Source Of khiva Rugs

Khiya rugs come from the Soviet re
public OF that name, In Asiatic Russia.
khiva also Is the capital. In America,
travellers returned with rugs bought In
this strange city and eventually they
were given the name "Khlva." Though
the region Is divided by natural bar
riers from China and Tibet, the influ-
ence OF the Far East Is strong, Its
symbolism apparent in the art. The
so-called ''octagon" design belongs to
this region. Originally, the Chinese
employed this design with each division
presided over by its animal and bird
deitles. Eventually, however, the de-
signs evolved into pattern OF light
and shade and today 1t Is very rare
that even suggestion of the animal
or bird figures appears.

Mackcrel, a Kin to Tuna,
One of Athletes of Sea

The mackerel is related to the far

ceeds four pounds in weight. But, like
tuna, says the Montreal Herald. IT

Of the seas It's muscles. which are the
edible part, are very well developed
and TEND to be somewhat f1rmer than
those that are found In less active
fish. 1t is this development which pro-
duces the fine hrm texture OF mack
erel, and II ID also responsible for the
slightly darker appearance Of the meat.
It seems that nature made the active
muscles I little darker In color than
the non-active; thus W and that the
domestic fowl, which does net do much
flying, has white breast muscles, where
AZ the pigeon, which ID famed for It's
flight. has dark breast muscles A
domestic rabbit has white flesh, 4 Wild
rabbit has dark flesh. Similarly such
Ash ~ the salmon, trout, tuna and
mackerel, which are very active and
powerful swimmers. tend to have z
darker flesh.
The Indians and aborig1nes used to
think that in order to be strong and
brave one must eat animals that were
strong and brave.

Caused by Bite Only

Lest many dog owners be needless
~ alarmed because their pets evidence
any one or more Of these symptoms,
which are also symptoms of other less
dangerous ailments, Ii must be borne
in mind that rabies Is caused by a
specific germ. No other germ Is like
1t, asserts a writer In the Los An
geles Times. 1t is introduced only
through the bite OF an afflicted animal
which inoculates the susceptible
through the broken skin with Its virus
laden saliva. The animal doing the
biting must necessarily be mad at the
time OF biting In order to transmit the
disease. 1t is remotely possible for the
germ to enter the system OF dog or
human through any open cut In the
skin If licked BY the tongue OF a rabid
dog. Nothing can cause rabies except
it's own specific germ.

bubble molecules and the oil particles
huddle together because Of some mutual
magnetic or quasimagnetic attraction,
but practical application of the phenom-
enon was to await results OF
dramatic laboratory experiments des-
tined to be conducted eight years
later, 1850 miles away in the American
oil fields.
=. The early 1905 saw trend toward
high-powered automobile motors which
unsaer certain conditions could not be
adequately fabricated by mineral oils.
From the executive offices of the oil
companies the order went down to the
Laboratory chiefs to develop lubricant
which would do the job. Technicians
|of one company started experimenting
in one direction, technicians of an
other company in another, and so on,
looking for alloy oils 1t SO happened
that Bert H Lincoln and L. l.. Davis,
chemists for Continental, had read of
Sir Williams curious observations, so
they started in where Sir William left
off, to find some substance which would
make mineral oil behave that way. 1t

The usual and accepted method Of
measuring the length of golf hole
is on an air line from the middle of
the back tee to the center Of the green.
The air line simply means that 1t is
measured across natural depressions,
instead Of following the ground con
tour. On dog-leg hole the fairest
method would seem to be to measure
the line which would normally be TAX
en- by standard good golfer In playing
the hole, |. e., put a peg In the middle
of the fairway at what might be called
the angle point Of the hole and then
measure from the middle OF the back
tee to the angle point and to the CEN
ter of the green.

SOAP BUBBLES PAVED
THE WAY FOR NEW OIL

PONCA CITY. Okla, June ga
staid English physicist who did not
consider it below his dignity to blow
soap bubbles paved the way for dis
eevery of the principle which makes
modern motor oils the best automobile
lubricants science has known, it was
revealed at the laboratories of the
Continental Oil Company today
The hero of the story is Sir William
Bragg, who by 1925 had blown several
million bubbles and observed that on
each one, as it was about to burst,
there appeared dark spot which
looked like a thin black film on the
airy, irridescent surface. After many
disheartening failures he actually
photographed the spot by X-ray diff
fraction and found it consisted of a
L layer only two molecules in thickness
at the point where the bubble was
about to rupture.
The mystery Of the ability Of this in
finitely delicate film to resist breaking
after the thicker soap solution had been
pulled away was explained by the
amazing X-ray evidence that the
double layers of molecules were regi-
mented, with each molecule in up
right position and all bound together
by the force of their nter-molecular
attraction
Putting down his bubble pipe, Sir
William took up medicine droppcr
and tried dropping oils on water in
basins He discovered that mineral oil
had tendency to spread itself out
thinly over the surface Of the water,
making varied patterns of various size,
and-air and current conditions being
static-of uniform shape, the shape be-
ing circle. The entire film formed
unit which resisted efforts to break it's
unity.
Again Sir William brought his photo
graphic genius into play and discovered
that on the water, as on the bubble
surfaces, something more than accident
was bringing the oil particles together.
| Sir William reasoned that the soap

Tar Water a. Medicine

In 1873 Bishop Berkeley, Protestant
bishop Of Cloyne, In Ireland, found
during Il visit to America that the In
dlans OF Narragansett made lavish use
Of tar In connecting their medical nos
trums. The people OF his diocese at
this time were. stricken with violent
illness, and he became obsessed with
the idea OF the efficacy OF tar water
for all maladies. He wrote treatise
on the virtues OF tar water which drew
down upon him the Indignation Of med
ical men and the ridlcule of the Amer
Jean and British newspapers OF the
time.

maintain that any banking institution

cried.

he lit.
The small twigs cracked and
broke in two. The next thing that
poor Quincy knew, he took a sudden

Don't spread too many cross the

how. I'm willing, sir, to stop right
now. 1 certainly don't wish to spoil
the plan you have in mind"

do" the hunter said, before we're
through. Now you can help me

so kird."
They did his in little while.
Then Copy shouted, with a smile,
"Why, you would never know that
there's great big hole right there.
IF any beast comes round this
way, he's bound to meet his doom
today. 1t surely is clever stunt,
but don't think it's fair"
