cides with the convex line Of the lunula,
where the nail wall covers part Of the
posterior portion of the nail plate, re-
sulting in a white convex bowling over
the base Of the nail plate. 1t Is gen.
orally accepted that the matrix can pro-
duce normal nail substance. That the
nails are supplied by nerves Is well
known.
Normally. the nail grows on the aver
age Of / nm. in ten days, that is, In
one day OIL nm. The growth Is most
rapid IN adults and slowest In old age
and more rapid IN summer than In win
ter. Berthold found that normally the
nails on the right hand grew more
quickly than the nails on the left hand.
1t is well known that nail growth Is
often diminished in acute infections
conditions with fever). a process SIM
liar to the cessation Of the growth Of
hair in the course of or following some
infections. A physician reported to me
that subsequent to an attack of acute
rheumatic fever at the age Of 45 he
had noted the cessation OF the growth
of one Of his finger nails for m e than
year.
On the average. according to various
authorities, the nail completely renews
itself in los or log days. However.
found the average size OF the nail OF
the adult to be 13 nm. Accepting that
the nail grows / nm. IN ten days, 1t
should take 100 days for the nail to
be regenerated II the nail Is of normal
size. In small children the rate Of
growth found was 0.64 nm. and In
older children 0.s4 nm. In ten days
Since the nail of the child is smaller
than that of the adult one can readily
understand why tho nails are regener-
ated within from eighty to ninety-six
days in the child and in from 100 to 1872
days In the adult, despite the slower
rate of growth given by Dufour.
Schick found that the period of ap-
pearance OF the physiologic transverse
furrow of the newly born was on about
the thirty-seventh to the fortieth day
after birth. The thirtieth day was the
earliest and the ninth week the latest
time Of appearance. The average dura
tion of the period that the transverse
furrow was visible was Nifty days: IN
an exceptional case It's duration was 100
days. These observations have both
practical and a medicolegal interest. An
infant with a transverse furrow of the
finger nail which is located 1 nm. from
the proximal end Of tho visible nail
plate is at least twenty-eight days old
and Is apparently not older than nine
weeks.

Town Beauty.

II smoky air must be ones heritage
Where dusty trees the bustiing high
ways line.
And grlmy curbs ones daily steps de-
fine,
Yet may one find in buildings gray
with age
That carven stone and lovely curves as
suage
And in the surglng prowess of the
throng
Plenty to lift ones spirit high and
strong
Above the sordid strife that cities wage
At each streets end may stretch lilac
sea:
Or from the wharvcs may blow a
misty dream
OF far-off seas; or some swart vender
free
ones fancies till more real than fact
they seem:
If one have reverence and seeing eyes
Town beauty holds each hour some fresh
surprise.

the upper window of 1895 President

FAINT in his mail bag, saving it from
serious injury, possibly from death.
Then he went on his business for

would scarcely interrupt the routine
OF his task. Whatever happens, the

To THE New YORK HERALD: You car
ried a dispatch In recent edition
to the effect that one Peter Johansen
battled with thrasher shark for two
hours off Cape May before Its capture.
After this statement you observed that
"thrasher sharks are natives of the Gulf
Of Mexico and are rarely seen in north

I believe the latter statement to be
inaccurate and misleading. have seen
thrasher sharks operating as far north

repugnant to him. But Mir Harding served all of his senatorial term un- der democratic President.
 Harding Realizes Plight
 But the situation Is different now. The President at last is convinced that if he continues to keep hands off the situation in the Senate will go from bad to worse at so fast a pace that the present unsympathetic feel Ing on the part of the people toward the Congress--to put 1t mildly--will grow into such a storm of protest as to threaten republican supre- macy in the House of Representa- tives and discredit the entire admin istration.
 The straw that broke the patient back of President Harding was the announced plan of Senator McCum- Der, chairman of the finance commit tee. to sidetrack the tariff on Mon day in favor of the soldier bonus bill. It so happens that MT. McCum- ber's committee has charge of both the tariff and the bonus. While Sem ator Lodge has retained titular lead ership in the Senate, Chairman Mo Cumber virtually is in the saddle so long as his committee measures are under consideration. Mir. Lodge has let MT. McCumber have a pretty free
 
 drawn the line at sidetraeking the tariff for the bonus.
 Tariff Cry Over . Year
 President Harding called Congress in extra session April II, 1921, for the express purpose reducing taxes and revising the tariff That the tariff. the poor, old. much abused tariff. once the talisman of the G. O. r. should still be subject to sidetrack- ing in the midst of June, 1922, is a little more than even so tolerant q President as Mir. Harding has proved can stand.
 There Is no doubt that President Harding will win his point in the party conference the senators have been summoned to hold at 10 o'clock Monday morning, just an hour before the time Mir McCumber has threat ened to displace the tariff by calling for the bonus. The only question now is. How far will MT. McCumber and some of the other decidedly pro- bonus senators go in making a com bination with the democrats to over Tide the republican majority decision?
 McCumber in Fire
 Many senators feel a deep sympa- thy for MT. McCumber. He must stand the test of the primaries in just 10 days and bitter fight is be- ing made against him in his home state of North Dakota. The tariff and other duties have held the sena- tor in Washington. He has been un- able to make campaign. But he has been placing great faith in the bonus to help him out. He has felt that if he could get the measure up for consideration in the Senate by the time the primary ballots are cast, 1t would help his chances for renomtnation tremendously, even if the bill itself should fail of passage, or should be vetoed after passage
 On the other hand. friends of the President have resented the insis- tence of some senators in demand ing that the bonus bill be given prior consideration to the tariff. for they say the President has threatened to veto a bonus bill which does not pro-
