AUTOMOBILE HELPS MAKE
 LApLANDERS PROSPEROUS
Tourist Travel Through Land of Mid- night Sun Makes Its Inhabi-
 tants Deal Richer

Abisko Swedish Lapland, Dec. 7-- Santa Claus will move southward this year with an unusually fat and sleek lot of reindeer. There was an abund- ance of snow last winter, and rains have been frequent throughout the year in the mountain ranges over which the Laps herd their charges. Consequently the moss, the seanty grass which survives the climate of the land north of the Arctic Circle and the small birch and shrubs have provided the reindeer with more than the average amount of forage.
 The increase of tourist travel through Lapland as result of new automobile roads has brought pros- perity to many Laplanders. Travel CTS are now leaving the excursion ships at various points in the Norwe- gian flords and inspecting the land of the midnight sun at close range. Tour ing agencies have arranged camps on many picturesque lakes overlooked by glaciers, and venturesome moun- tain climbers are wandering far away from the beaten trail.
 Like American Indians, the Laps are becoming more and more con- merciAIized in the line of travel. Many of them are becoming professional Laps. and they reap harvest in tour list season selling reindeer slippers and reindeer clothing to the visitors.
 This has been an especially good year for tho Lapland souvenir dealers,
 A-. il. assumed pre-war proportions. Even the German shipping companies re- newed their excursions Into the land of the midnight sun.

TUNNELS HELP IN
 AERQNAUIIC COURSE
Miniature ArchVayS Part of Lab Oratory Equipment of J. of M.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Dec. 7--Tunnels through which wind will die into a gentle zephyr or roar into double barreled cyclone" with a velocity of 800 miles an hour, are part of the laboratory equipment for the Uni- yersity of Michigans courses in aero nautics engineering. The tunnels, ac- cording to Prof. Felix W. Pawlcwski, in charge of the aeronautics course, are the most efficient yet provided for testing wind currents and other atmospheric conditions met in flying.
 The tunnels for the gentle breezes and for higher velocity up to t5o miles an hour are completed and in operation. The "double-barreled cy- clone" equipment has not been in- stalled. The wind tunnels" Prof. In the instruction of aeronautical principles, but their construction was not easy.
 Because of the force of 15o-mile wind. 1t was necessary to install a series of doors giving access to the tunnel chamber. Tn each door. TO feet high by ? feet wide, is a small valve. To enter. the valve of the outside door is opened, and the per- son enters. The door is then closed and tho second door is opened when the air in the two rooms is stable. This operation is continued through three chambers.
 The tunnels are 80 arranged that most of the experiments are prepared outside and wheeled into the labora- tory winds, which are manufactured" by airplanc propellers attached to mos tors of varying power.
 Michigan was one of the first uni- versailles in America to offer course in aeronautics engineering, the first classes being called in February, 1915. Tour men attempted to graduate in 1915. when the need of men with aeronautical training was keenly felt, but only two degrees were issued. Only one other school, the Massachu- sets Institute of Technology. offers e degree at the end of its aeronautics course, according to Prof. Pawlowsixi. There are several other institutions, however, where the science of avin- ton Is taught.
 Fourteen courses are offered at tho university here, beginning with gem eral course on the theory of aviation. Other branches of the subject taught include the design of propellers, de- sign of planes and motors. a labora- tory course in aerodynamics. courses fnr ths ~t1idv of bafIoonE dfrfathles and kites had advanced work for the study of air conditions affecting &C., tual flying.

ABLE TO TELL
FUTURE. SAYS
SAVANT

~ ARIS.-Within a few years
it will be possible with
n reasonable certainty to pre-.
dict the future.
This is the amazing statement
of DIR. Paul Osty in q book just
published jim Paris under the
title: ''Super-normal Understand
ing" which has aroused the scien-
tific world of Europe.
1.-THE scientific demonstration
of determinism is a fact which
the world must expect to see
within a very short time" stated
DIR. Paul Heuze, famous savant,
speaking of Osty's work.
The book in question contains
a number of examples in which
the future is alleged to have been
correctly foretold in variety of
fashions.
1t is related that a woman
noted for her metaphysical SEN
sibility" said to Monsieur 90"
that she saw him in danger OF
death.
You are on road hear a
terrible noise-what a noise," said
the medium. "But happily, you

Identify"
A few months later, says Osty,
Monster Q" was driving his car
in the country and collided with
a baker. The latter was thrown,
bleeding, to the ground, surround
ed by loaves of bread.
DIR. Osty says that while my
experiments seem to me conclu-
sive, am continuing them with
view of finding exactly what
causes the metaphysical semi
consciousness producing the phe-
nomena by which the future is
foretold with such accuracy.
"Once l find this-and 1 be-
lieve have the key in my grasp
Il hope to prove that this sensi-
bility to the future is a gift with
in the development of any person
willing to train his subconscious
mind"
The French Metaphysical So
ciety has Endorsed Osty's work.
but the French Academy Of
Science remains skeptical.

ZULUS PICK
WIVES WHO
DANCE

AYO doubt many matches in
~ this country are made
n through. the medium of
the dance. That is, young people
may meet at dancing party and
find that they are most congenial.
Others may discover that they
dance we'll together and in that
way become better acquainted
simply because they like to
dance.
Dancing, however is not a
specific requirement In marriage
and there are a hundred other
ways for young people to meet.
But in Zululand in Africa the
dance is the first and last con-
sideration when it comes to
matchmaking, courtship, and,
finally, to marriage.
In fact. dancing is a specific
requirement for girl who wishes
to find husband. And it is the
dance which gives the young
native of this wild country a
chance to make up his mind
which of the Zulu girls he
prefers. ..
1t is an extraordinary ceremony
which takes place at the time of
selecting wives, and it may re-
mind the traveller of his town
back home.
The young men, bedecked with
feathers and plumes, and the
young women, respondent in all
the beads on which they can lay
their hands for the occasional
lineup on two sides, the men on
one side and the girls on the
other-as for a Virginia reel.
Then the tom-toms start. The
melody cannot be followed or re-
produced by a stranger, because
to foreigners there does not
seem to be the slightest trace of
a tune. But the rhythm-that is
a different thing. 1t is exactly
the same as is exploited by the
very jazZiest of our snappiest jazz
bands.
Then how they do dance! The
girls dance as if their lives de-
pended on it. They really don't.
But their chances of landing
husband do. Because as these
shining black Africans dance, the
young men opposite them are
STUDYING them carefully.
Finally they each select a girl.
It is the ability to dance which
attracts him and for which he
selects her as his wife.
1t is needless to say that dane
ing is a very popular pastime in
Zululand.

Take the word of F'lorenz Zieg-
field. jr., of New York, for this
prediction. And Ziegfeld ought to
know, inasmuch as he has been
inspecting girls of all ages AMI
degrees, of pulchritude for many
years.
While this judge Of feminine
beauty was visiting here recently
he was asked upon what grounds
he made this statement. To this
he replied:
"The composite of perfect wom-
anly beauty will have an Ameri-

Irish complexion. Qualities of
