THE FLAMINGO, A BIRD OF
BEAUTY AND MYSTERY.
is SAVED FROM
EXTINCTION

Assurance that the famingo, bird Of
beauty and mystery, will escape ex-
tinction is contained in a letter from
H. E. W. Grant, colonial governor of
the Bahamas, which says:
"You will be glad to hear that an
order in council has been passed CIV
ing complete protection to the famin-
go. This glory of our marshes owes
the expedition a debt of gratitude"
The action of the Bahamas council
was taken following an expedition,
which trailed the 1amingo, the most
beautiful of the worlds larger birds.
to it's last stand, took motion pictures
of the timorous creatures; and brought
about a realization Of how near they
were to becoming extinct in the new
world through annihilation by native
sponge fishermen. These fishermen
hunted them down for food purposes
at the nesting and molting season.
The first American naturalist to To-
rate and study the gorgeous famingo
was DR.. Frank NJ. Chapman in 1901.
when he estimated that some 10000
f1amingoes were to be found on one
of the little known islands of the
Bahamas group. Since then it is be-
lieved that fully two-thirds Of the
colonies have perished.

FOR COUGHS AND COLDS
Use a Remedy That Can Be
Depended Upon.

No one can afford to neglect a
cough or cold. Neglect often causes
serious results. The best time to doc
tor is when the first indications of
cough or cold appear. Coughing weak
ems the delicate membrane of the
throat, bronchial tubes and lungs. This
makes a fertile field for the develop
ment Of germs. For GO cents you can
get three ounces of Glando Pine. Mix
this with enough syrup or honey to
make a pint and you have safe and
reliable remedy to use. 1t takes hold
of cough in hurry. The first dose
opens the air cells and makes you
breathe deep and easy. It strengthens
the membranes and destroys the cold,
grip or tonsilitis germs before they be-
gin to develop. Glando Pine is easily
prepared. Directions accompany each
bottle. 1t tastes well and can be given
to young children.
Don't be careless, but begin today
to safeguard yourself against coughs
and colds. A dependable remedy at
hand means great deal to any FAM
lily. Remember the name Glando Pine
You can get 1t of your druggist, or it

special interest for students of racial
history. Sardinians are small of
stature. Even their soldiers have an
average height a fraction under five
feet, four inches.
But the most conspicuous curiosities
of Sardinia are it's nuraghi, great
round towers, relics of the bronze age.
which served as fortified dwellings for
some prehistoric people. There are
5000 or more of these towers, some go
feet high, usually about 80 feet in di-
ameter at the base, made of stone
blocks and smeared with clay on the
inside. Stairways lead to upper cham
bers and platforms.
Interesting as are these relics of un-
known Inhabitants. even more fasci-
mating are the traces of ancient civili-
cations to be found in the daily life
of Sardinians of today. One may find
oxen plowing as they did in the days
of the Roman empire, implements
which were introduced by the success
sive occupants, one Catalan town
(Alghero) where there is no jarring
note in the illusion Of old Spain, and
dances Of the classic Greek period at
the mountain feste.
Only in Sardinia and Corsica is the
mufoni, predecessor of our sheep, to
be found. Wild deer and wild boar
are plentiful in the mountain districts.
Tunny fishing is major industry.
In area Sardinia is comparable to
Vermont, but has more than twice the
population of that state. The island
lies directly south Of Corsica, and is
separated therefrom by the narrow
straits of Bonifacio. In shape it has
been compared to a human footprint

Sardinia has a double interest just

Americans have found tracts contain

Second only to Sicily among Medi-

to turn its back on Italy, for its east
coast is mountainous. This Isolation

THE MARSHALL ISLANDS

The Marshall islands, along with the
Carolines, were seized by Japan soon
after the outburst of the war, and theil
permanent disposition has been under
discussion. Their proximity to the
Philippines has been referred to in
this connection.
The two chains of curiously-shaped
atolls, or coral islands consisting of
low-lying coral reefs encircling Ia
goons, known as the Marshall group
lie a little south OF the center of an
imaginary line between the Philippines
and Hawaii.
Guam, Samoa and Honolulu form a
triangle of trade routes, with its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Near the center of this isolated
Pacific zone are the Marshall islands
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer, voyage of more than
5000 miles. The only other egress is
a steamer to Ponape which connects
with the French line to Singapore.

But the chiefs power was absolute, to

bilious ruler learned an alphabet and
Is said to have beheaded all his sub
jects who seemed likely to acquire
more knowledge than he had. In some
islands the mother was allowed to
keep only the first three children. She
had to bury the fourth.
Skillful and fearless navigators, the
natives used bread-tree wood to make
sailing canoes in which they would
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made OF STICKS, showing the 10
cations Of islands and the directions
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi-
nant religious sentiment. With pc
titions and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth in certain palm trees
which they set off in stone Enclosures.
Birds and fishes sometimes embodied
these spirits, they believed, and thus
certain species became taboo.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentious. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats, and
thatched roofs covered the combination
house and storage room.
The two island groups are known
as the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area is not more than 160 square
miles, their native population $4,000,
with fewer than 300 foreigners. The
seat of German government was on
Jaluit and the most populous island
is Majeru, with but 1000 persons.

agara, as follows:
early in the morning of the third
day, we were suddenly awakened by
the guard and treated to a scene of
beauty never to be forgotten. Some
ten miles distant five enormous col
umns of vapor were shooting their
roseate-tinted shafts hundreds of feet
heavenward, While the faint roar of
the falls told Us the Mosioa-Tunga-
the smoke that sounds-was no longer
a mystery.
Each moment increased the beauty
and vividness of the scene. With the
first rays of the rising sun came
picture of color of wondrous loveliness.
Delicate tints of violet, crimson, and
befyl played through the mounting
spray as it shot higher and higher,
ultimately disappearing as virgin
clouds in heaven, while the ever-in-
creas1ng thunders of the waters lent
an added solemnity to the view.
Hardly could we wait to reach our
destination, so great was our enthusi-
asm. But our hopes were doomed to
momentary disappointment, only to be
| more than realized after a study of
| the environment; for, Notwithstanding
| their magnitude, the first view of Vic
toria Falls is decidedly disappointing
Although nearly a mile in width
and 400 feet in height, the grandeur
of their proportions is eclipsed by the
| sudden disappearance of the river, as
| it plunges into narrow, rocky fissure
extending across its entire width. Only
at a single central point is there a
breach in this fissure through which
the falls can be seen and appreciated
in their full proportions, where the
converging waters rush madly to the
| zigzag canyon below. So restricted is
this view that there is an entire alb

paralyzing effect which strikes the Wis
itor dumb with wonder and amazement
when Niagara bursts on his near
vision.

The unfortunate lady met her mortal end as the result of burns sustained by the upsetting of an alcohol lamp while curling her hair preparatory to at- tending an evening social function at the home of friends. The accident occurred on the evening of December 4, almost on the event of the couples first wedding anniversary, their mar riage having occurred December 16, 1918. 5~. s Owing to the long-distance tele- phone lines being out of order, the first news of the tragedey did not reach Nome until several days later, when Ed Pfaffle, husband of the de- ceased, arrived from Council with the body, accompanied by two native mushers who assised him in taking the remains there. ~ ::
