CHINA'S WALL is CRUMBLlNG
Wonderful Structure, Built 200 B. c.,
Believed, However, to Be Good
for Many Centuries.

Recent visitors to the great wall Of
China, which Is accessible at Nankow
forty miles from Picking, describe it as
slowly crumbling. Many of the tur-
retS which command its salient points
as the wall climbs over the mountain
tops are in ruins and tourists and ma
lives alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw into
the valleys below. Yet It Is maintained
that the great structure, extending
from Shanhaikuan on the sea almost
to the borders of Tibet has many cen.
turtles to live, although no efforts are
made TO preserve It.
Construction of the wall was be
gun 200 b. c. by Emperor Chih Huang-
Il, contemporary of Hannibal who
conceived this barrier to keep out the
Tnrtars. At one time 100000 Grim
inaIs and prisoners of war were en-
gagged in the work. The main part Of
the wall, however was not undertaken
until the Seventh century. when, II Is
said, 100000 workers were employed.

Cohune nut oil, which is obtained
from the fruit of a variety Of palm
tree that grows In Central and South
America, has been examined by the
Department of Agriculture. 1t re
sembles coconut oil and can replace IT
for many purposes The supply Of
these nuts Is almost unlimited and
several firms are now attempting to
establish the manufacture Of the oil on
a commercial basis.
Although during the war there was
scarcity of fats and oils in some
countries, It seems that there are plen-
ty of sources from which to obtain
them in this country and many other
parts OF the world

Seeds as Source Of Wealth.

Although there are number of pro-
ductive sources Of vegetable oils used
in the arts and in the manufacture of
food products, Investigations by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture indicate that valuable edible oils
may be obtained in paying quantities
from waste products and from seeds.
such as the suntlower, not yet grown
to any great extent in this country.
At the present time the principal
sources of vegetable oils are faxseed,
cottOnseed, soy beans, corn germs,
peanuts, palm, rape seed, tungnuts,
mustard seed, sesame, castor beans
and olives.

Professors who according to a dis
patch from Berlin) recently counted
the hairs on the heads of an entire

shaving or many tweezer pluckings.

who have passed through that tedious
experience.
While the extreme fashion for the
severely fine line has gone. the eye

formerly. This symmetry is not an
impossible achievement for those with
brows in which many hairs are out of
alignment Tho first thing Is to train
the hairs SO they will fall into an
arched line, after which 1t will only
be a matter Of few strokes with the

chased at any drug store. or a stiff
toothbrush will answer.
