LONG HEAD is BUSINESS ONE
Shape More Important, This Writer
Says, Than Size-Some Noted
Examples.

London-A writer in an Indian pa
per states that heads have changed
remarkably during the last quarter OF
q century, owing to the advancement
of education, which is materially az
fecting business men and women by
developing the mental powers. The
person who will hold the reins of
command in the future will be the
long headed individual, who is fast
surprising his wide headed brother.
The shape of the head is Of greater
Importance than its size, and the best
literary type of head varies from % to
1914 inches. but up to IAN inches
may be found men Of powerful in
tellects. Heads that succeed in bust
ness and in manufacture and mech
anism are usually large, wide about
the ears and forward, with q broad,
though not always a high forehead.
Heads that succeed in educational,
literary, scientific, analytical and ar
tistic pursuits are generally long, pro-
portionately narrow and high, with a
good development forward OF the
ears. Sir Thomas Upton, H. Gordon
Selfridge and Sir Joseph Lyons are
among the men who possess heads
which may be accounted somewhat
ideal types of the class OF business
men who will lead in the future.

TURN TO THE MODERN STEPS
Advised In Forssking Tribal
Dance for Turkey Trot.

The once noble red man has suf-

his hunting grounds for reservations,
he has traded the warpath for the
trail around the bases. In place OF
the forest primeval he now inhabits
the circus tent He has bartered a
continent for firewater and trousers.
AS II this were not enough, the
tragic news comes from Nevada that
he has sounded still another depth OF
ignominy. Abandoning his tribal
dances, he has taken up the turkey
trot
Before this revelation all the old
illusions as to the dignity and self
respect of the American Indian fell
with a crash. Not even the most per-
fervid admirer Of Hiawatha's people
can picture them In the mazes Of the
trot without a shudder. A turkey
trotting Indian deserves no greater
respect than a turkey-trotting pale
face clerk.
Why the red man should seek to
change the ghost dance for the trot.
the snake dance for the bunny hug
or the fire dance for the grizzly bear
is mystery. While the Indians an
cient gyrations may be a trifle more
dignifled than the latest menagerie
movements, they are only slightly less
barbaric than the dances which now
hold the floor in polite circles. The
difference in savage energy Is hardly
worth the substitution.
With Terpsichore gone mad. we
may look for an early retaliation By
the dansant paleface for the raid
which the Indian has made upon his
dances. The snake dance and the
warwhoop will be taken, in turn. and

Uncle Sam Can Gauge Horsepower Of Human Body

In the laboratory is a respiration

Uncle Sans scientists put subjects to
measure the energy which the subject
gives off while he Is engaged In diff

The calorimeter Is a valuable In
strument in many ways. 1t enables
the government to recommend certain
diets as being of the greatest use to

cheap, but at the same time sustain

The apparatus itself is six and a

New York.-Nantucket, the little is

land to those on ships sailing from
the principal American ports and that
is the first signal welcome to incom-
ing European vessels, is making an
effort to obtain 100000 with which

picturesque dot in the wave-tossed wa

Nantucket now figures chiefly as a
community engaged for brief season
each year in catching summer board
ers, but 1t knows no closed season
for the rescue Of persons on ships
wrecked in the troubled waters out
side its haven. There have been ter
rible wrecks recorded as happening
in the vicinity and daring work by
life savers since the first hardy pio-
neers settled on the island two and a
half centuries ago.
Isle de Nantochyte you will find the
spelling on an outline map OF early
days. The island is almost crescent
shaped, about Is miles long and about
two and half miles wide, and has
a coast line of so miles. 1t belongs

is on the north shore of the island
almost midway east and west, but
it was not always there. The orig
inal site was on the west end Of the
island at a point now known as Mad

moved to the present site, which then
was called Wescoe. The next year

lace, it was named Sherburne, and II
was not until 1895 that the present
name was adopted by the village.

and there were not many trees.
From 100 to the War Of the Rev.
olution Nantucket was famous as
whaling port. For time it held first
rank and in 1926 shore whaling
reached it's highest mark of Sc whales
having been taken that year. Some
years later whaling fleets were sent
out to distant points of Newfound-
land, the West Indies, Cape Verde is
lands, and even to Brazil, and the
business was one of large gain de-
spite the danger from French and
Spanish privateers. In 1775 the Nam
tucket fleet numbered $50, and the
population then was nearly 5000, and
all save a meager ten per cent. OF
them were Quakers. BY 1885 the fleet
had been shattered, 1874 ships having
been destroyed or captured during the
