PSYCHE KNOT FOR WARRIORS
Seems Rather lncongruous on the
Heads Of Fierce Headhunters
-, Of Island Of Luzon.

Picture man whose long hair is
done up in a psyche knot, with ban
deau Of beads around his head; then
add to this the heavy features, full
beard, and mustache Of swarthy bar
barian, and one has some idea Of the
appearance Of q warrior type of the
northern part Of the island Of Luzon.
These men pertain to the fierce
tribes of head-hunters, and their elab-
crate dressing Of the hair, which in
civilized countries is considered q
purely feminine vanity, seems gro
tesquely incongruous with their savage
pursuits. Not being obliged to waste
any time on their wardrobes, since
clothing is practically unknown, all
their efforts toward adornment are de-
voted to the head and are much more
elaborate than those of-the women.
The dandy of the Kalinga tribe bangs
his hair heavily over the forehead,
training it SO that it has almost the
effect Of low pompadour. Above this
Is built a structure Of feathers and
flowers, the latter branching out and
dropping quite artistically over each
side.
At the back his hair is arranged to
hang long and flowing or is put up in
a chignon. His ears have enormous
holes, in which are plugs Of wood fanci-
fully carved. Sometimes many strings
Of beads are about the neck and the
face and chest are tattooed, but the
main efforts ut adornment are directed
to the hair.
A little cap woven Of bamboo, about
the size of the "pill box" of Tommy
Atkins, is often worn on the back Of
the head to cover the coil Of the hair.
Boudoir caps trimmed with pink rib
bons have not yet penetrated to the
interior Of Luzon; but If they ever do
It Is safe to say that they Immediately
will be appropriated by the warriors
to the entire exclusion Of the feminine
contingent

Real Optlmlst.

Wickham Steed, the London editor,
condemned the dullness Of London
newspaper in an interview during his
American visit.
"That Sheet" he said, reminds me
Of stoke-sur-Sea, where friend of
mine once spent his midsummer holi-
day.
"'Well, smythe, old man. I said to
my friend on his return, did you have
a pleasant holiday at Stoke -sur-Sea?"
"'Oh, very pleasant, thanks said

Acoustic Facts.

Architects find no more difficult
problem than that presented by the
acoustics Of lecture and concert halls.
The subject has been investigated by
one Of the physicists at Harvard, who
offers some interesting conclusions.
The acoustic properties of hall de-
pend upon two variables the form
and the materials. The essential fea-
lures of the materials are their ab-
sorbing and reflective powers. The
art museum lecture hall was modelled
after Sanders theatre, Cambridge, but
failed to reproduce it's excellent
acoustic properties. The reverbera-
tion Of sound lasted b.82 seconds an
lntolerable length. But, putting San

MAKE HOBBY OF GRIEVANCE
Probably Many Of Us Know Persons
Who Closely Resemble Thls
Sensitive Cousin Lucy.

Cousin Lucy seldom goes any place
that she doesn't get her feelings hurt.
In fact, she spends the greater portion
OF her time nursing a grievance Of
some sort or other. At the last fam.
lily dinner, which has been custom
of the family for several generations,
she had the following to say over the
telephone to someone who has man.
aged to keep from offending her for
several weeks.
"Well, you can say am too sensi-
tive If you want to-" she said in q
voice that carried oil the feeling OF
an early Christian martyr, "but I
guess you would be, too, If someone
made a remark to you like Aunt
Sophia did to me about the President
when she knew my husband worked
for his election as hard as anybody
around here. It was just another way
Of insinuating that Johns judgment
was poor, and I'm sure it's as good
as Uncle Samuers. OF course Aunt
Sophia says she never meant a thing
by it and that know she always has
been Democrat, but then, If she
didn't mean anything, why say it to
me of all persons when she might
have known would resent it?
John never pays any attention to
things like that and says I'm foolish
to do it, but tell him I don't like to
have my day spoiled by having some
one picking at me, and I'm not one of
these tWo-faced people who will get
mad about something and never say
word about it. I don't mind being
sighted, as frequently am, and often
suggest staying away from the family
dinners since I seem not to be badly
wanted, but mother always went and
so I'll continue going unless I am told
to stay away. But I notice a lot of
things people may not think I do. It's
got so when l move my chair over to
where some Of the others are talking,
they don't seem nearly so lively and
kind of quit talking. So, of course, I
can't help believing they were talking
about me, can I? Or else they don't
want me to hear what is being said.

seems to me they all look relieved
when we leave early. Not that care,
but I can't think Of a thing I have
ever done to make people dislike me
or want to get rid of me. Well, all
right. But it seems queer to me that
someone always comes to your door
when I call you up

AIRPLANEs TO LOCATE LAKES
Plan to Use Flying Machines In tho
Finding and PhotooraphIng of
Alaskan Inland Waters.

Locating and photographing undis-
covered lakes in the national forests
of Alaska are the latest uses to which
the airplane has been put, says Ameri-
can Forestry, quoting the United
States forest service. We read:
1T has long been known that there
are many lakes on the headlands and
islands traversed by the inside pas
sage between Seattle and Skagway
that do not appear on any map. Dur
Ing the New YOrk-Nome flight made by
army aviators, lakes were frequently
sighted which could not be found on
the latest and most authentic maps of
the territory. Tales of unknown water
bodies are constantly being brought
In by trappers and prospectors. Less
than a year ago a lake four and one
half miles long and one-half mile wide
was discovered at the head Of Short
bay. This lake has over 1000 acres of
surface area and is less than one and
one-quarter miles from tidewater, yet
because Of the surrounding territory's
rough topography has remained un-
known and unnamed. Recognizing
that many others OF these lost lakes
may be sources of valuable water
power. the forest service has laid
plans to map this no mans land of the
North by means of aerial photographs.
A few days flight, it is said will be
sufficient to cover the area with
degree Of accuracy that would require
many years and great expense to &C.
complish by ordinary methods. The
work, which has been approved by the
federal power commission, will be
done by seaplane, flying from Ketchi~
kan as a base."

Post Office Cautions Hunter.

Post Office Cations Hunter.
Approach of the hunting season
prompted the Post Office department
to Issue instructions the other day
regarding the shipment of bodies of
game animals and birds through the

The regulations prohibit the accept
ance for mailing Of any parcels of this
sort where the game has been killed

Of the laws of any state, territory or

Are you going to make him

Are you going to ruin his char
acter (and maybe your own) by
rows and rows Of pleasant fbs
to prevent a feeling of discom-
fort about his growing up into a
harum-scarum boy? Like human
children, he needs watching and
