Jugoslavs Emigrate to Far-Off Lands, Lure of Home Calls Many Back Split, Jugoslavia More than at twelfth part of all the Jugoslavs live! outside of their fatherland and are' found In almost every country In the' world. In the United States there! are more than, 500,000, In South' America 100,000. in Australia and New 1 Zealand several thousand, 5.000 in' Egypt, 20,000 in Prance, many In Canada, and a numbii even in Siberia. 1 There is hardly an occupation In which they are not engaged. In America they are farmers, fruit rais- ers, miners and factory workers, j Th^y are sailors on all the seas, work- i ing under many flags. They make j straw hats In Cantral Ame.-ica and nd tham to the United States. They .tch crabs in th . Gulf of Mexico and fish in the Pacific Ocean along tby shore of southern California. They ship vegetables fr>m Mexico,; sell milk in Chicago and keep little! restaurants in most of the- larger ities In all par's of the world. They have gone abroad to seek their fortunes because part* of taeirj own country have been under the op- pression of fo/eign rulers for ages' and in their barren mountain: and dry hills it has been difficult to find b-ead for all. Strange to say, the stony, unpro- ductive valleys and cliffs and peaks amid which these people are .-eared, exercise a charm over them which neither time nor distance can break and which brings scores of thousands of tnern home to viait or live. So many of them have returned from the United States to Dalma'ia. Croatia and Bosnia, that one is scarcely able to enter a hotel, restaurant, store, automobile or boat wihout being serv- ed by on of these returned eml- granto. In many a Jugoslav village the lar- gest house belongs to an ''American" and most of the chauffeurs who drive automobiles over the dizzy roads of Montenegro will tell you of the years ' the spent ia the United States.

Eve Acquires New Long-Lost Dignity When both mother and daughter wor frocks which barely covered their knees it was often hard to tell one from the other at a distance, at least. But now dresses are being worn long once again, and many women woo have said good-bye to thetr first youth are bewailing the fact that the extra three or four inches which hare been added to the bottom of their skirts n!- o add a few years to their age! n ime Fashion has decreed that Dig- nity shall be the vogue Youthful skittishness is out of date. Deportment a grace which was so important in the days of our grand- parents has been sadly neglected dur- ing recent years. Women have grown careless &f to how they carry them- selves and a slouching walk Is very i common. Courting Disaster. Will the longer frocks bring back a graceful carriage? Dignity is certainly returning to the ball-room. The present fashion does not laud itself to the Charleston the Black Bottom and other negro dances. , To attempt to Charleston In a frock ' which swept the ground woukl be- to i court disaster. Such dresses are bet- j ter suited to the waltz and the tango. Perhaps we may yet see the. minuet come into favour or even the stately quadrille! But of one thing we may be certain, and that Is that the prevailing fashion will have little effect on women's sports clothes. The modern girl is too enthusiastic over her prowess at g-ames to allow her movements to be impeded by garments which would reach <eveu half-way down her legs. So. while in the ball-room she may discreetly Uitl her ankles from view. on the tennis court or golf course she cheerfully shows her knees. I'ulike her grandmother.

But in the errning the sports girl vanishes, and in her placo is a graceful damsel whose "feet beneath her petticoat like littlo miv-o peep in aud out."

Ago Italy Puts in a Claim to Have Invented Winter Game Which Florence Played 400 Years Ago Tha recent highly spectacular foot- bail matches in South America, which developed into miniature 'wars." show once again that Soccer is the whole word's game, and not just. Britain's. A^d now a!on? cornea Italy with the claim that tlie city of Florence gave as the game originally, for they say that football was a favorite pastime there four centuries ago. They called the game "Giuoco del Caleia." and state that it was handed down to them from the Romans .and was thus introduced to this country. Other people though, think that foot- ball was introduced into Italy by gns- lish trained bands flghtiug in Europe. Nevertheless, the city of Florence played football 100 years ago. under the patronage- of the Medici, rulers of Florence, and of three Popes who were themselves good players In their youth A football match was always a most important part of any public festivity on great occasions. Much pomp and ceremonial attended the games. These special state occasion matches wen usually played in the main city squara with all the nobles and townsfolk pre- sent in gala attire. Even the piay-rj donned festive garments, silk and satin doublets and hose, and a close skull cap the- forerunner of our crash helmet. The- square pitch was. divided in;o two equal parts, with goalposts at each end. Th* ball was a round leather one like ours to-day. Taougb, the lime was a species ot Soccer, goals were scored by kicking the ball over tween the posts beneath. They went in for mass games, too. for the teams numbered twenty-seven a side fifteen forwards, niae half- backs, two full-backs, and a goalkeep- er. After each goal scored the teams ,-iiansed sides, but they did it with more spectacle and ceremony than we do. In these Barnes the leading side changed over with flags flying, and the losers with flags lowered.

The ancient art of mak- ing fish poisons from certain plants has been put to a new uso in killing insevt posts that destroy crops, I-'. X. Howes. British botanist, writer in a reoont bulletin of the Royal Botanical Gavvk-ns al Kew. Heretofore one u? tho main poisons for instx-ts has been arsenic, which is a.'.minist.Teci in tho form of spray solution. Many pests, however, have developed an immunity nii ai-e able to swallow considerable quantities of arsenic without any ap- preciable harm, according to this authority. Investigators found that fish pois- ons made from plants were a highly efficient substitute. Dilutions of as low as one part in a million or more of water have been found to be fatal to Insects on contact. Derris, an Indian group of plants, has b#n found to tx* extremely useful. The bulletin proposes to spray plants with arsenic poison for a few seasons, and then to substitute the plant poison in onlr to offset the immune strains that may evolve and kill them. Most of the fish poisons that have been found are of tropical origin, and 0110 of the mo>t promising is the South American cube. These, with derris, belong to the gume family, relatives of clover. These plants can be grown as fertil- izer crops in rubber groves, thus ob- taining two paying crops from the same land nnd enriching the soil at the same time. Another ancient plant useU as fish poisin is mullein, which grows in America as well as Europe. It is a rank weed, and if it also proves to be efficient as an insecticide its cultiva-j tion should be easy.

Examples from our own alphabet by Sir were : " V. V'.viT wo-> ontiiu'ly written lying on its sivle. s-a,s*ests an open mouth "B is the profile of two lips, point- ing towards t'.ie right. "E represent a mouth pointing to the right, with the tongue at mid- height, as iu pronouncing the sound of e in men. "I is aa elevated t MUUC. as in the sound of ea in eat. "L is another vertical tongue sign. "M repro-nr.ts two lips in profile, pointing upwards. ' O is a front view of a rounded mouth. "T is a v <;. -..-a'. : >tu:iy. touching the horizontal palate. "I" and V are both pairs of protrud- ed lips. "W is a pair of lips, like M, but pointing down instead of uy. "Every letter of our alphabet, ex- cept H and Q," said Sir Richard, "was closely related to the- shape of mouth which produces it." Public Opinion Auto Has Become Necessity One would not call tho a p u. mobile a luxury, but a common-sense, thor- oughly enjoyable necessity. Without it the modern family would be far less happy. It doe* inestimable food in -e'easing the family and the -wa^e earner from the confines of four walls, by taking them away from the mono- tonous run of everyday living ant! by helping to keep the family united. Lots of men lay up something for a rainy day and then get discouraged becausa it doesn't rain.
