How New Cotton Picker Works.

A great many elaborate devices have
been invented for the purpose Of as.
sisting the cotton picker in the gather.
Ing of the boil from the plant. But
what Is probably the simplest of all
has been recently invented, consisting
Of piece of flexible metal that is adj.
Unstable to fit the finger. 1t fits Sc.
curely over the first joint of the finger,
one to each finger. On the inside II
has five small cleats to give tenacity.
Experienced pickers declare that with
a set of these pickers they increase
their capacity from 20 to 80 per cent.
The inventor is A. A. Ross of Okla.
homa City, practical cotton picker
himself. In addition to increasing the
capacity of the worker, It also pre-
vents pricking Of fingers on cotton
burs, frequent and trying accom-.
paniment Of cotton picking under the
usual procedure.

CALLED CURSE OF SCOTLAND
Why the Nine Of Diamonds Got Bad
Reputation In That Country
ls Uncertain.

II appears to have been with the
family Of the earl of Stair that the
nine Of diamonds got the name of
"The Curse Of Scotland" On their
armorial coat can be seen the nine
lOZenges.
1t was also said that the curse of
Scotland referred to the belief that
every ninth king Of Scotland was a
curse to his country. But on looking
up the history Of the earl of Stair 1t is
found that he is the eldest son Of
James Dalrymple, Viscount Stair, the
president of the court of sessions in
Scotland and the greatest lawyer the
country has produced.
This first earl, as Sir John Dali
rymple. was one Of the persons Of i'm,
portance chosen to offer the crown of
Scotland to William and Mary at the
revolution. AS secretary of state he
was the prime instrument In causing
the massacre of Glencoe, which GOV.
cred his name with infamy, and did
not leave that Of his royal master I'm.
furnished.
He was largely instrumental In
bringing about the union Of Scotland
with England, though he did not live
to see this effected, dying on January
8, 17O7.

IMPRESSED ON BRAIN CELLS
Almost lnnumerabIe Records Are
Made During the Lifetime Of
the Ordinary Individual.

1t is generally computed by scien-
lists that one-third of second is re-
quired to produce an impression" on
the human brain, and the brain is
constantly receiving and recording I'M
pressiOns during every waking mo-
ment of a persons life. Therefore,
assuming that he has slept one-third
of the time, q man of fifty years has
recorded In his brain cells no less
than 1856, 100000 separate impress
sions. These impressions are as per-
manent as photographs, and not one
is ever lost, though It may be mis-
placed, SO to speak, and that Is all
that happens when something Is for
gotten" The impression is safe
enough in the brain, II one could only
put his hands on 1t. Poor memory
is simply the result Of bad filing
system.
The average weight Of the male
brain is 4911 ounces and Of the female
A ounces. The woman's brain has a
higher specific gravity. The man has
a large brain In proportion to stature,
but woman's brain Is larger In proper
ton to her weight. The difference be-
tween the weight Of brain in man
and. woman is much more marked
among civilized than among primitive
races, and is most marked In the eau
casian race. The female brain begins
to lose weight after the age Of thirty,
but that Of a man does not do so I'M
til ten or fifteen years later. The loss
in woman Is very slight, however, and
she keeps up high brain weight
much later-until seventy-than does
a man, so that In old age the differ
ence In weight is reduced to its min
imum, which Is q little over three
ounces.
When a brain falls to weight Of
371k ounces In man or 32h ounces In
a woman 1t is called microcephalic,
and the general rule is that below
these limits idiocy exists. There IT,
therefore, just five ounces less amount
of brain matter needed to keep a wom-
an from ldiocy than Is needed for a
man. The clear inference Is, there
fore, that the woman's 44-ounce brain
Is quite as good as the mans brain.

are volunteers serving with a high
purpose, and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet it.
They have had their opportunity to
withdraw with honor from the field of
famine and desolation. They have re-
fused to leave, because they know that
their departure would mean death for
tens Of thousands Of women and chill
dren whom their efforts have kept
alive and whom they are determined
to save for better future.
A dozen cables are on my desk from
various centers in Armenia, Anatolla,
Cilicia and Syria pleading piteously
for the lives Of hundreds Of thousands
who are homeless: "Sixty-five thou
sand refugees Constantinople alone"
Refugees flocking into Aleppo;"
"Twenty thousand refugees at Ismid;"
Zone hundred thousand people at
is provided :" Refugees arriving from
Caucasus escaping persecution, naked,
destitute Urgent need to save most
of them from death ;" 1.-TWO hundred
thousand starving between Kars and
Alexandropol Severe winter adding
to Distress"
Above all towers the mute appeal Of
the more than 100000 little children,
orphaned, homeless, whom these Amer
lean relief workers have saved and
whom we here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and
autumn as well. If we do not provide,
they perish! And with them dies the
hope Of a New Near East.
The Easter season is here-the sea-
son that commentaries the Great Sac
rifice for mankind. America is known
as a Christian nation. She Is also the
wealthiest nation that history has ever
known.
Can we really enjoy our wealth and
claim the name of Christian if we turn
a deaf ear to the appeal which General
Leonard Wood, in behalf of the Near
East Relief, has sent forth broadcast
for Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save
these little children in Bible Lands?
