Honors for War Birds.

In France many pigeons have been
decorated for distinguished war serv-
ices; one with the Legion d'Honneur.
Diplomas with the citations were is
sued and kept at the headquarters Of
the French pigeon service, and because
pigeons cannot wear medals on their
breasts, special bands, with the colors
OF the decoration, were made for their
legs. A bird which will go down in
French history Just as surely as Field
Marshall Foch himself is the one
which carried from Vaux to Verdun
the last message for help sent by the
Commandant Raynal before the Ger
mans captured the fort This pigeon
flew through hail of fire and gas
barrage, and, wounded and gassed,
dropped dead as it delivered it's mes
sage. 1t was awarded the Legion
d'Honneur.

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
Worlds Greatest Scour0e, the
Plague Of Leprosy.

The news from Hawaii indicates
that science has at last found the sure
and systematic way to the cure Of this
worlds most appalling disease. OF the
l42 former lepers who have been pa
rolled from the Kalibi hospital in the
last two years none has been sent
back.
1t Is peculiar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries. and probably much longer
should eventually be controlled by one
Of the oldest remedies ever used for
t. To modern science is due the dis
coyery of the bacillus of leprosy, but
its cure is accomplished with refined
ehaulmoogra oil, the essence of an In
dian plum, which has been used by
epers in the East for centuries.
Science has improved on native prac-
tice not only in the oil but in its appli-
cation.
To a world which has 100000 lep-
ers the success of the doctors at
Kalili is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set about the cure
Of her 100000 stricken. India has
100000 lepers, Japan 10000. And the
United States has had big leper prob
lem which the developments in Hawaii
should soon solve. While the cases of
leprosy in the continental United
States are few perhaps not 300 we
have thousands of lepers in our island
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service can go ahead there as
1t has proceeded in Hawaii.

BELIEF HAS NO FOUNDATION
Conjunction of the Rising of the Doc-
Star and the Sun Doesn't Bring
Extreme Heat.

DOG days" was the name given by
astronomers to the 20 days before and
20 days after the rising of the dog
star, or Sirius, with the sun. This
period is reckoned at present from the
Sd of July to the 18th of August.
For years it was the accepted opin-
ion that this conjunction of the rising
of the dog-star and the sun was one
of the causes for the extreme heat of
the summer. This conjunction, how.
ever, does not occur at the same time
in all ATTITUDES, nor is it constant in
the same region for a long period
hence there is much variation as to
the limits of the dog-star period.
1t Is mere coincidence that the
rising of Sirius and the sun occurs
during the hottest season of the year
just now. In time, astronomers say,
1t will take place in the midst of win
ter.
Sirius is called the dog-star because
1t is the brightest luminary in the con-
stellation "canis major" or Greater
Dog.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

HINDU IDEA OF "sEvEN SEAS
Writer in Bo;ton Herald Shows That
Expression Is Older Than the
English Language.

The question as to the origin and
meaning Of the term 1.-THE Seven Seas"
having been raised in this column,
am surprised, says a writer In the
Boston Herald, that as yet no one has
called attention to the fact that the
expression is far older than the Eng
lish language, antedating even the
science Of geography as we under
stand 1t. In prehistoric Hindu thought
our world consists as to its solid parts
Of seven concentric. continental Dvi-
pas, whose names are Jambu. Plaksha,
Salmali, Kusa, Krauncha, Saka and
Pushkara. According to the sacred
Vishnu Purana: "They are surrounded
severally by seven great seas-the sea
Of salt water Oavana), of sugar-cane
juice Qkshu), Of wine (Sura), of clari-
fed butter (SarpiO, or curds (Dadhi)
Of milk (Dugdha), and of fresh water
(Jala). Jambu-dvipa is the center Of
all these, and in the copies of this is
the golden mountain Meru." Jambu
Is the dvipa occupied by human be-
ings Meru the ndescribably glorious
north polar mountain by which the
portal to the heaven or heavens is at
tainable.
In oriental literature, therefore, the
expression "the seven seas" has, no ref
erence to the bodies of water named
seas by our geographers, but is an in
teresting survival Of the geocentric
world view which we of the western
nations have lost, but which all ortho-
dox Brahmins and Buddhists still hold
sacred and true. It's recent appear
ance in occidental literature is doubt
less more due to Kipling than to any
other writer.

DEMAND FOR PLAYING-cARDs
Manufacturers Report q Tremendous
Increase In Their Use, Mostiy In
Private Familiess

There has been a tremendous in.
crease In the use Of playing cards in
private families within the last ~
years in this country. the represents
tive Of big American card-manufac-
turing house says In the New York
Times. 1t may seem strange, but It is
the private family that does most of
the using Of cards. The proportion of
playing-cards used in the big clubs Is
small. There is an average Of from
two to three packs Of playing-cards
used per family each year In the
United States. 1t is estimated, which
is big percentage of the total.
Mems clubs absorb the higher-priced
cards, which are sold at prices vary
ing, according to the club, from 81 to
S1.50 or So per pack. The government
ak on cards since 1917, which was
raised last year to cents per pack,
With increased cost of production, has
practically driven the cheaper cards
out OF the market, and business has
zone to the higher grades, which re-
tail at from 30 to rs cents. The In
creased playing Of bridge has brought
nto vogue the narrower card, which is
more graceful In shape, smaller and a
little less bulky.
The bulk of the cards sold have a
'imple standard design for the back.
Among those the best liked in the
better class are the ones with the fine
steel -engraved or "banknote' back, en-
sraved with the lathework design.
These come in the four colors and now
have linen-finish face.

Social Service Call
, Last Tuesday the social service cir
Gle met at the home Of Mrs. William
Babbitt.
One interesting plan which each
present hopes to see carried out is
that of each member presenting the
names of five new members at the next
regular meeting on January /. Five
new members will be a record easy
to make for each one for the idea of
social service is spreading far and
every local woman will want to have
a share in it.
The circle is helping with the needs
of the committee working on COM
munity Christmas, big work Of act
ual service.
Last year the call for food, clothes
and toys was royalty responded to but
in many instances the call was needed
too late. This year the ladies ask
that Saturday December II be set
aside to bring articles of clothing, toys
and food to the basement Of the ma
sonic temple where a committee will
receive them from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m
This will greatly facilitate the hand
ling and grouping of all donations

Musical and Show
We venture to say every one who
attended the entertainment given by
the music section of the Woman's club
felt we'll repaid.
We can quote from many critics anG
they all speak most favorably of the
program. After selection by the or.
chestra the lovely notes of the anvil
chorus rang out and at its conclusion
the curtain rolled up on as lovely o
scene as Flagstaff has ever SEEN.
A real gypsy camp was fittingly
staged with hardly a detail missing
The colorful scene was made by the
many lovely costumes of the gypsy
band who had We'd with each Other
to make the scene effective. Miss
Dewey in true gypsy costume told Of
the gypsies of various lands ant
chimes, Of their rowing feet, of theil
music and their love for the oper
road.
In true dramatic style she intro
duced the various songs and dances
making a pleasing interlude between
each number. The first chorus giver
by the club was of gypsy life and was
particularly pleasing. Next came Mrs
Allen who is always a favorite, with
"Songs My Mother Taught Me-"
Following this two little dancers
cleverly arranged in true gypsy style
came forward and danced to the lovely
melody of ia Paloma."
The clever little artists were loudly
applauded and responded to more
modern dance which showed versa
tality.
Mrs. Peirson next sang the eve
beautiful solo from Bohemian Girl :
81 Dreamt l Dwelt in Marble Halls.
The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1921-12-09

Her voice was unusually good on this
occasion. The caravan at the side of
the stage had given the real artistic
touch to the setting and at this point
in the program, Jack Fuss sang,
where My Caravan Has Rested" His
accompaniment played by himself on
the accordian, was a splendid finish to
the very well rendered selection and
he was compelled to answer to several
encores. Mr.. Fuss has ever been
ready to help the music department on
every occasion SO they are glad indeed
that his kindly feeling toward the
members is so well appreciated.
Next came a violin solo by Mr..
Ridgeley Of the Normal school, and
the beautiful tones of the violin
sounded clear and sweet through the
hall.
Another appreciation is due Mr..
Ridgeley for his part in the program.
Following this very lovely dane
ing number was given by group of
beautifully arranged gypsies, Miss
Katherine Beckwith, Miss Lucretia
McMullen and the Misses Margaret
and Martha Stahl. Their graceful
dancing was the result of much pa
thence and direction of Mrs.
Drake of the Normal school and the
audience attested their pleasure by
loud applause.
The Gypsy Trail" was given as a
mixed quartette by Mrs. Allen, Mrs.
Clark, Mr.. Fuss and Mr.. Frank Han
ley and it, too was harmonious
thing calling for much applause.
The music department closed the
program with another gypsy selection,
"Carmena," and after the curtain
went down, the clever picture, Cup
the Road with Sally" was shown.
The department worked hard to
make the affair success; Mrs. Lewis,
the director gave unstintingly Of her
time, while the decorating committee
had hard problem on their hands,
making the stage look as lovely as it
did. Mrs. Stevenson, the chairman of
the department, Mrs. Stahl and Mrs.
Clark helped to make the thing &c
with a snap. Miss Reinhold trained
the little dancers while as is always
the case, a great deal Of outside assis-
lance was obtained, while Mrs. Fay
gave her time unremittingly as &C.
companist.

Mars hill to be guests of Mrs. v. M.
Slipher.
The splendid attendance attests the
vital interest this department is TAX
ing in this years program which
sounds so unusually attractive. The
program Saturday was in charge Of
Miss Mary Boyer and was on the Eng
lish and Irish drama. Miss Boyer
read q number of clever plays; Mrs.
Lampland, Mrs. Albers and Mrs.
Johnston gave reviews on well known
plays. The time was too short for the
many reports prepared by various
other members, but all felt that much
had been gained by the afternoons
work. The hostess was loath to let
her guests depart without extending
her hospitality which consisted Of

Tuesday at the morning chapel per-
iod some Of the English students Of
the training school and the Normal
high school classes under the super
vision of Miss Boyer gave a program
on "Good English" Good English
week as observed over the country was
supposed to have been three weeks
ago, but on account of some delays in
subject and speaking matter it did not
reach Arizona on time so it is to be
observed along with "Americaniza-
ton" week.
In the training school program each
boy student represented some slang
that is often used. The girls were the
good English and after singing sew
eral songs applying to the usage Of
slang and then of good English, the
good English placed the bad English
in jail. The Emerson students acted
this part.
The Normal high school program
gave an Interpretation Of the average
conduct and feeling of high school or
college boys toward exams and es-
pecially English. In the end by per-
severance though the good English
won.
This afternoon president McMullen
is to speak at the Federated church
on "The necessity of parent-teachers
associations"
Miss Hanshue, matron or Morton
hall, has started 'Thank You" club
in her dormitory. Miss Hanshue is
very polite herself and believes that
everyone else should be and is thus
aiding the others to acquire that
wonderful habit that is so good to
have, that we all like to see in others
but that the average American is too
busy to acquire in its fullness.
"Pageantry is the coming element
in education / believe" Miss Martha
| Dewey said in an interview. at is TAX
ing an important place in history and
the meaning Of American institu-
tions."
! Miss Dewey supervises pageantry
and dramatics in the Normal and is
very very much interested in this
work, though she specially stresses
the Importance, the action and the
education of pageantry.
"Pageantry and dramatics," Miss
Dewey says, care different. A drama
is continuous action on one theme
while pageant is interrupted action
on related themes. Pageantry is
broader and does not aim for dra-
matte perfection or, pageant is the
drama of community in which place
is the hero, and the history is the
plot, or is the drama of the the people
for the people and by the people"
| Miss Dewey's classes in dramatics
are to learn to make costumes, design
patterns of costumes and setting, re.
produce Indian legends and other typi-
cal reproductions.
Plans and preparations are being
made for a Christmas program at the
Normal before the students go home
for Christmas vacation. According tt
Miss Dewey, who is in charge of the
program, the main parts will be "Can.
die Service" by the training school and
the Normal students will give a play
Alteration of Magi," which is story
of nativity. The program will be held
in Ashurst auditorium, December 81
in the evening.
Just before Christmas the campus
and the dormitories of the Norma
will be almost deserted. Most all Of
the faculty and students will go t.
spend the Yuletide and holidays with
their people. Those who are planning
to stay on the campus live so fan
