They have, in fact, an interest for all who value health and hygiene and are looking for surroundings where these ; first aids to happiness are most likely to be found. ; 'According to a report issued by the f American Child Health association, California ranks fourth among the states in having a low infant mortality percentage. And the rate is being steadily reduced, f Los Angeles, too, has made a - showing of which her citizens may be proud. From 1911 to 1915 an average Of eighty babied out of jevery 1000 died each year. From 1916 to 1920 the rate was reduced to seven '. ty-one per 1000.' ;. !'"(' '! i- - -t ' WWhen" we consider the large foreign population of Los Angeles,, whose standards 6f living are below those of the white American, the figures are very creditable to our state and our city and bear striking tribute to the health! ulness of the great southwest."

JJercules lies south of the pole, and right above him is the Dra gon, or Draco J ! : The creature's head Unformed of four fairly bright stars, making a quadrilateral or four-sided fig ure. From the head of Draco the dragon's body can be traced in a long line "of stars curving eastward, then to the north in the direction of the, pole star to a point above Hercules, where it bends 1 sharply westward. The monster's body lies chiefly be tween its head and the bowl of the Little Dipper. : - i t Draco is a i constellation which makes a circuit of the pole that ls, it prograsses around the pole without at any time dipping be low the horizon In our latitude. It ls therefore visible at all hours of the night in the mid-latitudes. You may see it best, however, . in the early evening hours In the summer months. But If you would happen to tel! her that she did not look well she would reply that she 'never felt better in herj life. You don't wonder, do you. that everyone dis liked her?

A small boy handed In tho fol lowing in, an examination paper in United States history: "General Braddock was killed in the Revolutionary War. He had three horses shot under him and a fourth went through his clothes." Just a Moment ' t Dr. Samp: j "Pahdon me fo jes' a secont, brother Lee, Ah is got to hab the drill."

"I don't believe you would be satisfied if dollar bills would grow , in your garden. What would you like to have come up?", s 1 "Why, I would, too! I tell yon what I'd just love. I wish a row of little silver bells would grow along 1 there, and cockle-shells there, and a row of little maids, around the edge. Why. I would think that was just lovely." That very night Tommy and Jack visited the ten cent store. All night long they worked hard and I ; wish you could have seen Mary's garden the next morning. It was a little dream garden, just as she said she would love it. If anything at all would i have pleased her it surely would. "Well for once in her life Mary is going to have to say something Is nice." Jack said as he stretched his back.' ' .' But that Just shows he did not know his siter. Contrary Mary looked at her little garden in contempt. "How perfectly dls gusting." she sneered.

One of the school teachers in one of the slum districts in London found that out ot 42 pupils averaging less than 12 years of age twenty had made small bets on horse races.

WRANGLE OVER WRAXGEL Explorer Steffansson insists that the British government hoist its flag on Wrangel Island, the outpost of the Aleutians, off the coast ot Alaska. It has been claimed by Russia, England and the United States and is said to be craved also by Japan. As it is virtually uninhabitable, it would see to be hardly worth a wrangle although Uncle Sam acquired pos session through visitation In 1881.' HISTORIC UTTERANCES M. Dupuy, one-time president of the chamber of deputies, who has Just died in Paris, deserves more than passing notice. He has in him the stuff of which heroes arc made. When an anarchist threw a bomb into the chamber and the deputies were in near panic, almost mortally wounded M. Duouy staggered to his feet and, raising his voice, announced clearly, "Gentlemen, the sitting will continue." That- speech de berves to be immortalized along with the plucky words of Theo dore Roosevelt, when wounded by a fanatic, "It takes more than one shot to bring down a bull moose." There is no human quality deserv ing a higher praise than the cool ness that averts a panic. THE LONESOME STATE No other state has stepped up to share New York's renown as the nullifier of the constitution and the repealer of its laws, although the New York wets had hopes of Illinois and Wisconsin. In defy ing everything west of the Alle ghanies and most' that lies-east of them. New York wins a de-1 scriptive title, "The Lonesome State." Capper's Weekly. SHEIKS AND SHEBAS Dr. A. W. Laforge, expert diag nostician, delivered an address before the American Institute of Homeopathy in Chicago in which he states that one ofhe most vir- ulent modern diseases was in me growth in the numbers of "sheiks and shebas" in the United States. A sheik, according to the eminent doctor of medicine, is not merely! a handsome young man of the matinee-idol type, but' one who Is addicted to the wearing of flat derbies, bell trousers and charac terized by a violent aversion to work. : The shebas also suffer from this peculiar dislike of hard toil and can be recognized at sight by their rolled hose, fantastic garb of violent hue and the abun dance of paints and powders used to calcimine their youthful coun tenances. The disease is not incurable, according to the doctor. It is. he states, the result" of the "high tension of the age in which we nre living, combined with idleness, 1 working on the nervous systems ot the boys. and girls." Bewilder ed and ' non-plussed parents who find 'themselves with young "sheiks and shebas" On their hands are advised to start admin istering remedies at once. The NO FEAR OF EVIL resulting rrom change of diet, water or climate concerns thoM who take on the'shorl trip, summer vacation or long journey. cure, j it seems, is simple. It is the, one thing they abhor most, but the sole thing that will effect a- recovery. , Hard work will wilt the dapper elegance of the mosC confirmed sheik. Dr. Laforge states, and rapidly change him in to a normal person. . The same drastic methods applied to his sis ter, the sheba,! have quite revolu tionary resultsJ Dishes and house cleaning for her, and farm work for her brother, will 6peedlly re move this modern complex and turn' the young Idea toward nor mal interest's. ; ? THE SOLDIERS' BONUS The soldiers' bonus has found favor in twenty-eight of the states of the Union. In sixteen ot them bonus bonds have been sold to the extent of $242,000,000. . This does not include Wisconsin, where various counties have-voted bonds or levied taxes for bonus uses to the amount of some $20,000,000. Four states have authorized bonds to the extent ; of something over $65,000,000. In seven other states bonds are proposed, but not yet fully- authorized,' aggregating $110,000,000. j The bonus propo sition has failed in ,only five states inwhich an effort has been made tore ward soldiers with an extra money payment. Only in Oklahoma was the bonus actually voted down by the people. In the states in which it was reject ed the total proposed bond issue was about $100,000,000.
