A new federal law bars firearms i -from the mail and practically puts the j federal government out of business as a gun runner for the bandits. Radio makes it possible for eminent personages to talk over thousands of miles. What is actually said apparently does not yet much matter. If a cigarette Is "kind to the throat* of a world-famous tenor, as the pub llclty avers, a ctfcnpalgn cigar would probably be a cough drop for a bass.

Washington, D. C.--The common cold goes to the head of the list as a cause; of lost Jjnje. In a su vey of $bseiices from work in a bTg Industrial firm over a period of ten years, just completed by statisticians at the United States public health service, It .was found that colds caused a time fdss equivalent to 1.4 days per year for every, man on the pay roll and 2.1 days per annum for every female employe. Colds were directly responsible for 39 per cent of all the absences among the men and for 31 per cent among the women. Diseases of the general type known as respiratory caused approximately half of all the absences, but were not so common among the women as the men. Women, It would appear from these records, are more liable to disablement from nervous disorders and diseases of the throat and tonsils, but their disabling Illnesses are shorter on the whole than the men's. This condition in favor of the so-called weaker sex is counterbalanced, however, by the fact that their absences were more numerous, totaling fourteen calendar days apiece during the whole ten years, while that of the men reached only 8.9. A high proportion of Illnesses occurred among the younger employes, notably among the women. The statisticians suggest that this circumstance may be In part accounted for by the dropping out of the less healthy. The group representing the ages thirty to thirty-five, they state, seems as a whole to have a greater resistance to colds, tonsilltis and stomach disorders than the younger ajSesT , ••••&&+. Civilization Fails to .. -- Dim Indian's Vision Muskogee, Okla. -- Undimmed by civilization, the keen eyesight of the Indians, essential in early days to detect the presence of enemies or of wild game for food, still Is retained for the peaceful pursuits of the present generation. Dr. Charles Southard, secretary of the Eyesight Conservation Council of America, after testing the eyes of school children in nineteen states, said that the 400 Indian students at Bacone college here possess, collectively, the best eyesight of any group he bad examined. "The Indians read distant charts with ease," he said, "while their white cousins are unable to make out the largest characters." Doctor Southard cautioned the Indians, however, that unless they stopped reading while lying In bed this marvelous faculty would be endangered. Classified Column V ^ ^ ^ * A A. A. A AAA A.

Want Grant Log Cabin Back at Point Pleasant Columbus, Ohio.--The little log cabin in which Gen. U. S. Grant was born at Point Pleasant, Ohio, would be returned to its original location, after more than 40 years of wandering about the cobntry, under a bill passed by the Ohio house of representatives. For many years the cabin has been one of the attractions at the Ohio fair, having been purchased by j the state after being moved about the brunette*- j country on private exhibition for several years. It was moved from Point Pleasant in 1885 to St. Louis, where it was displayed, and later taken to the world's fair In Chicago in 1893. The Ohio senate is expected to approve the house measure.

In summer, when protected by game laws, Bruin rambles carelessly about the state, looking things over and picking up delicacies here and there in orchards, berry patches and dairies. Now and then he pauses to watch , farm hands at work. * When fall comes and Bruin is legally "in season" he is actually "out," seeking refuge In remote ravines, away from the sound of hunters' shots. It was only with the greater4 perseverance that Pennsylvania hunters bagged 514 bears last season. Gold-plated door knobs are to be Installed In New York's lewest family feotel.

Claims China Invents "Noiseless" Cannon Shanghai. -- Chinese, credited with invention of gunpowder, have now produced "noiseless cannon," say newspapers reporting tests of a gun designed by Yang Yl-cheng. The silencer Is not an attachment but part of the original mechanism and the principles are kept secret Although the •. gun Is effective at a distance of \ | 2.3 miles, it is claimed, the ex- • • plosion cannot be heard more ;; than 400 feet away.

The following facts taken from the report are of especial significance: There are 95 grade teachers in the city and town schools of the county and 131 rural teachers. Eighty per cent of the grade teachers of the cities and towns have professional training equivalent to graduation from a normal school. Less than ten per cent of the rural teachers have such preparation. Five inexperienced teachers were employed in the city schools last year. Each of these five was a normal graduate. Seventeen inexperienced teachers were employed in the rural schools, three of whom were normal graduates. A comparison of the amount of supervision provided' for city and rural schools shows that there are 2774 pupils enrolled in the city grade schools. Twenty-six supervisors and. special teachers ar^ provided for these. There are 2370 children enrolled in the rural schools of the county and for them there is only one supervisor, who ts me county superintendent. It is evident that the rural pupils, who are being taught by a group of teachers who have all the problems of the city teachers and some in addition and who, therefore, need more help, are actually receiving less than one-twenty-sixth as much as are the pupils of the city schools. This situation is not in the majority of cases, the fault of the rural districts. These districts pay enough for their schools, but, as a group, they must always have a large per cent of inexperienced teachers. In the light of these facts, a recommendation was made that the counT ty employ two helping teachers for the rural schools--one to be a primary expert and the other to be especially qualified for upper grade work--both of them to be professionally trained, experienced teachers who have also the qualifications necessary for the type of work they would be required to do. This recommendation had the support of the city superintendents of the county, who, at the request of the county superintendent, have visited the rural schools of the county this year. The cost of these helping teachers is estimated as follows: First helping teacher who will furnish her own car and act as attendance officer for the county $2400 Primary teacher whose transportation will be furnished by Mrs. Coe and first helping teacher 1800 Additional clerical cost 300 has been turned into the general county fund. Should this money be used for the benefit of the rural schools of the county? The Baord of Supervisors referred the matter to the educational committee with power to act. The chairman of this committee, Mr. L. A. Stockwell, called a meeting of the committee June 16th. At that meeting the committee decided that the county could not afford to make the necessary appropriation at this time.

Fogs at that point' on the Maine coast are very thick and cold. The captain of a Penobscot whaler, outward bound for a Pacific cruise, is said to have stuck his jpek-knife into the fog off Desert rock and found It there still on his return three years later. When the fog does part, however, the golden walls of the phantom city of legend m* be seen am->ng the dark pine trees o* the wooded shore. Its streets are paved with ivory and pearl, gardens of glowing fruits and flowers surround its palaces, and bright banners lfy from Its tall towers. Drum-beats and bw-'Ie-calls are heard, and its lefty spires glitter against the clouds. Then, as suddenly as it has appeared, it vanishes In the enfolding fog. When farmers and shipbuilders •long the Penobscot wer* more credulous than they are today, more than one expedition set out to find the lost city, only to behold somber evergreens and a tangle of wild briers, or the heights of Mount Desert. The suggestion has been made that it was a mirage of Montreal or Quebec, or some other large city many miles away; but this does not account for drums and bugles or strange flags bearing an unknown device. Still less does it explain the Indian tradition that the rich and beautiful metropolis of a highly civilised white race once stood on the spot Nor does it explain the name, Norembega, by which It was known among the Inimm MMMMi Chineam PMi+nthropy Odd Quaint forme of philanthropy are evident in almost every part of China. Funds are maintained for transporting to his native province any man who dies away from home, another organisation provides coffins for poor children, and another society sets op "drinking fountains" of tea or water !br the thirsty coolies who are lowest III the scale of Chinese labor.
