STOPS SPREAD OF DISEASE
Turned to Good Account as
Heath Filter"

The geographical position of the
Panama canal makes it possible to
utilize it, in quarantine sense, as a
gigantic filter for the removal Of dis
ease from the circulation Of maritime
commerce, thus inhibiting the spread
Of disease. according to a report OF
the Panama canal health department.
The periodic fumigation Of ships,
the instruction of owners, agents and
officers of ships as to the necessity
for adequately safeguarding vessels.
the vaccination of crews, and passen-
gers and the investigation of disease
outbreaks on board arriving ships,
combine to this end as well as to the
protection of the Canal Zone and the
vessels using canal ports and water
ways. For example, an outbreak OF
mild smallpox on one vessel was ham
died without secondary cases or
spread to other ships of the fleet, and
cerebrospinal meningitis on another
steamship was also successfully con-
trolled.
1t Is believed that the order direct
ing attention to the necessity for ade-
quately safeguarding ships has pro-

AeEs-oLD SIGN is PASSING
Pawnbrokers Gradually Doing Away
With Emblem That Has Been
Common tho World over.

The crest of the house of Lombardf,
which for three centuries has topped
the entrance to every pawnshop in
Christendom, is gradually coming
down. Here In New York the fire
department has discovered that the
three golden balls, which remind you
that your watch and your overocat are
ever-present friends in need, seriously
hamper the operations Of the freight
ing forces.
The department has sent out no con-
crete orders to do away with the signs,
but the pawnbrokers themselves have
come to the conclusion that their bust
ness can be as effectually served by
painting the three golden balls on
their display windows as by hanging
them out in the open where every be-
deviled kid In the nelghborhood takes
a shot at them with stone.
But the three balls will all be down
inside of year or so, is the predlc-
ton of pawnbroker on lower Park
row.
Your Uncle Abe" he said, doesn't
have to depend on the sign of the
House of lombard. The man or wom-
an who Is broke has learned the loca-
tion of the pawnshops. 1t has been
found that the three balls have actual
ly impeded business. Men and women
who want to negotiate loan on their
personal effects hesitate to enter a
pawnshop which is heralded to the
world, by the three balls.
"They want privacy, and they are
entitled to the same consideration from
us as the big banking houses accord
their patrons who need financial as
sistance We are taking down the
three balls gradually, but we are hav-
ing monogram made on the window 8
which serves the same purpose. Every
sign or symbol above the door Is an
obstacle in the way of the fire fighters
and there is no sense in the three-ball
sign anyway."-New York Sun.

Among the wealth of beauty and

of the most wonderful sights is the
Kutub Minar, said to be the most per-

SHOW CHARACTER OF METAL
Sparks Enable Expert to Make Sure
Determination of Steel's Hard
ness and Quality.

A simple method Of approximate an
alyzation OF metal has been introduced
In France recently, based upon the
sparks emitted when the steel Is
pressed upon grindstone.
Each kind Of steel gives Its own
characteristic shower Of sparks. from
which a practiced eye can judge of its
hardness and quality. There are three
principal forms of sparks. In the first,
the incandescent particle makes very
fine luminous threads. In the second.
the shower is decorated with few ex-

the shower is made up of these little
explosions. In addition to these forms,

Drawn OF
The NORTH

A terrific story out of
the heart of the famine
lands of the north, of
mother-love and dog devo-
tion-a story of a giant dog
guarding a babe in the
SHOWS; of famine-mad wolf
packs circling them; of a
demented mother crying
for her child.
You'll thrill, fangs barred,
white foam scudding from
swapping jaws, the great
body rigid-flash through
the air, into the wolf pack
; for the love of a woman.
Not once, but time after
time you'll choke and gasp
; at STRONGHEART, splen-
did, magnificent, supreme
King of his line. A
, figure of thrill and throb
and sheer amazement.

the truly remarkable films
of the year. We personally
endorse it most highly.

Says
BY John p. Medbury.

GROUP OF business men
plan to start out very soon
and hunt for the Garden
of Eden" They're going to go
on the trip by automobile but be-
fore they find Paradise" they'll
have to make plenty of detours.
THEY want to find some of the
apples that Adam ate ana
judging from the prices the fruit
stores charge, they'll be just as
easy to get as the local kind
WITH California oranges at
Two for a quarten 1t looks
as though oranges are now the
forbidden fruit.
HISTORIANS tell US that the
Garden of Eden is somewhere
in the world, so with this definite
knowledge these explorers are not
going on a wild goose chase.
PARADISE is wonderful place
= and the only reason that
Adam and his wife left was be-
cause, like lot of boarding house
roomers. they were asked to
leave.
DUT Mr.. Adam and Mrs. Eve
took all their belongings with
them. In those days nobody ever
held your baggage.
COME people think that Adam
left because he got the won
derlusts They are sure that he
inherited it, as his ancestors must
have been, travelling men.
ADAM took his wife with him
because he couldn't leave her
home with her mother.
LIE had to leave town just be-
cause he took an apple which
didn't belong to him, but a cop
can swipe one off fruit stand
and get away with it.
Two of these explorers are
bootleggers and they figure
that Paradise is . place where
there aren't any revenue officers.
Or course they realize that
there should be two or three
prohibition agents there, other
wise where would they buy any
liquor.
THE other four explorers are
sure that there are no women
in the Garden of Eden. That's
where it gets the name Of Para
disc.
One guy suggested taking their
wives with them, but the
rest of the bunch couldn't see
any sense in turning a peaceful
land into a battlefield.
THEY expect to get plenty to
= drink in the Garden Of Eden.
Adam and Eve are gone but their
spirits win be there.
Or course they didn't leave any
~ thing but apple cider, but
look at the time it has had to
ferment.
TT probably won't be in a keg
= because if Adam had had a
barrel he would probably have
worn it in some Of the pictures
we've seen Of him.
ONE Of these explorers says IL
he finds the apple that Adam
ate he will. prove it by sending
the core to the local chamber Of
commerce.
THERE'S only one way we can
really tell If these men dis
cover Paradise and that IL, If
they don't come back.
