American Tips Not 80 Big

England's shopkccpcrs, hotel and
restaurant proprictorS and head
walters say this years American
tourist crop is not of the munifi-
cent preWar variety. OF the persons
and enterprises that usually wax
fat on tourist rushcs, the steamship
companies are the only ones which
have no complaint, for as yet there
is no steamship substitute for trans
Atlantic travel, and they have sell
dom, if ever, cclipscd this years
business.
But once landed on English soil.
this years tourist has comportcd
himself quite differently from the
old -timer who made the American
traveller known for his lavish tips,
reckless buying of jewels and cloth
ing and indiscriminate purchases Of
'curios," genuine or otherwise. In
stead of buying trunkfuls of apparel
here the 1922 tourist is bringing
plenty of clothing along, and doing
his sightseeing from "rubberncck"
Charabancs instead of from the
privately used motor cars of former
years.
According to tho walters. the pres
emit day tourists have trimmed their
tips to q scant 10 percent of their
Eills-in fact are outdone by British
and continental patrons in the mat
ter of tipping. The hotel managers
note marked decrease in the num-
Der of American tourists who travel

tinucS Of servants.
"Only a few of those most FORUM
ately situated apparently can afford
to travel in such state nowadays

Loneliness of Lepers
Relieved by Radio

Cabras Island, the home of Porto
Rico's leper colony, after years of
dreary days and silent nights, can
now listen to the voices of the
world. A radio receiving set has
just been installed there, and soon a
loud-speaker will be attached, and
thirty-six new radio fans will be en-
chanted with the marvels of science
and occasionally, of course, disguised
with the pervcrseness of static. The
radio set was made possible by an
anonymous gift of 500 which came
! from New York, to which were added
| local contributions.
Probably not since it's invention
| has the setting up of radio set been
| watched by a more interested group
of spectators than that which fol-
lowed the movements of the Rev.
Charles b. Bare and two employees
of the Porto Rico Telephone Com
pany as they installed the instru-
ment. Not that there was much
animated comment or boisterous en-
| thusiasm. Life on a bare, shadeless
reef on which the hot suns rays
beat fiercely, and against which the
! surf pounds ceaselessly, is not con-
ducive to an cXuberant display OF
f. feeling.
! when the loud speaker comes you
will be able to hear concerts. music
and singing in San Juan, in Havana
| and in the big cities of the United
States" they We're told. There was
chorus of "Magnifico" and "que
bueno," and one man remarked-"1t
was meant for such exiles as we
are" For, near as they are to San
Juan, the lepers regard their isola-
ton as exile. "Somos pobres des-
| terradoes" owe are Door eXileS")
. they tell YOU. They complain of the
| loneliness of their lives mora than
they do Of the disease itself. Even
| the prospect of hearing nightly the
| strains of famous orchestras and the
words of eloquent speakers does not
reconcile them to their lot.
They hate the glaring sunlight
for it pains their eyes. They hate
the salt and misty night airs. for
they aggravate their sufferings. They
hate the dreary darkness of night
| relieved by nothing but little oil
lamps. "Help to get us away from
here" thew urge the visitor.

The Rocks Of Hiawatha's Country

The pictured rocks OF Lake Super
Tor are a natural curiosity consisting
of a series of sandstone cliffs. extend
ing for about seven miles along the
southern shore of the lake. They rise
vertically from the waters edge to
q height varying from so to 800
feet. and present a remarkable eX-
hibition of the eroding power OF
water, combined with brilliant hues
impaired by certain minerals.
"Kings Handbook of the United
States" says the rocks are worn by
the waves into many strange and
fantastic shapes, as OF castles, tow
ers. chapels. gates, sails and profiles'

Bandits Respect Red Cross

One of the largest bandit gangs in
Russia, 100 strong, which neither the
Red army nor famine has as vet
stamped out, continues to operate in
the Pugachof district, but in no way
have the robbers ever attempted to
interfere with American relief work.
erS.
1t has been estimated that about
1900 of the men have horses. The
band is made up chiefly of army de-
serters who operate in units of Is
to 20 men.
According to relief workers the
bandits always make it point to
avoid anything belonging to the
American Relief Administration. In
Balakova the government warehouse
was robbed, while the American Re-
lief Administration storage house
next Toor. bulgin: with cocoa, sugar,
caned milk and other good things to
eat, was not touched.
AS an Illustration of further con-
sideration by the bandits OF the
famine sufferers. it is related that
some of the gang last summer rode
up to one of the American Relief Adj
ministrations, village kitchens, merely
tasted the food being prepared for
the children, pronounced it very good.

Persian RELIGIOUS Belief

The Persians and Chaldeans be-
lieved in Ahriman, chief of the caco-
demons of fallen angels. They were
thought to have been expelled from
heaven for their sins. Having en-
dcavored to settle down upon the
earth at several times, according TO
legend. they were always rejected
Out of revenge they found their
pleasure in injuring the inhabitants.
Xenocritus thought that penance and
self modification though not agree
able to the gods. would pacify the
malice of the cacodemOnS. Ahriman
and his followers were believed fin
ally to have taken up their abode in
all the space between the earth and
the fixed stars. and there established
their domain called Ahriman-a bad.
AS Ahriman was the spirit of evil in
the Persian religion, so Armudz was
the spirit of good.

NAPOLEON Dreaded an"

Napoleon had peculiar dread OF
certain days and certain numbers.
Indeed, he disliked some letters. For
instance. he regarded the letter M"
as boding i'll luck. We can conjecture
a reason, though hardly rational
one, for some of his dislikes, when we
study Napoleon's career. Moreau be-
trayed him; Mallet conspired against
him: Murat and Marmont deserted
him; Metternich beat him in the dl-
plomatic game; he surrendered him
self to Captain Maitland of the Bell
erophon; he received his worst de-
feat near Mont Saint Jean at Water
loo. The tide of his military success
turned at Moscow. To be sure. we
could quote other names beginning
with NJ that were associated with
happy events and good fortune in his
life But such likes and dislikes
cannot be explained on rational
erounds.-Prof. Heinrich Bloch in
Poster Lloyd.

= This big increase in the outturnI
of our factories means that we are
building up a considerable market;
abroad for the manufactures produced
from this imported material. The
value of silk manufactures export
ed from the United States in the
calendar year 1920 was approxi-i
mately $27,OOO,0OO against a little,
over 100000 in the year preced-
ing the war, and while of course
the 1922 figures are materially be-.
low those of 1920, the total value
of silk manufactures exported in
the calendar year 1922 is approxi-
mately six times as much as in the
year preceding the war. Silk
goods produced in the factories of.
the United States now go to over
sixty countries and colonies, in.
GLIDING considerable quantities
sent to thS countries from which
we draw our raw silk, China and
japan.
The capital invested in the silk
manufacturing industry of tho
United States was reported by the
census of 1920 at $533,OOO,OOO, as
against $2l0,OOOO00 in 1914, and
$8l 100000 in 1900. The sum paid
in wages in the silk industry in
1919 was $l08O00.0O0, against S47.-
100000 in 1914. and $2O,Od,0OO in
1900. 1
