Hats That Afford protection.

The natives of the Philippines and
South Sea islands wear large sun hats
as protection from the heat. Palm
leaves of various kinds furnish the
material generally used. but the shapes
differ. Some are woven fiat and some
with peak. The commonest form in
the Philippines is made of palm leaves
covered with cane. a cane bandeau CIV

TURKISH WAR DEBT SMALL
Ottoman Empire Spent Comparatively
Little in the Recent CONFUSION
of the World.

The war debt Of the Ottoman en-
pire is said by experts to have in
creased less than that of any other
nation. Her bonded Indebtedness
was increased by only one new loan
of about $4,000, 900, and, adding to
this other increases in obligations,
such as home military requistions
and advances from Austria and Ger
many, her war expenses ran to only
$500, 100000. Consequently, allow
ing for various offsets, her postwar
Indebtedness amounts to about ST.
900, 100000.
This would make it appear that
Turkey "ran the war on a shoe
string" financially, as compared to
Great Britain with her $40, 0OO, O0O,-
900 war debt, or France with $780,
600, 100000, and the United States
with $4,000, 100000 and Italy with
possibly Sis, 100000, 900. 1t will be
recalled that on paper the Ottoman
empire modified nearly 100000
men, yet she escaped with something
like the war expense of country
like little Roumania or Bulgaria

KEPT THEIR BLOOD UNMIxEo
San eIss IndIsns Claim That No Alien
Strain Has Ever Been Mingled
With Theirs

The San Bias Indians occupy the
Atlantic coast and the adjacent
islands near the Colombian border,
and are among the best natural sail
ors in the world, many of them go
ing to sea on ships from the Panama
canal. Their coast and islands are
said to produce the best coconuts in
the world. These natural seamen
bring large loads of coconuts to
Cristobal, piled high in their dugout
sailboats, up the toughest bit Of
coast on the Caribbean, with the
waves LAYING over the edge, and
never lose q nut. esl M
Their blood is probably the purest
Of any Of the American Indians, as
no men in the world have guarded
their women with more jealousy and
efficiency than the San Bias, is
statement made by G. R. Calhoun,
in Everybody's. In country every
where touched with the blood of the
West Indian negroes, the San Bias
never show the slightest trace Of any
kind of mixture. Until a few years
ago, and it is still often true, no men
other than those of their own tribe
were permitted to be ashore on their
coasts or on their islands after sun
set.
Courtship in the San Bias is a
strenuous matter, especially for the
bride-to-be. To win her the sutton
must chase her and catch her in the
water.

MAKE WAR ON FARM PESTS
Government co-operates With Farm

Lands of NuIsances.

Under the direction of the bureau
of biological survey one man poi

field in northern Arizona, 1,641 of
the animals being counted in the
open, while it was estimated the bal

Illustrative of the scope of the
work, more than 100000 acres Of

practices, the destruction being con-

NOTHING WRONG ABOUT SONG
Comedians Need Not Have Worried as
70 Words Of Chinese Oitty They
Did Not Understand.

When Fred Stone, the comedian,
was in Washington he told how he
and his old partner, Dave Montgom-
cry, once learned and sang Chinese
song without knowing what it
meant. Eventually the show in
which they were singing came to
Washington and Montgomery and
Stone were Mortified one night to no
ticc that the most prominent box in
the theater was occupied by members
of the Chinese legation. Very nerv-
ously the two actors sang the song
and then hastily retired to their
dressing rooms. A few minutes later
announcement reached them that
the oriental visitors desired to pay
them a call. The two actors almost
passed away, fearing that they had
offended the Chinese with the song,
but finally they braced up and in
vited the Chinese to come in.
"Could you understand that song
that we sang~ Stone asked anx-
iously.
ooh, yes" the Chinese said.
"What on earth does it mean,"
Stone eagerly INQUIRED.
ooh nothing" casually respond
ed the oriental, ''just one, two, three,
four, one, two, three. four"
