New Bodies For Old.

The family physician of the near fu-

making out a worksheet for the guild
ance of the surgeons to accompany a
hypothetical patient to the hospital.
which might read something like this:
"A1nputate rheumatic right leg and
graft on a new one.
'Cut out kidneys, which are devel-
oping Bright's disease, and transplant
sound ones. preferably from healthy

Reverse circulation of the blood

"Cut out stomach. 1t is completely
worn out and has a well-developed

use for it hereafter, as it will take all

Not bit of it. Perhaps no one man
could stand 1t to have quite all these
things done to him at one time. but
the surgeons could do their part all
right. They know they could, be-
cause they have already performed all
these seemingly impossible feats and
a great many more besides.

Must be Built at q Special Time and
In Special way.
When a Chinaman has decided to
build himself house the first person
he consults is not an architect, but
a sort Of wizard.
This individual examines the site
and marks the exact spot for the front
door. In China front doors must new
er face due south, though partly
southern aspect is highly desirable
Only houses of the Emperor and Of
high governing officials may front que
south.
The WHARF, or Geomancer, next pre-
scribes the exact size of the front door.
An inch too much or too little might
have disastrous consequences.
A screen of wood or Of bricks must
be erected about three yards in front
OF the door. This is to keep out any
evil breath. Not human breath, nor
malaria, nor bad odors; but some mys-
terious and fatal something which is
only to be kept out by that screen.
The wizard next locates the spot
for the kitchen fireplace. This also
must not face south, because the south
represents fire. and the kitchen fire
ahd the south fire, working together.

would just naturally burn up.
Having settled the question of place,
the wizard figures out the time when
work may be begun with some degree
Of safety For instance, if the earth
god should be at home when the work.

q spade into his august Uranium and
then there would be the devil to pay.
The family living in that house would

The would-be builder must also find
out whether it is year when he may
with safety begin anything. A man
must not be married, for instance,
when his age is "A or 26, or any even
number
Having picked out a favorable year,
John must next consider his two lucky
months, for there are only two out
Of the twelve which are favorable TO
his undertaking new things. Inen ms
yellow road days or good ones must
be determined. There are more black
road days than yellow ones, so the
suspicious moments for starting his
house are finally reduced to pretty
limited number.
But that isn't all. The lucky days
of the whole family must next be

yellow road days and the result boil
ed down. The proper moment for
putting the front door in place. for
building the kitchen fireplace and SO

waiting perhaps several months for
the suspicious day to arrive, John
can at last begin work.

Wins By
Only One Run

For the first time since the oreaniza-
ton of the Freehold baseball club four
yea ago pitchers were used in the game
here Sunday with the ArdInore nine of
the Pennsylvania state league. The
Ardmore club substituted for the Up
land nine and Manager Gene Williams
was forced to use his entire pitching staff
to pull the game out of the fire. The
final score was II to 10 and there was one
out when the winning run was scored
on a hit by Deboskey in the ninth.
Thrills Of all kinds were provided
for the spectators turnout the nine
innings and especially in the last half
OF the sixth and seventh innings when
the two teams scored a total of Is runs.
In the first Timing with two out and
the visitors filling the bases Newman
made sensational catch of low
drive in center field that looked good
for triple. In recovering the ball New
man after grasping the pill rolled over
and over b 1T came up with the ball and
the crowd roared it's appreciation.
Deboskey started the pitching for
Freehold but lasted four innings.
O'Gurk went we'll until the seventh
when he walked seven men and forced
in two runs when he wasrelieved by
Vanderveer. Newman, however, was
brought in from ce inter- field and being
a left handler held theTvisitors safe and
received credit for the victory, the
score being tied when he began the
inning.
Fifteen hundred fans saw the game
and were well pleased with the result.

quested place to sleep for the night,
saying she bad no money and no place

Mr.. VanEngelen offered the barn

the woman there. Immediately upon
entering the barn door, he says, she

The woman left behind her hat of
black straw and $50 bill was found
on the ground near where the attack
was made.
1t is thought that the attack was
made with the idea of securing a large
sum of money which the attacked
man was alleged to have carried. Ow-l
ing to the strength exhibited by the
assailant some are inclined to think
that instead If being woman the
cplprit was man dressed in woman's

TWO WORKERS
ARE EXECUTED
IN BARCELONA
Ibanez Continues to Give
Out Interviews

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE Spanish mill
tary dictatorship executed two rebels
as sequel to the uprising Of the
Barcelona workers against the regime
Of Rivera and King Alfonso. Several
anarchists are held pending sentence.
The Spanish intellegenzia led by
Senior Ibanez deplored the Barcelona
affair, presumably because it had a
working class flavor. The Spanish
ambassador in Paris absolved Ibanez
from all blame for the Barcelona up
rising tho deploring the writer's at
lacks on King Alfonzo.
Ibanez purposes to introduce his
pamphlets into Spain by the under
ground system and also has the inten-
ton of distributing anti-monarchial
propaganda by airplane.
Primo de Rivera is said to have
10000 troops in Spain and approx
mately 100000 in Morocco.
