Vital Look

What kind of a face goes
with a uniform? Is the coun-
tenance that went to peace
time business and to parties
correct with q uniform-eith-
er her own home frontiers
civilian defense garb or with
her on-leave escorts fighting
clothes?
That's what women are
asking nowadays.
There are a lot Of answers. For
instance. some say we must look
more vital than before.
True. But getting down to
cases. there's one obvious rule.
It's look clean. even scrubbed
A lot Of women are acting on
that idea already. Herta Hari, for
one. says her first thought is to
look fresh. fresher than ever.
And Herta Hari is excited as a
kitten over the ease with which
she can accomplish that, even in
wartime. thanks to that great
American institution, the modern
gadget-filled bathroom.

'CleOpatra'S Needle

A plaque giving a few historical
details about ''Cleopatra's Needle, "
the first explanatory notice that has
ever been attached to the obelisk
during its so years in New York,
has been placed on the west face
of the base of the monument in Gen.
trail park.
Many visitors had inquired of park
attendants, and of the department
by mail and telephone, what the
tall shaft of stone carved with
Egyptian hieroglyphs was. Accord
ingly, the park department designed
a plaque, which the New York His
torical society had cast in bronze
and which was set recently. It
reads:
"Cleopatra's Needle. This obelisk
was erected first at Heliopolis,
Egypt, in 1900 B. c. It was removed
to Alexandria in IL B. c. by the
Romans. Presented by the Khedive
of Egypt to the City of New York,
it was erected here on February %,
1881, through the generosity of Will
liam H. Vanderbilt"

Moving to Small Towns

A "back-to-the-country" move
ment of population seems definitely
under way in Pennsylvania, but it
is not exactly trek black to the
land" H. r. Gotham, rural sociolo-
gist of Pennsylvania State college,
commented in reviewing prelim-
mary reports of the 1910 census.
More people leaving the big cities
between 1880 and 1910 appear to
have settled in small towns than
actually became farmers.
This shift in population may have
been partly a reflection of the close
business conditions which prevailed
during the decade. Current indus
trial activity stimulated by the de-
tense program may bring a tempo
rary reversal from the trend.
The population of the state as a
whole increased only 2.8 per cent in
the past 10 years in comparison with
los for the l920-30 period.

800 Alien Weeds

California is now playing host to
more than 500 alien species of weeds
that are costing the state millions
of dollars annually. Some of the
worst pests among them are COM
parative newcomers and one or two
new species are slipping across the
state boundary lines almost every
year.
This estimate is made in a survey
of weed problems in the state by
w. s. Ball Of the state department
of agriculture and DR.. W. W..
Robbins of the University of Califor.
MIA college Of agriculture.

African Native Adopts
Strange Method of Rest

Many of the dark-skinned natives
Of central and southern Africa knew
how to raise crops before men from
Europe came to their lands. In
stead of hoes, they used digging
sticks. Nowadays they are provid-
ed with hoes which they have OBJ
tanned by trade with the whites.
The Belgian Congo is largely COW
cred with forests, but there are
stretches of grass land. When the
grass is dry, it is burnt and the
ground is broken up with hoes
Sometimes all the men and women
of a tribe take part in clearing the
land. The chief crops are corn and
sweet potatoes.
When the crops are growing, chill
dren stand on guard, and are ex-
pected to scare away animals which
might do damage. They throw
stones, or shake sticks, at balloons
and antelopes which come near.
The hippopotamus is another ami
NAL which likes to visit gardens,
especially at night. To save the
crops from that beast, fences are
built A hippopotamus might easily
butt down fence, but he seems to
fear a trap and let it alone.
Another source of food is hunting
Some tribes depend almost entirely
on the game they kill. Their weap-
ons include clubs, spears, sand
arrows, throwing knives and
swords
When fighting against other tribes
the warriors sometimes put poison
on the tips of their weapons. The
poison is composed of juice from
certain plants or venom taken from
snakes.
African hunters kill elephants,
lions, leopards, and many smaller
animals. Elephants almost always
are captured in traps before they
are slain. Hunters of the Baganda
tribe are not allowed to eat the flesh
of elephants they kill, so they use it
in trading with other tribes.

Men Wear Wells Among
Tuaregs in North Africa

It is an odd fact that most Of the
worlds continents have the initial
"a" This is true of Asia, Africa,
and Australia. It is also true OF
North America and South America,
in regard to the second part OF the
name. Europe is the only continent
without that initial.
The reason for Africa's name Is
not clear. One theory IS that 1t
came from the name of a certain
tribe in northern Africa.
That tribe is made up of so-cafied
"Afrigha." 1t is one of the Tuareg
tribes of the Sahara desert.
The Tuaregs live mainly IN the
western and central parts OF the
vast desert. They have villages IN
some places, but many OF them
spend most of their time wandering
about.
The skins of Tuaregs are white
or mostly white, but they usually
are fairly well tanned by the desert
sun. Their eyes are brown, as a
rule, but some of the natives are
DlUS-eyeQ.
There is a veil custom for women
in some parts of northern Africa,
but this is not true of the TuaregaS.
Their women go around without
covering their faces, except when
they are called to meet stranger
and wish to show him respect.
1t is the young men of the Tuaregs
who wear wells! They keep piece
of cloth over the lower half Of the
face. Chiefs and sons Of chiefs wear
blue cloth. Others use white clotn
for this purpose.
The Arabs of northern Africa cal
the Tuaregs by a name meaning
Men of the Veil" The reason for
the cloth may be to guard against
the sand, of which there is plenty on
the DESERT

Miracle Plastic Is
Perfect for Curtains

Imagine shower curtains which
will not mildew, crack, crease, rot,
fade, shrink or waterspot-and in
addition are the most heavenly col
ors you ever saw and of a texture
you love to touch. Sounds too good
to be true, but along with the other
miracles of modern chemistry which
have given us such things as n.y.
lon stockings and lucite furniture,
comes this new plastic for shower
curtains.
This is not a coated or textile fab
ric, but is a plastic, similar to the
glaSS-like suspenders and belts which
will stretch and then return to orig
inal sizes. The curtains will also
give slightly if pulled, but the cur
tain always returns to its original
shape. There are window curtains to
match the shower curtains so that
the bathroom may be ensembled.

Telling Age of Fish

Telling the age, origin Of fish and
how many times they have spawned
by their scales is new technique
recently developed by DR.. R. A. Mes
bit of the United States Fish and
Wild Life service and David H. Wal
lace of the Chesapeake Biological
laboratory of Solomons, Md.
The scales of fish show annual
growth "rings' much like the an
nular rings in trees. Fish scales
are better age indicators than teeth
in horses.
The portion of the scales shaped
like an inverted "V" which lies un-
derneath the skin reveals these
rings" They show up as blank
spaces where the new scales were
not laid down due to slowed growth
during winter. 1t is necessary to use
a microscope for accurate results.

Grill Protects Stamps

A grill is protective device APP
piled to stamps by roller studded
with blunt points or grooves passed
over the stamp paper, indenting 1t
with a regular pattern in the shape
of these letters. This permits the
canceling ink to soak through these
broken fibers of the paper. making
cleaning and reuse impossible.
Early issues of United States
stamps often were made with vari-
GUS kinds of grillS.
