PETS CARRY DISEASE.
"Dks, cuts, ruts mid in k-u are the
mediums throuKli which much dlxcnse
Is scattered," writes the Texas Medlcnl
Journal. -"People nre constantly mak
ing war on ruts and mice from eco
nomic necessity, but they seldom think
of them as disease carriers and germ
spreaders. There Is no possible tooil
that can come from rats and mice. It
Is more expensive to maintain n few
of them about n place than to feed nn
other person, aside from the hnrm they
do In spreading sickness. The time will
come when a city will be ashamed to
admit Unit It lias ruts or mice In It.
I!ut what about the dogs and cats?
They are even worse than the rats and
mice, for they ore the favorite house

have free access to many homes, but

loaded with disease germs. Dogs and
cats are Inordinately filthy. Nothing
Is too dirty for them to get Into; no

diseases that may be lurking there.
They are expensive to feed and dan
gerous to have around. Why will sen
sible people keep thciuT
A crippled English soldier, perma
nently oiit of the fighting, objected to
the woman's employment assigned him,
which was that of hat trimming. "They
call us heroes," he said, "but a war
hero as a hat trimmer Is unthinkable 1"
Others haven't so nice a sense of the
"fitness" of things, and take what Is
offered them, and are becoming expert
at what was once exclusively the work
of women. One British soldier took
this philosophical view of It: "The
good wife's a worker In a munition
factory; she's supporting a husband
and the whole government! By learn
ing to trim hats I may one day be
boss of an entire millinery establish
ment I" That, according to the Toron
to Globe, Is the comfort the crippled
Canadian soldiers get out of the situa
tion that after the war Is ended, In
stead of returning to their former oc
cupations, "some of them tuny set up
millinery establishments In Canadian
towns equal to any brnnch of the fa
mous Malson Lewis of New York, Lon
don and Paris!"
Throughout the entire system of ed
ucation In our country, nt private and
public Institutions, alike, stress Is luld
upon athletics to a degree that some
times Indicates a tendency to exalt
the athlete above the student. While
this may be transitory In Its nature
so far as It affects the Individual, It
Is likely to leave something of perma
nent effect on the school Itself. Tra
ditions are part of student life, and
form a potent agency whose Influ
ence on campus activities Is beyond
computation. Educators recognize
tills and now and again have been
called upon to put forth considerable
effort to neutralize the bent of the
young mind to hero worship. Some
times this restriction swings a little
too far and the school suffers In de
gree Just as the restrictive measures
are made unduly stringent.
Science has been making the age of
the world 200.000,000 years, more or '
less. But the latest scientific calcula
tion Is 1,500.000,000 years. This great
difference of time arises from the dif
ference of methods of calculation. The
first named period is reached through
geologlcul estimates, founded on sedi
mentation and stratum formation. The
longer period Is reached through the
retroactive effects of uranium and Its
relative elements. It has taken all this
time for uranium to produce crystal
lization which possesses creative force.
The longer period Is the estimate of
chemistry, the shorter period of geol
ogy, hut, as there Is no geology with
out chemistry, the scientific world Is
turning to urnnlum as the controlling
element In the building of the earth,
and the period of Its retroactive
agency constitutes the age of the earth.
From uranium we get milium, the mas
ter force of all change. As radium
was only discovered In 1002, there j
Is plenty of time left In which to find
out how old t lie earth Is.
Tropical products to the value of
$1,000,000,000 were brought Into the
United States last year. This means
an Increase of $500,000,000 In a little
more than a decade, notwithstanding
the development In that period of cit
rus fruit culture within the Dnlted
States, says the Christian Science Mon
itor. Of course, the amazing growth
In the popularity of the bamiua must
be taken Into account. And then, again,
It should be remembered that a large
part of the tropical fruit coming Into
the United States annually Is re
exported. After modern experts In child psy
chology had pronounced corporal pun
ishment to be barbarous, another group
of specialists comes nlong and opens
the argument by saying that spank
ings are a splendid thing. There is one
Interested party who has no doubts
whatever on the matter.
More than 400 papers are using
the "reformed spelling." according to
Dr. A. Oldeon. one of Its supporters.
Between a chonglng geography and a

THE AIRMAN
By JOSEPH T. KESCEL. j
; The crack avliilor of the Tenth
corps, "The Bird," us he was culled by
his comrades, could not sllllo the groan
Unit escaped his lips.
, He wus seated on the ground, his
back against u tree, to which he bad
painfully crawled after his fall. In
half delirium he muttered to himself
numerous broken sentences.
"Commanding ollleer's orders were
'Go out over enemy's position, ascer
tain strength, and report Immediately
upon your return.' Tried to do It, and
would have done It, hadn't been for
that devilish shell. Machine damaged
and old Fred hudly wounded.
"Can't forget his words and action
when he saw we were hard lilt. 'Good
by, George, old man, good-by,' he
yelled. 'I'm badly wounded. Informa
tion very much needed at headquar
ters. Alone there is a chance to make
It. With me In the machine it Is Im
possible. Tell Kuty my Inst thoughts
were of her.' Then for love of coun
try ho threw himself out Into space.
Struck the hard ground Inside the en
emy's lines, and wus killed.
"Rotten luck. Just downright hard
luck, after everything had gone so
well. Splendid flight we made to
headquarters, with the Information
they wanted, when that whistling devil ,
caught us. With Fred's weight gone,
the machine partly righted Itself and
would have made a safe landing, but
for this beastly tree.
"Steering gear broken, no ehnnce
to guide. Leg busted, arm broken,
and bend feels smashed. Worst luck
Is In being unable to make report.
"Now my head bas gone wrong.
Saw the moon above, now see moons
all over, going everywhere. Funny.
Wish I had a drink of water and can
teen empty. Wow ! Big moon Is com
ing right toward me. There it comes.
Hear voices, strange, and the man In
the moon has an automobile. Can hear
the purr of his engine."
With a sturt "The Bird" realized
that It was an automobllo from his
corps. lie attempted to raise an arm
and uttered a faint shout. Figures
alighted and came rapidly toward him.
In a low, audible tone he snld;
"I wish to report position very strong.
Heavily re-enforced and more coming
up rapidly." Then he Inpsed Into un
consciousness. Pays had passed. One cool bright
morning "The Bird" opened his eyes,
now free from delirium. A gentle sigh
passed his lips and o figure bent over
him. Two questioning brown eyes
gazed Into his. In a weak voice he
whispered : "Report enemy's position
strong, henvlly re-enforced. This is
very Important."
Good nurse Wlnthrop grasped the
situation at once and, knowing It best
to humor the pntlent, hurried away.
Returning to the bedside of the wound
ed mnn she said quietly, "four or
ders have been obeyed. Headquarters
have been Informed."
"I know you," he gasped. "Katy,
dear old Fred's sister. His last words
were of you. I suy gopd-by for him. j
Am tired now and sleepy." With this
he lapsed Into peaceful slumber. I
The late afternoon sun, strenmlng
through the big hospital windows, '
found nurse Wlnthrop again standing
beside her new patient. The head
nurse gently chlded Miss Wlnthrop
for the decided Interest to patient
No. 254.
The girl's eyes filled with tears and
she answered humbly, "Please don't
scold, for he was with my brother
Fred. The two were toegther when
the machine was bit." j
"Forgive me, dear. I did not know,"
replied the older woman. "Stay here
until he uwukens. I will uttend to
your other duties." I
"The Bird's" eyes opened.
The Injured mnn gazed In wonder
ment nt the face before him. "I know .
you I hnve seen yon before," he re-
pented, "you are Fred's sister Katy." .
Two small white fingers were placed
on his lips and n sweet voice admon
ished, "You must not talk now."
With the uninjured hand he re
moved the fingers from his Hps. Ex
erting Ills whole strength he held them
firmly while lie Insisted, "I won't be
quiet, must talk. Want you to under
stand . Pear old Fred, my best friend,
comrades since war started. Sends oil
his love to you."
Her eyes tilled with tears nnd with
gentle firmness she released her hand,
saying, "Please do not talk any more.
You must be quiet, for you are In
jured nnd 111."
Ills convnlescet'ce was very rapid.
When he was almost well one day
they were seated on the cool, wide, j
sun-sbnded porch, tho small white
hand of Miss Wlnthrop neRtllng In his, ;
nnd he recited tho adventures of her
brother nnd himself. Her eyes over
flowed with tears and she murmured,
"Dear brother. So noble, good nnd
true!" i
Firmly he held her hands nnd In
a gentle voice beseeched, "Won't you
be my Katy now? Fred's last words
were, 'Look after her, George.' I
know It would please your brother,
and to me you are everything. I love
you, dear, and I want you to be my
wife," he pleaded.
With trembling lips she softly mur
mured, "Yes, George!"
A fading sunbeam casting Its
shadows over the cool, broad veranda
danced In glee when their lips met
In plighted troth.

PLACER-GOLD REGION.
An important -source of pluoei
gold in Alaska is in the Solomot
and Casadepaga region, about thirty
miles east of Nome. In this regiot
dredge mining has yielded good re
turns. The region is part of tin
great tundra belt of northern Alaskj
and is therefore without timber. It
most places the bedrock is masked
by a thick mat of moss or oilier vege
tation which bus made it diilicull
to decipher its intricate geology
Nevertheless the area has been topo
graphically and geologically surveyed
by the United States geological sup
vcy, department of the interior, on (
scale of one mile to one inch. Thi
resulting map, with descriptive text

GET TOGETHER FOR
PERMANENT PROSPERITY.
Every moo and woman engaged In
American factories, mills and mines,
whether they know English or steiik
It, are naturalized or Intend to be
come cltl.eiis, buve a direct Interest
lu maintaining Industrial prosperity.
When times are good, all workers
should uot only bo thrifty In habit and
lay up a little something for possible
rainy days, but they should do all they
cun to keep tho good times with us.
Simply because your laugiingo is dif
ferent from Unit of the foreman, over
seer, superintendent, manager or owner
of the plant in which you earn a living,
is no excuse for misunderstanding your
own common Interest lu prosicrity by
hating your partner In your own in
dustry or listening to and following
the gosiel of dissension and violence
which selfish agitators so often preach.
Do uot blindly follow the man who
tells you bow hard your lot Is. Often
be Is doing so untruthfully and for the
purpose of getting you to contribute
membership money for his own support
In Idleness. Agitators get rich by prey
ing ou the men In American Industry,
whom they urge Into unlawful or harm
ful nets by misrepresenting conditions
or holding out foolish and false prom
ises of better things If they follow
their orders. You know conditions
yourself, and you know or ought to
know that the man or men whom tbe
agitator who pictures your employer as
on Inhuman driving machine Is actual
ly a partner with you, Interested Id
having the plant or industry successful.
The more successful your plant or
Industry becomes, the more room for
you to grow with It there will be. It
should be your feeling, then, Unit you
will not do as little as you may And It
convenient to do, but to do Just as
much as you possibly can do, and then
reasonably expect to share In tho re
wards that always come to tho clllclent
worker.
I)o not bo n clock watcher In tho fac
tory. Those who wait for hours to
strike or whistles to blow and "soldier"
at the bench, machine or in the otllce,
never get abend III tho ranks of In
dustry. They never get any more pay
becuusc they ore not worth any more,
and often ure worth less thnu they get

who never docs any more or as much
as he gets paid for, never gets paid

ous trade and Industrial centers. All
classes of citizens will be Invited. The
purpose of these meetings is to give the
public a new ami correct viewpoint as

be made to give the public a cleur view
of the problems and diUlcultles which
beset business.

Common Capitalists.
Every man or woman who possesses
a dollar or owns a set of tools Is a
capitalist People generally make the
mistake of thinking that the only form
of capital in existence is the national
currency the dollar, franc, ruble,
mark, liro or pound sterling. Yet every
body knows that many a successful
business man's only original capital
was brains, knowledge, ability, deter
Dilnation or Ingenuity. It would be
well for more people to recognize this
truism before abetting, either by ac
tlon or attitude, ceaseless efforts on the
part of some political or other self
seekers, to hobble business men and In

The Correct Way
When entering a restaurant
the man precedes the lady, fol
lowing the waiter who shows
them to a table; then the mar'
assists the lady with her wraps
and sees that she is properly seat
ed before taking his own seat.
In leaving either a theater or
restaurant the man precdes the
lady in order to clear the way foi
her until the door is reached;
then he goes to her side. Wher.
a man enters the theatre he fol
lows the usher to the row of
seat?, then both step aside and
allow the lady to enter first, the
man following. If there is nr
usher the man precedes the lady
in order to locate the seats, then
stands aside to allow her to be
seated first.
A man walking with two ladies
always takes the outside of the
walk In escorting two ladies
to the theatre he seats them to
g ether and sits nearest the end
himself. Of course this last
must be modified according to
circumstances;there may be some
reason why he should sit between
the ladies but by taking the out
side seat he prevents either of
hem from inconvenience by
the occupant of an adjoining seat.
Magazines and Postal Rates.
The magazines have been pro
testing bitterly at Washingtoi
against the proposed increase of
postage on their issues that arc
shipped more than 300 miles.
They argue that a two cent stamp
carries a letter from Maine t(
California, and they claim theii
publications should go anywhere
on the same basis. Yet the par
cel post has been established on
a zone.basis, the rate being de
pendent en the distance a pack
age was carried. No one has
claimed that this was unjust.
The magazines are exceedingly
bulky. The labor handling them
must be very large, and it is
greatly multiplied by the dis
tances covered. v
The magazines reply that th
advertising in their columns or
iginates a great deal of mai'
business that tends to increase
postal revenues. But inasmuc
as so much mail business is don
at a loss, there is a question it
these publications are entitled to
any special favors on this ground.
It is hard for the average man
to see just why the magazine
ire entitled to any special favors
If a private corporation wen
running the post offices, the cos'
of carting these great bundle'
ill over the country would ven
won pay a charge proportion te
to its value.
It is necessary for theenmmer
eial unity of the nation that let
ter postage rates be low all ovei
the country. High rates foi
long distances would imped
business. But a low rate for
magazines is no such necessity
The standard magazines would
he widely taken anyway, even i'
the readers did have to pay a bit
nnr for postage. And there is
a raft of trashy publications that
would be put out of business,
with no one the loser.
