the courts viii get right behind

And they won't charge her cent.
England has recently RECALLED as
with two particularly touching ex-
amples Of this practice. A GER
tain young man, having become
engaged, found that his love had
the temper of q highly hysterical
bIlzz-saW. The least unpleasant-
ness set the lady to mutflating
the furniture and insulting all the
bystanders, especially those who
happened to be members OF the
young mans family. He stood it
as long as he could. then broke
his engagement, whereupon the
young lady promptly sued him
for breach Of promise.
She made no plea In court that
she didn't have temper as al
legged. In fact she cheerful!y
acknowledged it and exhibited
samples of the same. Neverthe-
less the judge awarded her the
sum asked.
For" said he, bad temper Is
one of the certain hazards of
matrimony and is not sufficient
reason Tor breaking the engage
ment.'
Even more remarkable is the
case of the young man who broke
his engagement on eugenic grounds
because he discovered that his
prospective wife was tubercular.
Again the judge sympathized with
the lady and gave her the dam
ages. These the young man
wrathfuny paid, saying that 1T
was cheap at that. I may have
to pay her a little money but at
least I'll be spared the horror OF
seeing my children suffering In
hospitals"
Promptly the outraged judge
fined him for contempt Of court!
These cases, while sensational.
are not more so than scores OF
other cases which constantly file

NOTED CHIEF
is DEAD

HHIEF CURLEY BEAR, notable
~ Blackfoot Indian Of bow and
arrow days. Is dead at the age of
75 years. With Chief White Calf
he negotiated for his tribe the
sale of that portion of the Rocky
Mountain region known as Glacier
National Park, to the United
States government In 1898. The
Government at that time wanted
the land because it was believed
to contain vast copper wealth.
The purchase price was 81, SOC, 900,
which the Indians to this day
are still trying to collect.
In his latter life CurIey Bear
was an enthusiastic exponent Of
agricultural education and it gave
him great joy to see the younger
Indians working farms on the
prairie where he used to hunt
buffalo. Chief Curley Bear never
learned to speak English.

BOILING MEAT
PROPERLY

THO boil a piece of meat, it is
i explained in Sir William III.
trainers recent book. "a Manual
of Hygiene" the joint should be
plunged for a few minutes into
boiling water. so as to seal up
the surface by coagulating the
proteins. thus preventing the es-
cape of the soluble proteins into
the water, of which as little as
possible should be used. The
further cooking should be carried
out at at emperature just below
10 degrees F. In roasting high
temperature should be maintained
at first, in order to seal the sur
face by coagulating the proteins.
When this has been done the re-

SCIENCE
By Garrett P. Seryiss

; What I should advise would be
that a local society or association,
be formed to take charge Of the
telescope, to hold, perhaps, peri
odical meetings for discussion of
astronomical subjects, to subscribe
for astronomical periodicals, and
to maintain a small astronomical
library. If there Is already a
public library in the town some
relationship should be establ ished
with it.
There. would be plenty of oc-
currences in the heavens to con-
centrate interest upon the town
telescope-eclipses, comets, plan
cts in favorable positions for OBJ
serVation, sunspots, etc. 1t would
be a beacon radiating its infIu-
ence far around; a notable place
in any township or county.
Graphic instruction
L should like to repeat the sug-
gest that collection Of objects
of natural history, particularly
those characteristic Of the local
ity, would be Of great benefit to
popular instruction in any con-
siderable community People in
general know very little OF geol-
ogy, ornithology, botany, etc.

Details Fix Cost

The size of the telescope, the
amount and quality Of the equip
ment, the locality and many other
details would govern the actual
cost. What I should do would
be to get estimates from some Of
the makers of telescopes and
builders OF astronomical struc-
lures, of whom there are several
In this country, whose addresses
may be found in any business di-
rectory.
OF course. the telescope being
once obtained and mounted under
proper shelter, thought should be
taken concerning it's care and
management. AS a library needs
librarian, SO an observatory
needs at least an amateur astrono-
mer to superintend it's use. THIS
is another item which may or
may not be q source OF expense,
according to circumstances.

A CITIZEN Of Port Clinton, Ohio.
IA referring to my suggestion
that, in connection with local pub
lie libraries, which are now so COM
mon, small cities and towns should
have astronomical telescopes and
natural history collections for pop.
ular use and instruction, writes as
follows:
ut is my belief that our commu-
nifty would appreciate an oppor-
tunity of studying astronomy IL
there was a possibility of having
the proper equipment, and l am
hoping that may receive some ad.
vice from you. as to how to pro-
coed with such an organization:
also information as to the probable
cost of equipment"
If were going to lead an effort
to establish a popular astronomical
observatory in a community Of a
few. thousand people, I would begin
by consulting number of the most
intelligent and influential inhabit-
ants OF the town and endeaVor to
secure their interest and support,
not necessarily in a pecuniary
sense, for the undertaking. If
had reasonable success, the next
step would be governed by the
amount of money available.
That. Of course. would depend
upon many variable circumstances.
l am unable to name the details of
cost; but five-inch telescope firmly
mounted and with necessary acces-
series. should think might be
had for around one or two thous-
and dollars. That would be about
the lower limit of size for such an
instrument. 1t would have to be
housed. and the building would cost
probably at least another thousand
or two. But these are mere guesses,
intended only to show that the
undertaking need not be a very

The story of how a large number
of Government employees stand to lose
to 8 cents year from their speci-
fed salaries by the adoption of new
salary table in the general accounting
office for the guidance of disbursing
officers in making up pay rolls came
to light today. The 'new system will.
at the same time, add substantial
sum to the Treasury.
Prior to the adoption of this new
table on July /. if an employees an
nual salary could not be divided into
even amounts for each pay day the
odd pennies were given him on GER
tain pay days during the year, so
that at the end of IL months he had
receiVed the actual amount due.
Old Rule Abandoned.
With the passage of the amended
retirement law it became necessary to
prepare a new salary table to show
the increased deductions for the re-
tirement fund and, according to those
who have studied the new table. it
does not retain the old rule of giving
certain pay days in cases where the
salary cannot be worked out to an
even amount for each month.
For example, the new table shows
that an employe listed for 81 400 an
nually would be paid at the rate of
$116.66 a month mot allowing for
the deduction for the retirement fund.-.
If $116.66 is multiplied by - months
it gives $1,399.92 for the year, or
s cents less than $1.400.
The new system is aimed at simpli-
flying administration work by giving
employees an even number of dollars
on the fifteenth Of the month and the
balance of their monthly wage at the
end of the month, but the amount re-
ceived on the fifteenth and the
amount they receive on the thirtieth
Is uniform throughout the year.
Loss of 4 or 8 Cents.
According to persons who have
studied the new tables. this UNI
formity in pay rolls throughout the
year means the dropping of

Although prohibition never was

a big place in the decision of the
governors race. The Anti-SaloOn
League of Arkansas declined to for
mally indorse any candidates, but Rev.
Paul f. kemper. State superintendent
of the league, later issued a letter
sent to ministers in which he charged
that Judge Martineau was a wet"
and inferentally urged the ministers
TO work for the re nomination of GOV.
Terral.
To this was added the constantly
reiterated charge of Gov. Terral that
Judge Martineau frequently had used
intoXicantS since taking office. The
Martineau forces also charged that
the governor had accepted personal
insurance business. that the paid
board in charge of State institutions
were not functioninG properly and
that there had been gross misuse OF
power.
