Esst lna;ans H4ppy
Under Feminist Rule

Among the Khaeis, q hill tribe in
Assam, northeastern India, the tna-
triarchIal system Is still in force.
Property belongs to the women |;
anything man earns before mar
riage belongs to his mother, and
after marriage to his wife.
The men are extremely jolly, says
Basil Allen, late Of the Indian civil
service; the women, despite their
privileged positions have lost none
of their charm, and are no more
logical or masculine than their sis
ters in less feminist countries. They
wear multitude Of clothes. unlike
their neighbOrs. the Garos. who
wear extraordinarily little. A WON.
ans dress is about twelve inches
long, a mans Is even less. Mr.. AL
len says that persons who are
shocked at the scantiness Of mod
ern female dress should note that
in the Assam hills '"the more
clothes you wear the naughtier ycu
are"
Several thousands of Assam hill
men went to. France in labor corps.
and those who returned told their
fellows something Of the war-"and
what q curious war 1t was" How
linen would be gathered together
and q box would arrive. and when
the box was opened men died." !"
That was the Mikir's description OF
a bursting shell.

Use Sails of Windn1ilk
to Disseminate NelUs

Holland possesses over 10000
windnillS.
TO most observers, says writer
in the Wide World Magazine, they
nil look very, much alike, but the
"SGt" of the sails, when the arms
are at rest, is capable OF consider
able variation, and the rescureeful
millers take advantage Of these diff
ferent settings In order TO convey
interesting items of news to the
countryside. Using a well-under-
stood code of signals, they actually
make their windmills "taIk."
The idea is extremely ancient; 1t
Is even said that semaphOre sig.
mailing started from this source.
When there is wedding in
Dutch miller's family he sets the
sails at certain angle. and often
decks the arms with flags and
streamerS, so that all neighbers
within eye-range can learn of the
happy event.
Other variations of angle pro-
claim the birth of baby boy or
girl, request for the services of a
millwright, and dozen other little
messages. II the miller sets his
mill sails In the form of a cross
there is sadness in the family, for
this denotes death.

Cotton Mather Gaze
Name to Yale College

Cotton Mather would willingly
have become president Of his alma
mater, Harvard, succeeding his IA
ther, but though there were oppor-
tunities, he never was elected,
writes William e. Barton In the
Dearborn Independent. He became
dissatisfied with Harvard, and on
January /, It'll, he wrote In his
diary:
'What shall l do for the welfare
Of the college at New Haven? I
am inclined to write unto wealthy
East India merchantmen at London,
who may be disposed, on several &C.
counts, to do something for that So
ciety and colony"
Accordingly he wrote to Elihu
Yale, rich and childless man, say
ing:
IF what is forming at New Ha.
ven might bear the name OF Yale
college, 1t would be better than q
name Of sons and daughters. And
your muniflcence might easily OBJ
tain for you such cOmmemora-
ton"
The money came, and the name
was given to the college by Mather
and 1t remains.

Old and Ne,p Moon

frequently, during the phase of
the moon popularity called new, the
dim form of the full moon can be
seen within the crescent of the
new moon. This is known as earth
shine and is a faint light visible on
the part Of the moon not directly
illuminated by the sun. 1t is due to
sunlight reflected to the moon by
the earth and is most conspicuous
when the part Of the moons disk H.
Illuminated directly by the sun Is
smallest. The new moon Is first
visible as thin crescent. Then,
according to an old adage, "the old
moon can be seen sitting in the
lap or arms OF the new" In Olden

Roots anchor the trees to the

says the American Tree associa-

not stand up, and without roots
trees would starve, for they supply
water and food to the stem

Double Observance to Be
Held Monday; Mail Line

indianapolis will have a part in
double aviation celebration next
Monday-the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the first airplane fight by
Orville Wright at Kitty Hawk, N.
c., and the first anniversary Of the
Cincinnati Indianapolis Chicago
air mail route.
Plans are being arranged by the
Enbry- Riddle Company, Cincinnati,
air mail contractors, and PostmaS-
ter Robert H. Bryson for obserV-
ance of the double anniversary.
Wilbur and Orville Wright, who
built the plane, tossed coin for
the honor of making the first flight.
Wilbur won, but the plane, after
rising a few feet, stalled. 1t was
Orville's turn next and he kept the
plane up twelve seconds, covering
100 feet of ground.
Looked Like Box Kite
The plane had the appearance of
a large, wide box kite with struts
supporting vertical and horizontal
rudders at the rear. The engine was
at one side of the pilots seat, to
prevent it falling on him in case of
an accident.
Since that epochal occasion, avia-
ton has progressed far. Today air.
planes are being manufactured that
will rise to nearly 10000 feet. Planes
have stayed in the air more than
sixty-flve hours, travelled 4, 1855 miles
without halt, split the air at 319
miles an hour, crossed North Amer
lea from the Pacific to the Atlantic
in eighteen hours and forty-eight
minutes, and from Atlantic to Pa
cific in twenty-four hours and fifty
one minutes, traversed the Atlantic
and flown to the north pole.
The last two years has witnessed
more real progress in aviation than
the twenty-three preceding years.
Mail Spurs Flying
One of the greatest factors in
advance of aviation has been the
poStoff1ce departments establish
ment of air mail routes.
Bob Shank, president of Hoosier
airport here, and the oldest living
air mail pilot, was one of the four
pilots on the first route. The other
three have died.
In 1920 a transcontinental mail
route was completed, cutting twen-
ty-four hours from the fastest train
time, eighty-Seven hours.
Night flying was inaugurated in
1928, although it was not until July
l, 1924, that regular operation of
through day and night service was
begun. A year later overnight SER
vice between Chicago and New York
was started.
The air mail service was turned
over to private contractors in 1927
and since that time total of twen-
ty-seven routes has been placed in
operation, covering a total of 1879
miles, of which 5000 miles is lighted
for night flying. Another 5000
miles is scheduled.
