Fireworks on Independence day are
denied the children and grown folks of
Alaska for the simple cas- that the
July nights are almost as light as the
days and it does not pay to attempt
pyrotechnic displays If there Is no
darkness to show them off by contrast.
Consequently it has become the GUS
tom in many Alaskan cities, including
Fairbanks, to hold a Fourth of July"
celebration on March 4, when the
nights are still very long. Then there
is abundant opportunity for displaying
fireworks of every variety.

HLambamena.1

One of the Oldest native Madagascar
Industries is the curing and manufac-
turing of silk into what is called
%"lambamena ;" 'lamba" in Malagasy
means dress, shroud, Or clothing. and
"mena' means red. "Lambamena" is
made from a heavy gray native silk
principally in the BetsileO country, in
the southern part of. the central
plateau. This material was originally
used for wrapping the bodies of promi-
len natives for burial. The more
celebrated or wealthy the deceased or
his relatives were, the more LAMBDA
mena was used, but this custom is be-
ing gradually discontinued.

Some of the new shapes for spring
seem to be particularly well adapted to
hats made of Grape. The shapes, to

showing the most careful workman

mings, for all sorts of hats.

use this bright blue color for decora-

fully attractive. And any evening gown

Rail Enters the War

Much after the manner OF the
United States last April, and moved
by similar reasons and purposes, the
Republic of Brazil, by the advice
its President, Wenceslau Braz, and
practically the unanimous vote OF its
Congress, has now declared war
against Germany. Like the United
States, Brazil hesitated long although
subjectedto trying provocatiOn before
taking the extreme STEP In fact,
not until the conclusion that Ger
many had imposed 4 state of war up
on Brazil became unavoidable, did
President Braz notify Congress that
the only course left open was the
adoption of this declaration:
A state of war between Brazil and
Germany is hereby acknowledged and
proclaimed. The President Of the
Republi. is authorized to adopt the
measures enunciated IN his message
/ of the 18th of October, and to take
all steps tending to insure national
| defense and public security.
The message of October 25th, to
which reference is made here, and
which was accepted generally as paw
| ing the way for the declaration of
war, announced that Germany had al
ready virtually imposed a state of
war upon Brazil, and proposed the
| immediate seizure of a German war
ship interned at Bahia. The torpedo
| ing of the ship Macau the fourth
| Brazilian vessel so destroyed, and
an outrage aggravated by the arrest
of the captain, proved to be the last
straw. A peace loving President
could no longer bear with q nation
that seemed intent upon working IN
Jury to Brazil's peaceful commerce
and upon adding insult to that IN
| Jury. ''It Is impossible" said he.
addressing Congress last Thursday,
| Ito have any doubts regarding the
situation. or to escape now from the
state of war which Germany forces
upon US The prudence with which
we have acted, far from weakening
our attitude, confers on US the neces-
sary authority to accept the facts as
they are"
Thus one other nation, against Its
inclinations, but constrained by re
gard for its integrity and its honor, IS
/ literally driven into. war against Hon
enzollernism- Only q nation running
/ amuck would so persistenly court and
compel the hostility of countries dis
! posed TO avoid complications likely
to involve them IN the conflict Ger

that it is not good to have plants in
living and sleeping rooms is ridicul-
ously untrue If it were true, saws =

Though plants do not have organs
adapted to the forcible intake and
expulsion of air, they use air just as
truly as do animals. 1t enters
through tiny openings in leaf coat
ings and bark on root and stem and
penetrates to the inner parts of the
