T;befnn Women Smear
Their Faces With Mud

rshefan women are not particularly
arspossessing, but this is in some meas
10 due to the practice Of smearing
sns,r faces with Clutch. nowadays with
tns object of securing protection from
.as high winds that blow ON the Tib-
stan plateau. The origin Of the custom
wss however, quite different.
About 200 years ago. In the reign
If the sixth Dalai Lama, that prelate's
advisers were greatly shocked and
alarmed By his amorous prOpensities
Reing high incarnate lama, he should
have ignored the existence of women.
his habit was, however, to 90 about
I,hasa City at night, dallying with. the
pretty girls he met on his way.
To put stop to this, the councillors
,saned orders that every woman should
dIstlgure herself by smearing red earth
on her face, and thereby render herself
repulsive to the young Dalai Lama.
whether this ruse was successful is
not known, but the practice has con-.
tinued down to the present day.
The headdresses Of the women Of
the Weather families are usually COW
cred with large seed pearls and are
sometimes worth as much as $1,000.
Every Tibetan woman wears sus-
pended round her neck by string Of
pearls q "gow," or charm box.
This varies In size from that Of
matchbox to the dimensions of fair
sized book. according to the circum-
stances of the wearer. 1t is usually
coated with gold leaf and studded with
precious stones.
These charm boxes arc handed down
from mother to daughter and, together
with the headdress, represent the saw
ings of the family to which the wearer
belongs. Continental edition of Lon

COAL SHED LOCKS
TANIPERED WITH
Some Parties Suspected Who
Have Been Making Periodic Noe
turnal Visits.

The lock on the coal shed housing
the Bear Creek coal supply of the
county Jail was tampered with We'd
nesday night.
George Bantz shortly past mid
night heard sounds that seemed fami-
liar of someone prowling about the
coal shed, then sort of a clicking
noise as if some one was trying to
pick the lock. He jumped out of
his bed and slipped into his trousers
in a jiffy, but cid crafty heard the
echoes of ShOrty's footsteps, and when
the jailer arrived at the coal shed
door, he saw a bulky form ambling
around the corner of the court house,
and disappear in the dark shadows.
Jailer Bantz says that he could not
make out who the burglar was, but
that he suspects that it is the same
party who had periodically burglar
lied the Jail coal house in the past,
and he again warns the public to
keep a weather eye on the coal sheds.
