Prehistoric Chinese Women Wore Furs And Used Rouge Washington.—Prehistoric Chinese women apparently wore fur coats and painted their faces thousands of years before modern women thought of the same ideas, the Smithsonian Institution indicated recently in •a report of its stone age excavations in northern China. The archeologists dug deep into the remains of a pre -historic village in Shansi' Province, where they found lumps of cinnabar — prehis- toric rouge — and indications that the population wore furs of 1500 B.C. style. The "village" sprawled over an area 500 miles long and 200 miles wide, C. W. Bishop, associate cur- ator of the freer gallery of art of the Smithsonian Institute, said. The inhabitants lived in bee -hive shaped houses, whose. walls were plastered, and whose only entrance was from the top. "Our prehistric Chinese were not Nomads wandering about with their flocks, Bishop said. "They were planters depending for food on What they grew."

Warm Water Route Discovered In Arctic Moscow.—The Soviet ice breaker Sadko reported by wireless last week it had discovered a warm water passage through Arctic ice which might be, a section of an open chan- nel through which steamers could navigate to the Far East from Europe by way of the polar regions. George Ushakov, head of the ex- pedition exploring Arctic areas, said the passage was 650 :feet wide, cut- ting through previously unexplored territory between Franz Josef Land and Nickolas the Second Land. He reported the water lane was flanked, by fields of impassible ice. Ushakov, who also . announced the discovery of a -new island, said he believed the water was a part of; the Gulf Stream. The passage was; reported extending due north fron the position of the Sadko, given as," 81% degree northern latitude, ap= proximately 700 miles from the North Pole. had taken a stand and refused to leave it would not have happened. What did Burk mean? He hadn't said anything about a girl; she hadn't known he was in love. He neva er told her anything about his affairs, but she put that down to his being sensitive and shy, although his father ,had another name for it. • She tried to think back over the years.

But the scales had fallen. Pa- rents meant nothingto children now- adays, Only a source of supply. And it had been her fault. They would be expecting her now by next train. Suddenly she sat up and threw the telegram through the rail. She weak. :ed down to the office and sent this inessage, "Congratulate Burk, but tell him 'he is stronger than 1 am. Will not come home.

" Boy Problems Grow Up (An edtoriai from the Rotarian 1Vlagazine) . To most men, a boy, is one of the most interesting things on earth. No two are alike. To one, the description "a noise with dirt on it" may apply. Another will be shy and serious with oddly conflicting ideas struggling for expression in action. Wise adults un derstand this, for they know that the growing period of a youngster ' is above all a time for adjustments to a constantly expanding social and. physical . environment. But boys grow up, and so do,their problems. Youngsters have Thad an especially "difficult time in making. their adjustments . in the past live years, for the conditions about them with which they would come to terns have themselves been shifting.

For Homes Costing $10,000 'Or More. Ottawa. --Under the new Domin- ion Housing Act there will not be any limitation on the size and cost of any house a person availing him- self of the terms of the act wishes to build. There already have been inquiries from persons wishing to borrow to build homes costing $10,- 000 10;000 and more. In this regard it is pointed out that the purpose of the act is to as- sist in the building of more homes and while the hope is that it will mean a large increase in the type of homes suitable for the greater mass of the people, there is the conclusion that the building of higher -class homes will also con- tribute to more employment and greater use of Canadian building materials. Interpretations of the act are be- ing made as points arise. For in- stance, it has been ruled that whle the act permits borrowing of 80 per cent of the cost of a home, it is not ncessary to borrow that much if a prospectve builder has an equity nigher than 20 percent. Further, it las definitely been _laid down that no second-hand or shoddy materials shall be used in, homes constructed with money borrowed under the act. Mexican Cusco. Please Canadians Ontario Woman Records Her Impressions Of Visit No need to go to Alaska to be cool or to Egypt to see the pyramids, according to Mrs. E. B. Flint, of London, Ont., who with her husband, attended the Rotary International Convention in Mexico City. It's never too hot and never too cool down there and the Aztec pyramids are almost as interesting as the famous ones on the banks of the storied Nile. Mexico, situated '7,500 feet above sea level, has an even temperature, 'never above 78 and never below 60, the visitors were told. It has re- tained many quaint customs and as yet has no large stores and few tourists, owing to the lack of good motor loads.

The delegates had a Mexican dinner in a restaurant made in a cave below the pyramids. The Floating Gardens, where land is so valuable that Me houses are built on it, was also another place of interest. It is possible to raise seven crops of corn a year on this land, and if a man sells a strip he merely digs another canal instead of building a fence to define the boun- dary.

Gums turn purple—almost black; -teeth fluoresce and stand out brilliantly white. Ail this makes diagnosis eas- ier. According to information supplied by A. B.

It turns black, gray or the color of the rays that shine upon it. Hence the con- trasts are sharpened, Apply this to the mercury-vapor arc. It is predominantly' blue, green, yellow, Flood the mouth with light of these hues only and the gums, ton- gue and tissues, having no red light to reflect, turn dark purple.
