Lady on the Handlebar
 Bad Form, in Bicycling

Within the last year Theodore Mariner, consular general, was killed at Beirut, Syria, by an en- ragged applicant for a passport.
 Earlier still, Robert w. Imbrie was assassinated at Teheran, Per sia. Imbrie had had large DOT tion of the tougher variety of for eign service before that. He was the first representative of the U. $ to Kemals Turkish Nationalist gov. ernment at the desert city of An. kara.
 Imbrie went to Ankara with hi. bride of a few weeks and main. tained the consulate for severa months in the Asian equivalent O railroad caboose.
 After his transfer to Teheran Persia, as consular representative Imbrie and a companion were at tackled in the streets by fanati mob. Badly injured, he was takel to hospital but the mob followed l broke in and hacked him to death July Is, 1924. Four days later Mrs Imbries also was injured in an at tack.

sdestrians are advised to do, they are likely to collide head-on with autos if they swerve.
 Ten Feet Apart
 When bicyclistS travel in groups, not more than two should travel abreast. If those two are man and a girl, the man should be next to the traffic Bicycles should keep about 10 feet apart. Additional advice: Don't start a long trip without a repair kit. You need a wrench and tire patching equipment. A han dlebar- basket will come in handy too, for carrying lunches, guide books or notebooks. Don't let anyone ride on the handlebars. Handlebar- riders are likely to get their feet tangled in the spokes. Then everybody takes a spill. Even if you escape spills the extra weight makes the bicy- cle swerve so it's difficult to guide.
 Put Comfort First K. Girls shouldn't wear skirts that are too tight. Shorts. culottes ol slacks are good-or a skirt that is wide enough to give you a little freedom.
 k Ride in the most comfortable position. You should be able tc reach the pedals with your heel: without any strain. Your hand; should rest lightly on the handle bars. The ball of your foot-no your instep-should press on th' pedals. Your ankles should dt much of the work.

. CoIors and fabrics are headline news in J938 fall fashions.
 Black remains prominent cos tune hue, but a number of new intriguing shades have come to town for the winter mode. Those launched by Fren c h designers made their debut in New York this year on the day when they were revealed to buyers in. Paris.
 This was made possible by an arrangement, whereby nine Paris designers tSchiaparelli, Molyneaux, Patoti, Chanel, Lelong, Lanvin, Maggy Rouff, Creed and Marcel Dormoy) furnished a New York dye company Omitted Piece Dye Works with samples of their colors in ad- vance ,Es4 s.a
 Among hues were the rich rusts, terra cottas and auburns to which Paris gave unexpected prominence, the greenish blue Mallard duck tones and the lichen, almond, vivid and dark greens used by some of Paris best" One of the most strik- ing notes in the newly imported col lection, from which many of Am .erica's fall fashion colors will be chosen; was the violent influence on reds and blues. Many red -violets, sblue-yiolets and purple-violets, as well as mauvish roses and orchid pirks were among them. Browns

TEXAN TAKES TT


 Indemnity was demanded for Im- brie's death. The sum of S6O, ,0O0 was paid by Persia to the Treasury for Mrs. Imbrie and $10,00O was paid also as expense of a cruiser in re- turning the body to the U. S.
 Later, Congress awarded Mrs. Imbrie $30 900 from the $11O.0O0 as compensation for her own injuries. The State Department had recom- mended use of the cruiser expense money to finance Persian students in the U. s. but Congress declined, and the balance remains in the Treasury.
 Even for hardy souls the life of the foreign service officer in the tropics often is a narrowing one. Walter Foote, consular general at Batavia, Java, lately hove into the Department to report that during his six-year stay in the Dutch East Indies he had typhoid repeatedly, malaria at least once each year and sometimes oftener, amoebic and bacterial dysentery repeatedly, and no end of annoyance from vici- ous leeches.
 But he is stout Texan and sur vived while two of his aides had to be transferred or perish. But gad you should see the man sweat He is tropic waterfall.

Archaeologiists Seek Trace ofHuman Migrations

After hundreds or miles of canoe travel. down the Mackenzie River and across the Rat River portage to the Yukon River and thence to Fairbanks, w. L. Bliss, instructor from the University of New Mexico, with a party of archaeologists, an- nounces he has discovered two vir- gin areas in the field of archaeology.
 Bliss and five in his party arrived in Juneau yesterday morning on the steamer. Baranof, three continuing on south, one stopping off here for work in the Juneau area ,'and Bliss himself leaving this morning on the Princess Charlotte.
 Last spring the archaeologists went by wagon, train and airplane from Edmonton to Fort St. John i160 miles, then went down the Si- kanny River by canoe, down the Nelson into the Liard, and thence into the Mckenzie and on down to it's mouth.
 |. Bliss said his party was studying early human migrations, especially with reference to mans movements in relation to glaciation and physi- cal, geography"
 E It is Bliss theory that human migrations took place at the time
 mastadonS and other prehistoric animals were presumed to have Ecome over a land bridge from Asia
 and that those migrations followed
 the eastern slope of the Rocky
 Mountains rather than the coast
 Certain cultures of human exis- tences were found far north by tht
 party almost precisely limited by the Rockies on the western limits lofs that culture M | Little excavation work was done by the party. with most studies
 being made with reference to geo.
 logyi and physiography to determine likely areas for excavation work. | Near Aklavik, and near Loon Lake Ion the Rat River portage, and or Ethe Natanni River, little excava- ton work was done and evidence. Hound of cultures as yet unstudied F. Next year the party hopes to re-
 turn and do extensive excavation. Bliss took the Charlotte to Prince P,,porf ssyborso ba uill on to Er1v,o.,

Be astride your bicycle before you set it in motion.
 Don't take running start and trust to luck you will hop onto it properly.
 This advice came from Joseph Aug, who's been renting bicycles and teaching bicycle-riding in New York since 1914.
 MT. Aug augments that advice with these observations: When you get going, stay on the right of the road. Bicycles are vehicles. As such they should be operated according to automobile rules-travel with the traffic. If they go against it, as pe-
