There had been two parties in
Serbia, the White Hand and the Black

was in favor of the Karageorgevitch
family and succeeded in killing the
Obrenovitches. Once this Black Hand

Whenever shortage of work appears,
somebody raises the howl to let the wom-
en- 90 and give the jobs to the men who
need them. Income tax returns indicate
that the need is not all on the male side.
When the tax returns for the state
was found that 107 SOB single women
had reported as self-supporting, and 90
OIL single women answered as heads of
families with others dependent upon
them for support. In addition to these
single wage earners there were several
thousand married women with depend
ents.
These are the figures for but one state.
or for little pin money. They are work
ing because, in their cases, the old fond
notion that man is the wage Garner has
proved an economic fallacy.
The industrial problem cannot be
solved by stealing from these women the
jobs they need. Instead, there must be
such a revival of business as will make
jobs for everybody. The sooner the al
tered economic situation is recognized
and people resume work on the best basis
they can arrange, the sooner this will hap
pen. One job does not shut out another,
but creates more jobs through its demand
for working materials and the purchas-
ing power which its wage confers.

Prof. f. \. NIcCollum of Johns Hop
kins university says that if Americans
would each drink a quart of milk a day,
and eat proportionately less meat, they
would live to a ripper old age, and would
be healthier and have better eyesight
right along.
He has proved it by rats, which for
dietary purposes are said to be much
| like human beings. For - years Prof.
( McColIum has been experimenting with
/ his charming little pets, feeding them va
riOusly, after the manner of human be-
| ings, as far as the fiftieth generation.
/ When a rat is not fed properly, it suffers
from malnutrition just like a child, with
ricketts, and other familiar symptoms.
When it gets the proper amount of butter
fats and other requirements for an am
pie and balanced ration, it thrives. So
/ do children, and so, the professor insists,
will men and women if they will pay as
much attention to their diet as intelli-
gent people now pay to the feeding OF
children.

much of the tuberculosis in the human
family is attributable to the infection re
ceived from cows.
Another statement made at the confer
ence in Boston that may be of interest to
Vermont is that bovine tuberculosis can
be eradicated. and that statement was
supplemented by still another and by an
other authority who declared that during
the past five years tuberculosis has been
reduced 20 per cent and that today a
large number of purebred herds in the
United States are free of the disease. We
