BLAME ANCESTORS FOR COLDS
hertz Susceptibility to Drafts,
1t Is Asserted.

Do drafts bother you more than 9th
er people? If so. you probably have
German blood in your veins. This
opinion is advanced by Herr Prof.
Doktor TIL. Zell, according to the Vos-
sische Zeitung.
Doctor Zell says that certain species
Of animals exhibit evident dislike for
drafts and that such beasts naturally
live in forests and sheltered places.
Conversely. animals whose natural
habitat is an open space are, content
when breezes blow. Hence q horse
lets the wind smooth his coat while
monkeys and balloons shun such ex.

The professor in conclusion asks,
rs 1t then q wonder that the Ger
mans, who In earlier centuries lived In
wooded regions, are still today more
susceptible to drafts than other peo-
pies who come from treeless
tries7"'
An evident objection to this opinion
as the explanation Of sensitiveness to
drafts Is that the ancestors Of all men
lived In forests. although some races
migrated earlier than others and
therefore It may be presumed lost
their ancestral susceptibility to drafts
earlier.

RECALL OLD COLONIAL DAYS
Pearl Chain Of American Independence
May Be Traced Through Old
New England Attics.

Scattered here and there all through
New England are attics of more than
usual interest. Many Of these r in
timately connected with early history.
One of them is found in the old Cod
dington house at Quincy, Mass, known
as the Quincy mansion, and now in
the possession Of the Colonial Danes.
Here. Mary Northend writes In the
Boston Transcript. in the early days
before II was remodeled by Edmund
Quincy, a group Of free thinkers gath
cred. including Wheelright and Anne
Hutchinson. both of whom were after
ward banished on account Of their
liberal views, which did not coincide
with those Of the Puritans.
In the upper story, a low, dingy at
tic, with it's secret staircase behind
the huge chimney, still remains in
tact. On account Of Its peculiar con-
struction It might be termed a double
attic. A trapdoor leads from n part
into another division through which
escape can be made to the galleries
below and thence to the ground.
John Hancock. who married D0rO-
thy Quincy, is reputed to have spent
a night In the nursery across the hall
from the attic. BY hiding here. he
fOiled the British who were searching
for him, and later on used the secret
passageway to escape. All doubt that

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of ~Agriculture.)
IL. In the three months period ending
December 81, 1920, more than $4,000
head of live stock and poultry were
enrolled by 4S6 owners in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign now in
progress to improve the quality of do
nestle animals in the United States.
This is a large increase we the num-
Der enrolled during the previous quar-
ter. OF the stock listed, $3.50 were
males and, in accordance with the
provisions Of the campaign, all these
were purebred. The female stock
numbered S7,7Q3, and the owners have
pledged themselves to breed this stock
to purbred sires only.
The county showing greatest activ-
ity in the campaign for better live
stock during the quarterly period was
Saline county, Neb. Next in order
are Stafford county, Va; Tippecanoe
county, Ind; Pulaski county, Va. /;
Fauquier county, Va, and Platte
county, Neb. Craig county, Va,
stands out as the principal county,
since the beginning of the campaign,
in which there appears to be a strong
tendency for crossbreed ding. During
the quarter just ended II Better
Sires-Better Stock" emblems were
issued to live stock owners in Craig
county and all of them owned CROSS
BREEDS. CrOssbred animals were i'm
partially distributed among all class
es of stock, including poultry.
The records of the better-sire cam
paign continue to show that persons
using purebred sires for all classes of
animals oNl ID have a large number
of purebred females as well. In fact,
of the S7,7O3 females recorded during
the last quarter 61,504 were p%urebred.
The remainder, arranged according to
number, were grades, ~crossbreds, and
scrubs.
. Significant figures in the progress Of
the nationwide campaign to increase
the use Of purebred sires are the fol-
lowing:
Up to December 81, 1920, the total
number of persons enrolled was 3,243.
OF these 1,O75 are in Virginia, which
Is the highest state in number of en-
rollments, and 446 are in Pulaski

1.-THE Exception Proves the Rule"

With the person who thinks about
the things he says, this much-used ex-
preston must init a snag'' every time
1t is used. For exception cannot prove
q rule. Indeed. every bona fide ex-
ception weakens a rule. 81.
1t is a change in the connotation
Of saying, "~Provesall things" and 50
responsible for it's present misuse.
For in the early days of the English
language prove" meant test as
when St.. Paul said, prove all things"
And so when 1t was said that the e
ception proves" the rule there was
nothing illogical about it. Exceptions
do put q rule to test. Either they.
soon vItiate the rule or the rule is
strong enough to bring them within
its mandate.
