Indian- Happy , Under Feminist Rule Among the Kluofa. a Idll tribe In Assam nortlienztern India, the mutrliircldal system la still lu force, t Toparty belongs to the women; any , thing n m nll earns before marriage be- | <mgs to Ills mother, and after marHuge Io his wife. ( The men are extremely Jolly, says , Basil Allen, late of the Indlnn civil service; the women, despite their , privileged laAltlou, have lost none of , iheir chnrm. and are no more logical : or masculine than their sisters In less feminist countries. They wear n multitude of clothes, unlike their neighbora, the Gnros, who wear extraordinarily little. A woman's dross Is about twelve Inches long, a man's is even less. Mr. Allen says that persons who are shocked at the scantiness of modern female dress should note that In the Assam hills “the more clothes you wear the naughtier you are.'' Several thousands of Assam hlllmen went tn France In labor corps, and those who returned told their fellows something of the war—"and what n eurlmis war ft wns I How men would lie gathered together and a box would arrive, and when the box wns opened men died.” That was the Miklr’s description of a bursting shell. Concerning Love and Things of That Kind ‘‘Most of the troubles men suffer from consist in being loved too well by the wrong woman nnd not being loved well enough by the right one." "The man who makes a good lover Is the man who loves women first and a woman afterwards. Every woman should learn this vita? fact and never forget It. . . . From the general to the particular Is the rule In love. To know how to love one woman you must love all women, or the idea of woman, which Is the same thing." “If you want to lose your wife there's two ways to do it. One way Is to take her where there's nothing to spend money on, no matter whether its in the United States of America or in some hick town in Patagonia. And the other way is to take her somewhere where things arc better than nhe's used to, and where she'll get ideas In her head. Before yftti know where you are she's too good for her own country or her own town, and you can’t get her home again. If you want to keep your wife, keep her where you found her and make out that she's better than her neigh-' hors.”—From “Now East, Now YVest,’’ by Susah Artz. Australia Has Sea Serpent The most extraordinary testimony of the existence today of the sea ser . pent conies from Australia. Fanners living amid the swamps have been perplexed at Hie frequent disappearance of their cattle. They thought thieves took the animals and bore them away by boat, but there were no tracks of men or horses—only a curious wide furrow leading to the bench. One night a boy was awakened by the dogs, and, calling some farmhands, rushed out with his gun. He was amazed to see "a greut dark object resembling an huge snake, traveling across fences and paddocks at a terrific rate. Its head was held high in the air, and in its mouth was a struggling calf." The wide trail wns followed to the beach, and the monster was seen to plunge into the sea. Curious Alloys In these days chemistry is enabling man to make over some of the most useful metals very much nt his will "and greatly to his profit. In Englund interesting reports have been made on the properties of alloys of copper, aluminum and manganese, which show remarkable peculiarities. An alloy of 88 per cent copper, O.ltf) per cent aluminum nnd 2.01 per cent manganese showed enormous tensile strength, a cold-drawn bar having a yield point of 40.88 tons per square inch mid nn ultimate stress of 52.0 S tons per square Inch. Another alloy Is so hard that it con take a cutting edge sharp enough to sharpen a lead pemil. The British admiralty has been experimenting with these alloys in order to determine their resistance to corrosion in sea water. Leaders Too Strenuous A popular musical composer recent ly Incurred popular censure in Madrid for beating time with his hands aloue instead of using a baton, when conducting a revue of hit? own composition at the Esclava theater. This incident recalls to the Epoca de Madrid the tragic fate of Lull!, a celebrated composer. It is related i that while conducting a To Deum iu the chapel at Versailles as a thanksgiving for the recovery of Louis XIV •he struck himself a blow with his baton, as a result of which gangrene set in, causing bls death. Triumph Over Handicap Although he lost his hand! tlirougn burns when he was only two years old. :M. Wilson, au engineer’s clerk, has roared a family, and writes, sketches, paints, swims and plays cricket and billiards. He bus been pushed into a burning rubbi.«l| pile, twice saved from drowning, smashed up in buggy and bicycle accidents, injured by kicking liorecs, bus chopped off a toe with an ux and lias sustained injuries to bis head.

NOTED LECTURER AT UJJ. CHURCH ( (CONTINUSD FROM P«OE ONE) that you present your bodies a living sacrifice to God which is your Spiritual worship.’ Rom. 12:1 "Third — Special manifestation of God through the body; Can the world see Jesus in you; can the world see Jesus in me? The face of Moses shone with God’s glory when he came down from the mount. So we should keep these bodies in such a healthy, clea ncondition that the world will see the difference between the be liever and those who do not follow Christ. The Desecrated Temple "Rhelms destroyed by war Ulustreates how we can destroy this temple of God. 'lf any man destroys The temple of God, him shall God destroy. Not by special acts of provl dence, but hy the working out of laws, of nature—’Whatsoever a num’ sowr that must he also reap,' is nature’s stern decree. We mar these temples by improper eating. Thos. Edison once said: ’We are a food drunk nation.' Quite true. More people die annually through improper eating than by the drinking of alcoholic liquor.” In n most practical way, Rev. McIntyre used the illustrations of how folks breathe, eat and walk, and said that most folks needed to learn these three simple ways of doing these things. * Speaks At Hinh School At the high school this morning Rev. Mclntyre urged jhe students “to be fit” all the time. It was not a spasmodic training that is needed, but 1 daily training for life. Proper diet, txerclse were all essential to a better mental, physical and spiritual life Rev. Mclntyre told the students he vas acquainted with and had asso Mated with Dr. Neismith, now of the I nlversity of Kansas, the originator of the great game of basketball. In speaking about the students of the chools he said, "Fifteen milion ou* it twenty million scholars are physcal defective. One out of every four are undernourished. Eight millior neople In the U. 6. are daily severely 'll, which meant the average loss of t mouth to the average workman and he loss of one billion, eight hundred million dollars in wages.” He asked the question. "Is cigarette snicking more injurious to women and men, boys than girls?” He ans wered morally no, but physically, yes |He cited to the finding of reliable sources which show that 60 per cent of the children born to cigarette smoking mothers died before they were two years old. Then he brought forth the recognized conclusion of the finding's of the committee to the fact that the . i reproductive organs of the female I were effected disastrously more sc .'than with wen. He said, in dosing, "My motto—a strong, clean body. What is your I motto for life?” , o HUNDREDS SEE BIG MONOPLANE PASS OVER CITY (COM IXI ED FROM crossing border at Brownsville, Tex., : and continuing, if all is well, from | Tampico to Mexico City, 22(1 miles.

Lindbergh, dropped out of ' tlie douds in a palatial all-metal airplane here today to have lunch in Indiana polls. When the huge tri-niotored Ford pine landed gracefully at the Indiani apoliri airport, assembled reporters i saw a smiling woman climb from the p machine, shivver in the cold breeze ! and theu heard her say: "It’s cold outside.” Mrs. Lindbergh is flying from De- , troit to Mexico City to spend the , Christmas holidays witli her famous son. , “it's a wonderful experience,” Mrs. i Lindbergh said. "The trip is the big , gest thrill I've ever had. We have , • been most comfortHble.
