Forms of Salutation
That Seem Peculiar

II some one should approach you
and say, How do you perspire2" or
ask you II you have eaten your rice,
don't be offended. These are the words
by which the Egyptians and Chinese
say "How do you do?" when they meet
an acquaintance.
All races have their own peculiar
forms OF salutatlon. On islands near
the Philippines natives grasp the foot
Of the person they wish to greet and
gently rub their faces with 1t. South
Sea islanders rub noses and exchange
gifts, while the Moors kiss each others
shoulders.
"How Is your strength? was the
greeting In ancient Rome, where every
man was warrior The Greeks, with
other things than war on their minds,
said, "What business are you engaged
in?"
The Frenchman's 81 am charmed
and enchanted to meet monsieur" Is
difficult to improve upon. How do
you find yourself?" Is the Germans
greeting, and when a guest rises from
table they express the hope that he has
had hearty meal and that he will
find himself the better for the cheer of
the repast.

Discordont Note

The bureau of standards says that
Helmholtz' explanation of why dis
cOrdant musical note will offend the
ear Is as follows: The essence OF dis.
SOnance consists merely in very rapid
beats or changes In intensity OF the
sound. Two c0nsOnant tones flow on
quietly side by side In an undIsturbed
stream; dlssonant tones cut each other
up Into separate pulses. These pulses
may be too rapid for the ear to sepa
rate, but their existence may be
demonstrated. The nerves Of hearing
feel these rapid beats as rough and
unpleasant because every Intermittent
excitement OF any nervous apparatus
affects us more powerfully than one
that lasts unaltered.

Try This for Amusement

Here is little problem to try when
you are lonesome. 1t Is more than
odd and interesting. Set down these
fgures-1 2 4 5 6 8, leaving out
s. Choose one of these figures and
multiply II by 8. Then multiply
12345679 by the result. TO your sur
prise the final result will be made Of
nothing but the first figure chosen.
For example, suppose you choose fg.
ure 8. Multiplying by gives ~.
Multiplying l234jG79 by A. gives
55555J555 And no matter which
figure Is chosen to begin with the
final result will always contain o
duplicates. Pathfinder Magazine.

Beerbohm's "Zulelka DobsOn." Else.
where Lord Castlerose wrote: at Is

One Of the most striking phenomena
Of the last outbreak OF the central
crater OF Mount Etna was the forma.
tlon Of an "eruptlye pine" or "clOud.

famous example OF these yOlvanIc

closed contact with those who are making the
Los Fresnos tract one Of the most productive
in the Valley.
What this highway means to Los Fres-
nos and Brownsville is not difficult to vision.
1t virtually assures rapid development of a
highly fertile and extensive acreage, the i'm
provement Of marketing conditions, greater
wealth production; but above all it binds to-
gether two communities which have much in
common and which, through cooperation, can
advance their mutual interests.
The Brownsville Hospitality Club takes
advantage of this occasion to congratulate
Los Fresnos on its highways and the develop
ment for which those highways will be the
basis. Concrete paving has reduced the dis

lance between Los Fresnos and Brownsville
from over two hours through sticky mud to
less than thirty minutes over concrete, and
Los Fresnos residents, who formerly were
practically isolated from Brownsville, are now
its closest neighbors.
The Brownsville Hospitality Club sim
cerely hopes the people Of Los Fresnos will
make full use of the lS-foot ribbon OF con-
crete which now connects the two commun-
tiles. They are assured a cordial welcome by
every business interest Of the city; and they
also have the assurance that Brownsville will
always be found ready to cooperate with them
in the solution of their community problems
or to aid in any p ject designed to accelerate
development or improve conditions.

A LINK OF concrete, los miles in length,
n now binds Los Fresnos and the city Of
Brownsville.
The opening of the Paroles Line pave
ment from Brownsville to Los Fresnos marks
the naturalization of a vision which for years
has been the objective Of the farmers and re
sidents Of the Los Fresnos tract and the bust
ness interests of Brownsville.
The barrieSf inadequate roads, a barrier
which during several months of the year was
practically insurmountable, has always exist
ed between the people Of Los Fresnos and
those OF Brownsville. Through the coopera-
ton of both communities the concrete pave
ment has been constructed and this barrier
eliminated, and Brownsville welcomes this

more compact citizenship will mean . better acquainted
and better informed citizenship, capable Of doing more
for the states advancement and for the promotion Of
individual prosperity.
The schools will become more accessible to rural
children; transportation Of farm commodities will be
expedited and made less expensive to the farmers;
dairying and allied farm industries will profit by mod
ern highways. The ADJUSTMENTS and advantages Of
urban centers will become available TO dwellers in rural
districts who are now kept at home by poor roads.
With the completion Of Iowas primary road system.
probably before it is completed, some progress will
have been made in the construction Of lateral roads.
joining the less ~populous communities with those
served BY the main highways.
Precisely the same sort Of road problem is faced by
the people Of Texas that the people Of Iowa will solve
in large measure by their 500, 100000 road bond issue.
Chairman Sterling of the Texas highway commission
has proposed a plan that will do more for Texas than
the s1oo.ooO,ooo bond issue will do for Iowa.
The Sterling plan, calling for a statewide road bond
issue of s3o0I0oO,00o, or whereabouts. to be retired over
a period of 80 years, will give Texas. a much larger
state than Iowa, a completed system Of main highways
in less than ten years, and will provide the counties
with funds, through the provision for returning money
contributed to the cost of state roads, which will enable
the counties to improve the lateral highways, Iowa has
set a good example for Texas to follow.

Republicans in Control

49, ueiuge OF votes which elected Herbert Hoover
presidency also strengthened the bulwarks Of
p1Oncan party in all parts of the United States.
4 VIII have a clear majority in both houses %
larry out his policies. and has one distinct advartay.
o'onuge does not possess-a united party.
= erection gave the republicans a majority Of fif-
: q tne senate. without taking into account the seat
"hham ;. Ware Of Pennsylvania, who has never
Deen accepted. With the results in three congress
IONA districts not definitely settled. the election 50
greatly increased the republican strength in the house
tnat they will have a plurality Of lo2 over the demo-
Gratis in the Seventy first congress, which comes inf,
existence on March 4.
Only twice since 1855 has any political party had a
greater numerical representation in the house Of rep
resentatives-once in the Sixty-third congress, when
the democrats had a maximum of 2eo members, and
again in the Sixty-seventh congress when the republi-
cans had a maximum of 300 out Of the total member
ship Of ass.
The political complexion of the present senate is
such that ~Shipstead, the farmer-laborite Of Minnesota,
holds che balance Of power whenever he chooses to vote
with the democrats against the republican lineup. The
roll now Is a. republicans. rs democrats and one farm
er-laborite.
The Seventy-first congress will consist Of 2e7 re-
publicans, 164 democrats and / farmer-laborite. OF
this number seven are women. The negro race will be
represented for the first time in a generation, Oscar De
Priest, Chicago negro republican, having been elected
to succeed Martin B. Madden, who died in April.
SO far as the old progressive bloc is concerned. most
Of the members have been returned, but are in a very
ehastened mood. Practically all members Of the bloc
supported Hoover in the campaign, and endorsed the
policies he outlined. Whether they will remain loyal
to the party leader or oppose him as they did Tart
Harding and Coolidge, remains to be seen. However,
owing to the democratic losses, any opposition from
progressive sources will not prove serious to the
Hoover program.
when Mr.. Hoover assumes the duties OF enief eS-
ecutive on March 4. he will have. so far as pohticai
conditions are concerned, fewer problems to solve than
any president in American history. Aside from the
farm relief and agricultural problems praencany =
changes have been advocated, the policy Of the Hoover
t.,d.r, beins 10 maintain the status quo SO far as
possible.
