Alert grandmothers often act as

The young rams form a junior
club, keeping slightly away from their
elders and in full sight Of their moth
ers and the younger generation. When
young bachelor decided he wishes
to wed, he fights his way into the
rams club.
At courting time all the rams who
had been on the best of terms for
months, now become hostile toward
each other. A burly ram will estab-
lish a harem for himself of 80 or
more wives. The squabbling and
quarreling interests the ewes not at
all. The courtship period usually be-
gins in late November or December
and lasts for six weeks.
One baby or maybe twins are born

woolly lamb. When he is 10 days
old he is about 10 inches high at
his shoulders and weighs about
pounds. Every ounce of him is play

weaned. He sticks very close to his
mother and seems quite astonished
when a new baby arrives. Still he
stays with his mother and all the
younger lambs the following year. But
the arrival of the next baby is too
much and he joins the husky young
bachelors: but still in sight of his
mother, cousins and grandmother.

as to give a type hand with the de-

whence the name of the well-known
game of cards"
You can see the ramiications
opened up by that statement. A great
many philosophical deductions could
be drawn and few moral remarks
made about today's game. Unfortun-
ately for Mr. MacKay, Funk & Wag-
nails and a few encyclopedias assure
me that whist was originally known
as whisk. That derivation leaves me
absolutely cold. Did one whisk the
cards off the table or did one whisk
ones partner out of the room? No,
whisk lacks something that whist has.
Unfortunately, I am unable to dis
cover by a cursory investigation how
whist turned into bridge. There Is
an interesting legend to account for
1t which I hereby present for what
1T Is worth. 1t seems that two couples
lived on opposite sides of a small
stream in England. They were in
yeterate whist fiends and used to
travel back and forth to each others
houses for a friendly game. Nat
urally, there was small bridge over
the stream, and they grew into the
habit of saying "It's your bridge to-
night" or "our bridge" Whether
these players were some Of the first
to change over from Hoyle to Caven-
dish and adopt the latter's auction, ="
I do not know, but we may assume,
for the purposes Of argument. that
they were, and that they are respon-
sible for the terminology Of the game.

Whenever laboratory facil- ities are used, the specimen should be delivered at once and the laboratory advised in advance by telephone if possible. Deliv- cry of the specimen by messenger is much preferable to mailing the specimen.
 If the family physician Is called promptly then the patient may benefit from the results of serum treatment if the case proves to be one of lobar pneumonia of either Type l or Type 9, Mir Mickle stat. ed. Those are the only types for which as yet sera. for treatment are available, but these two types include about half of all cases of lobar pneumonia. Experimental studies are being made in New York city and elsewhere that give promise in the not too distapt fu- ture of serums for the treatment of other types of pneumonia also.

New Pneumonia Test
 Gives Good Results
State Laboratory Directors Explains How Specimens
 Are Quickly Matched for Type

Laboratory method for dIstin. gushing between various types of lobar pneumonia in the newly adopted Neufeld reaction test, made in order that the proper anti-pneumonia serum may be ad. ministered to the patient, was de- scribed to-day by Friend Lee Mickle, director of the Bureau of Laboratories of the State Depart ment of Health, in the depart ments weekly broadcast. The new method should make state or hos pital laboratory diagnosis possible within an hour after receipt of the specimen of sputum, he declared.
 In making the test the bac- teriologist in the laboratory or the physician at f"e bedside places Q number of S fieclks of sputum upon a l &S ,slass microscopic slide. By L.. side of each one is placed an equal amount of rabbit serum that Is type-specific for one of the types of pneumonia germs and the two tiny drops are thor oughly mixed and stained a blue color. After four or five minutes the reaction has taken place and the preparation Is examined through the high powered oil- immersion lens of the microscope. A positive reaction is obtained with the variety or type of germs producing the pneumonia. In posi- tive reactions there is "quellung" phenomenon and the capsule sur rounding the pneumococcus swells to many times It's original size, presenting under the microscope a distinctly ground-glass Appearance. No swelling occurs with types of germs that do not correspond to the type of rabbit sermum used for testing.
 Because it is most essential to have a diagnosis of pneumonia nt the earliest possible moment, Mir Mickle called attention to the fact that a physician should be called early when there is possibility

A MERICA must stop mining its forests and be-

Excessive cutting OF timber is one of the ways
in which mankind is upseting the balance of nature
to such an extent that he is importing his control
of the earth. Prof. Taylor believes.
Several years ago, he continues. eminent author
tiles raised the question of whether America ought
to mine" its timber resources, a process sure to
lead to their exhaustion, Or crop them like other
products of the soil
At that time, the timber resources of the nation
had been reduced from original stand of more
than 100000 100000 board feet to approximately
10000 100000 feet of virgin timber plus GOO 000,
