BOARDING HOUSE FOR PETS
Institution for Care Of Dogs and Cats
Planned by Humane Society
In Kansas City.

Plans for establishing a boarding
house for pet animals, principally dogs
and cats, were outlined recently by
sficials Of the Wyandotte County HUI
mane society. The plans will be sub
nitted to the board Of directors by
Miss Sarah Jacobs, president.
The dog and cat boarding house
would be self-sustaining. Miss Jacobs
said that the plan contemplated would
require the construction of suitable
Sheds. pens, a run or playground for
dogs and a modern system for disln-
eectant to guard against disease.
81 have had more than 100 calls this
summer" Miss Jacobs said. from re-
bponsible persons who desired to pay
Cor temporary home for their pets
while away on vacations.
ut appears comical to establish
boarding house for dogs and cats. but
he proposal has serious side. Many
animals are valuable, and dogs roam
lng the streets while owners are away
On vacations often become rabid."
Miss Jacobs said provisions would
be made to give lodging to horses and
COWS II the demand was great enough.
The boarding house would be under

Plaque Deadly In Java.

In Java, which has population a
third as big as ours, bubonic plague
Is so common that 1t kills half OF the
children before they are FIVE years old.
The Javanese take this as matter of
course, reports William Ferguson,
globe trotter. He found the people OF
Java with the viewpoint that If the
plague didn't kill half Of the children
the island shortly would be unable to
sustain the inhabitants despite Its fer
tility.
Nature Is cynical In its harshness.
She deals only in cause and effect, ac-
tion and reaction, and the thing we
call emotion Is alien to her plans.
Civilization Is merely banding to-
gether for mutual protection against
harsh nature. Most of us have lost
sight of this original purpose.

STAND ON OWN LEGS NOW RUSSIAN MOTTO
Elaborate Plans Are Made For In-
 creasine Export

MOSCOW, April 14.-"Stand on your own legs has become Russias slogan for 1923, applicable not only to her dealings with foreign nations, but with reference to the individual departments of her government, all of which are now being urged to finance themselves and not bother the central authorities for money.
 After the Hague, Genoa and Lau- same conferences had demonstrated to the soviet government that it could not look for much foreign assistance in building up it's economic affairs higher officials reached the conclus- ion that if Russia wished recon- struction, she would have to do it herself.
 Elaborate plans have been made for increasing exports greatly dur ing 1923 In order that the money secured may be used to build up fac tories and agricultural industries. The total income from exports during the present year is expected to reach 217.1s0oo0 gold rubles. The xport plan of the state plan commission contemplates the exportation during 1923 of the following goods: Grain. 10000. 900 poods: flax. 25.030,0o0 poods: forage. 5.000. GOO poods. hides, 10000 900; furs. l5.0o0.oo0 pieces; oil, 2i 900 .000 poods, and timber, 65,0o0,- 900 standards.
 Besides those principal exports the commission estimates that Russia will now enter the world as a com petitor in the wine and spirit trade, the plan including the sale in for eign markets of 5000 barrels Of spirit and i7,oo0 barrels of wine.
 With reference to the interns l policy of standing on your own legs" all government institutions now insist upon cash payment from other institutions for every inter change of service. For example, if a govern ment bureau wishes to ship goods by railway freight, it murt pay cash to the railway administration before the shipment iS accepted.

STANDARDIZATION TO AID MODERN FARMERS
Institute Plans To Foster Similarity
 In Machinery

CHICAGO, April 14--ff Farmer Jones loses a nut or bolt from his moving machine, he need no longer crank up the flivver for trip to town. He may replace it with sim- liar one from his binder, as result of the standardization and slmplif1- cation of farm machinery indicated by survey just completed by the National Institute of Progressive Farming.
 The programs of simplification, as undertaken by leading implement manufac cturers. are improving repair and dealer service with resultant saving in time, labor and money for the farmer, the survey indicated.
 Figures furnished by Alexander Legse. president of the International Harvester company. were submitted to the institute as indicative Of the lines along which his company has been working for simplification. He said that in 1918 the company made one standard two-horse wagon in SIS types, but reduced the types to Is in 1922. Twentytwo sizes of blows also were eliminated, he said. Reports submitted to the institute by other manufacturers showed similar pro- portional decreases.
 From the humble beginning of Cy- rus H. McCormick's crude reaper in 1s31 the farm machinery industry grew with such rapidity that shortly before the war there were thousands of different types of merely one class of machinery.
 One result was that If a machine broke suddenly. the farmer, disgust ed by the enforced suspension of urgent work, hustled into town only to find that the dealer could not fur nish the needed part. Days of rest less inactivity usually followed while the replacement was sent from the factory. This loss of time and labor was costly.
 After the World war. where stand ardization was learned extensively, the implement manufacturers turned their attention to recognition of the benefits of simplification as they would apply to the consuming farm CT. Thousands of types were elimi- mated by incorporating into one ma chine the good points formerly pos sessed by several of the same type. The simplified machine was supe- rior to any of the originals. having the best features of all and the ob- jections of none, the survey showed. thus enabling tho dealer to have on his floor any standardized type of machine. and to supply parts direct from the stock replacements without sending to the factory.

NEW SCIENTIEIC FACT

Sight through the sensitive cells of the skin. subject of many experi- ments, now Is accepted by group of prominent French scientists and writ CTS as thoroughly demonstrated fact.
 Julues Remains. writer and physi- ologist. who has spent five years of intermittent work in developing his theory. says hundreds of successful tests have been witnessed by Ana tole France. and scores of physicians, oculists and university professors and public men. all of whom signed reports vouchins for their authen- ticity.
 The experiments. however, are still in the laboratory stage and NJ Ro- mains warns the blind against hope of imm ediate rerlief, because the ap- plication of skin sight" to practical use has hardly begun.
 M Remains theory Is that there are little cells akin to eyes scattered throughout the sensitive portions of the skin such as the nostrils. Scien- tifically supervised experiments. he says, have resulted in blind or blind : folded persons reading written char acters and identifying objects and even colors, but this sixth sense needs training. He obtained the best results from subjects in state approaching hypnosis.
 M. Remains says the two main diff faculties have been lack of money and equipment and the opposition of a certain group of "old fashioned scientists" whe ridiculed his efforts Now, however. the imposing list of men who have testified to the ex- periments is attracting great at tention to his theory.

WOMAN APPROVES MEN

Has More Respect For Ladies' Aid
 Societies"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April H. Miss Elizabeth Rainey, Indianas only woman member of the general assem- ply which recently closed, says that after attending a party caucus she told of the caucus members that NOW I have more respect for the La dies Aid societies"
 Of course. one cannot tell what occurred in the caucus. It was my first, andsit was one of the real thrills l got out of the session" Miss Rainey added.
 In describing her experiences as legislator, Miss Rainey said she took her seat with the feeling that she know nothing about the workings of the legislature, but it did not take her long to discover that about 7s per cent Of the members were in the same fix. During the first half of the session." she continued. Virtually aE the activity was carried on by six or seven members. but by the end of every member was demanding recog- milton at the same moment
 Miss Rainey was unfavorasly i'm pressed by the scant attention the representatives were able to give the various bills. Some of them were so long, she declared, that the legisla- tors had to take the word of the au- thor as to what the bill proposed to do.
 Women are equally competent with men for legislative service, Miss Rainey contended. She expressed amusement at what she termed the 1tics of the men on the last day cf the session. when many verbal con1bsts took place and physical en- counters were narrowly averted. 'I have lad some amusement trying to f sure out what would be said of a group of women which behaved as did the members Of the house on the last night" said Miss Rainey. No excuse, l An, sure, could have been found for them
 Miss Rainey declared it was her opinion that there were not enough lawyers in the legislature. She does not care for second term.
