4 SLIGHT MISTAKE.

Mrs. Woodchuck was glad that she had gone to Aunt Polly Woodchuck s house to tell her the news about the Mulcy Cow. Aunt Polly was all in. a futter, she was so eager to see the Muey Cow in her new poke bonnet.
 ''Is the poke becoming to her?" Aunt Polly asked Mrs. Woodchuck
 T haven't set eyes on it." Mrs Woodchuck said. "Old Mir. Crow told me the news only this morning. l asked him to describe the poke. But all he could say was that I'd be sur prised when l saw it."
 That's the way with men folks v Aunt Polly Woodchuck declared They never know anything about the tylcs--except that queer Mir. Frog, the tailor"
 Both ladies giggled at the mere mention of Ferdinand Frog. And while they were. busy tittering, Mrs. Woodchuck' son. Billy helped him self to a piece of carrot from Aunt Polly's store of roots and herbs, T must have a look at the Muley Cow this very morning." Aunt Polly told her caller. Wont you come with me-"
 Mrs. Woodchuck said that nothing would please her more, So she or dered Billy to scamper home.
 "Youll have to wait till l put on my best poke" Aunt Polly said. "If the Muley Cow has a new one l don't

 So Mrs. Woodchuck waited. And at last they set off together to find the Muley Cow. They hadn't gone far before old MT. Crow Tapped down on hummock near them
 'If you're looking for the Muley Cow" he squawked, you'll find her down near the lane. And she's wear ing her new poke. too."
 They thanked him. And as soon as they had passed on Mrs. Woodchuck remarked what busybody he was.
 Always poking his bill into other peoples affairs.' Aunt Polly sniffed.
 Still, his advice saved them good many steps For they found the Muley Cow just where Mir. Crow had said they would ...... But she wasn't wearing a poke bon net at all They noticed that as soon as they caught sight of her.
 Perhaps it has fallen off her head and she doesn't know it. Aunt Polly suggested
 "lll ask her." said Mrs. Woodchuck, and she hurried up 10 the Muley Cow.
 Where's your poke?" she cried. You haven't lost it have you?"
 As she spoke she noticed a peculiar something about the Muley Cows neck. It was sort of huge wooden collar, with d long stake that stuck out in front Of her.

 Don't he impertinent!" she snapped.
 "Excusc us, pleasc!" Aunt Polly Woodchuck said to the Muley Cow. We heard you were wearing poke

CARUSO SUPER MAN
of His Vocal Cords Shows That They Are EXtraordi- nary in Size and Strength.

Rome, March 3, (By The Associat- ed Press).-The throat of Enrico Ca russo, which was left at the time of his death to the Naples Museum, for medical examination, was reproduced pictorially by the Rome newspa pers today, which published the opinion of doctors who describe it as the most extraordinary development known for vocaization.
 Caruso'S vocal cords were twice normal length and his breathing pow CT was described as phenomenal. The epiglottis was as thick as that of the deepest bass singers, while it's attach ment to the tongue was of such a nature as to permit the greatest
 rapidity of vibrations, thus accounting for the immense range of the great tenor. His lung power was so enor-

 The Muley Cow stared at her in a puzzled fashion. And at last the truth dawned upon her

WHY CRIME INCREASES
One. Reason, Given by Chicago Judge, is That Home Life in America is DCcaying.

Chicago. March 1.-The old Amer ican homestead with it's training in religion was the finest and best fac tor in keeping down crime this coun- try ever has known, Judge Hickman Scanlan. chief justice of the crimna court said in an address before the Chicago Medical society last night
 "As an institution. it is fast falling into decay" he continued. with d resultant increase in crime
 Another reason given by Judge Scanlan for the increase in crime is that the American public is losing faith in God" ...5..

 The skirt is quite short, as only sports skirts dare be. There is dis tinct difference between the length Of sport clothes and those designed for ordinary town wear. The former may remain quite short, but the skirts of afternoon and evening dresses as well as tailored suits are longer.

coal number Of the Surrey Graphic
The report describes the overdevelop-
ment as a by-product of uncontrolled
competition.
1ntermittency of operation. the report
points out. is not only a hardship to
)abpr in the form OF a short working
Year. it means increased costs and
lower profits to the operator, difficulty
in maintaining an adequate labor force
and mechanical troubles in the mine.
The railroads suffer because they can
not supply cars enough when the de-

OF tho cars they have cannot be en-
plcyed. As for the consumer he must
pay for the whole expensive business
for SO days of idlcness as well as els
days of work.
A fraction over three days work
week was the average which the coun-
trys soft coal mines afforded the miners
during 1891. according to the report
"rhe potential working year In the
American bituminous industry" con-
tinues the report, lis 308 days. In the
last 80 years the mines have actually
worked on the average 215 days and
have lost 93 days, or 80 per cent. of
the potential time In enforced idleness
due to one cause or another. In 1919
the loss was 113 days; in 1920. at least
81 days, and in the disastrous year 1921
the industry as a whole probably lost
las days, or more than after the panic
OF 1898.
The consequences to the miner are
the most obvious. To him the short
working year is direct loss of income.
II drives him to demand daily rate
of return that will compensate for the
days when he cannot work.
With reference to the instances of
miners who have earned $500, $500 or
$500 in a month, the investigators con-
slider that data as to annual earnings
of large groups of men in the mining
industry are the only ones of signifi-
canoe. The average annual earnings for
1919 are given as $1,000. In 1920 the

wage advance and big profits for the
operators and many men made from

Speculation as to average earnings IN

fruitless. Thousands of miners have
been entirely out OF work. Wage cuts
In the nonunion fields have been partly
compensated for by business snatched
away from the union fields which con-
t.nued to operate on the war time scale
In some of the latter fields working time
has been extraordinarily low, SO that
even wage day rates OF $3.50 have not
prevented severe hardship"

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make II Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend Is to pre-
serve the tooth to make 1t look as
near as possible like 1t was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea Of pulling teeth is some
thing comparatively new In American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also is not as popu-
lar as 1t once was. To make bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold in be-
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with 1t.
Now dentists recommend a plate of
false teeth instead Of the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science Is now
spending Its energies more on serv-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun.
