Keep the Baby Quiet at NIaht.

Getting up in the night to quiet an
uneasy baby is not the joke that some
comic writer's represent it to be. a
young husband discovered this in case
of his frst-born and the means he
took to overcome the difficulty won
him a prize in contest in new uses
for electricity.
The only means Of quieting this
baby, who was ailing, was to move
him up and down, gently. In, the low
er part of the crib the father fastened
the motor Of a discarded electric fan.
From a small pulley on the motor he
ran a belt to larger pulley on a
short shaft, at the other end of which
he rigged a crank. Then he extended
connecting rod to the center Of the
frame that supported the springs and
mattress.
The motor, when started, moved
springs, mattre $ and baby up and
down about an inch, smoothly, gently
and regularly II proved entirely sat

one year old, healthy and happy, and
ne has never got his parents out Of

HIGH VALUE OF SAND BATHS
From Findings of Danish Medical
Men, 1t Would Seem Their Impor-
tance Is Underestimated.

From the earliest history Of man
baths of hot sand have been used
to relieve bone and joint disease, es-
pecially gout and rheumatism. Faber
and Plum, in a Danish medical jour
nal, tabulate the findings during and
after the sand bath in a number Of
cases as regards the pulse, respiration,
temperature at different points of the
body and the blood pressure, urine
and changes in weight as well as the
effect on the patholOgiC condition.
Their conclusions are to the effect
that the hot sand bath seems to com
bine with the benefit from the heat
reducing pain and stimulating local
circulation-a direct action on the
muscles from the weight Of the sand.
This relaXes the muscle and tends to
break up the various circles Of pain and
muscle contraction. This relaxing ef-
feet on the muscles from the sheer
weight of the sand has been over
looked before, they think, but they
regard 1t as an important factor in
the effect, promoting resorption as
well as combating the possibly unsus-
pected hypertonia in the muscles. An
other advantage of sand baths is that
they can be graduated with precision

only contraindications are febrile dis
eases, valvular defects, great instability
of the circulation, and possibly anemia

Violin Strings.

Each string in violin is Of diff
erent thickness, according to the tone
and tension required. The fourth
string IS covered with fine wire, either
u white metal or real silver, hence
it is often called the "sllver string"
Violas, violoncellos and double-basses
have each two covered strings, the
object being to insure a sufficient
gravity of tone without having too
clumsy a material. The covered
strings on the guitar are upon a basis
Of silk instead Of catgut. The best
gut comes from Italy, which has been
famous for centuries for this prod
uct. Strings are carefully selected and
graded as to size so that they shall be
uniform. The larger strings for the
bigger instruments are stretched on
frames for three or four days. The
covered strings are finished on a spe-
cial lathe which covers them with
floss silk or fine silver-plated copper
wire, or even silver.-Scientlfic Ameri-

When the newly elected Republican
Congress was convened F-oecial ses-
sion April IL, 1921, the nj j was still
legally at war with the Central Bowers
of Europe and the domestic problems
confronting the country were of great
or magnitude than any previous ad.
m1nistration in the history of the
United States had ever been called
upon to solve.
The President and the Congress had
. well-defned program of rehabilita-
tion and reconStYuction. In his address
opening the special session of Con.
gress the President asked the pas
sage OF resolution declaring a state
OF peace between the United States
and the Central Powers. He urged, in
addition. the enactment of an emer-
gency tariff, permanent tariff, the
creation Of budget system; legisla-
tion providing relief to agricultural in

of public highways. 1t enacted law
for the protection of American owned
cable and radio service. 1t enacted
new tax measure, which reduces the
public taxation for the current year in
the sum of $S18, 100000, the bulk of
which is saved to the man of medium

In addition to enacting the Budget
Law creating the Budget Bureau, un-
der which all economies which have
been made by executive departments
were made possible, the Congress,
upon its own initiative, cut over $780,
100000 from appropriations requested
by various departments and boards,
thus carrying out the Presidents de.
sire for rigid economy.
In addition to carrying out the Pres
ident's program it enacted a restrictive
immigration law. 1t amended the
Edge Act in order to facilitate Amer
ica's foreign trade. 1t reorganized the
Philippine financial system in order to
save the islands from bankruptcy as
result of maladministration under
the Wilson regime. II reorganized the
Indian Bureau and reorganized the
Postal Service and readjusted salaries
in that department In flIifllment Of
the Presidents request, the House
passed a permanent tariff measure
the Fordney Bill. The House also
passed the Dyer Bill, which makes
lynching federal offense and provides
for federal punishment OF that crime
In his annual message to Congress
in December, the President made sup
Elementary recommendations, among
them being the enactment of CO.
operative marketing law; the appro-
priation of funds to relieve the famine
in Russia; the creation of a commits
sion to handle the refunding of our
foreign loans; and the enactment Of
legislation to stop the issuance of tax
exempt securities.
Every one of these recommendation
has been enacted into law with the
exception of the one regarding the is
suance Of non-taxable securities and a
bill to carry that recommendation into
effect is now well on its way through
Congress.
This record shows that the House
co-operated with the President exact
ly 100 per cent in enacting such leg
islation as he recommended-a record
Of cooperation between the executive
and legislative branches of Congress
which has no equal in the annals Of

ON APPROPRIATIONS

Any one who has followed the con
duct of the Government since Mr..
Harding's induction into the presi-
dency must marvel at the rapidity
with which the cost of government has
been reduced. 1t is the constant aim
Of the administrative and legislative
branches of the government, all in con-
troll of the Republican Party, to ad-
minister the affairs Of the Government
on a strictly business basis, e1pend-
ing not single dollar for any purpose
not essential to the Nations needs.
The one thing on which all are agreed
is rigid economy in Government ex-
penditure, and nothing can more forci-
bly, portray the story Of accomplish
ment achieved in this direction than
the statement that costs have been
reduced to the extent above indicated.
One billion, hve hundred and seven
teen million have been expended on
the care Of the wounded and sick sol
diers OF the World War up to Febru-
ary 1st, last, indicating that nothing
has been left undone to provide for
the care and comfort of the men who
gave themselves to the country in its
hour of need.
The country is to be congratulated
on having Mr. Harding in the pres1-
dency. The problems handed down to
him from the war complicated though
they are, have been solved in the in,
terest Of the people. He has had the
vision to see, the patriotism to do, and
the courage and ability to achieve. His
devotion to the Nations needs has
been the admiration of all who have
watched him. He has been Jealous.
painstaking, patriotic, untiring and un-
selfish, and he has had and will have
the hearty cooperation of the Con
gress in his efforts to put the country
on a stable basis. Nineteen hundred
and twenty-three will find America the
only country in the world living within
its income. The people have reason TO
rejoice al this accomplishment Of their
President and their Congress.

The Rosetta stone, one of the most
celebrated archaeological discoveries Of
modern times is famous for being the
key whereby the decipherment of the
Egyptian hieroglyphics was made pos
slble. 1t was found in 1899 near Ros-
eta, Egypt, by an officer of engineers
in the French army, which was then
in occupation of that country.
The stone is slab of black basalt,
and bears an inscription in honor Of
Ptolemy Epiphanes, written in three
ages-Greek, demotic and hero
glyphic. As the three inscriptions are
of identical significance, the Greek
made easy the deciphering of the
others.
Until the discovery of the stone
Psychologists had no key to Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics, but since that
time all of Egypt's sculptured litera-
ture has been read with ease and
much valuable information given to
the world.

FINGER PRINTS NEVER CHANGE
Place From Infancy to Ex-
treme Old Age. *,

The use Of finger prints as a means
Of Identification was first made prac-
teal and put into operation by Sir
William Herschel Of the Indian civil
service in the police department Of
Bengal. The lineations Of the thumb
and fingers have, however, attracted
the attention Of scientists for at least
a century.
The ridges and patterns are of four
primary types. First, arches, in which
the ridges run from one side to the
other but make no backward turn;
second, loops, in which some Of the
ridges make a backward turn but
are devoid Of twists; third, whirls,
in which some Of the ridges make q
turn through at least one complete
circuit; and fourth, composite where
two or more Of the first three patterns
are combined in the same imprint
1t has been demonstrated that these
designs persist unchanged in the small
est detail throughout the individuals
life, and that there are no two per-
sons whose imprints are identical. The
design on the fingers of a newborn
infant are, easily recognizable in the
same person in cid age.

The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the conduct of the
Government for the fiscal year 1921
amounted to $6,150, ,000,OOe, and the ap-
preparations made under these esti-
mates by a Republican Congress
amounted to S4,7S9, 100000, showing an
approximate saving in appropriations
for that year of $1,400,000, 900.
The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the fiscal year 1922
were s5,600,000,000, and the approprla-
tions made under these estimates by
a Republican Congress were reduced
to S4,065, 100000, showing an approx
mate saving of s1,6OO,OOO. 900.
The estimates for the fiscal year
1928 submitted by President Harding
amount to $685., 100000, and the ap-
propriations, when completed, will
probably be $500, 900, 900, or $S5S, ,00O,-
600 less than the estimates.
The people of the United States
should understand that for many years
TO come 1t viii not be possible to run
the Government for less than S3,500,-
100000 per annum. This seems like
a very large sum, but when it is real
lied that we have three fixed charges,
consisting of interest on the public
debt, sinking fund, and maintenance
OF the Veterans Bureau, which were
created by the war and amount to ap-
proximately 2,0OO,0O0.00O per annum,
it will be seen that the other expenses
OF the Government have been reduced
by the Republican administration to
s1,5O0,00OO00.
The annual cost of the Government
before the war was $1,250,000,0 1000.
Thus it will be seen that the present
cost, aside from the fixed charges re-
ferred to, is but $25O,0OO,O0O in excess
of pre-war cost, and at least $3.50, ,000,-
600 of this is accounted for by the
normal increase in the business of the
postal service, leaving but s100,000,00
of expense for ordinary purposes in
excess of pre-war costs.

Wise Animals.

A polar bear in q geological park
used to sit on a rocky peninsula that
ran out into water-fiIled quarry.
Visitors were in the habit Of throw
ing buns into the water and some Of
them floated on the surface. 1t was
often easy for the bear to collect half
a dozen by plunging into the pool, but
he soon discovered a more interesting
way to get them. At the edge of the
peninsula it scooped the water gently
with its huge paw and made a current
that brought the buns ashore.
An elephant in another garden used
to collect pennies from visitors. When
it got a penny in its trunk it put it in
the slot of an automatic machine
which delivered up a biscuit. The an
imal rejected every other coin.

account related by an Armenian blsh-
op in 1923 1t has been exploited by
the novelist, the playwright, the poet
and the historian, for it Is q subject
replete with fascinating thrills.
Tales have differed as to the identity
Of the Wandering Jew. One relates
that he was Kartaphilos, a doorkeeper
in the Judgment hall Of Pontius PLATE
who, when the Man of Sorrows was
pasSin. through, struck him, saying,
go on faster Jesus" and the replywss,
Il am going, but thou shall tarry till
l come again" A German legend takes
it up and relates that in the year 1547
the Jew appeared in Hamburg, giving
his name as Ahasuerus, saying that
he had been a shoemaker in Jerusalem
at the time of the cruciixion. When
Jesus paused at his door to rest the
cobbler pushed Him away, bidding
Him leave, TO which the reply was:
Truly l go away and that quickly,
but tarrY thou till I come again"
And this tradition has it that the
condemned man, going from country
to country, speaking all languages,
wandered throughout the centuries.

MONSTERS OF DISTANT PAST.
Proof That Birds Capable Of Lifting
and Carrying Off FuIl-Grown
Men Once Existed. i

Recent scientific discoveries in vari-
Gus parts of the world go to prove that
in times long gone by there were birds
big enough TO lift a man into the air
without difficulty, observes a London
Tit-Bits writer.
it is well known that an eagle with
a five-feet spread of wings can lift
lamb weighing ten pounds, and that a
bird can generally lift One-half more
than its own weight. Many of the
enormous birds of ancient times
weighed many hundreds of pounds,
and some of them had a spread Of
wings which would cover a present
day street car.
There once lived in the Rocky noun
tains of Am, lea a race of parrots
seven feet high One nearly complete
skeleton of this remarkable species
has been preserved, and fragments Of
others have recently been dug up.
These parrots are supposed to have
trodden the earth about 100000
years ago.
Another amazing creature was q
running bird Of prey of the heron FAM
lily. 1t had a head larger than that Of
horse, with a huge sharp beak, and
was eight feet high. Like the parrot,
it could not fly to any height, as its
wings were not large enough to sup
port it.
In the island of Madagascar there
used to be an enormous bird called
the aepyornis. This creature was ten
feet high and laid eggs thirteen inches
. long and three feet in circumference.
1t is supposed to have become extinct
only little more than a century ago.
Although the aepyornis must have
been a sufficiently awe-inspiring sight,
the "giant moa" of New Zealand,
which stood IA feet high and weighed
at least half a ton, must have been
even more so.
