broad rim. Polishing and cutting
machines remove all irregularities in
the helmet, after which it has holes
punched in the crown, some for ven

meant? In the eastern part OF South
America the term United States" is
regarded as an unqualified designation
Of the republic Of Brazil, while a little
way to the north the term is taken to
refer to Venezuela. In almost all parts
of the southern continent the mention
of country in the northern hem1s-

to suggest Mexico, whose official title
