lceland's Girls Are
Strictly Up to Date

Reykjavik, Iceland.-The girls Of
Iceland may be separated from the
rest Of the world by hundreds Of miles
Of Arctic sea, but fashions penetrate
here almost as rapidly as news of the
outside world.
The national costume, unchanged
for hundreds Of years, Is still worn
almost exclusively in the rural dis
tricts, but in the cities the girl who
aspires to social standing keeps
abreast Of the times.
American sailors, who visited Ice
land lin connection with the rOund-the-
world airplane fight, were more than
surprised when they found bobbed hair
and other feminine foibles usually as
ISOLATED with Paris, London and New
York. There was the customary dis
play Of silken hose, "slinker" gowns,
unmarked waistlines and wrap-a-round
skirts, with faint aroma Of black
narcissus or other Partisan perfumes
lowering about the dainty persons of
the wearers.

Commissioned to Paint
Christ on Prison Wall

Montgomery, Ala.-Having painted
his way out Of the federal penitentiary.
In. Atlanta, Max Sasanoff, Russian
artist, has been commissioned to
paint a. picture Of Christ upon the
walls Of Kilby prison near here.
Sasanoff was granted clemency by
President Harding after the artist
had translated his conception Of the
compassionate Christ on the gray
walls Of the federal prison in Atlanta
His fame for this picture spread, and
the Big Brothers Bible class Of Mont
gomery, one Of the largest interde-
nominational classes in the South, OBJ
tanned the artist for a smaller task at
the state prison.
Prisoners at Kilby have donated 8
cents each, one-third Of their weekly
allowance. to aid in meeting the 'ex-
pense of the painting. It is hoped
that it will be ready for unwilling by
Christmas.

"Don't worry" says the doctor and
"don't worry" says the friend, but
show can stop worrying" says the
worried one, "when I have SO much to
worry about?" Recreation offers the
means, says one who knows. Every
man should have a hobby or two to
divert his mind and relax the tension
Of business and other cares.
Chauncey Depew took up speech
making as a hobby. In order to pre-
pare and deliver his after-dinner
speeches, he was compelled to COM
pletely forget his duties as railroad
president. He is more than ninety
years old now and is still serving the
New York Central railroad. Garden
ing, music, reading, art and a thou
sand other things offer opportunities
for persons to forget their troubles.
Play is the best kind of exercise and
calisthenics will help. Keep busy and
do not eat too much. Il

ANCIENT RELICS TO
BELONG TO MUSEUM
Fine Archaeological Collec-
ton for Houston, Texas.

One of the largest and most inter-
esting archaeological collections in the
Southwest is that of Prof. w. f. Cum
minis, oil geologist for the Southern
Pacific railroad. Professor Cummins
has announced his intention Of pre-
senting this wonderful collection Of
ancient relics to the Houston museum.
It consists Of several hundred stone
and clay images which he found in
the Maya ruins in Yucatan, Mexico,
and many strange objects which he
\unearthed in exploring prehistoric
mounds in Missouri. 5
4 One specimen Is, sacred image
carved in stone. found nearly forty
years ago in Missouri mound, pro-
nounced by expert biologists Of the
government not only genuine, but the
finest specimen ever found from the
mounds and cumuli Of the prehistoric
civilized race of the United States,
probably thousands Of years old. Pro-
lessor Cummins refused an offer Of
$1,000 for 1t, or for a cast Of 1t, from
a government scientific institution.
But he kept it as the only one Of its
kind for presentation to the Houston
museum.
The workmanship of this stone
image is perfect, requiring high ar
tistic skill in conception and execu-
ton, indicating that an advanced de-
gree Of civilization had been reached,
as well as a knowledge Of species of
animals thats have not existed for
thousands Of years on this continent.
The image has the beak Of an eagle,
the horn Of rhinocerOs, the feet of
an elephant. the shell Of tortoise.
the flippers Of seal and the tail Of
ella monster, also the wings Of a
grasshopper or locust. 1t is stained
with brown pigment Of some I'M
known substance. and when discovered
was incased in red clay. 1t Is carved
from a fine-grained hard white lime
stone, is 80 inches long and weighs
60 pounds. When found.a small creek
had cut away part Of the mound, leav-
ing some Of the image exposed. 1t
has been in Professor Cummins' pos
session since 1885. ~
AS the ancients Of central Asia had
the tradition Of the Noachian deluge.
destroying the most of the world, SO
also the ancient American races had
similar tradition. Having suffered
from great destruction Of vegetation
in what are now some Of the western
states, their tradition was that the
world was DESTROYED by swarms Of
~rasshoppers. This image commend
rates the destruction Of the world by
grasshoppers, according to Professor
Cummins. T,S

A Book Ledger

1 got my most definite literary slim
illus from my father, who continually
managed to irculcate in me an inter
est in good books. On my last visit
home l found put away in a safety
deposit box a ledger which shows he
presented it to me on my eleventh
birthday, and in which he had written
the request that I should note the
name of every book read and with a
brief review tell the impression 1t
riladeton me. I faithfully kept up that
record until I was through college. AS
I looked over it the other day, re-read-
ing the boyish scrawls on the earlier
pages, I found in an elaborate dis
cussion of Scottish Chiefs" the begin
ming of a taste, literary or otherwise
but anyway for reading-that has still
endured.-Will HI. Hays, in Hearst's

U. S. REJECTS HIM;
NO PLACE TO GO
Vaudeville Performer Is Man
Without a Country.

New York.-Aaron Schwarz, twenty
three years old, strong man In vau-
deville, Is wondering how he is going
to get out Of the United States. He
has just learned that In a sense he Is
a man without country. While on
tour he came into the United States
through Laredo, Texas, whichsis not
recognized port Of entry. Not inter-
fered with, Schwarz continued with
the company until immigration inspec-
tors located him and told him he could
not remain In the United States, as
he lacked passport. ~
He volunteered to depart on his own
accord, but was not sent to Ellis
island. When he appeared to board
the steamship Cleveland, bound for
Hamburg, the officials would not let
him sail because he did not have Gre
dentials permitting him to enter Ger
many. Schwarz Is Ukrainian, but
performed in France for more than q
year. - @I
Schwarz said that If he could get
a steamship company to permit him
to sail he would come back with
proper credentials and continue his
tour. IS
+ In the meantime Schwarz is free
on his own recognizance. The United
States does not want him and the
steamship companies won't take him
to Europe. Schwarz is wondering
what he will do. He has no papers
to establish his nationality. Guess
I'll have to take and manage you,"
said Miss Beatrice Nader, his fancee.

Lining Viper Found
in Stomach of Girl

Chur, Switzerland.-When the

had died in terrible agony was
opened, living viper was found.
The patient had been put on a
strict diet, and the venomOus
snake, driven by hunger, had
eaten the intestines of the young
woman.
Only one explanation seems
likely. namely, that the girl.

mountains, drank from a noun

a serpent egg or small living
