MANS ENORMOUS APPETITE.

An average man who has seen
seventy-fve years Of life has eaten
an amount Of food equal to some l.
500 times his own weight, says the
Popular Science Monthly. One hum
dred and ten tons of food he has con-
sumed, Of which the bread alone, il
it could be piled separately, would
occupy a space equal to that Of q
good-sized building. The vegetables
on reappearing would fill a train
three miles in length and the bacon
when placed end to end in single
slices would stretch along a line four
miles long. The temperance Of five
tons of fish and one-fifth of a ton Of
cheese would surely haunt him,
while $4,000 eggs, 10000 pounds Of
sugar and 1900 pounds Of salt would
put in their claim. And he has
smoked no less than 100000 cigar
cites. Let's hope he has saved the
coupons.

D. S. FLAG is AMONG OLDEST
Moot Of the Other National Emblems
Are Youngsters as Compared With
American Standard.

Tests made a decade ago indicated
that only one person in twenty could
give the correct list Of original Is
colonies. Fewer still know that the
American flag is one of the Oldest in
the world.
The evidence shows that Denmark,
Switzerland and the United States
figure in the court records as claim

red swallOw-tailed standard with Q
Whine Cross was adopted in 1919, but
jealous disputants have brought the
counter-claim that alterations have
been made since than. The Swiss
flag, O red field with q white Greek
cross, has been in existence unal-
tered, as the flag of . canton, since
the seventeenth century, but Switzsr.

confederation Of 1s4s. The Stare
and Stripes was adopted in 1777,
and although the banner il more Of
a growth than creation, it has no
tanned those distinguishing features
which Washington breathed into 1t
40 years ago.
Some Of the other national flags
are mere youngsters as compared
with the American standard, which
can show fawless birth certificate.
The standard of Spain was estab-
lished in 1855, that Of Great Brit

INDIANS REAL OLD TIMERS
Msny Of the Pacific Coast Trlbes Claim
Ancestry Dating Back
$4,000 Years.

Indian tribes Of the Pacific west
are the champion old timers OF the
continent and can point back to
racial existence in their present
homes and hunting grounds for a
space of $4,000 years.
This is the information just an
nounced in coast cities by Prof. Leo
J. FraOhtsnbsrg Of the Smithsonian
institute, according to the Spokane
Chronicle.
OF the 50 distinct racss inhahit-
ing the American continent before
the coming Of the white man, 30
made their homes In California,
Oregon and Washington. 1t was in
the coast states that the great manu-
featuring industries Of primitive
man were conferred. Excavations
made today disclose stone implements
and weapons by the thousands, indi-
eating that they were made in whole
sale lots and rstailsd over the conti-
nent.
The tribal arts and handiwork Of
the prescut-day Indian are Of deep
significance and origin. Professor
Frachtenburg declares. He does not
fear the passing of the Indian
numerically but he does fOreses the
racial oblivion Of the Indian unless
historical societies aud agencies
make systematic efforts to preserve
the tribal arts and trades.

miles it proceeds thus, q splendid
picturesque highway. Then abrupt

steep path that wends up the cliff.
When the motor cars reached the
end Of this road they were no longer
of use to the Serbs. Obviously there
was but one thing to be done, and
that was to destroy the machines so
that they would not fall into the
hands Of the enemy. So one by one,
their wheels spinning and their un-
bridled engines roaring as they
leaped through the air, the cars were
shot over the edge Of the rock bank
to dash themselves against the bowl
