The making of rag rugs has In.
terested needleworkers for hundreds
Of years. One very good reason for
this is that rugs are practical and
wanted in every home. The larger
the rug the harder the work; the
weight increases as the work pro-
crosses. Making a rug Of motifs and
then assembling takes the hard labor
out Of rug making and the work be-
comes interesting. Work these motifs
in spare time at home or elsewhere
and, when all are finished, assemble.
Folder No. 532 contains a lot of
information about making the hexa-
gon motif in various sizes in hexagon
shaped rugs and in various color
combinations. Hexagon motifs are
crocheted In any size and color
scheme according to your own idea.
Amount of material and all the
stitches are given and other hints
Of value to rug makers. A new kind
of chart for selecting your colors
gives you an opportunity to see what
your rug looks like before you go
ahead with the work. You can get
some wonderful ideas from this folder

Difference in Monkey,
Human Hands and Feet

Though we are scarcely ever aware
Of it, our thumbs are very important
to the usefulness of our hands. And
there is no surer way of being con-
WINGED of this than to go to some zoo
and watch the hands and feet of mon
keys, asserts a writer In the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The interesting thing about the hui
man thumb is that it Is faced toward
the other fingers and can meet each
them, tip to tip. 1t gives our hands a
decided advantage, for instance, over
the paws of animals, in nearly all of
which the thumb-claw is no more use
full than our own big toes are.
But the feet of monkeys are unique
among animals. The monkeys big toe
is placed as conveniently as our own
thumbs. And some monkeys have
handy thumbs as well as convenient,
big, thumb-like toes. They thus have,
practically speaking, four hands with
which to grasp the boughs of trees.
American monkeys differ from their
African relatives In several ways.
They have "a teeth instead of 20.
They have no cheek pouches for stor-
ing food. They usually have long and
useful tails, whereas some of the Old
world monkeys are without tails. And
they are tanner and more playful than
their African cousins.
The tails of African monkeys are
of little use in swinging from tree to
tree, but the tail of the American mon
key is as good as another arm would
be, or better.

fully. "Is that final?" he said.

When to Stand
and When to Sit
Good Form and Etiquette
Regulates Amenities
of Social Life.

To know when to stand and when
to sit down is something that enters
into the amenities of social life.
There is an etiquette about it which
extends farther. and becomes a mat
ter Of patriotic expression, and of
the courtesies of concert halls. The
correct practice of these seeming
trifies is an evidence of good breed
ing, and so becomes important.
There are times'when boys and girls,
and men and women all follow the
same customs in these observances.
Also there are times when boys and
men follow one set of rules, while
adult women follow another.
In school children are taught to
stand when the flag is saluted, and
this practice continues throughout
life. They are also taught to stand
when the national anthem is sung
and when they hear it sung. These
are patriotic observances. The pu-
pills would be reprimanded If care
less about these rules. When travel
ing in foreign countries the same
rule holds. Each country expects its
citizens to show this respect to the
emblem and the voice of the native
land as thus expressed.
One of the immediate evidences of
good breeding is standing of men in
the presence of women. They remain
standing until all the women in the
room are seated. Boys are instructed
either at home or the best boys
schools that Immediately a woman
enters, whether young or old, to
spring to their feet. When they are
older they continue to rise, but by
that time they have acquired an easy
and accustomed manner, rising and
seating themselves unobtrusively, SO

Since boys and men remain stand.

HERITAGE FROM OLD DAYS

The old traditions of the sea pre-
vail. Meal time is not a conversa-
tional tea. At the captains table 1t
is not proper even to talk unless the
Old Man speaks first. The mate al
ways removes his cap and knocks be-
fore entering the masters quarters.
If standing to windward on the
poop when the captain comes on
deck the mate promptly moves 10
leeward, so the Old Man will get
the breeze uncontaminated. Laugh
IL you will, but the hand of
schooner captain is iron and the old
niceties still prevail.
What sort of men sail on schoon-
ers? All sorts. Crews are sometimes
negro or brown-skinned, with agile
little men from West Indian IS
lands, ruled by white officers, Of
course. More often they are Nor

born, German-born, Russian-born sail

are citizens now, but few schooner

Religion of the Eskimos

A statement about the Eskimo re-
ligion can scarcely be brief and clear
without being misleading. 1t is not far
wrong, however, to say that the idea
of worship as Christians understand
it is rudimentary or absent Like more
highly civilized people, the Eskimos
are, of course confused in their reli-
gious thinking. Different answers and
confused answers come from the most
thoughtful and best informed members
of the same community.

National Parks. Monuments

The national parks and national mon
uments are so closely allied that it is
difficult TO draw hard and fast line
between them. Generally speaking, ma
tional parks are areas preserved in
federal ownership by act of congress
because of their outstanding scenery,
national in character. The national
monuments, on the other hand. are re
served because of their historic, pre-
historic or scientific interest.

 Vital Enterprise
 Surely the Army and Navy air forces stationed in Alas ka could with equal credit lend a portion of their time to an equally vital enterprise without seriously interfering with their routine work and at the same time greatly en- nance their actual efficiency.
 Army and Navy equipment is not at present designed for the precise type of service contemplated in this plan. Certain notifications in equip ment would be necessary. But they would be minor changes involving little expense, and would not form a serious ob- stacle to the development of this plan.
 Alaska's Great Resources
 Alaska's greatest wealth lies and will always lie in her mineral resources. They can not be greatly developed with out a thoroughly scientific aerial reconnaissance, follow ed by an efficient aerial SUD- ply service.
 In Canada that assistance was rendered by exploration companies, privately financ- ed, which therefore profited at the expense of the prospec- tor, By utilizing our Army and Navy forces as outlined above, however, such a pro- ceedure would be obviated, and, at the same time, the taxpayers would suffer no greater burden than is impos- ed upon them by the expense of ordinary routine army and navy training.
