New Mexico Irdians ; Put Faith in Totems The Zuni Indians of New Mexico are divided into a number of totem clans, one of which has the mountain lion for its totem. KEach hunter wha belongs to the priestly brotherhood carves an image of his totem out of some kind of stone. ' Jlf the piece of stone has, to begin with, some semblance to the form of a mountain lion, so much the better. ,It will - then possess more magic when virtue is conferred upon it. The carving finished, they bind. over the region of the heart a flint arrowhead, the heart, as the Zunis regard it, symbolizing the source of magic, the Detroit News points out. = The graven images are kept together in a basket, which is deposited in the ‘“house of the deer medicine” and guarded by an official keeper.

At the festival of the New Year they are removed and arranged in front of an altar in a sacred chamber where the members of certain priestly orders assemble for a religious service. A priest presides and prayers are offered up. : Through this service the images recefve a blessing and become charged with magic powers.. Every hunter carries one with him to bring him good luck when he goes a-hunting.

Would Seem to Have Odd Ideas of Beauty Many volumes could be written on the strange customs of African tribes. Many are grotesque and a large number of them deal with personal appearance, says the Family Herald. Painful processes are resorted to in order to conform to accepted standards of beauty. : In one province women stretch their lips with wooden disks, because it is fashionable to have large lips. When at the age of five or six years a native girl is engaged to marry, a ceremony is held for the first lip piercing. Her future * husband thrusts: a straw through her lips, ‘where it remains for three months, when a round piece of wood is put in its place. Every three months thereafter a larger disk is used until, when the girl has be come a young woman, the wood is as large as an ordinary plate. After about seven years of this treatment the lips are so enlarged that the girl has difficulty in eating. Many then take only liquid food. Big lips, some so large that they can be pulled up over the eyes, are a mark of beauty.

Beautiful Spring Flower Spring beauty belongs to the purslane family and its botanical name is Clay-to-ni-a Car-o-li-ni-an-a. Deep down beneath the surface of the ground is a small, round, swollen stem, termed a tuber, attached to which is a bud. At the advent of spring the bud develops into a long aerial stem, bearing two grasslike leaves opposite to one another. At the top is a loose, delicate cluster of flowers. Each has two sepals, five white or pink petals, veined with rose color, five stamens and one pistil, with three stigams. This charming flower is found usualiy in moist, open woods, having almost as wide a range as its first cousin, the objectionable purslane. A delicate, trembling little plant it is, shivering at the slightest breath of wind. Its name of spring beauty is quite appropriate. It is always a delight to the eye and always welcome.—Family Herald.

High Tides : The coast and geodetic survey says that the bay of Fundy tides are, as far as known, the highest in the world. In Noel bay, Minas basin, near the upper end of the bay of Fundy, the mean range of the tide is 44.2 feet and spring range 50.5 feet. At Anchorage, which {8 located on Knik arm, Cook inlet, Alaska, the mean range 30.3 feet, Other localities, for which there have been reported ranges of tide equal to or greater than that an Anchorage are as follows: Frobisher bay, Davis strait, Canada; Ungava bay, Hudson strait, Canada ; Port Santa Cruz to Port Ballegos, Argentina; eastern end of tha strait of Magellan, Chile; Turnagain arm, Cook Inlet, Alaska; bay of St. Michael, France; Bristol channel, Seyern river, England. ) Didn’t “Fill the Bill” Out in Hollywood the. thousand and one applicants for picture engagements hear much about the necessity of procuring types. Directors talk type oftentimes to the exclusion of every othgr qualification for an engagement and a story is told of a film producer who was in search of a man to .play the part of George Washington. One candidate for "the place had put his trunk in hock with all his pictures. So he bought a number of lithographs of the true George Washington, autographed them and sent them in. “T'm sorry,” wrote the producer, “but I can’t engage you. ‘You see, my boy, you’re not’the type.”

By WILLIAM E, KNOX President, American Bankers Asso- | . ciation. | The principle upon which America was founded was Independence. The primary duty of the pioneers:of this

country was to interpret independence in its political sense, but independence today has another gspecial significance in its financial sense. The ability to apply the primary principles of personal economics, to use

e »; ME T Gk ~,, i SR ; . RO 5, Aot William E. Knox

intelligently that . common thing we call “a pay check,” has as much t 9 do with individual independence as any other force in life.

The greatest problem of independence of the average man or woman is how to get out of what they earn a good living and a reasonable degree of financial comforts in old age. We cannot maintain a high standard of national life without an intelligent management of the financial matters that constantly confront the average individual and family. In the accumulation of capital in the hands of the masses lies the hope of the true independence of a nation’s people. The chief concern of wage earners is to get a reasonable degree of financial independence out of what they actually earn,

This question of how to attain personal financial independence has not been worked out on ‘the principle of individual responsibility. The most important social needs today are a course of instruction in public education to give young people a practical notion of how to start life on a sound economic basis; and, secondly, a broad co-operative plan in American industry whereby men and women shall be helped to work out a personal financial prdgram that will guide them toward a definite goal of financial independence. There ought to be a.way for a man, for every dollar put aside each week 10w, to get back four or five doilars a week forty or fifty years later, regardless of where he works. : '%‘he present policy in American industry of helping employees is based on the assumption that they will ultimately become dependent. Old age pensions and other forms of charitable ‘compensation are to be commended in lieu of a praectical alternative, but in principle they are wrong and contrary to the purposes W democracy. What we want is an organized plan that. will direct working people toward independence. No system can claim complete success that does not contemplate the financial independence of evéry employee, according to his ability to earn. It can be shown that American employees, with reasonable prﬁdence on their own part, can reach a fair degree of independence while they are still working. - There must be injected into our indu{‘strial policy an additional economic element of mutual bénefit and permanent value to both labor and capital, concerned not alone with the amount of wages and profits that are earned but with how these earnings shall be nse}d. I am arguing for an industrial savings policy based upon the principle of independence. I am arguing for a new basis of co-operation in industry, for the elimination of poverty, and for a practical demonstration of economic democracy.

When public education teaches school students how to manage their personal affairs intelligently, and when the heads of firms make it a requirement that every young man and young woman who accepts a position shall be working toward a definite goal in:saving money, then we will attack economie illiteracy at the source and begin to save men from the tragedy of financial dependency. ' : e WHERE MONEY IS A NUISANCE | el ; Americans have reason to be thankful for their simple and reliable money. The complications of the Chinese cl*rrency are endless. China possesses 72 different money values. As to the money of account, the Kaikuan T#el, familiar in connection with the customs, the Hankow, Kuantung, Esaoping, Tookwai and others, each differ by varying Dpercentages of weight from the “liang,” or Chinese ounce of silver. If a traveler from Shanghai were to make an extended tour into the interior, passing through the districts where a manifold variety of coins circulate, the constant exchange from one weight or coin to another would dissipate a very large part of his-capital An e’xperience’ traveler has been known to take scales with him, and still his weights and the purity of his silver were subjec“tedh to dispute in different provinces. At coast ports, Mexican, Yuan, Dragon, Hong-Kong and Hankow dollars are all' current, each having its own defined exchange value in the native market, while in the interior the added intricacies of dealing with cents and copper cash are so great that it is astonishing how business can be carried on without endless disputes and a considerable handicap to trade. . .
