Old Reciprocity Law Is Revived in Death of Chinese Criminals
Robber Murderers Executed Publicly as Warning
to Others
---
Huchow, March 21—The ancient law of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" was enacted here recently when seven members of the band of armed rebels were put to death in revenge for the seven persons they had to be killed during a series of robberies on the outskirts of this city.
The men were executed on the city execution grounds upon orders of the Chekking provincial authorities. All of them wore the uniforms of river police, which they had chosen as a means of protection.
The seven members of the gang were captured following a prolonged gun battle with soldiers and police. Other members of the gang, barring three who were wounded and are now in the hospital, made their escape. The seven have been identified as soldiers, all from Shuntung.
Following their release from the army they chose the district immediately west of Huchow as their field of operations. They worked in large groups and soo terrified the 'community.
The method of execution of these men, according to Rev. A. William Tierney, an eyewitness, was particularly brutal, satisfying even the most blood-thirsty, revenge-speech taker. The men first were led through the street with their hands securely clasped in his lap. Then a card on his back gives his name, age, home address, crimes accused of and the punishment to be given.
They were then taken to the public execution grounds in the center of the city, where they were made to kneel on the ground. The executioners, stood behind each man
When the command was given the soldiers fired with pistols at less than one foot distance. Each man was left with dozens of persons viewed the bodies.
For five hours the bodies remained untococh, then their heads were severed and hung from poles as a solemn warning to other robbers.

"Blind Dates" Help Add Adventure to Banquet
Clever posters are adressing the walls and bulletin board of Marvin hall. Most of them have to deal with the early acquisition of "dates" for the annual banquet of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The advancing students must be authorized. All of the men must register the names of their dates in Prof. F, Ellis Johnson's office before next Monday.
In a letter to the electrical engineering alumni, Professor Johnson head of the department, has offered to arrange for "birds" dawn for those returning for the annual event. He sets forth the spice of adventure as an additional lure to a pleasant evening.

Centuries ago before time was noted the Chinese could count "one" "two" and after that it was "many." Things were in a little further state of premodern times. But now there was no need for any more complicated method because of the simple living methods of those days. Later when further numbers were needed, the Chinese used four three. That same expression exists today—such as "four score and
**cell.** They began to count or call their fingers. Historians say that this method of finger counting resulted in the becoming right handed, by counting the left fingers with the index finger of the right hand.
Early Babylonians used the methods of counting by ten fingers, thus establishing the system of tens, from which our modern arithmetic system is built. They transcribed it in rock in their uniform system of writing. Also their records show that they knew how to add and of the decimal and integers invented the notation and the division of the day into 24 hours, which is usually attributed to the Babylonians.
About the time of the rise of the Greeks there came the development if barter and exchange, and along

with it came a new method of calculation accompanied by the aid of an instrument called an absurc, according to the old student and teacher, Pythagorus. This instrument is still used in China and also the "sanman"词.
One-Seventh Annual Pneumonia Mortality This Month
Roman notation came from the Etruscan people and involved the system of subtraction. R, is to the left; L, is to the right; perfecting the arithmetic notation, and therefore it is more correct to term our system as Hindu-Arabic. To 22 A. D. annuaries were unknown in the 9th century, so they were traced back to the tenth century.
Sacrateness and religion of this time attributed the origin of all things to numbers. Even numbers were productive, feminine and earthly and the odd numbers were musculine and therefore considered divine. The figures three and seven were partious and therefore good and evil. Four represented the human soul and because of this was the most perfect number.
Scientists have not been able to faster the large number of pneumonia deaths on any single cause, such as latitude, altitude, extreme cold or heat, high or low humidity, age distribution of the population or occurrence of a disease, which can affect the factors it felt to be responsible for the high mortality of this disease.
A cold climate where the average humidity is not high appears to operate in favor of low mortality, a condition illustrated by the very low mortality rates of Canada, Oregon and Washington, also have fewer pneumonia deaths than average while Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey in approximately the same latitude coincide with the highest rate of all the states.

Coming down to the middle ages,
the system of coinage had just been introduced. Before the thirteenth century the center of mathematics was in Italy, but it was transferred to Italy. The Arabic zero (meaning empty) was first used there and was called "sewihrium." The earliest coin dated in Arabic was Sasir in the year 1024. Spain and France had the absurd in the fifteenth century.
Washington, March 21. -March has the highest pneumonia death rate of any month in the year. Frequently more than one-seventh of the annual pneumonia mortality occurs in this single month, according to statistics of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company.

Then suddenly the ungle of an alarm clock rise the air. One of the brothers preened. As the piecing changer continued nonmonotonically with a prow of recognition, half-muttered epithets were ding at its presence.

Doris McDonald Is Saved but Husband Must Die
Montreal, March 21—Doris McDonald, former New York cabinet girl, was saved from the gullets today when the Federal Cabinet at Ottawa committed her death sentence to life imprisonment for her part in the murder of Adalbert Bouechard, Montreal taxi driver.
(United Press)
The commutation of Doris's sentence will not affect the death sentence imposed on her husband. He will be taken to the hospital every night for his part in the murder.
It was said the papers drawn up at Ottawa merely awaited the signature of Lord Willingham, Governor-General, although his signing will be merely a formality as the approval of the cabinet is final.
