Pago Pago Makes Port in Heart of Extinct a Volcano Crater. Washington.--Pago Pago, visited by United States naval vessels, on their return from Australia "and New Zealand, is the capital of American Samoa, which Is the only bit of American soli that Ilea sooth of the equator. according to the bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Pago Pago practically fell Into the lap of a none too willing America, while various powers were seeking Island territory in the Pacific." continues the bulletin ; "but if the entire Sooth seas had been combed, with all the other nations standing deferentially by, a better location for a naval base hardly could have been chosen. Host South Sea harbors are little more than crescent bays, protected by coral reefs, their safety largely dependent on the direction of the wind. At Pago Pago ships sail into the heart of a huge extinct volcano crater, only a narrow entrance open to the sea. Furthermore, there is a sharp turn inside, the whole harbor being shaped much like the ankle and foot of a Stocking. Beautiful as Wall aa 8afe. •The United States naval station Is situated on the 'instep,' its back toward the sea, but with high mountains Intervening. Pago Pago town lies at the 'toe.' Most of the anchorage is entirely ont of sight of the sea, and the ships lie In deep placid water even when destructive galea are blowing outside. "Giving Pago Pago the premier place among South Sea havens does not do it justice. Many famous harbors are more commodious; but It Is hardly too much to say that Pago Pago Is atMMH-e one of the safest and most beautiful harbors in the world. A narrow strip of level land rims the harbor. Immediately beyond this strip the sides rise np steeply to mountainous heights, the sloping walls covered with varying shades of green, tropical vegetation. Ill addition to the naval station and Pago Pago town, three or four villages nestle close to the water's edge around the harbor, their thatched huts half hidden by coconut palms. "The harbor of Pago Pago almost cnts the Island of Tutulla In two. This Is the largest Isle of American Sanoa^ 17 miles long and about five wide. The other American Islands lie about sixty miles to the east. Only one. Tau, about five miles in diameter, is of importance, though two smaller isles are inhabited. Altogether the population of American Samoa Is about 8,000, some <$,00(P residing on Tutuila. "American Samoa has been little spoiled by the civilization of the mother country, or that of other whites. Few whites reside in the islands besides the small group o( missionaries and the officers, men and nurses at the naval station. Only one plantation is owned by a white man and only three or four whites have leaseholds. Practically the entire surface of the islands is owned in small tracts by individual natives. The United States even bought from Individual landlords the 40 acres needed for Its naval establishment. \ "In the past the lava-lava, a sort of short skirt or kilt, was the only garment worn by both men and women. Now alight concessions are made. Iu Pago Pago or in the presence of whites the men add a sort of undershirt and the women a sort of jacket or smock. Among themselves, however, and In the outlying districts, the natives still let the lava-lava, tucked abodt the waist, serve in place of the white man's and white woman's more complex costume. Natives Largely Self-Governing. "In governmental matters, too, the United States has practiced laissex /aire to an extent highly appreciated by the natives. The system employed so successfully by the Dutch In the East Indies has been adopted. An American naval officer stationed at the Pago Pago depot is appointed governor, but all officials under him actually exercising supervision over the natives are native hereditary chiefs. The Islands are divided into three districts (ancient native divisions) with a native governor for each. Under the governors are chiefs of 'counties' (also ancient districts) and under the county chiefs are the village chiefs. The village chiefs have councils composed of the heads of families. "The United States practices a certain measure of paternalism over Its South §ea Island wards. Copra, the dried meat of coconuts. Is practically the only article of export. The government handles this crop for the natives, so assuring them a fair price. Free medical attention Is furnished through naval medical officers, dentists, nurses and hospital corps men. The health of the Samoans is excellent and their numbers-are Increasing. During the 21 years of American control the population has grown 41 per cent." Oldest Man in World li Now 140 London.--A man Who claims to be one hundred and forty yeahi old and to be the only living person who saw Napoleon was described to the Royal Geographical society by H. St. J. B. Philby, former British representative in Transjordania. His name is HajJ Tahir, and he states that he was born in Mecca, and went to Palestine at the age of twelve or thirteen. In 1799, when Napoleon was In Syria. "He Is sound enough In wind and limb," said Mr. Philby, "and has an enormous appetite, and, strangest of all, an Indisputable power of mastication with the aid of what purports to be a newly sprouting, but still Invisible, third set of teeth. "The only serious weakness In his claim Is that his offspring afford no relevant evidence of his age, as he declares that he committed matrimony for the first time at the age of seventy or thereabouts, and he has recently married again.** Mr. Philby added that, while Hajj Tahir claims to be one hundred and forty, he says Jhat he was born In the year 1215 of the Mohammedan era or A. D. 1801. which would make his age one hundred and twenty-four. Heiress Elopes Los Angeles, Cal.--Promptly upon turning eighteen years old, the legal marriage limit In California, Miss Olive Procter Van Heusen, heiress to part of a $4,000,000 fortune, eloped to Riverside, Cal., and was married to Harold John Schlan, twenty-two, a broker's empjoyee here. The bride Is the daughter of Charles Van Heusen. Oligocene Fossils Are Found in Montana American Museum Men Get Choice Specimens. New York.--Dr. Charles C. Mook and Coleman S. Williams of the American Museum of Natural History have Just returned to New York with many choice fossil specimens gathered in a three months' Investigating tour through western Montana and Idaho. Their particular object was to search for fossils of the Tertiary age and they were very successful. "Our first camp," said Doctor Mook, "was near Pipestone Springs, where we collected quite • variety of the smaller mammals of the Oligocene age. Included in this list, are the Meschippus, a small three-toed hqrse; various artiodactyls, the primitive ancestors of the modern sheep and cattle, and numerous small rodents and lnsectivores. We also found some fragmentary remains of the giants of those days; the fleet-footed hyracodon, a cursorial rhinoceros, and the enormous Titanothere, twice as large as an elephant, with a brain lesa than three inches in length. Important Work Done. The next stop was at Salmon, Idaho, where few fossils were found, though Important work was done In determining the age of the rocks in that vicinity. In going to Salmon from Butte we took the Lemhi Pass, an old stage- Fall of Holy Sepulchre Feared coach road formerly used to carry Is gold-mining machinery and supplies^ but long since abandoned. In the last two miles to the summit the road ascends 4,000 feet and was pronounced Impassable, but we made it without Incident in spite of a load of nearly 8,000 pounds. "In the Madison River valley, near Three Forks, Mont., we secured a representative group of the Miocene mammals., Among these were camels and rhinoceroses, of various kinds; merycolus, a primitive antelope; more three-toed horses, somewhat larger tlmn their Oligocene ancestors, and some of the smaller carnivores and marsupials. In this section we also got some good fossil fish and turtles of considerable size. "Our last camp was near Fort Logan, in former days a famous outpost against the Indians. There #e collected Miocene fossils, and dug out some of the best specimens of our collection. For the most part the animals °ere the same as those In the Madison valley, though much better preserved. 4 Use Touring Car. "Mr. Williams then drove the car down through the Yellowstone National park, across Wyoming and to Agate, Neb., to have It stored with the Thomson expedition of the American museum. The trip from Cody to Caspar, Wyo., was about 250 miles, and was accomplished in six hours." On their fossil hunting trip, the museum investigators drove a new touring car, which was taken at the Detroit factory. "The performance of the car was excellent throughout," said Mr. Williams. "In all our travels over untracked wilderness, we did not have the slightest mechanical trouble. Two tanks having a capacity of 30 gallons of gasoline were fitted, but apart from these and magne.to Ignition, the car was mechanically the same as any standard car. "We carried tools necessary for excavation, block and tackle, tents, bedding, cots, cooking utensils, provisions for two months In the field, as well as several bags of flour, and quantities of plaster, cheesecloth and burlap for preserving the fossils." :;v 'M A COVINGTON, KY, WOMAN Makes Remarkable Recovery Mrs. Harry Aabcroft Tells How Lydia E> PSnkhanfe Vegetable Compound Relieved Her of • Severe Illness and Pain A MRS. HARRY * 8 H C " f ' F T ••a BCECH AVrNUt. COVIf v KY, Covington, Ky. --"I was so weak and nervous I could hardly do my housework as I could not stand because of the bearing-down pains in my back and abdomen. I sat down most of the time and did what I could do in that way--as washing dishes, etc. One day a book describing Lydia E. Pinkham'a medicines was put in my mail box. I saw how the Vegetable Compound had helped others so I gave it a trial. I had to take about a dozen bottles before I gained my strength, but I certainly praise this medicine. Then I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Medicine Dor blood. I was cold all the time. I would be so cold I could hardly ait still and in the palms, of my hands there would be drops of sweat. I also used the Sanative Wash and I recommend it also. You may publish this letter and I will gladly answer letters from women and advise my neighbors about these medicines." --Mrs. Harry Ashcroft, 632 Beech Avenue, Coving-ton, Kentucky. Mrs. Boyer Also Found Help Gilman City, Missouri--' I was IB such a condition that I could not eat nor sleep to do me any tjood and I felt draggy all the time. My head ached, my right side and back would almost kill me at times, and I could be on my feet only a short while at S time. I was irregular and so nervuut irritable and despondent tha 11 thought I could not stand the strain much longer. I had been this way more or less for ten years, but the last two years was just terrible. I took medicines, but got little relief until I befan to take the Vegetable Compound. took three bottles before I could see any change at all. I have taken seven in all and am improving right along. I have used Lydia e! Pinkham s Sanative W ash and take the Liver Pills. I can do moat of my work now, and I live on a farm and there is lots of it to do. I wash, iron, hoe the garden, raise chickens and tend to the milk." -- Mrs. T. M. BOTB^ Gilman City, Missouri.

Old "Washington Elm1 Is Saved by Operation Newark, N. J --The old Washington elm tree at Ho-Ho-Kus is resting com fortably after an operation on its trunk, and, the tree surgeons predict. Is good for at least twenty or twenty Ave years more. The tree, which was long past the sapling stage when Washington marched his troops under it bound from Fort Lee to the revolutionary post bt Ramapough. waS sufTering from an old wound, ands, It was said the operation was performed just in time The wound was made when roadbuilders cut away a portion of its |. roots to make room for a concrete ! base, and was never properly treated, j First one branch and then another fell away. Then the trunk became scaly, and it was feared the old tree was done for. Tree surgeons were called Into consultation, and the operation was decided on. The dead parts were cut away and the exposed parts covered with a tar substance. Holes were filled with concrete and painted ovef*. Sparrow Bait Lures 4,400 Cats to Their Death Tokyo.--The Tokyo police recently arrested a man charged with killing 4,400 cats by baiting them with live sparrows. He is Minoklchl Noguchl, and his operations, he told the police, hsve been confined mainly to the Hon jo district, where cats are as scarce as stean heat In Japan. The police were at a loss to know why Noguchl had a penchant for snaring cats until he explained hie wwdd*s tthhee official supply sooroe eff catgut to artisans who make the samisen, or three-stringed Japanese musical instrument, which is covered with catgut in addition to having strings of that material. Noguchl says he gets about 2% yen each for catgut yielded by one cat. about $1. He can buy live sparrows for a cent or two each, and often one sparrow brings In mere than two or three cats, especially if he Is fculcft enough to rescue his bait before Tom gnaws It too extensively. The cat trapper was released when the police failed to find an ordinance covering baiting of cats by sparrows, however disastrous it may be for Tool who lives In a land where catgut Is In such demand. 10 m MOT!
