is a small skull cap, usually made
OF white cloth.
Orange and yellow are the colors
apparently favored BY the Nosairi
women. They like the men, wear
voluminous trousers, over which is
long robe gathered at the waist
with girdIe. They also usually
affect a little brocaded waistcoat,
and for hat use a hard, circular
cap around which they bind a
colored veil so that the ends hang
down their backs with their long
pIaits of black hair.
I have said that among the No
sairis the men were the philoso-

the only ones to whom the strange

incidentally, the Nosairis are pecu.

There are no churches, no

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning.

HWsHE villages Of the Nosairis,
to which you win remember.
! introduced you in my last article
as distant tribe of Syrian hill
folk, are primitive to the ex-
IRENE. The houses are built with
low doorways and no windows,
for in the Winter 1t becomes very
cold in these mountains. even
though they be about the same
latitude as North Carolina.
The Summers are rot, however,
and these mud and stone houses
become overhot and filled with
persistent fleas, which manage to
make sleep Impossible for anyone
-eyen a natiye-who ventures
within. So it is necessary for the
Nosairis to have their Summer
homes" These are brushwood huts
perched precariously on four poles
and usually situated alongside the:
''main house. The doorway is
reached by a rough ladder and is
crested by two small windows,
their edges finished in mud. Too
small to permit much ventilation.
these windows seem to be useless.
However. they are the doors by
which the spirits may enter and
leave the houses.

Every dream embodies an I'm.

BY the method OF the free

There are scientists who do not

theories of the dream. Munster
berg and Jung are associated
with the free association method
and Freud with the wish-fuIfill-

Often it is necessary to have
another, a psychologist, assist in
the Interpretation. But it. is aston

truth OF the Interpretation when
1t worked out.
The reason, you see, we do not
always recall our dreams is be-
cause the mind, through the
mechanism Of forgetting, is trying
to spare us from knowing these

Does President Coolidge Know
the Truth AS to Retirement?

lpkksIDENT COOLIDGE balks at Iberalzng the retire

for one Of two reasons possibly both:
That the liberalization win cost the Government some
money;
That old and loyal employees are already weii cared for
and deserve no better treatment than they getting
Because Mr. Coolidge apparently puts economy ahead Of all
other considerations let analyze the actual facts
to the Government in retirement operations:
Until the last session Of Congress the Government HAD
NOT SPENT CENT il annuity payments except in the
small cost Of maintaining division the Pension Bureau to
handle the retirement fund
Employees Of the United States through forcbls deduc
tons from their salaries have not only paid ALL retirement
annuies but these deductions have piled up in the Pension
Bureau to hinge extent

total Of over s6OOOOoOOO which win be substantially $500
100000 over and above a appropriations the Government
adds 70 this fund, il i continues TO sd TO It.
All preliminary estimates Of actuaries at the time the orc

deductions from employees concerned and as cost
to the Government concerned.
The pabls truth presented that under existing law the
average annual annuity paid to faithful men and women who
served the Government most Of their lives and were retired
with just few years ahead Of them is $7s3so the
maximum annuity being $1,000
The amended law which the President does not like and
which he alone prevented going through Congress at the last
session. would raise the maximum annuity to $1,000 year
The annuity would be raised to about $500 year

THE UNFIT DRIVERS

In recommending that the law
concerning the licensing OF autouao-
bile drivers be strengthened and
made more difficult for unfit drivr
ers to possess the right to drive,
Governor Trumbull plesses that s5
per cent of drivers who believe in
sanity and caution in taking their
spins. The. other five per cent will
look upon the proposal with dis
favor.
The matter has been brought Up
before. but never SO forcefully or
from as high a source. When the
governor takes cegnizance Of a stu
alton OF this nature 1t II high time
the Legislature acted in conformity
with the suggestions thus made.
Authorities everywhere seem to
agree that 1t is only five per cent OF
drivers who habitually endanger the
highways. The state, from which
flows the privilege OF operating q
car, is confronted with the duty OF
seeing more effectually that only
responsible persons are allowed IA
use its highways with the modern
juggernauts.
