popular with EskimOs, both adult and

of famous hunters and possessors of

had not the curiosity to want to

had not the curiosity to want to
know!
When it is said of a man that he is
a good mixer it usually means that
his life is crammed with interests of
various sorts. Who wants to know
people. because he knows that within
them lies the secret of keeping life
quick with interest. He does not find
life drab, chiefly because he is not
drab. The same applies to the light
that lies in the eyes of the bookworm.
Strange thrills are his. strange reac-
tons to beauty. because he has had
the curiosity to go seeking them.
1t is not only to those destined to walk
high places or TO roam the world that
excitement of life can come. On the
contrary, if the drabness lies within
you, for those who see not, it is as
equally boring to roam the world as
it is to ride daily in the subway to-
ward your job.
If not, then you are one of those to-
be-envied persons who sees with joy
Gus, alert eyes the color, the shape,
the significance of every object on
the professors chart and it requires
no genius nor special equipment to
do so. Just a deliberate love of life
and will to live it for all 1t is worth
(and to such person it is worth a
great deaD and since we are all of us
occupied with the business of living
it, how joyful to be living it joy
fully!
There is great deal of bubbling
optimism which manifestS itself in
the so-called drab places of life; one
is inclined to think just as much, If
not more, than there is in the make
up of the synthetic kind of joys manu-
featured by the rich. Men digging
bitches look no more oppressed with
the heaviness of life than men sitting
in opera boxes. No one can fairly
blame his internal drabness upon ex-
ternals, at least if we are to judge
by the neutrality-suspicious. of human
reactions. The rich can be drab; the
poor can be drab and both can be
drab.
Dull days come more readily to
some than to others. You hear peO-
pie say they are never bored. They
cannot be drab inside. What they
find in life may make them suffer
as easily as it may bring them joy,
but the unhappy medium is boredom.
To be neither panied nor surprised:
delighted nor depressed with life be-
cause the interior is vast moor
gray-unlighted with interest or in
tellectual curiosity, is to be dead on
your feet.
Boredom is the emotion of vege-
table.

Lips and Eyes Tested
as Keys to Character

Oxford, England.-The theory that
lips and eyes are key TO vocation and
character, suggested by Professor Bett-
mann, the Heidelberg dermatologist,
was tested at a gathering at an Old
Students reunion at Oxford university.
Many men distinguished in different
walks of life were chosen for the test.
1t was found that while there was
some link between certain features and
character, the theory appeared correct
only in the generalized sense. but there
was one exception. The legal profess
sion, it was found, had one predomi-
mating facial feature-the thin lip.
Professor Bettman maintains that
deep thinkers have the thinnest lips.

The Better Business bureau is an

Cordova, Observation-Disclosures is a
new sport IN Alaska. Capt. Axel Oh

the oId-time Bark Montana ranch
have contracted to round up and
slaughter for the meat trade part
of the herd of wild cattle roaming
the wooded hills of Chirikof.
In 1891 bull and three cows were
shipped to Chirikof to form a dairy
herd for the Semidi fur farm. The
fur project failed and the cattle were
abandoned. A herd of several hundred
animals form the defendants of the
three bovines. They are wild and have
fought off wolves and bears. They
have survived drought flood and win

developed long curly hair. The old

Oil of 20 and 81 gravity, on the 9TH
er hand, was selling for 62 cents a
barrel.
So the independents found that by
boiling their high gravity Oil with
steam pipes, the lighter fractions, rep
resenting gasoline, escaped, with the
result that the gravity of the oil
dropped. And although the volume of
the fluid had been reduced slightly, 1t
still permitted gain of Is to 20 cents
a barrel in price.
The treatment, however, has result
ed in wastage of between 10000 and
$4,000 gallons of gasoline daily. Tank

Foolish Worry

To worry is merely to waste energy
on the unknown. Until you know what
tomorrow has in store for you, you
are wasting your time by worrying. 1t

thinking, some constructive planning
Worry is negative sort of thing. A
crisis needs something positive, and

time of trouble than despair. Hope at
least prepares US to be ready to greet
the unknown tomorrow with willing
