 Amogot:-a decoction of this root powdered, was drank morn and evening, in veneriel diseases. When sore throats were superim- posed in addition to this disease, patients lasted whole day and applied poultices at night. Amogot and Kuyuhat grow on level beaches, near Karluk and Seven Mile Beach, Kodiak Island.
 Shulyanak:-This urrative grass also grows near Karluk. It's roots resemble the decoction sold In our stores d8O4). This was decocted in a closed vessel and is still used in venereal diseases; a small drink of this taken morning and evening, and the root of the wild burnet tmzjulingok) is chew and the saliva is swallowed, al- though bitter and caustic.

 As a general custom, in all sickness strict diet is observed; even among children, when sores of any nature were observed, they voluntarily abstained from greasy foods.
 Whenever an Aleut dies, all relatives and acquaintances are called, excepting younger children, and all surround the deceased and weep, saying in case of a man; that he would not hunt any more, give grushkas, eat talk usha or whalemeat, or wage war, etc. In case Of woman, that she would not wear nice parkas, beautiful amber, suklis, beads, dance at igrushkas, sew bidarcas, eat whale meat, sarana or ber- ries in seal oil, (morosha, glas- nika, or malina, considered deli cacles) or comfort a husband.

Remarkable Falls of
Meteorites on Record

The fact of solid bodies falling
from outer space was not accepted
by scientists until after the French
PHYSICIST, Blot, published his de-
tailed report of a marvellous fall or
about 1000 stones, which took place
at rAigle, in France, April 26, 1903.
The largest unbroken stone pre-
served in museum, the National
History museum at Vienna, is one
weighing 645 pounds, which fell
near Knyahinka, CzechoslOvakia. 1t
is said to have made hole in the
ground II feet deep. This was the
largest stone of a shower of about
a thousand that fell on June 9. 1866.
Other very remarkable occur
rences are recorded for Pultusk,
Poland, on January 80, 1869, when
some 100000 fell; Noes, Transyl-
vania, where 5000 fell on February
8, 1882, and at. Hessle, Sweden,
where 500 fell on January /, 1869.
The United States comes in for
its share of meteOrites, too. The
largest mass known was a 1,20O-
pound stone found in fragments at
Long Island, Kan. Near Home
stead, Iowa, a hundred were found
on February u. 1879, and near HOl-
brook, Ariz., 14.0O0 were found on
July 10, 1912. In this shower, thou
sands of them were very small.
some not much larger than grape
seeds, but each one was covered
with the characteristic thin black
fused crust.

"City of Spires"

There are so many fine spires
and towers on the churches and
palaces in Copenhagen that it has
been described as the "City of
Spires" Although it is an ancient
city, Copenhagen is now modern in
appearance. The earlier houses
built of wood were destroyed by
fire in the Eighteenth century and
have been replaced with brick and
stone buildings. Copenhagen is
noted for its beautiful parks and
gardens, among which the most IA
nous are the Tivoli gardens, laid
out in 1913. At night they are
lighted with thousands of fairy
lights and the theaters, restaurants,
concert and dance halls in it offer
countless attractions. Indeed, one
could easily call it "Denmark's
Fairyland."

Women and Hats

The subject of women and their
hats is one that apparently never
will be cleared up to mere man.
my wife," said a weu-dressed at
torney, must have a hat complex.
She calls me at the office and ex-
claims over a hat. It's gorgeous.
I want it so much. You don't care
if I get it, do you?' she asks, and
weakening, l give in. That night
right when l expect to see her in
fine spirits because of the gorgeous
hat, she IS depressed. Inquiry re-
veals that on the way home she
decided it wasn't the hat for her.
She won't take it back and she
won't wear it. I'll bet there are 25
hats Of hers in our house this min
ute, and to hear her talk she hasn't
a hat to her name. 1 can't under
stand it."-Detroit News.

Cure for the "BIues"

If an attack of the blues has
come upon you, try Emerson for a
good nightcap. He will lead you
into thoughts so far beyond your
petty self that you will forget that
such a malady ever existed. If he
grows too ethereal, the book will
drop of its own weight and sleep
will seize you wholly. 1t may not
be complimentary to an author to
list his books as sleep-producing

as to suggest the best ten books to
those whose tastes are as far apart
as the poles. But one could men

CHIEF ENGINEER w. w. MACK
BACKS COWS ECONOMY PLAN
FaVOrs Extending Dual Highway
and Thinks Cut in Auto Licenses
Might Hamper Construction

Numerous important recommen-
dations are made in the annual re-
port of Chief Engineer w. W.Mack
of the State Highway Department
to Governor G. Douglas Buck and
the other members of the commits
sion. Mr.. Mack sounds a warning
however, on reducing the tax on
gasoline and other receipts from
automobiles on the ground that if
this was done the department
might not be self-supporting as at
present. He points out that con-
siderable number of roads are yet
to be improved. Mr.. Mack favors
the extension of the dual highway
as rapidly as possible. Among the
projects recommended by Highway
Engineer Mack are the construc-
ton of sidewalks along roads ad-
jacent to cities and towns, and he
particularly stresses the need of
such a Sidewalk from Wilmington
to Farnhurst. Mr.. Mack empha
sizes that the state Highway De-
partment, in connection with Gov
ernor Bucks debt-reduction pro-
gram of retiring highway bonds,
has been conducted successfully on
a "pay-as-you-go" policy.

AS we were getting ready to pull
out of Lexington the other day,
traffic cop, who was grinning from
ear to ear, stopped to tell us what
it was all about. He said a car
bearing a Michigan license pulled
up to the curb and the woman driv-
er hailed him. She wanted to know
about all the historic and interest
ing spots around the Blue Grass
city. He told her where they
were and how to reach them, and
then she said:

"Indestructible" Union

The phrase describing the United
States as an "indestructible union
of indestructible states was used
by Chief Justice Chase in an opin-
ion dealing with the secession of
Texas. Texas VS.. White" was the
case and it hinged on the question
as to whether or not Texas. by
adopting an ordinance of secession,
had ceased to be state of the
Union. The court decided that the
ordinance was unconstitutional and
that Texas had therefore never
been out of the Union.-Pathfinde

Sports on City Roofs

The roofs of New York's tall
buildings are often used for occu-
patiOns more strenuous than feed
ing pigeons. At noon hours a man
clad in track suit appears and
spends an active half hour in
shadow boxing. Another comes up
armed with a golf club and ball,
not for any midget game, either.
Teeing up, he whangs the ball with
full force up against a wall, with
a companion usually criticizing his
stance. Only a terrific slice or
pull" can end the game by sending
the ball flying into the street.

Praises Former Members

Mr.. Mack lauds the services to
the State of General Coleman du-
Pont, Joseph H.Holland and Josiah
Marvel, all of whom were original
members of the State Highway
Commission, who died during the
year. Mr.. Mack lauds not only
the great gift by General DUPONT
of the State-long highway to Del
aware, but also the vision of Cen
eral dupont in foreseeing 20 years
ago the highway needs of Della
ware by providing for an adequate
right of way and bypassing of

To Preserve Old Prints

Since Old prints of flowers. birds
and personages are now so popular
for framing, it is also worth while
ID take suitable modern pictures or
prints, perhaps from magazines,
and antique them with light coat
ing of liquid wax. This treatment
will give them a mellow, old tone
ard Mill preserve them. The pic
tnres should be pinned firmly to a
fiat surface before the wax is APP
rlied. Simply framed, they will
look charming on the walls of a
room.
