OF Europe's approximately 100000
square miles of territory, seven
eighths was directly involved in the
World war. For Africa the fraction is
larger, 80 out of SO parts having been
in belligerency. Asia, with her 1900
600. square miles, shows twenty-four-
twenty-ffths of her territory involved.
while Australia was completely in the
throes Of war. In North America,
four-fifths of an area of nearly TO-
100000 square miles is occupied by
two Of the great countries that were
in the struggle. Only about one-half
of South America remained nominaliy
neutral. Therefore Of the 100000
square miles of the globes area, ex-

100000 square miles belong to the bel

Wood Duck Leads In Beauty

No duck in America surpasses the
wood duck for beauty and variety %
color. 1t loves warm weather and pre-
cedes even the teal In its migration to
the southland. The female viii occupy
the discarded nest of any bird In hol-
low tree or make a new one In any
suitable place near the water. She
often returns to the same nest year
after year.
The hole which admits her to ths
nest appears many times too small for
a bird Of half her diameter, but she
enters with ease. When the ducklings
are ready to swim they jump fnstinc
lively into the water, II the nest be-
above 1t. but If 1t be some distance
from the water, she carries them to
It in her bill.--Detroit News

Bee-Stinging Used to
"Treat" Rheumatism

Despite the great advances made In
medical science and the discovery Of
sanctioned remedies for nearly every
disease there stu prevails to an alarm

remedies, some bordering on the super

every day to the physicians At the
board Of health building in New York.

kind that has come to my attention"

Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Handles $1,000 Pieces
of Mail Daily
(By Cartor w. Wormeley.

10y OdTtOT w. WOrIu6ley.J
Richmond, Va. Sept. 4th.-On
July lst, there became effective
in Virginia new automobile
title law. requiring a certificate
as to the payment of poll tax be-
fore license could be issued.
The. new law also required the
Motor Vehicle Commissioner to
mail to each owner an applica-
ton blank for retitling his car,
allowing the Commissioner ninety
days in which to do this. Within
twenty-five or thirty day after
this law went iuto effect the
Office of the Commissioner had
addressed and in the mail letters
to the entire list of owners of
cars, with full instructions as to
securing a new title.
Since early in July mail reach
ing the Motor Vehicle. Depart
ment has registered over $1,000
pieces each day. At one time
the department had as many as
10000 unopened pieces of mail
on hand, motwithsta uGiug a force
of il teen clerks had been detail
ed to do nothing bur open and
assert these communica tons.
There has been some criticism
from owners who failed Ito get
their license within a few days
after they had mailed in appli-
cations. To meet the situation,
says Commissioner HAYS, his de-
partinent has been doing every
thing humanity possible. having
actually doubled its working
force to serve the people.
Fully four-fifths of the appli-
Cations arrived without certifi-
Cate as to the poll tax, says Com
m ssioner HAYES. Many of the
requests came in without an APP
plication for certificate of title

of course, occasioned same delay.
The Department has now
caught up with the opening of
its mail and is getting out
licenses, many of them the same
day the applications are receiv.
ed, provided these are in proper
form and accompanied with the
p Jll tax. certificate
Much of the trouble, says the
Commissioner, has been due to
the fact that dealers did not, lor
would not, comply with the new
title law by having their cars
titled before selling This neces-
sarily delayed the owner in get
ting his car titled and licensed
In order to give special service
to dealers, envelopes printed IN

ing instructions as to to their
use. These special red envelopes
are opened ahead Of all others

the dealers WHO comply with in
structions from the Department
are receiving twenty four hour
service.

ruslland delay is now behiHd the

operation of the public the Com
missioner expects TO be in posi-
ton to give prompt atten ton 10

prompt service. sending their
applications marked for the per
sonal attention of the Commits
