Ii Stands to Reason

The other day "A downtown princi-
pal summoned before her two young.
sters who had been guilty of fight
Ing another boy. After proving
their guilt, she turned the husky
looking youngster over her knee and
administered good, old-fashioned
spanking. But at the OTHER one she
hesitated. She voiced her reason
to teacher standing near: Il hate
to whip him. He's so thin and sick
ly looking she said.
The chunky culprit overheard her
speech. 81 guess criminals can be
skinny as well as fat" he sobbed &C.

DEMAND FOR PLAYING CARDS
manufacturers Report a Tremendous
Increase in Their Use, Mostly In
Private Families.

There has been a tremendous in
crease in the use of playing cards In
private families within the last 20
years in this country, the representa-
tive Of d big American card manufac-
turing house says in the New York
Times. 1t may seem strange, but 1t is
the private family that does most of
the using of cards. The proportion of
pHying-cardS used in the big clubs is
small. There is an average of from
two to three packs of playing cards
used per family each year in the
United States, it is estimated, which
is big percentage of the total.
Mems clubs absorb the higher-priced
cards, which are sold at prices vary
ing, according to the club, from 81 to
$1.5O or 81 per pack. The government
tax on cards since 1917, which was
raised last year to 8 cents per pack,
with increased cost of production, has
practically driven the cheaper cards
out of the market, and business has
gone to the higher grades, which re-
tail at from 80 to IS cents. The in
creased playing of bridge has brought
into vogue the narrower card, which is
more graceful in shape, smaller and
little less bulky.
The bulk of the cards sold have
simple standard design for the back
Among those the Dest liked in the
better class are the ones with the fine
engraved or "banknote" back, en-
sraved with the lathewOrk design
These come in the four "nlOrs and now
have linen-finish face.

Pellaqra and Income.

After three-year study Of pellagra
in the cotton-mill villages of South
Carolina, the United States public
health service shows that pellagra

and to affect more members of the
same family. AS the income rose the
disease decreased, and was rarely

highest incomes, even though this
highest was still quite low.

To Kill Wood Rorers In Lunnher

Kiln drying is fatal to some if not
all the wood-boring grubs, the forest
service laboratory of the United
States Department Of Agriculture at
Madison, Wis, has discovered. This
fact is of considerable Importance to
users of ash, hickory, and many other
woods which are attacked by insects.
Manufacturers using ash lumber, for
instance, are much annoyed by the
injury worked by the red-headed ash
borer. Afr seasoning has no effect
on the activities Of these grubs, but,
according to tests made by the labor
atory On wood infested with them, any
kiln-drying process which can be con-
sidered practical for seasoning ash
of any thickness will put an end to
the borers.

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
Worlds Greatest Scourge, the
Plague of Leprosy.

The news from Hawaii indicates
that science has al last found the sure
and systematic way to the cure of this
worlds most appalling disease. OF the
142 former leperS who have been pa
rolled from the Kalhi hospital in the
last two years none has been sent
back.
1t is peculiar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries, and probably much longer.
Of the oldest remedies ever used for
it. To modern science is due the dis
covery of the bacillus of leprosy, but
Its cure is accomplished with refined
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers in the East for centuries.
Science has improved on native prac-
tice not only in the oil but in its appli-
cation.
To world which has 100000 lep-
ers the success of the doctors at
Kalili is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set about the cure
of her 100000 stricken. India has
100000 lepers, Japan 10000. And the
United States has had big leper prob
lem which the developments in Hawaii
should soon solve. While the cases Of
leprosy in the continental United
States are few-perhaps not 3QA-we
have thousands of lepers in our island
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service can go ahead there as
1t has proceeded in Hawaii.

Much Gasoline Wasted.

About one-third of the gasoline used
in automobiles is wasted. This is the
conclusion reached by A. c. Fieldner
of the United States bureau of mines,
from experiments under traffic condi-
lions to determine the air pollution of
the vehicular tunnels under New York
city. The waste is chiefly due to too
rich gasoline mixture. 1t is estimated
that an improved and practically au-
tomato carburetor might save Ameri.
can auotmobilists $34,000,O0O a year.
