Importance of Light

Too much light can be as bad for
the eyes as too little. Artificial
light is now supplied so readily and
so cheaply that it is a temptation
TO use too much Of tor at least
to direct it with too great in
tensity on what one is reading. Did
you ever try to read book or news
paper with the bright sunlight fall
ing directly on the page? If you
have you will understand how ex-
cessive light can strain and fatigue
the eve. The golden mean in illu-
mination. as in everything else, is
the thing to strive for.-Youth's s
Companion.

power of dropping its tail in escap-
ing from a pursuer Because of
its food habits, this reptile is Of
considerable value to agriculture
The myth of snakes sucking COWS
is entirely untenable Anyone who
has ever milked a cow knows that
the pressure required to obtain a
flow of milk is far greater than
any snake could exert. Further
more, a snake has two rows of
recurved teeth in each jaw which
would make sucking impossible.
The spreading viper or putting
adder, known also by other names.
is one of the greatest buffers
among snakes One of it's peculiar
habits is that of feigning death by
rolling over on it's back. 1t is en-
tirely harmless, as is also the
coachwhip snake, which is suppos-
ed to be able to whip a man to
death.

HoLbein Master of Detail

Holbein. the portrait painter, at
tached to the court of King Henry
VIII during a part of that mon
arch's matrimonial meteoric reign.
was a master of the art of detail
in portraiturs. His portrait of Lady
lane Seymour, who succeeded Anne
Boleyn as queen of England, is one
Of the most important of historical
portraits. not only because of the
fine character of the work as a
whole, but because of the delicacy
with which the artist wrought the
brocade pattern in her dress and re-
produced the exquisite delicacy of
the fragile lace on her sleeves.

First English Parliament

Parliamentary government began
to function in England in the Thir-
teenth century. The first complete
and model parliament was that sum-
moned by Edward I in 1895. To 1t
came the spiritual peers, the heads
Of military orders, the lay peers and
the knights Of the shire. elected in
accordance with a writ addressed
TO the sheriff in the county court
and two burgesses or citizens from
each borough or city which the sher-
iff of the county thought to be of suf-
ficient consequence to send repre-

Origin of Dollar

The name "dolar" originally
came from "thaler," a coin which
originated in Bohemia in 1919 and
was widely used in central Europe
for many years afterward. But the
coin itself was taken from the
Spanish "peso" which was the com,
mon unit of exchange in the West
Indian trade in colonial days. 1t
was called the Spanish dollar. In
1892 the coinage act of the United
States gave legal recognition to
what was already an established in.
stitution. Later the silver content
was slightly changed.

Lots of Money Spent
For Chevrolet Cars

In actual money, considerably
over three hundred millions Of dol
lars were spent for Chevrolet au-
tomobiles since January l. A gen.
eraI tendency toward thrift in this
particular part of the country is
evidenced by the fact that on the
Pacific coast more than $32 500, 900
was saved out of earnings and in
vested in the comfort and service
that is combined in Chevrolet mo-
tor vehicle.
The 100000 car production Of
this company represents a greater
number of units than was built by
it's manufacturing organization dur
ing its entire first eight years OF
existence Chevrolet's present pro-
duction figure is higher than the
number of cars built by all COM
panies in the first 20 years Of the
industry.
In anticipation of another rec
ord-breaking year in 1926, the
Chevrolet Motor company has
greatly extended it's field organiza-
ton. This expansion program in
volved the opening of new zone
offices in New York, Cleveland and
Omaha. Additional sales and SER
vice buildings have been completed
at four other zone points
With we'll over two million cars
and trucks already to it's credit and
one of the most promising years
of the decade ahead, Chevrolet has
an excellent opportunity to repeat
it's present achievement by making
1926 the greatest year of it's his
tory.

Star In High Gear
Goes Through City

Eighty-nine hours between In
dianapolis and Los Angeles in a
Star sedan with gear shift lever
removed and transmission sealed
in high is the remarkable record
claimed by r. w. Hensel of the
''Hoosier" city.
Hansel's wife acted as alternate
driver, and while she piloted the
car, her husband would snatch a
little sleep and refresh himself for
the next turn at the wheel Their
two yougsters, who were with them
on this trip, lolled on the rear seat
of the Star sedan or curled up on
a pile of blankets and pillows when
they became tired The trip was
made with only stops for feed and
fuel
The journey was made via the
National Old Trails which required
negotiating of the we'll known and
much dreaded Ration Pass in New
Mexico. Hansel claimed that this
grade was not difficult for the Star,
nor did he find any grade during
the entire trip that taxed the pow
er Of the motor to the utmost.
AS a result of a wager between
Hansel and a friend, this flying
trip was made to Southern Califor-
MIA. Both posted $500 and Han
sells friend saw that the gear shift
lever was removed and transmits
sion was sealed with plate by the
Western Union office in Indiana
polls.
Hensel checked out of that office
and checked in at a similar office
in Los Angeles so that the time of
eighty-nine hours from start to fin

Early Form of Tanning

The oldest form of satisfactory
tanning was effected by massaging
oil into the hide after the pores had
been opened by repeated washings.
To the Hebrews we are indebted
for the introduction of the use of
oak bark as tannin. With the rise
of the European guild system the
leather industry offered various Op-
nortunities for organizations,
among which were the saddlers,
cobblers and tanners. For time
these organizations became influen-
tial socially and politically.

ish would be authentic and as Of
fetal as possible.
On checking UP the time, it was
found that the average speed was
slightly in excess of thirty miles
an hour and the fuel average was
32.4 miles per gallon.

heat of the summer. This dance
is another of the interesting re-
ligious ceremonials which take
place in Indian localities. The
modern dance is an outgrOwth of
an old ceremonial which was a
prayer for rain From some un-
known source the Indian received
the idea that snakes, especially the
rattlers, were definitely related to
the supply of moisture. Real rattle
snakes are hunted out for two
weeks before the dance. They are
fondly cuddled during the course
of the ceremonial and turned loose
in all directions when the dance is
over. 1t is believed that the people
living in the section to which the
snake goes will be blessed with
abundant rainfall and their crops
will flourish.
The Apache buck is not generally
considered an ambitious fellow un-
less some external pressure is
brought to bear. ~It is not an un-
common thing to see an Apache
man walking empty handed down
the road while his squaW labors
along wearily beside him, her back
bent with the heavy load of food
or other necessary household i'm
pedimenta which it is her duty to
transport from place to place. One
hot day last August, an Apache
buck and his squaw happened into
the city The sun was beating
down. The buck who had been car
rying his coat and his gun reached
over calmly and piled these on top
of the huge load of mesquite that
his squaw was carrying on her
back.
When he dies the Indian brave
believes that he will take up his
sojourn in a wonderful "happy
hunting grounds" Various ways
of doing away with the human
frame are in practice in the diff
ferent tribes. Among the most in
teresting is the burial ceremony of
the Mojave branch of the Apaches,
The Mojaves dwell in the northern
part of the state in the section
bordering upon the Colorado river.
Weeping and wailing issue from the
locality of the deceased buck. This
is led by the officials of the COM
munity. If the lamentations wane
before the proper time, the mourn
ers are forcefully exhorted to con-
tinue their demonstrations of grief
Elders of the tribe assist the
squaw of the dead warrior to tear
down the house because it is be-
lieved that the hogan (the dwell
ing) is not fit for anyone else to
inhabit. Great packs of debris are
piled upon the back of the squaw
who carries this to the funeral
pyre. When about one-half of the
material available is utilized, the
body of the deceased is hoisted
reverently upon the shoulders of
the leaders of the tribe and borne
to the pile. The piling of fuel con-
tinues until the pyre resembles a
cord of wood in size. The leader
of the tribe advances slowly with
lighted torch and the weeping in
creases noticeably "A slow char
acteristic dance is started around
the fire.
When the pyre is reduced to
ashes the remains are carefully
gathered into a small appropriate
receptacle and carried with the
proper ceremonies to the spot des-
ignated for the burial. After the
last rites have been' done, and the
walls and sounds of weeping die
out, the Indian life in the little
Mojave village goes on as before.
