RHODESIA "LAND OF OPHIR7"
for and Against Arguments to
That Effect.

The extensive ruins of ancient forts,
temples and gold workings in Rho

able controversy from time to time,
some archeOlOgists contending that
they are only four hundred or five
hundred years old and others hOluing
that they date back to at least two
thousand years before the Christian
era, and that Rhodesia was the land
Of Ophir, mentioned in the Bible at
chapters TX and of / Kings.

If Rhodesia was not actually Ophir,

the gold Of Ophir was obtained and
which was so much in evidence at

Emaciated Bride Considered Beautiful

Jayanese marriage customs include
a period of religious instruction for
both the bride and the groom. The
young man starts his instruction by
paying daily visits to the priest of
the village, and learning all the com
plicated phrases which he will have
to utter on the day Of his wedding
The pupil is placed in a tank of cold
water and stays there submerged IN
to his chin while the priest bends over
him and reads the Koran, the perform
ance taking place in front Of the
church.
The girl begins her preparations
for the great day by several weeks of
semi-starvation during which time she
takes only sufficient rice and hot wa
ter to sustain life. Because Of this
hunger strike enforced by custom, she
loses considerable weight, an emaci-
ated bride being considered a thing
of beauty on the island Of Java.-De-

HAD BRIEF DAY or FAME
DasutIful Paisley Shawl Achieved I'm
mense Popularity, but Only for
Short Time.

The story Of the Paisley shawl-a
specimen, | hear has just been pre-
scnted to Lady m-Carter-forms
one of tie shortest and most romantic
chapters in the modern history OF IN
dustry, says a writer in The West
minister Gazette Tile manufacture OF
these beautiful things was begun,
reached great height Of prosperity
and became extinct in the space o1
little over eighty years. No fhlsiey
shawl has been woven since 1880, ana
none Is likely ever To leave the looms
again The shawl had its origin in
the ambition of the Paisley weavers
to produce on the loom the amazingly
elaborate patterns, woven by the
needle, OF the Cashmere ShaWlS that
had been sent home from the East by
Scottish officers and traders to their
women folk.
The Paisley weavers were notable
craftsmen, and they produced shawl
which excelled its prototype in beauty
Of design and richness of color. Their
success was the reward of patience,
skill, taste and a delicacy Of touch
which, experts say, has probably never
been eQualed before or since
Nm the weaving craft. A common price
for one Of these shawls in the days
when they were not a rarity was 500,
and they were worn by women of all
classes In Scotland except the very
poor. Then fashion decreed that the
Paisley shawl should no longer be the
mode, and Its fate was sealSl. Queen
Victoria gave the dying industry a
new, but brief, lease Of life when she
bought seventeen Of the famous
shawls and wore one at the baptism
OF the prince who was to become King
Edward.

TAX FIGURES MISLEAD
British Chancellor Underesti-
mates Levies in United
States, Says Bank,

Figures cited recently in Parliament
by the British Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer which purported to show
that the annual per capita taxation in
Great Britain is nearly three times as
great as in the United States do not
tell the whole story, says the August
issue of Commerce Monthly, the maya
zine of the National Bank of Com
merce in New York. The Chancellor
declared the British income, profits
and Inheritance, taxes amounted to
$7373 per person and the correspond
ing federal taxes in the United States
totalled $2G.67.
The bank points out that these
figures do not give a complete picture
of direct taxation In the two countries
because many items entering into the
British National budget are rot repre-
sented by any corresponding items in
the United States federal budget but
rather by items appearing-in state and
local expenditures supported by local
taxation.
Taking into consideration state and
local taxes as well as those levied by
the federal government, the bark con-
cludes that direct taxation in the
United States must have Appropriated
$50 per capita as compared with Stab
