W ild Geese Abandon Old Flying Formation W hite Salmon In the state of Wash ington reports a curious occurrence. The wild geese flying toward their nesting grounds abandoned the tline- honored “ V" formation and took to the crescent. W hat can account for so basic a change In goose technology? the New Tork Sun asks. Mere accident seems aa Insufficient explanation. It Is more logical to consider the matter from the standpoint of cause and effect. The fact Is that the modern goose has been afforded unusual opportuni ties for observing formations. He sees football teams In action, observes the deploying lines of young men at cltl- sen training camp drill. He cannot help noticing the gyrations of boy scouts and cnntp tire girls. The air service brings a variety of putterns to his attention In the air Itself. Then every goose has memories, or Inis beard traditions or rumors of Eu ropean w ar activities— the salient, the enveloping movement, the varied and wavering course of the zero hour a t tack. I t Is a scientific age. Is even the goose affected?

Historians have found documents showing that a re public In which all the Important of fices were held by women existed In Bohemia In the 8eventh century. The 8oclety for Historical Research will publish a complete account ot this republic. It appears that at the death of Queen IJhussa o f Bohemia, a young girl named Wlaska. who had been the trusted counselor of the queen, or ganized an armed force of a few hun dred women and waged w ar against the barons of the country. Several strong castles were stormed and tak en by these amazons and the prison ers were compelled to work the fields and do the most menial labor. Aa assembly composed entirely of women voted that, 1. Any man In possession of arms should be punished by d eath; 2. When expeditions were to be made only women would be allowed to fight, the men's role being that of nursing the wounded and driving the carta with food and w ater; 3. Men were to be allowed to ride with their knees on the same side of the horse (side- wise) ; 4. Women were to chose their husbands and a man’s refusal to ac Towne Have Similar cept a woman’s choice was aa offense and Some O dd Names punishable by death.

J K ilt Not National Dress o f Scotland By many people, the kilt Is regarded • as the national dress of Scotland, bul this Is not correct, for It Is worn only In the Highlands and bas never been popular In the Lowlands. The kilt was I suppressed by act of parliament In 1745, a fter the Jacobite rebellion, and though It was tolerated at a later date. It never became popular again. ' The earliest mention of the kilt Is to be found In an obscure passage of the Norwegian history of Magnus . Barefoot, a king of that country who came to the Hebrides In the Eleventh century. It appears that the dress of those days consisted of a sort of skirt, dyed or painted, and a mantle, the former being the original of the kilt nnd the latter of the plaid. In “Letters from the North of Scot land," published in 1725, the author describes the Highlanders as wearing “a bonnet made of thrum, without a b rim ; a short coat, a waistcoat longer by five or six Inches; short stockings, and brogues without heels. Over this habit they wear a plaid, which Is usu ally three yards long and two breadths wide, and the whole garb is made of chequered tartan.” ■ ■ 3 I ■ a ■ ■ « ■ « « a a a « a i a ■ ■ ■ • a a I a ■■■■■■■■•>■■■■■■» W hen you have a FIGHT THE FLY D O IT N O W Send ua the price o f a y e a r’t ■ubscription if you are in arrears A t the Party She— It's the bardesl work to get Alle« to sing.
