Odd Foods Favored in
Congo and Elsewhere

Koreans, like many Orientals, live
mostly on rice. They cook their
seaweed in Oil and serve 1t with
slices of red peppers. Kmsbee,
kind of sauerkraut, Is a favOrite
Korean dish. To the north, the ma
tives of Kamchatka relish the
tongues and the marrow of the
bones of reindeer, but the piece-de-
resistance is the meat of unborn
fawns. From the stomach Of the
reindeer the natives obtain their
ACKNOWLEDGMENT balls Of moss.
A delectable native dish is rein
deer sausage which has been sur
rounded by dough and dropped in
boiling water. On the lower end
Of the peninsula, where salmon are
plentiful, dishes of boiled fish eyes
are considered a delicacy.
Perhaps few people live as close
to nature as the pygmies Of the
Belgian Congo. Tender roots are
staples, but birds, small game, r0-
dents and caterpillars are not OBJ
jectionable. A dish Of white ants
is priced highly by these diminu-
tive people, while slice Of raw
elephant meat makes a feast.-Na-
tional Geographic Bulletin.

Arabic Language Makes
No Use of the Vowels

In Arabic vowels are not repre-
scented at all. The English word
catalogue" would be spelled "ctlg"
in Arabic characters. If the read
.er did not know the word, he could
recognize it only by the context.
Although the Roman alphabet
may not be ideally adapted to the
Turkish language, its practicable
ity is proved by the fact that both
the Hungarians and the Firms,
whose languages are closely re-
lated to Turkish, have used it for
generations.
Turkish written in Roman char
acters looks slightly like Italian.
1t has the advantage over English
and French in that it is completely
phonetic. There are no silent let
tiers and every letter always has
the same sound wherever it APP
pears.
The Persian language, which also
uses the Arabic alphabet, would
likewise be greatly benefited by a
change similar to that made in Tur-
key. The small republic Of Aver
baijan on the Caspian sea, one of
the Union of Soviet Republics, is al
ready using Roman letters, and it
is expected that the other Tartar
and Turcoman republics will follow
subtitle Living Age.

Sweden Noted for Its
Varieties of Dialects

Sweden has as many different di-
alects. as it has Notwithstanding
from the half-swallowed Danishlike
talk of Scantia to the high-pitched
sing-song speech Of Dalecarlia. But
although the dialects of the COM
try people are confusing, they use
the same words in most cases and
q short residence among the inhab-
ttants Is sufficient to bring glim-
mering of understanding, even to
the person acquainted only with
,Stockholmese.
There is one language, however,
which utterly defies comprehension
by anyone not brought up with it,
and strangely enough, 1t has found
its origin In the heart of Stock
holm, the largest city in the coun-
try. S0deramerisk, or "South
American" as it is called, is spoken
more or less as slang by people
living on the large island of "SOe-
der" which lies on the south side
OF Lake Maclaren and the Salt lake.
Some of the expressions are slang
taken from pure Swedish, an ex-
ample of which is the word "boena,"
meaning "bean" in Swedish and
"girl" in Soderamerisk. Most of
the words are variations of foreign
nouns. verbs and adjectives, which
have been brought home from doz-
ems of different countries by sailors.

Carpet-Making Industry

The first carpet making on large
scale was done in an establishment
founded by Henry Nv in France at
the Louvre. This was followed
shortly by one called "Savonnerie"
at Chaillat and one at Beauvais by
minister Colbert in 1864. In 1875
ingram carpets were made at Kid
derminster. The earl of Pembroke
established factory at Wilton in
1745. During period Of upheayal
hundreds of carpet weavers were
driven out of France. They took
refuge in Flanders and Holland and
there a large industry sprang up
and flourished. Brussels carpets
were introduced in England from
Flanders by John Broom in 1749.
The first carpets made in America
were made by hand looms. Eras-
tus Bigelow of Boston, Mass, per-
fected the first loom.

Dads Asked to Visit III"
and Students Sat. Nov. q
Annual Affair Has Been Set by
Committee on Day of the Wis
cOnsin Game

Minneapolis, Oct. % Nov. %,
when Minnesota and Wisconsin
wind up the Western Conference
football season, is the day selected
by the University of Minnesota as
the 1929 Dads Day, when fathers
of all the students in the institu
ton will be invited to visit the
campus.
That at least 80 per cent of
whatever misunderstanding may
occasionally arise between parents
and those who conduct the univer-
sity would be removed if the faith
ers and mothers were able to pay
the campus an actual visit now and
then is the opinion of the univer-
sity administration. On this ac-
count Mothers Day was established
five years ago, to be held in the
spring, followed by Dads Day, an
autumnal event. 1t was set in the
fall so that father, probably a fan,
might combine a football game
with his campus tour.
Visiting Dads will attend BAN
quet in the Minnesota Union at
6:15 following the game. They will
spend Saturday morning going
about with son or daughter, visit
| ing classes, meeting teachers, and
inspecting the fraternity or room
| ing house where their children live
One member of the paternal dele
CATION will speak at the dinner, as
will one or two representatives OF
| the University.

Vegetable Salt

Necessary and desired as salt is,
1t is forbidden those suffering from
high blood pressure, Bright's dis.
ease and dropsy. Victims can fore
go the ingestion of salt. But its
taste they crave. Chemists and phar-
macists have long sought to COM
pound a substance that tastes like
salt but is harmless in these dis
eases.
DR.. John Christian Krantz, Jr.,
chemist and pharmacist at Johns
Hopkins, announces that that lab
oratory of many benefcent drug
has created salt substitute,
which has proved palatable during
q years test. It Is called eka
salt, and is made from malic
acid, apple juice.-Time.

come forward with their reports on
the thickness of the corn husks,
the unusual amount of moss on the
north side of the trees, the birds
starting to the tropics earlier than
usual or the fur on members of the
animal world being heavier than
usual And these are the signs and
portents they use to back up their
claim that "it's going to be long,
hard winter.
We don't want to discourage
home-talent weather prognosticat-
ors around Sank Centre of which
there are a considerable number.
But they will have to do better than
this if they want to beat Uncle
Sans weather experts. These lat
ter gentlemen are already contend
ing that there is no reason to be-
i;eve the winter just ahead of us
will be any more severe than the
average winter-possiply not near
ly as severe as last winter. OF
course they are wise enough not to
commit themselves too freely, be-
cause no professional weather man
wants to be reminded a little later
on how far he missed it. But they
do say that up to this time there
is no Indication that we will have
as much snow or as low tempera-
lures as we had last winter, argu-
ing that it was usually severe, TAX
en- tie country over, and one like
| it comes only at intervals of abou,
20 years.
All of this is comforting, but it
still doesn't answer our question
and relieves our anxiety as to what
has happened to our own home-tal
ent weather sharks.

"The vegetarians have become SO
much interested in these values of
plant foods, that they have over
looked the necessity for meat, or at
least for eggs and milk. These dairy
products are good substitutes for
meat in many cases. A true vege-
tartan eats no milk or eggs, since
these are animal foods. A strictly
vegetable diet is not an adequate
for growth or even for full vigor of
most people. Too large an amount
of these foods often causes great
distress and sometimes genuine di-
sease in high tension Americans.
There are thousands of persons to-
day whose intestinal Innings are
too sensitive to the irritation of
raw fruit and vegetables. They
need foods which have been soft
ened by cooking. The proportion OF
vegetables and fruits to other less
stimulating foods must be careful
ly regulated"

Ancient Masuues

A masque was d species Of dra-
matte entertainment which reached
the highest popularity in England
in the reign of James l, but which
also was favorite diversion at
the courts of Henry VIII and Eliz-
abeth. The masque probably grew
out of the cummings" which are
heard of in England as early as
1877. Mosques were commonly
played before royalty and the nobil-
ity. Rev. Ronald Bayne, writing
of the masque, says, Essential
masque was the appeal of the mo-
ment to The eye, and the ear, the
blaze g. color and light, the mist
of perfumes, the succession of rap
idly changing scenes and tableaux
crowded with wonderful and beau
tiful figures"

Many People Connected
by Minnesota Pavement
Nearly Half of States Population
Joined Into One Community
by Concrete

That Minnesota pavements have
been built where they will serve
the most people is indicated by fig
ures in a State Highway bulletin
showing that million people, con-
shutting AZ per cent of the states
population, are now joined togeth-
er into one community by paved
highways.
With the pavements built this
summer, Minnesota now has about
1,150 miles of hard surfaced trunk
highways. About 200 miles are in
short disconnected stretches but
$50 miles are in one connected sys-
tenn. This system reaches from
Grand Rapids, Aurora, and Two
Harbors on the north, Brainerd and
Osakis in the northwest, Brownton
and Wayzata to the west, Still
water and Lakeland to the east,
and st. Peter, Cannon Falls, Aus
tin and point miles north of
Albert Lea to the south. The cities
and villages linked together by con-
tinuous pavement had a total pop
ulation of 935,815, by the 1920 CEN
sus. The population of unincorpo-
rated villages and farms within 4
mile of thes paved roads is esti-
mated at $4,000, making a total of
981 AS. With the growth of popu-
lation in nine years, it is safe to
say that the communities linked by
pavement hold considerably more
than million people.
While the entire 1880 paving pro-
gram has not been announced by
Commissioner c. M. Babcock, the
program already definitely an.
nounced will connect the paved
portion of T. H. No. 10 between
Litchfield and Willmar with the
main system, and will take in
cities like Albert Lea and Mankato
and a number of smaller towns
The cities and villages which will
be connected with the central paw.
ing system next year have popu
lation of 45,518, with an estimated
population of 1880 in unincorporat
ed villages and farm within a mile
of the proposed pavements.
1--WE have been trying to plac!
our pavements where traffic de
mands were greatest, as indicated
by population, traffic counts anc
road conditions, and the fact tina
a million people are now connected
with paved roads indicates that WI
are serving a large portion of thu
people with comparatively small
mileage of pavement" says Com
missioner c. M. Babcock.
1.-THE ideal to be aimed at is no
pavement everywhere, but all
weather roads everywhere. "Thi
can be accomplished with grave
roads where traffic is light ant
with oiled or tarred roads wher,
there is moderate traffic. Their,
are, however, more than thous
and miles of unpaved trunk high
way where traffic is already 81
heavy that paving is demanded
and we are trying to pave these a
rapidly as funds permit. AS thu
number and size of the vehicles in
lcreases, other routes will reach tn
point where gravel is inadequat
and will have to be considered il
planning the paving program"

Fishes Odd Eye.

Many blind creatures of the deep
sea are provided with hairlike ap-
pendages of highly sensitive ma
ture, by means of which they ap-
parently feel their way about.
The light that does exist In
depths below 500 fathoms is not
the light of day but a phos-
Sphorescence or luminosity such
as one sees at the surface occasion
ally.
Some of these creatures have lu-
minous globules on various parts
Of their bodies, which enable them
to go through the deep waters much
like motor car on land, shedding
light before them on their path.

Sees Mankind Without
Either Teeth or Chin

That mankind will not need to
worry much longer about getting
toothache or splitting remnants Of
breakfast on its chin is the con-
clusion Of a British student of
dental architecture, DR.. G. B. Pal
mer.
Soon men will have, he believes.
neither teeth nor chin for any purs
pose at all. Toothless and chin
less our descendants will roam Che
world, unless something forces q
radical change in human food. Ages
ago men and other animals needed
really to work their jaws In order
to eat.
Cooking had not reduced the ma
jOrity of foods to a soft pulp,
knives and forks had not been in
vented to relieve the teeth Of their
primeval duty to tear off whatever
was to be eaten.
That is why nearly all the AMI
mails of mans class developed out.
ward pointing front teeth that can
bite or gnaw bits Of meat or bark
or succulent root. That is the rea-
son, too, for the sharp-pointed
"canine" teeth on either side Of the
front ones-spearlike, implements
to transfix the selected morsel while
it is being gnawed loose.
Nowadays none Of these duties
are necessary. Cooking and table
manners have displaced them. Ma
ture is always economical, Doctor
Palmer believes, and accordingly
she is gradually reducing the length
of the human chin, the protrusion
of the front teeth and the strength
and number of the teeth themselves.
In a few hundred years table man
ners are apt to leave everybody
chinless and almost jawless.-E. e.
