The open season for beauty contests is a reminder thut the geography of beuuty is as diversified as the geogratf phy of food and fashion. Often what one people may consider personal blemishes are marks of beauty in other countries, says a bulletin from the Washington, I). ('. headquarters of the National Geogra- ! |)hic society. For example, moles are I considered especially ap|>ealing in Egypt. Blobs of flesh resembling huge warts are supposed to beautify the faces of the women of some Belgian Congo tribes. Many of the "ugliest" types of beauty, according to American ami European tastes, are found among African tribes. Particularly ugly are the female faces deformed by cicatrisation, which is accomplished by rubbing mud into open sores until they swell In permanent ridges. Cicatrization in an oyster shell pattern on the Chin, cheeks and forehead is supposed to enchance the appeal of the women of some Central African tribes. The most odoriferous of African beauties arc the Ethiopian women who smear their hair with rancid butter. In hot weather they are attended constantly by a regiment of dies. Since tho butter is only removed about three times a year, shampoos are negligible factoi -. The beauties of the Mangbettii tribe of Central Africa adopt a hairdress that resembles a Grecian urn lying on its side. They bind their hair in a tight coil ami the hair that is drawn back is cm loscd in a large Hat disk. With this skin-tight hairdress, into which long metal pins have been inserted, and their prominent features, they form striking pictures. The slant-eyed sub-debutante Ixmuty of Cambodia in Indo-China also affects a distinctive coiffure. Until womanhood is reached, her hair ?s cut off, with the exception of a single tuft on the top of her head. This tuft is inclos<d in a little wooden or metal 1k?w1, around which the head is shaven. When womanhood is reached, the howl is removed and the rest of the hair is allowed to grow. However it never reaches any great longti and is stiff from tepontcd shavings i: the past.

The iH-uat es of the island of Ma laita, in the Solomon group, are fe rtxrious looking creatures with hvigi fuzzy mops of hair. Through the sep turns of their noses they plunge Ion skewers which are supposed to in' part extreme beauty to their countc nances. The skewers are made r various materials, gilt nails, string of beads, small tusks, cured, shelle tufts of dried grass and long ban l>oo or bone plugs. Startling color effects are achieve by the women in other parts of tf Solomon Islands. They bleach the kinky hair white with a paste mat from coral lime. An arch of lime applied over each eyebrow. Straigl 4inea of lime cross each cheek at meet at the chin. The coral pas adornment is useful as well as deco utivo. It destroy* vermin. Big ears are considered beautiful on the Island of Borneo in the Dutch Mast Indies. The women insert heavy rin^s ;n the lobes of their ears until they gradually yield to the weight and assume the desired ehuracter of vjpng loops. These often hang below the shoulddr an<l th?' beauties adorn them with heavy rings. Henry W. Grady > Tribute To The Country Home. "A few Sundays ago I stood on a hill in Washington. My heart thrilled as I looked on the towering marble of my country's Capitol, and a mist gathered in my eyes as I thought of its tremendous significance. It seemed to me the best und mightiest sight that the sun could find in its wheeling course und I felt that if wisdom und justice and honor abided therein, the world would stand indebted i to this temple on which my eyes rested, and in w>hich the ark of my covenant was lodged for its final uplifting and regeneration. "A few days later I visited a country home. A modest, quiet house sheltered by great trees and set in a circle of field and meadow, gracious with the promise of harvest; barns and cribs well filh-d and the old smokehouse odorous with treasure; tin- fragrance of pink and hollyhock mingling with the aroma of garden and orchard, and resonant with the hum of bees and poultry's busy clucking: inside the house., thrift, comfort, and that cleanliness that is next, to godliness. "Outside ??tood the master, strong ami wholesome and upright; wearing no man's collar; with no mortgage on his roof, and no lien on his ripening harvest; pitching his crops in his own wisdom, and selling them in his own time in his chosen market; master of his lands and master of himself. "And as I gazed the memory of the great Capitol faded front my brain. Forgotten its treasures and its splendor. And I said, "Surely here?here in homes of the people is lodginl the Ark of the Covenant of my country! Here is its majesty and its strength! ; Hero the beginning of its power and the end of its responsibility!" i " t op Sold Home Brew. Greenville. S. ("., Aug. 27.-1:.

"Madras with its highest point but 22 feet above the sea, is one of the world's flattest cities," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "It lies on the Bay of Bengal on the southeast coast of India. The site of the city and the surrounding countryside are so flat that ships entering the harbor cannot see farther than the first row of the city's buildings. "The harbor of Madras is 'too shallow for seagoing vessels to get near shore. Passengers and cargo are transported ashore in masula boats, made of long planks bound together by cocoanut fiber, or on catamaran rafts. The rise and fall of the tide off this part of the coast is only between three and four feet daily. ' "The city lies sprawled out along the coast, being spaced at intervals by estuaries and two sluggish rivers, the Cooum and the Adynr. Its wide avenues are shaded by tall palms and banyan trees, some of which are So large that they arch across the streets. It is these trees which make the Marina, Madras' famous sea front promenade, agreeable for walking on the hottest days. "The houses of the more prosperous citizens are set in compounds which look like parks. Sometimes rice fields divide these compounds and give the landscape the aspect of a country village spread out over a large area. Cannas and other flbwers bloom riotously in the gardens, making vivid spots of color against the tropical greenness. Many of . the principal shops are fronted with gardens. Kverything in Madras is on a wide scale. F.ven in the native quarters of Triplicane and George Town, the houses are not built so closely as in othi-r Indian cities. "Numerous parks intensify the impression of space in the city. In the 116 acres which form the Peoples Park are 11 artificial lakes, an athletic ground, a large zoo, numerous excellent tennis courts and a bandstand. Rare trees, shrubs and plants 'beautify the 22 acres of the Horticultural Gardens. "A visitor to Madras get* the iiupredion that the Madras*, both nalive aud Anglo-Indian, are ardent ex poiiciits of higher education. There is a state university, many professional and art colleges; and the Madras Christian College with its numerous buildings is one of the largest colleges in India. Pacheappa College was founded about a hundred years ago when higher education was. unknown in Madras. Its founder was a far-seeing and benevolent Hindu. Madras has a Y. M. C. A. housed in a large red sandstone building, presented to the city by a famous American philanthropist. "Al>out a tenth of Madras' half million population is Christian. Hindus form the largest part with Mohammedans second, but the Christian aggregation is almost as large us the Mohammedan. The Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Thomas was founded by the Portuguese in 1504. The earthly remains of St. Thomas are Supposed to lie beneath its floors. | "Madras is an old city in AngloIndian history. It was the first large Settlement made by the old Ease India company, which was given a charter by Queen Elizabeth. The cloth which the merchants of the 'company obtained from the natives was called madras. They also traded for percalla, which we know as percale. Elihu Yale, of Boston, for I whom Vale university was named, was one of the early governors. Madras city is capital of the Madras presidency and contains the governmental buildings. Many of these are of rare beauty, but they are spread out over the community in such a way that their effectiveness is lost.'* A six-wheeled motor car has been built for the king of England. It is designed to travel over the roughest moors and broken giound. It has deta liable caterpillar treads of rubber for eal rough ground. On the open road it has a speed of 150 miles per hour.
