CONDEMN TERM "FAlR SEX"
English Women Go on Record as Op.
posed to Phrase Belonging to
sygone Age"

It has been officially declared In Eng
land that women, en- bloc, are neither
''week" nor fair" At least the Wom-
ems Freedom league, under the lead.
ership of Councillor Margaret Hodge,
has put q ban On the terms fair sex"
and weaker sex" "Spinster" and
"mother-ln-law" have also been put
on the feminine index. Further, 1t is
averrcd, once and for all time that:
Woman's Judgment is as good as
mans.
Women talk less than men.
Women can keep a secret.
zone Irritating CUSTOM" said MISS
Hodge, comes from an age when to be
fair was womans first and foremost
duty, The only women who counted
were for ornament rather than for use,
Women may be the weaker sex physi.
cally, but certainly not morally. The
name mother-in-law is still the stand

WHY:
Surgeons of Today Must Be
Good Carpenters.

We have wondered at the skill Of
surgeons In grating pieces Of skin
from frogs leg or from a human
body upon the sklnless injury caused
by a burn or other accident.
But the marvels of modern surgery
do not end there. Bone" grating Is
an art that demands the skill Of
specialist In the most remarkable kind
of carpentry"
Electrically driven circular saws in
the hands Of a bone carpenter can
now be used to slot, splice, and alter
fractured part Of ones skeleton.
Sometimes a part Of the broken bone
Is neatly shaped and slid down into
a slot cut into part Of the fractured
member. Screws sf steel, silver, ivory,
or screws made out Of the patients
own skeleton, arc used to hold these
jointed pieces firmly In place.
One curious result of these ingeni-
GUS attempts Is shat of repairing an
injured jaw. A piece of bone re-
moved from the edge Of broken hip
bone was found to serve splendldly
when properly fitted into a mans
broken jaw. This man today literally
chews his food with his hip-bone-an
anomalous situation indeed!
Never before IN the worlds history
was there such an opportunity for
bone carpentry as that offered by the
war. The knowledge thus gained was
not lost with the coming Of peace

FARMER OWES MUCH TO MULE
Animal lie Hard and Rugged Worker
and Almost Indispensable in
Many Localities.

The mule, like everybody else, has
his place. He Is considered a bad
actor. Fathers caution their sons
about going near any animal with long
ears and ropy tail The sons know
what the animal will do because they
have been looking over the funny
paper" each Sunday and were de-
lighted In seeing the mule fold up and
let loose with a kick that sent a man
through the side of a barn or over
the fence. But in spite Of this un-
desirable advertising the mule Is with
US today on more farms than ever
before, He Is hard and rugged
worker and is especially adapted to
the more hilly farms Of our agricul-
tural sections. Even through the
Middle West there are some counties
that have more mules than horses. In
1867, the mules Of the United States
numbered $4,000, with an average
value Of $66.94. In 1890 the number
was 1921 900, valued at $78.25. By
1914 the number had increased to
4,12300O, with a value Of $119.4 per
head. On January 1, 1920, the num-
Der was 4,995,00O and the value per
head was $147.
The mule has gained rapidly In
popularity, in many localities taking
the place Of the horse, and has also
prevented the Introduction Of the trac.
tor In many places. There are not a
few mule ranches over the United
States, the owners finding it a pay
ing kind Of stock to raise. The de.
mand is increasing and those having
them for sale cannot supply the mar
ket-Thrift Magazine.

There seems to ne no good reason
why in this country the gathering Of

ippi, one negro, Sam Williams, shot
another negro, Bud Smith, and he
died in five minutes from the effects
of the wound. The ball entered his
thigh and severed the large artery,
death resulting from loss of blood be-

1t seems that the trouble Sunday was
