Pocket Flask ReUiUed

Americans have revived the pocket
flask. Flasks are made here today in
more than 100 different designs. The
present forms are the outcome Of end
less experiment.
Man discovered. the need Of con-
tainer for carrying refreshments at
very early period, long before he had
acquired the necessary skill to con-
struct them. The first TASKS were
doubtless made from horns, by plug
ging the open end. When man learned
to use metal and make glass he ap-
piled the materials to the construction
of TASKS to fit into holsters or sad
dies, leather or wicker cases, safe
guarding them against breakage
Flasks were often made of leather in
the Sixteenth century.-New York

Ancient Ceremonial Masks

What is believed to be the first col

cred from the regions of the upper
Amazon has been brought to America
by Arthur n. Fisher, a Philadelphia
naturalist, who made an expedition
into South America in the interests of
the Museum of the American Indian,
Heye foundation. The pieces repre-
sent beasts and birds as well as hu-
man subjects, and are curiously fash
Toned and painted. They were OBJ
tanned from tribe in Peru. Pieces of
pottery were also collected. To the
uninitiated, the masks bear a strange
resemblance to the figures appearing
on totem poles, or to the crude designs
made by children.-POpular Mechanics

ST. PAUL ECHO


The device recently approved for
the Chaplains' school, Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan, which is to be used on
stationery, diplomas, mural decora-
tons and SO forth, has been described
as follows: The shield is black, the
color or the facings Of the Chaplains'
corps, and displays a torah, the SYM
Dol Of the old law, over which is a gold
cross, the symbol of the new faith.
The shield and motto are displayed on
a pointed oval the early shape of the
church seals, produced by the inter-
section of two equal circles each of
which passes through the center of
the other, producing that which is
true" In the space in the oval above
the shield is ribbon scroll bearing
the motto, "The fear Of the Lord is
the beginning Of wisdom" Around the
edge Of the oval is the legend, 1.-The
Chaplains' School of the United States
Army"

"News" Is commonly believed ia
be formed from the initial letters Of
the four directions, north, east, west,
and south, but it is authoritatively
claimed that the interesting sameness
Is merely coincidence. There are
synomous foreign words nova" and
"nouvelles," which employ various
letters to mean the same thing. In
our own language the word was for,
merly spelled "newes." It is likely
that the German word "das neue" is
the origin of ours since their phrase.
"Was giebt neues?" means the same
as our, whats the news?"

Defect in Mental Tests

Doctor Binet, the French psycholo-
gist, is called the father Of intelli-
gence tests, now so much in vogue in
American schools and colleges. Binet,
after prolonged experiments, is quoted
as having cautioned educators that
tests are never absolute and cannot
be wholly depended upon to give
pupils true mental rating. Teachers,
he urged in effect, should rely to large
extent on their own judgment, using
intelligence tests not as crutch but
rather as a convenient point Of de-
parture in any effort to help youth
find itself.

DEFORMED HEAD TO
SAVE INFANTS LIFE
Beauty Not First Idea of
Disagreement.

Although not so common as It was
in years gone by, there are still nu-
merous places in the world where de-
fOrmities are manufactured for va
rious purposes. This forms the theme
Of an interesting article which re-
Gently appeared in the Popular Sci
ence Magazine by Victor Raymond.
The deliberate flattening Of the hu-
man head, for instance, says the
article, continues to enjoy something
like universally among savage and
semi-barbarious people. Naturally,
the operation is carried out during
childhood of the subject, when the
skull is still soft and malleable. The
effect is to make the skull long, or
short and broad, according to the par
ticular method favored.
Nowadays, the head so disfgured is
regarded as an object of beauty, but
beauty was not the initiatory cause
of the practice. Indeed, the flattened
head was not originally deliberately
arranged result at all.
The custom dates back to the time
when the man-pack still wandered
from camping place to camping place.
During such tricks the head Of the
newborn babe must often have lolled
In dangerous manner, and, no doubt,
sometimes resulted in broken neck.
To prevent this it became customary
to secure the infants head by some
means during the trek. The flattened
head was an unlOOked-for product.
Time passed, man gave up his nomad-
ism and acquired settled habits, but
the fiattened head had become tribal
characteristic. and so was perpetu-
ated.
The method employed to flatten the
head varies with the district. In some
places the child's head is strapped
against the headboard of its cradle.
In other places the necessary pres
sure is applied by bandages. Some
tribes employ contrivance made up
Of two boards. By the Klemantans
of Borneo device Is used which fiat
tens the forehead, the object being
to give the face, as near as possible,
a half-mOon shape.
The device, known as Tadal, is Sc
cured firmly to the infants head when
it is month old, but the pressure is
applied only when the child sleeps.
Contrary to what one would expect,
this reformation does not appear to
have any injurious effects.
Many savage peoples render the
faces of their womenfolk hideous by
grotesquely disfiguring their lips. AS
with the artificial reformation of the
head, the operation is carried out dur.
ing childhood.
The girls lips are pierced, straws
being inserted in the holes. Next day
another straw is added, and, when the
holes have been sufficiently enlarged,
pieces of wood with the thickness of
a pencil are plugged in. This process
continues until eventually the holes
are capable Of containing large disks.
Filled thus, the lips at first project
horizontally from the face, but as the
disks grow in size, the facial muscles
become unable to support them, and
the lips droop.
In the Lake Tchad district Of CEN
trail Africa, the disk in the lower lip
eventually reaches the size of din
ner plate, the whole hanging like a
shield on the breast. The disk In the
upper lip attains the dimensions Of
saucer and droops similarly.

Surprised Mother

Kelvern Krause is a ten-year-old
boy who attends school. At parent
teacher association meeting the other
day the statement was made by a
speaker that at q test in some schools
70 per cent Of the pupils asserted they
would keep the money If a street car
conductor failed to relieve them Of
their fare.
When his mother arrived home from
attending this meeting she put the
question to him as to what he would
do If the street car conductor failed
to take his fare. He knew nothing of
what had been said at the meeting.
His reply was that he would give the
conductor his fare.
The mother said to him in q some
what surprised tone: "You would?
Why"
