TIGHT WRIST WATCH WARNING
Has Been Traced to the Pres
sure on Nerves.

BE careful not TO bind the strap OF
your wrist watch too tight. Several
cases of neuritis in the fingers and
hands has been traced to this cause.
DIR. John 5. Stopford tells. in the Ian
Get of student who experienced tin
Cling pains along the inner borders of
the hand and in the little finger. These
had persisted for some time and caused
discomfort and anxiety. On examina-
ton a tender point was discovered on
the dorsal surface of the styloid proc
ess of the ulna. and pressure in this
situation caused pain to radlate from
this point into the dorsal cutaneous
branch of the ulnar nerve. There was
no sign of paresis or atrophy OF any
of the intrinsic muscles Of the hand,
nor were any trophic changes found.
On investigating a cause for this To-
Called neuritis the only possibility
appeared to be the wearing of tight
wristlet watch, which clearly could
produce compression of the dorsal GU
taneous branch of the ulnar nerve as
II curved round the lower extremity
OF the ulna. On discardng the wrist
let the discomfort gradually disap-
peared.

POSSIBLE LIFE ON PLANETS
Existence on Moon, Jupiter, Saturn,
Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, I'M
probable, Scientists Say.

The possible existence of life on the
planets has lately been discussed in Il
most interesting manner by American
astronomers. This is summary of
the conclusions of these scientists up
on the question 1t is considered that
the existence of a high form of life
on the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mer-
curry. Uranus or Neptune is extremely
improbable. Although Venus greatly
resembles the earth, it Is generally be-
lieved by astronomers that the day
and the year of the planet are of equal
duration. In that case no life can
exist upon it, Concerning Mars, astron-
omers are not agreed as to whether
the much-discussed markings are ca
nails or merely earthquake cracks.
There are no permanent bodies of wa
ter on the planet. The best that can
be said is that, although the temporal
ture on Mars is very low, there may
be on the planet, to a limited extent,
the conditions essential to life; prob
ably only vegetable and low-order ami
nal life, but no beings of intelligence.

STRATEGY OF LEE EMPLOYED
Marshal Foeh Says II General Was
Traitor He Wishes France Had
More of Them.

1t Is hardly to be wondered ct that
the greatest soldier of the Twentieth
century should take occasion to pay
his tribute of admiration and affection
TO the memory of one of the really
great commanders OF modern times. a
soldier whose military genius was
equaled only by the purity of his pur-
pose and the splendor of his charac-
ter, says the Louisville Courier-J our
nal
Soldier-like, Marshal Foch employs
few words in answering the anony-
nous american Patriot" who had
telegraphed him at Virginia town
that Robert Il. Lee was a traitor.
IF Gen. Robert Il. Lee was trail
tor" said the marshal of France. ma
poleon Bonaparte was coward. If
General Lee was traitor, | wish
France had more of them. He was
one of the greatest military leaders
the world has ever known"
In winning the World war, Ferdln-
and Foch leaned heavily upon the
shoulder of Robert f. Lee. 1t was
"tbe sword of Lee that flashed on
every battlefield in France from the
first battle of the Marine to Armistice
day.
Lees strategy, revived and employed
first by Joffre and later by Foch, held
the Hun along the French front, swift
to attack again, until at length the
Hlndenburg line was pierced and the
enemies of civilization sued for peace.
In his estimate of Lee, Marshal
Foch takes his stand beside Viscount
Wolseley, of England, who declared
that Lee was "the greatest soldier
given to the world since the days of
Marlborough"

IN THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Trader and Planter Not in Need Of
Pity. According to Writer in the
Asia Magazine.

1t is customary to waste a lot of
pity on the trader and the planter in
remote places-lonely outposts of
civilization--but. from my observa-
ton, they do not need pity, declares
writer in Asia Magazine. The man
who stays in the islands is fitted for
life there; if he isn't, he doesn't stay,
and, If he does stay, he can retire at
ter 10 or 20 years. with a tidy for
tune
OF course. the road to fortune Is a
long and hard one The average
planter starts out with a little capital
say $500. He purchases a plot of
land. The price he pays depends upon
the locality in which he buys. In re-
gions where the natives are still fair
~ unsophisticated he may get his
land for almost nothing. Even where
the natives are most astute, he can buy
a square mile for what he would pay
for an acre back home. His next
step is to get his land cleared To
that end he buys a whaleboat and
goes out to recruit natives to act as
laborers He needs five or six blacks
They will build his house and clear
his land and plant his coconuts. Since
it takes seven years for the coconuts
to mature. sweet potatoes and cotton
must be planted between the rows
of trees. The sweet potatoes, with
little rice, viii furnish all the food
required by the blacks. The cotton,
If the planter is diligent and lucky,
will pay current expenses until the
coconuts begin bearing.
Though his small capital of $500
may be eaten up early in the game,
the settler need not despair. The big
trading companies that do business
in the islands, will see him through
if he shows any signs of being made
OF the right stuff They will give him
credit for food and supplies, and they
will provide him with knives, calico
and tobacco, which he can barter with
the blacks for the sandal-wood and
copra that will help balance his ac-
count with the companies. And after
the first trying seven years his troubles
are about over-if he can get labor
enough to keep his plantation going.

Train Insects to Eat Insects.

An ingenious scheme for Kidding our
gardens of insect pests has been .sug-
gested by Richmond entomologist.
His plan is to train harmless insects
to kill and eat injurious grubs and
flies. Experiments which have been
made met with considerable success,
1t is well known that certain insects
are the enemies of other creatures
which are garden pests. They lay
their eggs in convenient spots, often
In the actual nesting places of their
enemies, and when the young come
TO life they feed on the eggs. Scien-
lists are attempting to train these In
sects to feed upon harmful creatures
which at present they do not regard
as enemies.-London Tit-Bits.

Dropping PRICES
IN LOCAL MARKET
Pennsy's May Net Increase OF
$2,696, $50 Despite Coal
Strike

For the first time in a number OF
weeks the local market developed an
unmistaknble dropping tendency. This
could be partly attributed to the un-
settled condition Of the New York
market. Also to n general indisposition
to make new speculative commitments
pending the settlement Of some Of the
big problems now confronting the gen.
cral situation, and also partly as a
result of the adjustment incidental to
the approaching holiday and the vaca-
ton season. .,
There was no great amount of SELL
ing, but the market, as whole, was
soft and in number of instances was
found to be quite thin. In the ma.
jority Of the purely local shares trad
ing was of small dimensions. In others
there was plain liquidation. probably
representing over extended speculatea
accounts which may have been impaired
by the recent shake. down on the big
board. As to the stocks having dual
market here and New York, Of course,
the movement was entirely lacking OF
local coloring. being merely an align.
ment with the current quotation OF
the big board.
Among the local shares the further
drop in American Stores to 117A came
in for the most attention. mainly be-
cause of the recent stendiness Of the
stock in face Of the rcactionary currents
which have slowly been gathering force.
The record high price for the stock Is
124%. reached few weeks ago. or
Just prior to the dividend period. so

| Pennsylvania Railroad remained one
of the firmcst spots on the list. The

with the men over wages and other
disputes continued sustaining in
fiuence. The stock was also strength
cncd by the favorable May statement.
showing an increase of $2.6oG,500 in

overcoming decrease of 81, ,415 ,S02 in

MARKET DISPLAYED
DOWNWARD TREND
Vulnerable Position Of the Oil
Group Invited Selling for
Both Accounts

New York. June 20..-It is doubtful
whether fears entertained concerning
the threatened walkout of the railroad
shop men had any connection with the
moderate liQuidating wave the general
market encountered today. Technical!
conditions un0ucStionably were more
responsible. There was in all events
every evidence of liquidation i'll different
parts of the list. this being most con-
NpiCuous in the petroleum group. lhiS
altogether was logical development In
view of the recent adroit manipulation
Of those shares. The tendency of the
market. in consequence. was reaction
alv during the greater part of the scS-
sion. Dullncss followed the declines,
hut the market showed little rallying
rover.
There was an npprcCiablc increase Of
activity during the morning, but this
was entirely at the expense OF values.
The sinking spell was surprising to some
extent because OF the somewhat more
hopeful aspect of the coal strike situa-
ton overnight, as result of President
llarding's summons of the coal opera
tors and the union chiefs. Some eiIort
was made to bolster up the market by
the bidding up of few highly manipu-

reason a good many apparently found Ii
compulsory or convenient to tighten

The group was found to be in vul-
ncrnblc position as the 'shorts' In
the whole petroleum division had taken
