Army OF Idle Stunning Marriage be-
Cause of Poverty Says
Noted Hobo.

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.- There
are today in the United States l.
100000 ordinary, everyday men who
can not marry.
And because they can not follow
the natural laws laid out for the
development of the species they de-
terorate in health when youth has
barely passed. They die ten years
sooner than most men. They are re-
moved from normal human contacts
and, if they mingle with average So
ciety, they court arrest. They breed
a sullen bitterness against mankind.
Such is the interesting picture
drawn by James Eads Howe, the
millionaire hobo" of a cross section
of the army of unemployed who de-
generate into tramps.
Howe, one time physician and
member of a wealthy family who
forsook the lap of luxury to mingle
with the down-and-outs and to study
the problems OF unemployment at
first hand, has just completed
nationwide tour and is at present
engaged in organizing the voorhees,
men of the Pacific Coast.
He declares 100000 men are out
of work thruout the nation, altho
the Department of Labor puts it at
about half that figure.
Growing Bitterness.
There is the growing bitterness
have noted, particularly among the
men who fought overseas, and now
al but starve," says Howe, who,
within the past few years has en-
lowed and established three hobo
universities.
THE number of suicides among
these men has been particularly
alarming. | have been engaged in

Eurth's Air Shield
HUMAN ACTIVITIES CONFINED IN SHELL OF AIR

to ascertain the height above
ground at which meteors flash
into visibility on plunging into the
atmosphere. This height is found
to be, on the average, from so
to 100 miles. There are some esti-
mates running up to as much as
136 or 100 miles, but these may
be doubtful.
Prof. c. A. Young thought
that a difference could be observed
between the height at which or.
binary shooting stars" appear and
that at which the more massive
bodies called aerolites or meteor
ties break into incandescence. He
put the former at between so and
70 miles, and the latter as high as
from so to 100.
Outside of the limits wherein
meteoric and auroral phenomena
are observed we are left 10. the
more or less probable results of
conjecture based on the laws of
gases, etc.
Your idea that IL the atmosphere
were only ten or fifteen miles in
height meteors would not take fire
IN passing through 1t is erroneous.
The impact of a meteor upon the
atmospheric shell resembles a
blow, on account of the great aver
age velocity, amounting to about
twenty-six miles per second.
Lord Kelvin showed that. while
the temperature at the surface of
a body moving through air IN.
creases as the square of the We.
locity, its temperature is indie.
pendent OF the density OF the air.
This explains why meteors become
visible so suddenly, and at such
great heights, where the air Is very
rare. So, IL the atmosphere were
only, say fifteen miles deep and
proportionately rare, yet meteors
hitting and penetrating it would be
instantaneously heated to a very
high surface temperature, although
more OF them would probably
reach the ground before being
completely consumed on account
of the shorter flight, for the total
amount Of heat developed per unit
OF time would be less than in a
deeper and denser atmosphere, al
though the intensity would be the
same, depending only on the We.
locity.

OBJECTS OF
FIRST AID
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

TIME object Of first aid 10 to
sustain a patient and make
him as comfortable as may
be until the arrival of the doctor.
TIE one who applies first aid
should think Of himself in the
light OF a temporary nurse.
There In one internal and one
external remedy which are about
all that need to be on hand for
first aid, so far as medicines are
concerned. One Is aromatic spir.
its of ammonia and the other is
tincture OF iodine.
Aromatic spirits OF ammonia Is
used for weakness due to sickness
or exhaustion, for fainting. and
for the depression following in
juries. The average dose for an
adult IL thirty drops, well diluted
with water.
Tincture Of iodine Is applied to
cuts, bruises and sprains. 1t
kills the germs which are on and
In the sink around q wound and
also destroys those that are In
the wound, thus preventing blood
poisoning or infection and pus at
the site OF the wound. II acts
best In the absence OF watery
moisture, and II is therefore well
not to wash wounds in order to
remove dirt, etc, until the sur
geon takes charge OF the case.
Before bandaging the part the
iodine solution should be allowed
TO evaporate, so as to minimize
its causitc effect.
In the case OF serious injuries
place the patients in as comfort
able a position as possible and
do nothing but protect the in
jured parts with clean sheets
or towels until the arrival Of the
doctor.
II bleeding Is too active to dis
regard, however, q clean compress
may be applied after thorough
cleansing OF ones hands, and d.
rect pressure exerted either with
the fingers or by firm bandaging.
