Known to every student of animal life is the work of Edward W. Nelson, Chief of the U. S. Blological Survey, who has contributed notably to the information * concerning animal life of North America, from the time when he conducted pioneer scientific ex- plorations in Alaska, forty years ago, to hid more recent expeditions to ex- amine the zoology and botany of Mex- ico. Results of a major line of his investi~ationg have been published by, the National Geographic Society in a volume entitled “Wild Animals of North America.” No less important than the increase of geographic knowledge, the National Geographic Society has always held, is diffusion, and on this basis, es- pecia recognition was accorded Frank G. Carpenter. First as a news- paper correspondent, later as a travel writer, and also as an author of some remarkable school geographies, Mr. Carpenter stimulated interest in geo- graphic knowledge, and made intelli- gible to the general public a vast| amount of informative data. Like the earlier award made to Hiram Bingham, Prof. Grizgs was honored for service rendered to sci- ence while at the head of a National Geographic Society expedition.

FORTY FEET OF MATERIAL GOES INTO INDIA TURBAN In certdin parts of the world, where posu either to extreme heat or colq is a great danger, we find hats designed primarily for protection. Cu- riously enough, with all our modern scoveries, we have not yet been able to improve on these types, and explor- ers of today resort to the garments and methods of protection in use among peoples in such zones of dang- er. The sub-Arctic people from the fro- zen tungas wear a snugly-fitting bonnet Wwith ear-laps, designed to exclude the cold as well as to conserve the heat. Although the utilitarian side ‘is “the cssential Teature, and each of the twenty or more little pieces used in the construction of the bonnet are nec Y to make the shape, the people who wear this head-gear have adapted ornamentation to its limita- tions. Fur is the basic material, but there are effective inserts of different col- ored strips of leather, some of which are woven with leather of a contrast- ing shade. In introducing bright col- ors they depend almost entirely on quill work, although occasionally bits of trade cloth are used. The aesthe- tic value of the colors, in a cold cli- mate, is an important aspect of this type of head covering, which re- mains structural and in gooq taste. In India we find the turban worn to protect the head from excessive heat, the thickness varying according to the climate in each locality. These turb- ans are made of cloth of from twenty to forty feet long and from twelve to cighteen inches wide, and are’ wrap- | ned around the head in endless vari- ety, according {o rank and taste. AN those who can afforq it wear a band ten to-twelve feet long. made either partly or wholly of gold thread, on top of the turban. There are a num- ber of accessories worn in combina- tion wih' the tukban. yOne beautiful ornament, limited to tWe use of kings princes and nobles, is a beautifuily embroidered velvet band about six inches long and two broad, into the middle of which is inserted a gold plate set with precious stones. This is worn obliquely'in front of the turban and the banq is tied behind by means of a silk threaq fastened to each end. The natives of the Philippines and South Sea Islands wear large sun hats as a protection from the heat. Palm leav of various kinds furnish the 1 generally used, but the differ. Seme are woven flat apd*some wih a peak. I he comionest NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, DEC § T ne 8% A. L.

The ornamentation of these hats is very simple. ..o colors are used with the exception of brown, which is occasionally introduced in the use of hemp, In China we find, in addition to the large peaked coolie hat used as a pro- tection against heat, that hat which is emblematic of rank. The social po- sition of a Manchu woman, for in- stance, could be always determined by the ornaments on her bonnet, often consisting of precious jewels. These hats ranged in price from a few aol- lars to as high as $10,000 apiece, making our so-called extravagant hats of today sound cheap in comparison. One of the most interesting speci mens on_exhibition at the Brookiyn Museum is a hat covered with delicate ornaments of turquoise blue Kking- fisher’s feathers, in imitation of jew- els formerv used, fasteneg to a frame of a stiff black open mesh. These ornaments, which are made with a me- tal foundation, stand out about half an inch from the hat itself, and are beu- tiful both in design and color. It is easy to imagine the life of inactive, passive luxury that developed such a type of head covering. Pecan Crop in Alabama. In Alabama’s crop diversification the pecan is coming well to the front. It is a valuable product. It pays well and is easily marketed. One of the most important address- es delivered at a recent session of the Alabama Horticultural Society was that of William P. Bullard, of Albany, Ga., president of the National Pecan Exchange, who called attention to the importance of the co-operative sys- tem. The supply company last year did a business of $5,779,000, including lem- ons, grapefruits and nuts. Mr. Bullard dwelt particularly upon the co-operative marketing associa- tion, because he stated that without the establishment of co-operative me- thods in the marketing of pecans, at the present rate of planting and pro- duction, the pecan industry would be overgrown in a few years, and con- sternation result among the growers. One million trees are planted every year and about 100,000 come into bear- ing annually. While at the present time the domestic demand exceeds the supply yet eventually foreign fields will have to be opened. The National Pecan Exchange is equipped to cure, grade, pack and sell nuts for pecan growers all over the South., The curing house is kept at the temperature of about 100 to 110 degrees, with free circulation of air, as upon the circulation of air, more than its temperature depends the suc- cess of the curing. A large drum grader is being used but “a smaller is- made offgrader costing about $139, mgdykbev"’ may be Increased by units of definite size. “The exchange is growing from year to vear and will eventually have to move its headquarters to some large centrally located city where the en- tire pecan crop of the southern states can be expeditiously handled. The advantage of such an exchange lies in the elimination of the speculator, an intelligent distribution of the crop through a centralized selling agency, the stabilizing of the price, and the extension of markets through an or- ganized publicity. All of this is ac- complished with a greater profit to the grower and with no added ex- secured which, as the business grows wirector Spectal Heaitn we- . partment A, R.

The government, througn the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, wrote approx- imately $40,000,000,000 of insurance upon the lives of more than 4500,000 service men and women. This is a larger volume of insurance than is in force in the old-line insurance com- panies in the United States. Approx- imately 90 per cent of the men in ac- tive service during the war were pro- tected by war risk insurance and thej average protection was $8,700. ‘While the men were in service it was easy to collect the insurance premiums by deducting the amount due each month from their pay; now the men have to look after the pay- ment of their own vremiums, and t! men have to look after the pavment o their own premiums, and the situa- tian is fo-thar complicated by reason of the fact that the addresses of hun- dreds of - thousands of them are no longer known to the Burean of War Risk Tnsurance. Col. R, G. Cholmeley- Jones, director of the bhureau, does not consider it surprising that so many former service men have not contin- ued to make rezular monthly pay- ments of their War Rish Insurance premiums. He says: “In the first place, very few of them realize that the government insnrance as well as compensation and allot- ments and allowances, is paid by the treasury department through the Bu-! reau of War Risk Insurance; do they realize' that after their charge from active service their ckecks or money orders for insurance - pre miums should be made pavable to “The Treasurer of the United States,” and sent to Premium Receipt Section, Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Wash- ingten, D. C. Again, it will take con- siderable time for-the former service men to get on their feet and get their bearings, even though they are healthy and- strong. “Many have mot yet decided inte| what business activity, they. will en- ter or even where they intend ultl- mately to live. Lots of hoys {rom the farms will locate in cities and many city boys may move into.the country. In the interim "isn’t it too much to expect that the matter of payment of their life rance preminms shaald become paramount’ in their migds? “They must be given time to ad- Jjust themselves to new conditions; but we don’t want them to give up their insurance, and under a recent ruling every one of them who has been insured, and who is in ‘as good health ast at the time of discharge, has cigh- teen months from the date of his dis- charge from the service in which to reinstate his war risk insurance. “The payment of.only two premiums for reinstatement is now required to { g S cover the month of grace during whiéh the man was protected the other the premium for the' current month of re- instatement. The man, howecer, must state in his application that he is in as good health as when discharged er as he was when the grace period of his insurance expired whichever 8 the later date.” - What Is 1t? - Exchange goes lower every hour, but inasmuch as nobody knows any- i thing about exchange and never feels the difference, what of it?>—Washing- ton Po Trip to Woodshed Nescessary. !
