The fourteen peace principles laid down lr President Wilson, and oyer which all peace discussions must now evolve. was made on January s. Bet ter paste these in your hat. along tho side of your desk or up on the kitchen u.u somewhere, Tor they are the allies peace basis.
 First Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at. after which there shall he no private international un- drrstaudings of any kind. but diplo- u-cy shah proceed always frankly and in puhlic view.
 Sc~uuI Absolute freedom o1 nlvi- e,tion upon the seas, outside terri tor,al waters, alike in peace Aaad in Var except as the seas may bd osed in whole or in part by interna6i 6ional action for the enforcements of inter national cove pants. aw Thi1d The removal. so far as pos siblc. of all ecoomic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations con acnting to the peace and associatng themselves for it's maintenance.
 Fourth Adequate guaraatics given and taken that national armament will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. Fifth A free, opcn-minded and ab- aolutcly impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon strict observance of the principle that in de. terminng all such questions of sov crcignty the interests of the popula- tions concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined
 Sixth-The evacuation of all Rus sian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest co- world in obtaining for her an unham- pcred and uncmbarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and ma , ti0nal policy and assure her of sin Ccrc welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing, and. more than welcome. assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire.

SKELETONS OF STONE AGE
Bones of Early People of Japan Show
They Were Six to Seven Feet
in HEIGHT.

Fifteen human skeletons were I'M
near Osaka. This is considered the
birthplace of japanese civilization. OF
the relics of the japanese stone age,
discovered by Professor Okushi, nine
of the skeletons were in perfect preser-
walton, all bones being intact, East and
West News says. 1t rarely happens.
according to scientific records, that SO
many perfect skeletons are discovered
in one place.
Among indications that people Of
that period lived on uncooked food, is
the fact that upper and lower teeth
are evenly worn down. Decayed teeth
are not found The bony structure of
the skeletons are massive; shin bones,
in most cases, are somewhat fiat. Some
Of these skeletons stand seven feet
high; even shorter ones are over six
feetl Skeletons were found in a lying
position, with knees. drawn up. With
out doubt, these people belonged to
the stone age in Japan-30000 years
ago, at least.
While making the excavation, stone
implements, earthenware and two cop
per arrowheads were found. Two white
jade earrings were discovered which
may be of Chinese origin, and of a
much later period. 1t is thought this
find may establish link between the
stone and bronze ages in prehistoric
Japan. Archeologists hold that it
surely indicates the early people of
Japan had intercourse with other parts
of Asia. The earthenware patterns
are not necessarily Ainu; the bones
cannot possibly be those of Anus.
This discovery reyoIutionizes archeo-
logical theories of prehistoric Japan.

NO MILK FROM CHINESE cow
Bossy of the FIowery Kingdom Yields
Only to Offspring-Used Only for
Draft Purposes.

Americans who travel through the
interior of China greatly miss Cows
Milk and Her Butter" as Japanese
sign puts it. The people of the Orient
use little of either. Mares milk is sold
to invaHds at a high price, because the
Chinese believe that it is a source of
great bodily strength, says the Youths
Companion.
But the natives use cows solely for
draft purposes and, having earned her
living for years in this manner, bossy
stands upon her dignity when Aneri-
cans demand milk of her. To her off
spring she will give it, but not to man
if by any possibility she can avoid it.
In Japan there are now a few Am
erican-bred cattle, owned by foreign
ers, that make the native cows look
/ like goats. One of these cows was i'm
ported into Korea by missionary, but
he had difficulty in getting his coolie
to tend the beast The servant was
fresh from his country home, where he
had heard little and seen less. He
took the COW for an elephant and fled
before her.
In Korea the little native COW is a
petted darling that has been INDUCED
to such an extent that, incredible as it
seems, she refuses to eat grass unless
it has been boiled.
1t is not unusual in very cold wealth
er to see a pet COW clothed in thick,
warm blanket, while the children of
the family SILVER in their cotton gar
ments-and often very few of them.

stance. In shopping.
How would you like to shop In
Guatemala They are q very polite
people. and on coming Into the store,
WI pass some remark about the
weather and ask how business Ia. Then
comes q string Of questions about the
health Of the proprietor and all his re-
iations and friends; and when all The
questions are asked, the proprietor
turus around and asks the same Ques-
lions Of you. Then the proprietor
ests down to business. and takes down
al his stock. which Is all examined and
priced. and then you say you will go
home and think about It.
The next day. you return with the
whole family-men, women, children
and visitors-all the salutations are re-
beated. and all the stock displayed
again. After two or three hours of
this sort Of thing. you buy perhaps a
yard Of muslin, and have 1t charged on
30 or 90 days time. This so delights
the proprietor. that he follows you to
the door, and asks all the questions Of
your health all over again. 1t is need
less to say that Guatemalan merchants
were never known to get rich.

II may be estimated that the thumb
represents fully third Of the total
value of the hand. The total loss Of
the thumb Is estimated by competent
authorities as Is to 50 per cent for the
right and 10 to Is per cent for the left
hand. except for workers In art, when
20 to 90 for the right and 25 to 40
psF cent for the left hand comes near

The middle finger is less Important

WIRELESS FOR ALL TO HEAR
Instrument No Larger Than Fountain
Pen Enables One to Pick Up
Messages Nearby.

The fountain pen" wireless receiv-
er is an established fact, for through
the use of the audion bulb DR.. Lee De
Forest has perfected a little instru-
ment, no larger than some of the ex-
tra-size fountain pens in use by men
with heavy hands, through which it is
possible for man to pick up wireless
messages at distances up to eight or
ten miles, says the Illustrated World.
The instrument depends entirely
upon the audion bulb for its efficiency.
The audion bulb, as most of those
interested in wireless knows, made
feasible the recent long-distance mes
sages Sent out from Washington, and
its use for communication by wire also
made feasible the now common trans
continental telephoning between New
York and San Francisco.
The entire principle Of the audion
bulb is to amplify sound waves, and
by making bulb small enough to be
placed in the end of the fountain pen
tube Doctor De Forest has literally
made it possible for any imam in the
street" to pick up whatever wireless
communication may be going on in his
neighborhood.

WORTH OF MlDDLE-AGED MEN
Older Workers, Because Of Skill,
steadiness and Reliability, Out
class Younger Fellows.

In several Western cities ''young-old"
men have formed an organization that
may become nationwide in its scope,
for the purpose of securing employ
ment for men who have passed their
prime.
This is decidedly the day of young
men, and the man who has passed
middle life without having laid up a
competency or mastered some special
line of work is at q dreadful disadvan-
tage.
But it has always been so. And age
now as always, says the Christian Her
aid, is not so much a matter of years
as of declining enthusiasm.
We have seen men on whose strong
shoulders rests the burden of seven
eight and sometimes nine decades, full
Of unwasted power of spirit and
strength when it comes to freshness
and JOY in the work done and the
vision fulfilled.
The great work of the world is be-
ing done and always has been done by
men Of middle life and more. Four.
fifths of the business failures are made
by young men. 1t is ripened experience
and Judgment that count in the bust
ness world, as in any other.
In physical work the older man may
be outclassed by the younger one; but
in lines Of work calling Cor skill, stead
mess and reliability the older man has
the advantage.
There is something seriously wrong
with an economic system that finds 6
man useless at fifty.

Kiss Under the MlstIetoe.

The mistletoe was held in great
reverence by the Druids. 1t was be-!
lieved to be particularly and divine
ly healing; in fact, it was given this
attribute for centuries. 1t had special
significance as the cause of the death
Of Balder, the Morse. Apollo, who was,
killed by an arrow made from it's
branches.
Subsequently Balder was restored to
life, the mistletoe tree was placed un-'
der the care of Frlgga, and from that
time until it touched the earth was
never again to be an instrument of!
evil.
The present custom of kissing UNI
der the mistletoe is the outcome of an
old practice of the Druids. Persons Of
opposite sexes passed under the sus-
pended vine and gave each other the
kiss of love and peace, in full assur-
ance that, though it had caused Bal.
der's death, it had lost all its power.
of doing harm since his restoration.
