AS to Buying
Furs ~ 0W

From the Northern fur regions
expert trappers are sending their
Winters catch of choicest skins to
the Gliding Fur Salons.
To make the most of the advan-
tages now prevailing in the raw
skin market, we are suggesting
custom made wraps, coats and
capes for future wear at prices
which are far below those which
will prevail during the coming
Autumn.
Although the fur season is no longer
limited to the Winter months, still

We are pleased to comply with
the request of MAURINE BRIT.
TAIN for a short history of Heard
and Seen as a topic for q school
composition, and return our thanks
for the last sentence Of the let
ter: "The column grows better
every day"
II has long been a great pleasure
to the editor to realize that thous-
ands of scholars In public and pri-
vate schools, colleges, etc, are
ardent followers Of the G.. o. -,
enjoying its light and wholesome
fun. its amusing features, and its
human spirit.
There was a time when Q few
prejudiced teachers were disposed
to discourage II among their pu-
pills, but they have repented Of
their mistake, and today enjoy
the column as much as the young
people. y
Hundreds OF contributors to the
column probably do not appreciate
the opportunities for good they
have. To inspire high ideals In
the young: to aid in inculcatinx in
them the principles OF a square
deal, of kindliness, good humor,
courtesy. and true grit, are op-
portunities that do not come to III
as often as we might desire. When
they do come we should use them
properly.

Jungle Jazz Rivals
Famous Gyrations
of South Seas

Jungle dances of primitive
tribes in Brazil have a super
fetal resemblance, it would
seem, to those of the South
Seas, and the more cynical
might even compare them to
some modern ballroom steps.
But one thing is distinctive, for
the foot movement is so rapid
that the feet all but become
invisible.
The dancing, the jaguar
hunts, the unique game of head
ball, and the rafting or rubber
were among the subjects COW
reed by Mrs. Harriet Chalmers
Adams, a Washington explorer,
who addressed the National
Geographic Society last evening
at the New Masonic Temple
Indians in Brazil are increas-
ing in numbers, instead of
dying out, their native customs
and arts are being preserved,
and they are gradually being
turned to industrial activities
through persuasion and not
force, according to Mrs. Adams,
who gave the credit for this re-
markable achievement largely
to one man, General Rondon.
