Really Only One Occasion.
It has often been u matter of specula
tlon as to when, If any time, a awn
would feel perfectly at ease carrying u
doll. This perplexing question, one that
has no doubt disturbed the menial equl
librium of many psychologists, was
solved lhe other night by two gentle
men who had given the matter much
thought. The solution of the prob
lem was that the only time that a
male biped appeared unabashed while
transporting a doll In Ms arms was
when he was returning, In triumph
from one of the booths at a ne-irbj
man sent at park.—Washington Star.
MAY SHED LjIGHT ON HISTORY
Signs In Northwestern Idaho, Ap-
parently Gonturi » Old, Are to
Be Subjects of Invostig.tier.
Symbols nnd signs, believed to
have been chiseled anywhere f.-om
400 to 30,000 years ago, have been
discovered on lnvn rooks.in a remote
section of Owyhee county, southwest-
ern Idaho. The Inscriptions bear
striking' resemblance to Chinese al-
phabet characters. The Inscribed
rooks are In the vicinity of several
caves which scientists have arranged
to explore. Two distinct types of
carvings, ideographic nnd plctogrnph-
Ic, have been noted. Archeologists be-
lieve the Ideographic antedates by
many years the plctogrnphlc. Both ex-
amples have been found on a single
rock. Nearby is another rock with a
possible third system supposed to an-
tedate botli the others, hut which has
weathered beyond possibility of de-
ciphering. Indians say the more
modern carvings are the work of
•heir forefathers, but nssert the
ethers are the work of evil spirits.
Resemblance of the Inscriptions to
Chinese diameters Is taken hy some
to substantiate the theory that the

Sciantista Look to Region in Alaska,
Whore Comprehensive Study
May B* Made.
To scientists, os;-, of the e'gaiatnnl
features In connection 'with the exist-
ence of the extensive volcanic region
In Alaska Is the fact that It Is sit-
uated where, in the futa.e, at least,
it will be easljy accessible for study.
And there Is much room for the study
of volcanoes. Although volt-unism wus
probably one of the first of nature's
spectacular phenomena to thrill man
It presents one of the few obvious
problems about which science has no
satisfactory hypothesis. .Just where
the heat comes front which melts
stone, why It Is concentrated within
definite areas, from what depths the
molten material rises and why it rises
—these are some of the problems
about which there has been much
speculation, but In regard to which
few Hitlsfactory theoHes exist.
Telltale fossils nnd types of rock
show that the mountains of the
Alaskan peninsula nnd the Aleutian
Islands are ojfler than either the Him-
alayas or the Alps, systems which are
practically without volcanoes. It does
now follow, however,

The vendors of small articles sold
on the street after a "spiel" und dem-
onstration are known as “pitchmen."
According to an article in n recent
number of a popular weekly, this In-
dustry was begun In I860 In New York
city. A newsfioj- by the name of
Stovers got hold of some knives that
had become slightly rusty, at a bargain
price and sold them for a quarter,
making 200 per cent profit for himself,
i He saw an opportunity to duplicate Ills
feat by getting more knives, which he
did, but soon the uvnllable stock was
exhausted.
He associated a partner with him-
self, and sold lead pencils In the same
way. The partner's name was‘T>utchy"
Lehman. In n short time 'profits of
$(1,000 had accumulated. Lehman con-
sidered their luck a temporary thing,
ami took Ills share of the profits.
$3,000, to Chicago, and with It opened
n minluture department store, using
slmllnr tactics as the "pitchmen” by
displaying goods on open tallies. Imme-
diate anti Increasing success crowned
Ilia efforts, nnd the business expanded
Into what Is now one of the largest
department stores In the world.
