Berlin Womon's Club
Has Interesting Session

When asked of an eminent sociolo-
gist how to estimate the progress of
town or community, he answered:
"Tell me of it's Women's Clubs, for
their activities is one of the present
day measures of progressiveness."
Judged by this standard, Berlin has
reason to be proud of it's Woman's
Club.
A vacation from active work will be
taken for the remainder of July and
August, but, "Lest we forget" a
number Of its members will keep OPP
en- house Thursday evenings, at the
club rooms and keep alive that spirit
Of community helpfulness for which
The club was organized.
The patriotic program of July LIST
was very interesting and fitting con-
illusion to the years work. The de-
late, whether Woman's Advent in
Politics Would Lower Taxes" was
most ably presented both for and
against by Madames George Henry
and Harry pufnel and as may be
imagined the discussion following was
lively. A humorous reading on "The
Fourth of July in Jonesville" was
finely rendered by Mrs. w. A. Bre-
ward, president of the club. Miss
Franklin had fine paper on the orr
gin and early days of our flag, also
sketch Francis Scott Key, which
with Mrs. Hardesty's beautiful read
ing on the flag gave many patriotic
thrills.

DEMPSEY STILL
THE CHAMPION
Knocks Carpenter Out In Fourth
Round In Great Battle AT
Jersey City.

In the great Dempsey-Carpentier
fight staged at Jersey City, N. j., on
Saturday last, July the I'd, Dempsey
knocked his opponent out in the 4th
round and by so doing retains the
championship. The scrap was wit
messed by one of the largest audienc-
es ever assembled at such an enter
prise and the receipts were almost
beyond the reach of reason.
Carpenter went down with his
head up and his fists flying. He bled
and fought to the end, which came
in the fourth round, when Dempsey
hit him first with a right hook to the
jaw then left hook above the heart.
Both blows were short.
Once in the second round the
Frenchman was within punch of
the championship. His long, straight
right hit Dempsey flush and fair up
on the chin. The bigger man went
back upon his heels. His hands
dropped to his side. He was a tar
get. Carpenter put all his strength
into a right uppercut and missed
Dempsey was swaying just a little
and Carpenter was too eager to hit
a moving-target.
During all the rest of the fight
Dempsey was on top. He kept close
From this vantage his superior
weight and strength told enormously
Size seemed the deciding factor in
the battle.
We know that additionally the
Jacks and the Davids bring down
their giants, but in those days there
was no infghting. David kept out
of the clinches. In actual figures
Jack Dempsey had an advantage of
only 16 pounds and aninch and half
in height. 1t looked like much more.
Every time the men came together
it was evident that Dempsey could
move the challenger about as he
pleased. He punished him fearfully
whenever they came to grips. Car
pentier's very gallantry was handi-
cap. He would not stay away and
make running fight. The first lead
was his and again and again he hurl-
ed himself at the champion.
Even in the third and fourth
rounds, when it was evident that
Carpenters strength was being ham,
mered away, he kept throwing
punches.
Messrs. d. C. Armstrong and C.
L. Mason, ofthis city, were present
to witness the bout andthey report a
pleasant and enjoyable trip.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
4poLTRooN."

A I THE time of the drafts
"A during the Civil war and
the World war there were few
men who attempted to avoid
compulsory military service by
cutting off their trigger or first
finger, arguing that this would
prevent their being mustered in
to the army. On no less an au-
.thority than Archbishop Trench,
deep student of English, we
find that a similar practice was
responsible for the Introduction
into the language of the word
''poltroon" as synonym for ar
rant coward.
"In olden times" states the
archbishop, "a self-mutilation of
this description was not infre-
quent on the part of some cow
ardly Sinking fellow who wished
to escape his share in the de-
Tense of his country. He would
cut off his right thumb, become
incapable of drawing bow and
thus useless for the wars. 1t
was not to he wondered at that
Englishmen should have looked
with extreme disdain upon one
who had so basely exempted
himself from service nor that
the Latin phrase police truncus'
zone deprived of his thumb
later shortened to the two-syl-
Tabled 'poltroon," should after
ward have become a name of
scorn affixed to every base and
cowardly evader of the duties
and dangers of life"

CODES OF LAW.

THE earliest attempt at codifying
L laws was the famous code Of
Hammurabb, about 1000 B. G. This
antedated even the Commandments
given by Moses. 1t was very complete,
covering nearly every contingency.
The Greeks and Romans had codified
laws, the most famous being the Julian
and Aughstan codes. The Napoleohic
code, famous in It's time, still survives
at the present day.

for the children she is giving a
home, and the greater gift Of moth
erly care aand love.
You Don't Own Her.
Come, come, Violet, I'm ashamed
OF youl Are you sure there is no
hint of the green-eyed monster in
your attitude to what you call your
"fad-ridden nother?" Perhaps you
demand more Of her attention than
you need, and probably you are not
only jealous but greedy to have
saved for you all the money being
expended upon the poor orphans
your mother is helping.
1 hope this isn't the case. for I
think it is the height Of meanness
for a young. strong woman to try TO
limit the usefulness Of her parents
In any way-out of regard for her
own future. You have a home of
your own and a husband-and the
two of you ought to be independent.
And there should be an end Of crit
icism of the mother who loves you
so much and does so much 10 make
the world better and her own life
one of usefulness as well as happi-
ness.
Get it well into your head, Violet,
that you don't own your mother.
No human being should be under
the dominion of another. The
complete freedom OF the individual
is the best thing for society. especi-
ally when the individual is full Of
goodness and active helpfulness.
1t would not hurt you TO make
your mother a fad" She certainly
is worth attention and admiration.
and if you can learn to be something
like her-well the sooner you begin,
the better.
There are worse things than fads,
especially the kind of fads you com
plain Of Open your mind, Violet,
AMI be a pupil again Of the mother
who bore you-and not an acrid,
narrow minded critic.

Floating spots before the eyes,
is the description given an annoying
symptom complained Of by lots Of
folks.
Such spots take all sorts Of shapes.
They may be dixie hairs. or like cob
webs or they may be a multitude
Of many shapes and sizes.
AS the eye is moved the spots
move. A given spot may be just to
one side Of the center of vision. When
you attempt 10 look directly at II,
IL moves away. The quicker your
glance. the more rapidly the spot
escapes.
This popularity has given TO the
condition the name, "muscae Volt
tantcs." meaning running mice" If
YOU have ever had this trouble you
Will appreciate how we'll chosen the
name is, because as they rsn across
the sky, or the ceiling. or any other
bright background. the spots look
exactly like a lot OF scampering mice.
These specks are Of little conse-
quence except TO me- . Gus persons.
They are much annoyed. and bitter
~ complain of the interference with
reading and writing caused by these
floating spots. AS they walk along
a glowing cement sidewalk, such per-
sons are watching the floating bod
les. They imagine the trouble is
growing worse and that certainly 1t
must lead TO blindness.
OF course, there are interferences
with vision which do mean some
thing For instance, in the begin
ming Of cataract, there are Opacities
in the crystalline lens OF the eye
Such opacities interfere with vision
exactly as an ink splash or a piece
Of mud on one Of the lenses of your
spectacles interferes with perfect
sight
As the cataract grows. there is
gradual dimming Of the vision and
ultimately il is impossible to dis
tinguish the outlines Of any object.
The difference between light and
darkness can always be discerned.
In certain diseases, too, there is an
exudate. or infammatory material.
or blood thrown out into the vitre-
Gus OF the eye.
The vftreous is the fluid filling the
back chamber OF the eye. In health
it is perfectly clear and transparent.
II blood or exudate flows into the
vitreous IL soils II just as mud will
ruin the transparency OF a little lake.
In the trouble called "muscae Volt
tantes" there is no visible changes
in the vi,reous or elsewhere in the
eye. The condition is not organic.
II appears 10 be merely a functional
disturbance. Properly treated. 4
