Washington, April 12-Monetary hab- its of groups of people in various in- dustries and employments are the sub ject of study by the National War Savings organization with a view of determining the best places and the best times to sell Savings Stamps.

 The heads of these Indians were not flat naturally, but were made so arti- ficially, by the parents, in infancy. One writer tells us that a board was fastened to the head in such way as to force the skull to develop a flatened surface from the top of the eye brows in a stgaight line to the top of the back of the head. Another authority suggests that the child was so placed in infancy when lying down that the head was the lowest part of the body and that this position of the body caused the head to be damned down, so to speak, under a

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
DAY


For all the grac ious gifts in harvest fair
In things material, whose soodly share
richly prize;
For mans abundant wealth that lies in sight,
And for the sense of power and of might
With which to meet foe, and fight the fight
My thanks arise.
But for the richer gifts Of Lowe and Peace
That bring the soul a sense OF sweet release
From pressing care:
For merces shown; for greater growth Of soul;
For light when clouds of deadly dark uproil
To point the way to some more lofty goai,
And lead US there;
For broader human sympathy for tears
OF brotherhood to ease anotheTs fears,
And cheer his way;
For seeing eyes, and shoulders fit to bear
The burdens of our fellows in despair,
And right good win to help them in their care
When times gray;
For men OF heart and soul inclined
To honors of a 1owlier. meeker kind.
With grace endured.
Who seek all dire injustfces to mend,
To guide the hopeless to some hopeful end
Not this alone, but all my days spend
In gratitude!

THE HUMAN RESPONSE nv THANKS.

The best possible method of giving thanks
for the blessings of life is to live joyously and
genuinely. When the flowers of spring break
forth in their simple beauty because Of the
Isun IS rays they make the response of gratitude.
When human beings expand in the richness and
geniality of warm hearts and sincere desires
they, too, are showing the supremest gratitude.
The sparkling air of frosty fall day makes one
feel good, but feeling good" is nothing
Helse than grateful recognition of the atmos-
lpheric stimulus felt in the blood.
1t may be that formal phrases of gratitude
are not spoken readily as in earlier days. 1t
may even be that there is less informal phras-
ing Of grateful emotions, due to the world war
and the many personal tribulations which have
followed in It's wake; formerly life was less
complex and disturbed Quantitive comparl-
sons of emotions are hard to make and sure to
be inaccurate. They never take account of the
individual.
Mere laughing does not signify happiness,
nor does the eager pursuit of concentrated
amusements mean true jOyUusness. But the
Judgment of the capacity of humanity for
ithankfulness must be based on wider evidence
than the wretchedness wrought by crime, pow
Ierty and war or the cynical pessimism of those
who have been cheated in Hfe's game, the
unhappy restlessness of the wanderers who are
IN search of peace which seems always to be
resting on the distant horizon.

THF DAY AND THE BIRD.

days jeweIed with diamonds and pearls
When the sleigh bells are merrfy ringing.
And days when blossoms white on the boIghs
And the robins the thrushes are singing
And days when the glamour OF sunshine ana dew
roses life worth living
Three hundred and sixty-fve days in the year,
the best day of all IS Thanksgiving
There are birds for the epic1re's constant delight;
The wild duck, delicious OF flavor;
The goose with stufng good as herself,
Conveying of onion and SAVIOR;
The recdsbird, the quail and the ortoian rare,
The pigeon proud and so perky
Till goes in juncy delectable pie,
But not one compare with the turkey.
So is toast to the day and the bird;

When the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Lord on a rock
And the turkey there in his glory.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A LEG.

This is a question the answer to which II
properly given and used points out the way to
action and safety. Here is the plane of in
dustries resting ON three great supports and
these three supporters kicking vigorously at
one another, the patient public getting ma
Eiority of the blows. To stop the fracas a lot OF
people seem to be theorizing over the POSSIBLE
Fity of doing away with some Of the legs and let
ting the whole support rest on what IS left In

Coincident with Mr.. Rockefellers latest en-

inouncement that DIR. Alexis Carrel is to make
his home permanently in this country. DR..
Carrel is one of the greatest living medical
scientists. With the facilities provided under
tie Rockefeller funds he will work to the utmost
advantage. There is distinct evidence that New
York City is becoming center for scientific
research to an extent unreached before the war.
The German university has lost it's prestige;
France is in measure crippled in it's resources
for scientific investigation. 1t may be that re-
search work, than which none is more valuable
as an asset to the future, is gravitating to this
land.
It grows tiresome to read the many and var
fiGus admonitions from abroad on the duty of
the United States There is vast variety of
needs in Europe and it seems that most Of those
who feel these acutely have an obsesson as to
the duty of this country which closely connects
itself with getting what they want Even a
plain statement of what they want would be-
rather refreshing after so much argument to
camouf1age this under pretense of pointing
out to this nation wherein its duty and some
particular advantage to another coincide.
