Dr. John F. Erdmann of New York is authority for the state- ment. He told the Interstate Post-Graduate Medical associa- tion here that the number of or- gans a human being can afford to lose to the knife is steadily increasing, owing to better meth- ods of surgery and increased knowledge of the functions of organs. Recent developments, he said were operations on the heart, the removal of entire lobes of the lung and the removal of the gall bladder. Te o%e 8% +36.

It was in the year 930 that all the chief peasants and traders were called together to decide upon the new faith as against the pagan Wodan cult, with the result that Christianity was accepted by an overwhelming ma- jority. To celebrate the occasion a church will be built on the Thingyalia plain a. well as a national theater in Reyk- javik, the capital. The althing has seen many changes in the 997 years of its existence, but it Is considered that never at. any time has it been more balanced than now. The elections during the summer changed the situation completely, in asmuch as the Peasant party got 19 seats against 16 to the Conservatives, Iceland to Celebrate who were previously ‘n power, As the allthing counts 42 seats, the victorious party, however, will have to co-operate with the five Social Democrats and the sole representative of the Independ ence party, The single Communist will be left alone to attack the new government from the left. The new premier, Tryggvi Thor hallsson, was originally a countr, par- son, and is now editor of the Timinn (the Times), the leading paper of Reykjavik. His government will have to face the problem of stabilizing the currency, of building water plants at the many and powerful waterfalls and of constructing railways and motor roads. A point of special interest is the proposal to use for domestic and in- dustrial purposes the warm water of the geysers, the many natural foun- ains where boiling water spouts as it does in Yellowstone park springs. Keeping Up With the Joneses By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. RANKLIN was seventeen when he first entered Philadelphia hungry and almost penniless. To the boat- man who landed him at the market street wharf, he gave all the money he had in his possession and consid erably more than the circumstances warranted, “a man being sometimes more generous,” he explained, “when he has but a little money than when he has plenty, perhaps through fear of being thought to have but little.” Franklin lived very frugally after his marriage, for he was considerably in debt and he wanted very much to get on. For his breakfast he had vnly bread and milk, eaten from a cheap bowl with a pewter spoon. But they began to get on and to be am: bitious, and Mrs. Franklin wanted to live in the same style as their more prosperous friends were living. So one morning at breakfast Franklin found his bread and milk in a china bowl, and a silver spoon was at hand with which it was to be eaten. On these his wife had expended more than a pound. It was the same social ambition as we see in people today, young and old, who want to keep up with their neighbors. They. have lit- tle money, but they spend generously lest those who know them will think they have little. The fraternity was planning its an- nual formal party and the subject up: permost was how much the funetion should cost. There was the decora- tion of the house to be considered. and the dinner and the favors and the sort of orchestra that should be engaged, and the “imports” and how they should be entertained for the It could all be done sim- ply and yet in a dignified way or they could spread. To most of the fellows a little added expense did not mean any sacrifice, for each had a gener Retires in Glory il Few football coaches have ever closed their active careers on the gridiron with a better record than the one compiled by “Hurry-Up” Yost in his last year, 1926, at the Univer- sity of Michigan.

But the seven fine victories that the team ran up took away all sting of the Navy defeat. ous allowance which would easily take care of the cost. But there were a few fellows who were having a hard time to make ends mect and who could not expect to receive any fur- ther help from home. “We ought to keep the party down to a reusonable cost,” Johnson ar- gued. “Welch and Arnold are work- ing their way, and they can’t afford anything extravagant.” Johnson bad plenty of money; the extra cost meant poothing te him. There was a good deal of discussion, and the more sensible members were in favor of conservatism. “Let's put it to a vote,” Johnson suggested finally. But on the vote Welch and Arnold were in favor of the more pretentious function. They hadn't the slightest idea where the money would come from to meet the expense, but having little money they couldn’t quite bring themselves to ad- mit that they had littla. Gilman has a car—a very respect able-looking car which he and Mrs. Gilman have found adequate to their needs, In his circumstances it ie about all he can afford; but the Joneses next door, who are in no bet- ter circumstances than Gilman, have an elegant new six-cylinder car which, parked in front of the Jones resi- dence, high-hats the modest Gilman car. The Gilmans are contemplating buying a new car. (©. 1927. Western Newspaper Union.)

From marks on the weapon museum experts have been able to reconstruct a good deal of its past career, even though any records or stories attached to it have long since been lost. The handle of the club is carved with the words “Ogdehtague le cam- ara de Jeanson” which, translated. means “Oqdehtague, the friend of Johnson,” according to Arthur Wood- ward of the museum staff. On the other side of the hundle is engraved the strange looking word “Warrag hiyagey,” which is the name the Iro- quois gave to Sir William Johnson, the Jritish superintendent of Indian at fairs shortly before the American Rev- olution. “The remainder of the cleared space on the handle is filled with a series of exploit marks,” says Mr. Wood ward. “There are war belts denoting the number of times the warrior had set out upon the war trail and the number of times he was wounded is shown. There is a rude carving of a full-length figure depicting on the body the tattoo marks worn by an eld time Iroquois fighting man There are also tigures represting 13 men each carrying a gun.” The ancient weapon recalls that in 1758, during the French and Indian war, an Onondaga warrior was slain by the enemy and Sir Williusn John son's secretary recorded his death This Indian bore the name of Otquen- andagehte, which very nearly approx- imates the name on the war club, and the knife carried by this Indian bore the same words, “friend of Johnson,’ that are found on the club. “It would seem that the knife and club both belonged to the same man,” Mr. Woodward says, “and that the club, being a well-executed piece of work and more important than the knife, was taken as spoils of war by the Indian or Frenchman who killed its owner. Later the club may have been captured by some British fighter, and so it found its way to England as a curiosity. [It would seem that the club belonged to some important man of the Iroquois who stood in wel. with Sir William, then the autocrat of Indian affairs.” Many of the early colonists sent back to their homes in England, Hol- land, France, or Spain numbers ot Indian “curios,” he states.

Under the present efficient Alaskan game laws each hunter must take a licensed guide into the moose haunts and a good-sized tax is attached to the sportsman for the privilege of taking home the head and antlers To make a moose hunting trip into Alaska also offers hunters an oppor tunity of either hagging a gigantic brown or grizzly bear or being bagged by bruin, Newest Musical Star Texas the sixteen-year-old girl who is the latest sensation in the musical world Her voice has won for her the Juil liard Musical foundation scholarship and the patronage of Mme.

If you don’t know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas- toria. It is sweet to the taste, and sweet in the little stomach. And its gentle influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distaste. ful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege- table, so you may give it freely, at first sign of colic; or constipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don’t know what is the mat- ter. For real sickness, call the doc- tor, always. At other times, a few drops of Fletcher's Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher's. Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experiment? Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold!
