many different ways that one loses
sight of the similarity in cut.
Among the most striking Of new ar
rivals are those made Of black satin,
figured in bold, futuristic patterns in
vivid colors, or in conventional flow
ers-tulips for instance-in strong
colors. Figured chiffons are posed
over thin silks and bordered with
plain satin in these vivid negligees.
Softer colors appear in Powered chif-
fon showing big flowers against plain
ground In light colors, as yellow, rose,
blue or green. Plain chiffon is used to
border these figured patterns and Is
chosen to match the color in the back
ground. Just as colorful, but less airy,
are negligees Of taffeta or of satin,
and many light Powered silks are
represented in the collections.

MATHEMATICAL FREAKS


MATURE in her unending variety
~ has produced and probably will
continue to produce all kinds Of
strange and surprising freaks. Men
and women seven and eight feet tall,
dwarfs that at twenty-five or thirty
years of age are only as many inches
tall, children with six fingers or toes
or with two thumbs, with three legs,
even with tails are occasionally seen.
Apparently nature gets tired of al
ways following the same pattern, and
so produces an occasional variation.
But If the physical freaks are as
tonishing, what shall we say about the
mental freaks These are quite as
common as the variations in body
structure. Almost every one has
heard of these strange cases. Fifty
years ago one of the attractions on
the lyceum platform was blind ne
gro uneducated and unframed who
could reproduce on the piano any mu-
steal composition, simple or intricate,
which he had heard only once. Blind
Tom was taken all over the world to
demonstrate his wonderful skill AL
most every generation produces a
blindfOld chess player.
To the same class belong those math-.
ematical prodigies which occasionally
appear, who are able in few seconds
to give the correct answer to difficult
problems which would require hours
of work on the part of the most expert
mathematician.
In a recent article In the London
Evening Standard DR.. Eric Purden
of England discusses mathematical
prodigies, what produces them, and
how they are able to do things far
beyond the average normal mind.
In DevOnshire about a century ago,
says Doctor Purden, there was born
a boy, George Bidder, who, when he
was five years old, was able to give
correct answers to any mathematical
question. He could give the square
and cube root of any number and
could add long columns Of figures sim
ply by looking at them. Later on
Thomas John. son of a Welsh labor
err with no education at all, showed
the same peculiar gift. Others have
since been found.
Strangely enough they are generally
boys in no way unusual otherwise
and, practically without exception,
sons of ignorant parents. Is this as
tonishing ability due to different brain
from other boys or to a remarkable
ability for using 1t in some ways?
Doctor Purden calls it the subcon-
scious mind. Why don't we all have
"subconscious minds? Perhaps we
shall! some day.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Blood Analysis Helps Doctor in Diagnosis

The doctor who used to feel his
patients pulse or gaze into gaping
mouth to determine the cause of ILL
ness nowadays takes a drop Of blood
to analyze. The guilt for much of
human suffering has been traced to
the germs, tiny but deadly, which
force their entrance into the human
body. and which can only be detected
by such analysis.
''Blood tests provide us with clews
to an ever-growing number Of all
ments," said doctor to the writer.
SIT Is being found, for instance, that
eye complaints are often due to the
absorption of germs which have at
fected other parts of the body. such
as the tonsils. We can often detect
them by testing the blood.

THE public hospital of today, like
= the public library, has been an
evolution and recent development.
Libraries for centuries were rare and
expensive institutions. They were
usually owned and developed by the
church and were used only by the few
learned men who were able to read
the Latin and Greek manuscripts
which they contained. The idea Of
real public library, belonging to and
run for the benefit of the general pub
lie, is a comparatively recent one.
So the idea of a public hospital, be-
longing to and run for the mass Of
the people, is also recent. Hospitals
in former generations were few and
were founded by religious orders,
charitable individuals or societies for
the shelter and care of the poor, the
sick or the crippled. 1t is only re-
Gently that we have realized that ev-
cry community and every individual
should have the services of modern
hospital, not only to care for the
sick persons In that community, but
also as center Of the health work OF
the neighborhood.
In a recent issue of the Public
( Health Reports published by the Unit
ed States public health service. ap-
pears an article on the Community
Responsibilities of Hospitals" by DR..
E. II. Lewlnski-C orwin of New York, In
which the duties and activities Of the
present-day community hospital are
outlined. .4st- sabn
A community hospital, as defined by
Doctor Lewinski-C orwin, is hospital
which Is the property of the commu-
nifty in which it is located and in
which no profit of any kind can accrue
to the hospital corporation. 1t exists
not for private profit but for the gen
era! good: 7-''.', .. ~. = tn
The first necessitySfor such a hos
pital is that 1t shall follow definite
policy as far as the community is con-
cerned. This means that its princi-
pal object should be to benefit the
town or neighborhood in which 1t Is
located.
In order to give all the patients in
the hospital the best possible care the
staff should be selected on the basis of
merit and ability alone.
Probably the point where the pub
lie comes in contact with the hospital
is with regard to the nursing. The
modern trained nurse is new prod
uct. She is the most efficient person
for the care of the sick that has yet
been developed She Is often criticized
as being autocratic and dictatorial.
Sometimes there may be some ground
for this criticism. But the busy and
hard-worked nurse cannot always take
the time to explain why she does ev-
erything in certain way. The real
test of the trained nurse and the mod
ern hospital is the result.

Chapter V-Continued

It may be that Umisk saw him. It
may be that very soon the story OF
his adventure was known by all the
inhabitants of Beaver Town. For
when Baree came upon Umisk eating
his supper of alder bark that evening,
Umisk stood his ground to the last
inch, and for the first time they
smelled noses. At least BARGE shifted
audibly, and plucky little Umisk sat
like rolled-up sphinx. That was the
final cementing Of their friendship
on Baree's part. He capered about
extravagantly for few moments, tell
ing Umisk how much he liked him, and
that they'd be great chums. Uraisk
didn't talk. He didn't make move
until he resumed his supper. But ne
was companionable looking little fell
low. for all that. and Baree was hap
pier. than he had been since the day
he left the old windfall.
That friendship. even though It out
wardly appeared to be quite one-sided,
was decidedly fortunate for Umisk.
When Baree was at the pond, he al
ways kept as near to Umisk as pos
sible, when he could find him. One
day he was lying in patch Of grass,
half asleep. while Umisk busted him
self in a clump of alder-shoots few
yards away. 1t was the warning
crack Of beaver tail that fully
reused BARGE; and then another and
another, like pistol-shots. He jumped
up. Everywhere beavers were scurry-
ing for the pond.
Just then Umisk came out of the al
ders and hurried as fast as his short,
fat legs would carry him toward the
water He had almost reached the
mud when a lightning flash of red
passed before Baree's eyes in the
afternoon sun, and in another instant
Napakasew-the he-fox-had fastened
his sharp fangs in Umisk's throat.
Baree heard his little friends agonized
cry; he heard the frenzied flap-flap-
flap of many tails-and his blood
pounded suddenly with the thrill Of
excitement and rage.
AS swiftly as the red fox himself,
Baree darted to the rescue. He was
as big and as heavy as the fox. and
when he struck Napakasew, 1t was
with a ferocious snarl that Pierrot
might have heard on the farther side
of the pond, and his teeth sank like
knives into the shoulder of Umisk's
assailant. The fox was of a breed of
forest highwaymen which kills from
behind. He was not fighter when 1t
came fang-to-fang, unless cornered-
and SO fierce and sudden was Baree's
assault that Napakasew took to flight
almost as quickly as he had begun his
attack on Umisk.
Baree did not follow him, but went
to Umisk, who lay half in the mud,
whimpering and snuffiing in curious
sort of way. Gently Baree nosed him,
and after moment or two Umisk got
up on his webbed feet, while fully
twenty or thirty beavers were making
a tremendous fuss in the water near
the shore.
After this the beaver pond seemed
more than ever like home to Baree.

 Estate Worth $57,717

New York. Nov. 22 lP)-Tbe con- test over the will of Abe Hunmel. notorious criminal lawyer, brought by Henry D. Hummel of South Port land, Maine. who claims to be his son, has been settled out of court.
 This became known today when the contest was called for trial be- fore Surrogate Foley. Attorneys for Henry Hummel, in announcing that a settlement had been reached, did not disclose the amount
 Hummel died in England, where he went after his conviction on crim- inal charges. He specialized in di- vorce actions. At the time of his death he was reputed to have been worth more than million dollars, but a recent appraisal of his estate disclosed that it was valued at only S56,717.
 Hummel was known as a bachelor. Shortly after his death, Henry Hum- mel, a bakery wagon driver, con- tended that he was son of the lawyer and Leila Farrel, an actress. He added that the marriage was secret one.
