NEED ETHNOLOGISTS
Professor Thinks Them Essential Part
 of Any Government

Cardiff, Wales. Septemrer 3-A sug- gestion that governments should enjoy anthropologists in an advisory capacity was made by Prof. Karl Pearson or London University at the annual conrer. ence of the British Association which is just being held here.
 The governments of Europe, the pro- lessor added, had all kinds of experts in their service, but no ethnologcal ad- visers.
 One has only to study the peace of Versailles to see that it is ethnologically unsound and cannot be permanent, he said. India. Egypt. Ireland, even our present relations with America and Italy, show only too plainly how difficult we find it to appreciate the psychology oi other nations.
 'If the spirit of violence be innate in man. the lecturer concluded. eff there be times when he not only sees red but rejoices in it-and that was the strong impression I formed when I crossed Ger many on August l, 1914, then outbreaks of violence will not cease till ytroglodyte mentality is bred out of man. That is why the question of troglodyte or hylo- batic ancestry is such a vital problem to the state.'

REVOLVING WINDSHIELD
British Invention Clears Away Snow,
 Rain and Other Impediments

London. September 1o.-(Reciprocal News Service. )-One of the most in- genious things ever invented is the "clear-view screen which British firm produced for the benefit of navigators. Rain, spray or snow renders it difficul. or impossible to see through an ordi- nary portbole or other glass screen.
 The invention consists simply of glass disc which forms part of the screen and is rotated at so high a speed that any water or snow falling upon it is imme- diately spun off. The glass remains so clear that its rotation is extremely diff ficult to detect.
 This device has now been introduced on aeroplanes in order to assist the pilot when rain or snow is encountered. The disc is driven either by small windmill fixed on one of the struts. or by vanes fixed to the edge of the disc itself When the aeroplane is travelling at seventy-five miles per hour the disc spins at 1.200 revolutions per minute. Al anything over 5000 revolutions the glass will keep clear in all weathers.

or with a very narrow pin stripe. The
coat Of the suit will have notched
lapels, will be semi-form fitting and

Three-button coats will predominant,
although the two-button garment will
be very good. Four patch pockets,
two up and two down, will be awarded
first place for pocket arrangement.
The one up and two down will also
be accepted, however.
Coats VIII Be Long.
The long coat Of last spring, borrow
ed from our English cousins, will be
even longer this fall. It will be made
