Confidence Or Doubt

In the business world. hand sha :
king plays an important part. A
business caller. man or woman,
customarly is greeted by hand
shake and is dismissed. or. dismisses
himself or herself, in the same way.
Business introductions are usually
accompanied by hands shakes, and
what is more, the hand clasp here
may inspire either confidence or
doubt. SO it behooves you to watch
your hand shake.
A child ought to be taught how to
shake hands and when to shake
hands. 1t Is delightful to see a child
straightforwardly extend his hand
when a grown up offers his. II he
gets used to doing it young, it will
not be an ordeal for him later. and
he can be natural and utterly lack
Inconsistencies in the matter.
thereby reserving his attention for
sizing up the situation and acting
and talking accordingly.-From the

Where Did The American Indian
Come From?

Pyramids and temples have been
found in Mexico which revert to the
ancient Egyptians in a good many
ways. This might mean that the In
dams came from Egypt. Another
thing is that the features of the In
dams are somewhat like the Mongol-
ians. In sun temple in Yucatan
various relics have been unearthed
which correspond with Chinese i'm
plements of an earlier stage
The Indians could not very we'll be
both of Egypt and China at the
same time. And why isn't there any
legend from the Indians to that effect,
if this is the case?
OF course tit possible, though not
likely, that they went from Egypt
and then to China, thence to America
via Alaska. There's another outlet
to conjure on.-From Adventure
Magazine.

many hundreds Of miles. For it
must be remembered that large VOL
umes of air can be. and are, moved
from one part of the globe to another
q very long way off.
The life history of many surface
air-currents has been Investigate ted.
and in the course Of these inquiries
much has been learned as to the
movement of masses of air over long
stretches of the Atlantic.
In one case, for example, it was
found that the shores of Greenland

the middle of the Atlantic four days
previously.
In another case it was discovered
volume of air had travelled from
SpitZbergcn to join the northeas st
trade wind off the west coast of
Africa.
Then, again, some air which had
formed the wind off the coast of
Ireland was traced back to the north
of Africa whilst that which had been
Lowing at the entrance to the Chan
mel two days later, came from Hud-
sons Bay, by way of the Azores.
1t has been pointed out by a high
meteorological authority that these
long journeys were performed in a
way strikinSly resembling the pass
age of a fast ship, in that more head

others, and that within any small
number of hours there was no more

of women whom poets-poets who

have always celebrated, have been

Passion Play Actors Get Faces
Shaved

There hes been record whisker
harvest in Oberammergau. lmmed-
lately after the last performance or
the Passion Play all the chief per-
formers went TO the barber and had
their boards shaved off.
Their motive is extraordinary.
These world famous village players
have been pestered with applications
from American motion picture COM
panies to be allowed to filn,.the Pas
sion Play. and in one instance 1900,
900 marks were offered.
1t is the traditional principle that
no financial benefit must accrue to
the players. In order to make futile
any further film offers tperhaps also
to avoid temptation) the players
sacrificed their whiskcrs. A decade
will elapse before the play Will be
repeated and the villagers have
plenty Of time to grow new boards.

cut about an inch from the stems.
plunge the stems in very hot water

This is particularly successful with

Want to Buy a South Sea Isle?

1t is practically impossible for the
man of small means to acquire an
island in the South Seas. In French
Oceania, as well as throughout Poly
nesa and Melanesia, rich ira aiding
companies are buying and leasing all
available outlying islands of value.
Twenty or thirty years ago the av-
erage man could pick up small
island almost for his asking; but
since then a trading boom has struck
the islands and things are no longer
as they were in the wild, carefree
days. And the time is drawing on
when the average man will not even
find it possible to buy himself a dec
ont strip of island land, SO valuable
will it become within the next few
years.-From Adventure Magazine.
