Most Men Have Defects.

If the man who measures you for
your next suit calls out IN. r.. r. B."
to the assistant who jots down the
measurements, take care 1t is a
warning that your physique is not all
that it should be-in fact a great deal
less. 1t stands for meek forward,
round back"
"It's the commonest fault in the
physique of our customers" explained
a tailor. ''Most men have fiat chest
and round back. The army straight
ened some of them up for while but
they've begun slumping back again.
About one man in ten has bow legs,
the bow running from IL to inches.
Practically every mans shoulders are
uneven-one higher than the other.
But that's so common that you
wouldn't call it a defect.
Here's another thing I've noticed.
All the athletes, the professional
strong men, have sloping shoulders.
The fellow with the straight, heavy
shoulders whom you'd take for an
athlete usually isn't."-Milwaukee

CITES EARTH'S IA MOVEMENTS
Flammarion, French Astronomer, Emu
merates Various Activities Of Globe
During Its Travels.

The fact that our earth in Its voyage
through space has no fewer than four
teen distinct movements has been
pointed out by the French astronomer
and scientist, Camille Flammarion, ac-
cOrding to an article In the Paris
Temps. These are as follows:
daily rotation, annual revolution,
fluctuation or rocking due to the pre-
cesson of the equinoxeS in period of
%, 1916 years, monthly movement of the
earth around the center of gravity
of the earth-moon couple; mutation
caused by the attraction Of the moon
every eighteen and a half years; varia-
tion, coming once every century, of
the Obliquity of the ecliptic; variations
every century of the eccentricty of the
terrestrial orbit; displacement of the
line Of apses every 21,00O years; dis
turbances caused by the constantly
changing attraction Of the planets dis
placement of the center of gravity OF
the solar system around which the

tions Of the planets; perpetual varia-
ton of ATTITUDES; daily tides of the
continental soil; displacement of the
whole Milky Way, of which our sun
Is one star, toward the constellation
of Capricorn, at the formidable speed
of 375 miles per second, or 1,250,000
miles per hour"

vaccinatina Sugar Cane.

The vaccination or incubation OF
plants in the bitterly waged fight
against their diseases will appeal as
a novel idea to many who have al
ways thought Of the method in con-
nection with the prevention Of human
and animal maladies only. A measure
Of success has attended it's use by tie
office Of foreign seed and plant intro.
duction, Washington D. c., reports
Popular Mechanics, in the evolution
of variety of sugar cane which will
be immune to the commoner forms
of disease peculiar to the plant, and
especially the so-called mosaic dis
ease, which has recently made it's APP
pearance on the sugar plantations.
Seedlings from the inoculated speci-
mems will be tested for immunity, and
if the experiment is the success 1t
is hoped it will be it is thought that
a practically disease-proOf variety Of
plant will be evolved

WHAT IT v VOLCANOES CA. THROW UP
Water, Dust, Mud, Punnlee, Glass and
Granite Among Products Of the
Rumblers.

A volcano-let us say Stromboll,
which very frequently makes Il lot OF
trouble-ejects materials OF various
kinds
One Of these Is water. II Is the
last thing we should expect burning
mountain to produce, but, as mat
ter Of fact, volcanoes vomit enormous
quantities Of water, formed by the
cooling and consequent condensation
Of gases rising through the vent pipe.
Volcanic dust, thrown high into the
air during an eruption, is so finely d.
vided that much OF 1t will float in the
upper levels Of the atmosphere for
years. Its particles seem mostly to be
minute bubbles, hollow inside.
Together with water, volcanoes emit
vast quantities Of mud, which, hard
ening into rock, form what is called
"tuff''-a friable material which In
parts of our own West covers great
areas to depth Of thousands Of feet.
A familiar volcanic product Is pum-
Ice, WHICH ~ 50 pOlOuS' anu 'hSA
so light in weight, that 1t will float on
water. Another is obsidian, or "vol-
canic glass" a substance OF the same
chemical composition as pumlce, but
extremely hard, being Of high density.
Typical of the "eruptive" rocks, rep
resentlng material thrown up from the
depths, is granite. Such rocks are
practically impervious to water, where
as the sedimentary rocks-sandstones,
limestones and shales-are sufficiently
porous to allow water to percolate
through them. 1t is these sedimentary
rocks that contain the so-called
pools" of petroleum, usually with wa
ter underlying the oil.

To Our Subscribers.
Adjournment.

We wish to call your attention to

car mostly always Judge u county
by the county paper, and without
the support of the subscribers no
paper can succeed.
You may not see anything Of in

but the time may come when you
would be willing to pay for a years
subscription for only few issues.
We are also handicapped by a
a little Indebtedness on our plant
but with your hearty corporation
we can clear this and feel free to
improve the paper in many ways
that are beyond us just now, be
cause of lack of capital.
We feel sure that you will appre-
ciate our efforts in behalf Of the
county and it's citizens and will re-
nit this small amount at an early
date.

chaIeur Ravs dire Ship"

According to Investigations OF Pro-
fessor Ganong, the traditional fire
ship" of Chaleur bay, New Brunswick,
appearing usually before a storm, has
a basis of fact. It is a hemispherical
light, with the fiat side toward the
water, glowing sometimes without
much change OF form, but at other
times rising into slender, moving col
umns, in which an excited Imagination
might recognize the flaming rigging OF
a ship.
The general explanation offered Is
that this object is a manifestation Of
st. Elmo's fire, an electrical phe-
nomenon, but the reason for it's ap-
pearance only on or near Chaleur bay
is not known.

In Old Castle, rich in the romance
and legends of Sunny Spain, Burgos,
the capital Of the ancient kingdom,
has lost none Of its picturesque charm
in the centuries since the days when
Ell Cid drew his sword in rebellion
against the Moors. Burgos, partially
depopulated, but still clinging to Its
traditions as all good Spanish cities
will, glories chiefly in the aura Of the
mighty Cid and in the possession Of
the historic Gothic cathedral, liveliest
in all the kingdom, writes Charlotte
Jordon in the New York Times.
The ancient cathedral, founded in
1921, recently celebrated its seven
hundredth birthday by enshrining in
its nave the remains Of the national
idol, El Cid, the hero Of Castle, about
whom time has woven many legends.

NATURES way WITH PESTS
One Destructive Insect ls Used to Fight
Another; Each Capable Of
Useful Work.

You recall the old nursery rhyme,
This Is the house that Jack builtT
The story of Natures warfare runs on
very much the same lines. This Is
the fox that ate the squirrel that stole
the eggs OF the maybe that killed the
sparrow that devoured the iy that
destroyed the caterpillar that spoilt
the cabbage that grew in the house
that Jack built!
Nature uses one pest to fight another.
Each of the creatures mentioned is
pest; yet each is capable Of useful
work.
Moths and butterflies lay hundreds
of eggs at time, so that If nothing
preyed on caterpillars we should soon
have not a single green leaf in the
country. But we must have moths
and butterflies to fertilize flowers. The
chief foe of the caterpillar is the
ichneumon-fly, which lays eggs in him
as he crawls on a leaf. These eggs
hatch into grubs and kill the cater
pillar,
The ichneumOn-ny is eaten by small
birds which do useful work in this
way though in other ways they are
pests, for they eat the farmers corn.
They are kept in check by cuckoos,
hawks, crows, and magpies These
birds of prey, if their growth was I'M
checked, would soon kill all the game
in the country. Squirrels and other
birds keep them down by stealing their
eggs. Squirrels are preyed upon by
foxes, which, as we have no wild
beasts in this country, must be kept
in check by man.

How France is Repopulatina.

Vital statistics show that the birth
rate increased in France in 1920. At
Marseilles. for the first time In years,
the number Of births greatly exceed
ed the number of deaths. At Chalons-
sur-Saone the total Of births for the
wear was $50 and that Of deaths, 81.
Tn Toulon the number Of births ex-
ceeded by 118 that Of deaths, some
thing that has not happened for 30
wears. From Orleans satisfactory
figures also have been communicated,
and at Dieppe the number OF births
exceeded by 80 per cent the number
of deaths.

FINDS CURE FOR BLEEDERS
Paris Physician Successful in Treating
Disease With Use of Blood
From the Horse.

"Bleeders," as they are called, gen.
orally come of families with history
of bleeding. Such sufferers are rare
ly cured. But DIR. =. Emile-Wefl Of
Paris reports in a bulletin of the
Societe Medicale DIES HOpitaux the sue
cess he has had with his treatment OF
the disease, which is called hemophilia
He relates the case of child OF
seven, a pronounced bleeder, belong
ing to one of the classic bleeder fami-
lies that have been written up in
medical annals since the Eighteenth
century. He gave the boy an injec-
ton of 20 cubic centmetres of normal
horse serum-that is, horses blood
with the corpuscles extracted-every
second month until fifteen injections
had been given. The tendency to
hemorrhage seemed to be arrested,
and after seven years there has been
no sign of it's recurrence.
Previous to this Doctor We'll had
treated seven cases of familiar hemo-
philia with such injections, all of them
successfully, but he never regarded a
case as wholly cured until that of this
boy. But the fact that he has been
free from bleeding for seven years In
dicates at least that this disease Is
durable.

stead of dsmissing him, picked up II

II was ReddinG's twenty-ninth birth

happiness. When he appeared later

him that the city never fails to recog-

Redding joined the force eighteen
months ago, and in the course of one
night arrested nine highwaymen ana
burglars. All were convicted later.
