First Publication Sept. 1st, 1938 Last Publication Oct. 27th, 1938 Old-Timers Had Trade Secrets i In early times cities strove with ach other for the leather trade, as they did for the lace trade, when shand-made lace was in great de-!mand de-!mand at fabulous prices. Tanners .were encouraged to find new processes proc-esses by which a fine new leather I could be produced. The formula jwas kept secret and the product jwas put upon the market under the name of the city in which it was produced. Thus trade secrets are as old as industry and tanning is among the oldest of industries. Southwest's 'Kivas Closely Guarded "Kiva" is the name given to the secret ceremonial chamber which from prehistoric times has been the most important feature of every Indian In-dian pueblo in the Southwest. At least a score of pueblos, or villages, occupied by the descendants of the "hohokam," "those who have vanished," van-ished," flourish in New Mexico. In each the kiva is scrupulously guarded guard-ed from white visitors. Caucasians have access, however, to the ancient an-cient kivas in the prehistoric ruins of the Southwest. if k I (01 IF rl M UU CALIFORNIA BRAND in Brand California wmi n i i L3 WIN 20 olcohol by velum Cleopatra Called the 'Dark Queen of Egypt' There is as much reason for supposing sup-posing that Cleopatra was a blonde as for supposing that she was a brunette. bru-nette. According to the popular conception, con-ception, she was a decided brunette, bru-nette, with dark skin, dark eyes and dark hair, and she is frequently referred re-ferred to as "the dark queen of Egypt." But historical sources supply sup-ply no evidence as to her actual complexion. It should be borne in mind that Cleopatra was a Greek by ancestry, and Egyptian only by birth. So far as known, observes a writer in the Indianapolis News, she did not have Egyptian blood in her veins. The Ptolemies, it is supposed, remained re-mained pure Macedonian Greeks, and their capital, Alexandria, was the center of Greek rather than Egyptian culture. They even dressed as Greeks except on certain ceremonial occasions. Therefore, I Cleopatra must be regarded as a Macedonian type, and the dark skin and black hair of the native Egyptian Egyp-tian afford no clue as to her complexion. com-plexion. Many Greeks were dark-complexioned, dark-complexioned, but among the Macedonians Mace-donians white skin, fair hair and blue eyes were not uncommon, and one of Cleopatra's ancestors, Ptolemy Ptole-my Philadelphus, is described by Theocritus as having light hair and fair complexion. When an American actress played the role of Cleopatra in Shakespeare's tragedy she portrayed por-trayed the Egyptian queen with red hair. Shakespeare alluded to Cleopatra Cleo-patra as "tawny." Hippopotamus May Weigh As Much as an Elephant The common hippopotamus (often called "hippo," for short) weighs about as much as the Indian elephant, ele-phant, but is not so heavy, on the average, as the African elephant. A big hippo may weigh four tons. Sometimes hippos are captured on land at night, with the help of traps. The flesh is good to eat, the tusks are valued for ivory, and the hide is used in making whips. Armed with spears and an iron harpoon, the natives chase the animal ani-mal in a canoe, writes a correspondent correspond-ent in the Portland Oregonian. When the harpoon is hurled the hippo hip-po makes a sudden leap. The hunters hunt-ers play out a long rope, in much the same way a fisherman plays his line for a game fish. This opens a battle which may or may not prove "merry." Down the stream at full speed dashes the hippo, towing the canoe with great ease. Sometimes the angry beast turns around, attacking at-tacking the boat and upsetting it. That is a signal for the hunters to dive. In other cases the hippo swims into shallow water. Then ,the natives na-tives jump out and do their best to finish the fight with spears. If they succeed, they obtain many hundreds of pounds of meat for the tribe. Not First Dictionary Contrary to general belief, even among scholars, Dr. Samuel Johnson's John-son's "Dictionary," which was compiled com-piled about 1750, was not the first dictionary of the English language although it was by far the best one ever produced at that time. The first compilation of this sort, says Pearson's London Weekly, was "The English Dictionarie," in 1623, by the lexicographer Henry Cockeram. Before Be-fore this, in 1604, Robert Cawdrey had compiled a "Table Alphabeti-call Alphabeti-call of Hard Words," but this was hardly a dictionary in the sense that Cockeram's was. Cockeram, in his dictionary, urged young writers "to acquire a learned style by looking look-ing up the simple words" they knew and to "find synonyms of such length as to astonish their readers." nn39- - ? w , - p99 TIP: KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR BUICK DEALER I Believers in Preparedness The man who makes preparation for the expected only sooner or later lat-er will be confronted with some situation with which he will be unable un-able to cope. Abraham Lincoln said: "I will get ready, and some day my chance will come." He got ready; and his chance came. When Daniel Webster made his reply to Hayne, some one asked him how long it had taken him to prepare to make that speech. His reply was: "Forty years!" All through these years, Webster had been adding add-ing to his reserve supply the intellectual intel-lectual resources that enabled him to meet the demands when the call came. Life furnishes many critical situations which can only be met by those who take oil in their vessels ves-sels with their lamps. The wise make the fullest preparation. They prepare for the expected and also for the unexpected. Rev. E. V. Cole. The worst I BODY ODOR IS ii to ' - .. war i i if (Zl I I The wont body odor comaa from P.
