AS matters now stand, officers and

Home Life in Tibet

In Tibet religion dominates the life
Of the people as nowhere else Oh earth.
yet weddings are without benefit Ut
clergy. Marriage is not a hoy sacra-
ment, writes Harrison FOrman, In Cos
mopolitan. In this strange land exist,
side by side, more kinds Of marriage
than anywhere else-aDd fewer d.
vorces. The Tibetan woman may d.
vorce her husband, or husbands. mere
~ by rejoiniDg her family, which will
welcome her gladIy-and she will have
attained higher marriage value; ana
yet few Tibetan women walk out.
Ostensibly. the Tibetan man is domi-
nant; a swashbuckling figure, armeo
with sword, rife and spear; journey
ing far, for festivals, robbery, hunting
and trading. Woman keeps the family
clothed, the Iarder filed and the home
ores burning-in a yak-hair tent.

Rocky Mountains Did Not
Exist AGES and Ages Az,

Biologists say that coo, 900. 900 years
ago there were no Rocky mountains.
Rather, says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Record, huge and pacific sea
stretched southwark from the Arctic
ocean across this now richer terri
tory and perhaps Joined another long
bay advancing from Arizona.
Then the West began to rise. What
was once the floor Of seas became.
low plains and swamps. Armored d.
nosaurs provided with queer beaks and
horns wandered over all those swamps.
grubbing for roots and eating leaves
which looked like palms. Other d.
cousins.
Then terrific earthquakes began.
Swamps shook and became hills;
hills were bent and tossed into noun
tain ranges. In the end they stood
as two mountain ranges where there
once were muddy bays and swamps.
Much later glaciers appeared. These
began as snow fields among the peaks.
Then the snow frOze into ice, and
began to creep dOwnhill. AS it moved
it tore off blocks of rock. using them
as planes and chisels to dig valleys
deeper and sleeper cliffs. At last,
Joining in huge ice streams, they
carved deep canyons through the
ranges and thus made their way to
the plains.
Where two canyons were dug close
together they left steep walls Of rock.
But they often cut through these
walls, leaving sharp triangular noun
tains.
Visitors to Glacier National park
may trace these records Of the past.
The color Of the rock formations tells
the story Of geologic change.
The buff beds tell Of time dis
turbed by many storms. The green
ones mean shallower waters, with
periods when great mud flats lay
bare and steaming in the sun. Red
rocks mean ever greater shoals, per-
haps with periods when the sea dis
appeared and streams flooded what
once were bays.

Music in the u. S. Army
Started With First War

! The first musicians used in the
F., American army were the fifers and
drummers Of the Revolutionary war,
according to writer in the United
States Army Recruiting News. Led
by the fifer-majOr and the drum
mer-majOr, they furnished martial mu-
sic for all military ceremonies. The
drummers also sounded the various
military calls" which now are per-
formed by buglers.
The earliest available record Of the
forming Of military bands of music
may be found i'm the Laws for the
Regulation and Government of the Mi
litia Of the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts," which reads: Passed by
Act of Congress. May 8, 1892, and
amended by Act Of March 2, 1903. Sec
ton IA. Be 1t further enacted that
each brigadier general or command
ing officer Of brigade be authorized, by
ganize band Of music in each brigade
and when so raised to issue warrants
to them accordingly"
Shortly thereafter the West Point
Military academy band was organized.
Louis c. Elson, the historian, tells US
that: EARLY In the Nineteenth CEN
fury the West Point band was held to
be the best in the county," 1t con-
sisted of five clarinets, two flutes. two
French horns, one bassoon, one trump
ct, one trombone, one bugle and one
drum fourteen in ALL. The famous
United States Marine band came into
being also at the beginning Of the
Nineteenth century and boosted an in
strumentation of two oboes, two clari-
nets, two French horns, one bassoon
and one drum.

one Of the most ancient Of Ceylonese
customs, and the Oldest harvest
thanksgiving ceremony in the Middle
East. Elephants and villagers partici-
pate. The ceremony is known as
"Aluth-Sal-Mangalla." 1t begins with
a procession to the temple, and then
proceeds to the paddy (rice) fields at
tached to the temple, where the high
priest reaps a small quantity Of paddy.
This is heaped on the leading ele-
plant, and the procession starts back
again to the temple. where the priests
thresh the grains. The rice Is then
boiled and offered to Buddha. I'm
mediately afterwards the villagers be-
s;n the rice harvest.
