours h,it 6 trust to keep, Ours but q road to run;
 Others shall walk to fame
 After we lead the way. So 1t shall often be,
 So 1t shall be in life,
 So It shall often seem,
 Seem In the things men do-- Sung iD no history,
 Heard in no tale of strife, Oft shall the dreamer dream, Fergof when his dream comes
