A Valentine Party.

Here is the description of a pretty
to 6 o'clock in the afternoon Of Valen.
tines day:
'The invitations were written on the
backs of heart shaped valentines IN
closed in the regulation lace paper en-
velopes so dear to childish hearts
When the guests had arrived there was
search for hidden candy hearts,
which were found in all sorts of places,
each child having a heart shaped bag
Of silk in which to put the spoils.
When time was called each child count
ed the number of hearts, the boy hav-
ing the most being crowned king and
the little girl with the most to her
credit being the queen. These two
then choose the games to be played.
At o'clock the grand march was
formed to go into the dining room.
"The centerpiece was large heart
shaped box, from which a ribbon led
to each place, where it was fastened
to valentine of lace paper, gold Gu
pids and blue forgetmenots. The sup
per was simple, but dainty and whole
some. Last came pink hearts OF ice
cream, small cakes iced in pink, with
wee sugar Cupid on top. When the
feast was over the ribbons were pulled,
and out came on each a heart shaped
box filled with little heart shaped pep
permintS."

LineoIn's Lowiy Beginning.

Lincoln was once a "hired man"
He was not afraid 30 turn his hand
at anything. We do not read of his
ever looking fastidiously around when
there was anything to be done and
saying: "That's not my work. Let Bill
do it"
Can we, boys. afford 10 be daintier
than heroS
Now, see here, boys; this isn't
preaching. 1t is Just common sense.
The heroes we all admire are the all
around, good hearted, willing, brave
fellows who do the ordinary things so
well that they get into the habit of
doing things well, and when the time
comes to do anything great they just
DO 1t from force OF habit. Start in and
watch your chances.

Buck the Indian,

Here is a good game for healthy
boys called buck the Indian"
Two captains are chosen, and each
captain then chooses until two long
lines are formed They face each
other, holding hands tightly. One
captain calls the name of one of his
strongest boys, and this boy runs and
hurls himself between two boys of
the opposing eide. If he succeeds in
breaking through he takes back with
him all the boys on the line below the
place he broke through. If he is un-
successful he must Join the enemy's
side This is kept up until all the
boys are on one side.
The strongest boys should be sta
toned near the top Of the hne, and
stratagem is shown in trying to catch
the strong boys Off their guard by pre-
tending to tackle the boys at the bot
tom.

ELECTRIC MOSQUITO TRAP.
Atlantic County, N. j., May Test Eff
cheney of Musical Vibrations.

cheney of Musical Vibrations.
The Atlantic county mosquito com.
mission of New Jersey, which has re.
ceived a $4,000 appropriation to rid
the county of mosquitoes, may try to
lure the pests to death by musical vi
brations generated by electricity.
According to information which the
commission has received, DR.. l.. O.
Howard of the federal department OF
agriculture, has discovered that the
hum of the mosquito, commonly at
tributed to the vibration of its wings
is really caused by air expelled during
the process of respiration. DIR. How
ard learned that this hum could be
initiated by electrical vibrations, to
ward which mosquitoes precipitated
themselves as If drawn by a powerful
magnet. By placing large strips OF
sticky fypaper back of the vibrating
wires he perfected a deadly extermi
nator.
DR.. Howard is noted in the depart
ment of agriculture as an entomolo
gist and has invented several solutions
OF mosquito problems. The commits
sion addressed an inquiry to him with
the idea Of adopting his plan If Il
proves practical.

The postman came and--yes,

A lovely valentine!

And so | know it's mine
aust look-what lovely roses!
And see that teenty dove
Up high among the branchesl
And read this: ITO my love-"
And If you lift this shutter
The dearest little face
Peeps out and smiles up at you.
And see what pretty lacel
Who do you suppose did send it?
The postman doesn't know,
And everybody in the house
Looks at it and says, No"
If you won't tell I'll whisper
found 1t on u shelf
And put it in an envelope
And sent it to myself!
Because, you see, wanted
A valentine so bad,
For, though I'm nearly six years old,
Not one I've ever had.
And now the postman knows me
Don't you feel sure that he
Will bring next year true one
And not from only me?

MAY HAVE FOUND
ORIGIN OF indian
Scientist Discovers Similar
People In Asia.
SIGNS OF ANCIENT RACE.

Dr.. AIes HrdIcka of the Smithsonian
Institution Finds Traces In Southern
Siberia and Mongolia of a People
Who Antedated the MoneoIs and
Chinese--Greatly Resemble indians.
Recent investigations by many scien-
fists indicate that the original Indian
population of the United States was
the overflow of the aboriginal popula-
ton of southeastern Asia and Mongo-
sonian institution, who lately returned
from that region and is now in Wash
ington, says he found striking evi-
dences that the theory is correct. He
bases his belief not only on the prehis-
toric remains found in this little ex-
plored region, but on the striking re-
semblance of the existing race of ma
tives to the American Indians.
DR.. Hrdlicka explored southern ST.
IBERIA, both east and west of Lake Bal
kal. He extended his search into outer
Mongolia. The capital, Urga. and two
large monasteries of the region are
constantly visited by natives from all
the surrounding country. On one oc-
casion he had a chance to see a gath
ering Of 1000 natives in one place.
The museums of Siberia proved un-
eXpectedly rich in chronological and
archaeological material bearing on his
search.
Ancient Burial Mounds.
There are thousands of "kourgans,"
or burial mounds, that date back
through the development of the native
race to the period when they We're in
the stone age and no metal implements
were known.
All the measurements, both facial
and physical, of the natives tend to
confirm the theory that they are the
originals of the American Indian stock
and some of the photographs of the
living natives are so Strikingly like the
present day Indians that it would be
impossible to tell them apart. In this
connection he says:
among all these people there are
visible many and unmistakable traces
of admixture or persistence of what
appears to have been the older popula-
ton of these regions, pre-Mongoian
and especially pre-Chinese, and those
best representing these vestiges resem-
BILE to the point of identity the Ameri
can Indian.
Features Similar.
"These men, women and children are
brown in color, have black straight
hair, dark brown eyes and facial as
well as bodily features which remind
one most forcibly of the native Ameri-
cans. Many of them, especially the
women and children, If introduced
among the Indians and dressed to cor
respond, could by no means at the dis
posal of the anthropologist be distin-
guished apart. The similarities extend
to the mental makeup of the people
and even to numerous habits and GUS
toms which new contacts and religions
have not as yet been able to efface."
AS a result of what he saw Dr..
Hrdlicka expresses the belief that
there exist today over large parts of
eastern Siberia and in Mongolia. Tibet
and other regions in that part of the
world numerous remains of an ancient
population Telated in origin perhaps
with the latest paleolithic European)
which was physically identical with
and in all probability gave Rise to the
American Indian

bile readily adapts itself to the re-

well known, but ii may not be gen

ate their own machines.
Two of the largest companies with
headquarters In New fork-the Kline;
Film company--now use Mitchell cars.
Three others-the Majestic, Carlton
and vitagraph companies-also use
cars well adapted to the rough work
so often seen In moving pictures, such
as fast running over pasture lots ana
