The frigate bird, also culled the man-of-war hawk und the "frigate pelican," Is a sea bird, mo called from Its attacks on other birds. This bird, tt ry large und with black plumage, Is unable ot very powerful and rupid flight. It sometimes measures ten feet from tip to tip of its extended wings. On ac count of Its Immense extent of wing and its dashing habits, it has been culled the swiftest bird that sweeps the seas. The frigate bird la a tropical sea bird of two species. The larger ranges all round the world within the tropics f the Smaller is found only near the eastern seas from Madagascar to Mo luccas and southward to Australia. Both species breed In lurge colonies, building their nests on Tocks, high cliffs or lofty trues on uninhabited Islands. The birds often fly far out to sea, but most of the time they re main near shore. The frigate bird's aerial evolutions are extremely graceful and It soars to great heights. It is said never to dive for its prey, but to seize fishes only when they appear at the surface or above It. Flying tishes form a great part of Its food. This bird of prey also pursues gulls and terns and eats the Ash It forces them to disgorge. The male acquires under Its bill a bright scarlet pouch Which Is capable of inflation. HOUSED IN OLD BUILDINGS EASY TO BANISH THE "BLUES" Financial Institutions of Yorktown, Virginia, Do Business Among His toric Surroundings. Within -!0 miles of where the first English settlement In America was made at Jamestown Is the scene where Capt. John Smith records the story of his rescue by Pocahontas, the daughter of the Indian chief, Powha tan. Within a circle of 20 miles Is to be found the oldest Protestant church in America ; the kitchen where Martha Washington cooked in good colonial style; the college which has graduated three presidents; Bruton church, In which more men of his torical importance have worshiped than In any other church In America und Yorktown, where Cornwallls surrendered to Washington. Although Yorktown has a popula tion of lea than two hundred. It has two banks, both of which are working In what are probably the two oldest buildings used for banks in America. One of these banks, operating under state and trust company laws, Is housed In Ihe historic oldest custom house built in America erected In 1716.

Undue Despondency Can Be Cured by Attention to Diet and Cultiva tion of Optimism. fit of the "bines" Is as much an Intoxication as a drunken spree, and a bad attack may disqualify a person for wise and efficient action us thor oughly as alcoholic intoxication. A person subject to the "blues" should In his most lucid and optimistic moments resolve to make no impor tant decision, and to set a special guard over his conduct, while under the Influence of the flood of poisons to which the condition Is due. The real cure for the "blues" lies in prevention by removing causes. The foul breath and coated tongue noteil in these cases ure ubundant evi dence of (he poisonous origin of the "blues." The adoption of a polson free diet Is almost invariably fol lowed quickly by a change In the men tal state. It Is Important, then, that we culti vate optimism and forcing the mind into optimistic channels of thought. This can best be accomplished by reading optimistic authors and talking with optimistic people. An excellent plan Is to set oneself the task of cur ing some other neurasthenic suffering from his pessimism, by deluging hiin with optimistic Ideas and expressions. Adopt a diet that will introduce poi son free foods Into the dietary and as sist the elimination organs In carry ing out as rapidly as possible the poi sons that may be formed in the nat ural body functions. These things are not miraculous, but can be adopted into one's daily life with the utmor ease. Columbia Trading Co.

ARMENIANS NEED TOYS Children's Horror-Numbed Minds need Stimulus of Playthings. Thousands of little Armenian chil dren have forgotten how to laugh ami play. Many never knew how. Starva tion, massacre and horrors beyond description have been their lot. In the orphanages and at the relief sta tions they ait listless and solemn, never smiling, never laughing, making no attempt to play, for they do not know how. These pitiable little ones need not only food and clothes they need toys. With toys they may learn to play and smile and laugh. Their horror-numbed minds need the stimulus of play-things. The diacarded toys of American children are called for by the Near East Relief organization. These may be the means of diverting the minds ot the little Armenian war-waifs from the memories of massacre and suf fering too horrible for description. Help these little ones to forget what they have seen and suffered by send ing them the toys which have been cast aside ay your own klddiea. Picture books, post cards, balls, blocks, crayons, cut-outs, paint boxes, dolla, paper dolls, kindergarten ma terial, simple mechanical toys, etc., are asked for by the relief workers in Armenia.

Mrs. Kate ('lough Rambo, of Baker, Oregon, returned Near East Relief worker, tells a graphic story of the distribution of a shipment of old clothes received at Batoum in Trans caucasia. She says: "I did up bundles of clothing, each containing a dress, a skirt, a Jacket or coat, intending them for distribution among the women. I took Kappidles (a native assistant) and went in the Ford truck with great bags of these bundles. We drove into the yard at ' Petoeva Barracks. We took out sev eral bags and weir U I a ra, Kappidiea stood by the bags while I carried the bundles to corners where I saw they were practically without clothing. The first thing 1 knew, a woman snatched a bundle out of my hand; then came another and another. I called Kap pidiea to come away, as they were 1 turning into a mob. He and another assistant grabbed Ihe baga and wa went down anothtr staira, the mob Following. We Jum.ed into the car and had to hold back the mob with sticks. Where the sticks came from I nevsr can tell. "The crowd grabbed, they screamed, they fought. "They would have pulled me out of ! the car, but the chauffeur backed into the street and we tore away. After wards we returned and gave the clothes to the head mun to distribute to his most needy cases, but they broke the window to his room aud grabbed the bundles. Still, arter all, I have the consolation that the man Is said to have had when someone stole his Bible It would doubtless do good." Weight of Air. Until very recently nobody knew how much air weighed. We cannot see the air, and. except when the wlud blows, we do not feel It. Hence it seems to ua to have al most no substance. Yet It ia a rather substantial fluid. V. lien U move.-, at a rule of one huu dred miles an hour it uproots great forest trees and throws the walrs f the ocean into turmoil. If our bodies were empty of air the pressure of the atmosphere surrounding us would crush us to an Immediate pulp. A room ten fevt long, teu feet wide aed ten feet high contains 73 pounds ef air.
