Some 600 students of ‘Temple University signed without fully reading a petition for an extra holiday, which ended as follows: ‘We are resolved to spend the day in merrymaking and leisure, at which each one will decapitate himself with ex- treme joy.” - Ever hear of Snorri Karlsefni? No? Well, according to Dr, Amandus Johnson of Chicago, decipherer of old Scandanavian records, Snorri was the first white child born in America, in 1004, some 583 years before the birth of the famed Virginia Dare. A lawsuit started in the year 1827 in which four districts in France contended for 16,000 acres of land was recently set- tled by dividing the land among the four districts, An apparently reasonable deeci- >, sion, even if it did take more than 600! be no better off.

All multiple fathers Tuttle’s brood range from infancy an to 21 years. Mostly they’re probably as good as ordinary youngsters, but now and ‘then they get rampageous, and in such a mood their numbers are a great advantage. | a When a lot of kids gang up on Dad, what | ean the old man do? One day lately a re- bellion of unusual scope broke out. The oldest son floored Dad. Then, before he could rise, seven or eight or nine of. the others—he can’t be exact about that— | piled into him... When the melee was over, Dad was pretty well used up. Then came the bright idea. Accord- ing to the Kansas laws, five or more per- sons engaging in violent demonstrations gonstitute a mob, and a citizen suffering from mob violence is entitled to colléct damages from the community. So Tuttle is disposed to sue the city for what his family mob did to him. More power to Dad. cohtrélled. Mobs must be LOTTERIES PROPOSED more money for governmental purposes have given rise to the serious suggestion } that a Federal lottery be established witha rake-off for the benefit of the national treasury. i To,most persons this proposal will probably seem immoral and absurd to- day, yet in the early years of our national existence public lotteries were very com- mon. Prior to 1820 no les’ than 70 teries were authorized by Congress. The Continental Congress in 1776 con- ducted a lotter$ to. raise money. for the Revolutionary Army; President Washing- ton approved a lottery for building a-part of the national-capital; Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Williams and Columbia. uni- versities were supported in part by lotteries in early days and innumerable _ lotteries were openly and legally conducted for | lot- } varous: othér charitable ‘and * educational enterprises, Most European governments have at one time or another employed national lot- ‘teres as a Means of raising funds for their ‘public treasuries. Cuba has conducted a national lottery since the foundation of the republic. ‘All South and Central: American countries have national lotteries. The foregoing facts are cited, not as an argument for a national lottery at the present time, but merely to show that what would now be considered a most immoral proceeding was in earlier times looked up- on as an entirely proper means of raising public funds. QUICKER MATURITY Doctors are doing as much to _ phy- sical constitutions nowadays as statesmen do to political constitutions, largely with gland extracts. The latest marvel of this sort is an extract or hormone of the thymus gland—situated ie ot Arid!’ knowh in calves.as eweétbread— maturity. More wonders may come from shis discovery than from thyroid and ad- renal extracts. ; According to a report made by Dr. Leonard G. Rowntree, director of the Philadelphia. Institute for Medical Re- third of the usual time. The raté of growth in the early. stages is extraordinary, and the: rats tended to become larger than usual, as well as more gentle and. docile. If it worked similarly with human beings as presumably it would, boys and girls would be mature at the age of eight or ten years. The reports suggest that mental precocity would develop alang with phy- sieal preeocity. A strange feature of this process is first and second generation treated. In the third and fourth generations comes the re. | markable growth referred to. Tt is suggested that this treatment may be used to produce finer breeds of cattle in half the usual time. Applied to chil- dren, it would produce a wonderful gen- eration of grandchildren. But they might half the time, so would old age. | | The present frantic efforts to : mai They do it }iicie:tot at: Duval and There Ami sei boys.
