SURELY MEAN MAN
Young Woman Had Her Idea OF
Staten Islander.
All Right to Employ Flashlights In a
Proper Manner, but One Should
Use Discretion.


"Tirefiies in winter!" calculated the
visitor to Staten island. He was gaz-

of stretch of woodland. 1t was
dark night, unlighted by moon, and
yet having that clarity Of atmosphere
that makes even dark night outdoors
so much less dark than a dark room.
Above the figures which he could
dimly descry moving about on the
frozen surface of the pond numbers
Of fireflies seemed to fit. The lights
followed the gyrations Of the skaters,
1t appeared, coming together at times
in groups Of golden points picked out
against the darkness.
st isn't fireflies, it's flashlights" re-
piled the Staten island householder
, who had led group Of Manhattan
visitors through the woods to the
pond. Here on Staten island, where
we're close to nature, we don't patron
lie Kinks, but seek out open-air lakes
and ponds. Flashlights have come to
be part of our necessary skating
equipment because we have to pro-
vide our own lights on secluded ponds

A look of distress mantled the face

The Staten islander, who is a con-
firmed old bachelor, shivered per-
ceptibly, although the night was not
at all cold.
AS they moved over the ice the
Staten islander from time to time

But apparently the diversion of ex-

equally popular with all the patrons

shore after a couple of rounds they
encountered young couple lettering

KILLED AND WOUNDED IN WAR

KILLED AND WOUNDED IN WAR
NJ Troubert, director of health at
the French ministry of war, has pub
lished an interesting study, on the, sta
tistics of the French killed and wound
ed in the war, limiting himself to the
army. The total losses of the French
army in the war numbered 1926, 600.
OF these, 674,7OO were killed in &C.
ton, 225.3OO were reported missing,
presumably killed." 25O,OOO died from
wounds, and 10000 from disease.
Among NJ. Troubert's conclusions are
The enemy accounted for six to seven
times more men than did sickness, this
being unique in war. One man was
killed to every four wounded. In the
early days of the war Is per cent OF
the casualties were caused by bullets,
but this proportion rapidly fell to 16
per cent, shells and grenades account,
ing for 70 per cent. In 1918 bullet
casualties rose to 20 per cent. OF men
treated in hospital. 70 per cent recov.
cred and were sent back to the front

We now have it on the authority Of
Dr.. Raymond Pearl. professor of BIZ
clnetry and vital statistics at Johns
Hopkins university, that married folks
live longer than bachelors and old
maids, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. This sage conclusion is the re-
suit of the learned professors expert
ments with married and single flies.
He is convinced because married flies
live longer than single ones that
matrimony is conducive to longevity
Of humans Doctor Pearl says that
mortality laws for both the flies and
human beings fundamentally are the
same. He has prepared and compiled
life tables for flies along the same
lines as insurance companies prepare
for human beings. While his deduc-
tons as to comparative longevity of
human beings are based upon the in.
innate knowledge Of flies, the doctor
does not advocate the fly life either
for single folks or married.

Perhaps the saddest of English
words-the word which brings up
more thoughts of grief and fear than
any other word is death" This word
did not come to us from the classic
lands Of Greece and Rome. 1t was
one of the words of the Germanic peo-
pies and has been English ever since
English was. The Angles, who went
to Britain from what is now South
eastern SchIeswig, called the land AN
gleland' and from that word comes
England" Anglishe," or word
something like it, came to be Eng
lish." These Angles, and all the 9TH
err Germanic peoples, had this word
"death" long before the English Ian
guage was spoken, and in the earliest
English we find the word spelled
"deth" and sometimes ''deeth," and no
doubt from the spelling "deeth" we
arrived at spelling death"

A $4,OOO,OOO cargo of gold and sill
yer was sunk off the Virginia capes
ten years ago, and there it lies today.
The third attempt to salvage it has
just ended in failure. Probably other
attempts will be made, until one sue
ceeds. The world perforce has learned
lot about salvaging in the last few
years. British companies now are
working to depth of 800 feet in rails
ing wrecks or removing cargo, and
even this may not be the limit. Since
marine ravages were mainly in a zone
where the water seldom is deeper
than this, the field for salvage opera
tons may be imagined. Unluckily,
most items of cargo do not stand i'm
mersion in salt water. Unless gold
and silver are present, or the vessel
itself Is capable Of repair, the wreck
usually is suffered to rest in peace.

THE charming demure name Of
Priscilla signifies "ancient," S
denotation to which it has every

Whether Priscilla was the name
given to the daughters Of this family
Or not is matter Of conjecture. The
first Priscilla, of whom we have rec

In her honor this feminine form
gained great prevalence in England,

Politics, by Vance Chapman.

The campaign. for the political con-
troll Of Minnesota, it might be said is
now ON. The opening gun was fired
this, week when G. r. Adams, Chair
man Of the Republican State Genital
Cmmittee issued a call for a meeting
of the organization to be held the
first week, in, January. At this meet
ing plans will be formulated For the
Republican State Convention which
will be held in the Twin Cities in
March and the delegate caucuses and
county conventions which will pro-
coed the big meet. The caucuses and
conventions will be the first to be
held under the new political conven-
ton act passed by the last legislature
and naturally considerable interest
attaches to the .preliminaries. So fer
the Democratic leaders have not in
Dictated what the Unterrifed will &c

Townly forces and the Prohibition
party, better known as the National
Party. With two of Minnesota's lead
ing Republicans battling for United
States Senator and the threatened IN
lection of the third into the contest
for secretary of state the big meet
should have more or less of the old
time color, but if any one has in mind
a battle royal he is due to be disap;
pointed AS the dore runs, the state
convention is going to be pretty
much of ratification and the pre-
sent Republican state administration
will be beneficiary AS to the Dem
ocrats, their one problem is the ne
cessary official timber. Candidates
who can make showing are sadly
lacking and the draft may have to oe
