Spreading it on Just a Little

On my return from Massa
chusetts the other day where I

in I was somewhat surprised
to learn that it had been circa
lated in some of the Vermont
nancr3 that I had been convict
ed of Breaking. Entering and
Larceny of Dynamite in Massa
chusetts, but such was not tne
case.
As I have not seen the article
myself, I do not know the exact
J-iii'. but it was some time in
ho early winter.

Surgeons of Today Must Be
Good Carpenters.
We hove wondered at the skill of
surgeons In grafting pieces of Ekln
from a frog's leg or from a human
body upon the skinless Injury caused
by a burn or other accident
But the marvels of modern surgery
do not end there. "Bono" grafting Is
an art that demands the skill of a
specialist In the most remarkable kind
of "carpentry."
Electrically driven circular saws In
the bands of a bone carpenter can
now be used to slot, splice, and alter
a fractured part of one's skeleton.
Sometimes a part of the broken bone
is neatly shaped and slid down Into
a slot cut Into a part of the fractured
member. Screws f steel, silver, Ivory,
or screws made out of the patient's
own skeleton, aro used to hold these
Jointed pieces firmly In place.
One curious result of these Ingeni
ous attempts Is ihat of repairing an
Injured Jaw. A piece of bone re
moved from the edge of a broken hip
bone was found to serve splendidly
when properly fitted Into a man's
broken Jaw. This man today literally
chews his food with his hip-bone an
anomalous situation Indeed I
Never before In the world's history
was there such an opportunity for
bone carpentry as that offered by the
war. The knowledge thus gained was
not lost with the coming of peace,

CALLED CURSE CF SCOTLAND
Why the Nine of Diamonds Got Bad
Reputation In That Country
Is Uncertain.
It appears to have been with the
family of the onrl of Stair that the
nine of diamonds rot th'n name of
"The Curse of Scotland." On their
armorial coat can be seen the nlna
lozenges.
It was also said that the curse of
Scotland referred to the belief that
every ninth king of Scotland was a
curse to his country. But on looking
up the history of tho enrl of Stair it is
found that he h; the eldest son of
James Da'.rymple, Viscount Stair. t
president rf tne court of sessions lu
Scotland and the greatest lawyer the
country has produced.
Tills first earl, as Sir John I,1
ryniple, was one of the persons of irn-
! portanco ehoeoji to offer the crown of
Scotland to William and Mary at the
revolution. As secretary of state he
was tthe prime instrument In causing
the massacre of Glencoe, which cov
ered his name with Infamy, and did
not leave that of hla royal master un
tarnished. lie was largely Instrumental In
bringing about the union of Scotland
with Kngland, though he did not live
to see this effected, dying on January
8, 1707.

How Ages May Ba Compared.
Study of the relation between the to
tal length of life and the time re
quired to reach maturity has brought
out an Interesting comparison between
man and horses. A horse at five
years old la said to bo, comparatively,
as old as a man at twenty, and doubt
less may be expected to behave, ac
cording to equina standards, after the
manner of the averago college student
following human standards. A ten-year-old
horse resembles, so far as
age and experience go, a man of forty,
while a horse that has attained tho
ripe ago of thirty-five Is cotnpnrnhle

FARAJER OWES MUCH TO KULE
Animal Is Hard and Rugged Worker
and Almost Indispensable In
Many Localities.
The mule, like everybody else, hos
his place. lie is considered a bad
actor. Fathers caution their sons
about going near any animal with long
ears and ropy talL The sons know
what the animal will do because they
have been looking over the "funny
paper" each Sunday and were de
lighted in seeing the mule fold up and
let loose with a kick that sent a mnn
through the side of a barn or over
the fence. But In spite of this un
desirable advertising the mule is with
os today on more farms than ever
before, .He Is a hard and rugged
worker and Is especially adapted to
the more hilly farms of our agricul
tural sections. Even through the
Middle West there are some unties
that have more mules than horses. In
1807, the mules of the United States
numbered 822,000, with an average
value of $00.94. In 1890 the number
was 2,321,000, valued at $78.25. By
1914 the number had , Increased to
4,123,000, with a value of $119.84 per
head. On January 1, 1920, the num
ber was 4,995,000 and the value per
head was $147.
The mula has gained rapidly In
popularity, In many localities taking
the place of the horse, and has also
prevented the Introduction of the trac
tor In many places. There are not a
few mule ranches over the United
States, the owners finding It a pay
ing kind of stock to raise. The de
mand Is Increasing and those having
them for sale cannot supply the mar

CONDEMN TERM "FAIR SEX"
English Women Go on Record as Op
posed to Phrase "Belonging to
a Bygone Ag.H
It has been officially declared In Eng
land that women, en bloc, are neither
"week" nor "fair." At least the Wom
en's Freedom league, under the lead
ership of Councilor Margaret Hodge,
has put a ban on the terms "fair sex"
and "weaker sex." "Spinster" and
"mother-in-law" have also been put
on the feminine tndra. Further, It Is
averred, once and for all time that:
Woman's Judgment Is as good us
man's.
Women talk less than men.
Women can keep a secret.
"One irritating custom," said MV?s
LTodge, "comes from an age when to be
fair was woman's first and foremost
duty. The only women who counted
were for ornament rather than for use.
Women may' be the weaker sex physi
cally, but certainly not morally. The
enme mother-in-law Is still the stand
by of farces and comic literature. It
Is an idea from some bygone age."
