WORDS FROM
THE LIP OF
WISE MEN

THE best mirror is an old

Hope. makes pain easy, ana
labor pleasant.
Cheerfulness is the best pro-
moter Of health.
Wit ts the salt Of conversation,
not the food.
Pleasing everybody is pleasing
nobody.
Who makes no promises has
none to perform.
He who commits no crime re-
Quires no law.
Secrets never disclosed are

When you have to fool the
world tell the truth
Troubles spring from 1dleness,
and grievous tolls from needless
ease.
It IL the finest peach in the or
chard that has the most stones
thrown at 1t.
True politeness consists In being
easy ones self and in making
everybody about one as easy as
one can.
The hypocrite would not put on
the appearances of virtue If 1t
were not the most proper means
to gain love.
The readiest way to entangle
the mind with false doctrine Is
first to entice the will to wanton
living.
To be perpetually longing and
impatiently DESTROYS of anything
so that one cannot abstain from
1t, is to lose ones liberty.

The good man quietly dis
charges his duty, and shuns
ostentation; the vain man con-
siders every good deed lost that
is not publicly displayed,
How Is 1t possible to avoid
loving him whom we are certain
always to find with serenity on
his brow and a smile on his
countenance?
Many have been ruined by
their fortunes, many have es-
capped ruin by the want of for
tune. To obtain 1t, the great
have become little, and the little
great.

HOW INDIAN
GIRLS MAKE
DEBUTS

A RISTOCRATIC modern So
"A ciety, with its coming out
4 n parties" for debutantes, has
nothing on the Washoe Indians
of Nevada, who have a unique
dance given to every girl of the
tribe publicly announcing she is
ready for marriage, according to
q report received by Secretary
Of the Interior Work from the
superintendent Of the Reno In
dian reservation in Nevada.
The dance or ceremony IL
called "the girls dance" and the
girl who is the central figure
eats nothing for a period of four
days. On the fourth night the
dance is held, beginning at 8
o'clock in the evening and con.
tinuing until sunrise the follow
ing morning. It consists OF the
Indians joining hands in a circle
and moving by short dance
steps sideways around the ring,
humming q sort Of chant with
out words or meaning. The girl,
accompanied by some older wom-
an, evidently q chaperon, carries
a long staff to support her be-
cause of her weakness through
loss Of food during her fast,
weaves in and out OF tho dance,
Joining in the steps.
AS the dance proceeds late
into the night, the family Of the
girl give money and other pos
sessions to the dancers to keep
them moving and to induce
others to join in the dance, the
greatest number of dancers signi-
flying the popularity Of the fam.
lily. Shortly after midnight a big
feast is given by the girls rela-
tives, all present participating.
The ceremony closes at sun
rise, when the girl is taken inside
of her tepee and attfred in
punches of sagebrush. in which
money is concealed. She appears
later before the assembled dancers
outside and throws the money to
them amid a wild scramble. A
can of water is then dashed over
her head. concluding the cere-
mony, after which she is ready to
receive a proposal of marriage.

LAND BROUGHT UNDER PL0W
States ArtifieiaIIy Irrigated to
Point Of High Production.

Under the system of federal coop
Grafton the reclamation of Americas
arid lands proceeds today with in
creased speed and confidence. Before
1850 the number Of farms under irri.
cation in the United States was 500,
comprising 10000 acres; in 1910 the
acreage had increased to 14,433,2 S5.
while by 1920 the government census
shows 1,916, 391 farms under irrigation,
with an irrigated acreage Of 1891.
716 and an area subject to irrigation
under projected systems in excess of
100000 acres. The present gross
area under irrigation in the United
States, all Of which is the result Of
not more than 70 years activity, rep
resents one-fifth of the aggregate
lands now being irrigated on the
earth's surface. In addition we have
many great projects in view, including
the Columbia river project, which con-
templates the reclamation Of 100000.
600 acres Of arid land, and the Colo
RADIO basin, with 100000 acres, while
bills In congress and appropriations al
ready provided furnish many hundreds
Of millions Of dollars and include de-
velopment in all parts of the country
where irrigation Is in practice.-Ed-
gar L. Hampton In Current History.

New Chemical Element.

Two Danish scientists, DR.. g. Hevesy
and DR.. d. Coster, working at the city
Of Copenhagen, have announced the
discovery Of q new chemical element
which they call "hafnium."
Hafnium was discovered by means Of
its X-ray spectrum. 1t occupies, the
Danish scientists believe, one Of the
six vacant places long known to exist
In the list Of the chemical elements.
Strange to say, this latest recruit
among the chemical elements seems to
be quite common in the world. Doc
tors Hevesy and Coster think there is
more of 1t in the earth's crust than
there Is Of gold.-Popular Science

culation. but it makes no provision
for reduction. The quantity of pa
per issued Is regarded as absolutely
necessary for the normal working of
business, since it's purchasing value
is something like $4,000 times less
than before the war.
Eventually all bills of denomina-
lions lower than a hundred will be
eliminated. Even a hundred crown
note is of little use; it is scorned even
as tip.
Austrian business is in such a sem
sitive condition that any sudden rise
in the exchange value of the crown
would be disaster almost equal to
a sudden fall. Interior affairs. as
we'll as foreign business relations,
have gradually been adjusted to the
abnormal relation of the crown to
other money AID it is considered best
that it remain unchanged for the
present.
As there is nothing left in Austria
SO insignificant as to be reckoned
in single crowns, tens of crowns,
or hundreds. bills of those denomi-
nations will gradually disappear to
be replaced by five hundreds and
thousands.
