Modern Woman as a
Rebel Against Rulev
My husband says that no institution
can he successfully run without rules,
and he wishes I would be more ob-
servant of the golden rule in the
institution we call home.
But I really do not care for rules,
and I think they must be especially
annoying to the inmates of prisons.
Just fancy never going to a matinee
or recital without an attendant! But
i my husband says the prisoners do not
care for the same sort of amusements
! that I do, and that he, himself, per-
sonally, can imagine no greater pun-
, ishment for a man than to be obliged
to attend the average recital.
| They have a sad rule in our library
j which prohibits a barefoot boy from
j getting a book, and the boys are so
! disappointed and embarrassed.
I just adore barefoot boys, and my
husband says that Whittier did, too.
| We once met a dear old bishop with
j freckles like little ginger snaps who
j told us that when he was a kid his
greatest joy was to feel the warm
mud of spring time oozing up between
his toes. And he said he got his first
impression of higher ideals from a
book.—Kansas City Star.

Stranger Found He
Didn't Have Monopoly
Dawkins and a friend were so ab-
sorbed in earnest conversation that
they did not notice another man ahead
of them.
"She is the most cantankerous wom-
an I ever met," said Dawkins to his
friend.
"What do you mean by talking
about my wife?" exclaimed the
stranger, flashing round.
"Here, steady there," said Dawkins.
"You've no right to listen to our con-
versation. I merely said that a lady i
of my acquaintance was the most 111- !
tempered person I ever met."
"But you were speaking of mv wife i
I tell you."
"Nothing of the sort,"snapped Daw-
kins. "I don't know your wife."
This somewhat mollified the bad- ;
tempered man. He stepped back, j
bowed, and fairly beamed on Daw- j
kins.
"I apologize," he said. "I thought
there was only one like her in the
world. I was mistaken. You have
my sympathy .'"—London Tit-Bits.

That Final "Division"
He had just come back from Mex- 1
ico and was standing on a certain \
San Francisco pi or, much disturbed
about the case of forbidden fruit lie
had secreted in one of his trunks.
"Have you anything to declare?" asked
the customs officer. He was about to :
deny his possession when Ids courage
failed him, so lie desperately sought j
refuge in strategy. Pointing to the
trunk he murmured, "Three for you
and nine fur me." "You're warm, but i
you ain't right," said the officer. "Six 1
for you and six for mo," whispered
the trembling citizen, hopefully.
"Naw!" roared the inexorable oflieor, •
"but you're warmer—twelve for me!"

Forest Fires
The forest service says that the
amount of damage caused by a tire to
forests depends entirely on the type :
tf fire. The e are three classes of fire
—superficial fire, which burns leaves-
of the trees and is not necessarily |
dangerous: crown fire, which burn^ ,
through ho br:;;.: iies and kills them I
and is very dangerous and disastrous;
deep ground tire, which burns; off the
roots ep under the trees and de-
stroys the trees and makes a very dan
gerous fire. In burning land the f
consumes all the rotted leaves and
destroys the soil, leaving the mineral '
element.
Old Copper Pips,
At Giza, Egypt, a piece of copper
pipe has been found near an ancient
tomb which it is believed was use:'
for plumbing purposes at least 5,00-'
years ago. Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine points out that this is only an-
other bit of evidence that c pper is
practically indestructible. Under the
lava and debris thrown out by Mt. Ve-
suvius in 70 A. D., was found a bronze
bathtub which is still in such good
condition that it will hold water.
| rest of the population at the same
rate, we assume that 112,000 persons
died in the United States in 1924 of
tuberculosis. This, of course, Is bad,
but It Is the lowest rate we have ever
had. If the same rate had prevailed
In 1924 as we had In 1900, there should
have been 233,000 deaths instead of
112,000, so you see there were pro-
portionately less than one-half as
many deaths in 1924 as in 1900.
Control of Diphtheria.
"Diphtheria is a disease which doc-
tors and health officers have learned
how to control, provided the people
will co-operate, but not otherwise.
Based on the rates for 35 states from
which reports have been received, it
is estimated that there were 10.700
deaths from diphtheria in 1924: Now
that is bad, hut it Is the lowest rate
we have ever had. Again, if the 1900
rate prevailed, we would have had
nearly 50,000 deaths instead of 10.7(H).
In other words, there were proportion-
ately nearly five times as many deaths
from diphtheria in 1900 as there were
In 1924. If parents would have their
children Schick-tested and have the
doctor give the toxin-antitoxin treat-
ment to those who are susceptible to
the disease, there would not be very
much diphtheria left. You may write
to the surgeon general for literature
on diphtheria.
"Many people think that whooping
cough is not a serious disease. Well,
whooping cough is not so serious for
grown people or for oider children, but j
it murders babies and young child'-en 1
by the thousands. Do not let your ;
baby get whooping cough.
"At the beginning of the present cen-
tury the control of typhoid fever '
seemed almost hopeless. Today we are
usually able to find out who or what '
Is to blame, even if it is only a small '
outbreak of typhoid fever. However,
present conditions indicate that there •
was more typhoid fever in the United
States !n lSl'.j than -n 1924, and health
officers everywhere .1 re on the alert i
to check this tendency.
Measles Hard to Combat.
"Measles is a di e; re which is ex- I
Iremely difficult to combat in the pr< 1
ent state of our knowledge. While :
there has been a general reduction in
the death rate from this disease since.
1900, this reduction is rot marked, I
am' the c< nrs > of 'lie disease is very !
Irregular. Our inability to control i
measles is due in great measure to the
fact that there usually elapses a pe-
riod of about four days from the time <
of the appearance of the initial symp-
toms to the time of the appearance of
the eruption. M rsles is com-
municable during this stage. The
child is not infrequently at school dur-
ing a portion of this time, and unl, -s
a doctor is called, the disease is not '
recognized until tin- eruption appears, j
Many mild cases of m,jask , are never |
seen by a physician and are not re- j
ported.
"Infantile paralysis or poliomyelitis j
is another deadly disease. Fortunate- :
ly, it is not as prevalent as measles '
i
or whooping cough, but it is sufficient-
ly common to strike terror into the j
hearts of parents. Scarlet fever j
.
shows an apparent increase. I >w- j
ever, it is believed that the cases are !
being better reported and there was
an actual decrease of 12 per cent in
the number of deaths during 1924.
"Approximately 10000 people are
killed each year in the Unite:1. States
by automobiles, and the number is in-
creasing."

Japan Barbers Combat
Smiling Female Rivals
Honolulu.—Fear that the alluring
smiles and soft words of Japanese
woman barbers would lure too many
customers away from the shops run
by the opposite sex has resulted in
the appointment of an anti-flirting
committee by the Japanese Barbers'
association.
One barber from each of the 24
districts in the city was selected to
act <>n the committee, which will
watch the feminine shops in an effor
to put to an end u - • ti mrtutions.
The association ims issued a
forbidding flirting, but no explana-
tion has been made as to how the fear
wiU be enforced.
We have added two more new machines to our
already well equipped Garage. One 30-to Y/ever
