The shuttle race is new and funny.
Its requisites are, for the girls, short
skirts held we'll above the ankles.
and slippers many times too large,
worn over ordinary shoes. Unless
the foot can be lifted out without
touching the shoe with the hands
the shoe or slipper is too small. For
the men provide the largest sized
slippers obtainable, having uppers
only at the toes.
The course should be about 200
feet over smoothly shaver lawn.
The contestants must stand in line
at the starting point and at the
word ego" must start off on the
race, shutting along as fast as pos
sible. The men have no advantage
0. er the girls in the game, for it is
no easier for one to cover the dis
lance quickly shuffling along in the
large shoes than for the other, and
both look equally ridiculous in their
absurdly frantic efforts to keep the
shoes on their feet. = Woman's

In Nubia there is strange plant
called isofar. When the wind blows
it sends forth musical sounds close

The natives, who are ignorant, SUI

with dread. There is no reason for
this, for the plant gives forth its
unusual sounds because of certain
thorns at its base. These are pierced
with tiny holes by insects which
search for the gum in the plant.
