= ! LAY ALL UNDER CONTRIBUTION Persian Dervishes Demand Aims as a Right, and Simple People Read. ily Give Up. i e A feature of Persian life which illus- ‘trates the simple and superstitious nature of the people of the mideast is their tolerance of the dervishes. These weird, gypsyllke beggars Infest the cities and -annoy the village folk in passing from one place to anether, ac- cording to thelr vows of itinerancy. These are not the whirling dervishes of circus‘fame.- Whirling would be too energetic a form of worship for the members of this most anclent leisure class. Their greatest exertion consists of walking slowly and-blowing-a horn to announce their presence, The dervish of Persia i3 known .by his begging bowl, conical cap, animal skin cape and club. The weapon, which Is usually a stick driven through with nails, 1s carried conspicuously. IC fact, it seems unpleasantly ready for use ‘when its owner calmly de- mands tribute. It Is true that there {8 small danger of its use, even if alms are refused, but a refusal how- ever polite and apologetical, is sure to arouse the wrath of the dervish. His vocabulary may be unintelligible, but the meaning of his threats and proph- ecles is usually understood. Fellow citizens of the dervish tribe prefer to make a gift at any cost in order to avold having the wrath of heaven called down upon them in the masterly language of an experienced heaven in- voker. S The dervish makes himself useful to the community- honored by his pres- ence by telling fortunes and storles, reciting prayers, selling charms and even curing the sick by blowing his sacred breath on them—all in return for which- he turns over to his chief after deducting a living wage.. GIVEN 'NAMES OF PRESIDENTS Historical Appeliations Bestowed on - ‘gummits of Mountair Range In Old Vermeont. Heretofore when one spoke of th " presidential range everyone — every New Englander, at least—knew, with- out further particularizing, that Mount Washington and its attendant summits was the subject, writes Allen Cham- berlain in the Boston Hvening Tran- script. 3 Henceforth one must needs be more specific, since during the last year a rival presidential range has appeared on the map in Vermont. That region, - hitherto generally spoken of as the Bread Loaf Mountaln section, lying between Middlebury gap and the Lin- l 1 | coln-Warren pass, was but littie known, except in its southerly portion, until the Green Mountain club men ran thelr S8kyline trall through. They found: there a maze of unnamed sum: mits grouped as In council, and seem- ingly worthy of being recognized as individuals of distinction. Just north of these helghts is the rugged mass whose summits have been known for more than half a century as Mounts .Abraham and Lincoln. Quite naturally the idea of a new presiden- tial range arose and, with great parti- san restraint, four of the neighboring mountains were therefore named Mount Grant, Mount Grover Oleve- land, Mount Roosevelt and Mount ‘Woodrow Wilson. Poisoned by Ink. Behind the scenes at the Globe the- ater, where, to the delight of all play- goers, Miss Violet Vanbrugh has scor- ed another wonderful success In “Trimmed in Scarlet,” the famous ac- tress told me this amusing story of her |- early days. t “We were playing ‘Romeo and Jul- fet’ on tour,” she said, “and one night in the poison scene, Juliet found her- self without a phial. The audience was wdlting, and in despair she snatched an ink-bottle from the stage carpenter, and gasping ‘Is it empty? rushed on. - . “But when the hapless lady raised the bottle to her lips and tipped it downwards, a stream of ink descended over her chin and down her white dress. The house yelled at the comi- cal sight.”—London Tit-Bits, No More Shiny Domes. After the wonders which we have seen worked for the soldiers who suf- fered disfigurement during the war, it is not surprising that plastic sur- geons are turning their attention to fmproving “civilians also. Ugly noses, projecting ears, harelips and all sorts of other: obstacles to good looks will probably be easily corrected in the not-far-away future. - The most in- teresting thing along this line which has been recently discovered is that no one need suffer from baldness any more. By grafting a plece of skin from some part of the head where hair is still growing onto the bald patch, a new covering.is said to be {nsured. ) Fiji Fashions. Mr. R. W. Dalton, in his report of the trade of the Fiji islands, says: “Shirts are gradually gaining in popu- larity among the Fijians. All kinds "of soft tennis shirts with vollar and pocket or collar and two pockets sell frecly. These shirts are usually worn for dressy occasions, -when the na- tives are generally clothed in_ white or cream. “There Is an [ncreasing de- mand for khaki shorts and trousers The . shorts are either plain or with buckle knees and are being worn by Fijlan men beneath or instead of & loin cloth. There is also a large sale for umbrellas. Il BUSINESS WOMEN URGED _ TO EFFECT ORGANIZATION (By United Prass.) Fargo, N.
