Indians Best Walkers.

When 1t comes to feet civilized man has a thing or two to learn from the dog eating Igorrote or the pigeon toed American Indian, says Prof. L. J. Rich- ardson in a bulletin entitled 1.-The Sol dier on Foot" and issued by the Uni versity of California.
 Becoming patron of the long abused pigeon toed man Professor Rich ardson says that the normal gait of man is exemplitied by the American Indian, who walks with his feet set par allel or even with the toes turned slightly inward. In this way all the toes function and the lifting and pro- polling power of the foot is at it's maxi mum, he says.
 While deploring the army regula- tions requiring a soldier to stand with his toes turned out at an angle of about 45 degrees, because of the ten- dency to cause aversion of the foot and weakness of the posterior arch, Professor Richardson is sufficiently op- timistic for civilized man to conclude that in spite of the inherited and ac- quired bad habits he can reform and "learn to walk" with fair results.
 Walking in tight shoes generation after generation is the cause of nearly all the foot troubles of civilized man, the professor says. This condition, he says, has left but single strong toe on either foot, the others being in some measure atrOphied.
 Frequent washing, trimming the toe nails and an avoidance of change from high to low heeled shoes are suggested as means of obviating much foot trouble.

AirpIane Needs strona Wood.

A modern airplane propeller is one of the strongest and most perfect products of mans handicraft.
 Some airplape engines run at 1,70( revolutions minute and can be geared up to 2,000. An engine of this power would use a nine-foot-six-inch propel Ter and the speed of the blade ends would be in the neighborhood of 600 miles an hour.
 Revolving at this terrific rate, the slightest imperfection in the wooG from which the propellers are made would tend to disrupt them and cause them to fly to pieces.
 For this reason only the best anG hardest wood from the heart of the tree is used for propeller blades. II takes 2,000 feet of timber in the rough to furnish POO feet of wood good enough for propellers.
 Black walnut is the very best kind of wood for propeller blades, for, be. sides being immensely tough, it does not splinter when hit by a projectile Next in the order named, come mahog any, white oak, ash, maple, birch anG cherry.

When Exempt From Duty.

Section 59 of the army law now in force reads: "The vice president of the United States, the officers, judicial and executive, of the government of the United States and of the several states and territories; persons in the military or naval service of the United States; customs house clerks; persons employed by the United States in the transmission of the mail; artificers and workmen employed in the armories, arsenals and navy yards of the United States; pilots; marines ac- tually employed in the sea service of any citizen or merchant within the United States shall be exempt from militia duty without regard to age and all persons who, because of relig. ious belief, shall claim exemption from military service, if the conscientious holding of such belief by such person shall be established under such regu. lations as the president shall prescribe, shall be exempted from militia serv. ice in a combatant capacity; but no person so exempted shall be exempt from militia service in any capacity that the president shall declare to be nOncOmbatant."

No Alinony From Soldiers.

The supreme court of New York state has no power to enforce an or. der for alimony against a soldier in the United States army, declared Jus. tice Aspinall in the supreme court in Brooklyn in the case of Mrs. Florence Merfiman against Rapley P. Merriman, a private. It is the first decision of It's kind here. Justice Aspinall gave the opinion in acting upon the request of Mrs. Merriman's attorney, who de. manded Merriman be forced to pay $40 on the first business day of each month. "It is obvious that the defend. ant could not comply with a direction that he pay $40 on the first business day of each month," said the justice, "when $40 is more than the rate of pay of his grade. and the time of pay.
 ment of soldier is necessarily very irregular. York Evening Sun.

JEVN. W0RSHlPING IA HAITI
Here the Savage Instincts of the Blacks Have Been Fed and Eos
 tered for Centuries.

Aside from warlike considerations, people have become so accustomed to being safe that it is something of a shock to learn that only few hun dred miles from the centcrs of Amer ican culture there is an almost savage country. The islands of the West h. dies are, as a rule, the ab0dcs of en- lightcnment where any one, man or woman, may travel without fear of molestatiOn. But sr | is not the case in Haiti" says A. Hyatt Verrill in 'The Book of the West Indies" Here the shortcomings, the failures, the sav- age instincts of the blacks have been untamed jungles they were brought in reeling, pest-ridden slave ships to serve beneath the lash. Debased, un- taught, they rose, and in q resistless wave of black swept the dominating whites from the land. Then were loosened all the pent-up hatred, the undying lust for revenge, the sup pressed savagery of the African races, and slaughter, rapine, incendiarism, torture and debauchery stalked naked through the stricken land."
 Haiti has improved considerably since then, but there is yet much room for improvement. "The only wonder is that any vestige of civilization re- mains, that there is the semblance of rule, of industry, of order in the re- public" Among the barbarisms now prevalent in Haiti are voodooism and obeah, the former kind of devil worship, and the latter a form of witchcraft. "In its most fanatical form voodooism requires human sacri- fees, which are accompanied by caff- nibalistjc feasts and unspeakable or gies. Obeah, on the other hand, is merely witchcraft with no re- Hgious significance whatever, and in its most malignant form consists of poisoning with devilish ingenuity, and in its commonest and least virulent form amounts merely to a lot of non- sense, hocus-pocus and mummery."

JAP TENNIS PLAYER
 SHOWS GREAT FORM
 IN NATIONAL MEET

Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 27-Rank- ing players advanced with little op- position here today in the second and third rounds of the 37th annual Na- tional singles championships of the lawn tennis association.
 In marked contrast to the opening days play the majority of the matches were won in straight sets and with out semblance of an upset. Altho the tournament has yet to reach the 1 mid-week stage the leading racquet Wielders who are still able to play are moving forward in all quarters of the draw and the real elimination tests will soon be reached
 The greatest interest fthe gallery today centered around the initial ap- 1 pearance of Ich1ya Kumagae. the leading Japanese exponent of the court game, on the grand stand sec tiOn of the turns.
 kumagae's opponent was George w. Wightman of the Longwood cricket l club. Boston and while the Oriental player won in straight sets at 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, Wightman offered enough op- position to again demonstrate the fact that ,kumagae's game has greatly im- proved since his previous appearance
 in the 1916 tournament following which he was ranked fwifth among the leading tournament players. Wightman tried every artifice of tennis to hold the Japanese in check, but wit little avail. R. Lindley Mur- ray, the Californian. entered from the Niagara Falls club moved into third round without play owing to the ne- ceSSitated default of Tieut Fl q Ke- leher, of eSattle, who received a tele- gram recalling him to service. Murray devoted portion of the af- ternoon to practice against Fred Alexander. the former Internationalist and his play showed signs of improve

Canned Turtle.

The advantage Of New Orleans as a port was emphasized in the opening of a canning factory for the distribution of real green sea turtles. With the exs ception of a small factory at Key West. it will be the only establishment of it's kind in America. The factory has been situated at Miami, Fla, but the exces. sive freight rates and lack of steam. CT service to Central American, ports led to its removal to Bay St. Louis. It handles nothing but green sea turtles caught in Central American waters. and these are put up in four different formS-clear green turtle soup, thick green turtle soup, turtle beef in Creole style. and "callipe," which is the meat of the turtle taken from its breast, back and fiippers. The factory turns out about 15,OOO cans a day, or a total of 100000 pounds year, including all products. There is also g by-product called turtle oil, used incidentally Fishing Gazette.

FROM CABBAGES TO KINGS
Writer Impressed by Accumulation of Subject Matter of Every Descrip.
 ton in Print.

Perhaps the most valuable instru- ment for perpetuation is the printing press, writes Bruce Cummings in Sci. ence Progress. No sooner is an event over than it is reported in the daily press, and the newspaper preserved fin the British museum for all time.
 Within the sacred rotunda of the British museum reading room may be perused the novels of Charles Garvice, as we'll as the great Chinese encyclo- pedia of the Emperor Kiang-hi in 5,O2C volumes.
 In books our knowledge to date is rounded up and displayed; you may read a book on lump of coal, grass blade, a seaworm, on hair combs, car. pets, ships, sticks, sealing wax, cab bages, kings, cosmetics, Kant. A very thick volume indeed was published last year upon the thorax of a field cricket. It would require a learned man to catalogue the literature that deals with such comparatively trivial subjects as the history of the Punch. and-Judy show, or the history of play. ing cards.
 At the present rapid rate of accumu. lation the time must come when the British museum, thousands of years hence, will occupy an area as large as London, and the Encyclopedia Britan. nica be housed in building as big as the Crystal palace; an accumulation of learning to make Aristotle and Scaliger turn pale. -'

CLASSIC DRAMA IN JAPAN
Both Chorus and Music Accompany the Pantomime of the Actors
 on the Stage.

The actors-sonS of the sons of gen. erations of actors passing on as a legacy of great price to the right to act in these strange "No" plays of old Japan-entered and made their ex- it's by way of the bridge. At their approach, Gertrude Emerson writes in Asia, unseen hands lifted and held back curtain of persimmon and iris colored silk that hung at the door of the dressing room. Their costumes had wide skirtlike trousers and all the fires and conflagrations of an autumn wood or mountain forest burned ip the color of the brocades. Sometimes they had the streaming white hair of ghosts. They statnped with their white stockinged feet on the polished floor, which gave out muff1ed echo With their flowing sleeves they hid their faces, turning and swaying in rhythmic dances. With their fans they wrote the meaning of their dances in the air-the climbing of mountain path to forsaken shrine, a gift of water to a weary pilgrim, the picking of herbs, the flight of bird across the sky, the falling of flowers-or of tears. The chorus sang in suppress ed tones, holding their breath inter. minably, explaining, now the action, now the thoughts passing through the mind of the actor. The musicians beat on their drums and above all other sounds walled the flute, thin and trem. ulous, piercingly sad, like lost soul tormented of demons.
