Preventing Loss of ldentity.
All parents are being urged to have
their children’s fingei-prints taken, so
that in case of disappearance from
home their whereabouts c¢an be more
easily ascertained than with a meager
description. The police department of
any city would be glad, with this idea
in view, to make and file the finger
prints. . Argentina is far in advance
in this matter. In that country the
fingerprints of every individual are
taken and filed away for possible fu
ture reference. Every now and then
one hears of a case where somebody
has forgotten all about himself, and
does not know who he is or where
he belongs. This aflliction, fortunately
rare, is called “aphasia.” If the finger
prints of such an unlucky individual
were on file somewhere, the tusk of
identifying him might be greatiy slm
plified. Fingerprints taken in baby
hood do not alter their pattern through
life. Every day the War and Navy
departments are called upon to locate
young men who are missing from thelr
homes. With only the names (which
may have been changed) and the viague
descriptions, it is always difficult and
often impossible to respond to the de

Patriotic Movement in Canada. |
A new organization, to be known as
the Daughters of Canada, with head
quarters in Toronto, has been incor
porated. The aim of the organization, |
it is stated in the letters putent grant- |
ed by the department of state, is “to
develop a spirit of true patriotism
hased on love and pride in country,” It
is also the purpose to study the con
stitutional history and pyouraphy of
Canada, to advance the knowledge of;
sound domestic prineiples, to stimu
late a love for Canadian art, music and
literature in the schools and commu
nity centers, and ‘“to welcome |
strangers within our institutions, and
to encourage them to become citizens
of Canada.” “

Treatment of Goiter With Radium. |
Dr. A. N. Clagett (Illinois Medical
Journal) believes that radium should
be given a trial in exophthalmic goiter,
because there is no mortality, no scar,
no pain, and only three or four days
hospitalization. Its advantages over
the X-ray are that it produces no dis
coloration of the neck, there is less
time consumed in the treatment and it
is simpler to apply. The selective ac
tion of radium destroys the harmful
cells, while not disturbing the healthy
cells. Surgery has not been necessary
in any one of forty-seven cases extend
ing back over three years.

“What for?”
“So’s we can have the cash.”
“I don't see the sense of it. A man
with a few bushels of potatoes looks
a lot wealthier than a man with a
handful of money.”

“PILGRIMS” ALL YOUNG MEN
Though We Are in the Habit of Speak:
ing of Them as “Fathers,” They i
Were Youthful. l
Among the contributions to the liter
ature of the tercentennial of the land
ing of the “Pilgrim Fathers” is a
paper by Sir' Arthur E. Shipley, mas
ter of Christ's college, Cambridge, and
vice chancellor of the university. In
an editorial note introducing his article'
in the New York Times it is statedl
that he is well known as a zoologist, |
but why that qualifies him to wrilel
learnedly about our Pilgrim ancestors,
who never heard of Darwin or his
evolution theory, is unrevealed in the
note, We take it that the alleged
“fathers” never claimed kinship with
the anthropoids and that they looked
much higher for information abeut
their origin than to a noted zoologist,
But, be that as it may, Sir Arthur does
inject a new thought, while not tell
ing us much else that is new about
those valiant and earnest souls who
embarked on the tiny .'\luy!ln\\'m"——tinyl
in our eyes now, but not so (-onsid-l
ered by them—and buffeted the Atlan
tic gales for two months in search of
a lund hospitable to them in the matter
of religious freedom if not in climate.
When we speak of them as “fathers”
we conjure up a vision of grim-faced
men with long beards, venerable sen
iors bringing to the new world the wis
dom of their ripe years and long ex
perience in hoth the joy and the value
of treading the narrow path, but it Isl
an illusion. Sir Arihur says lh(el'ei
was only one of them over thirty-two
years of age. That one was Captain
Miles Standish, the valiant soldier, who
was only thirty-six, They were all
born about the year 1588 the time
when the wonderful Spanish urluuda‘
came to grief before the elements and |
the ships of Sir Francis Drake, and
every last one of them was a loyal
subject of King James and proud of
that fact. They were young, vigorous,
enterprising Englishmen, genuine colo
nists, seeking religious freedom but not
political exile. It took men and women
of such youthful vigor to endure the
hardships and dangers incident to the
first few years of their colonial life.
Ever since that day it has been llke
young men and women who have plo
neered the way across the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific taking
with them the same spirit of attach
ment to the home land while build
ing homes in the new. The “fathers”
have remained at home, while the
“sons” have fared forth, spreading the
Mayflower spirit from ocean to ocean
and now across the seas to many lands
where it is growing and fruiting into
what we may hope will eventually en
compass the whole earth.—Bt. Louls

Discovery Credited to Cattle.
It was owing to cattle refusing te
drink from an Impregnated spring on

of thelr verdict all the aristocracy of
England were hurrying to Epsom a
few years later to take the waters. ‘

Head of Great Locomotive Works Has
More Than Business Acumen to
His Credit.
On a hot day last summer an ex
press train betweer Philadelphia and
New York came to a jolting halt, says
Nation’s Business, The passengers
first joked, then grumbled, then grew
impatient. A big man, white-haired,
but youthful in motion, climbed down ,
from a chalrcar and marched up to}
the engine, which was the center of |
a ring of passengers.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, l
In efiect, the engineer said that the |
engine had quit and he didn’t know
what the several things was the mat
ter with fit.
The big man peeled off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his shirt
sleeves. Then he sort of disappeared
in the interior of the unwilling engine
and the ring of watching passengersf
grew, 1
Half an hod#slater he emerged with |
a smudged face and grimy hands, and |
sald, “She’s all right now,” put coat‘
and waistcoat over his arm and
walked back to his chair car, wlping‘
his hands on a handful of waste he'd
picked up in the cab.
She was all right, and the man who
made her all right was Samuel Mat- |
thews Vauclain, millionaire president |
of the Baldwin Locomotive works, and ‘
a reual boss of their 20,000 workmen. |
Airplane an Essential Now. ‘
