TORTURE APPLIED TO FEET

In 4 long range Of what Herbert
Spencer called physical sins, foot sins
loom up as the stupidest and least e1-
cusable Of which man Is guilty. II
men and women were born with the
wretched appliances they call shoes
they would have a right to raise their
voices in lamentatiOn over the cruelty
Of Nature In affecting them with such
a burden. Is it not a strange paradox
that we should glory In our scientific
ingenuity that has enabled us to con-
struct the flying machine while we
have lost the art of walking correctly
and making u feet and legs really
dependable as instruments of locomo-
ton? asks Eugene Lyman Fisk, NJ. D.,
In the Health Builder. II we were
simply aspiring to fly and ultimately
abandon the use Of our lower limbs,
that would be a consistent program.
But why insist upon encasing our feet
In reforming appliances? Why not use
reasonable intelligence in walking

ANOTHER GAIN FOR SCIENCE!
Information as to Respiration Of insects

A scientist abroad has constructed
a delicate instrument that registers

n crystal tube with an aperture In
the end. Imprisoned in this, the To-
Gust, in the effort to extrlcate Itself,
turns over. bringing his thorax i'm

ball in the point. In this way. thanks
to the ascending and descending move

lever, the movements of the thorax
are registered on Il plate or metal leaf.

each breath OF the insect and, what Is
more important, the strength and ac-

TEXAS COMPANY
COMPLETES CYCLE

What is known as 1.-The complete
cycle" in the petroleum industry has
now been completed through the
United States by The Texas Company,
producers OF Texaco petroleum pro-
ducts. This complete cycle includes
production, refining and marketing
facilities, and The Texas Company
now has facilities in all three phases
from coast to coast, and from the
Gulf Of Mexico to the Great Lakes.
This complete cycle has been
achieved by the recent developments
and expansion of The Texas Com
link needed to make the activities Of
pany in the Far West, which was the
the company countrywide. The pro-
duction is from the Company's wells
in the Salt Greek Fields in Wyoming.
and the refining facilities have been
accomplished by the erection of a
splendid new refinery at Casper,
Wyoming. Along with these produce
ton and refining facilities has been
the organization of a Western sales
department. with headquarters at
Denver, Colorado, and the establish
ment of stations and other market
ing equipment throughout the new
territory.

BIRD HAS CHANGED ITS COLOR
circumstances Somewhat Rare. but
Not Unknown to the Students
Of o~rnitholoqy.

The leopard may not be able to
change his spots, but the feathers on
the ground finch Of Chimbo valley In
western Ecuador have changed their
color. This mystery was explained to
the American Ornithologists' union
meeting IN Chicago by DR.. Frank M.
Chapman, curator Of birds Of the
American Museum Of Natural History.
The ground inhabiting finch anges
from Mexico to southern Peru. In all
this 5,OOO-mile stretch Of country these
birds have a conspicuous black throat
band and underparts Of gray and
white. This Is the case everywhere
except in one small river valley, where
the bird loses Its black collar and be-
comes almost entirely white.
Doctor Chapman said that this diff
ferent dress was not due to environ
ment. but one Of the rare Instances
n which such q change had been de-
tected In birds. The mutation which
spontaneously occurred has simply be-
come permanent and specific through
the isolation Of this group Of birds.

Concerning MoonUnht.

1t Is probable that few persons are
aware OF the fact hat the full moon
gives several times more than twice
the light of the half 400 They may
be still more surprised to Learn that
the ratio IL approximately as vine to
one!
Stebbins and Brown. taking advan-
tage Of the extreme sensltiveness to
light OF a selenium cell, measured the
amount Of light coming from the moon
at different phases. with the result
above mentioned. The reason for the
remarkable difference shown is t o be
found In the varying angles of reilec-
tiOn presented by the rougheDed sur
faces OF Il satellite to the sun. The
moon is brighter between first quarter
and full than between full and last
quarter. The cause OF this Is evident
In the more highly reflective charac-
ter OF that part OF the moon that lies
west of Its meridian.

TEST TO PROVE Foc7ITuoE
indian ABraves" Subjected to .,idso
Torture Before T.sy .~.s
Chased as "Narriurs."

The Sun dance was a ceremonial
performance IN which the young SiouA
aspirant gave that final proof Of en-
durance and courage which entitled
him to the honors of a full-fiedged
warrior. One feature Of 1t was the
suspension in air of the candidate by
. raw-hide rope passed through Sits
cut in the breast, OF elsewhere, until
the flesh tore and he fell to the
ground. II he tainted, faltered or
failed, or wen gave way momentarily
to his anguish during the suspension,
he was damned forever after, and was
called and treated as a squaw for the
rest Of his miserable life.
The afterward famous Rain-in-the-
Face, In submitting to this test, hung
suspended for two days with the raw
hide rope through deep Sits In his
back over the kidneys, while he taunt-
ed his tormentors, and sang his war
songs, and boosted of his deeds. The
tough flesh muscles and tendons would
not tear loose. Buffalo skulls were
tied to his legs and the added weight
finally enabled the Indian stole to
break free.

SCHLIEBNER CHANGES
STYLE AT PLATE AND
STICKS WITH BROWNS
Erstwhile Dead Right Field
Hitter Now Hits in All
Directions.

St. Louis, Aug. 11.-Substituting
for George Sisler, voted the most valu-
able player in baseball last year, is
just about the toughest assignment
that could be handed an athlete.
Dutch" Schliebner is essaying that
role, for the st. Louis Browns and
doing very good job of it. Schlieb-
ner was not considered good enough
for the Brooklyn Club.
A good fielder. Schliebner was not
abue to hit. National League pitching.
His troubles started on the spring
training trip which the Brooklyn
Club played with the New York
Yankees.
The crafty pitching staff of the
Yankees soon observed that Schlieb-
ner was a right field hitter. They
kept the ball on the inside, against
his handle, and as a result he was
practically helpless. National League
pitchers soon got wise and it wasn't
long after the opening of the season
that Schliebner was adjoining the
bench. Manager Robinson was con-
WINGED that he couldn't hit major
league pitching.
Lee Foil, in dire need Of first
sacker to bolster IN the Browns,
took chance on Schliebner, despite
the information he had that Schlieb'
ner was a weak hitter.
In the American League Schlieb.
ner has done very well at the bat
He now hits as many balls to left
field as right. We will let Schliebner
explain:
Lee Foil is responsible for my
improved hitting. After my first
game he told me l was pushing in.
stead of swinging at the ball. He
also said that my stance at the plate
was wrong. that a strong fellow like
me ought to hit to all fields. Inside
of week he had changed my style
entirely and l am now reaping the
benefits. From a dead right field
hitter / can pull ball to left field
as good as the next fellow"
