Simple Exercise for
Adding to Ones Height

Abraham Lincoln was O feet 4
inches tall Washington was 6 feet,
2. There can be no doubt that large
men, physically, have a great advan-
tage yer small men, other things be-
Ing equal, says a writer in the Wash
ington Star.
We knew Il man small physically,
but able Intellectually, who found his
lack of inches a great disadvantage.
He went on q shoemaker's bench
when thirteen years old. which I'M
d%oubtedly stunted his physical
growth. and so was handicapped
all his life. He had a grandson who
as a boy was understood and feared
he was TO be physically like his
grandfather. But that learned man
suggested to him that he get into the
habit of stretching out to his full
length whenever he went to bed. He
did that, and almost Immediately be-
gan to grow taller. In a few years
he became stalwart. and is now about
6 feet tall. BY taking thought he
increased his size, beyond n doubt.
One of his playmates, who loomed
above him before he entered his
teens, is a short man.
We suggest this TO all boys who
are backward in growth, as a posi-
BILE way to grow tall. with all its adj
vantages In later life.

Footprints Held to Be
Millions of Years Old

Footprints left on a muddy shore
by some of the first feet that ever
walked the earth recently were
brought to Mount Union college. Al
lance, Ohio, by Prof. George #.
Lamb of the geology department.
The soft mud on which the long-gone
animal walked was buried and ages
ago hardened into stone. The five
foot slab recording their passage was
found on a farm In Ohio.
The animals were members of the
primitive amphibian family called
Stegocephalidae, which came ashore
and walked some two hundred mill
lion years ago.
There were 80 species OF this fam
lily In the Coal ages, but the whole
stock vanished as long as 125, 900, 600
years ago, according to Science
Service. They all seem to have been
short-legged, elongated creatures
with armored skulls. The slab shows
that the animal which made these
tracks had four toes on each front
foot and five on each hind foot. One
of the interesting things about them
was their third "eye." All well-pre-
served skulls Of these animals have
a small hole In the roof bones over
the brain. Rudiments of this open
ing can be distinguished ever now In
the brains Of all vertebrates, includ-
ing man.-Literary Digest.

CERTAIN tax increases written into

passed by that body are regarded by
house leaders as quite undesirable.
Chairman Doughton of the Ways and

entirely outside the original intent of

fight against them vas planned In con-
ference.
When the measure reached the SEN

TO produce SOS. 100000 a year In new
revenue, chiefly by stopping the loop
holes through which legal tax avoid
ance had been possible.
The bill fell quickly into the hands
of the senate "liberal' element. and
provisions were inserted to add S2o0.-
100000 TO the yield provided by the
house. Also, the senate inserted the
provision for publicity of all income

many times but usually knocked out
before final enactment.
