RICHES IN BURNED SEAWEED
Farmers Along the Coast Of Norway
Sell the Ashes for CONNER
claI Purposes.

During the spring months there
appears along the narrow coastal line
of Jaerderen, Norway, what seems to
be continuous lines of bonfires, but
is merely the burning of huge piles
Of seaweed by farmers who have RI
parian rights. Entire families assist
in the work, the hours being from
~ to IA per day.
The utilization of seaweed ashes
for use in the glass industry dates
back more than two centuries, but
in 174S a Scotchman came to the
Danish shores and carried back the
ashes to Scotland. where they have
since been manufactured into iodine.
AS the price paid for the ashes in
Denmark is about 1.34 cents a
pound, and as man with horse and
wagon can haul up and burn about
Is cents worth of ashes in each Of
so half-ton loads a day, his earnings
during the year amount to consider
able.

EXERCISE IN THE FRESH AIR
No Doctors Prescription So Valuable
as This Simple and Pleasant
Occupation.

When health is the great desidera-
tum one should not hesitate to make
almost any sacrifice to obtain it. This
was well illustrated by the man who
recently double-crossed the continent
in 1922 days. At the time of his leav-
ing on this journey afoot he was
threatened with consumption. He
realized that fresh air, exercise and
sunshine formed the perfect trinity
that spells health. He started on that
long tramp expecting health as the re.
suit. Did he get it? Sure. One gets
what he expects-not merely what he
hopes for; not merely what he de-
sires, but he must expect to get that
for which he hopes and desires; then
lay hold of the means, as did this
man, whereby the object may be OBJ
tanned and then retained. He is, as
the result of his effort, in the pink
of condition" He weighed 104 pounds
at the start, 40 pounds at the finish
and placed a good round thousand
to his credit. Best Of all, he walked
away from disease. Go, thou. and do

Sickness Caused by Wireless.

Wireless operators, particularly on

Blood tests show a diminished num-
Der of red corpuscles.
1t has been customary to charge

yet is poorly defined.
The same condition has been OBJ

TRAGEDY in Women,s Hats.

There is tragedy in every wom-
ans hat. 1t seems almost as cruel to
pay girls who make the dainty flowers
in France a pittance as to kill the
birds of brilliant plumage in Brazil.
Thirty cents day, 20 and Is, with
an occasional IS for rare skill in max
ing roses, deducting for loss Of time
and slack work, tells the story of
wretchedness and woe. Summed up
the average is not far from $50 year
on which to support existence. Amer
lean lovers Of French millinery will
be amazed at the wages paid young
women in France gifted with deft
fingers and rare taste, especially
when they take the prices charged
for Partisan hats into considera-
ton.

LIVE WITHOUT FRESH WATER
tiles con Absolutely Barren
Island.

Recent Investigations on the little
known and rarely visited Henderson
or Elizabeth island have led to the
discovery of complete and curious
little colony of geological total ab-
stainers. The island, which is unin-
habited, is situated about 100 miles
northeast of Pitcairn island-itself
sufficiently out of the way, but ia
nous as the home of the descendants
of the mutineers of the Bounty.
There is no water on it, not even a
swamp, and it is only six miles long !;
yet it harbors quite menagerle-
a kind of rat, lizard, described as
very abundant, and no fewer than
four kinds of birds, all peculiar to
the island. These are a fruit-pigeon,
a lorikeet, or honey-eating parrakeet,
little rail or crake, and a reed
warbler. The strange thing about
the inmates of this curious little nat
ural aviary of coral rock, surrounded
by waves instead of wires, is that two
of its inmates are birds, one espe-
cially associated with fresh water
the rail and the warbler. These, like
the rest, must do without drinking,
unless the dew can slake their thirst,
or they have acquired liberation for
sea-water as a beverage.

Now, pretty Miss Styles for mayor would

She was clever and witty, not flirty
But her party it split on one little thing.
And that was the split in her skirty.
A committee upon the fair lady did call,
And they gave her some pointers-to
wit:
While the voters admired her beauty and
brains
They never would stand for the split
But at the next meeting they greet her
with smiles
And cheer for their choice long and
hearty.
For she had been busy with needle and
thread
And closed up the split in the party.

And she laughs at the thought good and

GEN. CR0wDER'S VIEW OF LAW,
Eight-Hour Provision for. WomeH
Not Applicable to Government.

The new eight-hour law for woman
employees does not apply to the governs
ment service. according to an opinion
recently rendered by Gen. Crowders
Judge advocate general OF the army.
The act of February "a. 1914. providess
That no female shall be employed II,
any manufacturing. mechanical or mers
camille establishment. laundry, hotel OF
restaurant, or telegraph or telephone es.
tablishment or office or by an express %
transportation company in the District
of Columbia more than eight hours 10
any one day or more than six days or
more than forty-eight hours in any one
week."
In his opinion Gen. Crowder held that
the sovereign authority of a country is
not bound by the words Of a statute I'M
less named therein; that the United
States was. therefore. not included with
in the meaning Of the law and the tele-
graph Office located In the War Depart
ment was not a telegraph establishment
Intended to be covered by the act: and
that female employees on duty therein
did not come within the statute.

PROGRESS Of MAOR|S
FROM BARBAR|C STAGE
Savages Develop Into Peaceable
Citizens-Men and Women
Vote.

A little more than half a century ago
cannibalistic feasts were held by the
Maori tribe Of savages OF New Zealand
today members of the race are members
of the New Zealand parliament, and
Maori women. as well as the white won,-
en- Of New Zealand. exercise the right to
vote. They are in many respects the
most remarkable savages with whom the
white man has come in contact. accord
Ing to a statement given out by the
National Geographic Society today.
When the English first occupied the
islands, in the early part OF the nine
teenth century. it is estimated that there
were about 10000 Maoris in New Zea-
land" says the statement. They were
divided into tribes. each tribe having its
own unwritten laws regarding land. cul-
tivation and other social matters. The
tribes were constantly lighting.
Genius for War.
The English found that they had a
genius for war. showing unusual ability
in building. fortifying. and defending
stockades and they experienced consider
able difficulty in subduing them. The
savages TILED the soil with care; as
carvers and decorators they were un-
rivaled In the oceanic world. and they
displayed great originality in the design
and perfection in the execution of rock
paintings, and in carving the ornamental
figures of their dwellings, their boats and
sacred Enclosures.
The Maoiis were also noted for their
tattooing, which was designed to clothe
as well as ornament the body. Whoever
refused to undergo the protracted tor
lures Of tattooing required at every i'm
portant event of his life was regarded
as a person by his own consent fore
doomed to slavery. while for the young
women the operation was limited to the
lips, whence the tenn blue lips applied
to them by the English.
Only $4,000 Survive.
There are about $4,000 Maoris left.
These have retired to the northern prov
inces OF New Zealand. where certain
reservations have been set apart as
their exclusive property. The Maori
children attend schools regularly. Such
of them as continue into the higher
branches of learning are said to be
worthy rivals Of white students. Some Of
the Maoris have become landed pro-
prietors: they are proud Of their right to
vote, and especially Of the fact that their
women were given this privilege at the
same time that it was given to the white
women OF New Zealand"
