Smuggling az Sport

To perverted feminine sporting in
stinct, rather than desire to save
money, is attributed the epidemic of
silk smuggling into England from
France. about which many amusing in
cidents have been related.
Women often tip two or three times
the amount of the duty to accomplices
who guarantee them success in getting
their silks through the customs agents,
according to the London Times. One
such man Is said to make Smuggling"
for women business. He gets the
silks through by the simple expedient
OF declaring them and paying the duty,
which amounts to less than half the
stipulated reward.
Many women also go to much
trouble, such as making themselves un-
comfortable with several similar gar
ments, to evade paying the duty on
articles which actually are not duti-
able.

Halt Sawdust Waste;
Make Plaster of II

Washington.-Saw is no longer
considered waste product. Its
many uses range from the manufac-
ture Of dolls to dynamite, according to
statement made by Axel Ell. Oxholm,
director of the national committee on
wood utilization, Department of Com
MERGE.
About 10 per cent of the average
sawlog represents sawdust produced
in converting the raw material into
lumber, Mr.. Oxholm states. Hereto.
fore this sawdust has been considered
as a waste product, but industry has
spent millions of dollars in developing
profitable uses for it. Sawdust should,
therefore, be termed "nonutilized
wood" and rot WASTE" because II has
important potential uses, the depart
ment contends.
The SO sawmills. operating in ILL.
nois are big producers of sawdust.
Formerly the United States imported
large quantities of porcelain dolls
from Europe, but this trade has now
been replaced by new doll indus
try, using wood flour instead Of por-
celain.
More than 5000 tons of wood flour
are used in the manufacture of limo
leum. 1t is also utilized in making
oatmeal wall paper, artificial wood
and other nodded products. Over 1000
tons of wood flour are used in the
manufacture of dynamite.
Although the United States pos
sesses a greater variety of raw ma.
terial for the manufacturing of wood
flour than any other country, II is
still importing from Europe over one
fifth of the total requirements.

SNAIL NO DELICACY
In OLD STONE AGE
Beloit Scientists Make New
Discoveries in Africa.

Beloft, Wis.-The nice people Of
Mechta, Africa, in the days before
history began, were shamefully back
ward about their diet. They haG
snals for breakfast, snails for lunch
con, snails for dinner But when II
came to the matter of personal ap
pearance the women, at least, were
not so slow. They used rouge and
powder In plentiful quantities-and
presumably for the same general pur-
pose of charm that prompts the
charmers of Chicago to use them, in
1927.
Such are the deductions of Alonzo
w. Pond of the Logan museum staff
of Beloit college, Beloit, Wis, from
discoveries made by himself and 9th
ers on the recent Logan museum ex-
| petition to Africa.
Ground Ochre for Rouge.
1.-THE art of enhancing human
beauty by the use of color seems to
be as old as man." he said. 1.-THE de-
posit of Mechta yielded primitive
rouge or face powder in the form
of red and yellow ochre. Flat stones
were found on which the colored
earth had been crushed to powder.
'The excavations gave us no direct
evidence that the fair ones of Aurig-
nacfan times painted their faces red
or yellow, but almost every modern
woman uses the material so fire.
quently that it's mere presence in
archaeological deposits causes the in
vestigator to assume that the peo-
pie either painted their faces or tat
tooed them with these brilliant
cOlors"
Regarding the diet, Mr.. Pond said:
''They ate snails-big snails, little
snailsex medium-sized snails, long
snails, short snails, broad snails, mar
row snails. They must have eaten
snails for breakfast, snails for lunch
con, snails for dinner. Probably they
had snail soup, snail hors d'ouvres,
snail for the fish course, even snails
for dessert.
''But just when one becomes con-
vinced," he added, "that snails were
their sole food, a pick uncovers the
leg bone of huge OK or the jaw
bone of some ruminant. Bone MARI
row must have been delicacy, for
all the bones were broken so that it
could easily be extracted"

great mound of small shells, ashes,
broken bones and hearthstones, $50
yards long and 100 yards wide, locat-
ed on high plateau about thirty
miles west of Constantine, Algeria.
There the Logan museum conducted
excavations last winter, which indi-
Gated, in Professor Ponds opinion,
that the mound was the camp site of
paleolithic people,. probably of the
-Aurignacian race, which also lived
in Europe some 10000 or $4,000 years
ago.
The material collected consisted of
worked flint and bone implements
and animal remains left from feasts.

Care of Rubber Plants

II you desire a good-looking rubber
plant you must give 1t good air. Keep
the soil moist but not soggy. The
watering depends upon the heat Of the
room. Usually every other day is suf-
fcient. A rubber plant will thrive
best In room that is light, but 1t
should not be kept in the hot sun.
Every two or three '7eeks when wa
tering add ammonia to the water,
using one teaspoonful ammonia to one
quart of water. This will keep the
plant from becoming wormy.
Occasionally wipe the leaves gently
with warm milk, using soft cloth.
This always cleanses the leaves and
acts as food for the plants.
