Simultaneously reports from Miami told 01 the inauguration of a new mall and passenger air route from Cuba to Cristobal by way of Kingston, Jamaica by the Pan-American Airways. The new service, which was said to In- volve the longest regularly scheduled overwater flight in the history of aviation, was inaugurated by a 22 -pati - Imager flying boat which covered the 647 Alio distance front Kingston to Cristobal, entirely out of sight of land, in 6 hours and 50 minutes. The entire trip was without difficulty, the reports said, and there were only slight varlittlons fromescitedule at any point. Grass Plays Important Part in Earth Building Grasses play an important part in building up the very earth we live on, says Dr. A. O. Hitchcock, of the De• partmeat of Agriculture, an example of which is the ease of beachgrass (Ammophilla arenaria) building bar- rier dunes along the north Atlantic Coast of the North American conti- nent, Beachgrass is found as far south as Maryland.

This promise, might be fuifiIled, if the creature that is said to live and breathe in, the biologist's test tithe, a thing without parents and reputably bornindefiance of all accepted and recognized processes of procreation, does not disappoint itshuman creat- ors, According to the dispatch it is said that one unnamed' person connected with the experiment admitted roluct• antsy that "something approximating life" has been produced and '"that something amazing and revolutionary has taken place there." The cepa; invent was described as fol lows t "Brats t1ssues taken from a freshly killed animal were reduced to 'ashes electrically. irrom the, resulting sub- stances certain salts and other ele- ments were obtaihed. To this sub- stance was added protein • cud, per- haps, some outer elements and chemi- cals. The whole. was treated electri- cally, — "Before the eyes of the astonished scientists there appeared a 'thing' with characteristics of a living colt or protozoa. The 'thing' possessed the power of locomotion. It also possess. ed and utilized the Power of'procrea- tion by fission or cell division. It fed on the protein itt the test tube, con- suming It as other unicellular animals do their nourishment, "Int addition it was found that the 'thing' was susceptible to !narcotics, becoming dormant when sebjected to certain drugs and later recovering. "It wag declared that owing to the care taken in the experiment no liv- ing thing Could possibly have entered the ingredients of the concoction." Dr. William E.

In this connection rag- ged teeth and unclean mouths aro known to frequently produce cancer. Keep your mouth clean and go to the dentist frequently, - It has been said that beautiful wo- men rarely have cancer of the skin because they keep their skins clean. Cancer of the uterus kills many wo- men. It -would hill fewer if women would learn to visit their physicians immediately upon noticing any femin- ine irregularities. Cancer ofthe breast is not terribly dangerous if it is treated early. As soon as a little lump is noticed the physician should be made aware of it. If this is done early enough the possibilities of a cure aro almost nine out of ten even should the lump prove to be a malig- nant form of cancer. In cancer of the breast every week's delay reduces the chance of recovery. After one receives an injury to a bone It should be x-rayed if the swell - dug and discomfort do not disappear in a few weeks. It is lost difficult to recognize the signs of internal can- cer but persistent indigestion or a. feeling of discomfort or a "new" feel- ing inside should be viewed with sus- picion anis the doctor consulted; One of the best ways of protecting your- self against cancer and the fear of cancer is to vlsit,the family physician once a year for a thorough physical oxamtnation, whether one is sick or well.

They are rarely heard nowadays,'however, because of a.curi- ous superstition•that a skilful per- former beeomes.se wedded to his music that he is forever playing, to the•ex- clusion of all other activities.- This, the Chinese apparently fear, ,wound proveinconvenient fir the player and .might become annoying to his neigh - hers. ' Another thing that_hascaused the popularity of the instrument to wane in latsyears'is the fact that because it is played hugely by sucking the breath in, as yell as by blowing, it causes inflammation of the bronchial tubes and .diseases of the ,ungs, and it is said that no habitual player ever lives longer than forty years, Dr. Laufer states, This is a serious mat- ter to the Chinese,'to who Iongevity is one of the fundamental ideals. The mouth pipe or° -an, or "sheng" as the . Chinese call it, consists of a bowl -shaped body of lacquered wood at the end of a tube with a mouth- piece, which gives sl a ,resemblance to a'. large t)teerschaum pipe as well 'ss to a saxophone. Seve .teen bamboo tulles of varying lengths are trzerted in the top of the. body, which provides the wind 'reseevoir. Thirteen of the tubes are fitted with tree reeds similar to those used in•grand organs today: ^acct of the tubes hos a small hole jt,st above the roint where it enter the reservoir, The harmonium, or small organ with free reeds but without pipes, was the first occidental develonment from this instrument, says Dr. Laufer. The principle of the free reed became wide- ly known in Europe through -he in- troduction of the Chinese reed organ at the end of the eighteenth century, Prof. C. G. Kratzenstein invented the harmonium after examining a eheng .1 to his native city. The first in- strument of this type was the Fan's 'pipes of the ancient' Greeks, which consisted of a set of pipes of different length bound together and made to Sound by the player's breath. About. two centuries B.C. a device, was in- vented for forcing air into the pipes by water power, and keys were added to open and close the pipes. the hy- diau:ic orgdn was common among the Greeks and Romano. Centuries later the bellows came into use, instead of water power, to furnish ale. An organ built in the tenth century for Win- chester Cathedral in England had a bellows so powerful that 70 tnen were needed to pump it. In the organs of today the power that pumps the beI- lcws 'would be equal to 50 or even 100 horsepower. Yet so improved is the mechanism of the keyboard that the t uch of a finger is all that le re- quired to open the pipe -valves. The greatest changes are duo to the use of electricity. So much of the machin- ery is now operated by electricity that the inside of the organ looks like a telephone exchange.—The American Weekly. Billion Birthdays Flightless Planes To Usurp Small Golf If the average life of a human being be taken as one second of a new time scale the earth is just passing its first birthday and the'human race,has been in existence only a part tf one day, but the universe of strsa has been going on about as now for at least five thousand years, So Professor George von Hevesy of the' University of Freiburg, Germany, concluded in his review of present, knowledge of the age of the earth in' the' opening Yec- ture of the George fisher Baiter Lec- tures in Chemistry at Cornell Uriver- sity, recently published by the New York City scientific periodicakucience. Following many previous students of earth age, Professor ITeresy' has cal- culated from the slow disintegration of radioactive chemical elements the trate elapsed since individual speci- mens of minerals r entaining these elements, were far :l. Some such mineral specimens tc •.n out to be well over a hellion years c:-1 but the earth as a whole must be r :der still, sine tho'filanet's crust nm,t have been in place and said bei. ea' these irne- aecording minerals could have been deposited in it.. Accordingly, Proles 101 Hevesy has extended these radio- active adiaactive calculations to the whole ma- terial of the earth, obtaining a figure 'of about three -billion years ;for the time since the planet existed as a ball of white-hot gas drawn out of the sun. Enormous as is this time by human standards, itis but a moment, he finds, in the age of thc known universe, for astronomical calculations indicate tltgt the nvertfge star has been in existence for between fivethousand billion and ten thousand billion! years, Inhale-Minard's Liniment for.

This comparative' idea was good, but she had always used the 'wrong measuring stick She had held him up against another In- stead ofagainst himself. The truth was that her own pride was hurt. She didn't want Jim to succeed above her own son. The inference to be drawn, then, by George or anyone else is that if Jin'ltad missed two words out of ten, then George's misspelled words would' not have mattered. But what did Elsie's . mother do about the spelling record? Since both mothers, -afterwards, told the teacher. all that was said about it, another method of dealing with unsatisfactory school work is available. , "When do you have the next'Beet. ling test?"

What can yon .do that you didn't do this week, so as to win in a contest with your best record?" "I'll review my words for five min utes every tray," volunteered Elsie; "title time I let nay reviewing go utt- til the last day," There was not a word from Elsie's mother about what anyone else in the eiaas had done. Her little daughter was encouraged to do her own best, not the best of some other pupil. Elsie was held responsible. She was made her own disclplluarlau. She was ltot crushed by the recollection of her own lapse in spelling and by the vic- tory of a classmate. Rather was site inspired to press forward towards her own shining ldeai.
