Hart’s veto was right or wrong, it would pass understanding if the people, acting as private individ- uals, would take a similar position with reference to the Children’s Orthopedic hospital. Shall this institution, dedicated to the noble work of restoring crippled children to health and vigor, be itself crippled by lack of a paltry few dollars? What shall it profit this city and state to wax big in popula- tion, and in commerce, and in shipping, if even one child shall be denied an opportunity to have its little limbs straightened?

It behooves the United States to keep this new develop- ment or martial skill in the Orient under close observation. America cannot afford to be unprepared in the air. The science of aerial flight owes its fundamental principles to American inventive genius. If America remains fit, and organizes in advance against trouble provoking nationalities, hostilities are not likely to be directed against us. The development of aviation for war purposes by America will go a long way toward making war impossible. America cannot be lax and be safe. woman. They grew great girls in 1451.

The total number of executions was 36, of whom nine were men and 27 women. Only two persons are known to have been put to death by burning in the Puritan colonies, and in both cases the penalty was for murder under peculiarly atrocious circumstances. Burning people to death became frequent in the latter part of tho eighteenth century, and is still indulged in; the Puritans never did it but twice, and then by solemn judicial process and under very unusual circumstances, But until 1790, in England, women counterfeiters were burned to death; and Blackstone tells us that burning was the usual punishment of fomale traitors After 1790, except in a few instances, the women were first strangled and then burned; but a woman was burned alive without previons «trangling in Ty. burn tn 1726. In 1773 a woman was burned in Eng. land in the presence of 20,000 epople, and there were other executions of women by fire in 1777 and 1786. That wan the way they did it in Merrie Hngland in Blackstone's day, in the day of Sir Matthew Hale, and until after the American Revolution.
