Why Is a Curly Head?

This question is asked thousands Of
times, but never stays answered. Yet
the answer Is simple-if you know the
secret. The twist in an African me-
gro's hair. for instance, tends to keep
him cool during the heat of the sun.
Examine the furs of the different an
finals and it will be seen that those
with STRAIGHTFORWARD pelts live in the
northern sections Of the world, while
those with curly fur come from the
warmer climates. In the same way
those which have white hair come
from the region Of snow and Ice, while
those with black or brown hair inhabit
the more temperate climates. The
explanation is that the fur Of the
northern animals Is intended princi-
pally to keep its wearers warm, and
that of the animals which live In trop-
zeal climates is to protect them from
the direct rays of the sun-this result
being accomplished by the curls and
kinks of the black or brown fur.

LIKE THE PREFERRED STOCK
Why Experienced Investors Prefer
y That Form of Security to Old
b Form of Bond Issues.

A. B. Farquhar In his memoirs, in
System, tells how the idea of pre-
ferred stock originated a good many
years ago when corporate Organiza-
ton was less general than 1t is today ::
"The preferred stock was devised
by the lOnger-headed corporate organ
izers, who saw that in the case of an
industrial organization an issue Of
bonds constituted DANGER for the
interest had to be paid whether or not
any profitable business was done. A
company, was safer with the preferred
stock issue than with the bond issue,
which generally involves a mortgage.
But it was not until very recent
years that more astute investors real
Iy began to appreciate the fact that
the preferred stock of company
without bond issues is sometimes
better security than would be bond
OF the same company. 1t took long
time to get away from the real-estate
mortgage idea and to realize that an
investor could In any event get re-
turn only from what the corporation
earned, and that perfectly sound
corporation might, by reason of a
couple of bad years, be forced to bor-
row money TO avoid default in bond
interest, and thus invite failure that
would not occur II it had been per-
mitted to husband it's resources
through the passing Of stock divi-
dends. For a foreclosure sale of a
big property rarely fetches 100 per
cent cash. AS rule, however, the
first mortgage bonds Of good compa-
MES which have been I'm successful
operation for some time and earned
several times their interest charges
are rightly regarded as safer invest
ments than stocks"

Only s Per Cent of Worlds Savers
Are Americans; French Thriftiest

Notwithstanding the fact almost 30
per cent of the worlds savings are in
this country and that the average de-
positOr in the United States has a
greater sum to his credit than his
neighbor overseas, only per cent OF
the total number of the worlds savers
are Americans.
In proportion to population, a num-
her of foreign countries exceed this
nation in numbers Of depOstors, ac-
cording to statement given out by
the savings division Of the United
States Treasury department.
Through centuries Of struggle for
mere existence, many European peO-
pies have been trained to the most
rigid economy, while Americans have
found the fight for livelihood com
paratively easy matter. Until quite
recently, the average American family
operated on the plan Of paying ex-
penses first and saving what's left-if
there is anything left"

Why Face Is UpIifted.

Holding the head upward in rather
a strained position has nothing to do
with vision. The real reason is to be
found partly in the effort Of strained
attention natural in such circum-
stances, partly in the instructive at
tempt to make the greatest possible
use of the senses that are left, that
Of touch excited by contact Of the
air as IL meets the face, and that
Of smell. The shifting to catch some
faint odor is always accompanied by
an uplifted face. II begins with this
and soon unconsciously becomes \
habit.

Building the weather out is fully
as important as maintaining a Gre In

we scorched our faces and froze our

on their houses inside and out, but
in this country, where we had no stone
walls, we found that the plaster,
through expansion and contraction
would break and scale off.
'But the introduction Of triangular
galvanized steel reinforcement and the
improvement Of outside plasters, has
corrected this evil and a house now
could be tumbled end over end and its
plastered walls remain intact.

WHY
Law Officers Are Universally
Known as Policemen.

In We olden days the Jaw officer in
England whose duty it was to appre-
bend criminals, was known as 1.-THE
catch-pole" because of peculiar in
strument he used to catch criminals
by the neck.
The pole was about six feet long
and the collar was slightly flexible,
and in "catch-poles" used on serious
Offenders the collar was studded with
spikes on the inside.
While such instruments were being
used in England, the French had
adapted the name police" from a
long line Of language ancestors, be-
ginning with the Greek word for
estate"
From the Greek the word was
transferred to the German "polizel,"
and by the Italians as "poizia." The
French corrupted it into police, and
as such 1t was finally adopted by the
English and eventually found it's way
to America as the term for officials
entrusted with enforcing the laws of
the state.
AS late as 1920 the word was still
considered foreign by English writer's,
and 1t was not until many years after
that that it came into common usage.
Other countries still use different
names for law enforcement officers.
The military police Of Italy, for in
stance, are known as sbirri, and in
France they are called gendarmerie.
Americans, as usual, are not con-
tent with calling policemen simply po-
lice, and have invented a number of
nicknames, such as "copper"" which
came supposedly from the fact that
many police wore copper buttons on
their uniforms, and "dicks," slang
shortening for detective.--Chicago
