(New Haven Journal -Courier)
 Human beings must be getting used to the noise of the modern age. They are losing taste for the sounds which are natural to rural sections. This trend is nos ticed in q news item from Dover. New Jersey, where citixens of c residential district have asked the state board Of health and , the New hoip rid the vicinity of crickets. The complaints have been many, Seemingly the crickets have made great noise for several nights; tn doing this they have incurred the wrath of the people who tried to get sleep in nearby homes.
 It ought 10 be remembered, nrsi of al that the erieksts arc singina the last song ef summer Soon

Several Ontario, Canada. residents didn't believe it necessary to look at the recent eclipse of the sun with dark glasses or some such protection. As result they are now under the care of eye specialists with pe- culiar ailment Clearly outlined on the back of eyes of several residents who gazed at the natural phenomenon for two hours without glasses are. creseents of the sun. They are suffering from what is known as loss of central vision".. This impairment is said to be only temporary and is adjus- able with time It appears as if it might be wiser in the long run for all eclipse gazers to be forearmed when they are forewarned.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Meaning of Therapy

am at a loss to understand the difference between the practice of medicine and the prac- tice of physical therapy. (M. E. S.)
 Answer-Therapeutics is the science and art of the choice and application of remedies for disease. Physical therapy includes the use Of heat, cold massage, exercise, manipulations, electricity, baths, rest, X-ray, sunlight, ultra- violet lamps etc, as distinguished from the use of medicines, chemicals. drugs, serums vac- cines, diet and surgery.

!" MOUNTIES" TO MOTOR

From Winnipeg comes the disconcerting news that the famed Canadian "Mounties," officially designated as the Royal Northwest Mounted Po- lice of Canada, are to be de- prived of their horses and will hereafter pursue the elusive lawbreaker in motor cars,
 Thus the glamour and TO- nance of the most efficient and picturesque body of police in the world fades away. For a "Mountie" without his horse becomes merely another p3l:: e. man-still efficient, but en- tirely prosaic-another victim of the machine age.
 The Northwest Mounted Po- lice were organized in 1873 to cope with lawlessness in the Canadian Northwest, the orig inal force of 150 men being soon increased to 300. They were the first rural police in North America. In recent years their number has been about 700, carefully selected for their intelligence, courage. fine horsemanship and high character. Enlistments are for five years, and they may retire after 20 years of service, or if incapaciated after 15 years.
 No similar force ever per formed the duties assigned with greater efficiency and fi- delity. It is tradition that the Northwest Mounted always get their man." They have been the terror of evil-doers in their nearly 60 years of exist ence, and many true stories of their brilliant and daring ex- ploits have been told.

AN OLD FASHIONED GAL

What is declared to be the oldest known specimen of the American girl was discovered recently in Ottertail County, Minnesota, and scientists have been studying her ever since. They have only her skeleton !.o aid their investigations, but this has proved most interesting.
 According to Dr. E. A. Jenks, anthropologist of the Univers- ity of Minnesota, the skeleton s that of a prehistoric Indian girl, who was about IT years old at the time of her death, which occurred some 10000 years ago as a result of vio- lence, perhaps murder. Evi- dences that an arrow or spear had pierced her breast were given by marks on the ribs and shoulder blade. Her youthful skeleton, marvelously pr e. served, was found in a strata of earth said to have been at the bottom of a lake which ex- ;sted during the Ice Age. With the bones were found shell orn- aments.
 It is said that this old-fash- toned girl twas mongoloid in her features, and her rounded nose openings indicate closer relationship to the apes than is the case with modern woman. The find is described as one of the most important eve r brought to light in North America, from a scientific standpoint.
