Entries 31st SOUTH 1107 EAST The'okapl is of the genus Giraf-flda- e and is "considered by many to be an actually living fossil," according to an authority in the Wash- nology. "The fate of a nation is determined to considerable extent by what it eats," said Lewis W. Waters, research vice president of the General Foods corporation. "The food technologist, with the soundest of reasoning, can point out that war, war threats, and international suspicion may be dietetic, as well as economic and political. "The food technologists of all nations should eventually help solve the jitters of nationalities by helping to correct malnutrition and undernutrition. A generation ago we said, 'Foods will win the war.' Our civilization today would be better served by the slogan, 'Correct eating and food in sufficient quantity will help avoid war.' " $250,000 Fortune Goes delicately fringed in black. The back is shaded into rich tints of dark red, light red and silvery red on the sides and under the belly. More careful of his appearance than the most fastidious woman, the okapi never tires of washing himself carefully, licking his skin at every point that his long, tongue can reach. And that means his entire body. His head can reach his tail as he bends his long neck as if it were joined at the base by a hinge. The okapi's first act in the morning, and the last before going to sleep, is to bathe in the river. He does not roll in the water, but gallops through it, taking good care to choose a place where the bottom is sandy so that the water splashing over him cannot become muddy. If the okapi is jealous of his skin, there is "method in his madness." For, the darkness of the black blends almost perfectly with the k appearance of the vegetation at five or six feet from the ground; the black and white stripes of the upper part of the legs mimic with the light and shadow projected through the lower part of the foliage, and the white of the stockings resembles the silvery color of the dried leaves on the ground. Hence, at five or six yards' distance the maximum visiblity in the forest the okapi is invisible. And just to add to the list of peculiarities the okapi's eyes are independent of each other, enabling him to look in two directions at once. 18-in- near-blac- Monogram Signature in Use Since Earliest Days Monograms in the form of a single sign, representing a name, have been used since civilization began. They were man's first attempt at a signature, crude efforts to imprint individuality upon objects, or to proclaim ownership. More elaborate ones composed of the several initials of a name have been found upon medals and seals of Sicily and Macedonia. Popes, emperors, kings and queens of the Middle ages used them in lieu of signatures, notes a writer in the New York Times. In Japan initial monograms, or those involving the full name, made up in the form of seals, are in general use for signing prints, letters, contracts, bills, receipts, etc. The work of the early artists, engravers and craftsmen of Germany, Flanders and many European cities, was signed solely with the initials of their makers, which were frequently interwoven with figures of symbolic character. The most common form of monogram is the square, which represents the foundation, principles of life, or the circle, the line of perfection, which, like the Infinite, is without beginning or end, and encloses all. Some of the simplest ones are a primitive sort of shorthand. A rebus forming a pun upon a man's name was once extremely popular in England. Pictorial signatures also were once common there, as for instance the letter N between crude sketches of an ox and a bridge, which stands for to Cotton Field Toiler search Augusta, Ark.

Flowers taller than a man were reported encountered by Paul Allen, manager of the tropical station of the Missouri Botanical gardens at Balboa, Canal Zone, on his return from an expedition into the interior. The specimen was an Aiisto-loch- i, which Allen described as the largest he hud ever seen. "In all truth," he said, "this plant had a flower measuring 7 feel 8 inches from the top cf the (lower to the tail." Exhibits "Lot's Wife Salt" An ancient block of transparent rock salt from Palestine, of the same type as that into which Lot's wife was transformed according to the Bible story, is on exhibition in the department of geology at Field Museum of Natural History. That the block is old enough to have been contemporary with Lot's wife was pointed out by the chief curator. This specimen of salt comes from the shore of the Dead sea, near the Jeban Usdum, a name which means "mountain of salt." A cave in this mountain contains many stalactites cf rock salt. Indian Names of States States in the United States with names of Indian origin are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin. Various theories have been advanced as to the origin of the name Oregon, one of which is that it is of Indian origin, coming from the Shoshone Indian word, meaning "place of plenty." Indianapolis News. Oyer-un-ge- The period when men wore powdered wigs began at the palace of Louis XIV of France. Louis had beautiful long, curly, blond hair of which he was very proud. One day his courtiers gave a surprise party in his honor, each appearing adorned in a wig resembling the king's magnificent coiffure. But instead of fueling pleased at this intended tribute, Louis was piqued and gave orders that in future no one but himself was to appear in long blond curls and that if the courtiers wished to wear wigs, they must choose a different color. The courtiers accordingly, not wanting to pick a darker shade for the reason that their natural hair was dark, chose white. And henceforth, observes a writer in the Chicago Tribune, the wearing of powdered wigs became general in Europe, spreading from Versailles to the court of Charles II in England and from there to America. Under Queen Anne in England wigs reached their climax of development, commonly being worn so long that they covered the back and shoulders, with corkscrew curls even floating down over the chest. During most of the white wig era men wore knee breeches, a tight fitting garment that clearly revealed the shape of the legs. But when George IV came to the throne in England, he was so fat that he looked a sight in breeches and it was a problem what to do about it. The solution at last came from Beau Brummel, who proposed that the king should wear long pants. The king accepted Brummel's plan and the world has been wearing long pants ever since. Jules Verne, Writer, Was Born at Nantes, France The name Jules Verne was not a pseudonym. This famous novelist was born at Nantes, France, in 1828. In keeping with the family tradition, he was trained for law, but soon turned to writing. During his lifetime, States a writer in the Detroit News, he wrote nearly 100 books, many of which were translated into most of the civilized tongues, including the Chinese, Arabian and Japanese. His first literary work appeared in 1850, the dramatic piece in verse, "Les Pail-le- s Rompues." He became secretary to the director of the Opera Comique and wrote the. books for several operas. About 1859, he visited Scotland, England and the Scandinavian countries.. Later he made a trip to the United States. . His real career began when he originated a new literary form, the "scientific and geographical novel." The first book of this type, "Five Weeks in a Balloon," was published serially in a magazine in 1861 and appeared in book form two years later. Other popular books included "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" (1870), "From the Earth to the Moon" (1864), "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1873), and "Michael Strogoff" (1876). According to Waldemar Kaempffert, writing in the New York Times, "The secret of Verne's success lay in the piling up of one exciting incident on another." He died at Amiens in 1905. Blue Whale in Antarctic The blue whale is common in the Antarctic. It is the largest of living creatures. It has been reported at a length of 100 feet, with a calculated weight of from 150 to 200 tons. Baleen whales, which are sizable, too, live chiefly on little prawns about two inches long, which they sift into their toothless mouths in great quantities. The sperm whale, the kind that carries about five tons of oil in its head, prefers a diet of squid. Epic battles have been reported between the sperm whale and the giant squid. It is said that as a last resort the whale will plunge to the bottom and crush the squid against the ocean floor. Powerful beyond conception in the water, the whale i3 helpless when stranded. He is so heavy and his skeleton is so flimsily constructed that he quickly suffocates by pressure of his own bulk on his lungs.
