TYRoLESE LEVY TAX
ON BoBBED-HAIR GIRL s

BERLIN, Nov. 18.-A tax is being
levied upon bobbed hair in several
Tyrolese villages, not for revenue
purposes; but as a check to a mode
which is considered decadent by the
citizens.
A burgomaster who received a
protest from BARRIERS quoted the
Bible: "But If a woman have long
hair, it is a glory to her, for her
hair is given to her for a cover

CUCZO, Peru, February 19.-Cuzco
is a Quechua word meaning the center
of thing-the womb of the world.
The Incas believed this place to be
the middle of the earth whence came
all life. The four roads to the four
corners of the earth radiated from
the Coricancha-the Temple of the
Sun. This temple was once the soul
of the Incas when Cuzco was great
and glorious and many times larger.
Prof. Ochoa of the University of
Cuzco, who is one of the few Eng
lish- speaking residents of the city.
accompanied me over the cobblestones es
to where stands all that remains OF
what was once the most wonderful
building in the world.
Although only a portion of the orig
inal edifice is standing-it serves now
as a foundation for the monastery
of Santo Domingo-it is enough to be
a most vivid monument to the skill
of the ancient builders.
The mechanical and agriculture
perfection of this piece of stonework
is probably without equal anywhere
on earth, and no picture can do jus
tice to the exact nicely of the cutting
of each stone. A skilled cabinetmak-
finest of tools, could not surpass the
delicate fineness of the joints of these
perfectly cut stones which even CEN
turies of earthquakes have not dis
turbed by even so much as hair'i
