USE MORE MOTOR BUSES
Thousand of.Them Are Operated Over
Routes Totaling Fifteen
Hundred Miles.

Z. One thousand motor buses are now
operated by more than 100 electric
railways over routes tOtaling 1900
miles In the United States and Cana
da, according to a survey recently
completed by the editors of Bus
Transportation. The figures indicate
an increase of nearly 100 per cent
in the use Of busses by trolley compa-
MES since October 1, 1922. At that
time there were only fifty-six COM
panies operating $50 buses over 900
miles of highway. OF the 1000 buses
now in operation 225 are in the east
ern states. The western states are
rapidly approaching this figure, how
ever, with 200. Wisconsin has the
largest railway owned bus system in
the world. The Wisconsin Motor Bus
Lines inc, a subsidiary of the Mil
waukee Electric Light and Power
company, operates bus system which
spreads out like huge fan from
Milwaukee and covers 600 miles Of
highway. One hundred modern speed
BUSES are used on this system. The
next largest operation Is run jointly
by the Pacific Electric and the Los
Angeles railway on eleven routes in
southern California.

Two Million Lepsrs.

1t is estimated that there are
about 100000 lepers in the world.
half of whom are in China. The dis.
ease appears to be spreading among
the natives of Central Africa. but is
receding where modern methods Of
control and cure have been undertake
en- on any large scale. Science con-
firms the theory as old as Bible times
that the disease is spread by infection.
although prolonged exposure to the
disease is necessary, and that segre
cation Is one Of the most effective
methods of treatment. Definite cures
In many cases have followed the in
lection into the veins Of the active
principle Of chalmoogra oil. and It IL
now being used on an increasing, scale.
Similar preparations have also been
made recently from olive and from lin
seed oils. AS an illustration of what
modern sanitation and segregation Of
cases will accomplish. 1t is said the
number of cases in Norway has been
reduced from 1888 to 14O In sixty
years.

KERossM OF CAT IN AFRICA
Missionary Tells How His Pet Saved
Mine Kittens From Death In
Hail Storm.

A missionary to Africa tells this in
teresting story Of the unusual heroism
of cat he once owned. One day a
terrific hail storm came, the sort con-
corning which English and American
people know nothing. In a quarter of
an hour hail covered the ground to a
depth Of two feet Before the storm
began the missionary's three cats were
outside playing; they we're all mother
cats and had their kittens with them.
Immediately two of the mother cats
ran to shelter, never troubling about
the little ones, but the heroine Of the
story stood her ground. AS soon as her
master managed to go to her he found
that she had gathered not only her own
four babies, but all the others as we'll
nine in all, and had stood over them,
keeping them warm and safe, while
she was nearly frozen. She had nearly
died in saving them. for her poor sides
were terribly bruised by the heavy
hailstones. Carefully did the mission
AIRY wrap her in blankets and then ne
nursed her till she had recovered.
