MANY WAR VICTIMS STILL
UNDER RED CROSS CARE.
For some, the war has never end-
ed. Some will never be whole-limbed
or strong in health again. That dev-
astating enemy—mental illness—has
blighted the lives of many. For more
than one would think possible, the
experiences that some soldiers had in
those months of the World war prior
to Nov. 11, 1918, have left their per-
manent mark, making them unable
to cope successfully with the high-
tensioned, competitive business world.
It will probably surprise many that
the Red Cross care of the disabled
ex-service man has not decreased, and
that the Red Cross, like the Veterans’
Bureau, does not even expect a de-
crease until 1932! This is accounted
for by the fact that a discharged
soldier may go about for many years
and then suddenly find that tubercu-
losis has settled upon him or that
eye-strain has developed, or a gun-
shot would again become troublesome.
Or his nerves, over-wrought by the
tension of those ghastly months of
war, cannot stand the noise and rack-
et of modern business life.
Only last year, 7,100 ex-service men
were admitted to hospitals for the
first time, about half due to incipient
tuberculosis in the ninth year after
the war. This was an increase of 2,-
526 over the previous year. The num-
ber suffering from mental diseases,
the majority of whom must stay in
hospitals permanently, has shown a
steady increase since the war! The
number of appeals and death and in-
surance claims handled by the Red
Cross has increased more than 100
per cent. in five years!
When the Red Cross entered the
World War to care for the American
soldiers, it made its promise to the
American public “to see the whole
job through.” In New York City this
is done by several departments—
Home Service and Medical Social
Service, the Claims Department, the
Employment Bureau, the Red Cross
Club and the always willing Volunteer
Department.
A veteran applies for a job in all
confidence, then later on finds he
cannot undertake it as he could be-
fore the war. He loses one job after
another, becomes discouraged, finds
that a disturbing cough has developed
and has neither the money nor the
time for treatments. :
It is then that the Red Cross steps
in. It sends him to a hospital to be
examined and, if necessary, cared for.
While he is there the Volunteer De-
partment sees that he is comfortable,
arranges special diet, if that is call-
ed for, brightens his day with maga-
zines and small gifts, gives parties
and entertainments to while away the
weary hours. Meanwhile, his family
is being looked out for by the Red
Cross Home Service Department,
thereby relieving his mind of the
worry of what is happening to them
while he is laid up. The entire fam-
ily problem is studied, readjustments
made, financial help given along with
experienced advice.
The Red Cross Medical Social Ser-
vice Department traces back the dis-
abled man’s case and if it is found
that his disability is due to the war.
the Claims Department takes up his
case and, if he has legitimate claim
Poainss the Government, prosecutes
it.
No practicing attorney is allowed
to appear before a Government board
to try a soldier’s case for a claim.
This law is designed, of course, to
protect the ex-service man from
grasping lawyers. The Government
therefore looks to the Red Cross for
proof of the man’s disability and its
connection with the war. The burden
of proof is naturally upon the veter-
an. In many cases he does not know
how to present his proofs, and often
times has neither the time, strength
nor money to do so alone. The New
York City Red Cross office success-
Tully adjusted 869 claims last year.
Fifty per cent. of the New York
City Red Cross budget is spent for
the care and help given to sick and
disabled ex-service men and their
families. The Employment Bureau
placed 674 men last year in positions.
This number may not seem enormous,
unless one realizes that often the dis-
abled ex-veteran must be placed not
once, or twice, but often five or six
times—until at last the round peg is
no longer in the square hole.
Ten years ago this November, when
New York City, with the rest of the
country, went mad with joy, nothing
was too good for our returning he-
roes, no honor too great. But the
real patriot is he who still can ecar-
ry high the torch of duty though the
sound of martial music has ceased.

ganization invites every one from

Short Winter is Predicted.
Dr. J. W. Sweeney of St. Marys has
turned weather prophet. He stated
that the coming winter is not to be
an extremely hard one but that the
worst part of it would be the first
part. Dr: Sweeney has noticed for
a great many years about the 20th
of October the brown caterpillar
travels south in great numbers, and
that on Friday of last week the road
between St. Marys and Ridgway was
well covered over with them and all
slowly crawling across from the
north to the south side, and as the
time of crossing this year is about
three days later than last year the
winter will not set in any earlier than
it did last year.
The way he prophecies that the
first part of the winter will be the
harder is that these caterpillars are
brown over the main part of the body
with black portions at front and back
ends and when the longer portion of
the black portions is on the front end
of the reptile the first part of the
winter will be more severe, or vice
versa, as the case may be.

RABBIT DISEASE SCARE
EVIDENTLY OVERWORKED.
The bureau of research and in-
formation of the Game Commission
with the aid of the laboratory of the
bureau of ani industry is examin-
ing dozens of cottontail rabbit speci-
mens in an attempt to locate the mys-
terious, much discussed and danger-
ous disease tularemia or rabbit fever.
While numerous specimens sent in
have had various sorts of parasites
or “warblers”—the larval stage of a
bot-fly—none, so far, has had tulare-
mia. This disease is so virulent
among rabbits and allied rodents that
among these mammals it is nearly al-
ways fatal. .
In the very first stages of the dis-
ease the affected animal becomes
weak, sleepy, and utterly defenseless.
The hunter who kills a fast-running,
well-muscled rabbit, though it is bad-
ly infested with parasites, need not
fear tularemia. Rabbits affected with
this fever cannot run away. In the
mid-stage of the disease they seem
oblivious to their surroundings.
Rabbits affected with the disease
usually will be found dead. A rab-
bit found dead from no apparent
cause, should be regarded with sus-
picion, officials of the Commission
said. Dead rabbits found along high-
ways, or with bloody wounds need
cause no worry since automobiles,
guns, or dogs were probably the cause
of their death, but animals found in
cover and without external wounds
should be examined, and should be
handled with great care. :
Advanced stages of tularemia,
during which the animal can move
only with difficulty, are accompanied
by white or yellowish spots on thé
liver or spleen. White spots of this
sort need not mean tularemia. En-
cysted larval stages of tapeworms of-
ten are to be found in the alimentary
tract. These tapioca-like bodies are
not pleasant in appearance, but are
harmless. Coccidiosus, a disease
which may be very distressing at
times, also causes white spots on the
liver.
To be safe, officials suggested, hunt-
ers skin rabbits with great care, for
the germs of tularemia may, it is be-
lieved, reach the blood through the
human skin, even when there is no
cut or wound in the skin, Tularemia
among humans is a dread disease
causing general lassitude, fever and
chills, swelling of glands, ulcerations,
and sometimes death. The use of
rubber gloves in skinning will pre-
vent the germs from gaining access to
the blood.
Tularemia is not contracted through
cating the cooked flesh of a diseased |
rabbit. Tularemia may be contracted
by any member of the rodent group:
mouse, rat, groundhog, porcupine,
squirrel, muskrat, varying hare or
beaver. According to recent investi-
gations it is transferrable to grouse,
but not to deer, nor to ringnecked
pheasants.
GREATEST POTATO
CROP OF ALL TIME.
Preliminary estimates of 1928 crop
production in Pennsylvania in-
dicate the highest average acre yield
of potatoes, as well as total produc-
tion, for all times, while other princi-
pal field crops, except buckwheat and
hay, are running below the five-year
average.
The corn crop is estimated at 53,
360,000 bushels, 3,195,000 bushels
more than last year, but 4,400,000
bushels below the average for the
past five years. The production for
the entire country is above the 1927
total and the five year average. The
average acre yield in Pennsylvania
is forty bushels, 11.7 bushels above
the average for the United States.
The production of winter wheat
for the State is 17,508,000 bushels,
2,662,000 bushels below the estimated
1927 harvest and 4,292,000 bushels
under the five-year average. The
total United States production is
higher than the 1927 crop and the
1923-1927 average. The acre yield in
Pennsylvania this year is slightly be-
low the average for the entire coun-'
try.
With an estimated production of
54,144,000 bushels this year, the oats
crop is 5,456,000 bushels less than the
1927 crop and 3,015,000 bushels below
the five-year average.
The buckwheat crop of 4,427,000
bushels is 508,000 bushels below the
crop a year ago but slightly above the
average for the past five years.
The estimated potato production
of 32,630,000 bushels exceeds the
highest previous production by 3,098,-
000 bushels, while the average acre
yield of 130 bushels tops the highest
previous figure by seven bushels. The
production for the entire country this |
year also exceeds greatly the crop a;
vear ago, as well as the average.
The total apple crop for the State
is estimated at 8,460,000 bushels, 2,-
160,000 bushels above the 1927 har-
vest but 1,391,000 bushels below the
average. The peach crop of 1,867,-'
000 bushels is almost twice more than ,
the five-year average. With an es-!
timated production of 22,680 tons,
the grape crop is 7830 tons higher
than the crop a year ago and 5202
tons above the average.
Synthetic Man a Possibility. |
About the year 2928 an artificial
man may be created in chemists’ lab-
oratories, according to a prophecy by
H, T. F. Rhodes, secretary of the
British Association of Chemists, at
their annual dinner at Birmingham. |
Chemists already know the proto-
plasmic composition, said Rhodes, and
all that remains is to devise a way to
create protoplasm synthetically and to
cause life to manifest itself. I
“If possible perhaps a thousand
vears from now to create synthetic
living beings,” said Rhodes, “they
could be set to do workaday jobs of
the world, thus freeing beings natur- |
ally begotten to undertake fresh con-
quests.’ |

Origin of Five Races,
According to Legend
The Iroquois Indians of Canada, in
their efforts to account to themselves
for the existence of the five races
of men with which they are acquaint-
ed, have shaped the following legend:
In the beginning the Great Spirit, in
order to people the earth, went about
making a man of each nation. He
took a lump of earth and molded it
into a man, This first man was
a negro. Then he took another lump
and molded another man. This was
a Chinaman. Then he made an In-
dian in the same way and gave life
to all three.
But two men, a Frenchman and an
Englishman, remained to be created,
and no earth was at hand wherewith
to make them. What was to be
done? The Great Spirit reached out
his arm and seised the first animal
that came His way. It was a butter-
fiy. The Great Spirit clipped off its
wings, added arms and legs and set it
down in a ‘corner of the earth. Thir
was the first Frenchman.
Again extending His arm, the Great
Spirit seized another animal. It was
an ant. It was treated as the but-
terfly had been; it was given the face
and soul of a man and was set down
in another corner of the earth. This
was the first Englishman.
This explains, says the Iroquois
story, why the English and the French
have always been able to make their
way so easily about the earth. Made
out of animals and not from lumps
of earth, they go everywhere. This ac-
counts, too, for the difference in the
character of the Englishman and the
Frenchman. The one has always pre-
served something of the industrious
character of the ant, and the other
something of the light ways of the
butterfly.
Trunk Tells Elephant
of Proximity of Man
The elephant is probably the
shrewdest and most adaptable of liv-
ing animals and has no enemies ex-
cept man. He eats anything that is
green, and seems equally at home on
the plains or in the forests and
jungles, on the high mountain slopes
or down in swampy lowlands. His
trunk is one of the most extraordinary
organs of nature. It contains the
finest smelling apparatus on earth, and
when the proximity of man Is sus-
pected the trunk is raised in the air
and carefully turned in all directions,
“feeling” for the man smell in the
wind. Once an ‘elephant gets that
smell he does one of two things. He
either retreats quietly and rapidly or
charges. Years of experience in
matching his wiles with those of man
and his high-powered rifle has taught
the elephant that it is safer to remain
in the dense forests. An elephant can
move through these forests with no
more noise than would be made by
a mouse, and the growth in these for-
ests is frequently so impenetrable the
hunter can make progress only by fol
lowing the winding elephant trail.
Stars
If a man would be alone, let him
took at the stars. The rays that come
from those heavenly worlds will sep-
arate between him and what he
touches. Seen in the streets
of cities, how great they are! If the
stars should appear one night in a
thousand years, how would men be-
lieve and adore; and preserve for
many generations the remembrance of
the city of God which had been
shown! But every night come out
these envoys of beauty, and light the
universe with their admonishing smile.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson, in Nature.

Black Bedclothes Cure
An unusual cure for insomnia, sug-
gested by recent experiments, is black
bed clothes and pillows in a black
bed, within a room of the same dusky
shade,
In such a room many of the most
violent patients in an Italian mental
hospital became calm and soon fell
into a deep natural sleep.
It is thought that the same cure
may be useful in ordinary cases of
insomnia.

Bealzac’s Odd Opinion
of Own Character
Honore de Balzac’s own estimate of
himself is to be found in a letter he
wrote to the Duchess @’Abrantes. The
letter is included in the memoirs of a
mysterious contemporary of the author
collected and published in Paris re
cently by Charles Leger.
“I comprise in my five foot and
two inches,” Balzac declared, “a!l pos-
sible incoherencies and contrasts, anil
those who regard me as vain, prodi-
gal, stubborn, frivolous, without con-
tinnity of ideas, a coxcomb, idler,
lacking application, reflection or per-
sistence, talkative, tactless, unman-
nerly, impolite, crotchety, of uneven
humor, will be just as right as those
who might call me economical, mod-
est, courageous, tenacious, energetic,
unstudied, a hard worker, persistent,
taciturn, subtle and tactful, polite, al-
ways cheerful. The one who deems
me a poltroon will not be more wrong
than he who says T am extremely
brave, that I am learned -or ignorant,
full of talent or inept. Nothing sur-
prises me any longer about myself. I

Open Mind Requisite
of Proper Judoment
Your judgment is no beiter than
your information, is a good statement
to memorize. It is certain that to ac-
quire judgment, one must investigate
a subject from different angles. The
first information may only tell part
of the truth. Cne may discover that
he has been misinformed or so slightly
informed that it is a poor foundation
on which to form an opinion.
If you only read what you already
KNOW, you learn nothing. Some do not
want to read something new or read
the other side of a question on which
they have narrow but profound convic-
tions. They stop the paper that dares
discuss views with which they cannot
agree or understand. They condemn
the preacher or the teacher who taxes
their minds with new ideas.
The way to acquire knowledge Is to
keep an open mind so that different
angles of thought may present them-
selves for your information. That is
the basis of sound judgment.—Success-

Renting System Old
We find no exact records of the first
cent paid. It is said that when the
Germans conquered parts of Gaul, the
land was parceled out to chiefs, lieu-
tenants and private soldiers. In return
the holders of the lands promised mili-
tary service when needed. Some of the
land was given to favorites who were
allowed to pay in money instead of
service, and the system was estab-
lished. Rent was certainly known in
the days that Rome flourished, there
being Latin names for rent under
long leasehold tenure; rent of a farm;
ground rent; rent of state lands, and
the annual rent payable for the right
to the perpetual enjoyment of anything
buift on the surface of the land—

Myth About Monkeys
It is often stated that monkeys
sometimes cross streams by means
of “monkey bridges.” We doubt, says
the Pathfinder Magazine, whether
anybody has positive knowledge of
monkeys forming a bridge by taking
hold of each other in order to cross
a Stream, Monkeys do, however,
hang on to one another from time to
time and sometimes one will seize and
climb up the tail of another. One
will even sometimes draw another up.
Dr. William M. Mann, director of
che National Zoological park, helieves
the story about monkeys making a
bridge was suggested by the maneuv-
ers of the spider monkeys of South
America.
Expression Long in Use
Thousands of years ago the Egyp-
tians spoke of their dead as those who
had “gone west.” The abode of the
dead was believed by them to be in
the west, the land of the setting sun.
Similar beliefs were held by other peo-
ples, among them some American In-
dian tribes, who believed that the
“happy hunting ground” was in the .
west and who therefore frequently
put their dead on scaffolds facing that
direction. Whether the modern term
“to go west” has any etymological con-
nection with these old beliefs is un-
known.
Leisurely Spaniards
In Spain there are many bullock
carts on the road. They travel slowly
along the highways. Auto salesmen,
visiting that country, see a fine chance
for sales, But it isn’t so easy to make
the sale. Slung beneath the high ve- | .¢"i io gor terriers bringing a collia

can sleep peacefully while the bullock
plods along the road. In time he gets
there, and he finds it soon enough.

less progressive countries are right In

Cur American Humor
In his book of stories and anecdotes,
“lell Me Another,” Lord Aberdeen, a
M™armer governor general of Canada,
devotes a chanter to “Samples of
Americon Humor,”
“It is well recognized that the typi-
asl humor of America is usually of
the dry quality,” he says, disavewing
any connection hetween his assertion
and a certain amendment to the Cob-
stitution.
As a shining example of Americar
dry humor, he offers this:

It’s about 24,00) miles; but it you turn
around and go the other way it's
about a mile and a half,” was the
answer.
Another characteristic of American
humor, declares Lord Aberdeen, Is a
sert of subtlety, which suggests an in-
ference, not always too obvious, but
which creates amusement even hefore

Bolivar Well Earned
Title of “Liberctcr”
Simon Bolivar, who was born at
Caracas, Venezuela, on Juiy 24, 1773,
has been called the “Liberator” in rec-
ognition of the heroic part he played
8s a valiant soldier and a wise states-
mz, In gaining the independence of
Venezuela, New Granada and Bolivia,
He was a man of good birth and lib- |
eral educgtion. During a visit to Eu-
rope he was seized with the passion
for freedom and resolved to devote
his life to the liberation of South
America from the yoke of Spain. In
1819 he became the first President |
of the republic of Colombia, and in
1824 was appointed dictator of the
newly formed republic of North Peru,
which was afterward known as Bo-
livia, after his name. Unable to con-
trol the warring factions, and broken
fn health, he retired into private life |
and was preparing to leave the coun-
try when he died of fever, at San
Pedro, near Santa Marta, on December
17, 1850.
Yell Relieves Dizziness
Attacks of sudden dizziness whila |
flying in an airplane can sometimes be |
relieved by giving a loud, high-pitched
yell, emitting as little breath as possi-
ble, naval flight surgeons declare. This
forces blood into the smaller veins in
the region of the head. An aerial “jolt”
often causes the blood to leave the
veins temporarily, resulting in a sen-
sation of dizziness. During certain
maneuvers at high speeds a decrease
in a blood supply to the brain may
cause fainting, although the effects
vary with the individual. Yelling con.
tracts the abdominal muscles, the dia
phagm and chest muscles, and the
pressure forces more blood toward the
head.
Ain’t It the Truth?
Some people seem to feel bound to
discover family resemblances between
children and their parents.
“How much like you your little
girl is, Mrs, Brown,” remarked an ac-
quaintance who met them on the street
one afternoon.
“How odd that you should think
80,” replied Mrs, Brown. “She's my
first husband’s child by his first wife.”
“Indeed! At all events I don’t think
fm wrong in saying your little boy
is the image of Mr. Brown.”
“He’s my son by my first husband,
Mr. Green!”
“Ah, yes. Well, good afternoon, Mrs.
Brown.”
On Second Thought
As he was passing under a ladder
reaching up to the windows of a re-
cently built house the irascible colonel
was struck on the head by a large
piece of putty, He seized the putty in
one hand and, racing up the staircase
of the house, entered the room from
which it had been thrown. He was
confronted by three stalwart navvies.
“Who threw this?” he cried, angrily,
*I did,” retorted the biggest of the
chree. “What are ye goin’ to do abaht
it, eh?”
“Oh, I just thought I'd return yow:

Intelligent Dogs
In the board room of King's Col-
lege hospital, London, hangs a picture
there for treatment. The incident oc-
curred in 1887, and is well authen-
ticated. The owner of the dogs was a
Mr. Hunt, a well known bookseller.
His explanation of the dogs’ sagacity
was that they lived so near the hospi-
tal they must have seen people who
had met with accidents taken there
for treatment, and they used their
knowledge for the benefit of their
friend, the collie.
