Mrs (Maude Coppes. and Mrs. Elizabeth Zook Differ on Indians’ Origin Ethnologists differ concerning the origin of the American Indians. In numerous classifications, however, they are considered us a branch of the Mongolian family which at. a remote period in the world's history found its way from Asia to tids continent and litre remained in Isolation for thousands of years, developing their pe cullaritles of race and civilization.

Ostrich Classed as an Error of Nature The full-grown ostrich sometimes weighs more than 300 pounds and is. •is much as o ne feet high, writes Martin Johnson iji it. Satind iv Evening I’est. HU most u .irked ■hy aetcriy tic is the iiici rliat he has only two toes—the third a: l' : ;h oil each foot. lu South America i-U're is another large bird—the rhea—which is also called an ostrich, tins bird can he distinguished front the true ostrich by its having tlm • ■ ■ ■ 1 ' According to : uie uifk in;ri o>lr.v: u.,d ~ve toes. llov. o. i c ni"dci ii.n.rd can prolmbi.v run tas ■i o 11 1 1 i . e two it has now than coo! . bis ancestors with five; Arabian legend has It that the os frich is the result of a union' between the camel and a dodo bird. Certainly it inherited some of the worst characteristics of both. Its awkward shape, tlie uselessness of its wings, its seeming lack of pleasure in life, all indicate that it is one of nature’s errors. / - Tlte only weapon at the command of the ostrich is Its foot. The terrific downward stroke of its huge toe driven by a muscular thigh the thickness of a leg of mutton is easily the equal of the kick of a full-grown horse. A blow from it will break a rib or the bnekbone of any ordinary animal, lit addition to the force of the blow, the sharp claw can tear skin and tiesii like a military saber. Powers of Endurance in*Wild Creatures Dogs and wild animals of the same family are remarkable for their quickness and staying power in running. Wolves will travel CO miles in a night Nansen saw arctic foxes on the ice, nearly 500 miles from land, and found their tracks in the snow on the parallel of 85 degrees north. Eskimo dogs can travel 45 miles in live hours, according to Hayes, who relates that he drove his dog team seven miles in half an hour. A Siberian dog on good ice will draw about 80 pounds; our ordinary dogs at full speed run at the rate of front 33 to 40 feet per second; setters and pointers can travel about IS % to 21 7-10 miles; per hour, and cun maintain this speed for two or even three hours. Foxhounds are very fast, and in a recent trail one of them beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in sir minutes and a half. Greyhounds can run at the rate of 59 to 75 feet per secood. Many Uses for Flaxseed Flaxseed is grown primarily for the production of linseed oil, each short ton of seed producing from 70 to 80 gallons of oil, which is used in the manufacture ot paints and varnish, linoleum, oilcloth, printers’ ink, patent leather. Imitation leather and sundry other products The cake that is left after the oil is jiressed out Is valued ns a feed for lairy and beef cattle and finds a ready market. A large part of the cake produced in this country is exported, principally to the Netherlands l , Belgium and the United Kingdom. The United States is the second largest producer of tlaxseed in the world, but, in spite of this fact, this country is ukn the world’s largest Importer of this product. Our production ordinarily takes care of about 55 per cent of our domestic requirements. This year the United States produced approximately 24,270,(X)0 bushels. Less Rain in Future? During the last half century ttie world’s average rainfall has, according to weather records, decreased -a bout one per cent. This has been considered due to .outside influences such as variation .in sunlight, but an Indian weather expert- has put forward a suggestion for the decrease that is quite plausible. He suggests that the lack of rain may due to an oil film, less than a millionth of at. inch thick, spread on the: surface, of the ocean by ships that burn oil for fuel. Evaporation of ocean water is the chief source of 'tain, and tills film of oil may be sufficient to retard evaporation. The Shorter Word The day before Christmas, Edith, ten, had a number of packages tied np for distribution. The doctor felt of one intended, for Uncle John, “That's some tobacco,” said the doctor, as he fingered the package. ‘How can you’tell?” asked Edith. “Because I am a good diagnostician,” he replied. Then, as Edith seemed somewhat dazed at the big word, the doctor Inquired: “Do you know what a diagnostician Is?" “Yes,” she answered promptly, “it's Ia good guesser." His Philosophy “Man is never satisfied,” declared j old Roswell Rickudoo. “The best fishi lug is always farther down the creek. Every sore-eyed farmer wants to j move to town and run a restaurant. The Incompetent town man believes lie could make a fortune raising chickens. The lazy bachelor thinks he could manage the Belgian hare business. The girl who has a good home wants to become a movie actresa The man with' the respect of all the citizens wants to go to the legislature. As the feller said, man never Is but always to be blessed.”— Kansas City ! : Star.

LAKE PROGRAM ATTRACTION A SUMMER RESORT OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE Someone has lately said, and correctly so, that Everyone should take .a vacation each year." if this be exactly the cast, t! a ’the next question is "To vltih summering place shall we go?” Tl..- is not easily decided when the numerous places to which we would like to go, v come flitting through our minds. The matter of getting there does not bother us so much, for in ,he"present day modes of travel by train, interurhan and auto over excellent roads, make this question ot lesser . importance. ThC thing w.e must decide Is “the place.” Os the many spots tHat hid for our: presence, none is. more interesting! than Winona Lake, Indiana —with its! at : active programs, beautiful groundslovely lake, where a vacation can be spent with profit to mind as well as to bouy, ibis, season’s program has been selected with a view to pleasing tin masses: a program of variety, changing every day for six weeks, made up ol’ concerts, classical and entertaining; lectures on travel, birds, history and nature that are inspirational and by lecturers of international promin- j oncer plays that have been successes | wherever given comedy, drama and Shakesperian in style, with actors of experience in the various casts; entertainers who are noted for their ability to provide amusement and furnish unique programs; and motion pictures of more than ordinary interest‘The- above -array of ~ -schedule and artists makes a tremendous bid for our presence at this very popular resort. . In addition to the above, special attractions are booked. Among them Mme Gray Lhevinne, the world famous woman Violinist, whose appearance in any musical center would be hailed with delight, because of the rare-beauty of tone quality, the depth of tone, the sweetness of tone produced on the valuable “Cremona” now nearly two hundred years old. Mme Lhevinne’s son “Laddie,” seven years of age, appears on the same program as piano soloist. He is a prodigy, and has been appearing before the public since he was four years old. He is proclaimed as a most unusual musician for one of his tender age. Another high spot in Winona’s program will be the sacred Grand Opera j "Joseph" which is produced by the j well-known Director, William Dodd Cferiery, whose recent performances given at St. Louis. Mo., Topeka. Kansas, Conneaut Lake.- N. Y„ have had nation-wide publicity. Mr. Chenery easily stands first among those w’hd present snch attractions. The story j of “Joseph" is marvellously carried! out in the musical settings arranged 1 by Mr. Chenery, The stage makes a; beautiful picture to look upon, with j oriental sceiiery and elaborate costumes: of varied colors, and hues, . Jack Miner of Kingsville. Ontario, will speak on: the subject “Wild ) .Fowl.” August 2nd. This lecture willlie augmented by (notion pictures | showing wild geese and wild . ducks | by the thousands being cared tor each summer, the fowl returning year after year to this haven where they are protected, fed and admired. Before deciding on ’our vacation, we should carefully consider the advantages offered by Winona. The; Bible Conference; The School of Theology; The. Summer School of Sacred -Music; The De Pauw University Extension course in music; The! .- j Indiana University Extension course; 1 The Biological School; The Art School ; ’ The Photographers’ -School ; j The School of Christian Education) and other educational features, together with the opportunities of en joying all the outdoor,sports, bathing, i fishing, .boating, Roque., Golf and) Tennis.
