War of Science on Diseases

OF the diseases of men and animals
known TO be infectious, DR.. Walter e.
King counts up 3S having organisms
not yet discovered that are believed to
be so small as to pass through the GUS
tomary filters. These include chicken
pox, rabies, dengue fever, smallpox,
trachoma. measles, polomyelitis,
scarlet fever, typhus and mumps and
yellow fever was in the list until Doc
tor Noguchi's recent discovery of the
organism. AS in the case of tubercu-
losis, knowledge of the organism does
not always bring direct remedy. On
the other hand, steps toward eradicat-
ing yellow fever, through the destruc.
ton of the germ-carrying mosquito,
were made possible while the disease
organism was still unknown.

great hollow cement cubes, measuring
30 feet from corner to corner are cast

by filling them with stones. Such

Horse Raising States.

Ninety per cent of the 25,OOO,OOO
horses and mules in the United States
are on farms, and only about 10 per
cent are in cities, towns, villages and
other non-agricultural work, according
to advance figures Of the 1920 census.
1t is natural that the ten central
states of the great corn belt-Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and the two
Dakotas-where coarse grains are
raised In plenty, should be the great
reservoir of horse and mule produc-
ton. rearing approximately three
f1fths of all the horses and mules In
the country.
The farmers Of this section produc-
ing horses and mules supply their own
needs, furnish work stock for adjOin
ing farms where horses and mules are
not reared, also the heavy drafters,
wagon horses and expressers wanted
in cities, towns and villages, and the
farm chunks for eastern states where
horse and mule production is not so
common.

"locaI Color.n

The phrase local color is applied
in various ways, and has several
meanings which may be defined in
accordance with the conditions that
have given rise to its use. In paint
ing, it is the hue, or combination Of
hues, special to any object or part,
and also sometimes refers to a gener-
al system of light and shadow upon
which the modelling and tinting Of
details is executed. In literature, 1t
is applied to subject that displays
the distinct characteristics or peculi-
arities of some particular place or
period. In general the phrase Is ap-
piled to any marked individuality
which is inherent in persons or locali-
ties, and which Is circumscribed by
such limitations.

INDIANS ALL OF SAME RACE
Differences in Type No Greater Than
Among the Whites, According
to Scientist.

The American aborigines from the
Hudson bay and Alaska to the south
ern tip of the continent are all men,
bers Of the same race, according to
DR.. Frederick Monsen of New York
and Pasadena, said to be more fa-
miliar with the American Indian than
any other white man.
Doctor Monsen declared the differ
ences in type found in Indians of the
various parts of the continent are be-
coming manifest among us today. He
recognizes people from Maine as typi-
cal Of that section Of the country, and
says a southerner or westerner can
be easily distinguished by one familiar
with the types Of American people.
"The aborigines Of America are all
red men," Doctor Monsen said. THE
EskimOs have fatter noses and oily
skins, due to their diet and the eli
mate"
He found corresponding differences
among the Indians Of the Eastern
coast. the West. Mexico and other
parts Of the country, but other indica-
tons prove the distinguishing char
acteristics were the product Of food,
environment and methods Of living.
Mentioning the treatment the red
men have received from the whites,
Doctor Monsen said: 1.-THE Pilgrims
debarked on Plymouth rock and fell
upon their knees. Then they fell upon
the aborigines and we've been falling
on them ever since"

which has never been explained. The
fires started at such times when the
sites were deserted and could not
have been done through any human

MENUS OF TOWN AND FARM
Statistics Supplied by Department
Of Agriculture Reveal Rural Con-
ditions Notably Satisfactory.

"How are the folks on the farm
faring?' is a question that is answered
with Every we'll, thank you," by the
Department Of Agriculture at Wash
ington. Looking into the average
American farm method Of living, the
department finds that the farmers are
as generously supplied with meat as
any other class Of people, observes
Gus Karger in the Cincinnati Times
Star. Strangely enough, they don't use
eggs as abundantly as the folks else
where, but they use more milk, even
where there are fewer than the aver
age number Of children.
Except in Southern states, where
''quick" breads are often preferred,
wheat bread is the staple. A relative
ly large proportion of starchy vegeta-
bles Is consumed $ and q relatively
small quantity Of the green and sue
culent kinds, In spite Of the fact that
farm families have the best oppOrtun-
tiles for growing vegetables at home.
The studies of the home economics
division of the Department Of Agricul-
ture "bear out the general impress
sion," the report states, that on the
average the farmers families have an
abundant diet, with enough different
kinds of food to insure good health.
Whether the food is we'll cooked and
attractively served the studies do not
show. The fact that almost twice as
much cooking fat was used by the
farm families as by the general aver
age indicates that farm housewives
are inclined to cook too many foods by
frying. The only recommendation is
to use more eggs, more coarse cereals
and a greater variety Of vegetables
and fruits, especially more green
vegetables.

1.-THE rolling stone," we are impress

When ought l to settle down? At

Every intelligent reader knows that
many, If not most, of his luckiest finds
have come while browsing along the
book shelves. To be sure, one needs to
know how to use a library; how to
choose a topic and use catalogues and
indexes to dig up the material. But
there is something to be got by per-
sonal contact with the book shelves
which no catalogue can give. You wan

other might be valuable, when . . Z.

and the day on which you discovered
it was one Of the high days.
There are a few fortunate people
whose natural bents are so pronounced
that they know at quite an early age
exactly what they wish to do as life
work. But such people are relatively
few.
Do they tell you that it is impor-
tant to get your life work started
early? 1t Is far more important to
find the life work which you were
meant to do, whether you find 1t early
or late One ought never to be so
settled down that he cannot take up a
new kind of work if he is convinced
that it is more valuable to himself or
to the community than the kind he is
in; convinced, in short, that it pro-
vides a better outlet for his powers.
The spectacle of a man or woman
tied for life to the wrong mate is not
half so pitiable as the spectacle of a
man or woman tied for life to the
wrong job.
The father who says to the son in
his teens or early '20s. ut is high time
you made up your mind what you are
going to do" is as ridiculous as ply
stefan telling a baby it is high time he
went out for the football team. In
ones teens or twenties it is, to be
sure, high time one is busy and active
about some sort Of productive labor,
but to suggest that the job at this age
should be ones permanent choice is
ruinous folly. 1t may prove to be the
very thing, but if it should not, one
will want an emergency exit
Does it ever occur to us that tho
hope of the world lies mainly in just
these untamed spirits who refuse to
settle down?
