QrIain of Moon In Doubt.

Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced. but all seeA, to present some difficulties. Our satellite furnishes us many tn, eolved problems. A belief in the meteoric origin of the moon is now quite general. According to t.1is be- lief the earth was surrounded in the .arlv stages of its existence by ring of .neteoric matter. The material forming the ring gradually gathered Into one mass, our present moon. whose pitted face gives evidence of the bonlbardment 1t received from me teoric masses within the ring. Accord. ing to this theory our satellite has al- ways been a dead world, cold and lifeless mass of meteoric rock.

Little Rock, June 29.-Ben D Brickhouse, State Director of the United States Public Service Reser- ve, has been requested to get as many college men as possible for induc- tion as privates in the Department of Military Aeronautics, up to July D..
 There is also call for men to July in the following classes: Auto mobile mechanics or chauffeurs bridge foremen, buglers, earth work foremen, brick masons, pump opera tors, railway section foremen, rail way section hands, track foremen tinsmiths, and water supply foremen. They are wanted for overseas duty at once.
 The aviation section of the Marine Corps wants electricians, photogra- phers, gas engine men, acetylene wei ders, and wire workers. It is said the chances for promotion in this ser vice are very good.
 The Engineers Corps of the Army is accepting at the present time a very limited number of engineers and the applications therefore are very num- erous. Construction and repair men of ciyh or mechanical engineering training are wanted in the Hull Di- vision, at $7.35 to $10.24 per day, the age limit being 55 years.

The Indian Sian Language.

A white man who visits a foreign nation finds il hard and sometimes impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of unl- versa] language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal lan- Euage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes
 men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every h. dian learns 1t in addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one knew a word of the oth- er's language. This universal lan' guagD is, of course, made up of signs.
