Recovering consciousness, Janâ€" ima felt cold and strange about the head. Looking into the mirâ€" ror, she gasped with horror, and fainted when she realized that she had lost all her luxuriant golden tresses. Later that morning, Stanislaw, the successful suitor, received a shock, too. He found a parcel en his doorstep and, openitz it, read this terse message: "You thought the world of Janina‘s hair.

In Glasgow, Marlene, a 23â€"yearâ€"oid married woman, felt highly inâ€" sulted when a girl she knew derided her for associating with men.

The Press service of the World Council of Churches has called attention to figures published in the April issue of the Unesco Courier, according to which the Bible came sixth on the list of "the world‘s most translated suthors in 1956." The figures showed Lenin, Jules Verne, Tolâ€" ctoy, Maxim Gorky, and Mickey Spillane in front of the Bible, in that order. Representatives of the Bible societies have examined the Unesco figures, ana say that their publications in some counâ€" tries have been overlooked. Briâ€" tain and the United States, where the scriptures are being issued in many languages, were among the omissions.

On her death her eldest brotherâ€"or, failing him, a youngerâ€"takes her place, or "f there is no brother, a woman from her sister‘s family. In the wild, remote mountains of Assam, there is a tribe, the Khasi, ruled by women. Many of them want to have children by European men, so they go off to work in the tea gardens of the Himalayan foothills where there are plenty of English bachâ€" elors who are attracted by their youth and charm. ‘They then reâ€" turn to their mountains, proud to bear fine children with fair skins. A Khasi man is absolutely proâ€" hibited from marrying a woman of his own clan, and in some cases marriages between certain clans are forbidden because the young people of marriageable age are of the same stock. So to ensure that there can be rone ensure that there can be no reâ€" lationship between them and the clan, these women take Euroâ€" pean partners. Gabrielle Bertrand, who reâ€" cently explored among the primâ€" itive tribes of N.E.

Heil all ye young men who are not yet wed, come and court Kâ€"â€", who is no longer the wife of her husband; come, ye maidens, and prevent it!" Divorce among the Khasi is a very simple matter. Couples separate for many reasonsâ€"adulâ€" tery, sterility, incompatibility â€" then they divorce, usually by mutual agreement. _ When a spouse is absent for a very long time a divorce is pronounced before the head of There must be two witnesses, and each party produces five rupees. The wife gives hers to the husband, who mixes them with his own and hands the iot back to her to shake up and reâ€" turn to him. He then throws them on the ground, whereupon a slave, acting as "crier", runs *horugh the village shouting: _ Generally, the mother‘s eldest brother represents the clan and helps the female head of it. The feminine duties and burdens, like the property, pass to the youngâ€" est daughter;â€"who thus has little chance of marrying young. The girls choose their husbands. Three days must elapse before the couple can live together The bride then visits her husâ€" band in his parent‘s house, takes him by the hand, and invites him to come and live with her. Captain Hunt said that not unâ€" til the birth of his daughter two years after the marriage had he the right to take his wife to the house he had built, in which he was now living. Captain Hunt‘s marriage was of this kind. On the wedding day, he said, he went with his friends to his bride‘s house, and half way was met by her and the men of her family. They offered each other bete} nut and spirit from a bowl, then all went to the house where other relatives waited. These took him by the hand and said: ‘You are going to be our broâ€" ther; you must be kind and take great care of your wife and obey her in everything and follow her everywhere" â€" the exact opâ€" posite of our Western procedurs. He was then permitted to sit next to the girl, though he had known her over a year and proâ€" posed long before. Next, he wa: required to present her with a bhag of betel nut, some of which she offered to all the guests in turn while the ritual formula was being put to the two conâ€" tracting parties, who replied.

"Scented sub. Sank same." With this bantering takeâ€"off on the famous World War H mesâ€" sage, U.S. naval officers quietly confirmed reports that a revoluâ€" tionary new technique of locatâ€" ing enemy submarines by smell is now being used hy the fleet Scientists call the technique ‘oderiferous homing on ionized stimuli"; more simply, Navy men call it "sniffer gear." The sniffer gear takes advantage of a basic weakness of subs equipâ€" ped with snorkel breathing deâ€" vices (an estimated 200, or 40 per cent of Russia‘s underwater fleet), which expel gas exhaust fumes into the atmosphere. Slung on the wings of hunterâ€" killer aircraft, sniffer gear makes continuous chemical analyses of the air, much like the exhaustâ€" gas analyzer that yarage mon use when tuning up automobile engines. * Vicuna Coats â€" Sale Is Booming A recent drop in the price of this rarest of fibers â€" from $24 a pound down to $13, owing to realease of backlogs by South The device is incffective against | nuclear â€" powered â€" subs which, thanks to airâ€"regeneratâ€" ing equipment powered by Aâ€" electricity, can cruise underâ€" seas without surfacing for weeks at a time.

The 3â€"footâ€"tall animal cannot be domesticated, and in general, is so unapproachabie it must be s‘ain before it can be sheared. Yield per beast: Oneâ€"quarter of s pound. Since much fibre is iost in spinning, weaving and cleaning, it takes 40 animals to make a coat. Still, some citizens wanted to know: "What is vicuna?" Another bit of vicuna lore for amateur naturalists and proâ€" fessional politicians: The animal veither kicks nor bites to defend itself, but if you come too close, it spits in your eye. Millions Never See Red! When a market gardener was accused of slackness in picking tomatoes, he indignantly replied that he was working as hard as ever. Special tests showed that he was right. But as the man was colour blind he could not tell when the tomatoes were turning ‘rom green to orangeâ€"red, when they should be picked. New researen into colour blindness shows that every year it becomes commoner in men than in women. of more than 100,000 railway workers said that more than a million people in Britain alone were colour blind.

I spent a few days at Maisass, a farm owned by Wolf Wildan. The panorama viewed from my boxâ€"bed, built into the angle nf the wall of my chamber under the eaves, was a miracle of naâ€" ture. At sunrise, at sunset, and by the light of a late rising alâ€" pine moon. On a balcony I ate curds and whey from a wooden bow!l, the spoon nearly as big as the bowl.

In 1917 a German farmer named Schammâ€"was found dead in bed, shot through the head by his His friend Pawlowski, a Pole, admitted that he had visited Schamm on the evening of the tragedy. They had quarrelled, he said, and Schamm had threatenâ€" ed him with the gun. He denied that he had in any way harmed Schamm but was unable to exâ€" plain how the farmer died. It was obviously not suicide beâ€" cause the weapon lay on a table out fo Schamm‘s reach. Pawlowski was lucky to gscape sentence of death. Twenty years iater he was allowed to go with prison officials to Schamm‘s cotâ€" tage.

When a spell of settled weather breaks suddenly,‘ your nerves may suffer, causing careâ€" less driving or forgetfulness when crossing the road.

In contrast, there was hardly arf accident during a settled period. it Dr. Horvath suggests that ruâ€" alo warnings should be issued advising people to watch their step whenever a sharp weather change is predicted. f Examining the barometer‘s rise and fall in relation to 12,â€" 000 road, rail and industrial accidents, he found a sugden weather change was a contribuâ€" tory cause in nearly a third of them. + You can, of course, yell "wolt" too often.
