BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PAINESVILLE, Ohio, Nov T.
With soldiers mounting its six To-
| comotives and guarding its right of
way, the small but important Fair
port, Painesville & Eastern Rail-
road resumed hauling war goods to-
day in the face of strike by "a
! men.
An Army engineer battalion, aug
mented by military police, moved in
on the roads 312-mile Fairport-
Painesville link at am. and with
in three hours had the locomotives
shutting supplies to and from chem
ical and magnesium factories near
Lake Erie
Continued delay in the delivery
OF vital raw materials would have
resulted Immediately in irreparable
damage to equipment in plants en-
gagged in essential war work." the
War Department said.
Strike Called Friday.
The strike was called Friday by
District so of the United Mine
Workers, which announced it repre-
sented maintenance, shop repair
| and section men, as we'll as car in
spectors. Maurice j. Dineen, re-
glonal director of the John L. Lewis
union, said the men were protesting
against employment of 30 non
union workers as train operating
crews.
Prospects for a settlement don't
look very good" Mr.. Dineen said.
He declared some District SO men,
bers at Diamond Alkali Co., one of
the war plants served by the rail-
road, were refusing to load cars.
The alkali plant makes various
chemicals. Other plants served by
the roads Fairport-Painesville Sec
ton are the Diamond Magnesium
Co., which recently went into pro-
duction OF magnesium ingots, and
the Industrial Rayon Co. At Paines-
vile the road connects with trunk
lines.
Other Efforts Fail.
L. D. Dixon, general manager Of
the road, referred inquiries to Army
officers, who said the soldiers were
ordered out only after other efforts
had been unsuccessful in restoring
operations. The War Department
said its control would continue "only
so long as and only to the extent
necessary" to protect and maintain
equipment.
Some of the soldier-prctected
locomotives were being operated by
the regular civilian trainmen against
whom the union maintenance men
are protesting, observers said. Mill
tary policemen in jeeps were watch
ing the right Of way, and a few
machine guns were observed.

These Chinese Are Queer?

For 40 centuries the Chinese have
earned the reputation of being the
most conservative people in the
world. They still do everything
backward-sO it seems to the oc-
cidental point of view.
Most people end their dinner with
dessert, but the Chinese begin theirs
with dessert. In China, the women
wear the paris and the men wear the
skirts. Women coil their hair in
knots and the men wear their hair
long. We pay a doctor when We
are sick; they pay the doctor when
they are well and stop paying them
when they are sick. Their spoken
language IS not written and their
written language is not spoken.
Their books are read backward:
their dreSsmakers are men and
:heir women carry the burdens.
While black is the customary
mourning garb, in China il is white
and bridesmaids wear black instead
of white. When two Chinese gen.
tlemen meet, they salute and each
OF them shakes his own hand in
stead of the friends.

Hundreds Of Thousands
Lives Saved by InsuIin

In May, 1921, Frederick Grant
Banting and Charles Herbert Best,
both graduates of the University of
Toronto. conducted the experiments
which eliminated with the discov-
cry of insulin.
That was epoCh-making work
The lives of nearly half a million
United States diabetes rest on it.
Two million more people now liV-
ing may develop diabetes before
they die-and will need this color
less fluid magic. 1t has bestowed
on human beings the richest of all
gifts-life itself Diabetic children
have won an additional 80 years; and
life expectancy of middle-aged
groups has been extended.
The original discovery of insuln
gave life and hope to people facing
certain doom. New work presents
experimental evidence that diabetes
can be prevented
Mans pancreas, shaped like q
polywog, lies just back of the
stomach. 1t serves a dual function
1t secretes a daily pint and half
OF digestive fluid which it pours into
the small intestine More vital, the
gland secretes minute quantities OF
another substance which if emp
ties directly into the blood stream
This is the hOrmone inSulin.
Insulin is manufactured by tiny
island cells, each independent Of
the other. The average pancreas.
small organ though it is, contains
from $50, 600 to a million and a quar-
ter of these islet cells. The insulic
they secrete governs the body's
utilization of sugar. When adequate
insulin is present, sugar is burned
rapidly into energy. When it isn't.
the body wastes away and the sui
ferer lives constantly with an un-
quenchable thirst, an unappeasable
hunger. Poisonous matter resulting
from the incomplete utilization of
fats accumulates in the blood. So
does unburned sugar. If the condi-
ton goes unattended-if insulin isn't
given by hypodermic-coma and
death follow.

ing for his breakfast some distance
away, on the Green Meadows, when
Redtail the Hawk had tried SO nara
to catch Danny Meadow Mouse.
Reddy's sharp eyes had seen RED
tail the minute he left the tree In
pursuit of Danny, and he had known
by the way Redtail flew that ne
saw something he wanted to catch'
He had watched Redtail sWoop down
and had heard his scream VI rage
when he missed Danny because Dan
ny had lodged into the old tomato
can. He had seen Redtall strike
and strike again at something IN the
ground and finally fly off IN disgust
with empty claws.
Now, | wonder what It was Reo-

dy Fox, and off he started at a
smart trot toward the patch OF SNORT
grass, where he had seen Redtall
the Hawk striking at something on
the ground. AS he drew near he
crept very softly until he reached
the very edge of the open patch.
There he stopped and looked sharp
ly all over it, There was nothing
to be seen but an old tomato can
dropped there by Farmer Brown S
Boy on his way nome from fishing
in the Smiling Pool long time be-
fore. Reddy had seen the old can
many times before.
Nov, what under the sun could
Redtail have been after here?
thought Reddy The grass isn't
long enough for a grasshOpper to
hide in, and yet Redtail didn't get
what he was after. It's very queer.
It certainly is very queer"
He trotted out on to the patch OF
short grass and began to run back
and forth with his nose to the
ground, hoping that his nose would
tell him what his eyes couldn't.
Back and forth, back and forth. he
ran and then suddenly he stopped.
Hal" exclaimed Reddy He had
found the scent left by Danny Mead
ow Mouse when he ran across to-
ward the old tomato can. Right up
to the old can Reddy's nose led
him. He hoped over tie old can,
but on the other side he could find
no scent of Danny Meadow Mouse.
In a fash he understood and a
CLEAN of satisfaction shone in his
yellow eyes as he turned back to
the old can. He knew that Danny
must be hiding in there.

snarled, as he shifted at the open

Mummi6ed Miniature
Man Found in Rockies

One of the most unique anthro.
biological finds ever recorded on this
continent was made in October.
1882, in the Pedro mountains, a
chain of the Rockies, about IS miles
southwest of Casper, Wyo., by two
gold prospectors, Frank Carr and
Cecil M. Main. These men were
blasting with dynamite in gulch
at the foot of one Of the chains of
mountains comprising rugged
range. The explosion opened up a
natural cave approximately Is feet
long by four feet wide and four
feet deep. Upon closer investiga-
ton, Main discovered, after crawl
ing on his hands and knees through
the small opening, an archaeological
freak in the form of a mummifed
miniature man, squatting on a
rocky ledge with arms folded, head
bowed slightly and legs in a semi
kneeling posture.
The little pygmy measures 61a
inches in its squatting position, ap-
proximately 18 to 20 inches in
standing position, weighs three
fourths of a pound, but is thought
to have been much heavier in life.
The noticeable features are the
bronze skin, low forehead, fat nose,
fiat, unintelligent head with fringe
of black and gray hair. The sex of
the specimen is plainly masculine,
with its determining organs well
preserved 1t has full set of teeth
and its eyes, although glazed, ap-
pear distinctly. 1t is estimated that
the pygmy was approximately s.
years old at death. There are
noticeable traces of very fine hair
on the body An X-ray picture

tebrae and all other identifiable
bones of the body even to the
muscles. The left clavicle bone
shows a fracture and marks on the
body indicate that death undoubted
ly resulted from wounds. Also dis
cernible by X-ray is the food in the
stomach, which appears 10 have
been raw meat. The teeth in the
front of the mouth are pointed anc
of the fesh-eating variety.
