Washington.—“Labrador, since the definition ■ of its boundary with Can ada, is being discussed ns a possible summer haven for yachtsmen und a source of wood pulp,” says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. “Though the southern end of Labra dor is in tho latitude of London and ,tlie northern tip opposite Leningrad, jio .warm ocean current washes its shores to produce the temperate cli mate of northern Europe. Cold win ter winds sweep from the Arctic across a rocky and sparsely inhabited const, though explorers say the short summers are delightful. ‘‘The entire region at present has only about 3,000 population, about 000 less than forty years ago. North of the settlement of llopedale, half way up the coast from Newfoundland, tho country is peopled mainly by Eskimos, who have been largely Christianized and live in neat wooden houses, sup porting themselves by seal und cod fisheries. In the interior scattered Indians and half-breeds hunt the fox, marten, hear, wolverine and other fur- hearing animals which haunt ever green woods stretching ns far north as the Arctic boundary of forestation. Rich in Lumber and Water Power. “This fir belt covers large areas of the interior of Labrador in all but tile extreme northern part, hut only touches the roelty coast at the heads of long narrow hoys grp] the mouths of rivers. As a future source of paper pulp tnis hitherto little regarded re gion is of immense value, and already n few mills 'have 'been established and concessions grunted. I’ulp forests are one of the potential sources of wealth. Another asset is unlimited water power of the numerous coastal rivers. “White settlements are mainly on the southeastern coast of Labrador. Here a sparse hut sturdy population of Scotch and Scandinavian extrac tion, together witih n few French Ca nadians, carry on cod and whale -fish eries. The number of white inhabi tants Is quadrupled during the sum mer months by Newfoundlanders who come north for cod fishing, the prin cipal industry. Of late years the whale, seal and cod have all de creased in numbers in Labrador wa ters. This is thought to be one reason for the steadily decreasing population of the coast. Another factor is that yonlnct with diseases of ct.riHz-a&ioa has proved fatal to whole communi ties of Eskimos und Indians. Mis sionaries are making heroic efforts to save the remainder of the native races from extinction by teaching them to adapt their mode of living to changed conditions, and these good offices have met with considerable success. Scenery Rivals Norway, “One effort fo compensate for the diminishing number of sea animals lias been the introduction into Labra dor of the reindeer, which has for centuries been the main support of the Lapps of northern Scandinavia and which lias been successfully raised in Alaska. This attempt is said to have proved successful and promises one solution of the food prob lem if the development of pulp and milling industries is extended. An other alleviating condition is that work In mills already established lias 'helped lift the workers from entire dependence on the fluctuating for tunes of fishing and hunting. “Wireless stations are bringing larger settlements into Closer contact with the outside world. It is predict ed that when tills means of communi cation has boon extended and coasts are bettor charted and lighthouse's built that Labrador with its rocky In lets and bracing climate will become, like Norway, a rendezvous for sum mer yachtsmen. During the short northern summer Labrador is pictured as a land of supreme ■ beauty. Itocky headlands run far Into tho sea. Deep (lords cut the fir-covered hills of the interior, where subarctic vegetatioii flourishes, and salmon streams invite the fisherman. .Grand falls, on the Hamilton river, is nearly three times as high as NIngarn.” For Her Sake “Ye gods!” exclaimed Smith, who had come up just in lime to see South exchanging $30 for an antiquated car. “What in heaven’s name are you buy ing that old wreck for?” “Well, explained South, “my wife is ashamed every time site lias to ad mit we haven’t a ear. ! can’t afford a car, hut by having this thing that won’t run and won’t need any upkeep In the garage, she’ll ho able to say we have n car and there’ll he no need to go into any furl hot details."

WOMAN, 75, GUIDE OF 3,100 SEM1NOLE.3 Mrs. Davi3 First of Sc?: to Be Tribal Chief. Wewoka, Okla.—Mrs. Alice B. Davis, first woman ctdef of an Indian tribe, now i the seventy-live-year-old “guide, philosopher and friend" of 3,100 Seminole tribesmen, whom she ruled for two brief periods in 1022. She frequently appears in tlie Dis trict court here as an Interpreter in litigation Involving the oil lands of the Sominoles. Her father, John F. Brown, n Scotch physician and graduate of the Uni versity of Edinburgh, had come to the United Stales as a surgeon during the Civil war. At that time he. married Lucy Red Beard, a Seminole. A son became chief of the tribe and won the title of “Governor” Brown. After the leHor’s death Ids sK-inr Alice was appointed by President Harding to serve as chief for one day In order to complete business which her brother had left unfinished. A month later she was reappointed in order to sign nuThoiitativoly a deed in behalf of tlie Seminole cation. The deed called for the transfer of Emu ll a kn mission to a private individual. A school for Seminole girls, the mission had heeri condemned and abandoned nnd tho federal govern ment wished to dispose of it. Mrs. Davis refused to sign the deed. She contended that the bind had been sold without the consent of tile tribe and that tfie Indians received no part of the purchase price. For her refusal she was immediately "separated” from her position as chief of the tribe. Her retirement to private life by no means lessened her activities. She keeps a record of births, deaths and marriages among her people and is always prepared to supply informa tion to a fellow Seminole /ho wishes to prove Ids claim to oil rights. The federal government has sent Mrs. Davis to Florida three times in the last generation to act is Interpre ter In trials involving Seminoles. After being educated in Indian mis sions, tlie daughter of the Scotch physician and the Seminole maiden became the wffo of a white man, George Davis. She is llie mother of eleven’ children. U. S. Tests Solutions for Moth-Proofing Washington.—Clothes moths really do have a hard time chewing up woolen cloth and other fabrics of ani mal origin that have been impreg nated with one of tho various moth proofing solutions now in wide use, according to Dr. 10. A. Back of t he bureau of entomology of (ho United States Department of Agriculture. It is misleading, however, to offer an absolute guarantee of protection, lie stales, and the common method of merely spraying the fabrics of fers hut little protection. The only way to do tho job thoroughly is to wet tho cloth through while it is still in tlie whole piece,’and many manu facturers have installed special ma chinery for tliis purpose. One of tlie favorite and most wide ly advertised moth repellents consists of 97 per cent of water with 3 per cent of sodium aluminum sill™'' v.«um-n mi ir. Though this solution sells at a very high price un der its copyright trade name, it real ly does work, if thoroughly applied. Another newly n arketed class of compounds is mtu, up of the cin chona alkaloids, chemically ullled to quinine. Venetians First to Restore Fading Sight After visiting the University exhibi tion In Rome, with lls quaint and mag nificent collections, says a correspond ent of the Baltimore Evening Sun, there can remain no doubt in one’s mind as to tlie fact Hint Italy has been I he mother of spectacles. Professor Albertottl, a professor at the Univer- | sily of Fndun and dqan of the oculists of Italy, collected a number of ancient and modern hooks about spectacles, and illustrated tlys valuable material hi a treatise which lie dedicated to Senator Isidore del Lungo. Tho latter had attributed the invention of spec tacles for short-sighted nnd long sighted persons to the Dominican monk, Fra Alessandro della Spina, of l’isn. But Professor Albertottl, whose au thority in tills matter is unchallenged, is of tlie opinion that the glory of first, making spectacles must he attributed to Venice, tlie home of glass and pure crystal. • From the codex of the “Ca- pltolarj della Aril” of the stnto of Venice, dated 1201, It is found that severe penalties were applied to dis honest spectacle makers who used sim ple glass instead of pure crystal. Another document proving the an tiquity of spectacles Is a portrait of Cardinal Hugh, of province, painted by -Thomas of Modena, iu jbe chnpter of St. Nicholas at Trevisq, In which tlie cardinal is represented as wearing spectacles. The minister of education, Signor Fedcle, also lent a rare picture by tlie Umbrian painter; Niccolo Alun- no, representing the Virgin and Child with St. Jerome, who is reading a book with n largo pair of spectacles across ]iis Do»e. _____ , , - - s E3 m h ft cs ft ft Louisiana Woman Tells Why She Relics On Cardui For Her Troubles. “When Just a girl,” writes Mrs. G. W, Britt, of Haughton, La., “I suf fered quite a bit at times .... I would be so tired all the time that, I didn’t really enjoy anything. “I took threo bottles of Cardui and very soon, I saw quito a difference. “Later on in life, aftef,. I got married, I was very 1 weak and nervous, before my baby came. I remem bered what Cardui had, done for me when a girl and sent for it again. 1 1 “I only had taken two bottles when I felt so much stronger and bettor. “I am a great believer in Cardui because I know it did mo good."

CARDUI A Vegetable Tonic CJL Inn’s Historic Stone At tlie Griflin inn, at Whetstone, stands an old stone on which the army of Edward IV are said to have sharp ened their swords on the way to the battle of Barnet, on April 1-1, 1-171. j When it was heard that the inn 1 was to he reconstructed it was feared ! jthat (Ids historic stone would bo re moved. This is not so, however; tho I stone is to remain on (he spot on j Which it stood on tlie day of tlie battle. The Gridin inn itself was made fa mous by George Morland, tlie painter, who, on finding himself unable to pay his bill for herrings and gin, “paid” it by painting n sign for tho inn. The sign was lost during a snowstorm 30 years ago.—London Answers. Had Alphabet 10,090 Years Ago, Si one Shows Vichy, France.—That man possessed a definite alphabet 10,0UU years ago, apparently has been established by the finds made by tlie International Commission of Scientists investigating tlie excavations at Glozel, near here. Controversy over the authenticity of (lie supposedly neolithic remains de veloped last September when Rene Dussaud, conservator of the Louvre museum, said that the implements and hones were “planted” nt Glozel less than twenty years ago and prob ably as n hoax. ’Tlie anthropological congress which heard his changes then took up the appointment of a committee to deter mine tlie authenticity of the find. The scientists began digging after taking precautions against fraud. At first they found nothing. But Inter, in a field believed to he the site of a neo lithic cemetery, they unearthed a piece of polished stone. This showed a drawing of a deer nnd six distinct ly engraved characters of the disputed Glozel alphabet and a red clay Idol , on which the. Glozel death mask—a face without a mouth—was visible. | Sawdust for See There Is no reason why sawdust cannot be used year after year for packing ice. It will undoubtedly be come discolored with age, but so long as it does not become mixed with dirt or other foreign matter, its usefulness ns a packing materia! will not be af fected by repealed use. Sawdust de cays very slowly, where conditions qre not at all favorable to fungus growth. The dust is not only cold during use, but is constantly wet—factors which prevent or at least greatly retard the development of wood-destroying fungi Famous Buildings Among the most famous buildings of tlie ancient and modern world are the Parthenon nt Athens, tomb of Mausoius at Hnlicnrnnssus, the Pyra mids, Egypt; the Taj Mahal, near Agra, India; the cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris; the cathedral of Milan, Italy; the cathedral of Cologne, Ger many; Westminster abbey, England; tlie cathedral of St. John tlie Divine, Hornlngside Heights, New York city; the Woolwortii building, New York city; the Lincoln Memorial, Washing ton, D. O. Ex-Kaiser Buys Island in Lake Maggiora London.—A Geneva dispatch to the Dally Express says that the former German kaiser lias bought Iwo small islands in Lake Maggiore, facing Lo carno, Switzerland. One Island is (o be rechristened "Island of the World's Peace.” It Is reported that tlie ex kaiser Intends to build a winter res idence there. The purchase for £11,000 (roughly $70,000) was effect ed by the ex-kaiser's business man ager, Baron Von der Rlieldt. Boy Who “Made Good” Hans Christian Andersen, who be came famous as a writer of fairy tales, was a poor boy. He was not attrac tive or popular and he did not do well in school. He was considered queer and about town was known as tlie "ugly duckling." He was horn at Odense, the oldest town in Denmark. When die king of Denmark heard about Hans’ genius lie took an interest in tlie boy and sent him to n special school. 'Then Hans went traveling. lie had an ambition to write great dramas and novels, hut at this lie was not a success, says Pathfinder Magazine. But in inventing simple little stories lie was tlie world’s master. lie con sidered these Utile tales almost, worth less, but his fame spread all over tlie world. Superior Women Raise Men to Higher Level In a marriage where tlie two people are of unequal birlli or tradition, it is better tlrfit tlie wife bo of superior grade because she is much more likely to lift the marriage and the children to her cultural level, according to Rhcta Childe Dorr In an article In Liberty. “An inferior wife,” explains (lie nti- fllor, “too often drags I lie husbahd down, because, alas, tlie male of tlie species finds it only tob easy to slump. Robert Louis Stevenson noted this among the missionaries of tlie South sens. The men, lie tells us, “after a few years grow careless of dress and behavior, neglect to sliave or ’ bathe, nnd in extreme cases practically go native. Tlie women, on the,contrary, hardly change at all, but after 20 years among natives live, dress, dnd act exactly as they did nt home." Knew He Would Help In a field where Barrie sat thinkin[g out a story there were lambs. One Of them strayed away fom its mother, turned around three times nnd was lost. The bleating was terrific. Bar rie had to put down ids work and lead it back to its mother. Hardly had lie returned to ills seat before another lamb did just the same. They went on doing it, one after another, keeping Barrie "busy taking them back to mamma. But the wonderful tiling was that, after a time, instead of looking for tlieir mother themselves they Just came to Barrie and insisted on him finding her for them. “Barrie contends, says Jerome K. .fe- route, who tells tlie story iii “My Life nnd Times,” that lambs are much more Intelligent than is generally supposed. Words Most Used Analysis of business letters, news papers and ordinary correspondence lias produced a list of 50 words said to be used more frequently than any others: Tlie, and, of, to, I, a, In, that, you, for, it, was, is, will, ns, have, not, with, be, your, at, we, on, he, by, but, my, tills, his, which, dear, from, are, all, me, so, one, if, they had, lias, very, were, been, would, she, or, there, her, an. The first 12 words make, on the average, 30 out of every 100 words commonly used. The 50 words run 50 to the 100 In nil ordinary writing. Only one of the 50, “very,” has more than one syllable. Paper-Shelled Nuts With reference to tlie pecan, the term “paper shell’’ has been extended in its application until it is now prac tically without significance. Originally applied to those .ypes of pecans hav ing such*thln shells that one could easily be cracked when two wore crushed together in one hand, tlie term during recent years lias been made to Include all cultivated varie ties, many of which have fully ns hard shells as the average wild nuts. Prop erly speaking, tho term “paper shell 1 ’ never referred to a particular variety; its correct applicat? n has been only with reference to varieties having verj thin shells. ft ft ft > ftftnnnDZSHDftBftf!
