Being thus assured, the yolng Sioux

that the starter should first drop his

two minutes, there should be a single

At last came the sharp tap on the

the whiz Of the tomahawks that had
been hurled at him. With whoop of
the warcry of his people he bounded

VuIaar AmerIeana Abroad.

Of American woman who Is beyond

of that kind the other day. They
came into the choir of Canterbury
Cathedral during morning service,
guide-book in hand. They took no
heed of the kneeling congregation or
Of the lltany, but stared about them
as though they were in a circus. When
a verger, with amazing politeness and
self-control. firmly conducted them
to seats, one saw a surprised air OF
protest and heard-the American &C.

Of any other nation could behave like

the fundamental truth that whatever

prisoners IN Japan contrasts with the
hopeless, hunted look Of our woman
prisoners In England. In Japan the
women prisoners are learning, learn

given prizes and decorative rewards

couraged instead Of repressed. Every
thing is done to instil a real desire

Modern sardInIa.

King victor's decision to pay Bar
dinia his first visit since his accession
is a reminder that this large Italian
island still belongs to the Middle
Ages. It Is hard to believe that Bar
dinia, known to the ancient Romans
as the granary Of the empire and Its
mineral treasure house, should 20 TO
Gently as 1923 have been entirely
without roads. The beautiful high
ways over which. in AuEustin days,
golden haryests had been wheeled to
the coast had been lost since the fall
Of the empire. Even feudalism re-
tanned its hold on the life Of the Sar-
des till 1856. Pestilence due to neg
lected soil and undrained swamps has
no doubt helped to retsrd the return
TO civilization OF the island which
gave the crown to King victor's house.

ought to enter the society Of ladies'

Western pearl dealers. who each

because OF the low water IN ths
Western rivers the pearl fishers meek
with poor success. The pearl bearing
mussels are buried deep in the mud
OF tho river bottom and are not being
found in any quantities In the shal-
low water along the shores. II is esd.
mated that the yield Of American
pearls will be only about 40 per cent
that Of previous years.
The river ,mussels yield both shells
and pearls, but recently the price Of
shells has dropped to about SO ton.
whereas as high as $40 had previous
ly been paid. This fact, together with
the difficulty experienced IN reaching
the mussels. has discouraged the fish
ermen and many Of them are idle.
OF the fine pearls found in the
Western rivers large percentage Is
brought to Maiden Lane for sale, but
the prices have ranged so much high
er this year than formerly that there
has not been a ready market for them.
