IS Tomil Bay.

guish her as q mispil or queen of the
club remain to prove in her weazen-

Ing OF the district. If the mispil
shows a preference for any member
of the club, that member is told to
seek other fields for his social graces
and the party goes on with out any

one month is the average life Of a

Island of Yab Which May Be
Taken OUer By United States

. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-In con-
nection with he announcement by
President Wilson that the island of
zap may be acquired by the United
States as a PREPARATION for the sinking
of the Lusitania and as a wireless or
cable station, the following bulletin
is issued by the National Geograph-
&c Society:
'TYap, the westermost of the West
ern Caroline Island, Is situated about
500 miles southwest of Guam and 500
miles east of the Island of Mindanao
of the Philippine group. It has a
population of about seven thousand,
was the administrative center for the
Western Crolines. the PeTew and the
Ladrone Islands. The Germans had
made plans to locate a wireless sta
ton there but were prevented when
Australian troops captured the islands
In October, 1914.
zap is strangely old and strange
ly up to date. Its inhabitants are still
in the stone age of progress and cop
ra is almost the only export but there
are features in their life that seem as
ultra-modern as the latest socialist
doctrines.
ION the island OF zap, the natives
are strict prohibitionists, made so by
the race that made Pilsen and Mu-
Mich famous. Children belong to the
community. are frequently adopted or
exchanged, and throw off parental
control at an early g Bachelor
clubs, closed to the women, dot the
islands. What corresponds to the Yap
dress suit cannot be bought but is
rented to the young beau who desires
to shine in society. And since food
and drink and clothes all row on
trees, where anyone Ear secure them
fha money of the island represents
labor rather than any material thing.
But one can better understand the
meaning of the burden of wealth
when one hears that a single coin of
their stone money sometimes weighs
hundreds of pounds.

ITO the Knitters Of Delaware.
"A number Of people have come to

we feel that they cannot realize the
