One of the old breweries that oper- atedin Washington Iy pre-Volstead days will give way to & public school it the Commissioners act-favorably on a recommendation now before them for the purchase of the square bounded by 4th, 5th, E and F streets northeast, as a school site. The new appropriation act carries $150,000 for the purchase of a site for a junior high school in the north- east section and officials of the en- gincer department have recoramend- éd the old brewery property in the square mectioned. The purchase price has not been made known. Funds for the érection of the build- ing have not yet been appropriated INDIANS MAKE BLOWGUNS. Great. Care in Making Zarabalan, Native Fieldpiece. From the Baltimore Sun. Perhaps the most elaborate form of blowgun is that made by the Indians of the Guianas It consists of an inner tube fashioned from a certain palm which grows very thin and straight The pithy center and the knots are knocked out with a hardwood stick. and the bore, about one-half inch in diameter, is ground to a machine fin- ish with a rough leaf which cuts like sandpaper. This barrel is then in. closed for protection in an outer cas- ing made of two lensths of hardwood grooved down the center, glued to- gether and bound with ornamental cane and beadwork. A lip-piece of carved wood is care- fully fitted. and sights are added— actual front and rear sights—and the weapon is then a completed zara- a ficldpiece of some eight to ten-or twelve feet in length, accord- ing to the available length of the original inner tube. gt URGES WALNUT CULTURE. 0y in the Thrift Magazine, that the United States spends on the average of $1,000,000 a week for important food nuts while millions of bushels f our ‘mative’ American walnuts’ go oke is on us, because we spend it and the other countries get it, and many people say that our native American walinut is the best nut to eat that grows. Candy manufacturers and bakers veed no longer hesitate to use native American walnut meats because of an uncertain supply. That is now a thing of the past. The® United States Department of Agriculture states that there are §1.- 000,00 acres of idle land, mostly in the east and general west, fit only for growing. trees, and much of this now idle Iand is suitable for hardy nut trees, including the black walnut s, each of the corn belt states 500,000 or. more acres. of very h land but subject to overflow, and now virtually worthless. Such lnndx are the natural home of the ZODIAC AND BABYLON. Also Adopted by Greeks About Two Centuries Before Christ. From the Baltimore Sun. The zodiac is of immemorial an- tiquity. It was invented in Babylo- m.l essentially as we know it, not later, and probably much earlier, than 2000 B. C. The Greeks adopted it about the sixth century before Christ and transmitted it westward. The zodlacal symbols came into use about Lh'?‘hu"u:i century. 6 zodiac is a belt of sk: = ing eight degrees on each ESI’éee:'iTge ecliptic and comprising the apparent paths of the sun, moon and principal It is divided into twelve signs of ‘thirty degrees each the names of which are: Aries, Taurus, e equa- tor, the last six south of it na six ascending signs are those from cornus to Gemini, inclusive, in vhlch the sun 1s moving northward; the six descending signs, those in traversing which it continually increases its north polar distanoe. The series begins with the vernal equinox and shifts through proces- sion. Hat Checkers Get Wealthy. From Capper's Weekly. New York spends $31,500,000 a year Just to get its hat back from restaurant and hotel coatrooms, says O. O. Mc- Intyre, who declares that although this sounds extravagant the estimate is based on excellent figures. One Broad- way restaurant recently sold its cloak- room concession for $12,600 a year, or $35 a dav. A well-to-do New Yorker's hat probably costs him more money in three to six months than the most gorgeous Easter millinery creation a middle west woman ever Wwore.
