AUTUMN
NJ ID, O. PIATrm.

It e more than the mere name Of
Indian Summer that calls back to every
imaginative American mind the red
man who was here before US. In Me0i-
terranean lands one never quite for
gets that under the Springtirne SOD and
little daisies are the white bones Of
some Greek Corydon and his Phyllis.
The lamb. the goat. the blue borage and
the scarlet anemone, and green wheat
pushing up, bring Pan TO mind. and
fruitful Ceres. Many are the foikwAys
that are survivals Of the worship Of an
Gent pastoral gods.
But Autumn is the season Of our
Western world. It Is our one climatic
glory, when orange, gold and crimson
leaf, and whey weather, and mystical,
last late gentianS in the frosty grass,
together with o light blue haze and
squash and pumpkins rtpening on the
| crickety ground, are all strands IN .
tapestry more gorgeous than ever q
medieval needlewoman embroidered.
The squash. the pumpkin and the
corn, the dahlia, zinnia, cosmos mari
gold and sunfiower, the scarlet leaves Of
the kinnikinnick that the red man
smoked, no les than the tobacco leaf
all these were the Indians BEFORE tine
white man came. And In the corn
stacks on the wide, cleaned fields about
the city seem always to see his van.
ished wigwams.
But now those tents are struck; he
has gone westering, like the setting sun,
sinking down in o barbaric glory Of
maple and oak and sumac leaves in
Autumn tints. And yet, never see the
asters marching. shoulder to shoulder,
under the woods and over the hills,
without remembering that the red man
knew them, too, gave names to them,
perhaps. never see a thin, lilac spiral
of smoke rising from some country
house where a woman conjures up the
genii of fire against the GENT Of the flrst
frosty morning, without thinking Of the
campfires Of the departed race, or the
smoke rising solemnly from the long
pipe Of the savage. The feel Of corn
kernels in the hand, the rime Of frost
on a pumpkins ripe side, the rainy
sound of a gray squirrel jumping into
q leafy bough-he knew them all, as we
know them now. And so, in Autumn,
he never seems quite gone: his signal
fires arise In sunset mists and his blood
is in the crimson of the BURBERRY leaf.
In the humble, stopped stature Of
sun1ac bush I seem to see again his
beast Of burden--the Indian sQuaw.

Care of Minor Wounds.


In technical discussion of the treat
ment Of minor injuries before the 1927
clinical congress of the Connecticut
State Medical Society, Or. John j.
Moorhead, New York surgeon, gave
these essential factors In accident sur
gerry:
The maximum Of immediate care and
attention means the minimum Of dis
ability and deformity.
Antiseptics are Of limited value and
cannot take the place Of adequate ster-
nization obtained by plentiful use Of
soap and water.
Immediate complete suture Of wounds
10 q dangerous procedure.
Adequate rest Of injured parts is pro-
NOTED by Splintage and suspension.
Regulated active motion encourages
healing and minimizes necessity for
physiotherapy.
The first le hours usually determine
the outcome as thereafter the subacute
stage Is reached in most accidental
wounds or injuries.
Tight dressings promote stasis lead
ing to edema, and this in turn invites
infection or retards repair.
All punctured wounds of the hands
should be subjected to prolonged i'm
Inersion In soap and water, grease be-
ing first removed by gasoline, kerosene
or an automobile soap, the surgeon
teacher goes on to say. Next the tract
Of the puncture should be thoroughly
irrigated with some antiSeptic Of proved
value. DR.. Moorhead personally prefers
full strength tincture Of iodine and In
jects this with syringe If necessary
Next he applies a wet dressing of q
teaspoonful of tincture of iodine (new
spelling iodin) to pint of saline solu-
ton. That is solution of, say, table
spoonful of common salt in a pint OF
water that has been boiled. The hand
Is kept quiet with the proper splint

bandage or Sling) and another dressing
Of the same sort applied next day.
DR.. Moorhead says he has no great
faith in germ killers because all Of
them are deficient in actual use, for
they reach only the surface or super
fetal germs or infected tissues, and If
used in full strength XIII the tissues as
well as the germs. He believes the best
proof Of their inef1ciency is their num-
Der, each In turn being Wanted as the
latest and the best. From the ex-
travagant claims made for some Of
these medicines one might think the
medical profession had reached the
fiapper stage.
Bearing in mind the very particular
care and immediate attention which
this authority places first in his list
Of essentials In minor wound treat
ment, YOU may appreciate what mean
by "tin doctoring," which Is so much
done in commercial and industrial
plants, where nurses are hired at bot
tom prices to apply first aid in minor
injuries.
DR.. Moorhead declares that sunlight,
open air and sea water (the salt solIi-
ton above suggested Is an attempt to
initiate sea water) are Natures cures
and we should avail ourselves Of these
agencies when possible. If conditions
permitted, he would prefer to leave all
wounds open to the air, and he knows
that face and scalp wounds are more
benefited by no dressings than they
are by any kind Of dressing.

Evils in Confidential Chatter
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

prove herself friend by listening with
the greatest degree Of understanding
To impose or to encourage the continu-
a1ce OF troublesome confidential chatter
when nothing is to be gained either by
telling or listening. except the discom-
fort Of two instead OF one, Is neither
necessary nor helpful.
The one who Is sought as audience
to the tale OF woe can help to regulate
the matter II the other one does not.
Sometimes 1t Is too much encourage
ment In the giving of condolences which
causes the flow of them to increase,
When the point comes Is It usually
does when q promise mot to tell" Is
required, the conf1dante can express q
desire to diSclain any such responsible
tty. It is better, however, to divert the
trend of though before that time comes.
In addition to the inadvisability of
taking advantage of q sympathetic
listener In the confiding of troubles,
there is generally a change of heart
afterwards which makes the one con-
f1ding regret having been so outspoken.
To keep ones own council, even under
penalty Of being considered uncom-
municative, is the better choice Of
evils.
Those who are easily stimulated to
condolences should watch their STEP
when with friends whose attitude is
over-persuasive in regard to their max
ing Of personal revelations The i'm
pulse to tell everything that might
make good story, or engage the too
ready sympathy offered is to be guarded
against.
Unless there is a real point in in
dulging the impulse, more general
topics of conversation should be
sought at once. This is the safe course
to follow.

FAMOUS LADY WISECRACKERS
British Suffered From Sharp Tongues of American
Women During Revolution
BY J. r. GLASS.

It is pleasant to read about the ladies
Of Charleston, 8. c., during the difficult
days Of the Revolution, when their city
was In the possession Of the British
under Lord Rawdon.
They were the wittiest of the witty,
and the jests they made at the expense
Of the invaders wounded as deeply as
bullets.
The society of the Britishers was
something they could not avoid, but
they took pains to exact a toll for their
company.
Mrs. Anna Elliott was walking one
day in garden with an English officer
noted for his relentless persecution of
those opposed to his political views.
What flower is this, MADAME" he
inquired, pointing to camomile.
THE rebel flower" she replied.
"And why Is 1t called that?"
Because it dourisheS most when
trampled upon"
A British officer ordered Mrs. Sabina
Elliott's poultry houses to be plundered.
Later she discovered an old muscovy
drake which had escaped the plunderers
wandering about the premises.
She had the bird caught and sent It
posthaste to the ofi1cer by servant on
AOACCbuOh WIZ dLoO bOAC OILio uCSodSCs
MY compliments. In your hurry
you must have overlooked this fowl"
Mrs. Robert Brewton, native Of Ire
land and having real Irish wit, angered
her countrys enemies on more than
one occasion by her verbal shafts.
When she came into Charleston from
the country after Gen. Greene, the
American commander, had won several
successes, an English officer asked her
about the condition of things in the out
lying sections.
"Ah, sir" he replied, call nature
smiles, for everything is Greenel"
This bon mot procured her an imme-
diate order to quit the city.
The American ladies customarily
wore deep mourning in token of their
grief over British occupation. One day
when Mrs. Brewton was walking in
Broad street an enemy officer joined her
Just as she was passing the house of
Gov. Rutledge who had been compelled
to leave the city. She at once paused
to tie a piece of crepe torn from her
dress to the front railing of the house.
Gov. Rutledge'S home, as well as his
friends, should wear mourning for him. -
she said.

A Sermon for Today
Dispositions in Business.
BY REV. JOHN Z. GUM.

U1SpOSlClOuS Ia ouBAUCbSs
Text: "Be We kind one to another,
tender-hearted, forgiving one another."
-Eph. 4:32.
Kindness, r-heartedness, the for
giving spirit. To some it may seem
almost absurd to talk about these ex-
allied dispositions having any place IN
business relations. Many regard bust
thing to which only o temper Of Sc
verify Is suited. But this Is mistaken
idea. There is no reason why men en-
gagged In business should not be kind,
gentle and charitable.
It Is true that business involves com.
petition and rivalry. But that IL no
reason why business men should stand
over against each other like gunboats,
carrying deadly missiles" For men TO
be forever facing each other In q hos
tile attitude, with stern faces and drawn
fists, cannot but have q coarsening and
hardening influence upon their lives.
Whatever advantage may be gained by
this practice, If ever any, it cannot
compensate one for the I'll effects he
suffers In his heart and soul.
Competition in all lines Of business is
perhaps keener today than ever before.
And yet everywhere we see men who
nave learned 70 carry on business WITH
out any show Of hardness or unfriendlt-
ness. The man today recognized Is the
model business man Is he who in the
din and battle Of market and street
knows how to bear himself toward his
fellows with kindness, charity and gen.
eroSity. And 1t Is to such o man that
business yields It's highest rewards.
If you would be happy In your bust
ness life, II you would gain the most
desirable ends In business, be kind, ten
der-hearted and ready to forgive. No
where are these Christian dispositions
more appropriate or more effective for
all purposes than In the marts Of trade
and commerce.

always Hollerin'."

Thomas was q very naughty boy. His
mother and father and brothers and
sisters said so. His grandfather and
grandmother said so. Two aunts who
lived in the household said so, too. "A
very annoying, troublesome, idle child, "
said the teacher severely.
They were all right ct that. What
Thomas had not done to disturb the
harmony and peace Of his environ
ment, wherever It happened TO be, was
not worth mentioning. He had broken
the windows time without end. He
had broken the dishes and torn the cur
tains. He had helped himself to what
ever he wanted without regard to own
ership. His word was no more than q
breath and his temper as uncertain as
the weather.
"I can't stand him any longer, doctor.
You'll have to do something with him.
Lock him up. Put him away. Any
thing. I can't live with him day
longer" and the distressed mother
broke down and wept.
Thomas wiggled and squirmed and
twisted about like an eel. There was a
pucker Of pain between his eyes. His
face was pale. His body was plainly
undernourished. There was something
seriously wrong with the lad, that was
clear. But what? No organic disease.
