More than one criminal has been con victed because of the fact that every gun makes minutely different scratches on bullets fired through It.

Where economic restlessness exists, there Is a strong undercurrent frequently dangerous and abnormal which, regardless of all consequences, claims the right to have its dally bread. It ts folly to attempt to stifle this inner urge. The English queen may have decreed that all unemployed persons either find work on a certain day or gs to prison, but that does not always settle it Prison bars may limit the activities of the physical, but have never yet silenced the power of the mental and spiritual forces. The Roman emperor murdered the martyrs, but the cause which led them to their death still lives, while Rome Is only ancient history. The whole world today Is surcharged with a spirit of "the struggle to survive." The dole generously distributed Is In danger of being pressed too far, especially when It lowers the morale. Some persons are endeavoring to rise above It; especially that person who modestly Insists upon yout acceptance of an article offered for sale Instead of keeping the money you offered as an act of charity. The supreme need of the day is the preservation of thus avoiding the menace of a lower standard of those values which constitute one's right to live. When mutual confidence has been restored the problem of unemployment will be solved and men will have the privilege of earning their dally bread. tdr. In.

The bones of a child's foot are still In a somewhat formative state, and they should not be forced Into strained positions, lest they become slightly deformed, not enough to show, but enough to give trouble later on. The matter of high and low heels Is one that should be taken Into ac count In misses' and adults' shoes. It Is now recognized that not every foot Is best fitted with low heels. Some feet need high heels. But the reverse Is more likely to be true, as more feet d shoes than high. Howneed ever, one woman I knew had constant trouble with her feet and finally went to a famous orthopedic doctor, lie shoes put her Into fairly and she found that her "sensible" shoes had never been the kind for her feet Part of her trouble was Immediately relieved by the higher heels.

In the case of the yeast fly it Is thought that between 2,000 and 8,000 genes are contained In each cell, and since the ordinary e hundred chromosome Is only thousandths of an Inch long It Li easy to see the minuteness of each gene.
