Niccil Smith. San Francisco. Soung San Francisco explorer and adventurer, has returned to his exhome here from a ploration trip to lonely Hainan island off the southeast coast of China. Smith brought back hundreds of photographs, botanical specimens and maps of the remote island. He recorded native life on more than 4,000 feet of sound film. a Hainan island is northeast of off the southeastern China coast. It is 190 milps long and 95 miles wide. Until Smith's recent explorations in the interior of the island no white man had ever penetrated inland. The island is populated by primitive natives of Malay origin who still bunt with poisuned arrows. Attacked by Water Buffalo. Smith had several close shaves with death on his latest trip, he said. On one occasion his car was attacked by a huge water buffalo and at another time, he said, an airplane in which he was flying from Hainan to Canton, to get permission to take photographs in the islands interior, was forced to land in the district of Liu Chow in South China, miles from civilization. In the heart of the wild Hainan country Smith almost died from the effects of a severe sunstroke. On another occasion quick action of a companion saved him from drowning in a swift mountain river. Smith made the only motion pictures ever taken of the Loi aborigine tribes of Hainan and obtained recordings of their native music. He made the first inland maps for the National Geographic society and obtained botanical specimens for the American Museum of Natural History. Rare Dear Captured. A rare Hainan bear, captured by the expedition, died before it could be transported from the interior and the animal was stuffed. It was the only bear of this species ever seen by a white person. Smith said. Among other trophies was the skin of a python, killed by a member of the exploring party. At the completion of his Hainan island exploration Smith traveled to n Yunnan on the border. While there he was the first white man to visit Kocbui, the mystery city of Asia, in more than 20 years. In Kocbui, Smith said, 25,000 children have been sold into slavery. In the last ten years Smith has toured unusual sections of Europe, Asia, America and the South Seas. lie has made extensive explorations in the interior of Dutch Guiana. six-mon- th Phone copy for news Items and events of interest to "The Bulletin' or Commercial Printing Company Hyland 364.

It is then easy to realize why one community is growing, why its merchants are planning a spring promotion campaign to attract peuplc to the town. It is easy to see why the other community is going backward, why it is not attracting patronage for its stores and why so many of its merchants are complaining of the condition of business in their particular community. A civic organization properly organized, and on their toes to bring out and push the many advantages of their particular section, is one of the greatest assets a community can have. Transferring Prints on Silver Luctrrv.arc Made in Italy, Spain, Persia printing on china was introduced by Sadler and Green of Liverpool in 1750, it opened a new phase of ceramic art, according to a writer in the Los Angeles Times. The process consisted of printing on paper from an engraved copperplate and transferring the ink to the body of the article and glazing over the print. Thia new method superseded the old crude one of individual painting and enabled potters to decorate their wares with artistic designs at little cost, for the same design could be used over and over. This naturally increased the demand for pottery wares and the new form of decoration was adopted by many of the potters of Liverpool, the Staffordshire district, Leeds, Bristol and other potting centers. Many n of these potters employed artists and engravers of that time. The result was a new pictorial art which depicted English scenery, historical events, notable public buildings, distinguished people and many other objects. Scenery painting, or rather engraving and printing, waa a particularly happy phase of this art. The Englishman took great pride in his country and his home, and many of the models or designs were drawn from scenes around him. A notable table service made for the royal family at St. Petersburg in 1774 consisted of several hundred pieces, each one beautifully decorated with a famous English country seat. There were more than 1,200 different views and the value at the time it was produced was over 3,000 pounds. of years ago in Italy and Spain and for hundreds of years before that in Persia. It is not known where the China 1750 Ceramic Art When the process of transfer well-know- Early Mahogany Period Left No Great Designers During that era in furniture tory w'hich is called the early hisma- hogany period and which lasted from 1720 to 1740, no great names have survived as master cabinet makers, states a writer in the New York Herald Tribune. Wall furniture was mostly in spired by the classical designs of such architects as Kent, Wren and Chambers. The masterpiece of this era was Houghton hall, home of Pobert Walpole, premier of England, in which Kent used whole cargoes of mahogany for woodwork and furniture. The earlier mahogany pieces of this period were in fact still typical Queen Anne, exhibitAnne imtj i f ing t!:e sirr-icahrir'e leg and ci h f ot with little effort to dice: ale witii carving. The first c.7cci ot the use of mahogany was a tendency to lighten the structural elements of furniture. Specially tempered tools were manufactured to work mahogany, and its strength rendered its use in smaller sections practical, thus, legs of tables and chairs curved to a delicate cabriole could stand without the bracing of stretchers. This period saw the development of carved decoration, the shell and acanthus, C scrolls and bird and animal claw and ball feet. Social usage, particularly called forth all kinds of tables and put a premium on tables, such as that could be put aside until required, and side chairs that could be drawn up closely. ? tilt-to- p, Lusterware was made hundreds Persians acquired the art, but it is possible that they themselves discovered the process of applying a wash of silver or copper to earthenware. It is these metals that give shining overglaze which is so unlike any other ceramic decoration, writes Alice R. Rollins in the Los Angeles Times. The art of making luster was revived or rather rediscovered in England late in the Eighteenth century. It was not so much a rediscovery of the process used in the Middle ages as it was a new discovery by the English, for their method produced a sheen rather than an iridescence which distinguishes the Persian lusterware. Practically all the potters made luster in great quantities. Jugs, or pitchers, jars, bowls, mugs, goblets, cups, decorative ornaments, saltcellars, plates, creamers, sugar bowls, candlesticks and a host of other .articles were made in this delightful ware. Credit for having produced the earliest luster is by some authorities given to Leeds, but the honor is more often given to the Wedgwood school which included such names as Wood, Mayer and others. Many potters prominent in the Staffordshire district, Leeds, Swansea, Sunderland and other pottery centers of England arc associated with the manufacture of luster. It is usually classified according to, the body of the ware and the form of decoration. The lustrous effects are due to the application of some metallic oxide glaze. A solution of platinum is used in the production of silver luster, while the copper and gold or purple lusters are due to a form of copper. The color and texture are influenced by the strength of the oxide and the firing. Lepers Home United States Marine Hospital No. 66, commonly known as the Lepers home, is located on what was once the old Ccnerai Camp Plantation at Carville, Louisiana. The old residence, used as an administration building, was constructed in 1857. The Lepers' home was founded by the state of Louisiana in 1394, and placed under the charge cf the order, Sisters of Saint Vincent dc In 1931 it was turned Paul. over to the federal government and is the only hospital in the United States treating leprosy. The staff consists of doctors, dentist, priest, Protestant minister and nurses.

Monroe Boston Strause, at a salary of $100 a day, is telling a chain of Toronto sandwich shops how to make pies more inviting tc the public palate. Strause eats pie all the time and his waistline has not suffered from his gustatory exploits which earned him the tills of world's champion piemaker. Hs has won so many pie contests and rreated so many new kinds of pie that he can't remember them all. He claims to have originated chiffon pies and said he held the secret for four years before it became public knowledge." He made a fortune out of the recipe while it lasted and traveled 30,000 miles in one year to show hotels and restaurants how to make them. He averages that distance every year. Out of a job in Los Angeles, his 0 home town, lie heard about a prize offered for the best pie made in California. He went to the baker at a prominent hotel with a proposal and they divided the $25,-00- $25,-00- Pie is swell food, 1 0. says Strause. eat scads of it. I have a good complexion and marvelous digestion. I always tell people who say pie gives them indigestion to try eating pie first and the rest of the meal last. They get indigestion just the same, but if they eat only the pie they don't. Its overloading that gives them the pains, not the pie. Nobody knows how many kinds of pie there are, says the pie king. I think up new ones every few days, usually while I'm standing watch ing a baker work. Out of cherries and pineapple I made 360 kinds in one test. Out of cherries alone I made 150. Strause believes that bakers make the best pies. Mother was good, but not as consistent. The pie champion "sneaked his pies into a score of big contests and in every case won from the amateurs. In Chicago he won a contest in which 2,548 pies were entered. You cannot change Strause's mind about it as a dessert pie is tops. Indian Princess Learns Archery at University Salem, Ore. Sitting Bulla granddaughter had to enroll in college to learn to shoot a bow and arrow. The kinswoman of the Sioux Indian chief who fought Custer to the last stand in southeastern Montana in recent history is now a senior in Willamette university here. The young princess from Culbertson, Mont., has displaced her Indian name, Waste Agidiwihn, for the simple title of Evelyn Welsh.-HeIndian name translated means "Bring Pretty," or, more literally, that some day she must do something to bring honor and distinction to her tribe. Miss Welsh has been prominent in Willamette student life. She is national historian of Daleth Teth Gim-morganization for independent women; was twice president of the universitys International club, and takes active part in all choir and glee club activities. Although her mother is of German descent and her father part French, she considers the Sioux tribe her people.

Bacteria Flavors Cheese Rennet cheese may be divided into the hard and the soft types, the principal difference between them being in the amount of moisture or whey left in the eurd, the bacteria or mold used to produce their characteristic flavor, and their method of curing. The most common types of hard cheese are the Cheddar and Swiss. The soft types are represent ed by cream, Brie, Camembert, etc. Between these two groups are varieties which may be characterized as semi-harsuch as brick, Meunster and limburger. As a rule, in the hard cheeses, the which produce the ripening are distributed through the cheese mass and therefore act in a fairly uniform way throughout the cheese. In the "ripened soft cheeses, these organisms are mostly on the surface and gradually penetrate through the mass; hence it follows that soft cheeses must be made in small sizes. Cream cheese is an unripened soft cheese, being marketed fresh, without curing. SPEED OF INSECT FASTER THAN SOUND Deer Cot Fly Registers Miles an Hour. 03 Washington, D. C.

Wings Make d, micro-organis- Earliest Known Alchemist The earliest known alchemist, named Jofuku, lived in Japan more than 2,160 years ago, according to a study reported to the American Chemical society. The Emperor Chin Shili Huang Ti of Japan, ruling about 225 B. C., is said to have sent Jofuku on an elaborate naval expedition to find three supernatural islands in the midst of the Eastern sea "where the immortals lived and a drug existed which prevented death. The alchemist discovered a remarkably peaceful and fertile land where he became king. Jofuku's tomb stands on an enclosed plot of sanctified ground at Shingu in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, where it is visited by pilgrims who burn incense, make offerings of pennies or rice, and pray for long life and happiness. Seed. "Wings are a symbol for velocity, and nature awards her speed records to flying creatures. The duck hawk, next to that insect, has been timed as the fastest living thing on wings. The speed of its cousin in the eastern hemisphere, the Peregrine falcon, made it the ideal hunting hawk because it always overtook its prey. Other fliers which have such effectiveness in flight as to be the warplanes of the bird world are the eagle and the vulture. The swift is one of the swiftest. The swallow, too, can figuratively swallow small distances whole in rapid flying. Wings also give speed to what has been called the fastest finned creature the flying fish. It can take off with its tail and spread its fins for gliding in the air rapidly enough to escape becoming fish food for its swimming enemies. Other Fast Ones. "Flying feet give speed to animal racers, such as the antelope, the gazelle, and the deer. To overtake them man had to use arrows and bullets. The ostrich, the emu, and the giraffe too are fast afoot, usually outdistancing a horseman.

Remains of their work have been found in Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Malta, Sardinia, northern Africa, and Asia. In southern England, near Salisbury, is Stonehenge. The Dolmen Builders appear to have been worshipers of the sun. Some of them were buried just outside the circle, or "cromlech, of Stonehenge.
