HEAD BINDING IN SOUTH SEAS
Natives of Tomman Island Cling to a
Curious Custom, Which Seems
to SAVIOR of Cruelty.

The old men of Tomman Gan island
of the New Hebrides, South Pacltic)
told me that heads nowadays are not
what they were in olden, times, writes
Martin Johnson in Asia Magazine.
They said what l found hard Ia be-
lieve-Uhat the craniums of their an
cestors We're twice as long as those
of preSent-day islanders.
TOmmanites are not born with long
heads, but the head of each baby is
bound in order TO make the shape of
his Uranium conform to local ideas of
beauty. When he is q few days old,
his mother puts on his head Il bonnet
woven from human hair, which she
SOakS with oil, until she thinks the
little skull is sOftened. over this
bonnet goes loose woven basket of
cOcOnut fiber. The fond mother pulls
the strands of the basket tight, and
each day a bit tighter, until the skull
can be compressed no further.
When the little TOmmanite is about
II year old, he energies from his
wrappings with Il beautifully elOn-
gated, pointed skull. the pride of his
mother.

DOGS GUARD SIClLIAN HOMES
italian Bulldogs" as They Have Been
Nicknamed, ObViate Need for
Locks on Doors.

In Sicily the inhabitants have trained
dogs 10 protect their homes against
brigands and other IawleSs characters.
These Sicilians on leaving their homes
seldom bother 10 lock doors or win
dOws. They have trained their dogs
SO we'll that the animals can take care
OF the most cunning Of criminals.
When = thief enters one OF these
homes the dog does not attack him. He
receives him i'll silence, even wagging
his tail sometimes in apparent friend
illness.
But no matter where the thief may
go. the dog follows, never losing sight
Of him for moment. He follows the
thief from room TO room. The thief
may load himself up with all the loot
he likes. but the dog views his thiev-
ing with Indifference.
1t is not until the thief attempts to
leave the place that the dog displays
any real interest in him. He then be
comes remarkably active. He jumps
in front of the culprit, barring his way
and defylng him to attempt TO leave.
II the thief makes a break for the
door or window the dog is upon him.
AS a rule the animal springs for the
throat. but wherever he sinks his teeth
nothing short of death can make him
release his hold.
II the intruder attempts TO draw a
weapon the dog is upon him like flash
of lightning. These dogs have been
nicknamed Italian bulldogs, but they
are Of 4 mOngreI breed with just
trace of the genuine bulldog in their
blood. They more closely resemble

BAN PLACED ON ExPLETlVE
Some Spanish Priests Forbid Use of
Word "Caramba"-Good Story
in That Connection.

There is a church in La Guaira, Ven
ezuela, which is said to have been
erected with the proceeds Of fines I'm
posed upon the people Of the parish
who profaned their conversation with
the word "caramba"-the common oath
among all classes Of peOple-or with
stronger expressions. The church is
therefore called La Iglesia de la
Sanctissima Caramba."
The word caramba is meaningless,
but it is constantly in the mouths of
all people, without regard to sex or
condition, and is not usually considered
reprehensible. But now and then a
pious priest will be found who prOhib-
its its use among the sheep and lambs
Of his flock.
A story is told Of three piOus friars
who were travelling a hot and dusty
road one day, driving a donkey which
bore their luggage. The beast became
obstinate, and finally lay down in the
dirt, much to the damage Of their prop
erty. One of them, more impulsive
than the rest, forgot himself so far as
TO utter the first syllable of the for
hidden eNpletiVe, and said Car -
The second exclaimed Ram - and the
third "Bu ;" which completed the IN
holy word. and thus expressed their
sentiments Jointly without imperiling
their Souls.-Philadelph Ledger.

doors in Apartments.

There are times In the city dwelling.
especially in an apartment, when just
before the arrival of guests the hostess
is conscious OF deadly odOr stealing
DER the scene.
Instead of relying on the incense
burner which must be carried from
room to room in such an emergency
and which often sends out only fleet
ing fragrance, it is a good plan to keep
on hand a little oil of cinnamon. Fill
a shallow vessel with water and place
it on the stove. When it bOils put in
a teaspOOnful of the cinnamon oil. A
spicy odor will soon fill the rooms. The
water should simmer slowly, but not
boil violently, after the oil is added.
1t is said that oil Of lavender and
other fragrant oils will give the same
result 1t is rather amusing to keep
ones method of pertaining the home
a secret, us this will add to the indi-
viduality Of ones setting.

When a BusheI Isn't

'-Thirty-two quarts make one bush

positively. But the housewife who
has purchased family supplies for
years is not at all sure that this Is
not one Of the many rules that have
exceptions. Specialists Of the bureau
OF markets, United States Department
Of Agriculture, say that the heaped
buShel varies with the price OF the
product and the weight bushel varies
widely in different states. A bushel
OF sweet potatoes is 40 pounds in the
Dakotas and co pounds in Maryland.
A bushel of tomatoes IS 40 pounds in

A bushel OF unshelled green peas is

REALLY AN OLD, OLD STORY
The Younger Generation, 1t Would
Appear, Has Always Been "GoIng
to the Bow Vows"

Are the children of today going to
the bOw-wows, or is it just an appear
ance? Are the children of this world
today worse in their generation than
the children of yesterday? Let US
take a census.
A volume Of sermons printed in 1850
contains u vail from DR.. Lyman
Beecher about 1.-THE terrible lack of
parental discipline in these later days"
DR.. Jonathan Edwards made the
same gloomy remark a hundred years
before, saying that children behaved
rudely and lacked the chastisement he
had received.
Going back two centuries we find the
famous Hugh Latimer. chaplain to Ed
ward VI, declaring that during his 80
years Of observation the manners Of
boys. their development at church and
their conduct toward parents had IN
dergOne a wOeful declensiOn.
John Knox remarked on the discour-
aging signs of the times as to parents
lack Of authority over their sOrs.
Going back to the Old Testament,
it seems that the same dOleful views
prevailed among the Hebrews, for one
Of the prophets gives them this needed
warning:
''Say not thou. what IS the cause
that the former days were better than
these? Thou dost not inquire wisely
concerning this"
So that, taking 1t all around, we are
quite undlsurbed about the present
generation. 1t is probable that we
were just the same little fools that
they are-Only a mere bit hitler. We
have forgotten.

BUILDING FEDERAL HIGHWAYS
Mileage Nearly Sufficient to Encircls
the Globe When Construction

ment of Agricultural
OF the 22,03O miles Of federal-aid
roads which have been built or are
now under construction, more than
two-Ihlrds are earth roads, sand-clay,
o. gravel, says the chief of bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. These have cost
less than one-third of the total amount
expended as compared with nearly 80
per cent OF the estimated cost applied
TO 1880 miles of hard-Surfaced roads.
A study OF local conditions by an
engineer Of the bureau is necessary
before road project may receive
federal aid
The type Of road TO be used and the
most suitable surface with respect to
the traffic OF the locality must be de-
termined. Service must be satisfac-
tory, while costs must be kept low,
both for building and maintenance.
There must be a careful analysis both
OF the engineering and economic con-
ditiOns for each particular project.
There are individual considerations III
every case which affect the determi-
nation as to the best type of road ma
terials for that locality.
The mileage of federal-aid roads
which have been built or are now IN
der construction is nearly sufficient to
encircle the globe. This is the record
OF work accomplished since July, 1916,
when the Federal government first
stepped in to aid in the enormous task
of building highways that are now
called upon to carry more than 9.OOO,-
600 motor vehicles plus a very sub
stantial hOrse-drawn traffic in the for
ty-eight states.
The federal-aid law is we'll named
The Department of Agriculture has Civ
en- the broadcast possible construction

ing the greatest mileage Of highways
suited TO the traffic to be carried over
them at the minimum expense. An
analysis by the bureau of public
roads Of the projects under contract
shows that all types of roads, from
the graded earth road up to the finest
paved surfaces, have been built.
On March l of this year, 90, 03O
miles of highway, extending into every
state, had been completed or were in

reau, Mt a total estimated cost of 1851,

HeaIth Affeeted by Emotlons.

Any emotion that gives pleasure
acts healthily on the heart and other
organs, the circulation becomes more
brisk, and appetite and health i'm
prove. Love, hope and happiness all
produce these emotions and, contrary
to the accepted notion, the ardent
lover ought to enjoy his meals thor
oughly.
Despair, grief and fear have quite
another effect. They make the action
OF the heart slower, and enfeeble the
nervous and muscular system. often
upsetting the digestion as well.
Anger causes the heart to act VIC
lently, working upon both physical and
mental powers. The muscles for the
time being are taut and tense, and
the secretion OF bile is increased. A
reaction follows rapidly, when the
muscles become labby and a feeling
Of weakness pervades the body.
