NEW YORK COMMANDER
LEAVES STATE POLICE

Lieutenant Colonel George F. Chand-
Ter. who organized the New York
State Police In 1917, has resigned his
post IN order to resume his practice
as surgeon. He had served under
both Republican and Democratic ad-
ministrations.
While known as one Of the most
successful surgeons in the East, DR..
Chandler had made q great success
as police commander. He used the
same scientific methods in dealing
with crime that he would have used
in diagnosing disease. It was his
theory that crime is largely due to
mental disease Of one form or an
other.
The New York State Police was
increased this year from four to six
troops. It was organized at about the
same time as the Michigan State
Police.

RED MEN AS WOOD CARvERS
Many Of the American Aborisines
Were Experts, as Specimens Still
In Existence Show.

1t has been pointed out that the
chief reminder of our aboriginal life is
the woodwork and bone carving of the
Indians of the Pacific Northwest.
While the cities of that region are en-
terprising and important centers of In
dustry, and while the inhabitants of
many Indian reservations have adopt
ed the latest farming methods and
have become prosperous agriculturists,
there remain some primitive workers
whose wooden products have the same
quaint appearance as those of their
ancestors generations and generations
ago.
When they possessed no better tools
than stone axes and bone handled i'm.
plements, before the white man had
brought his iron Instruments to this
country. these Indians were experts at
their chosen profession. With their.
crude implements they cut planks four
feet wide by ten feet long from tree.
Many specimens of their carving In
wood, bone and ivory, preserved now
In museums, show. considerable skill
Their canoes, hewn from n single log,
were so feet in length, as rule, and

DEITY STANDS FOR JUSTICE
Chinese God Long Highly venersted
for Mission Which II 10 Sup
posed to Have.

A god, said to be 800 years old,
dence on number of occasions and
still retains its original dignity and
appearance, attracts the attention of
persons who attend the sessions of the
Mixed Court In Shanghai, China
About twenty years ago the god was
transferred to his present position
from the Marking Road temple. He
Is known as the Tu De Shun (the God
of Earth) and is guarded by nine
smaller images.
In the olden times the yamen run
ners took the place of the present-day
court officials and detectives. 1t was
their duty to serve warrants and
summonses as we'll as to arrest rob-
bers. murderers and criminals. Be
fore they went out on their mission.
they were sure to PROSTATE them
selves before Tu De Shun and ask for
his blessing and aid in securing sue
cess Whenever they succeeded In
their missions and returned to the va
men they offered their thanks.
tn De Shun sits facing the court
rooms, because, 1t Is said, he wishes
to see Justice properly meted out. He
will frown whenever there Is an in
justice done to anybody. Litigants
make their offerings to the god and
may be seen at various times asking
Tu De Shun to give them the power
to win the lawsuits in which they are
involved. When magistrate as
sumed Office in the olden days he al
ways prayed to this god for assist.
ance before he dared take over the
Office.

"The new library at Louvain. which
is now building, promises TO have a
rare collection of fine editions and
other books Of great value writes
Frank q. Carpenter, the author of
Alaska. Our Northern Wonderland"
According to the Versailles treaty the
books of this library were to be re-
placed by the Germans. There was no
catalogue and 1t was impossible to
give the exact number or volumes or
authors. Instead Of buying new books,
the Germans are gathering together
the many fine private libraries which
have come on the market through the
poverty of their intelleetuals. These
libraries are bought as whole. They
represent the collections of years and
are said to be literary treasures"

FASHIONS IN HORSES TAILS
Odd Designs That Have Been More OF
Less Popular at Various Periods
of History.

Horses tails have been subjected to
curious changes of fashion In tn
time of the Stuarts the English coach

and Was cut square. II was adorned
with ribbons on gala days, and
strapped up in leather ease in winter
weather; thus certain harmony was
preserved between the wig Of the mas
ter and the tail of his horse.
BY the time of George II short wig
and a plgtaii had taken the place of
the flowing curls in which the cava-
llers of Charles | and the. rakes of
Charles lis court delighted.
The brilliant idea occurred TO Lord
Cadogan, a cavalry officer of that
period, to reduce the tails of his dra
COON horses to short dock. Possibly
this was done with the view of saving
his soldiers the trouble of cleaning
those long tails and avoiding the
nuisance of the splashes uniforms and
accoutrements must have received
from such hair streamers. Or 1t may
be that the debased taste of the age
made him think the appearance of his
regiment was really improved by
bobbed tails. That Is a question which
history does not decide.
The next step was to turn bobtails
into plugtails by cutting all the hair
from the. last two or three inches of
the dock. Having thus succeeded In
disfgurlng the headquarters of dra-
COON horses. some individual devised
the additional barbarlty of cropping
their ears.

VACUUM TUBE IMPORTANT IN

1t IS said that the vacuum tube,
sometimes called an amplifier, is TO
the wireless and long-distance tele-
phones, what the keystone is to the
arch
The simple vacuum tube consists OF
glass bulb similar to the ordinary
incandescent lamp, and besides fila
ment, which is the platinum wiring
inside the bulb, it also contains a
little metal plate placed near the fila
ent. Between the filameni and the
plate is portion Of wire lHeshing call

The electricity passes into the bulb
and leaps from an open filament,
through the meshing of the bridge,
and is then taken II by the metal
plate and so passes Out of the bulb.
The vacuum tube is largely respon-
sible for tile success of the loud speak

The remarkable advancement that
has been made in telephone operating
can easily be yisnalized by comparing
the modern central office with the old
time central office
Way back in 1880, the switchboards
were crude affairs with boys as oper-
ators. In those days the operator had
a single telephone cord with plug
at either end. When he wanted TO
establish a connection he inserted one
end OF the cord into a small opening
on the switchboard. He then com
pleted the connection by inserting the
other end of the cord in a similar
opening at another point on the
switchboard Sometimes he had to
traverse the entire length of the op-
